AN Obj Sc rTLER.- LIN that memorable
year, so fruitful in extraordinary events,
1867, young man from Hoosierdom
cast anchor from a prairie schooner in
the Sank Valley, about three miles south
east of the present site of this city, and
commenced an energetic dispute with
the Indian and the wolf for title to exist
ence, and applied himself to wrestling
from the virgin soil subsistence and com.
potency. That young man was Samuel
M. Bruce, and from that day to this he
has shown his abiding confidence in the
locality of his choice by throwing himself
actively into every enterprise calculated
to benefit and advance the interests of
the community. After sixteen years
of hard work upon his homestead in
terrupted only by patriotic services in
defense of his country, serving four years
at the front, he engaged in the mercan-
tile business in this city, then village, and
his name has ever since been prominent
one in business circles. Hisintegrity and
enterprise have made for him troops of
friends and there is not a business man
the city more universally esteemed
than Captain S. M. Bruce. Commencing
the grocery business in 1873 alone, six
years later he associated with himself c.
T. Harmon. under the firm name of Bruce
& Harmon. A little more than a year
later this partnership was dissolved, and
S. M. Bruce continued the business by
himself The next year he built the cor
ner store which he now occupies. In
1882 he became associated with his
brother-in-law, Clarence Layman, and
the firm of Bruce & Layman continued
two years, when Mr.. Layman retired.
In 1887 v. M. Thomson purchased a
halt int crest, and for nearly four years
Bruce & Thomson have been prominent
dealers in groceries and boots and shoes.
In 1882 the Bruce block was extended
by the addition of two more stores equal
in size and similar in style to the original
building, and to-day the Bruce block is
not only an ornament to the city but a
monument to the enterprise OF its owner.
With the commencement of the new
year, change takes place in the Arm,
George Fish, son-in-law of Captain
Bruce, succeeding Mr.. Thomason, who
retires with a reputation any man may
well envy. Courteous. energetic and the
soul of honor, he has scores of friends
who wish him success in whatever occu-
patton he may conclude to engage in.
The new firm of Bruce & Fish succeeds
to a splendid business, with the conf
depce of the entire community, and this
confidence will meyer be betrayed. Mr..
Fish has been six years resident Of the
city, engaged all of that time in the agri-
cultural machinery business with his
brother, and during the past two years
member Of the firm of chas. Fish 6 Bro.
He has wide circle OF acquaintance, is
popular and highly. esteemed, and the
new firm will essay continuance and
increase OF public confidence.

LODGINGS.
NICELY FURNISHED Rooms.
15c. Csc, 35c. soc and ST..

''Now, why" asks the uninitiated reader
of the placard, 'ShOuld any man In his
sober senses pay dollar for bed In
that beastly hole, when a leading hotel
will furnish him with a good one for the
same money!"
Investigation shows plainly enough
why this is done, and proves at the same
time that the time has arrived for the
eradication of these places. and the
erection by the city of a building to be
conducted purely and singly as lodg-
ing house for the poor, which shall be
made to pay its running expenses by
imposing the lowest feasible price for
accommodation offered. The cheap
lodging house of the present uses the
poor devil looking for a 15-cent bed, as a
blind for the nefari0uS business con-
Quoted within its walls. This class OF
patrons are herded together like swine
in a large apartment house. separated
only by thin board petitions into stalls
just large enough to contain cot. Inc
beds are dirty, the walls are sWarmlng
with vermin. the atmosphere is eXecrable
because no effort at ventilation is made.
Up stairs though. There's where the
dollar end of the story comes Ill. Here
the rooms, while making no pretenSe at
sumptuousness, are at least possible.
They are decently carpeted and toler-
ably we'll furnished. In them are
nightly carried on the most disgraceful
orgies conceivable. Many bedrags led
scarlet woman dragged into the central
police station for street walking, could
trace her ruin to the combined lnf1u-
ences of the wine room and the cheap
lodging house. Any interested person
who cares to spend an hour watching
the doorways of these places between
the hours of 10 and IL O'Clock on any
night in the week, will walk away at
the expiration of his vigil, convinced
that vice is rampant to an extent OF
which he had never dreamed. 10 cut
the matter short, the places are assigna-
ton houses in the full meaning OF the
term. That they flourish is evidence
enough that they are patrOnized. The
wine room evil has decreased since the
crusade was inaugurated against them
by the police. That the attention is
now to be given to the kindred evil, the
cheap lodging house, will meet with
the approval Of every one interested in
stopping the wholesale immortality now
prevalent.

A TYPICAL ENTERTAINMENT.
The Teachers Social Evening at
the Association.

Tic 1SSOCIdOlOH-
On Wednesday evening, at the state
capitol, a programme, consisting of
music and readings by local and foreign
talent, was rendered for the delectation
of the teachers in attendance at the
state teachers association. The $50
cial evening"" as it is called, is peculiar
to the Minnesota association, and is a
suggestion of State Supt. Kiehle. The
programme was arranged by FL. S. Ba-
ker, of the Jefferson school, who pre-
sided. at the request of the president,
l.. G. Lord, who resides at Moorhead.
The first number. duet, by Misses
Minnie Smith and Clara Henton,
was very pleasing. 1t was from
the Tuscan folk song en-
titled Nearest and Dearest"
Miss Lulu Belden was the accompanist.
Miss Henton's voice is contralto OF
rare power and expression, and she is a
favorite with st. Paul audiences. Her
solo, 1.-The Watcher" held the attention
and delighted the audience, which was
one of the most Intelligent ever assem-
bled in the city. Master Charlie Heber-
hart and Miss Garnet Butcher, pupils of
the public schools. sang duet, Emily
and john" which required some dra-
matte talent, and the audience demand
ed recall. They were drilled by Miss
Hattie E. Ruddy, of the jefferson, who
presided at the piano, and both did
themselves much credit. Lizzie Downe
spoke "ScotlaDd's Maiden Martyr"
with much feeling, and showed
natural gifts as an elocutionist
Miss Minnie A. Smith, who gave two
solos, showed a voice that was very
clear and strong on the highest soprano
notes, and the solo 1.-THE Flower Girl"
brought out its capacity very fully.
She studied year with Prot. Nelson
Burrtt, who has great faith in her fut-
ure as vocalist. and wisely so. Prof.
w. w. Pendergast read ''How Ruby
Played' as only he can, and his hearers
were convulsed. Miss Leonora Austin
recited 1.-The Mouse Trap" one of How
els best hits of humor. She never did
better, and arecognition of the applause
was not enough, but she must read
again. Miss Lulu Jones, of Black River
Falls. Wis, at present teaching elo-
cution in the Northwestern uni
versity at Evanston, Ill.,, gave three
selections. Although quite young, she
showed wonderful talent as a reader,
and while her selections ranged from
such tragic piece as Wallace's Chariot
Race, to so light humor as the Widow
Doodles, she seemed equally gifted in
all, and easily carried her hearers in her
portrayal of emotions. The evening
was delightful one to all, and encores
were the rule. All the participants
were at their best, and all showed
special gifts.

Public sentiment. as expressed on the
street and about the city generally, was
with the police in the effort being made
by that department to root out the evil
existing in the cheap lodging houses.
All are ready to admit that the 15-cent
lodgidg house conducted as such, and
for the benefit OF the very poor, may be
a necessity. The fact is plainly appar-
ent, however, that some of these places,
while ostensibly catering to the accom-
mediation of people whose purses are
light. are actually hotbeds of vice than
which no more disgraceful were ever
allowed to tiaunt their dirty price lists
in the face of the public. A trip through
one of these places is sufficient to con-
vince the most verdant visitor that they
are not what external appearances
would make them seem. There seems
even at first glance something irrecon-
cilable in the Illuminated announce
ment surrounding the narrow doorway
of the cheap lodging house. Hele it is:

The st. Paul School Furniture COM
pany, corporation, yesterday filed a
deed of general assignment to E. A.
Hendrickson. An action in the munic-
ipal court by the Northwestern Fuel
company, and the garnishment of funds
in the Germania bank precipitated the
assignment. The officers OF the COM
pany are Charles Ill. Pratt, president;
Charles A. Dunn, vice president and
manager; Mark E. Bohrer, secretary
and treasurer. 1t was stated by rep
resentative of the corporation yesterday
that the inability of the corporation to
collect money to meet pressing demands
is the cause of the assignment being
made. The assets of the corporation
are about $4,000, or eight or ten thou
sand dollars more than the liabilities.
1t was also stated that it is expected
that the concern will be able to meet all
of its obligations and resume business
in a short time.
The Northwestern Book House, a cor

FATALLY HURT.
John Egan's Skull Fractured by
Collision With q Grip Car.

Collision With Grip Gar.
A man named John Egan, as discov-
cred by papers found on him, was
struck by cable car at Seven corners
last evening and terribly injured. Egan
stepped aside to avoid an electric car
and encountered the cable. He was
struck on the head and his skull frac-
tured. He was promptly removed to
the city hospital, where he now lies.
Where the injured man resides is not
known. He will probably die.
