MINNESOTA NEWS.
VIII Lose Their Votes.

There are many voters scattered
over the state, particularly in the cen.
trail and northern part, who are be.
moaning their fate because they can.
not assist in shaping the politics OF
their individual districts.
They have filed claims on govern.
ment lands, many of them curing the
past year, and are consequently
obliged to acknowledge their claims as
their residences, which deprives them
of voting at the election next month.
The United States land offices at St.
Cloud, Marshall and Crookston have
recorded big increases in the number
OF homesteads filed upon this year.
and at the rate government land is
being taken up there will be little left
in a short time.
There is no loss without some small
gain, however, and the homesteaders
realize that their claims are increas.
ing in value according to the rapid
rate in which the north is being
opened up. Business is pushing to-
ward the northern boundary of the
state at a rate, highly gratifying to
those who have claims.
Grades Established.
The Minnesota State Board of Grain
and Warehouse Commissioners met
and agreed upon basis of grades for
this year. The rules of last year were
mainly renewed, but few changes
were made. Last year it was allowed
to mix with the number one hard
wheat from the Red River Valley five
per cent of red winter wheat. This
resulted in loading the Red River Val
ley wheat and virtually depressing it's
price. This has been changed this
year by adopting the rule that any ad-
mixture of other wheat will cause it
to grade as mixed winter wheat.
Fine Appearance.
The fair grounds present an un-
usually fine appearance this year. The
rains of July and August came at the
time when the grass is usually just
beginning to dry up in this vicinity,
and they have been so numerous and
frequent that the fair grounds look
ike part OF the city park system.
The trees, too, are in fine foliage, and
have added another years growth
since they were examined by the pub
lie last. Secretary Randall has seen
to it that the walks and drives have
been kept in good order.
ADuel with Razors.
Donald Gray and Marcus Hutchin-
son, colored, armed with razors,
fought bloody duel at St. Paul, and
the former may die from his injuries.
The men began quarreling over a
girl, and before any one was aware,
they were slashing each other fright
fully. The men fought until Gray
fell exhausted from the loss of blood.
He was taken to the hospital, while
Hutchinson was locked up. Gray is
horribly lacerated and cut about the
face and body, and it is believed that
he cannot live.

"Three Little Lambs"

Three Little Lambs" a musical comedy
IN two acts, the libretto by r. A Barnet,
is booked for English's Friday and Satur-
day OF the current week. The engagement
also includes a Saturday matinee. r. A.
Barnet. the author, Is famed for his 1889
and Jack and the Beanstalk." The pres
cnt production comes direct from an en-
gagement OF fifty nights at the Fifth-aye-
nue. Theater. New York, where it received
emphatic Endorsement as an entertainment
OF the first rank. 1t is written in a more
ambitious vein than the popular author
has heretofore attempted and might well
constitute the Hbretto of the most roman
tic OF romantic operas. but. as developed,
only the humorous phases are presented.
The story is OF a young man, whose de-
votion to his sweetheart leads him to for
felt q fortune, enter the navy and go TO
Porto Rico TO battle for his country, all
at the Dehest OF bis LADY fair" The plot
also concerns the atrocious processes of
David Tooke, Hungry Jim and Phyllis,
known TO the police as The Three Little
Lambs a recklessly crooked trio. Odd
humor manifests itself throughout the
piece in all sorts of unexpected places, and
the fads of the day are gently. but none
the less cleverly. satirized. For instance,
the advanced woman question is delicate
1y touched upon in the introduction of a
bank with fits feminine directorate under
the COntTOl OF a SQTeWQ commence man.
The prevailing craze for playing golf is
recognized by the advent of a golfing
party headed by President Bulger and
Secretary Putter, of the st. Ana
Mas Golf Club, who have the
most extraordinary scores to report when
ever occasion arises. Other fads are
touched upon In an equally def manner,
though an occasional audaciously extrava-
CANT episode proves that the author is able.
when so inclined. to deal heavy blows at
contemporary follies and foibles.
The music is by T.. w. Corliss and is said
20 be bright and catchy, the kind that
remains in the memory long after 1t is
heard. Miss Nellis Braggins. as the 'Jol-
lily Girl" sings THE Bugaboo Man." as
sisted by two OF the cleverest ~pickanin-
mics sver seen. Miss Clara Palmer sings
1.-The Man Behind the Gun and does a
bewildering dance.
The organization is a notable one, in
clu6ing many favorites, and numbers over
fifty people. In addition to those already
named. IL comprises Marie Cahill, Ray
mond Hitchcock and Edmund Lawrence.

dent and secretary Of the st. Ananias Golf
Club.

"The Sorrows of Satan." which made
uch a hit at the Park a few weeks ago,
will return to that house Thursday after
noon Of the current week to remain three
days, with daily matinees. Readers Of the
famous Corelli story of the same name
seem to be pretty numerous among Park
patrons, judging from the large audiences
that greeted the play on its previous ap-
pearance. Charles Kent, whose handsome
appearance in the role of Prince Riminiz,
the Satan" of the peace, will be readily
recalled, is still with the company. So also
is Emily Dodd, whose impassioned appeal
for the princes affection made a profound
impression. The play will be given with
the same picturesque scenery and inter-
preted by the same excellent cast as on
its former visit. There are four strong
acts. and the novel is followed as closely
as rules of dramatization will permit. The
production is owned by William A. Brady
and under the personal direction of Arthur
G.. Aston, who established himself firmly
in the good graces of Park attendants by
his beautiful version of "Tennessee's Pard-
ner," which has been seen and enjoyed at
the Park for several seasons.

"CAMILLE"
Will Be Seen mt the Grand Opera

There have been more requests by the
patrons of the Grand Opera House for the

novelty and has been seen here frequently,
this state of affairs is somewhat unusual.

Three days OF Robert Downing-to-mor-
row. Tuesday and wednesday. with a pop
ular matinee Wednesday afternoons the
next attraction OF note at Eng
lish's Opera House. Mr.. Downing
IS making a wide departure this
season from the character of roles he
has been long associated with by his adj
mirers. Heretofore he has been seen al
most exclusively i'm classic tragedy imper-
sonations. This season. however. he Is
starring in a new pastoral comedy drama.
from the pen of j. c. Nugent. The pro-
duction is thus modestly characterized in
the advance notices: ITO those who have
been misled so many times by managers
who state that they carry carloads Of
scenery. great companies, magnificent cos
tunes and have thousands or dollars in
vested in their enterprises. when the re-
suit proves their statements false, we say
that we do not carry carloads OF scenery,
we have not thousands of dollars invested
In this enterprise. nor have We any beauti-
full costumes. We simply have a play that
We think will please you. We have a
company that we think will do justice to
the work called for in the play, and the
costumes worn are such as you see every
day on the streets OF your city, just plain.
everyday clothes, just plain. everyday
people and just q plain play, ealing with
the plain people whom Lincoln loved. ="
Such candor in this day of glowing press
agent stories Is certainly refreshing and
deserves the reward of liberal patronage
at the hands of the public.
Mr.. Downing rehearsed the company
presenting An Indiana Romance and
feels confident that those who witness the
play Will find 1t to their liking. 1t is not
claimed to be a classic piece. but a simple
tale, dramatically told, where the heart
plays a big part, where tears mingle with
laughter and one goes away feeling better
and stronger TO face life and its dull reali-
ties.
