NOTE AND COMM ENT.

While George ii. Br0adnurSt, late OF
Grand Forks, and by this time of Chi
cago, was looking over the city yester-
day to decide what business property
he would buy as soon as he had cOrnered
the theatrical market Of Chicago, he re-
lated a little story on himself that illus
trates what a stimulant of nerve action
the atmosphere of the North Dakota
plains is One day as Broadhurst was
walking alOug the street in the North
Dakota metropolis he heard some one
behind him shouting, with marked
MileSian accent:
"Misther Br-r-roadhurst! Mr.. Br-r-
roadhur-r-rstW
Were you calling me, madame"
said George, turning and removing his
hat. for the voice was that OF woman.

hat firmly on his head, ''if only to
prove that wonderful accumulation OF
gall Is not always wasted.

certain ''mOnopolistic anGv9lutocratic''
papers said yesterday that thieves had
stolen $1,000 worth of diamonds from

There is young couple living out on
Harmon place who have a little girl
that is the Joy of their lives, as all prop
erly constructed little girls should be.
But that little girl sometimes lets fall
remark that is somewhat astonishing to
her buSiness-like father. The par
ticuar JOY of the chlld'S life
is double and is concentrated in
a couple of dolls named Jay Could and
Ruth Cleveland. Her resemblance to
her father, who is rising young CAPT
talist, is very marked, as is shown by
her devotion to Jay Gould. The other
day the father came home in the even
ing to find the little one sitting in the
middle of the floor and crying as if her
little heart would break.
what is it, my darling?" inquired
the father, picking her up and attempt
ting to dry her tears.
"Oh, Jay Gould is broke! Jay Gould
Is broke!" she sobbed.
"Well, pet, don't cry about that. You
should be proud of it, for you have done
what thousands OF men have tried to do
without the shadow of success"
The council has taken steps to pro-

1t may be interesting to MInneapoli-
tans to know that this city will be well
represented at the worlds fair, at least
in the way of theatricals. The theatre
cal business during the six months of the
worlds fair is expected to be some
thing phenomenal. and the managers
of the Worlds Fair City, of course, want
to provide something in that line that
will be truly representative of the best
IN American theatricals. Sol Smith
Russell has been accorded the homer of
being selected to fill one of the theaters.
He will play at the Chicago Grand
Opera house during the whole six
months of the fair.
The South Minneapolis Telegram has
nominated Clayton X. Cooley for county
auditor, and, III support of the request
that the Republican party honor him
with the nomination, advances the in
formation that Mr.. Cooley is the presi-
dent of the Flambeau club. Mr.. Cooley,
though an estimable young man, may
now consider himself etfectually hoo
dooed.
The conviction is being forced upon
the public that the Times is contra
dictory, inconsistent Journal. On its

dear, sweet old lady who edits the Jour-
nal.
