People who Come and GO-whai
They Are Thinking About.

MAJ. MdIlln MdSlunlS, nelend. MONT,
arrived at the Ryan yesterday and departed
for Washington last evening. Twenty
years ago he reached Montana in search for
gold. He was q miner. He worked in q
small mine some two miles from Helena,
known as fuckers Gulch. He drifted into
Helena and was soon installed as editor of
the Rocky Mountain Gazette, the Demo-
cratic paper of the territory. He was pro-
NOTED from the editorial chair to seat in
the national house of representatives as
delegate from the territory. AS such dele
gate he continued for six successive terms,
and refusing a reelection, the present dele
gate, Col. Took, was selected. The Rocky
Mountain Gazette was subsequently changed
TO the Helena Daily Independent.
Mai. MaginniS said that while no partieu-
lar effort was being made TO force the adj
mission of the territory as state, its adj
mission would give general satisfaction. lie
said that the chairman of the committee,
appointed at a recent constitutional con-
vention, was at Washington, and every
legitimate effort would be made TO secure
its admission. Referring TO the territory
generally. he said that the mild winter Just
closing had been very beneficial TO the stock,
and the cattle interests were consequently
i'm prosperous condition. The mines were
also prospecting, he said, and Helena i'm
proving quite rapidly.
d. S. Hall, Benson, was at the Mer-
chants. He is the register of the land
Office at that point, and has been serving
the people in that capacity for the past
eight years. He is now waiting until his
successor, wilkins. can be confirmed by the
senate. His official cares have not made
A. Il Ia A..
prevented him from INDUCING in farm.
He is not only farmer, but lover of fast
horses and breeder thereof. His visit TO
st. Paul was in the interests of the Mime
sofa Breeders association, of which he is a
member.
II. c. JudSOn, Pennington, the secretary
of the Minnesota Agricultural society, was
a transient at the Merchants. He had at
tended the meeting of the state breeders
and was chOck full of stock and fair bust
ness. He said the intention was to make
the coming fair success in every particu-
lar, kind of high-water mark to which all
subsequent fairs could be compared. The
applications for stalls thus far, he said.
aggregated 1, 100, or nearly the total reached
at the last meeting, and the applicants were
non-residents of Minnesota, the Minnesota
editors not having made an entry.
-
B.Van Camper. Cannon Falls, was visible
about the lobby of the hotel. He looks
every inch the prosperous farmer that he is
and is fat and Jolly. He not only owns a
very valuable farm. but has it stocked with
some promising colts and proposes To enter
them in the coming contests under the au-
spices of the State Breeders association.
He will be remembered as the gentleman
who eight or ten years ago brought the
well-known and fast-running horse Wrall,
to St Paul. Wrall was big 16 = hand horse
and attracted general attention. The late
Gen. German, who loved a good horse, ad-
mired Wrall very much. He and Commo-
dOre Kittson met yesterday at the Mer-
chants for the first time.

The Hon. Il. l.. Frazee. Frazee City, is
very hopeful about the Democratic party of
Minnesota, and believes that it W i'll make a
better showing at the next election than has
b cen the case in the past. 1t is his opinion
that the Scandinavian voters, being very
loyal to the government and regarding the
party in power as the government, will de-
sert the Republican ranks and Join forces
with the Democracy. Their attention was
being attracted, he said, by the passing out
ting in of the Democrats.

Col. A. Allen. proprietor of the Mer-
chants, consulted his watch many times
yesterday. He passed not clock the live
long day that he did not inspect its face
and observe the time of day. He held long
and animated discussions with the porter,
and when not otherwise engaged studied a
| railroad guide and railroad pamphlets Late
| in the afternoon he surveyed q large trunk
and later donned his overcoat, hung a
valise over his shoulder and took charge OF
the other members of his California party
as they passed into the bus bound for the
depot. The party left for the West and
will be absent for some weeks.
NJ. Bunnell, the Duluth newspaper man,
was in the city. He is one of the proprie-
tors of the Herald. or late be has become
| quite enthusiastic over base ball matters,
and is interested in the club from that
! place which forms part of the Northwest
ern league. He expects 20 see the Duluth
! team carry off the championship and might
be induced to wager something on such a
result.
w. II. Robinson, Mayville Oak. is reg
istered at the Ryan. MIR. Robinson Is en-
! gagged in the lumber and elevator business,
and has no less than twenty-six different
lumber yards and elevators scattered about

he has been on little pleasure trip. His

can travel about while subordinates get out
his paper.

Capt. Alexander Griggs, the railroad and
warehouse commissioner of Dakota, OF
Grand Forks, arrived yesterday. lie came
| down on business, and, having concluded
the same, departed for fear that he might
