heo Rock camp meeting, has a wonderful in
nuence over the newspaper men who from
tlme to time have been sent to write up his
sermons. Sam Small, his co-laborer in the
vineyard of the Lord, formerly wrote for the
press, and was on the Atlanta press at the
time of Mr.. Jones visit to that city, and was

The electric lights in the Grand opera house
refused to burn last Friday night on the occa-
sion OF the commencement exercises of the
ST. Paul high school, and as a consequence
the large audience in attendance was COM
PEELED to sit in perfect darkness for the time
being, or until the gas could be lighted
Its just my fate,' remarked very at
tractive young woman who was there in all
her white dress glory. ''No one could see
my new dress with its lace flounces. I'll be
bound if had on an old dress or one that
was horribly unbecoming, the lights in that
old opera house would have been more brill
liant than usual. AS it was no one could tell
whether had on a new dress or last sum-

A gentleman just returning from an ex-
tended trip through the northern part of the
state and the southern portion of Dakota
says that the farmers are complaining, the
complaints being based on two different
scores, In Minnesota the farmers complain
because their crops have been badly dam
aged by the long period of excessive dry
weather, and as consequence they will have
only limited amount to harvest and dis
pose of.
In Dakota the farmers are likewise COM
pia1nlng, but their complaints are to the eff
1ect that the large amount of wheat raised in
that section will glut the market and reduce
the price OF grain. In other words, the Min
nesota farmers are finding fault because they
nave TOO small crops and the Dakota farmers
are unhappy because the crops are too large.

The new panorama building. with renre.
sentation of the battle of Atlanta. will no
open tor inspection to the members Of tho
press next Monday Afternoon. It is in the
nature of the panorama of the battle of Get
tysburg, which has long been one of the at
fractions of Chicago and has put manv and
many dividends in the pockets of the luckv
stockholders. So lifelil1e the picture and so
perfect the perspective that it is diffieult for
observers to tell where the made ground an
the picture, ends and the canvas
begins. Opera glasses are frequently bronobt
into play to get g. better view of the more
distant points of the battle field. Old soldiers
never lose an opportunity OF seeing the pic

The season is at hand when the dog catcher
goes about and gets away with the CANNES
which have no license but possess a home.
and allows the vagabond canine on the street
to go unframed. A dog catcher, apparently.
has no desire to catch dog unless the latter
has friends. He will pass by on the street
many ours without a brass check or license
of any description, and will enter yard in
which children are playin with an equally
poodle, and proceed forthwith to
capture the four-legged player.

The dog catcher surprised party of chill
dren OH Mississippi street. They were play
ing with Il little cur which had not received
the city's license to live Among the party
was little girl, an invalid, who had a shawl
about her shoulders, although the weather
was warm. The approach of the catcher was
made known and in an instant the little in
valid had stripped herself OF the shawl and
had covered up the little dog. The dog moved
not and presently the would-be capturer
moved on. bafi1ed for the nonce by the little
cripple. The necessary license was procured
within few hours after the dogs narrow
escape.
