Rumor says that Mr.. F. E. Wilson,
formerly of this city, now in Spokane
Falls, WASH, is about to loose his posi-
ton as head waiter at the Grand Hotel.
We find the rumor is groundless, as he
is we'll and doing we'll. While in our
city, Mr.. Wilson made many friends
who could not believe the reports con-
corning him.
The benefit rendered Rey. c. H.
Thomas last Thursday evening at his
church, was grand success. The tai
ent which assisted in Prof. Lucas bene-
fit took part. A very enjoyable program
was rendered, as only the combined
talent of St. Paul, land Minneapolis, can
render. Those who participated in the
program were Mesdames: Clay, B. H.
Wilson. s. Anderson. Katie Smith, and
Prof. Luca, in quartette, which en-
Unused every one. The second select
ion was solo, and chorus by Mrs. K,
Smith. G.. Anderson, F. Johnson and
N. Nichols, all are home talent, and
they were we'll appreciated by home
audience. Miss Cora Napier then rend-
e1ed recitation, which was creditable.
Miss Napier is young and if she follows
her course of study longer, she will
certainly give credit to our Minneapolis
society. For want of space we can
only touch on the main features of the
evening. Prof. Lucas solo was good.
The encore to Mesdames. Clay and
Wilson's duet testified to it value. The
st. Paul Quartette sang sweetly.
Double Trouble.
Mr.. Thomas Talliafarro died at his
residence in Englewood last Friday of
consumption. His remains were laid
out to await the burial rites, when fire
broke out in an adjacent feed store, and
spread to the little cottage where the
dead man lay surrounded by female
mourners. The women were excited
but retained presence of mind enough
to remove the corpse from the building
to other quarters. The house was con-
sumed. The deceased was SO years OF
age aud had been married about ten
years and leaves widow and two chill
dren to mourn the loss Of father, and
home at one fell swoop. The widow
and children accompanied the remains
to Washington, D. G., where they will
be inferred. The property was fully in
sured.

good for what he wants as any man in
