ator SIMPSONS sentiments as expressed
III the interview in an evening paper.
:" Ii the senator actually said what he
IS reported to have said," protested Mr..
Chase, he is not treating his con-
stituents squarely. The men who are
the incorpbrators of this railway we're
elected at a mass meeting of citizens,
and are really representatives of the
business men of Crookston, to whom
this bill is of great Importance. Senator
Sampson does not own any land
nearer than fifteen miles from the city,
and the only taxes he pays are as
one of the members of the Crookston
improvement company. So far from
having paid $1,000 taxes, he has not
personally paid $3.50, and the Improve
ment company have not as body paid
more than a quarter of $1,000. The
CrookStOn people have sent an average
of one delegation week, at an expense
of at least $1,000, to get this bill through,
and last week the senator agreed to sup
port it. Messrs. Anglum, Montague,
Walsh and others will he down to-mor-
row, and are very indignant against
their senator. He has not acted nicely
about this matter, but his allegations of
threats by White Caps are all rot"

r. S. Munger. Jas. G. Hunter, W. NJ.
Roberts, w. u. Hodson and Otto c.
Hartman, of Duluth, all affixed their
signatures to the collection of auto
graphs kept by Col. McClasky. yester-
day morning. Mir. Munger said they
were watching the progress of the Knife
Falls boom bill and other matters of
vital interest to Duluth. When Duluth
they want something they do some tall
hustling to get it, This accounts for
the frequency with which the names of
the most prominent citizens of that ell
terprising town appear on the hotel
registers.

Ike Lederer was sitting in the Ryan
yesterday afternoon, when q man came
in, glanced over the register, and went
out. watch that man." said Ike. HE
never spent cent in the house, but
comes in with great rush in an appar-
emily chronic state of bewildered Curl
osity. He takes all undecided turn or
two up and down, chances at the regis
ter. asks for some paper and writing
materials, and conducts all his CORE
sp0ndence from the Ryan hotel. He is
only one of a large class of 'bummers'
who infeSt all large hotels. You know
that barefOoted man? He walks up to
the bar, asks for glass of water, says
little prayer, drinks it, and goes out.
THESE men are great nuisance to the
hotel clerks.''
81 want to tell you about a curious
coincidence" said John Ford, clerk at
the Merchants. You see thatnam with
the curious signature. J. W. Campbell,
on the register? met that man in Chi
cago nearly twenty years ago. We eX-
changed cards, and l was so struck with
the remarkable caligraphy that kept
the card-see? It's pretty dirty and
worn through. being in my pocketbook
so long, but the signature is there. [
never met the man again till came
down this morning and, glancing over
the register, saw the identical handwrit-
ing. was never so surprised in my
life.'

They had heaps of fun over at the
Ryan the other evening. A cockroach
four inches long scuttled across the
floor as fast as he could. with crowd of
grinning colored boys after him. Every
body became excited at the sight of
such an antediluvian monster. At last
they cornered him, and one of the bell
boys was detailed to execute him. He
dared not touch HIM, and if he had
stepped on him he would have made
too much mess. At last brush and
tray were brought into requisition, and
at last accounts he was drowning in
cuspidore.
