"Ihe ,graSShopperS are conquered at
Clitherall." wrote an enthusiastic and
Dverjoyed farmer of that portion of OF
ter Tail county to Gov. McGill yester-
: day. ''In places where the hoppers
were found last week by bushels we
can now scarcely find a single one alive
and doing damage to the crops. We
feel happy over our victory and trust
we've cleaned them out for good"

Carl Judson has Sust returned from

at Isinours, and his supply of yarns is
larger and more varied than ever. A
huge red bandana peeps out of his
pocket, and he shows other indications
of being a sterling Democrat.

stein herd of Col. Ellis" be said, land l

The sad news of the drowning of the
Fl. NJ. Ticker, the genial and efficient
night clerk of the Ryan, was the all-ab-
sorbing topic of conversation about the
lobby of the hotel last evening. Sin
cere regret was expressed OH all sides
other clerks We're particularly distressed
and spoke in the highest terms of their
dead comrade. Said one of them:
Quicker was good-natured fellow and
possessed of fund of humOr that was
well-nigh ineXhauStible. Story telling
was his forte, and he could keep a
crowd interested for hours at time.
He was mild tempered and affable to-
ward all. and no matter how pressing or
onerous his duties were Tuck was al
ways the same, pleasant and agreeable.
The management may get another man,
but they can never hope to fill his place.
There was only one Tucker"
Archie McLeod-I was out to the
races to-day. l considered them very
tame, with the exception of the pacing
race, which was quite exciting. If
those having the management of the
races desire to please the SpOTt-lOviug
people they should cut down that hill at
Che half-mile pole, where the horses are
Obscured from view for distance of
nearly quarter OF mile.
They are telling pretty good story
On Col. McClaSky, of the Ryan, who is a
the races each day he takes the pre-
caution to order a dozen nice sand
witches to digest between heats. Yes
terday he sent word into the cafe for
the usual order, and instructed the
waiter to put the sandwiches in the
office. When the bustling waiter came
back the colonel had disappeared, but
the clerk at the counter accepted the
offering, especially as they were ac-
rompanied ''with the compliments of
the cafe.'' 1t was not long ere all
af oh l,n1
peared, and when the colonel returned
few minutes later, prepared for his
Journey, half slice of buttered bread
was all that remained. He was delayed
somewhat, but was more explicit about
subsequent order.
j. l.. Lovering-I will tell you one
thing, and that is that you want to look
out for the Minnesota Transfer. The
people of this city have a pretty good
idea of business, but am satisfied, that
as able as they are, they have never
fully appreciated the great Importance
of this location in business point of
view. 1t has a much larger grasp on
the business of the Northwest than is
generally thought. Anyone that views
the improvements that have been made
there during the past year will see at
once that they have been arranged for a
business vastly in excess of that trans
acted year ago.
M
Supervising Inspector George Hays
was called away from his Office to attend
to some business at Saltwater yester-
day, and took the precaution to place a
card on his Office door to let inquiring
friends know his whereabouts. "Gone
to Saltwater" was the inscription in
black ink upon piece of official paper
Shortly after Capt. O'COnnor came
along, and, seeing the notice added to il
as follows: TOO bad; he used to be a
pretty good fellow"
Robert Miller-Mr Nash doesn't want
the Democratic nomination for congress
in the Fifth district. and he's only max
ing these speeches through the country
because he deems it his duty. How
ever, if he could be induced to take the
nomination he would certainly make 9
magnificent campaign.
