Denver, April From now until mid
night next Monday the legislature VIII
be in almost continuous session. All
bills that failed to pass second reading

its place is gone. Everything is being
sidetracked tor the appropriation bills.
The house committee brought up
twenty-four appropriation bills his
morning under special order, though only
one passed on second reading and two
on third. A new conference committee
was appointed on the charter bill, but
the measure is practically killed.
In the Senate the row began early by
the adoption of a number of adverse
committee reports. The authors of some
of the displaced bills howled loudly.
Senator Barela led the attack. The
Senate rejected the adverse report on
the $1,000 appropriation for laboratory
at the School of Mines and referred the
bill to the committee of the whole. The

MANKATO, Mimi, May pat s
o'clock this morning fire broke out in
the l.. Patterson Mercantile company's
wholesale grocery, burning the entire
contents and buildings. The building
was three stories high with basement
and was crowded with groceries and
other stock handled by grocers. Stone
and brick were used in it's construction
and it was one of the best business
blocks in the city. The stock was val
ued at upwards of $4,000, and building
about $4,000, making total loss about
$65,000. Against this loss is an insur-
ance of nearly $4,000. The origin OF
fire is unknown, but proprietors think
rats and matches may be accountable
for confagration. The business is
owned by Lester Patterson & Sons,
Archie, Eugene and Hugh Evans. Their
business is a large one, several men
being constantly engaged on the road.
The company have secured other quar-
tiers temporarily and Monday will be
at work again. They will rebuild at
once. Two frame buildings ON either
side were crushed in by the falling
walls. The ruins have been smoking
