MINNEAPOLIS.
GOSSIP OF THE CURB.

The Republicans in the Eighth ward
are making it very unpleasant for Aid.
Flanders. They are determined that he
shall not be elected TO the council again,
and from ali appearances they will gain
their end. Pamphlets are being dis
trbuted around the ward which set
forth in sharp language to arraign Aid.
Flanders, Woodward and BradiSh. These
three gentlemen come in for hot roast,
and then Aid. Flanders record as
councilman is turned over. The turning
over process is accompanied with not
infreQuent and unpleasant odors, no
doubt occasioned by the condition of the
aforesaid record"
The Thirteenth ward is still in a con-
dilon Of helplessneSs. The life of the
ward is entirely soaked up with the
noX.OuS weeds. thiStleS and aldermanic
candidates that overrun the streets,
fields and woods. If Aid. Gray has his
wits with him he will harvest the pres
ent crop of candidates and then go sail
ing i'll on the tidal wave.
Down In the Seventh ward there is
threatened all kinds of exposure when
the convention gets down to business
and the matter or nominating another
Republican from that ward is brought
up. Several druggists and underwriters
are after Billy" Woodward's scalp and
will probably get it.
Aid. Rollins has decided to try for
denomination in the Twelfth ward, and
among others who will try for the same
plum is James Mccall. The latter gen.
tleman was formerly an inspector OF
the health department as Democrat.
That paving is needed on NicOllet
avenue was made painfully apparent
yesterday morning during the circus
parade, when one of the mammoth
wagons got into hole and came within
an ace of topping over The condition
of The paving between Fourth and Fifth
streets is disgraceful to say the least.
On Fourth street near Nicollet it is also
in bad shape. 1t would serve the city
right TO be obliged TO pay III few dam
age suits for ruined horses. broken
limbs, etc.
The editors of Town Talk announced
yesterday that next Saturdays issue
will number $4,000 copies, and contain
full list OF the 1000 Minneapolis men,
bers of the A. p. A. If this statement
be fulfilled. there will be some tall
lying and denying OH the day of the
publication.
The long-haired Pops will meet this
morning at Labor Temple to nominate
"man fer kongriss" and full county
ticket. DIR. Clark. the dentist who
shocked the dentists association by
breaking all ethical rules and throwing
broadcast bills advertising his business,
is candidate tor congressional honors.
There are other candidates in the field,
but the doctor appears to be in the lead.
Wagers were laid last night that the
Populists, before they adjourn, will
adopt resolutions coudemning the ''plu-
tocratic and mOnOpOlistic" press.
John Waldo Perkins claims to be
"strOng" candidate among the Repub
licans for the office of associate judge of
the municipal court. John must have
fallen asleep and imagined his
'strength' among the Republicans, for
1t is not apparent to the naked eye.
President A. L. Ankeny, of the
board of education, stated in an inter
view yesterday that he was ''agin" the
movement TO place another woman on
the school board. There is no need of
another member with skirts. he says,
and there are great many people who
agree with him.
S. NJ. Owen, the Populist who will
make the gubernatorIal contest this
year with the others, left last night for
Boston, where he will take "a much
needed rest" The chances are that he
went away to avoid being present at
the Populisu convention. which is
scheduled to come off this morning.
MIR. owen, it is understood, does not
take kindly to the chickering's that have
been going ON among the faithful of
late.
