NOTE AND COMMENT.
The burning question next week will
be: "Who killed Robert Pratl?"
Every member of the Republican COM
mittee is sufferer. All have chilli
blains, and there is but little doubt they
were brought on by the terrible frost"
OF Saturday night at the Lyceum.
City Clerk Haney is laying his wires
for reappontment. Wonder if he
was promised anything for making
the bluff in the matter of Heirup's cer-
.iticate of nomination.?
Thomas q. Shearman. of New York.
will speak at the Lyceum theater tomOr-
row night. He will-speak in behalf Of
the Democratic ticket, especially the
congressional. He is one OF the fore-
most single tax orators of the country.
His appearance here is an event of i'm.
portance, and must not be overlooked
by the Democrats of the city and county.
Mayor Eustis and the Crusaders had
heated argument Sunday over the meth
DDS and practices of both parties to the
discussion. The mayor, of course, up
held his policy" but the Crusaders
proved little too much for even that
bugaboo.
Mayor Eustis has got the guberna-
torial flea in his bonnet, and already
sees himself in the chair of state. Deli.
cate illusions are being made by cer-
tain of his newspapers to his chances
two years from now. which demon-
strates that his press agent is getting in
his work
John Goodnow and "BillY" Wood

yesterday afternoon in the lobby of the
Guaranty Loan building. Sergeant
kirkam and Aurbach, the Jew, were
noticed lurking" behind the raised
stairway.
Capt. Reed, of Glencoe, was in the city
yesterday. He says the Republicans
will carry everything down his way.
NicOllet avenue is now covered with
gravel and dirt, placed there by the ci,y
engineers department. 1t makes a
lovely" thoroughfare, in fact, one that
Aid. Loye, of the Fourth ward. ought to
be proud of. His work for the paving
OF NicOllet avenue will no doubt elect
him-to stay at home.
Tomorrow is registration day. This
is the last chance of the campaign.
DON'T forget to register.
j. II. Wendell, the Democratic candi.
date for district judge, presented him
self before Judge Russell yesterday

In referring to the 'non-partisan
business mems" meeting of last Satur-
day night, c. A. Pillsburv, who was
misled as to the purposes of the affair
and almos: compelled to act as chair
man of it, stated yesterday that in his
opning the affair was badly managed
and badly advertised affair. He wants
to know why the other business" men
who signed the call did not put III their
appearance.
The indications are that T. B. Wins
ton will be sent back to the legislature
this fall with bigger majority than he
received two years ago.
The Penny Press says that Robert
Pratt has an enviable war record. The
voters OF this city do not question the
records of the dead past; they are inter
ested in the very much alive present.
His war record may be good. but the
same cannot be said of his aldermanic
record, relative, for instance, to the
laborlng men.
FRANKLIN w. Lee, the st. Paul news
paper man, was accorded a hearty re-
ceplion last night at the Grand opera
house, where his farce comedy, THE
Star GaZer," was given its initial North
western production. He has evrry rea-
son to feel proud of the manner in
which his creation was received. for it
was applauded throughout. 1t is
clever thing. and will no doubt bring in
a nice round sum of money before the
season is over.
MIR. Lee has achieved considerable
fame as writer of short stories and
verse. The comedy. 1.-The Star Gazer,''
will add to mis- laurelS.
