Robert Holmes was arrested yeSter-
day OIL a warrant sworn out by ElwesS,
the milk dealer, who has recently been

tising in the police columns of the daily
press. He is charged with fraudulently
collecting certain moneys belonging to

Several new cases of scarlet fever are
reported from Augusta street, Stryker
avenue and South Robert street. A
prominent West side physician states
that unless a campaign is in1Agurated
by the health department against the
decaying filth which encumbers so
many of the vacant lots and alleys in
that part of the city, there wilt undoubt-
edly be an alarming increase in the
mortality from fever this spring.
There is an able-bodied rumor that
the new packing house at South St.
Paul will open on April with a full
force. The matter is being kept very
Qniet for some reason, and those who
should be best informed claim to be
utterly in the dark. 1t is certain, how
ever, that 10000 tons of ice are con-
tracted for and being stored, about
5000 tons having already been cut.
Several complaints have been made
that the West Side Ice company is stor-
ing ice cut from the river in its ware
house in West st. Paul, from which the
supply for consumption for drinking
purposes would necessarily be drawn
during the summer. A reporter made
rigorous inquiries into the matter, and
found that only the bottom tier of
blocks is being taken from the MissiS-
sippi. Assistant Health Inspector Hen
Erickson said:
1--WE are aware that the bottom tier of
ice is being taken from the river by
these people, but no harm can result, as
it will have melted before that above it
is used up. We are watching this mat
ter closely, and any attempt to store
river ice for sale will result in the i'm
mediate arrest of tire parties impli-

Preparations are being made for the
laying OF sewer and water pipes Oh
Stryker avenue. A large number of
teams are now engaged in hauling ma
terial for the work.
The West Side Citizens union is al
most a dead issue. Much regret is eX-
pressed that the organization has thus
deteriorated, as much good has been
accomplished by its agitation of various
questions of vital Importance to resi-
dents of the Sixth ward.

made for the Hebron Baptist church
entertainment to take place this even

General satisfaction is expressed in
West St. Paul that the high bridge up
