St. Paul Globe: 1t is amusing to note
how Republican papers are patting
Pennoyer on the back for his recent in
suit to President Cleveland. When the
pig-headed governor insulted President
Harrison the Republican papers whis-
tied another tune.
And then the Democratic papers
thought him mighty cunning. But
politics aside, Gov. Pennoyer will go
down into history as man with un-
limited capacity for making sundry and
divers kind of an ass of himself on the
slightest provocation.

MINNEAPOLIS BANKS.
Run on Merchants and Mechanics
Nearly Over-The State Bank.

Nearly OvCF-Iue state Eank.
MINNEAPOLIS, May II. = About 8
o'clock a. IN. little crowd began to
gather about the front of the Farmers
and Mechanics bank to watch the con-
tinuance of the run, il there was to be
one. Spaces were roped off on both
sides of the bank and only those ad-
mitted who had actual business to
transact. This will add to the speed
with which the money can be paid out.
The fact that the bank is making things
SO easy for it's depositors shows the
confidence Of the bank officials
in their ability to meet all
demands. People have continued to
draw money all morning, but it is
growing perceptibly small in crowd
and confidence is clearly returning.
Many deposits We're also made.
Will Resume Soon.
The directors of the Farmers and
Merchants State bank, the bank which
suspended Monday, held meeting and
decided to resume business as soon as
collateral can be realized on, which
will be in few days. The directors
say their money is now in sight and
that they will be in good condition

WoRLD's FAIR GROUNDS, May IT,
While the weather may be monot-

is nevertheless becoming a serious mat
ter to thousands Of people who are
financially and otherwise interested in
the Columbian exposition. Since the
time usually set for the breaking of
winters backbone there have not been
dozen seasonable pleasant days for
the fair. The elements have put
stumbling blocks in the way Of its COM
pletion in the last three months, and
since the opening there have only been
two or three warm pleasant days such
as visitors coming from all parts
of the world expect in order
to enjoy their outdoor viewing
of the exposition. This is the sixteenth
day, and more bleak, disagreeable dose
of weather would be hard to find any
where in this country at this season of
the year. The attendance in the morn
ing was lighter than it has been for
many days, and the exposition people
are discouraged accordingly.
Average Attendance Only 1900.
The average paid attendance so far
has not been much over 10000 daily,
which is far below the number neces-
sary to meet the operating expenses of
the exposition, to say nothing of the
millions of half dollars needed to repay
the bondholders and stockholders of the
great enterprise. Outdoor work in the

Forrest Abrews is an enterprising young
man who makes money trucking for the peo-
pie In and around Port Jefferson. Very
often when feeding time comes he is off
on the road with his team and conse-
quently his extra horses are compelled
to await the return Of their master
to receive their allowance OF grain.
Abrews figured over this state OF affairs
and finally decided that he could arrange
system Of chutes leading from bin on the
upper floor A slide was to be arranged to
be opened at certain time by a clock to be
placed IN the stable. The scheme seemed
feasible Abrews determined to try il. The
chptes were built and the clock was at
iached by an ingenious c0ntrlvance so that
tile side was raised just as the clock chimed
the hour of noon.
The thing worked like a charm during
the tests. Everything was finished and.
emptying the allowance of feed for each
horse in the chute, Abrews left. satisfied
that this time. at least, his horses would be
sure of dinner at high noon. 1t Is hardly
fair to premise that the horses had inter-
preted the meaning OF all the mechanical
contrivances which bad been erected. They
dozed in their stalls and as the hour drew
on toward feeding time and there were no
signs of the return of their master they be-
gan to grow uneasy. The barn was so quiet
that the ticking of the clock was plainly
audible. The gong sounded the first stroke
OF II. There was rafting in the chutes,
and the grain started with peculiar graf
ing sound toward the bin and poured out
under the noses Of the startled horses. They
reared and plunged backward at the unex-
pected noise. When they bad recovered
from their establishment they were found
standing among the ruins of their stalls.
They had smashed things generally.
ADreWS has decided IL is cheaDar il not
more regular, TO feed the animals In the old
Way.
