DR.. J. p. Cox, of Hayward, Wis, will
spend his THANKSGIVING at the Ryan.

The life of a banker in a small town
In farming community is never very
exciting, but it has its cares and de-
mandS n man who can make and keep
himself solid with the farmers. Such
aman is J. w. DonOhue. of Bird Island,
one of the owners and the cashier or the
Bank of Bird Island. who is now stop
ping at the Clarendon. In the county
seat war, fought out little over year
ago. between Beaver Falls and Bird Is
land. Mr.. DonOhue was one of the mana
gers OF the campaign made by his town,
and the magnificent vote rolled up for 1t
was largely due to Mr.. DonOhue'S work.
Capt. A. II. Reed, of Glencoe, dined
at the Merchants yesterday and re-
turned home by the evening train. Be-
sides being one of the principal mer-
chants in Mcleod county, Mr.. Reed
finds time to oversee a very large farm.
and occasionally takes a hand in poll
tics. Had it not been for some very
crooked work he would now be in con-
gress instead of Congressman d. S.
Hall. At the Red Wing convention in
1883 Capt. Reeds nomination was pre-
vented only by an adjournment. Of
course this made the captain just little
weary, but, being one of those intensely
loyal Republicans, he was found work
ing for "Dar" Hall before the campaign
was over. This year he did the same
thing, strengthening the Renville bar
ley-raiser not little in Mcleod county
by running for the state senate in that
staunch Democratic county.
c. E. Moody. clerk of court Of Ben
ton county, and Col. j. Fl. Coates, Of
M
day afternoon in the lobby of the Mer-
chants. Mr.. Moody Is the Seventh dis
trict's representative in the Democratic
state central committee, and one of the
shrewdeSt party workers in that part of
the state. He was reelected clerk of
the court at the recent election in Ben
ton county.
County Attorney J. D. Markham, of
Chsago county, came down from Rush
City yesterday aud is now at the Mer-
chants, Mr.. Markham is the one DEM
Ocrat who has nearly always been
able to be elected TO Office in that strong
Republican county. Another Rush
City attorney in the city yesterday was
Lewis ID. Dent, who won some cOnsid-
cradle notoriety as the attorney who de-
Tended William Booker, the Pine
few months ago.
President R. j. Hall, of the Farmers
Alliance, took the morning train for
Morris yesterday. Hon. John j. Fur
long waited until evening, and then
started home TO spend Thanksgiving
with his family.
c. ii. Horton, of Woonsocket, r. l.,
and John II. Bacon, of New York, are
Ryan guests.
William +. Cody, better known as
buffalo BILL arrived in Sc. Paul from
the East shortly before noon yesterday,
and at 3 o'clock left for the West. He
was accompanied by two Of the men
who went with him across the water in
his cowboy show. The entire party
wore broad-brimmed hats, and affected
all the distinguishing characteristics of
the dead game cowboy as he exists in
the yellow-backed novel.
The strangers who tarry within the
borders of St. Paul to-day and eat their
Thanksgiving dinners at the hotels will
be entertained in right royal manner.

mmemorial in this city. At the Ryan
dinner will be served from $50 to s
o'clock, and the guests will be enter
tanned with sweet music by Kleists
mandolin orchestra while they feast.
The menu has been prepared by Land
lord Mehl with all the care possible,
and is most elaborate.
For nearly week MIR. Summers, oil
the Windsor hotel, has devoted himself
almost entirely to the subject of &
Thanksgiving dinner, and the result Of
all his labor is the production of menu
as choice and exquisite as it is lengthy

the Windsor also, and no pains will be-
spared to make the annual dinner, OF
which the proprietOrS pride themselves
worthy both of them and of the house.

made, and. while there will be fewer
travelling men and politicians to enjoy
the dinner, there will be a host of st
Paul people present who know the
quality of Thanksgiving dinner gotter
up at these houses. The Grand Central
