AN EARLY CONVENTION.

The Winona Republican comment
ting upon the presidential chances of
Senator Davis, says among other
things: ''lf then Minnesota candi-
date is to be at all benefited by the
support OF his own state, the conven-
tion to select delegates to st. Louis
ought to be held early. Furthermore,
to secure the best results attainable,
the delegation should be made up, so
far as possible, of persons who have
had more or less experience in public
life and who have some acquaintance
with the public men Of the country.
By this we do not mean present men,
bers of cOngressain either branch, for
we think it is the general desire of
the rank and file of the Republican
party of the state that the delegates
to the national convention shall be
composed of men who have no per-
yonal axes to grind, and who may be
depended upon to consult, first Of all
the interests of their party, and,
incidentally thereto, the interests OF
the particular candidate whom the
state convention when held shall
designate as It's primary choice. That
this will be Senator Davis there ap-
pears no good reason to Doubt

BUSINESS COLLEGE CHANGE.
Prof Matter Disposes of His Interest
to w. e. Freeman.

Prof. Matter has practically con-
cluded negotiations whereby he dis
poses of his interest in the business
college to Prof. w. E. Freeman. We
understand that the change will not
take place until June 1st.
The sale was nearly effected last
year, but Prof. Freeman had engag-
ed as principal Of a school and the
board would not release him. Re-
Gently the negotiations have been re-
newed and there will be no obstacles
in the way of transfer at the close
Of the present school year. Prof.
Brandrup will retain his interest.
The college is in very flourishing
condition, as result of the vigor and
push Of the present managers, and we
have no doubt but that it will con-
tinue to grow and merit the patron
age Of the surrounding country.

passenger traffic from Mankato, and
would not like to go to much expense.
A date for meeting would have to
be made later. A letter from
President Hughitt referred the
depot proposition to the Omaha Of
ficials. Dr. Andrews thought that
the Omaha road was willing that the
other roads should come into the
depot.
w. M. Farr said that from talks
with officials he thought that the
Omaha desired to own the depot, in
stead of union of ownership.
John Klein said that he was sure
that if the Omaha and G. & n. w.
roads build a depot the Milwaukee
would build as good one two blocks
south. We would be better off with
two than one.
M. B. Haynes said that one depot
would be better.
DR.. Andrews said that the com
mittee was not working for union
ownership, but to get the roads to-
gether into one depot.
The report was accepted and the
committee continued
On motion of Mr.. Haynes, the COM
mittee was instructed to arrange for
a general conference ia st. PaulthiS
week, if possible.
Jno. Klein reported on the
Guenther Hill Improvement that the
committee had met with success
The report was accepted and the
committee continued.
Mr.. Haynes, from the special COM
mittee on scales, reported progress.
1t had appeared before the council,
and there was fair prospect of Sc
curing the scales.
DR.. Andrews said that he thought
the extension of the G. & n. w. road
to New Ulm this summer is as sure
as the Omaha removal.
Engineer Haynes and w. M. Farr
thought that this was so, from what
they had been able to learn.
DR. Andrews brought up the matter
of the Norwegian saengerfest, but it
was allowed to lie over until the next
meeting, as the Commercial club has
the matter in hand.
There being no further business,
the board adjourned, after thanking

FROM OUR SPECIAL MAPLETON
CORRESPONDENT.
MAPLETON. Feb. 9. 1896.

4ihl bEloH>. W. lOOOs
Fire last night swept six of our
north side of Front street stores and
leaves nothing but smoldering debris
today. Browns pioneer store build
ing was the first TO go, fire breaking
out in the grocery department Of the
building occupied by Srhoyen&Sonne-
many think in the hall above occupi-
ed by secret societies, but it is a mere
conjecture as to the cause of the fire.
For time it seemed as though it
could be held but soon all hopes of
combining it TO that building was given
up. The next building was Browns
ness store, with Maurice Hoskins lv-
ing above; next came Mrs. DeitZ's mil
linery store, which, with so much fire
coming upon them SO suddenly, kept
them busy carrying stocks of goods
from the two stores aud they left their
household furnitare and clothing to
is severely felt. BY the time the lire
reached John JOhnSton's store they
had the building stripped of it's con-
| tents and the same of George Cranes
building occupied by Ira Moore with
Racket goods. Here the fire was re-
pulsed by the new OddFellows' build
ing which is of brick and two stories
high though it caught in the casing
of one of the up stairs windows.
This burns six of our prominent
stores, though the probabilities are
they will be rebuilt, still it will take
years to replace the property de-
stroyed. For while it seemed as
though il would sweep across the
street and then, there would be no
telling where it would end. Spauld-
ingS creamery building depot and Car
gill's low elevator caught fire from
| lying sparks, b. sides many more
buildings, boxes u. FOODS too numer
Gus to ment"", Il many acts Of
bravery was d ed by firemen
which could not well be written. Our
! fire department worked we'll but the
cOnf1agratiOn wa> to large for us to
handle, so help was asked of Mankato
and Wells, but il took too long to fire
the engine and get started to do US
any good, as the ii vas only two
hours long. 1t is said today that the
firms are fully insured, and that the
buildings will soon be rebuilt, but it
is a calamity severely felt.
