The Big shows IDterfeEed.
No one has had time to attend to society
matters the past week. The Exposition
and state fair have occupied nearly all the
time. and the city is full of visitors. Nearly
every one has one or more guests to enter
tain. and plenty of opportunities are offer
ing themselves for doing this i'll royal
manner. The reception at the West hotel
by the Union league to Gen Logan was an
ENJOYABLE affair and was largely attended.
Friday evening a reception was rendered
the visiting editors of the Northwest at the
Minneapolis Press club rooms. and it was
remarked BY many present that more
sociable gathering it would be hard to find.
The season at the lakes has closed, and the
guests there the past summer have nearly
all returned to their homes in the various
parts Of the United States.

partment thought to learn something of the
inside history Of the family, and to this end
Secreted herself in closet where she could
hear and see all that was going on. Soon
Gen. Logan's son entered the room, and ad-
dressing himself to Mrs. Lockwood, re-
marked: Its too bad that father has lost

session. The young lady beat hasty. re-
treat. and in a short time all the govern
ment buildings were startled by the infor-
nation that Gen. Logan had lost his mind
and was a raying maniac. The Evening
Critic came out with a sensational article
telling how the general had for some time
had sUftening of the brain, and that it was
feared that this attack would neceSSltate
sending him to an asylum. Som the house
was besieged with reporters from all the
papers, all anxious to get particulars. The
matter was at last explained to them. The
young lady who had started the report is
