is the hero of the hour at Banff, North
western territory. having accomplished
the feat of killing grizzly bear with
revolver near the hot springs, in that
section. According to the accounts fur
nished, Toomey, who is we'll known to
fame as the champion boy skater, was
taking bath when Bruin ventured to
scrape an acquaintance with him.
Luckily his clothes, containing a
revolver, were conveniently 10
Gated, and at the first attempt
he sent bullet crashing through the
bears brain, killing him instantly. The
affair was witnessed by party of hunt
ers who were in the vicinity, but were
out of range of the bear and the plucky
young American. When he exhibited
his weapon the men were naturally
astoniShed, and wanted to know why
he did not run when he had an oppor-
tunity. THE bear wouldn't give me
chance, and had to shoot him in self
defense" was the characteristic reply.

No steps have been taken to secure a
successor to DR.. II. G. Mabie, who re-
Gently resigned the pastorate OF the
First Baptist church. ''The committee
has been completed" said j. w. Ran
dali, "but they have not decided upon
anything yet. They will for the pres
ent look out for the temporary needs OF
the church, and in about two months
may secure a minister to fill the pulpit
They will then report to the congrega-
ton, who will extend an invitation to
the gentleman, and if suitable the ma
iority will recommend call to him."
George 4. Du Toit, of Chaska, a
well-known Democratic politician, is at
the Ryan. Mr.. Du Toit is one of the
little men in politics whose native
shrewdness and affable manners make
him power. He is always for har-
mony. He and w. c. Bredenhagen, of
Carver, another gentleman of rather
small stature, make big team in Car
yer county, and upon them largely de-
pends the policy of that county. Mr..
Du Toit will not say how Carver
will stand on Scheffer.

erty Hall, of the Kansas City Record,
the erstwhile editor of the Glencoe Reg

publican politics in the Third district.

an easy victory of 1t in the Third dis
trict; also that Missouri will go Repub-
lican this year. Senator Peck declares
that there is only one man in the Scott
county delegation who will vote for
Scheffer. Mr.. Peck will probably be a
candidate for district judge this fall.
w. F. Cross-Politics are getting
very hot. and serious charges are made
against some of the leaders, but think
that it would be impossible to prove
them. No doubt that will die away
and be forgotten as soon as the election
is over. 1t is pleasanter to run state
fair than political campaign,
and there is a great deal more
for Cleveland, o., in the interest
of the state fair and shall secure some
fast horses to come here and compete
for the various purses. These purses
are large and will draw some of the best
horses on the turf. / cannot fell just
how long will be away, but will tarry
long enough to get some good ones.
Everything at the fair grounds is going
along smoothly and the indications are
in favor of large attendance.

Senator G.. K. Davis has returned
home from Washington, called here on
account of the illness of his mother.
He looks much improved in health, and
his voice and eyesight, which, it was
thought, would fail him in the hour of
need, are in perfect condition.
Mr.. Davis declined to be inter
viewed on any subject. There are
not many Minnesotians down at Wash
ington now, he says, as this is not the
right season of the year for them tc
. visit the national capital. MIR. Davis
says his mother is improving. His
father, II. NJ. Davis, is still strong and
vigorous. The senator Will remain here
for a week.
S. S. Eaton-"What muss they have
got into here in st. Paul in politics
Doran evidently relies upon his being
temporary chairman. Then you viii
see the lOng-headed old fox will appoint
the committee on credentials to suit
himself. This committee after being
out long enough, will come in, and will

throwing out the other fellows. Tha
won't work, though. The only course
for Kelly and Doran to have pursued
was to have gone to the polls and beateI
their opponents. 1t would have been
hard thing to do. The boys rather Sc
it up for the bosses little higher thai
