Gov. Merriam has another Small-sized
sorrow on his hands. He doesn't know
what to do with Grain Inspector Hodg-
son. Capt. James was solicited by
friends of the governor to discharge
HodgsOn, bnt he declined to do so. The
matter is now in the hands OF the
governor. 1t seems that he is
afraid of the Farmers alliance,
and that Mr.. HOdgSon is an active mem
Der of that body. To discharge him
means to exclude from the councils of
state the only real representative the
alliance has there. The governor hes
itates, MIR. Hodgson is not worried, and

HE HAD HIS MOXIE.

The lot of a private secretary is not
altogether bed of roses, and that of r..
c. Elliot, of the state executive depart
ment, is no exception to the rule. His
piece of mind is tormented by the friv-
OlOuS and hundred and one absurd
queries put to MIN by visitors to the
capitol. Here is one. An Individual
dropped into the executive department
and inquired of the secretary if Gov.
Merriam was in. He was informed that
his eXcellency was at Duluth, and there
upon followed this colloquY:
"When will he be back?'
"Some time this week."
"What day?''
81 cannot say"
"He's certain to come this week?"
"YeS."
"But you don't know when?"
mo; bit is there anything l can do
for you in the governors absence?"
1'Why! yes can you lend me $5?''
Dir. Elliott was naturally taken back
by the cool manner in which the request
was made, but recovered himself Suffi-
GENTLY TO say he was not accustomed to
lend money to people with whom he
was unacquainted. 'You can soon be
acquainted with me-" was the fellows
prompt response, but the secretary
could not see it that way. The ac-
quaintance was not desirable one, es-
peciaIly in face of the modest loan re-
Quested from his purse; and without
further ado the visitor was bowed to
the door.

A CAPITOL SIEGE.

There was quite panic among the
capitol officials yesterday morning.
Janitor Rose had discovered 2X4
snake on the surrounding grass plot.
He sounded an alarm, and instantly
sedate judges and matter-of-fact finan-
ciers, with their subordinateS, inn
proviSed barbados to prevent the COM
mon enemy of man entering the sacred
precincts of the state house. The eX-
element was at its height when
Col. BObleter, grit with nickel
steel plate armor, Informed his
terrified companions that lots must be
cast and some one selected to either kill
the snake and raise the siege or die i'll
the attempt. Owen Davis, the colored
ja9itor, drew the unIucky lot: While
Adjt. Gen. Mullen was explaining to
Dblique movement Of a double column
for strategistic purposes, as means of
safety it was deemed desirable to re-
move the lady officials into the capitol
dome. Armed with one of the capitol
doors, Davis reluctantly turned his face
towards the unconscious snake.
~
He stealthily drew near the SER
pent, and, as Deputy Auditor Griswold
afterwards remarked, his black, honest
face turned kind of lurld white"
White or black, the expression on the
face was something to see and remem-
Der. 1t was not exactly fear; it was
something worse than that-a some
thing which makes man feel inclined
to fall through his own pants and Sc
eurely fasten himself upon his shoes.
The snake twigged Davis, or at least
Davis thought SO, for he gave whooD.
took a flying jump into the air, and
with the broad, huge door came flop on
to 1t. Davis stood on the door, and,
like Ajax defying the lightning,
turned to the officials crowding the
capitol steps. With departed danger,
the hitherto terrorized officials found
gathering strength about their knees
and rushed to the scene. Carefully the
door was lifted and six pairs of eyes
peered underneath. Corporal Iverson
had the temerity to take the snake by
Its tail. Gracious heavens! 1t was
made of rubberl!

an action caused by alleged negligence

Judgment in the case, Charles j. Groom

It's simply ridiculous for
us to sell Clothing like this

on each sale in order to
tempt you to buy during

Is our 9th Semi-Annual

Inasmuch as it is rapidly
closing out our Summer
stock, our Red Figure Sale
is certainly an immense
success.
But we don't make
any money during our Red
Figure Sale. Why?
Because during this Red
Figure Sale we are selling
our goods at just what they
cost us or less.
But we are well satisfied

A REGULAR SCREAMER
The Coming State Fair Will
Be the Greatest Ever
Held.
Ten Thousand Live and Act
i've Citizens Working for
It's Success.
Prospective View Of Unique
Features to Please All
Palates.
British Scoundrelism De-
nouneed by the Celtic
American Club.

President Bushnell has got the bust
ness of the coming state fair so much in
hand that it is known now that the
event will be the greatest of its kind
ever held. He has displayed the origi-
nal side of his energetic character by
adding to the fair programme, features
never thought of before. The best of
these features are the state national
guard competitive drill. for which the
railroads are expected to make cent
per-mile rate; the extensive exhibit of
ore jewels from the Vermillion ranges
of Minnesota; probable base ball
matches between Eastern league teams;
an acrobatic and equestrian circus in
full blast; series of brilliant
running races, and last. but not least,
diversified programme, which in its
scope embraces the interests of the
humblest farmer and the, wealthiest
merchant of the state. Preparations
are already under way Tor. changing the
entire decorative style of the great
hall by which new system, beautiful
in every respect. is to be introduced.
Supt. Cross is pushing the work upon
the grounds and buildings, while Sec
rotary Denny is carrying on a CORE
spondence that would appall an ordi-
nary man. The letters received every
day relating to the fair cover the entire
scope of the Northwest, and indicate a
deep and widespread interest in its OPP
erations. Applications for space by
exhibitors are coming i'll so fast and
thick that those not already in must
hasten if they desire good location.
These applications must be forward ed
to Secretary Denny at Hamline, or to
the following division superintendent:
Horses-Clarke Chambers, Owatonna.
Cattle-William M. Liggett, Benson.
Sheep and Swine-L. II. Prosser, WykoH.
Dairy Products-S. M. Emery, Lake City.
Manufactured Articles (main building)-F.

Art Gallery-R c. Munger, St. Paul.
Horticulture, Vegetables, Honey and Apl-
arian Supplies-Wyman Elliott, Minneapolis.
Grain and Farm Products-0. c. Gregg,

Farming Implements and Carriages-M. P.
Gilbert, ST. Paul.
Poultry-W. A. Gates, ST. Paul.
Manufacturing Departmental. f. Staples,
West st Paul
Superintendent of Privileges-John F..
Norrish, Hastings.
superintendent of Motive Power-William
Rodger, st. Paul.
President Bushnell had glorious re-
eeption at the First regiment reception
at Lakeview, and met sufficient farmers
to ascertain that they are all working
in the interests of the fair. A peculiar
and new feature of the fair will be that
its operations are made for the entire
people of Minnesota Every energy is
being bent by the management to reach
the farthermost limits of the state, and
bring in the farming communities
justly entitled to fair consideration.
Every vital industry of the state that
can be brought within the scope of the
fair will be represented. The CORE
spondence list of the association al
ready covers 10000 live. active citizens,
and is daily increasing.

the Test Is Postponed.
Col. Davidson's prediction as to the
Prosser motor came very near to the alb
solute truth yesterday morning. At 5
o'clock, before the cable or street cars
had gone out, the motor was ''fired up"
and run out of the East Seventh street
yards on to the main cable line. The
run down into the heart of the city was
made without difficulty and the return
trip started. AT this juneture the blow
ing off of one of the cylinder caps
crippled operations slightly, but the
motor was got into the yards again
without much difficulty. The test was
not complete enough to demonstrate all
OF the claims of the inventor, but yet
sufficiently satisfactory to give them a
strong coloring of probability. Other
tests and trials are yet TO be made,
which are expected to satisfy the most
eXacting.
