G. o. Daley will have P. H. Jordan's
vote on the start and hopes to get
those of Messrs. Taylor, Meyer and an
other later. w. L.. Comstock will have
Mr.. Weeds vote at first, and Mr..
Schmitt will have Mr. Meyers vote at
first. Mr.. Schmitt hopes to get the
votes of Messrs. Weed and Leonard
later, and if a tie comes will hope for
the mayors vote. Mr.. Daley will also
nope for the mayors vote in case of
tie. Mr.. Comstock hopes to gather in
enough votes after few ballots to Sc
cure the ceyeted prize. A number of
ballots are likely to be taken, and the
second choice of the aldermen will de.

Mr. Currier continues to receive the
calls of those who are seeking for places
under the incoming administration.
He stated to Free Press reporter this
afternoon that he does not expect to
have his appointments ready when he
goes into Office next Tuesday, and pro-
badly not for some time after that. He
realizes that the success of his admins
tration will depend largely upon the
character and ability of the,men whom
lac appoints to the. various offices, and
he will give his appointments
the utmost consideration Said he: Il
am letting other people do the talking
while l do the thinking. Some of the
men whom I would be the last to APP
point are the'most importunate for Of
fee. l desire to find some really
capable and satisfactory men who are
not seeking the appointments by con-
tinuous personal interviews"

1t is said that that one of the candi
dates for'appointment as chief of po-
lice worked hard forLanother candidate
for mayor. From the number of peo-
pie who now claim that they voted for
Mr.. Currier, it is remarkable where the
other candidates got half the votes that
the judges accredit them with.
Thus far, not single Populist has
= applied to Mr.. Currier for an Office, a
fact that is not only astonishing but is
pleasing to the next mayor,
Two new names were on peoples
tongues today in connection with the
Office of chief of police. They were
those of Perry Rutan and E. J.
Sheldon. Mr.. Rutan was marshal of
LeSueur for six years and Mr. Sheldon
was at one time a very efficient officer
on the Mankato police force, and was
afterwards humane officer Either one
would make a very satisfactory chief
Mr.. Rutan is being urged to seek the
appointment and has promises of strong
support.
Rev. S. d. Works has been placed on

In talking of the new deal, a saloon
keeper said today: ~ shall be satisfied

it would have been fair to the men

them some money, even if it wasn't

money because the ginmills would
get most of it, That may be posi-
BILE, but the "cranks" should remem-

soldiers, perhaps on their way o a

Much Ado About Nothin q.

There was very fair audience at
the Opera House last evening, and
the excellent production of Much
Ado About Nothing was highly ap.
preciated.
The talented artists have not vet
become familiar with the acoustics
OF the theatre, aud in many parts of
the House it was difficult to follow
the lines.
Miss Waldorf's Beatrice was far
above the ordinary rendition OF that
difficult role and she was applauded
enthusiastically by the audience.
The talented actress was ably sus
tanned by the rest OF the company,
and the audience enjoyed a very
pleasant evening.
On Saturday two performances
will be given. Pygmalion and Gala
tea will be presented at the M atinee
and Lady of Lyons in the evening.

Music of the FiIipinOs All Pitched in
q Minor Key.

Minor Key.
G. c. Carlton in Indianapolis Sentinel
Philippine music is becoming popular in
Washington. Returning voyagers to the
far distant islands have introduced it here.
Like the Hawaiian, 1t is distinctive, and
characteristic of the national life of the
people, though without doubt an adapta-
ton of the sweet and melancholy music of
the Spaniards. Flute, violin and harp are
the favorite instruments as in the Italian,
but it Is not like the animated music of
Italy. The liveliest strains of the Fnipi-
nos are pathetic and melancholy in tone
So, too, are the titles of most of their mu-
steal compositions, as, for instance Los
Dias Ultimas del Verano" c'The Last DAYS
of Summer" THE Wall of a Lost Sou,
THE Approach of Autumn"
The harp twangs softly, the violin bow
is gently drawn, while above all floats the
wall of a flute, which rises and falls In
melancholy cadences. This music speaks
as eloquentIy to the foreigner as to the ma
tive. THE Approach of Autumn 1t
is so plaintive and inexpressibly sad that
you can almost hear the rustic of forest
leaves, or the signing of autumn zephvrs
through the pine trees.
Church music, too, is of the same plain
tive character. All pitched in a minor key
The writer had the pleasure of hearing
