ard with mustachc like French veteran.
He is man of very decided views on all
subjects and is especially orthodox In poll

ness in his convictions ard the vigor with
which he maintains them he is u man OF many
friends for ::unly men, even though some.
times obstinate in their opinions, have tho
force of character that win admiration and
friendship.
So a few months ago when the news came
IL his old associates on the Board of Trade
that Mr.. Shepard had received a stroke of
paralysis and that the probabilities were that
his days of usefulness were over, and that
perhaps, his hours were numbered, the deep.

Minnesota Appointments.

Van, the Washington correspond

writes as follows concerning federal
appointments for Minnesota:
IF the Minnesota delegation does
not hold caucus and reach an agree
lnent ON patronage affairs, 1t is not
likely that the president will pay
any attention to those who seek
office from that state"
This statement was made ny a
member of the delegation this after
noon.
6 "Nearly all Of the members realize
this fact. and will agree to go into
caucus to settle the rnatter," he
added. II think Tawney will take
the lead in endeavoring to have a
caucus, and something will he done
within a week."
Representatives Fletcher and Nor
ris said they had heard nothing al
such q movement. 1t is more than
likely, however, that the attempt
will he made. Whether Senators
Davis and Nelson will go in and
abide by the majority vote on all
appointments is a question. Up to
the present time only one fedel al ap

made-that of receiver of the Crooks

There was considerable political talk
but there was no speaking for the Demo-

why no speaker was sent here is because
