When Mr. Greenway was in the East he told certain brokers rep- resenting large capital that the prov- ince would guarantee the interest on the bones of any company undertak- ing the work on condition that the company should promise a rate of 10 cents a hundred on wheat from Win- nipeg to Duluth, 10 cents a hundred on coal the other way, and a reduction of 25 per cent in other heavy freight, such as groceries, hardware, etc. ‘Two sets of capitalists are said to be figuring on this proposition. But the matter that is occupying the at- may meet. It is said to be a new and independ- ent line. It is called an airline, but to get business it will be compelled to vary somewhat from a direct {course. It is learned that the premier has decided to swing far enough north | from a direct route to cross the lower waters of the Big and Little Fork rivers, the principal logging streams ofthe northern part of the state. The Manitobans want to haul Ameri- can logs to Winnipeg and saw them up there, or get lumber sawed in Northern Minnesota, so that they can get cheap lumber.

DRUGGIST BANKER FINED. Must Pay Thirty Dollars for Practicing Medicine. ‘J. B.

The convention of the bimetallists of the Ohio valley. held in Cincinnati on Tuesday of this week, was a4d-| dressed by Hon. Charles A. Towne, and the reports of his speech show that Duluth’s ex-congressman was in one of his eloquent moods. The Cin- cinnati Enquirer says: “The feature of the morning’s pro- ceedings was the marvelous speech of | ex-Congressman Towne. He fairly carried his audience off their feet. He was eloquent, earnest and imbued his hearers with his own indomitable spirit of enthusiasm. Probably no orator who has ever been in Cincinnati was a more perfect master of Englis! speech, but with the greatest deli- cacy, yet deadliest effect,he employed prussic acid, and the audience was spellbound by his eloquent oratory.” In giving a report of the speech the Enquirer says: “Col. Washington, in a few complimentary words, presented Hon. Charles A. Towne to the audi- ence. The brainy young ex-congress- man was given an ovation, which lasted several minutes. He spoke tor more than an hour, and when he finished there were loud calls of ‘Go on! Go on! Mr. Towne began with praise for the speech of Col.!

He expressed the hope that the Democrats, Silver Republicans and Populists would be found to- gether shoulder to shoulder this fall iu the common cause of humanity.” Open Air Concert. The Grand Rapids brass band have | been practicing regularly for some time, and on Monday evening will) ”* give the first of a series of open air concerts in the new band stand op- posite Hotel Pokegama.

It appears that Congressman Morris has omitted the Herald-Review from his exchange list. Every paper in the district last week contained an an- had been received by the editors from the congressman informing them that be has ‘now at his disposal a limited number of Farmers’ Bullet-} ins:containing valuable information in all branches of) agriculture, and that he will be pleased to furward the same to all parties making applica- tion at once, by postal card.” No such letter has yet been handed us by our private secretary, and a strong suspicion is finding lodgment in our editorial mind that this great mold- er of public opinion has been deliber- ately snubbed by the Sixth district representative. And that’s too bad. him. While nearly every member of the delegation from the lower house hus a can- didate for this commissiunership, Secretary Bliss has informed them that.under the civil service rules, none of their candidates can be appointed, and that only Hall can bave the place that Baldwin holds, by reinstate- ment under the service.” And then read this: “There appears to have been a change of sentiment at the interior department within the past twenty-four hours with reference tothe removal of Chippewa Commissioner Baldwin. Yesterday members of the Minne- sota delegation were assured that Maj. Baldwin would be removed and ‘Dar’ 8. Hall reinstated to his former position. “Today un official of the department said Baldwin had madea good record during his incumbency, and that his removal was not so certain as has been represented.” MORRIS MUCH ALARMED.

There has been a flerce contest for this place, and Congressman Morris will have a difficult task on bis hands. He desires to appoint Senator Culkin, of Wright county, but is alarmed by the strong protests from hi& friends in Duluth.” Mike Gillon and His Money. The Dututh News Tribune of Tues- day last reported that ““M. M. Gillon of Grand Rapids telegraphed the police that he had lost a pocket dic- tionary in the Union depot in which were two checks drawn to him, one for $600 and the other for $100, and asked to have payment of the checks ordered stopped at the banks.” On Thursday the same paper stated that the police were notified that the pocket. dictionary with two checks amounting to $700 reported to have been lost by Mr. Gillon had been found at the St. Louis hotel, where he had stopped while in Duluth, and the property was sent by mail to the owner.
