little quivering mouth holding minute
blood drop protests against such treat

THREE SHORT TIPS.

Mayor Smith-More patrolmen are
badly needed. The recommendation be-
fore the council that twenty-five extra
policemen be employed until the close
of the state fair simply means waste
of money. The extra men will not have
time to learn their duties before their
term of duty will have expired. What
Is needed is a permanent increase.
Labor Commissioner Lamb-It is mar
Vicious that the people of this state
should have remained so long oblivious
of the boundleSs wealth there has laid
buried in Northern Minnesota. Maj.
Newson, understand, visited the iron
range twenty-seven years ago; but he
was seeking for gold. 1t is said the
genial major discovered signs of gold
upon every piece of projecting rock.

made upon him by Editor Pease, of the
Anoka Herald. They were college

Is Theodore Norelius dead? The
question may appear absurd. in face of
the fact that Mr.. Norelius was reported
drowned in Chisago lake Monday last,
but it is necessitated by the startling
rumors current throughout the eli ty yes
terday.
Early in the day no less aperson than
Gen. Brandt, a close friend of MI.
NoreIius, rushed, GREATNESS, into the
state treasurer's Office and Informed
Col. Bobleter that, to give his own
language, "Norelius has come
to-" His information was not
authentic. He had heard it
from another Scandinavian. Col.
Bobleter could not bring himself to be-
lieve the story; Gen. Brandt had HIM
self great doubts; but there the report
was current-that Mr. NoreIius' funeral
was postponed and in the interim he
had returned to life, to the astonish-
ment of sorrowing relatives and
friends. Both repaired to the office of
Public Examiner Kenyon, with whom
Mr.. Norelius was associated. Mr.. Ken
yon had not heard of the sensational
rumor. He had intended attend
ing the funeral of his late en-
ploye, which was to take place
at Vasa, Goodhue county, Wednesday;
but owing to the heavy rains on that
day it was found it impossible to make
the journey. Mr.. Kenyon, however.
stated that he had authoritatively
heard that the interment of Mr.. More
Illus was postponed until Thursday, and
that the reason was-a younger and ia
vorite brother of the deceased could not
bring himself to believe that he was
dead. The body was, therefore, kept
another day to thoroughly establish the
fact.
Yes; Mr.. Norelius is unfortunately
dead, and the report of his resurrection
may be traced to the brothers request
for a postponement Of the funeral.

A member of the city detective force
was in a talkative mood yesterday:
t'YOu see those youngsters getting on
the cable there, with their arms full of
water lilies. Well, those little lads keep
their mother and two sisters by the
trade they have worked up in lilies.
The old man is a chronic bum and
drunkard; he's id the Workhouse now
doing sixty nays, and that's the best
place for him. The two boys get up
every morning early and go out after
lilies, and by 10 o'clock they are up on
st. Anthony hill, selling them to the
big wigs for cents each. They have
but very little trouble in selling four
or five dozen lilies per day, and as they
don't keep fresh very long the market
is good The people have got to know
them and they have about twent regu-
lar customers"

COL. DAVIDSON'S DILEMMA.
How a Little Note PrecIpitated
Big Assignment.

Big assignment.
An assignment was made yesterday
by Col. j. Ham Davidson in favor of
Joseph Jockey, cashier of the National
German-Am erican bank. The liabili
ties are placed on liberal estimate at
$4,000. with actual assets of S135, 900.
The assignment was made on account
OF note of $4,000, which fell due June
25, to the First National Bank of Chi
cago. The estimate Of assets takes no
cogniZance of stock to the extent of S75,-
900 in the Prosser motor scheme, which
Col. Davidson has been trying hard to
perfect the past two years. The partial
failure of the ProSSer motor at the
recent trial in st. Paul was hard blow
to Col. Davidson, as the city railway
company was prepared to purchase the
franchise, Mr.. Lowry having subscribed
$1,000 towards the cost of making the
test.
But, even with this failure, there
would have been no occasion for the as
signment had there been any reason

sixty days has been very dull in the
realty business, and Col. Davidson was
unable to sell even as valuable business.
property as the frontage on the. east
side of Broadway, from Fifth to Sixth
street, which, with other real estate, he
turns over to the assignee. The entire
imcumbrance on real estate which goes
to the assignee is somewhere from
$4,000 to $4,000, and the real
estate is fairly worth some
where from S125,0OO to S150,000. The I'M

of Col. Davidson, outside of that Sc

which is secured by collaterals, ssome-
where near $4,000. Outside of this
Col. Davidson is indorser on paper of
the Palmyra Manufacturing company,
and other corporations and individuals,
to about $4,000, some of which he will
not be called upon to pay; but, at the
limit, his total possible liabilities VIII
not exceed S105,000. AS stated, he
owned stock IN the Palmyra Manufact-
uring company to the amount of 1000
or 5000 shares, which, at its par value,
would have been worth 100000 or $780,
900. In the present condition of devel-
opment, it is not known whether this
stock will be of any value or not. The
company owns all of the patents, and
some of them are thought to be valua-
