sneS0tas n0rticulturIStS were, very well
pleased with the law as it now stands,
and will stand no tampering with it. A
remark in the paper of gentleman
formerly of the society, who was now
behiQd prison bars in California be-
canse it had no such law. called up
some spicy remarks, and it was agreed
The motion was carried to make it the
sense of the horticultural society that
they wished the law to be retained, and
that the legislative committee be in
structed to see that it was left as it was.
There seemed to be some fear that it
would be tempered with by the legis-
lature this winter.
Prof. w. Ii. Raglan gave a talk on
billiards., cyclones and tOrnadoes, and
their relation to forestry. He com
menced by remarking: Il have an AK
to grind. Since you have the gateway
through which these billiards shall
pass, lam going to tell you how you can
close the gateway" By the use OF
charts he illustrated the blizzard OF

The Immortal P. G.
There is among police officers in the
Flour City growing feeling, partially
justified by facts, that the power of the
police commission and the system of
secret investigations of charges pre-
ferred by citizens are being turned to
means of revenge and the working out
OF petty spites by people who i'm
agine they have been wronged by an
officer and by people who feel sore over
really justifiable arrest. This feeling
on the part of the officers, and the dis
organization necessarily attenda mt on
the practical absence of any real definite
head to the department, has done much
toward making the police system an ILL
disciplined, brOken-up and ineffective
force, which has SO signally failed in
protecting the property Of taXpaying
citizens.
The new city council is having hard
time redeeming those pledges.
If the police commission is resolved
upon removing all the relatives of Com
missioner Hoy, good many vacancies
will be created in the force.
As the stock of popular resort sa-
looms in Minneapolis is about as large
as the demand, there is considerable
speculation as to the future occupation
of the recently removed or resigned po-
lice officials.
"What do you know tonight. old
man?" asked a reporter Of former
standby. ''Nothing, nothing at all, sir.
1t will not do for policemen to know
anything any more. If they do, the COM
mission will fire Them"
