be necessary, will be allowed for the

barracks, containing accommodations
for four companies"

d. W. MISUNDERSTANDING up the
stable of the late Commodore kittson
and scattering the horses cannot fail to
have.some unfavorable effect upon the
breeding problem in Minnesota. To
maintain such stable required great
deal of money, and few men have the
capital, together with the disposition
and taste, requisite for such an extern
sive establishment. The closing of.thlS
stable at the present time will not, how
ever, be as unfavorable to the breeding
interests of Minnesota as it would have
been several years ago. Then it would
have been almost disastrous. Now,
however, there are breeding establish
ments such as De CRAFTS, DR.. Evans,
Capt. Marrett's, George W. Sherwood's,
and w. l.. McGrath'S. These gentle
mems stables are among the leading
Dnes, and all, by purchase or otherwise,
have become the owners of good
many stations and mares that are just
as well and as fashionably bred as are
any animals in Kentucky or California,
The breeding of the American trotter is
therefore so well established in the
state, and so much money is invested i'll
the business, that it will probably be
continued on agood solid basis here.

An irate citizen, who had evidently
been sufferer, said yesterday: "It
does beat me how strangers in this city
ever find their destination, especially
after dark. To begin with there is not
pne street lamp in ten outside the busi-
hess section of the city that has the
name of the street upon it. Street car
Arivers know no more about the streets
Rlong their routes than dog does about
Latin. Particularly are these facts true
lin West st. Paul, and unless man
arms himself with guide book and
Compass when he starts out to seek
tertain residence, he is apt to bring up
ht Mendoza. There is way to obviate

have the names of streets placed on all
the lamps and the street car companies
should instruct their drivers in the
nomenclature of the same.

"Energy and push cannot fail to sue
beed in this part of the county," said a
prominent business man yesterday aft
ernoon," and there goes one OF the best
illustrations that / can think Of at pres
ent." He pointed to the retreating
form of J. j. Parker, who was hurrying
down Robert street to complete the
girdle around the Twin Cities by OBJ
taining the name of the sole capitalist,
whom he had hitherto failed to enroll
On his insurance books. THAT young
man came out here twelve or fifteen
years ago, and it may be truthfully said
that he began at the lowest round of the
ladder, but he had the right stuff in him
and the top was soon reached. All
shat he had to do was to converse with
q business man a short time and he
cemented lifelong friendship and es-
tablished reputation for integrity that
many millionaireS might well emulate.
Two of the handsomest buildings in the
world. one at st. Paul and the other at
Minneapolis, will be monuments to
the zeal and fidelity of j. j. Parker and
his associate, Mr.. Gregory, not only in
The interest of the New York Life In
Buranee company, but of the people
among whom both of them saw proper
10 cast their lot.

Officer Andy Call had an encounter
with a wire fence the other night, and
Ehe latter took a fall out of the big
policeman. The officer was chasing a
han on Sixth street, when the pursued
lodged into dark alley between Rob-
ert and Jackson streets. A fence had
been built there a few days before,
fact that the man whom the officer was
chasing was cogniZant of. He accord
lngly jumped over the fence, but big
andy ran into the obstruction with
considerable force. 1t was like throw
Ing a ball against wall. There was a
murmur, thud and few eXpletives.
Then the officer picked himself up and
walked away.
k!Deputy State Treasurer Jansen
The position occupied by Mr.. Scheffer
ht present. is strange one and difficult
30 understand. This idea of receiving a
Nomination at the hands of your oppo-
pents may work successfully in local
matters, but in state and national poll
tics it doesn't always insure an cleo
zion. Mr.. Seheffer should take warning
From the fate of the late Horace Greeley.

State Auditor Braden-I was very
much pleased with the address of Mr..
Horr Friday evening. He is an easy,
logical speaker and INDUCES in none of
the clap-trap so common to political
speakers. Neither is he denunciatory
Dr. vile in language, but is mild and re-
Bpectful in his treatment of his oppo-
pents.
A game Of base ball was played yes
terday afternoon between the Capitol
hnd City Hall clubs. The last account
received was at o'clock, when the
game was still progressing, the third
Inning having just been concluded. In
the last half Of the first inning Deputy
Insurance Commissioner Todd carried
AWAY the starboard side of his suspend
ers and had to retire for repairs. In the
second ''Stan" Donnelly made crack
ing drive for four bases, and after COM
pleting the circuit of the bases, was in
formed that the hit was foul. ''Stan"
then struck out. Will Angel, in at
tempting to stopa slow grounder with
bis feet. succeeded in paralyzing a soft
corn. The batter took his base. These
were the only casualties reported I'D to
