The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1900-09-07

The first term of the St. Paul law
school begins Sept &c. The capital city
has special advantages for a school of
this kind. Students have a chance to
enjoy hearing arguments in the leading
state and federal courts; of having access
to the state law library, and of seeing
how laws are enacted by the legislature.
Sessions of the new school will be in the
evenings.

cattle and hogs, applying himself with
the same earnestness and energy that
| characterized his efforts in the armed
field and peaceful office Wouldn't it be
a sight for him to view the display at
| the Minnesota state fair.

Detroit baseball clubs, according to the
Inter Ocean, Patterson did not give a
base on balls, hit a batter, or have a
