The Orleans private hotel, kept by
Mrs. Caroline Jamison, was quite badly
scorched early Monday morning. The
hotel is a frame structure. The fire
started in the kitchen, undoubtedly from
the cooking range, and burned through
the house in the roar portion to the
! roof. TIE furniture in the front part Of
the house was covered with tarpau]ins
and was not greatly harmed, but consid-
cradle damage was done by water in the
| back part of the building. The loss is
estimated at q 500, and is fully covered
by insurance.
Another mysterious disappearance is
the case of Daniel E. Richter, stenogra.
pier Of the Peoples Savings and Loan
association. He left his place of bust
ness week ago Saturday, saying moth
ing about an extended absence, and has
not been seen in the Office since. Moth
ing improper is known in his relations
with the loan association His address,
as given in the directory. is 81 Ninth
street south, but nothing is there known
of such man. There is report that
he left with some travelling stereopticon
exhibit, but nothing further is definitely

The socialist party of Minneapolis is
organizing for business, and it is alto
Rether likely that it will present can
didate for mayor at the next city cleo
ton, and may nominate an entire city
ticket. There is also talk that candi-
date for governor is to be placed in the
field at the next state election. Social
lists differ with the Peoples party on sew
eral' important issues. For instance, they
take no stock in the silver question.
They hold that paper money is the
thing, and that it should be issued by
the government directly without the in
tervention of the banks.
After short meeting Tuesday after
noon the joint council committees on
ways and means and water works came
to the conclusion thai it would be inn
practicable to commence work upon the
new reservoir for the present, or at least
until the spring season had fairly set in.
This decision was reached after con Or
ence with the city engineer, who advised
that work be postponed for time on &C
count of the fross which has frozen the
ground for several feet down. This de-
oision, however, will not necessarily pre-
vent the preliminary work from being
carried on, and the contract for the ma
terials and the piping may be let soon.
