Doubt no longer exists as to the estab-
lishmentof permanent Democratic or
ganization in Minneapolis. The list of
100 names of Democrats who will pledge
themselves for s25 for the good of the
cause is complete. Next Friday evening
these gentlemen will meet, formulate
their articles of incorporation and elect
officers. The organization will then
proceed to engage rooms and fit them
up in the interest of Democracy.
Much has been said about this organi-
ZatiOn, but the plan on which it will be
conducted is not any too we'll under
stood yet 1t will be a regular organ
lied Democratic club, incorporated I'M
der the laws of Minnesota. 1t will have
convenient rooms for club purposes and
where Democratic literature can be
kept on file for the use of any Demo-
crat who is searching for facts with
which to crush the sophisms of his high
tariff neighbor. 1t will also be sup
piled with an assembly room where the
meetings of the club will be held. This
assembly room will also be available
for the use of all Democratic organiza-
tons. 1t will be sublet to these organi-
cations at reasonable rates. The CEN
trail idea of the scheme is to establish
permanent headquarters for the Demo.
Gratis of Minneapolis.
The new club will be put on such a
basis that a nan will lot have to be a
millionaire to become a member. The
intention behind the making up of list
of 100 names pledged for certain
amount of money is to put the organiz-
alton ON solid basis at the start.
The benefits to be derived from the
organization are many. One of the ad-
vantages that it is believed will accrue
from the organization is that it will
bring into the active work of the party
and hold interested there men who have

THE MYSTERIOUS RIDER.
How He Has Worried the Good

The mysterious rider of the Fourth ward

older citizens and Pro Bono Publicos that

THE DANGER is PAST.
The Mississippi Has Remained
Stationary for Some Time.

Unless there is heavy rainfall, all
danger from the river is over. Since
midnight Friday, the river has remained
practically stationary, and the engineer
of the North side pumping station says
it has fallen about one inch at Single
creek. E. G. Whitney, secretary of the
boom company. says there never was
any danger of the big boom breaking,
and that it would be impossible for
single log to get away. But Mr.. Whit
ney does not control the element, and
consequently cannot prophesy what
would happen if the expected occurred.
The Northern Pacific bridge, (which was
threatened Friday by the precarious
condition of the Akeley boom. is no
longer, unless the river should begin
rising again.
The denizeEs of the East side and Be-
hemian flats feel greatly relieved to
think that they are in no danger of
drowning out. Quite number on the
Bohemian flats moved away yesterday,
however, for they are determined to
run no more chances. The water at
both places has been nearly stationary
since Friday afternoon.

He Wouldn't Be BIuffed.

at Minnehaha falls, went on the rampage
last night and one of them, Robert Alternately,
pulled a revolver, threatening to shoot sew
eral of the others. They were tormenting
him, he said. and he did not propose to stand
it, He had been at Bull Run and several
other notable places during the late rebellion
and he did not propose to allow any three or
four men frighten him. Commander Nc
MILAN telephoned to police headquarters for
an officer, and one was detailed to go from
the south station. He soon returned with the
warlike Robert and locked him up at the CEN
trail station. The old soldier is about seventy
years of age and as gray as a rat.
