southern and western part of Pierce
county, has been teaching for some
time in Ashland, Wis.
Amos Rosenberger remains in Red
Wing another year, at Beeman's Bust

shorthand in the school of Miss Hess,
which is, we believe, the largest in
the city.
The male principals of st. Paul last
year formed, with the principals of
Minneapolis, a Twin-Cities' School
masters Club, meeting alternately in
each city. The idiotic census war did
not reach up to their level, and their
first meeting of the year was held last
Saturday at the West Hotel, Mime
apolis, and was very enjoyable. The
subject under discussion WIS the unfit
cation of studies. Among the members
from st. Paul are Sumner Farnsworth
and III. 5. Baker.

of all who know him.

recently became widow, is living III
Minneapolis at present.
Last week Mr.. and Mrs. III. 5. Baker
| went to Minneapolis to attend the
| Exposition, and be humbugged, If the
show be a humbug, as charged. The
| general exhibit was simply as usual
and the prices to hear the music were
simply outrageous, but the art gallery
and Strauss Band were well worth
seeing. That famous orchestral string
/ band was wonderful, and llrs. Baker
was spell-bound by their renderings
especially the delicate shades of ex
preston which marked their playing
while her husband, the Prof. not feel
ing himself warranted by his musical
ear in posing as Beethoven or Gil
more, could not dispute her favorable
criticisms. The art gallery is really
wonderful collection, and has beer
so every year. No one within radiu!
of a hundred miles can afford to mis-!
it. Mr.. and Mrs. B. were also happy
to meet Mrs. Dr.. Golden and her sister
| Miss Harvey, at the show. DIR. GoulC
of River Falls was also there. DR.
Golden has lucrative practice ii
Minneapolis, and gives special atten
ton to surgery. Mr.. Baker was a
much interested in the electrical ex
hibition, which was almost miracu
lous, as his wife in the music.
