Hannah Brothers Have II Factory in
Connection With Their Exhibit.


Those who have never seen cigars

opportunity when they visit the street

booths are decorated as nearly complete
as any at the fair. and the tissue decor

scene is one OF the best electric signs
ever seen in the city. There are go in.

to his strength Is the fact that Nash
and McHale mutually agreed to sup
port the candidacy Of the other in
case 1t was to go to either st. Paul or
Minneapolis. If. therefore, it were
give INTO McHale 1t would, next to the
selection Of Nash himself please pos
s1bly the large backing the ST. Paul
placed elsewhere. Mr.. Lamphere, Of
Moorhead, has the railway employees
organization at his back, and that
may catch the governors eye. 1t is
certain that Mr.. Lampheres work will
call for recognition sooner or later, if
he is not given the labor commissions
ership.
For superintendent of public instruc-
ton the question is still a matter Of
conjecture. possibly contingent on
where the labor commissionership
gees. If this does not come to St Paul
then Prof. Farnsworth, who has more
recommendations perhaps, than all
the other-candidates put together, Will
be selected. Neither Prof Hyde's as
p1rat1ons nor those of Mr.. Engstrom
stand any chance of realization, ac-
cording to common belief. When Mr..

LEGISLATIVE GOSSIP.

The eager haste of the Republicans in the
senate to railroad through the resolution ap-
pointing a committee to consider bills con-
corning the placing of state institutions under
a board of control has aroused some suspicion
as to the provoking cause.
Ordinarily senatorial courtesy" Is more
than a figure of speech, but yesterday. In
the absence of Senator Schaller who is in
terested as much any man in the 'upper
house" In the insane hospital matter, es-
pecially, ms notice OF debate was oyerridden,
Senator Potter its author, and Senator
Seballer were on opposite sides of the
house In the celebrated hospital fight of two
years ago, but the former disclaims any in
tention of discourtesy to Senator Schaller
of course.
.h There may az be some question about the
formation 1t required by the Stoclweal reso
luton from the oil inspection department
especially with the Republican Incumbent
hcans in the senate disposed to put oh
stacles in the way Of the inquiry at that.
Chaplin Joselyn in the senate made a. dis

was less than half minute in length.
A group of the older members of the house

opinion that c. A. Severance had worked
himself up to fit of nervous prostration. In
