How We Grow.

Minnesota will be found to have pop
ulation of 100000 at the next census.
State Superintendent Lewis is willing to
guarantee that the figure will not fall
10000 below that.
In 1895 there were 352, OO2 school children
in the state and the population by the
state census was 1,574,619 In 1899 the
school population is $4,000, and the total
population on the same ratio is 1,7660OO.
The annual increase of school popula-
ton is S,000 equivalent to an increase of
$4,000 approximately in the number of in
habitants. If the ratio holds, the popu-
lation next year should be returned at
1,S1O, 900.
According to the present apportionment
Minnesota will gain two congressman by
that figure, but it is quite certain that the
basis will be raised next time, as congress
is already rather unwieldy.

Baseball.

1t is learned on excellent authority that
st. Paul and Grand Rapids are not the
only cities to be dropped by the American
Gate Westerly League next season, ac-
cording to a dispatch from Milwaukee.
The plan now is to drop Minneapolis also
and take in Louisville, which will make
Milwaukee the extreme northern end of
circuit to consist of Milwaukee, Chicago,
Cleveland, Detroit Indianapolis, Buffalo,
Kansas City and Louisville. There is
hitch about Minneapolis, as the magnates
are shy about letting Saulpaugh out, but
this will be smoothed over, if the deal
goes through, by giving the Minneapolis
magnate an interest in the Louisville
club. ST. Paul's fate was settled, that is
as far as baseball is concerned when
Comiskey closed a deal in Chicago for
lease of grounds on the South Side. The
lease was signed and Comiskey is now
working on plans for his new park.

A Murder.

James McCabe was deliberately muir
dered in Dan Sullivans saloon at East
Grand Forks by Bish Dorsey, a colored
porter employed in the saloon. McCabe
was drinking at the bar and he and Dor
sey got into an alteration in the course
of which McCabe called Dorsey a coon.
Dorsey struck at him across the bar and
lodged a glass which McCabe threw at
him. Dorsey then went outside and after
about five minutes returned with a cord
wood stick and running the whole length
of the room struck McCabe a terrific
blow on the head. The man sank to the
floor and died instantly. Dorsey slipped
on his coat and escaped before the dozen
or more men in the room realized what
had happened. He was later caught on
the Dakota side while trying to board
Northern Pacific train. Dorsey is young
married man and has lived in Grand
Forks since childhood. He has been we'll
known as baseball player. McCabe was

This is not allowed on Christmas eve to the

All this comes Of the Pope's great desire
to have the jubilee year marked by extraor-

A FEW BRIGHT SAYINGS.

Loneliness is the greatest fee a
woman has to fight
Every field of labor seems more
fertile than our own
The hardest thing in the world is
to endeavor to be brilliant TO order.
The fragrance of fresh flowers is
the nearest thing in nature to a
caress.
The very thing we wish to see in
newspapers is the item that we are
apt to overlook.
Th- person most suspicious of
auother's actions is generally the
one that needs the most Watching
The longest day is generally the
one when you get ready in the
morning for something that doesn't
occur until night
1t isn't always the girl that wears
the biggest bunch of roses and vic
let's TO the game who knows the
most about football.
Tbere may be some people so inn
oued with anglomania that they
can see something beautiful in a
fog, but their name is not legion.
The fragrance of a flower or a
long forgotten strain of music has
the power to paint mental pict-
ure for us that we thought had
faded into oblivion.
