STREET SAYINGS.

w. Il. Turnbull and Frank Smith, two
old-time dining-car conductors on the
Northern Pacific road, arrived from the
West yesterday on their last trip OH this
end of the road. Hereafter they will run
on the west end, between Riverside and
Lynn. They have both catered to the ap-
petites of the travelling public through the
Northwest until their faces have become as
familiar as near relatives. Tunbull years
ago was a frst-class base ball player, and
always found employment during the sum-
mer months as back-stop, but he quit the
business TO become a millionaire. Frank
Smith was travelling man for several
years. but the life proved too giddy for one
of his staid and quiet disposition, and he
turned his attention TO the production of
tender beefstealls and hard boiled eggs.
They will probably remove their families
from ST. Paul to Portland.

terday when Gus Benson fell TO the ice be-
low. When the doctor came he told him to
have Benson taken to the best hospital i'm
the city and spare no expense TO make him
comfortable and he would see that the cost
was paid. This act on the part of Mr..
Morse excited high degree of respect for
MN among Tie Wofknen.

1T looks as though Traylor was nailed
for sure this time" said citizen Yesterday
after he had heard of TraylOr's arrest, ''if
it doesn't have the effect of sending him be-
yond the limits of the cityit will look very
much as though he stood in with certain
people who are shielding him with their in
iuence. What seems strange is that the
hotels will permit him to hang around their
rotundas and feed on their guests. He is
the neryiest man in the busi-
ness" When TraylOr was taken
to the patrol wagon, he asked
Officer Rose if he should ride on the seat
with the driver or sit in the body. The
officer told him to sit i'm the body. Tray
Tor. Jumping in, sat down, pulled a news
paper out of his pocket, and cOolly proceed
ed to read it as they drove through the
streets. There is handsome woman living
on East Seventh street, who has been an ac-
complice in his little game of confidence.
She is blonde. dresses elegantly. and has
but little the appearance of a woman who
would find the cOmpanionship of mar. of
Traylor's ilk congenial.

Mr.. HartShOrn is the author of Wages,
Living and Tariff, published short time
ago. and is writer of considerable repute.
His forte lies in poetry and he has embod-
led the incidents of his trip through the
South and West in rhyme, which he pro-
poses to publish. The composition savors
Of humOr and common sense.
There's one thing in the world Of which
City Attorney Murray has a holy horror.
and that is the telephone. He won't allow
one to be placed in his office, and when he
has occasion to use one he calls on the
building inspectorssclerk or Bazie Arm
strong to manipulate it for him. He SAYS
when he undertakes TO talk through the
machine he wants to gesticulate. and before
he knows it he drops the phone and is
pounding the wall to emphasize his re-
marks.

applications for appointment to the
police force are numerous, T" said Mayor Rice
yesterday, land they are all good men.
There have been six to-day. The impress
sion seems to be that the police force is to
be increased at once. 1t will not be en-
larged, however. until July |. If Sam
Jones could receive i'm proportion as many
applicants for salvation as / receive for po-
lice appointment, the world would soon be
