How an Eastern Young Man Com.
mitted suicide in Dodge CITY.
Letter to New York Times.
Dodge City Is the railroad terminal for
emigrants in search of buffalo. Dodge City
was named after Col. Dodge, who COM
manded Fort Dodge, on the outskirts of the
town, and 1 believe he did not long survive
the disgrace. Dodge City is not large. nor
would it's commerce excite the envy Of even
Chicago, but for pure and brilliant cussed-
ness it has no equal in the
country. The principal street contains
90 saloons, II dance houses and 81 faro
banks in two blocks, and there is a large
and populous cemetery near by, tenanted
mainly by gentlemen of convivial turn
who had once started in to have little fun
with the boys. An ethereal young man
from Philadelphia arrived at Dodge City
the other day and made inquiries concern
ing his brother, who had come there for his
health month before. He was referred by
the station master to a salOonkeeper half
way up the block. The ethereal young man
found the saloonkeeper sitting in the door
way hOning a bowie-knife. and made known
his wish to find his missing brother.
eyer wanter find ReginaP E. Smith,?
queried the saloonkeeper. "Reg-in-aP E.

ReginaP E.-sure his names Smith-can't
be that you're looking for chump named
Higgins that Bruno Jack plugged yester-
day?-no?- well-so many of these

The young man nodded.
''Klnder sickly-lookin' cuss-natral id
fool?"
The young man intimated that possibly
his brother might answer to that descrip-
ton.
h-l-him? Why didn't You say so
before-he's dead"
''Dead?" echoed the Mortified young man.
''Deader'n beeswax."
''How-how did he die?"
Suicide"
''Sucide?"
"Called me liar"
The young man returned to Philadelphia.

STREET SAYINGS.

MO. Hall, of Granite Falls, was in St.
Paul yesterday. 1t was rumored that he
came to the Capitol city to find out whether
himself or somebody else was to get the po-
sitiop of insurance commissioner when Mr..
McGill shall have been sworn in as governor
of the commonwealth.
~x*
N o. Werner, of Red Wing, was in the city,
and rumor was going around to the effect that
he fingered here to see that Mr.. Hall did not
get the afore-m mentioned insurance commits
sionership.
Some of those people whose memory dates
back to the gubernatorial administrations Of
years ago, have suggested as possible candi-
date for private secretary TO Gov. McGill ex-
Gov. Horace Austin, for, they say, lone good
turn deserves another.
~
Col Allen, of the Merchants hotel. says that
while he may possibly have contributed the
sealskin cap which City Attorney Murray is
now wearing, he is not certain. He
does not remember to have left the
goods with any of his uncles on
Seventh street, and he is somewhat
at a loss to account for the appearance Of the
cap at the city hall. 1t is rumored that a
committee OF three will be appointed to find
out definitely if the cap is actually new. and
if so. Just when Col. Allen made the arrange
ments whereby Mr.. Murray now has it.
These great questions between men who have
contributed so largely to the growth and de-
velopment of St. Paul as have Col. Allen and
Mr.. Murray, cannot receive too speedy
settlement
So
Since the order of Mayor Ames, of Mime
apolis against the general tough characters
aud fakirs that have been infesting that city,
went into effect there have been fears ex-
pressed by law abiding citizens OF ST. Paul
that in view Of the hard walking just now,
these characters might take short line train
and make st. Paul visit. Up to date few
lieved by officials that they will not stop of
here when they understand that special
attention has been turned in their direction
and that the St. Paul workhouse is little
short of help just now. The police are
watching and waiting for some of them to
show up.
