tho blessing of ST. Vincent's church, OF
which Rev. Father Cosgroye is the es-
teemed and beloved pastor. Bishop Nc.

The failure OF the Commercial Bank Of
this city, in soale measure, created a
panic here last Monday. 1t was given
ont that & TUE would be made OH the
saven-corners Bank, Of which Billy Ban
e,o,zar is the esteemed president. The
run started, but the complacent air with
which Billy sat in the front office OF the
bank smoking cigar and paying all who
demanded thair money, the amount due
thean had tendency to quiet the nerves
Of the depositors. All who want their
money can have it, said Mr.. Banholzer.
we are prepared; to meet any KIND OF q
rpn. But il did not come and Tuesday
found everything ali serene at the Seven
Corners Bank.
Not the least Of the regrets to be- Of
fecad by Democrats and Republicans
alike /. the loss OF the present head OF
tbs city detective force, John }. oCon-
nor To attempt to eulogize MIN FOR
past record that is without stain dur
ing his nine years as chief of that depart
rnsnt would be superhuous. John
t)'Connor leaves that Office with con-
seriousness OF having we'll and truly per-
formed his duties. He has insti}led INTO
the minds Of the thieving fraternity the
one lesson, that ST. Paul is a good place
for them to keep away from. Socially
Mr.. O'Connor is one man in Thousand.
TO see him is to know him, to know him
is to respect him and not soon forget ham;
but to be missed he always will be.
The election is over and the question
which is now agitating the mind of spoil
hunters is tho filing Of the office of the
Chief of Police. Had the late Capt. John
Eresette lived to see the result OF thus
late election the question OF the selection
OF chief of police would soon be settled.
Bat asp;rants for the Office are besieging
Mayore]ect Wright and Kilkenny cat
fight is now going On among the Repub-
l;can office seekers. Prominent among
them is the present Sheriff, Ed. S. Bean,
and the mantle could not fall on better
or wf,rthler shoulders. He is enllnently
qualified to fll the portion and would
hold it with the same becoming grace
and dignity with which he fills the present
office. But his chief opponent IS one OF
his deputies, John Harris. and Harms has
g. "pull" Of NO small quantity. Tue
friends Of Harris are not few nor isolated
hut Bean has monopoly IN that dlrec-
tiou and if he really desires the plam
will undoubtedly be wearing the star OF
Chief of Police soon after making his
wants known.
