Local Bosses Meet the Journeymen In
 Conference.
 Last Saturday evening. as was agreed, several boss bakers met at a Union street 10 confer with the executive Committee of Bakers Union No. II The meeting developed into q very enthusiastic one, and several bosses agreed to make their establishments union in the future. Several new names were enrolled on the membership list. The bosses who will run union shops in the future are: NJ. Iessler, State street; William Sites, Con- gress avenue Aug. Schafer, Congress avenue, besides those reported last week. The advisahility of impressing each loaf with the Unions device instead of attaching the label was considered, and 1t is probable that such bosses as prefer to have their bread stamped may thus designate their bread as union made
 The regular meetings of the Bakers Union will hereafter be held in Trades Council Hall. ,69 Chapel street, every second and fourth Saturday, instead of at 19 Union street, as formerly.

bred feet in depth, in which was an ele-
vatOr. The two sections of the tunnel
unite at this point, which is working
headquarters, and here the material is
lowered in and the refuse hOiSted out.
The exploring party, clad in rubber and
each with lantern, descended by the
elevator and traversed the entire length
of the tunnel. Seeing all that was to be
seen, and taxing in the difficulties and
mysteries of this underground exploit.
When it is completed, which will be
in July, if no accident occurs, the sewer
tunnel will extend to the river at Eighth
avenue south to Sixth avenue north, a
distance OF about mile and half, and
will have cost about 100000. At pres
ent the extreme northern end is at the
Shaft between Third and Fourth ave-
hues north, back of the elevator, where
the cave-in occurred in November, and
which has since blocked the progress of
the tunnel. When completed the tun-
mel will end in a we'll at the intersec-
ton of Fifth street north, and
will drain nearly all the northern
and northwestern portions of the city.
1t will not, as is generally supposed,
convey Bassett's creek away. This is
ridiculous. Bassett's creek is about on
a level with the river, and if 1t con-
nected with the tunnel the latter would
be flooded at high water; it is proposed,
however, to have gate connections with
the creek. so that the tunnel can be
flushed when necessary, but that is the
entire relation Bassett's creek will bear
to the great tunnel.

CONTINUATION OF OUR
GREAT ANNUAL SALE
SHIRTS! COLLARS!
AND CUFFS!
The Plymouth Clothing House,
MINNEAPOLIS.

During the past week this great
annual sale has attracted great
crowds and gone way ahead of all
expectations. Some of the lots sold
so rapidly that we were obliged to
telegraph East at once for more, in
order to keep a full complement of
sizes, so no customer could go away
from the store disappointed in not
finding the required size.
The aforementioned annual sale
being eagerly looked forward to by
the residents of Minneapolis and
vicinity, We are most happy in be-
ing able to state that after two or
three months busy preparations,
and securing the markets of the
East, we have at last secured q
make of goods absolutely perfect in
fit and finish, and we are now in
position to name prices that will
eclipse all former efforts.
Owing to the extreme cold weather
which has prevailed in this section
of the country for the past two
months, we deferred our annual
sale of
