Citizens of Howard Lake and vacinity

to take place next Tuesday. There viii
be from four to five hundred men in the.

clairvoyant has stirred up small sensa-
tion by predicting 8 big fire in this city
during April lasting two days and the
worst ever Witnessed here. Many of the

west, SO declared G. A. Pil|sbury, before
the legislative Investigating committee
last Saturday, and there is, no question

premises. Not only is this true Of the I
present condition OF things, but for years
past-a sort of rule or ruin policy has ex-
listed SO far as elevators go Mr.. Pills.

The elevator and railway com panies
now under Investigation by committee
appointed from senate and house at the

looks as though the present committee
would never be able to prove that fact
not without another $1,000 appropri-
alton at least from q legislature to come. |
There is little left Of the present S 10000
and the defense will have to 20 hungry
for awhile. One thing has become very
certain, the state is going to be the only
real sufferer ia the wheat investigation.
