supports Striegle and the chilnren, and
occasionally gets black eye from her
drunken husband by way of reward.

said prominent real estate man in
West st. Paul yesterday, there will be
none here for several years, and | may

the better it will be for the prosperity
of the ward. The demand now is ex-
clusiyely for property for imme-
date Improvement. l never saw a
time in this city, nor any
other that was ever in, when building
was more active than it is in the West
right kind of activity, and ten times
more beneficial than any boom could
be. There are more buildings under
contract, more improvements being
made generally in West st. Paul this
summer than ever before in its history"
