Col. Hubbard has already identified himself
with Minneapolis. Last evening he related
with evident enjoyment how he had the pleas
ure of refusing a ST. Paul man the privilege
of selling sweet cider at the Exposition be-
cause some one had paid twice the sum he
had offered for it.
1t was queer sort of a two-wheeled ma
chine that young man was seen pumping
around on the principal streets last night. 1t
was quite different from bicycle or veloci-
! pede, although it probably comes under the
latter nomenclature more appropriately. The
| little wheel is nearly as large as the front
wheel, and the riders knees are necessarily
nearly as high as his shoulders. 1t may be a
good invention, but is not graceful by forty
rows of apple trees.
Detective Quinlan has not despaired of his
| being able to recover the postage stamps
ultimately. but he con fesses that it is mighty
| uphill work. Some people would be dIScour-
aged outright by the many obstacles.
| Maj. Landberg's radiant face denoted
| something unusual last night At first he
was inclined to be reticent but eventually he
| became confidential. He had worn an oreide
star since his confirmation. Some unknown
admirer took compassion on his feelings
and quietly had a solid gold star
made, and last night it was
! sent TO him in a tightly-sealed box. When he
opened the box he began singing an extern
| ported Swedish hymn, and then turning to a
number OF the visiting sherifs proposed to
treat to soda water. That star rests majes-
tically on his manly left breast, and the old
one is relegated to the shades of memory.
G. L. Baxter, ESQ.,, is now president of the
| Wadena council. Last night he attended the
Minneapolis city council session with wonder
ment. Soon after the adjournment he re-
| marked in his quaint way: surely you have
queer way OF doing business in a metropoli-
| tan city
! Mayor Ames was out of the city yesterday.
| No one need be particularly surprised II his
mission should transpire to have political
| significance.
| Brutus Heilman. the ''ofical bootblack, -
posed us q model in one OF our city photo
| graph galleries yesterday.
Janitor Runge of the city hall feels lonely
indeed since the little birdlings took wings
and flew away. The shrili chirruD of the
sparrOws can no longer be heard in the jani-
| tor S baliwick.
It was more than refreshing to perambulate
the streets yesterday and note the absence OF
! crooks and ICON" men. The detectives have
kept good faith, and have scrupulously exc
cuted the mayors orders, and the oily-tongued
confidence worker, the willy bunco steerer
and the sleek crook has hed himself to greener
fields for operation. They are too well known
| here to expect to return and operate here
with impunity.
The county sheriffs have returned homo
with more than an ordinary impression of
the virtues of Minneapolis and her hospitable
| people.
Aid. Dwyer is free to confess that there is
nothing so dreadfully wicked in Sunday ball
| playing, but acting on Plutoun's advice to his
| son. once IN, he was determined to fight to
| the end.
