Dear Sir: I devoured your last novel, "Why Are We?" with great pleasure Yours truly, The entertainment which was given by Mars Lodge last Monday evening was a very enjoyable one for thoe who remained ti indulge in the terpsichorean excentricities. There was howevr con siderable di-appon tment on account of the failure in the musical program The committee is unanimous in ttie opinion that the artist who caused the disap pointment will not be given another opportnnty to do the like. The music and supper furnished were both very fine, and the atfdir was a financial success. The following appeared in the local items of the Pioneer Press, Thursday "An eff is being made to secure the appointment of a Coloied delegate from Minnesota to the national Republican convention, which will be held in Mm neapolis next summer. The names of Fred McGhee and John Quincy Adams of tins city and A Miles of Duluth are among those mentioned as being the choke of the Colored people of the state for that position." It would, perhaps, be the fair thing to do, to send an A fro-American to the Re publican national convention as a dele gate at large from Minnesota, as one is credited with having a great deal to do with securing the holding of the conven tion in Minneapolis.

It has been stated that Mrs. Davis is on all around tough and that she was considerably surprised that she, a white woman, should have to be locked up for shooting a "nigger." Judge Otis would not issue an order for her removal but Sheriff Bean took the responsibi'ity In order that she might be properly guarded Sheriff Bean assigned the ma tron of the jnil to attend her at the hos pital. It is hoped for the pabe of the sheriff that she may not escape while at the hospital. $**5**5**$M5**5t*5M$#,$,,$,*5**5*$^5**5*$$*$$J-'J'$5**5* Remember White's Jubilee Chorus. y ^J^MMM1 Monday and Friday Nights at The Church of Good Shepherd, Corner of Cedar and 12 streets.

For many years after 1649 the service of the Engl sh Church on every recurring 30th day of January was devoted to com memoratinn of what was called the mjrterdora of Charles the Fust. Char les lost his head, and England was ruled for many 3 ears alter by Oliver Cromwell because Charles S uart would not keep any promise made to his people. Other people have lost their heads for the same reason. The phrase "losing your head" in these daj has not such a ser ious meaning as two hundred and fifty years ago, but implies becoming confused getting rattled, EO tr.it a man's head, a* the seat of his reasoning faculties, is of no use to him. A good way to avoid losing your head in the conduct of your daily affairs is to do business only with concerns that are reliable, and conduct their affairs with sjstem and regularity. Any promises they make you can rely on. In the same way, w'hen you take a mrney. place yourself in the hands of such a first-clas railroad as The Burling ton, and you lose neither your head, your connections, your sleep, your bag gig% your time, nor y. temper.
