a fine record in the lower House of the
Legislature, and as Uncle John Smith
put it, They have no cleaner and more
conscientious men in the Democratic
party than Jim Stevens He is an honest

A few hours before the engagement at
cambridge, Tenn, two members of the
First Wisconsin Cavalry had warm dis
pute over the matter of foreordination.
One of them stoutly maintained that the
time and place Of every mans death are
appointed beforehand. With equal fervor
the other trooper maintained that the be-
lief in foreordlnation is the greatest nom
sense imaginable.
soon after the engagement opened the
regiment, which had been fighting on
foot, was forced to beat hasty retreat,
and the believer in REORGANIZATION and
his opdonent in the recent debate were
two OF the most nimble runners among
the Union troops. They huDpened to
meet when the pursuit ceased.
The man who had condemned the
theory OF foreoriination thought he had

Robinson & Moan Sell Out to G. p.
Jones and G. e. Mabie.
The Robinson & Moan car works,
which were removed from Waterloo,
Iowa. to Minneapolis last year, and To-
Gated at Parker, just outside the city
limits, have been sold. c. P Jones, of
Minneapolis, and G. E. Mabie, of Sioux
City, are the purchasers. The new
owners will take possession of the prop
erty in few days, and will pro-
coed to Immediately enlarge the works.
When the shops we're brought here a
factory with a capacity OF 800 cars year
was built, and 125 men went to work.
The orders came pouring in, and at
present the company needs double its
capacity to take care of its business.
There are at present ninety-twO cars in
all stages of construction. This concern
is the largest exclusive street car manu-
factory in the United States, and its
success attracted the attention of the
purchasers. They propose to double
the capital stock and make it
second to no similar concern i'll

probably to the Minneapolis Car COM
pany, although American Car company
has been suggested. Mr.. Robinson will
retire from the new company, but Mr..
Moan will retain an interest. The act

of the new owners, however. Mr..
Moan will devote his attention to other
interests. Mr.. Jones owns the right of
manufacturing in this country of the
Hurricane pillow, which was proved so

COMING TO MINNEAPOLIS.

The Scandinavian Saengerfest
Will Certainly Be Held Here.
The Scandinavian saengerfest will be
held in Minneapolis in one year from
thi month. That much has been decid-
ed definitely. When the convention
met yesterday there were two points at
issue between the convention and the
local committee. The first difficulty
arose over the guaranty which the
singers want for railroad fares. The
amount required was placed at $1,000
first. but afterward that was reduced
to $1,000. The local committee of
fered $1,000 now, and would agree
to pay the balance out of
the profits. The other question
arose over the management of the fest.
The local committee want to have con-
troll of the matter in order to reimburse
themselves for expenses. At first this
would not be conceded; but after the
committee had wrestled with the QueS
ton for good part of the forenoon, the
terms of the local committee were &C
cepted and it was decided that Mime
apolis could have the fest. The con-
vention Endorsed the action of the COM
mlttee by an almost unanimous vote.
By the terms finally agreed upon, no
cash guaranty will have to be raised.
The Minneapolis societies will raise all
they can in addition to the So, 900 already
secured and the $4,000 subscribed will
protect them against losses. 1t was
also settled that all the singers shall
wear white cap with blue band, as a
uniform.

THE LABOR PICNIC.
1t Will Go to Lake Minnetonka on
Sunday, August 10.


At the meeting of the general COM
mittee, composed of members from the
different trades organizations having in
charge the arrangements for the big
labor picnic, which was held in Labor
Temple last evening, Sunday, Aug. TO-,
was the day selected for the demonstra-
ton, and the big crowd will go to Lake
Minnetonka. 1t was also decided
to place the tickets at 60 cents
for the round trip, which is Is
cents cheaper than the regular rate,
and children's tickets will be sold at
half rate. Invitations will also he ex-
bly, of ST. Paul to participate, and
through that body to all the other trade
organizations. All the necessary sub
committees were appointed, and besides
music, dancing and field sports, novel
feature will be added. The chairmen
of both the Democratic and Republican
county committees will be requested to
send speaker to the picnic to present
the views of his party. and as it is eX-
pected that fully 5000 will be in
attendance, the political orators
will no doubt be Oh hand to
do little missionary work before the
battle at the polls is opened. The fol-
lowing subcommittee to arrange the
details and report at the meeting of the
general committee on next Monday
evening were appointed: Speakers,
Thomas A. Clark; police, Messrs. Cas-
silly and Gill; refreshments, Gill, Ledg-
erwood and Burgess; amusements,

TO A DULUTH COMPANY.
Two More Grain Elevator Lines
Sold Out.

Some more elevator lines have been
sold. The stock of the Northern Pacific
Elevator company and of the Red River
Valley Elevator company has passed
into the possession of the Lake Superior
Elevator company, of Duluth. Presi-
dent Greenleaf. of the Red River COM
pany, yesterday confirmed the report of
the sale. He added, however, that
the transfer will make no particular
difference in the affairs of the company
or with Minneapolis. The general
offices of the company will remain in
Minneapolis, but the wheat will be sold
wherever it will bring the most money.
1t will not be handled exclusively in
Minneapolis if it will bring more
money elsewhere. E.. Cordin. mana
ger of the Northern Pacific Ele-
vator company, confirmed what
stated that the Northern Pacific and
the Lake Superior companies had been
allies for several years. The transfer
of the stock is in the nature of a guar
antee that the companies will remain
allies. The Offices of the Northern Pa
cifc company will also remain in Min
neapolis. The Red river valley has
about fifty elevators on the line of the
Great Northern road principally, and
the Northern Pacific has about 120 on
both the Great Northern and the North
ern Pacific roads.
