Touseys shoulders, is growing interesting.

and, de mOrtius, you know.
Big Elk Bachelor suggests. in the game Of
base ball to-day, the Minneapolis team import
the battery from Fort Smelling.
The Saturday night concerts at the armory
have not been financial bouanZas. They are
entirely enjoyable, but the public has not
caught on sufficiently.
David Blakely is rolling in European luxury
and creditors of the Philharmonic society are
lett to mourn. How can President S. C.. Gale
and Secretary G. Babcock, with long list of
able-boded directors, stand this sort of bust
ness.
In DR.. Staples of Winona the feminine gen.
der has true and steadfaSt friend-not only
a sunshine friend, but one who will stand by
them in rainy weather and adversely. He
! has given it out that the young ladies of
Minneapolis and St. Paul are the only proper
persons for physician wives, and if he had
his way, he would have a committee ap-
pointed from the ministers and a wife picked
; out for each unmarried doctor.
s'How glad I am that no wine is being
/ served" said a handsome young lady to an
other at the physicians banquet Friday even
ing, as she supped her glass OF ice water.

If DR.. Quiuby could only be found in his
Office occasionally, how nice it would be.

There were half-a-dozen members of the
council who were opposed to the anti-Sunaay-

Very few persons whose knowledge is con-
fined to newspaper reading have any ade-

worth trip to see. 1t is by far the largest
building in the state. and perhaps the largest,

Passenger agent Johns of the moter line
