the city. has resigned the managing
editorship of the score card, and will
soon start on a trlumphal tour through
the Northwest, as advance guard of the
brilliant coterie of professors OF the
manly art of self defense, that
OH exhibition. The colonel means
to get good start. so that he will be
safe in case the ebullitionS of his active
Imagination should happen to disturb
the eQuanimity of the gentlemen whose

local press as he speeds from town to
town.
The public inclines to the opinion that
the Pioneer Press showed actual bias,
if not thorough-going malice. in con-
Meeting Charlie Johnson with the tooth
less James column of the Tribune. Col.
Johnson has done nothing to merit
such a setback to his rising career as
reporter.
Milton Pickett is back from his vaca-
tion and is at work again sizing up and
dsSecting the fOibleS of the community
with surgical accuracy. His time off
this year enabled him to realize pet
ambition that has held prominent
place in his affection for many years.
He visited Boston. He rummaged the
great libraries in search of books that
no one else will read. He saw Cam
bridge and walked majestically under
its elms, and he trod reverently
the Harvard college campus, whose
traditions and history he probably
knows better than many of the persons
who graduated there. He came back

ing the best-dressed newspaper man in
the city. Barnes Sunday costumes are
poem, surpassed only IN symmetry Of
form by few of the gems of the great
masters. He consented yesterday to
spend thirty minutes with the saenger-
fest picnic, and honored the occasion
with turnout that would have done
credit to Worth. Description is impos-

People must see small bills for further
particulars or the costume itself.
Otis l.. Colburn. whose fame as a fire
editor and interviewer preceded the
honors he reaped as business manager
of the Pence opera house, has written
play entitled ''Col. Snort, of Dakota"
which will deal with politics, booms,
statehood, congress and other interest
ing subjects. The scenes are laid in
Dakota and New York city. The hero
is the first congressman from South Da-
kota, and something of a corker as
statesman. One of the scenes reveals
the inside of newspaper Office. Sol
Smith Russell is reading the piece, and
will likely have some valuable Sugges-
tionS to offer the author.
