The long missing Eta Mcbride, Of
Blue Earth 6Ity, this state, has been
faund teaching school at Lake Mary,

to believe. +

The wheat investigation, elevators and
ally, together with SIC, 600 appropria-
ton, have disappeared from our midst.
ssWhat are we here for?" finally dawned
upon them and without further ado they
dispersed.

The Pennsylvania board of pardons
has recommended pardon in the cases
Of Mellen and Porter, the newspaper
men who libeled Senator Quay. Here is
a case where refusal to accept q pardon
would prove beneficial to the prisoners.

A number of names have been men
toned for Governor by our Republican
contemporaries, all of whom have served
the state in one capacity or another here
tofore. In looking over the list there is
one who has done much service for his
party-a good deal of hard work--wlth-
out any particular reward, and that man

It has been given out that Minneapolis
will make all the base ball teams hustle
from start to finish this year. This kind
of talk has been heard SO often from the
present management Of Minneapolis base
ball affairs that it will naturally be swat
lowed with several grains Of salt. The
apereeration is certainly no better than
last year, judging from list OF the
names. and If this view be correct Min
neapolis, in it's "hustle'', will arrive nearer
the foot prize than it did last year.

Hon. John F.. Finerty's lecture at tins
Lyceum theatre Thursday was master
niece OF eloquence and the speaker was
frequently applauded throughout It's de-
livery. Quite contingent was present
from St. Paul, among the number being
Dan. w. Lawler, Geo. M. Gilman, John
Cunniff, J. J. Kennedy, I. z. Kelleher,
J. 3. Pewters, r. r. Martin, J. 81. Burns,
G. y. McDermott The attendance was
fair-not near what it should have been
Az THE IRISH STANDARD goes 70 press on
Friday but slight reference can be mace

r. nc. Woodwork, city cemetery III
spector, is the laat Democratic official te
be placed on the rack-according to He
publican uthority-though there YVES
no intimation of it from any other soarce.
OF course it was only a runor manurac'
tured out of whole cloth. Mr. Wood
worth can afford to be removed from
time to time by the Republican press.
Tt won't effect him much. He holds his
position by virtue of the Democracy and
will undoubtedly draw his salary right
along for services faithfully performed,
regardless Of trumped-up designations
and Withdrawals by the opposition.

Gladstone is not writing reviews for
novels nova days. In fact, he seems de-
termined to do no more CT thig. His re-
view of "Robert Elsemere' Melted the
authoress cool $4,000 from it's sale,
and undoubtedly Mr.. Gladstone WIS
thoroughly Disguised with himself for
noticing it all after thorough aud care
full examination of it's pages. Mrs
Humphrey Ward is the Latest. to
apply to the Grand Old Man" for q re-
view of "David Grieve," but Mr.. Glad
stone was grieved to say that his time
was too limited to review the book, and
d. G. will therefore have to go elsewhere
for an recommendation.

The rush to the Mesaba range still
continues, though not so great as few
weeks ago. Mining companies are being
incorporated with perfect regularity and
iron ore is being discovered everywhere
throughout the range-by telegraph.
There seems to be but little doubt, toe,
but what ore has been discovered by the
regular process of mining, though the
Mesaba, evidently, is not relying upon
this latter course for success. Like the
wheat pit, the few who are to or have
succeeded in the Mesaba range will soon
be heard of, but the thousands who have
lost their all will act the roll of the oys'
ter, with now and then an exception
where further interest in life is lost
