S. A. Phillips the unsheared nestor of
the Young Mems Republican club, stood on
the street the other day in conversation
with group of politicians from the primary
class. 1t was the day after c. A. San
strom was nominated by the Republican
county convention. Il tell you that man
Sanstrom has had most remarkable poiti-
cal career" said Mr.. Phillips. land it has
been so brief, too; that's the most wonder
full thing about it."
Yes, it has been very brief. 1t was like
this Last August the candidate knew no
higher ambition than to make correct base
ball score for Minneapolis morning paper.
His career" fairly begun when his name
was mentioned before the county coIven-
ton, and several who give out predictions
announce that it will end Nov. 2. Verify.
the nestor of the Young Mems Republican
club was right, lit has been short"

1t don't take much to set George K.
Shaw going When it was announced
that he had conSummated a strictly legiti-
mate business transaction in selling the Dis
patch with a recklessness of the man who
Jumps from the Brooklyn bridge, he offers
to bet 81, coo that City Editor Shultz is a
''liar" Mr.. Shaw seems to be one of those
people who don't understand the run of
Office, and thinks that reporters
go out and get items" and then the city
editor writes them all out. It's wonder
he didn't acuse Mr. Wheelock of writing
the paragraphs.
The other night Lew Scott, manager of
the Grand opera house, Mrs. Scott and a
friend of the two were in Mr.. SCOTS pr
vate Office after the people had gone from
the Black Crook performance Mrs. Scott
that ON the date of the anniverS
airy of their marriage Nov. II,
a little private anniversary celebration
be had in honor Of the happy event.
THAT is" said Mrs Scott, unless we
have something billed for the house
that night. It would be very pleasant"
The others Of the party conceded in this
idea, and plans at once began to be laid.
What is here on that nighG?" asked Mrs.
Scott. II will see" said her spouse, and
he reached for his book in which he keeps
the list of his engagements. Running over
the pages until he came to the date men
toned. when he read. innocently: why,
the Rag Baby is here that night" The
genial face of Mrs. Scott flushed crimson,
and she went inside the theater to see if the
lights were out, Mr.. Scott was very busy at
once with his books, and the visitor wished
them goodnight and said he must go.

Senator A. E. Rice, of Willmar, repub-
lican candidate for lieutenant governor, is
making a very active canvass He has
shaken hands with so many legal voters,
since his nomination, that ring worn OH
his little finger has blstered the
third finger. That happened two
days after his nomination, and now
the spot has become so ealloused
that it looks like a wart. Senator Rice will
have this wart carefully removed after Nov.
2, and will preserve it as souvenir of the
When the Hon. M. D. L. Collester gets
to stumping the state for McGill, as the Re-
publican state central committee announce
that he WILL it will be interesting to see how
be makes his campaign speeches gibe with
the temperance plank in the platform. Mr..
Collester made his best speech in the last
legislature, in favor of low license. Mr..
COllester will probably have sense enough
not to touch on any of the issues of the
but will simply give the public
words, words, words.

A horrible rumor was prevalent on the
streets yesterday to the effect that the Hon.
A. r. McGill dyes his mOustache. 1t was
said that it's natural color is orange. like
Newel's whiskers, and that he
uses a combination of lampblack and
meats foot oil to give it its present
sable hue. This rumor is not
published as blow at Mr.. McGill but as
pointer at Stanford Newell, and if he can be
persuaded to use some Of this dye stuff,
then the combinations of the political rings.
by which Mr.. McGill was forced upon the
ticket and Mr.. Newell made one of the cen
trail committee, will be forgiven by lone
some, timid, retiring public.
If anybody has any baggage or anything
that he wants to take out over the North
ern Pacific road, and it weighs up more
than the regular allowance. he had better
make two trips and take half of it each
time. This will save expense. l was re-
minded of this the other day when friend
of mine wanted to go to Walla Walla. He
was minister and had two trunks. Their
aggregate weight was 100 pounds more
than regulation. When he pulled out his
pocketbook to pay the bill he was told that
the charge would be S12.5O for the over
weight. He hadn't been preaching so long
that he has forgotten all his worldly express
sions, and he said: ''Great Scottl That
high," but no arguments could reduce the
charge. Of course, he had to have his
trunk. and there was no other line, so he
paid the bill. He suggested that he could
send it cheaper by mail, but he had to catch
the train and hadn't time to buy the
stamps.

1t is believed that the names of G. A.
Lafayette and S. A. Phillips were omitted
from the list of Republicans who will stump
the state for McGill, purely by mistake.
1t is understood that Major T. NJ. Newson
IS writing campaign sOng..for the Young
Mems Republican club to be sung by
luartette composed of Henry Johns. S. A.
Phillips, III. L. Williams and NJ. P. Hatch.
The chorus will be Hick-a-dori, Hick- a-du,
and there will be thirty seven stanZas-one
Tor each member of the club. 1t will be
set to music by Judge Schoonmaker.

The rumor that Baz Armstrong had APP
olied for membership in the Young Mems
Republican club is not generally credited.
