A visitor to Minneapolis yesterday asked
real estate dealer if there had been any fail
ures recently. The dealer in dirt murmured,
''Oh, pray hush.''
The Tribune takes advantage of the liber-
ties of the Christmas to congratulate Capt.
| Suider upon his election to the legislature.
| Why doesn't some one congratulate Mr.. Mer-
| rill?
Among the things stolen in "S5, 900 rob-
| berry of q jewelry store in Minneapolis the
| other day 2T12-carat diamond is mentioned
| As the robbers took q large quantity of other
| articles which are included in the aggregate
| of $4,000 we are forced TO the sad conclusion
| that while the Minneapolitans wear very big
| diamonds the stones must be very badly of
| color. A % 15-carat diamond that goes in with
a lot of other jewelry to make up $4,000
package is hardly tirst-water stone, and we
| can prove it by any man in st. Paul.-Chicago
| News.
The news of the death of Gen. Logan was
| received in Minneapolis with expressions OF
regret on all sides, but by none with such
manifestations of genuine sorrow as by the
! cid soldiers. No public man has been more
! popular in Minnesota than Gen. Logan, and
| his recent visit awakened an interest in his
| career and renewed friendships, so that his
loss is keenly felt.
Some very amusing comments have been
made anent the Snider-Gross contest, and one
of these appeared in the Tribune. 1t referred
10 tue DIUuQefS vi TUE III SOlue VI Tue
precincts, and said the professional men at
the Fifth precinct of the Third ward did poor
work and the plain workingmen who were
Judges at the First and Fifth precincts of the
Fourth did such accurate work. OF course
the journal took it for granted this was true
and followed it up with comments of its own.
The facts make these statements very ridicu-
lous. The Tribune's ''plain workingmen" at
the Fifth precinct Of the Fourth were ]. f.
Byers and A. NJ. Scott, attorneys, and Judge
Janney, of grand jury fame. Its ''plain
workingmen'' at the Seventh precinct were
Frank ". Booth and S. L. Tfussell, lawyers,
and y. H. GiertSen, merchant. its "prOfeS-
sional men, at the Fifth precinct Third ward,
were james Best and a. Anderson, planning
mill men, and J. A. Maui, paper hanger. The
Tribune had better come again.
1t is said asithe result of Deacon Nettleton 5
non-partisan high license campaign meeting,
eX-Police Captain Daley will be made deputy
warden at Saltwater, which is doubtful.
]. H. MaXson, magnetic healer" was
one Of the witnesses at the inquest over the
body of Marion Radcliffe, who charged her
husband with causing her death. He stated
that when he was called to see the woman she
was in a most critical condition, and that as
a means of relief he had placed his hand on
her abdomen and prescribed yaseline. "For
it's so healing. you know" he added, as he
saw the look of wonder settle down on the
faces of the jurymen. His next act, he said,
was TO inform the persons in the house that
| she guessed they had better get another doc
tor He said this in much the same manner
that Old Sport in "a Rag Baby" might have
said, Il guess you had better get another
boy" and the smile that followed slightly
frustrated the magnetic healer.
Fred George can see plainly how Mayor
Ames is misrepresented. There's that Crow
ley case. was present all the time, and
know that Mayor Ames did everything posi-
bic for the man who, at his own request, was
sent to Merriam Park, where we thought
friends would meet him. The idea that Mayor
Ames would send an injured man out of the
city because he lived in st. Paul is simply
preposterous. Mayor Ames would not let
even dog suffer in that way.
A special memorial service for Gen. Logan

a. r. posts will meet with John A. Rawlins
post to take appropriate action on the death
of Gen. Logan.
The Orthodox Ministers association yester-
