Eustis, Minneapolis mayor, and one

fore the Republican State committee

Mr.. and Mrs. Race entertained the
city teachers Tuesday evening. The
evening was very pleasantly spent in
literary charndes and giving quota
tions from the American poets. The
principal fun of the evening was the

The Andrews Opera Co. is scheduled
to appear at the opera house tonight,
but up to the time of going to press
yesterday afternoon no paper descrip-
tive or otherwise of the opera had
been received by the parties signing
the guarantee, and the latter will pro-

was made to reach the company by
wire with view of informing them of
the condition of things here, but no
response was received. They played
at New Ulm last night.

A bloody saloon row occurred on
the corner of Mill and Second streets
last Monday evening, when Timothy
Looney, ST., badly cut Matt. McGett-

out of the saloon. But Looney hac
his knife drawn, and as Matt. stepped
in to interfere struck him an awful
blow on the left hand, cutting around
the second finger in a frightful man.
ner. Bittson was also cut before
Looney was placed under control
No arrests we're made that evening.
At the Presbyterian church last
Sunday evening, Rev. John Sinclair
spoke of Niagara Falls, visited on his
recent trip. He thought that the en-.
ergy of Americans, as compared with
the Canadians was shown to be fal
