An official Of Quincy, Ill. recently disap-

Lace will be out Saturday. Mr.. Lee is one
of the brightest young writers IN the West,
and mis- works of fiction are always well
worth reading.
CAUGHT IN CORRIDORS.
Congressman Nils P. Haugen, the only Re-
publican elected to congress IN Wisconsin
last fall. came over from his home at Black
River Falls, and spent yesterday in visiting
his friends and attending to business in ST.
Paul. Early in the day he dropped into the
Office of his friend, Col Soren Listoe, of the
Northwestern, but as the colonel was out their
meeting was deferred until in the evening
when they got together at the Merchants. Mr..
Haugen is statesman who believes in por-
ton, at least, of the famous Republican po
litical aphorism of addition, division and
silence and doesn care to express himself
very freely on the political situation as tits
to-day in the Badger state. The result IN Mr..
Haugen's district, at the last election,
"a
tnat took place there. In 1888 Mr. Haugen de-
feated his Democratic opponent S. c. John
son, by the overwhelming majority OF 11.345
Last fall in the same district. he had less
than 400 over JuOge Bailey. OF Eau Claire.
In the last congress the Democrats had just
two members of the lower house; in the next
the Republicans will have one senator and
one representative, which is considerably
more than reversal of the positions of the
two parties Congressman Haugen, while he
does not quite like the reapportionment bill
given the state by the Democratic legislature,
has personally no complaint to make, as he
is placed in district that will in all proba-
bility, be rather strongly Republican.
Rev. Francis NJ. j. Crafts, missionary to
ethe Pine Ridge Indian agency is stopping at
+ the Clarendon. Father Crafts was severely
wounded in the recent Indian outbreak, and
has been slowly recuperating ever since.
The coat he wears is pierced in two places,
showing that had the bullet which did the
damage taken a slightly different course the
reverend father must certainly have been
killed. Father Crafts is deeply interested in
the work of evangelizing and civilizing the
Indians, out is firmly of the opinion that the
war department should have charge of them,
During the day he visited st. Joseph's acad-
emv and called on Archbishop Ireland,
Father Conway and other friends.
= Hon. Halvor SteenerSon, the well-known
politician and lawyer of Crookston, spent
yesterday in the SANITY City attending to
business before the supreme court. Mr..
Steenerson during the past four or five years
has taken but little part in politics, rather
preferring to devote himself to his extensive
law practice. Last fall, however, he found
llo.l
his county for so long and, were it not for
the unreasonable opposition of the farmers
To lawyers in general Mr.. Steenerson would
be strong candidate for congress in 1892.
But whether he runs for Office or not the
politicians of the new Seventh district will
not be very likely to ignore the Crookston ex-
senator.
John W. Power. of Fort Benton, Montana,
brother and business partner OF Senator j.
{. Power, of that state. reached the city on
the afternoon train over the Northern Pacific
yesterday.aand is now registered at the Ryan.
Mr.. Power, like his brother, has a peuchant
for politics, and at the late election was the
Republican candidate for senator in his dis
trict He was defeated, but last year was not
very favorable one for Republican can
didates, and in his defeat he had plenty of
company. When al home Mr.. Power mana
ges large mercantile business, and is known
as hustler from away back
The Indians in the northern portion of the
state are considerably worried over the resg
nation of ex-senator Henry NJ. Rice as one
of the commissioners appointed to negotiate
and carry out the provisions of the treaty
providing for the opening of the Red Lake
| reservation. Deputy United States Marshal
Roo rl,Or mad 70 nif,
Detroit last evening says that the leading
| men only have heard Of Mr.. Rice's resigra-
ton, and these are sorry TO hear of it.
''All the Indians have confidence in Sena-
tor Rice said Mr. Beaulieu, land / do not
believe any other man could have secured
| the consent Of the Indians to tho last treaty.
Knowing him so well, the Indians in a meas
ure look to him to see that the provisions of
the treaty are carried out If anything goes
wrong now it will be laid to the fact that Mr.
Rice was not on the board
Colgate Hoyt of New York, one of the di-
rectors of the Northern Pacific and the presi-
dent of the American Steel Barge company,
| spent yesterday in st. Paul with a party of
| friends who had witnessed with him the
| launching of two steel barges al West Su-
| peTior on Tuesday, one of which is named
| Colgate Hoyt'' in honor of the president of
! the company. The American Steel Barge
| company proposes to place a line on the lakes
in competition with the Northern Steamship
company. With Mr.. Hoyt yesterday were
| A. c. Davis, general agent of the Northern
| Pacific at Duluth, Capt. McDougal and f. H
! Weeks, of New York.
Charles Keith, the Princeton attorney, is
registered at the Merchants.
Maj. j. NJ. Bowler, of Bird Island, is a Clar
| endon guest.
Senator E. G. Holmes, who has been at the
| Merchants for a few days, returned to De-
| troit last evening.
Editor Joel P. Heatwole dropped into the
! city for a short time yesterday afternoon, and
after transacting some business returned to
| Northf1eld on the evening train. OF course
Joel is not saying word about politics at
| present, but those who claim to know affirm
| that he is doing great deal of thinking. His
tpaper, the Northfield News, defends the gov
ernor in the Rahlly matter, but this
may mean that the relations of his
excelleney and the chairman of the Repub-
lican state central committee are harmon
ious. and then again it may mean nothing of
the sort. Like sll Indianans, Mr.. Heatwole
is ambitious, and. as he is possessed of
pretty solid hold on the workers and the ed
itors of his party throughout the state, it will
not do for the managers to sit down very
hard upon him at present Notwithstanding
the fact that President Harrison is a native
of Indiana. the Noythfeld editor is not
Harrison man, and the little coterie of bosses
that have set out to deliver the delegation
from this state to President Harrison in 1892
will find serious obstacle in him.
Hon. John Wacek, of New Prague. made
his first visit to St. Paul sipee the adjourn
ment Of the legislature yesterday, when he
spent nearly the entire day in attending to
the transaction of business with the mer-
chants of the city. Since his return home he
| has been working day and night at his bust
