ON THE SIDE.

X. c. Munger is hot in the collar, and yes
terday he wrote hot letter to the band com
mittee OF the Minneapolis harvest festival
1t had been given out, or intimated, that
Munger had run in a lot of crack profession
ais as the Jordan band, to which the first
prize was awarded, with string to it. Mum
ger saw this in yesterdays GLOBE, and he
took his pen in hand and. in parliamentary
but searching language. wrote letter deny
ing 1t. "They say they had a letter from me, )"
said Russ yesterday. II will pay $1,000 line
for any letter they can produce. / don't
know anything about the contest or about
the Jordan band.''
II am just in receipt of little book, COM
piled by our city clerk. which should be in
the hands of every citizen, said E.W. w bite,
secretary Of the board of education, yester-
day. 1T embodies great deal of informa-
ton on matters pertaining to the city's adj
minlstraton, and is d ready reference guide
CT no mean pretensions- The work of COM
piling it must have consumed much of Mr..
Prendergast's valuable time. while the char
acter Of its contents displays that practical
common sense and business acumen for
which the gent al Thomas is so noted"

James Coggswell, publisher of the Two
Harbors Iron News, called on Attorney Gen
eral Clapp at the capitol yesterday. He wakes
eloquent when Questioned concerning the
future of I wo Harbors.
1T is certain to become an important
factor among the industrial cities of the
state. he said to GLOBE reporter. We have
an excellent harbor, and the improvements
that are being made will greatly improve it,
The lighthouse is under way and the fog
a ma n
breakwater is being built To give you ar
idea of the magnitude of our business It is
only necessary to relate that we shipped
100000 tons of iron ore dnring the
month of August. But that was
the best month in the history of the city.
oh, yes, the port has been lively the past
summer. People here don't appreciate it.
The Minnesota steamship line is doing an
immense business. Thessteamer Mornoa of
this line recently took in the vicinity of 2,3O0
tons of ore to Cleveland, returning in just
six days one hour and twenty minutes. De-
Quoting the time it required to unload at
Cleveland-I don't know what is fair aver
age-it was mighty quick trip of 1, 700 miles.
Vast Improvements are under way or in
contemplation. The probability is that the
Dnlnth & Iron Range Railroad company will
expend fully a half-million dollars the com
ing winter

'.It is seldom that a man fails to identify
his own wearing apparel. DR.. Lawton, how
ever is guilty of such an instance of absent
mindedness. He laid off his overcoat the
other day in a friends Office, and, as the
weather was not sufficiently cold to be re-
hinder, he went off and left it. Yesterday,
when it was shown him by his friend with
the remark:
There is your overeoat Doctor" he looked
at 1t doubtfully and returned
Il think you are laboring under a mistake. :"
But it was his coat. as he learned when it
was pressed upon him by his friend He
learned this by the contents of his pockets
and now he is amazed at the fact he didn't
recognize it at once
