WALKS \ TALKS.

Hon. T. E. Bowen, the Sleepy Eye states
man, was IN the city yesterday. He limited
that his contemplated Duluth newspaper
venture had been dropped, and that he
would continue to publish the Sleepy Eye
Herald. The suit entered against him by I.
Y. Collins, the st. Peter editor, who claims
s., 900 damages for the assault upon him by
Nh. Bowen. will come up before the courts
this fall. Mr.. Bowen says he CANNOT deny
the assault and he willingly went before the
ST. Peter municipal authorities and paid a
fine for committing il. He will. nevertheless,
vigorously fight the claim for damages.
Gov. Hoard successfully prevented the
Conley-Cardiff fight from taking place in
Wisconsin, and now Conley proposes that
the mill be transferred TO Minnesota. He,
however, will find an unpenetTabie bar
rier in a law passed By the late legislature
which provides a term Of ninety days i'm
pris0nment for participants IN prize lights
with g similar penalty for any person who
wagers money on the result. That is the law
upon paper. Cardiff and Conley might vent
ure into the state. just 10 determine whether
1t. as well as other Jews passed by the late
august body of Legislators. was put through
the legislature for mere buncombe and not
for the country's veal.
Under the charge of C.. A. Bennett, the
manual training school Of the city is making
for itself q name. The exhibits from this

the high merit Of the work performed by its
pupils. The school is rapidly gaining ground
among the thoughtful parents OF the city;
It's object is not merely TO develop the mind
of the student. but, also. 10 increase the cum
ming of his hand. Manual training schools
are an institution in Germany; they are rap
idly c~Oyecng England and are fast being
adopted in this country. No nation desiring
that its people shall maintain their foothOld
among the people Of the earth can afford to
be lax inaffOrding the best possible means
for the education Of the young.
There is a great deal Of talk about English
capitalists swallowing up the cOllierieS, the
iron works and the breweries Of this country.
With so much loose cash at his disposal, the
EngIishman might swoop down into
Ct. Paul and buy I'D that diamond mine
as Nj. Lindeke is pleased to term the fran
chise Of the city railway company. Mr..
Lowry says he is willing TO sell, and yet.
while our own citizens are clamoring for
franchises, they perversely ignore this veri-
table diamond mine offered them.
The laboratory of the state dairy commits
sion is among the best appointed labOra-
tories in this country. No expense has been
spared in %eguipping it with all the latest APP
proved analytical appliances, q large num-
Der having been secured from German man
ufactories. Chemist EbeTman is now pre-
pared to properly undertake all analysis re
quired from the department. under the food
Rdulteration law.
City school superintendent Gilbert has
been almost worried out of his skin the past
week. Parents have crowded his Office SUI
plicating, demanding and threatening. There
is q prevalent disposition among papas and
mammal that their offspring shall attend
what is considered the ''aristocratic schools"
The result is that the so-called aristocratic
schools are crowded, while the 'low
schools are almost deserted. This is among
the necessary evils of the public school sys-
tenn The promiscuous mixing of all grades
of ehildren-good, bad and indifferent-is
not the most desirable thing.
Hon. Theo Sander is a champion story
teller. Here is his latest: Yesterday after
noon Mr.. Sande was walking dowC Fourth
street. When near the German-American
bank he saw two feas perched on the curb
stone. A little dog tame running round the
corner, and, Mr.. Sander says, he heard one
flea say to the other: Lets jump on its
back"
