LOCAL OPrIoN and Constitutional Re
form are great questions for the people to
grapple with. They are moral and po-
litical questions. and while they are re-
ceiving large share of public attention,
the fact cannot be concealed that John 8.
Grsybill is stocking one of his large
store rooms in the palace with COM
plete assortment Of Hardware, and next
week expects to open it to the public
That will then be the place to buy Hard
ware.
ABOUT o'clock on last Thursday af-
ternoon smoke was seen issuing from a
small yard in the rear of Tilten 4 Espen-
schade's store-room. The alarm was
given by those who discovered the smoke,
and a rush was made for the place, where
fire was found briskly burning. How
it got there is a mystery. The discovery
at that early stage was most fortunate,
for had it remained undiscovered a few
minutes longer, the store and stables in
the rear would all have been on fire, and
the brisk wind that was at the time blow
ing from the northwest, would have crea
ted disastrous fire
