Mr.. T. P. James, county superintendent
of schools. was in the city yesterday, and in
the afternoon took in the teachers institute,
being held by Miss Sprsgue, state instruc-
tor.
On the Goth day of October, county in
stitute for teachers opens at Lakeland, at
which it is expected all the teachers of the
county will be present. There are some
sixty-six schools in the county.
Last evening was a lively one on the
| streets, there being a couple of brass bands
playing, one at the rink and another in front
of j. Clayburg & Co.'S. new clothing estab-
hshment, and the Grand Army had the fife
and drum band.
The barrel race on skates last night at the
roller skating rink caused lots of amusement
j. W. j. NJ. Cook can teach the young folks
| almost anything on the skates. We would
not be surprised if he got up hurdle race,
or something as difficult.
To-day the examination of teachers for the
county takes place in the city, at the Central
| school, south hill, instead of the high school,
as formerly noticed. The change had to be
made on account of their being no room
available at the high school.
The arrival of grain yesterday was not large.
The buyers are paying sixty-four cents, and
in the present state of the wheat market they
cannot pay more. The price of flour, how
ever, keeps up, but that is one of the things
that the why is past finding out.
For notices of Frederick Warde's ability
look in the GLOBE dramatic notices, as he is
| in st. Paul this week. Their criticisms are
| ing, and it will pay you to attend, if you wish
to see a celebrated tragedian act.
The Improvements going on opposite the
Sawyer house, on Myrtle street, will add
much to its looks. The new sidewalk on the
south side is well laid, while the broken stone
! on the street will not readily be washed down
by freshets. A good job is beiug done.
The iron steps that have been placed at
the main entrance to the state prison, are of
the best workmanship, and will add much to
the appearance of the entrance corridor. At
| do harn will hn cto ad win cr1r
ing light to offices under the steps, The
whole is finished in the very best style.
The new clothing establishment in Isaac
Staples old store had some of the neatest
signs yet seen in this city erected yesterday.
| The one in front has ''The London and
Liverpool Clothing Co.," and on Myrtle
street, ~. Clay g. Coz The first is fac
| simile of the one on their establishment, cor
ner of West Madison and South Halstead
street, Chicago.
There were a couple of vagrants, who
gave the names of John Norton ana John
Smith, before the municipal court yesterday
morning, and they were about as hard look
ing young tramps as have been before the
the court in some time. They were sent to
the cells for twelve days to await develop
|
taking too much tangleleg and promptly paid
his $3.50.
Yesterday we saw at Mr. NJ. Smiths con-
fectionery establishment, opposite the Saw
yer house, grapes which he purchased from a
| farmer near Lake Elmo, and raised them,
that would do credit to any state of the
Union. We had no idea that such fine fla
Vored and large bunches could be grown
in this section. It is another proof of the
wonderful adaptability of Minnesota for the
growth of almost everything that pleases the
patch.
When Mr.. r. W. Kerr left Gaspi Basin a
short time ago, after spending his vacation
there, his sister picked up pure crystal peb.
bic, which she gave him. On arriving at
Chicago he left it to be cut, and he has now
attached to his watch guard pure stone as
clear as the finest glass A dealer in Chicago
told him that he could have cleared $500 on
it by cutting it into small pieces and setting
it, as it was as bright as any diamond. 1t
makes handsome guard ornament.
The great entertainment under the auspi-
ces of the Miller Post G. A. r., takes place
| at the Grand Opera house on the evening OF
Oct. 3D.. We know there will be full house.
as there is no body of men more respected
in this region than the boys in blue, and
none that will distribute alimoney with a
more unbiased hand. Get your tickets out
to-day and have them in the hands of the
! different comrades, and we are
certain no one will refuse TO purchase a
ticket and aid the good work.
Nelson s. Co.'s store will close its doors in
few days. Things are looking badly de-
moralized there, as the goods have either
been sold or shipped to their store north.
| Only few goods remain, but Messrs Fisher.
! Olsen and Goggin are happy among the
wreck, knowing that they have done their
duty by the firm. Mr.. Fisher remains with
the firm, as he has always been with them,
but Messrs. Olson and Goggin will push their
way up amongst others. They deserve the
best positions, as they are posted in business
ways.
Mr.. s. G. Strickland, well known in this
! city, and who has hosts of frien Is here. has
been astonishing the Winnipeg rowers by his
prowess with the oar. While in this sity he
was one of the most active members of the
boat club, and one of the coming men.
| During the regatta Of the Winnipeg Rowing
club the past week, he won the race for
single sculls with ease. The Winnipeg Times
says: ''Mr. Strickland rows long, clear
stroke, and is undoubtedly the best single
scuII oarsman in the ranks of the club.'' He
also took part in other races, showing well
up. We congratulate him on his success.
We are at last in position to give the
names Of the candidates that contest the
aldermanic election to-day in the Second
Ward. At a meeting of the Democrats last
evening, James S. O'Brien was chosen as
their standard bearer; DIR. Merry was chosen
