ONE THING AND ANOTHER.

From the press OF +. j. Schultz d Co.,
of Chicago. will soon be issued volume
that must have good deal in it to in-
terest Minneapoltans. The volume
will be called 'sDonnelliana, all APP
pendix to Caesars Column. Thes
title indicates that il has something to I
do with lgnatius Donnelly. The indica7
ton is true. 1t has good deal to do
with Ignatius Donnelly-nearlys 500
pages to do with him. 1t is the work of
the Fidus Achates of the Sage of MINI
ger, DR.. Fish, In the volume IA pages
are given up to life of Donnelly, most
of it having to do with his political
career. 1t contains copious extracts
from Donnelly's private papers and
samples of the matter he has written
in his journal, so it is easy to see that
nothing derogatory to DOnnelly will app
pear i'll it. The Sage is lauded IN the
style so familiar to the readers of the
Great West, and the men who were
opposed to him in politics are denounced
i'll manner that leads one to believe
that the Sage himself may have written
some of the passages. The books which
Mr.. DOnnelly has written are also men,
toned at length, and extracts from
press notices of them have been incOr-
porated in the work. But what interests
Minneapolis in the book is the attention
bestowed upon two Minneapolis men.
Senator w. d. Washburn and Col.
"Bilp' King. Page after page is devoted
to choice vitu peration, analysis of the
and to their dealings with Mr.. Donnelly.
In one place Col. King is spoken of as
THAT dreadful character-Blll King"
And "Bill King" is printed in italics.
In fact. italics are plentifully besprin-
killed. all through the work. DR.. Fish
wrote 1874 pages or biography and
seemed to have finished with the define
alton of the character of King and
Washburn. Then he took up his pen
again, and, under the heading "Ad-
denda, The Last Act in the Drama" he

A couple of weeks ago when the &C.
ton of the council committee on licenses
brought up the matter of Sunday thea
tiers, small party was collected in the
Office of a well-knOwn theater manager.
The conversation turned OH the Ques
ton of Sunday theaters and the SINGER
ity of the ministers and others making
the fight on the Sunday theaters.
"It any of you gentlemen get around
toward any of the newspaper Offices,'
certain theatrical manager of this city
has been anXiouSly watching for the ap-
pearance of the name of some minister,
among those who have contributed to-
the relief of Mrs. Wallace, the mother
of that girl who was killed in the wreck
up near Brainerd. Now there was D.
worthy charity. The recipient was "a
deserving woman, and she was in sore
need. But did not see the name of one

the list of contributors You will also
notice, if you scan the list of names of
people who contributed to that fund,
that, with scarcely, an exception, the
contributors were the wicked people
who make their livings in the theatrical
business in one form or another. just;
mention this little manner to show you
how some people talk q good deal and
do little"
This same manager is making war Oh
the ministerial profession, but he Isl
making it in peculiar manner. The
war is still confined to tie limits of his
Office. And the.ministeIs will ot-kflow
that he has declared war on them until
| they read this,tomorrow morning-for,
|: of course, they will not read it OH Sun,
day. This theatrical manager eagerly
scans the newspapers every morning.
And what does he look for? The records
of crimes committed by men who wear
the cloth. This has become a mania
with him, and not even little INSIDE
meanOr ever gets away from him. He
carefully clips all of them from the
papers and pastes them up on the wall
of his Office, where he can turn to them
at moments notice, or whenever he
feels the need of little amuSe-
ment. Then he sits and gloats
over the record. To tell the truth,
he has made a great collection. He has
been at it only couple of weeks, and
he has already found about seven
columns of that sort of matter. The
calendar from house breaking TO wife
beating. He also saves all the cuts of a
questionable character that may appear
in the newspapers, He says he will
publish the crimes, embellished with
the cuts, some day, with little adver-

FIG. Holbrook, secretary to his honor
the mayor of Minneapolis, is peculiar
man in many ways. One of his peculiar
tiles is that he is so honest and straight
forward that he cannot conceive. of ,
moral obliquity in any one else. This
honesty of purpose, added to predis-
position to near sightcdneSs, renders
him blind to many of the injustices that
exist in the world, and which are
patent to most men. The other day.
a group of walters for an audience with
the mayor were being entertained by
Police Surgeon Gibson with reminis-
cences of the days when he was an
army surgeon out in Wyoming. The
doctor was telling of the schemes the
Indian agents have for beating the In
dians out of what the government sends
such as weighing the scales, etc.
When he had finished his narration of
the bare-faced manner in which the In
dian is defrauded. HolbrooB, who had
been listening with attention, startled Z
