RANDOM NOTES.

The lower end of the city seems to be
monopolizing all the amusement in the polit-
zeal line. In the Sixth and Seventh wards
the meetings have produced no end of can
didates for aldermanic honors with fun to
correspond. A half dozen meetings have
been held in each ward and still public senti-
ment has not crystalized to indicate, with any
degree of clearness, who will be the nomi-
nees.
s'There is more money to be made just now
in property just outside the city limits thai
in any within the lines" said one of the old
est citizens of Minneapolis yesterday. ''The
prices asked for inside property are out of all
proportion to its actual value, and while the
buyer is waiting for it to up,go he is eaten up
himself with taxes. Outside property is my
judgment" Here is pointer for what it is
worth.

81 am of the opinion said Judge Bailey
after he had finished his official duties for the
day, 'that the city would find it profitable in
the end to rent the unused portions of the
city hall building for ticket and freight
offices. Its convenient location would GER
tainly make it most desirable for that partic-
ular business. 1t is just about near enough
to the union depot. You known, that was
what was done with the old state house at
Boston"
~
A city official was overheard TO remark tina
he felt confident few years hence new
city hall would be built, and that it would be
constructed with view TO meeting the needs
of the city, and not in such an awkward
style as the old building, which was built
more to accommodate printing and pub
fishing business.

''You may tell your readers,'' said ]. s.
Gillespie, the lumberman, to an inquisi-
tive reporter, ''that 1 would rather live and
90 business in Minneapolis than in any other
CITY on the continent" Mr.. Gillespie has just
returned from five weeks trip through the
South II have visited on my tour fourteen
states and most Of the principal cities. Ny
principal object was to inspect the pinerics
of the South. ! DON'T want to buy any of
them, but am content to stay right here and
struggle for a Lying. think this city shows
more enterprise than any other in the
country"

s'Did you know that there are numerous
petitions in circulation for the signatures Of
Democrats for governmental appointments"
Intercepted Judge Cochran yesterday.
''No.' ''WeIl, I'll assure you that there are.
/ have met with aspirants for everything
from mail carrier to a postmaster and to
United States marshal. But they can't all
be appointed and there will necessarily be
many disappointment"
It is understood that the Northwestern
Telephone exchange will ask the city for an
indemnity from expense TO be in
Cured in removing to the fourth
floor of the city hall building.
Mr.. Black estimates that total suspension
of business for week or two will be neces-
STATED in making the change.
~
No change was made in the amended
waterworks act relative to the Office of chief
engineer Of the board. At one time it was
proposed to abolish the office, and to give the
duties of the same into the charge of the city
engineer.
IN
Angry pedestrians who had been splashed
from head to feet with mud were not few
yesterday. The drivers of vehicles seem to
treat people on crosswalks with utter lndiffer-
ence.

THESE bright, balmy days have given bust
ness in the city an immense impetus. The
word from all the tributary country is favora-
Die to u splendid spring trade.
