HIT AND MISS SHOTS.

Richard Britton, the manager OF the
Harris company's theaters said the other

posited with the Fidelity Savings bank,
which busted higher than Gilderoy'S
kite some wears ago, and that Richard
never would see those shining doliars
more. tia
John MCGOWAN has just completed
large painting in oil OF the OSteno iight-
house 1t is q night scene, Win
clouded sky through which the moon
Struggles feebly. and casts faint CLEANS
of light along the stOrm-beaten coast.
The flashing lantern in the tower, sig.
mailing danger ahead to vessels OIL

which contains touches of genuine ART.
and is well worth the $500 received for IL.
The idea that any middle aged man
who has spent the greater part OF MS
life in the wide-awake West, and who
has read the newspapers, c0uld DE
caught and bled for a thousand cold,
hard bills by trick of-the panel as Old
as the story of Adam aud Eve, seems
almost incredible, yet a very highly re-
spected old gentleman of this com
munity paid that amount to get out OF
hole last Tuesday night.
A late wrinkle is the connection OF
the electric cars with boat for Mime
haha falls. The connection is made at
Groveland Park, where the river is
reached. and the new route to the falls
promises TO become very popular one.
The inquiry into the causes Wnlcn
led to the Wrecking of the steamer Sea
Wing and the loss of 100 lives has so
far developed nothing calculated TO
allay the feeling existing in Red wing
regarding the affair. The grand jury
sits at that latter place in a few weeks,
and more. may be expected to result
from its investigation than from any
now in progress.
Duluth is rapidly becoming famous as
a place OF summer resort. one young
woman, who has always made aidisplay

Zenith City this year, and ST. Panlites
will be on hand to see them win, or
duck them off the float if they lose.
Supt. Cross has been doing some first
class work on the Hamline race course,
and it is safe to say that when the first
race is called next Wednesday there
will be no fault to be found unless
heavy rains should intervene.
w. r. Gitt, of Chicago, is IN the city,
and, although be is reputed to have
rolled up cool $4,000 in the Chicago
real estate lift, he is the same Git as
ever, and not proud in the least: MI.
Git says he is in no particular hurry,
but will return to Chicago in time to
open up the worlds fair.
Frank Shaw is jubilant over the pros
poets for the running meeting now
close at hand. Very little has been said
as to what horses would be here this
year, owing to a determination that
none should be disappointed this year
by the non-arrival of crack. 1t is now
sure thing that the best in the country
Will be here and that the famous Spo-
kane will exhibit himself to the specta-
tors III the grand stand.
