will vote this year under the Dawes sew
crafty bill. Nearly all the White Earth
Indians have had their lands allotted IN
severalty, and the bill provides that
they shall vote. Then again, there are
quite number of Indians who live out
side their reservations and have adopted
the habits of the whites, and they will
vote also. BY the time the next presl-
Dental election comes around there Will
be 5000 Indian votes in this state and
between 1000 and 5000 in Wisconsin.
The Indian vote this year will control
Becker, Carleton and Kanabec cOun-
ties. Up at ClOquet last spring. to Sc
cure the Indian vote, the citizens ticket
had an Indian candidate upon it."

Sunday will be little COOLER" was
the remark yesterday of Observer 2. f.
Lyons, of the United States signal sta
ton. "The rainfall for the past week
throughout the state has been sufficient
to moisten the earth. There have been
no excessive rains at any points, and
the earth can stand this sort of weather
for some weeks"
.sThe elevated railroad is killed, at all
events for this year." was the opinion
expressed yesterday by William Daw-
son, of the Minnesota bank. Its
great mistake, too, for line connecting
the cities in such a manner would
necessarily tend largely to develop the
whole of the Northwest. Consider the
great saving of time and money to trav-
elerSI In either city there would be
depots every two blocks, and the fare
would not have been more than 10 or 10
cents at the outside. There would be
none of those tedious delays which are
SO frequent upon the railroad, and this
would be particularly so in winter. Ii
property holders really considered their
own interest as well as that of the
public in general, there would be no OPP
position to the erection of the road"

you did not know William Shelley"
was the remark of Lieut.. Gov. Rice
yesterday evening. ''He was sad 'un.
One of those individuals with we'll
developed corporation, ever ready to
take a glass. On one occasion friend
of his was enjoying something with an
old settler and Shelley was standing
by expecting the invitation which did
not come. The friend afterwards apollo
gize for not introducing him to the old
settler. AN old settler retOrted
Shelley in disgust, yes, he is an old
settler. He's failed several times and
settled at 25 cents to the dollar"

r. c. Judson has recently returned
from Rochester, where he says the
people of Southern Minnesota are max
ing extensive arrangements for their
fair. They do not hesitate to say that
1t will far surpass all previous exhibits
of the same character. The display of
horses and cattle will be especially fine.
MIR. Van Campen is proving to be one of
the most energetic secretaries the fair
has ever had. Mr.. Dunnell is endeavor-
ing to induce Hon. James O.. Blaine to
be present and deliver an address to the
people of the southern part of the state.

n. l.. McGrath-There will be a very
sSely struggle at the colt stake races
here next fall. We have some well bred
youngsters, especially the -year-olds,
which are as good as can be found any
where in the country. DR.. Evans, of
Minneapolis, Mr.. Sherwood and Mr..
Marrett, of st. Paul, have Wilkes colts.
1 do not know so much about DR.. Evans
stock as / do about the colts belonging to
Messrs. Marrett and Sherwood. The
latter gentlemen own good ones, and |
have no doubt DR.. Evans colt is likely
to give everybody in the race trouble.

A well-known sporting man, who had
witnessed the series Of ball games be-
tween the st. PaulS and Milwaukees,
said yesterday: What an umpire
needs most, if he would be successful in
his business, is backbone. He should
give his decisions quickly and to the
best of his judgment-the slightest heSi-
tation will be noticed by the players
and always be taken as an evidence of
weakness. A decision once made
should never be reversed except in
cases where it is palpably wrong.
Nosone is aware of the terrible strain
the umpire undergoeS during an excit-
Ing ball contest, where the decisions he
is called upon to make require judy
ment. The audience, therefore, should
rather condone his mistakes, for mis-
takes will be made by the best of them"

W. f. CroSs-San Gabriel, the colt by
Sultan, belonging to Mr.. Merriam, is
showing up in great form. He is not
being driven for speed, but is worked
rather slowly. Occasionally he is given
quarter at good sharp gait. He
moves easily and always appears ready
to go, giving every one who sees him
the impression that there is more speed
in reserve if it is demanded.
