THE RUSH IS ON. Wednesday's Journal: The

rush Elondikewards from Minne­apolis is beginning to assume gen­erous proportions. One outfitting store yesterday provided twenty-seven men with outfits. Every window that can show anything relating to the Klondike, whether it be a nugget or a leather suit, is surrounded by gaping crowds. The Northern Pacific put a dummy Elondiker dressed "to kill" in its windows this morning, and the sidewalk was soon blocked.

McCrady, the Dawson City man who left the Klondike on Dec. 9, and came out 011 the ice, is a nine days' wonder at the Nicollet House Some forty people sent him their cards this morning.

Stillwater Gazette: Van Sant's greatest strength comes from the fact that he is near to the people. This fact was amply demonstrated in his ante-convention contest in 1896, a contest which has passed into history as beiug one of the most stubbornly fought political battles ever known in the state of Minnesota. Van Sant's nomina­tion and election will not jeop* radi*e Senator D&vis' chances for re-election in the least; on the contrary if 'one may judge from the past, we would say that with Van Sant as governor, Senator Da­vis would be less liable to opposi­tion itom the southweast corner of the capitol than with any other man we know of in the guber natorial chair. It is a long time until convention time and great changes may take place, but at this writing the Van Sanfc colors are way in the lead, with excel­lent prospects of remainiug there.

The Minneapolis Journal cor­respondent in Washington writes concerning the lumber duty: "The members of congress from Minnesota and Wisconsin are not at all alarmed at the efforts of the Michigan ring to secure a reduc­tion of the duty ou lumber by rec­iprocity agreements with Canada, by which logs can be exported from. Ontario to be sawed up in the Michigan mills. Any special rec­iprocity treaty, under the pro­visions of the McKinley law, must be ratified by both houses of con­gress. Lumber is a competitive article, and it has always been the policy of the Republican party to include no competitive articles in a reciprocity treaty. It is im­possible, they claim, to negotiate a reciprocity treaty on the basis of reductions on the duty 011 articles imported into this country that come into competition with articles produced in this country."

The worst snow storm of the sea­son visited Little Falls Thursdav night or Friday morning—the exa$t minute that the visit was made In Jn dispute. But the »now was here this morning. It was piled upon the sld*-walks In drifts against the spike-heads. Pedestrtanlsm was difficult on the streets, and the sparrows waded about nearly up to* tlieir ankles in snow. Citizens were unable to teach the West side depot, mid IHJ trains are running 011 the Mississippi & Leech Lake railroad. It ^vas the worst that lias happened.

The storm of Friday has abated The planter* who took the precau­tion to cover their baiiuna plants with cheese-cloth were wise In doing so. because there was danger. These precautions are advisable during such inclement weather. However, the recent storm di:] not in the least injure the crop where no protection was provided. The impression is growing that the banana t» thoroughly acclimated. A few iced bananas command good local prices, but nature has not aided in supply­ing any this seuson.

The costs in the case of the State against Dana Brown, charged with using language tending to provoke an nssault, were assessed to the camplalnant, Wm. von Domarus, on the ground that it was malicious prosecution and without probable cause.

A horse belonging to an old man named Kaestuer, of Pike Creek, be­came frightened as he wa* being driven down First street Saturday afternoon. The bold-back straps broke, and the buggy .ran against the horse's heels, causing him to kick and run.

The buggy was broken to someextent and the horsa became detached from it. The animal was caught by the police before he bad run very far.

Harper's Weekly of Jan. 21. pub­lished a three page article with Jl-iustrations'about "wide-open" Chi­cago. The first of several portraits published is that of Solomon Van Praag, the saloon keeper, who celebrated as the man who "touched. Croker."

Charley Towne Is mad because he wasn't allowed to take the tiniM ol a house committee in attacking a bill that was under consideration. And when the committee reports it to the house he will still be barred from talking to the body that has ii under consideration. Probably Towne appreciates what he missed by flopping out of the Republican party.

Recent reports in regard to Mr. Sterling, formerly station agent here, bt-ing promoted to Detroit, Minn., are somewhat misleading. Arrangements were all made for the transfer, Mr. Sterling had even re­ceived word to take that station, when a message was Bent to him that the transfer would be deferred indefinitely, so he is still agent at M01 ris.
