they soon settled their differences
amicably and now-let's have that
motor line between Anoka and Mime
apolis.
There was movement on foot last
week to have the members of the city
council entertain Mayor Babb at a ban
quet to be given this week. What has
become of 1t? The "spread" that was
called attention to has evidently been
carried away to the Mayors ice house
where it will keep for some time-but
the memory of the strike will undoubt-
eddy outlive its keeping.

DR.. A. A. Ames left the city Tuesday
evening for New York, where he will
sail for Europe on the 2Sth inst, to be
absent about four months. DR.. Ames
goes in quest of health, and will stop
for some time at the famous mineral
springs in Austria. A visit to London.
Paris, Berlin, and a trip through Nor
way and Sweden are among the posi-
billties during the period Of his absence.

A telegram received during the week
announces the fact that there is not the
slightest foundation for the widely
circulated report that Ireland is to be
visited this year by either the Queen or
the Prince Of Wales. This announce
ment will be of great relief to Ireland.
1t would be a matter for general re-
joicing by the Irish people if they had
declared their intention not to step on
Irish soil again.

Elk. Chief of Police A. G. Berry died
at his late home in North Minneapolis
last Monday of peritonltis, aged fifty
nine years. He was among the few
patrolmen of whom Minneapolis could
boast of Ill 1871, and was appointed to
such position at that time by Judge
Anes, who was then Mayor In 1888
he was appointed chief Of police, serv-
ing for about year, when he was sue
ceeded by John West-thereafter re-
retiriny from the service,

Labor Commissioner John Lamb has
made very efficient officer. Few men
are better adapted to that particular
position than the present commissioners
and it is to be hoped that Governor
Merriam will re appoint him. There
will also be three subordinate officers
appointed under the commissioner
For two of these positions we note the
names of M, j. Gill, Of this city, and E..
G. Ives, of St. Paul, as applicants, and
who would fill the bill in every respect.
There was no flies OH the man from
Wisconsin whatever there was in his
1000 pounds Of cheese which he sold to
a number of commission men here last
week. He got his price for it, Dairy
Commissioners Howard analysed and
seized the whole lot afterward, and the
commission men were left to mourn
the act Of the gentlemanly Badger"
who disposed of his load at a very
reasonable rate through pretense Of
being in hurry to catch a train. The
cheese could catch train now.

G. j. Buell. has offered $4,000 reward
to the editor Of the Tribune if he will
show where Henry George eyer used
the. sentence, Historically as officially
private property is robbery" The re-
ward was offered about a week ago, but
somehow it has passed the notice of the
gentleman for whom it was practically
meant. The Tribune is perhaps so
busily engaged just now in counting
and recounting the numerous libel
suits brought against it by Elder Stew
art, that it has no knowledge neither OF
Mr.. Buell. nor his reward.

The decision of the district court
