three defeats in DeS MoineS has placed
several chunks of ice Oh the spinal

post-mortem to be held on the team
when once more it returns to its native
heath. OF course, should the team once

taste displayed in the furnishings
shows plainly from whom the young
gentleman expects his most numerous
cases.

The dime-in-the-slot opera glasses at
the Harris theater have been doing a

Some of the young men claim that they
were needed to see what supported the

The storm that was promised by the
special dispatches TO the evening
papers did not materialize, and Saturn
looked down and Winked knowingly at

season opens at the Grand. There will
of necessity be some rivalry between
the two companies, and it is stated that
Mai. Wettleson will arrange base ball

girls OF the two companies.
1t is said that Maj. Norton likes to be
addressed by the use Of the soft sound

Blogg is not a pretty name, neither
does it SAVIOR of promise Of greatness,
yet when it is breathed in the presence

thirst for glory has nothing to do with
the recent defeats of the Minneapolis
ball team. for glory was never known to
be bottled ana sold as commodity in
exchange for filthy lucre.
