r.. L. FraZee, Frazee City, put in an appear
auce. He is the chief resident of the little
town named in his honor, and conducts a
large mill, owns and manages several farms

then for the Democratic party, of which he is
Il leader in that section of the state. at the
last cleo tion he ran as the Democratic candi-
date for lieutenant governor and made n
creditable showing. He has frequently repre-
sented his district in the legislature.

NJ. E. Dixon, Chicago, is registered at the
Ryan. In appearance he is small, not to say
sawed Off, and boasts of a heavy and luXuri-
ant mustache. For years and years he was a
reporter on the Chicago Tribune and Times
and had the reputation of knowing more men
throughout the country than any newspaper
man in the United States. Once introduced
to a man, even if the introduction is per-
formed by himself, he never allows the other
party to forget him. Even in Montana his
style of reaching a man for an interview or
to get news of any description would be
termed audacious.
He has retired from active newspaper
work for the present and is handling a new
illuminating machine, which he naturally
claims Will increase the illumination of the
ordinary gas and consume less than by the
old jets. His stay in ST. Paul is limited.

Robert II. Gray of jamestown, OAK, the
eldest of the four brothers comprising the
firm of Gray Brothers, proprietors of the
Mouse River Cattle company, is reported to
be very sick at Winnipeg. He is so low that
1t is not expected that he can live but u very
short time. His brother John and a sister
passed through ST. Paul yesterday, en- route
to his bedside. Gray Bros. were formerly
large operators in the oil regions of Pennsyl-
vania. For the past few years they have
been farming and raising cattle in Dakota.
STREET SAYINGS.
Ehle Allen has returned from his two
weeks sojourn in the East. and he says he
had a splendid time. During his trip he Wis
tied Boston, and one day as he was walking
up the street he suddenly discovered that he
was followed by a large crowd of street
gamins, and he noticed that the people along
the sidewalk were looking at him curiously
and smiling. 1t worried the st. Paul boy
considerably, but with his characteristic air
of nonchalance he strolled on. But the
crowd still followed, and with view to get
ting away from them and learning if possible
why they were following him, he dropped into
cigar store. He purchased some cigars
and had turned to go out when the proprietor
said: MY friend, somebody's been playing a
joke on you,' and stepping up to Ehle he
unpinned square piece of cardboard from
the back of his coat and held it up before his
eyes. On it was printed: "Ehie Allen, ST
Paul, Mimi, Sitting Bulls right bower" He
had been victimized by a travelling man,
friend OF his who was stopping at the same
hotel, but he didn't say word, and slipping
out of a back door, escaped the crowd OF
bootblacks ard newSboyS who were peering
curiously through the front windows to feast
their eyes on the friend of the sQuatting
Taurus.
When Mary Anderson was here the GLOBE
criticised her style.of hugging and kissing
aud the criticism was extensively copied
throughout the country without proper
credit being given, but the climax was capped
when last week the Pioneer Press repub-
lshed it as a clipping from q Western ex-
change, and yesterday morning when the
Minneapolis Tribune printed it, giving credit
to the Deadwood Nugget. Cross-eyed eX-
change editors are an Improbable invest
ment.

Once more DIR. J. H. Murphy has laid him
self open to the laugh of his friends. Several
weeks ago the doctor imported a fine Jersey
heifer from the East. 1t came to him highly
recommended, and he allowed no opportunity
for dilating on the quality of her blood
to his friends to pass unnoticed.
A few days ago the doctor was in the back
yard admiring his new purchase, when, by
accident he happened to notice that she had
no front teeth on her upper jaw, he got the
impression from this fact that the heifer was
an old COW and he began to consider the pro-
priety of suing the man who sold her to him
for obtaining money under false pretense,
and he would undoubtedly have taken the
a veterinary surgeon who explained to hi
that female bovines, through freak of ma
ture, never have front teeth on their upper
jaw,
