THE MARKET QUESTION.
Warm Times Predicted for Harlow
Gale,


There promises to be hot times for
Harlow Gale in the near future. Yes,
in less than thirty days move will be
made on him by certain members of the
council to close up his Bridge Square
market July l. According to the men
who propose asking the council to take
some action, HarloW's lease of life on
Bridge square will expire July instead
of Dec. as previously published. This
will be decidedly unpleasant for Har-
low, who can beat the record of the
most pleasant man that ever lived for
genuine personal comforts. TO add to
HarloW'S diScOmforture in this market
muddle the price held by the owners of
the present bail grounds is too high,
and the grapevine brings the sad intel
hgence that Harlow has given up
the idea of ever securing that
block for market purpose. He hopes,
however, to secure the block diagonally
across from the West hotel, bordering
on the railroad tracks. With not much
money in sight, possibility of being
closed out in thirty days with not even
a market shed to cover his form, the
fall outlook for him is not very flatter-
Ing.
Ialklng about market ordinances, and
what led to the establishing of MAJ ket
Oh Twelfth avenue south, it looks now
Just as prominent citizen said yester-
day, that the scheme was pushed
through the council for the purpose of
having that big block exempt from tax
alton. A good many schemes have been
railroaded through the city council since
the Democrats lost their majority there
Few such schemes as this found their
way through the local legislature
when Bernard Cloutier, Lawn" Phil
lips, Charley Hanscom and others were
members of that body. 1t was then
that eight hours constituted a days
work, and several thousand dollars
saved the city in the water department
alone. After the next election the peo-
pie will have little more to say about
things there now.

A FLOATER FOUND.
The Body of Man Discovered at
Irwin Lake.

a report was made to Coroner Byrnes
yesterday that two boys who were fish
ing at Irwin lake had seen the body of a
man in the water, partly buried by the
sand at the bottom. He visited the
place, which is about seven miles from
Minneapolis, but was unable to find any
trace of the body on account of the
roughness of the water. A further
search will be made whenthe conditions
are more favorable. 1t has been sug-
gested that this tloater may clear up the
mystery surrounding the disappear
ance of Fred 3. Matthews, the book
keeper for George B. Kirkbride, who
was last seen one night last winter near
this place and of whom nothing has
since been heard.

Many Changes Talked of in the

1t is reported that upon the mayors
return to the city there will be num-
Der of changes in the police force. For
some time time past there have been
complaints to the effect that this depart

fulnesS or were useless from other
causes, and it is now proposed to drop
them out and replace them with good
material. There are about 400 applica-
tiOns on file in the mayors Office, and it
is believed that new appointments will
be made TO the number OF about fifty.

itatively learned here that by the end
of this week the famous report of the
grand jury which is investigating the
tragedy at the parish prison and the re-
suit of whose labOrS has been so anx-
iOusly looked forward to, will be pre-
sented to the public. The jury has
been at work on the matter fully q
month now, and a large number of wit
Eesses have been examined from differ
ent walks in life. The government at
Washington in its correspondence with
the Italian government has not failed
tc impress upon the latter the fact that
the grand jury of the state of Louisiana
was the supreme authority as to whether
there should be a prosecution or
not, and the gentlemen of the jury,
who represent the leading commercial
interests of the city, are fully alive to
the international aspect of the case.
The jury held its last session on Friday.
On that day it adjourned until Tuesday
morning. 1t is learned that between
300 and 400 citizens would be summoned
