see the greatest amount OF activity and
new life in West Superior ever seen in
any city in the world" he said to an
acquaintance. "Hundreds of new build
ings will be constructed, and there will
be work for thousands of men. Many
new vessels will come into the port with
their loads of freight of all descriptions,
and there will be a strong move in the
matter of increasing the freight-carry-
ing capacity of the various roads. West
Superior is to be one of the busiest
places in the United States during the
coming spring"
Maj. E. A. Maglone, of North Dakota,
registered at the Merchants hotel yes
terday, fresh from Bismarck, where
they have just elected new Democratic
senator. He is jubilant over the results
of the election. and to reporter for the
GLOBE he spoke as follows on that sub
ject:
1.-The great senatorial election has at
last eliminated in the election of a
Democrat, Hon. W.. N. Roach, of Lari.
more. Mr.. Roach is an educated and
cleancut gentleman, and will re fleet
credit upon his state at Washington.
But the action of the Republican men,
bers of the North Dakota legislature
they having majority Of thirteen on
joint bailot-in allowing Democrat to
carry off the prize is the subject of gen.
eral comment, and Is regarded as mean
ing the thorough disintegratiOn of that
party in North Dakota, at least. The
feeling among the leaders of the vari
Gus factions seems to be very bitter. 1t

situation laid with member from

Roach rather than flatter Miller with
undoubtedly have swung other weak
sisters into line and elected the Fargo
banker. This reminds me of an in
cident that occurred in Fargo in 1884,
when John B. Raymond was candidate
for the Republican nomination to sue
coed himself as delegate in congress from
the then territory Of Dakota. Maj. Ed
wards was opposing him, while some
other members of the ''old gang" were
working for Raymond. The Cass county
convention assembled at Fargo to select
delegates to the territorial convention,
which latter convention was to choose
delegates to represent the territory in
the national Republican convention at
Chicago. Cass county was solidly in
favor of her favorite son, Raymond, and
owing to his profound opposition to
Raymond, Maj. Edwards at that time
could not have been elected dog pelter"
in the City of Fargo. his home
and that of Raymond. So Edwards
secured a proxy from some back
woods precinct. and appeared in the
county convention as big as life. At
the proper time he introduced a set of
resolutions, indorsing Raymond in the
most complimentary terms possible,
knowing full we'll that the same would
be voted down, and then he ed wardS)
would have an opportunity to telegraph
all over tho country that Raymond's
home county had refused to indorse
him. His scheme worked to charm,
aud when they adjourned,a more sheep
ish-looking lot of people you never saw
than the men composing that county
convention, and l imagine that this will
be the way with the Republican mem
berS of the present legislature. when
they return to their respective places of
abode to meet their respective constitu-
ents, with their respective excuses for
the way in which it all happened"

Ex-senator John C. Spooner, of Hud-
son, Wis, was registered at the Hotel
Ryan yesterday, his visit to st. Paul be-
ing a combination of business and
pleasure. He desired to note the man-
ner in which the legislature of the state
of Minnesota was conducted for the
purpose of refreshing his memory in
such matters. The senator is not inter-
ested in politics to any extent now, as
his defeat at the recent election has left
him out of the field at present. He had
nothing to say in regard to the recent
elections, and SAID he did not care to
talk Oh the subject of politics.

A. Empey, of Mortified, has his
headquarters at the Merchants during
his stay in the city, and, according to

the summer months he speeds some of
them OH the neighboring tracks and
some of the best prizes offered at the
fairs in the vicinity OF Northfield have
been carried off by them.

heard the man with the long hair tell
the Jew that he was mind reader. He
told him that he could read mis-
thoughts.
IF you will read my thoughts will

appeared to be skeptical.
Thing of your business said the
mind reader. The Jew seemed to be
engaged in deep thought. and the mind
reader quickly told him that he was
merchant"

The mind reader then said that he
had come from Chicago, and after
another period of thought on the part of
the skeptical Jew he was told that he
had been buying goods. He was then

about what he intended to do.
"'You are thinking how you can beat
the men you bought the goods Of out of
their money! SAID the mind reader.
The Jew quickly placed his hand in
his pocket, and handed the mind reader
a 81 bill. The latter seemed triumphant
and pleased at his success.
"'But you didn't guess it, said the
Jew.

the mind reader in establishment.
THAT is for the idea said the Jew"
P. P. McDonough placed his name on
the register of the Windsor last night,
