General Passenger AGENT Russell, Of
the st. Paul q Duluth, has returned
from the Rainy Lake district. Popular
rumor at the time of his departure con-
nected his name with gold brick
scheme. The lines of thought upon his
brow would indicate that he has placed
himself ell rapport with the mind of
some scientist, and that somewhere in
the moody Businesses of the Rainy Lake
district he has analysed that brick. He
contemplates the preparation of a
thesis on what Don't Know About
Gold Bricks"
The Badger State. of the Western
Tourist company. will leave Duluth on
Aug. s, and the steamer Iudia, of the
Erie & Western Transportation COM
pany. on Aug. 9. j. II. WHITAKER, the
city ticket agent here. reports that the
bookings for passengers on these two
boats exceed that of any number sent
out by him so far this season. The
steamer City of Duluth, of the Lake
Superior Transit company's Chicago
line, also leaves Duluth on Aug. s.
The action of the local employees of
most of the lines formally declaring the
boycott off was entirely unnecessary,
though it showed the proper spirit. The
attitude of the press of the country, the
unyielding aud determined stand taken
by the railroads themselves, coupled
with their energy, and the entire COM
bination backed by adverse public sem
timent, strangled the strike long ago.
Public opinion decreed that the wheels
should turn, aud they did.
Some rhymester In the Mortified
News has parodied the soliloquy of
King Richard ILL, and broken loose III
flow of language of which Carl judi
son, of the 500 line, is made the hero.
The isle of Mackinac Geached from st.
Paul over this line for $40 is made the
theme. Judson is thus spoken of:
wrapped only in his pellucid SMILE"
which ought to prove as comfortable a
suit to wear in the broiling heat as a
paper cap and pair of sandals.
c. E. johnson, of the Northern Pacific
passenger department, is the proud
pOssessor of a unique timepiece, the
possibilities of which a genius alone

northern lights, foretelIs the tides, is
perfect barometer and thermometer,
gives the changes iii the moon, has
cuckoo alarm attachment, and even tells
the time of day. 1t is multum in parvo,
and includes about everything except
ing kodak and ice cream freezer.
