MINNIE'S THINKS, !
ST. PAUL, MIMI. Aug, 25, 1903.

ST. PAUL, MIMI, Aug. 25, 1908.
At last after much delay the St. Paul
Carnival association announces it's net
results. Though it took in So, 1000 in
two weeks it is in debt $500 and the
public baths get nothing. At the end
OF the first week the committee said
that if they took in $4,000 the baths
would get $500 as all expenses were
paid by the first weeks show. When
it is all over it is discovered that the
expenses were S33, 900 instead of SIS. 600
as estimated. Isn't that lovely finan-
ceerlng? Fortunately the fasco puts
an end to all such events in the future
and that is worth something. Still it
would be interesting to know what be-
came of that 1872, 900 in two weeks.

The governor and his appointees
have started forth on trip of ''inspec-
tlon' to the State institutions. Messrs.
Johnson, Olsen ct al. are developing
very sudden interest in our institutions
as the expiration of their terms draw
near.
Librarian Nelson admits that G.. A.
Smith has turned down the efforts of
his friends to get him into the guber-
Material fight.

Ie gods, the Dispatch says it will
support Senator Clapp. What new
game is Tom Lowry up to now?

Marcus D. Mum confides to a friend
that he has been hampered in the
merger suit by his associate counsel.
The great man should certainly be
allowed free rein.

Governor Van SAINT isn't counting on
Oar Reese or Fred Schiffman for par
ticularly enthusiastic support next
year.
Gus Widdell's boom for CONGRESS
seems to have collided with a water
wagon somewhere and needs to be
hung out in the sun to dry.

The State prison Irvine plant has
made net profit of half a million dol
lars since it's inauguration.

Ed Young seems to have put tenn
porary stopper in the Dispatch cam
paign Of abuse.
Geo. Matchen hasn't been at the
State capitol for three days. Can it be
that the third term boom is taking a
needed rest?
The national reunion of the army of
the Philippines will be held here next
week and it will be one of the greatest
conventions of the year. 1t will be
worth while being in St. Paul then.

Minneapolis milkmen have organized
and will sell but sixteen quarts for a
dollar. The worst of it is that the
higher price is no guarantee against
water.
The new State capitol is getting on
well toward completion. There seems
no good reason why the next legisla-
ture cannot meet there. Three hun
dred men are working daily on the
building. If every citizen of Mime
sofa could go through this magnificent
building there would be no kick on the
four and one-half million dollars it is to
cost. 1t is worth every cent of it and
will be a credit to Minnesota for a
century to come.
The country press does not take
kindly to the St. Paul Dispatches at
tempt to scare the people of the State
by it's wild, weird yarn about the mer-
ger combine.
A. T. Koerner is back from Europe.
He says the homecoming was the best
part of his trip. Mr.. Koerner while
impressed with the great progress
made in Germany says the United
States is the only place for a man to
live. In the old countries mechanic
gets SIS a week and laborer about
$2.75 week and yet think themselves
fortunate. In Germany he saw women
yoked up with COWS at work in the
fields. The foreigners say that Ameri-
cans make too much of their women.

Are you coming to the State fair?
You can't afford to miss it.

There has as yet been no overwhelm-
ing rush on the part of the people to
give the Republican party platform
into the keeping of Messrs. Lowry and
Mum.
