ticians, who answered the invitation
of the civic federation of Chicago to
be present at the recent conference
held in that city to discuss trusts, only
three held to the theory that the
tariff is responsible for trusts. This
is looked upon as somewhat remark
able, as only flew years ago some OF
the leadings supporters of free trade
were to be found among this class OF
meu. But the events of the past few
years have opened their eyes as to the
effect of the protective policy and in
studying the trust question, they find
that there are other forces which are
exerting much more power in build
ing up the giant corporations than is
the tariff.

the most good for the city. 1t is pro-

see it to be to their advantage to as
sist in the project. Probably 10000

1t is said that the Florida orange
crop will be about 100000 or $50, 900
boxes, or a shortage of 500. 900 boxes
as compared with the crop few years
ago. This diminished yield is said to
be entirely due to the frosts of last
February which either winter killed
or set back several years about two
thirds of the trees of that state. The
quality of the fruit is said to be su-
perior to that of last year. The
Florida cropis likely to be entirely
marketed before the expiration of the
Christmas holidays But though the
Florida crop is short, lovers of the
golden fruit are not likely to suffer Of
a scarcity of it, as the California crop
is estimated at about $4,000 carloads
as against 10000 carloads for last year.
There is also said to be goodly sup
ply of Jamaica oranges, and Of a very
fine quality.

NEW HOTEL.
MankatO May Have One Next
Year.
Geo. Peter Hoerr Contemplating Build.
ing q Big One, to be Leased by
Fred BOehmer.

Mankato is TO have new hotel next
spring if present plans are carried out,
and it will be the second largest in the
city, and probably almost as large as
The Saulpaugh. The gentleman who is
contemplating the erection of this
structure is George Peter Hoerr, one of
| the wealthiest and most level headed
business men in Southern Minnesota.
Mr.. Hoerr has three business lots in the
block opposite the Chicago & North
western freight depot that are lying
idle and have up to the present time
been source of outgo instead of in
come, because unimproved 1t is upon
this property that Mr.. Hoerr proposes
to erect a hotel that will be creditable
alike to himself and to the city. He
has contemplated for some time put
ting up building of some character,
but up to the present time has been un-
able to secure renter.
The new hotel is to be leased by Fred
Boehmer, the prosperous proprietor OF
the we'll known Front street restaurant
and lunch counter. He has agreed to
lease the building for period of ten
years and will furnish it himself. He
has built up reputation in the culinary
line that will serve him in good stead
in the hotel business.
Mr.. Hoerr will build the hotel largely
according to the wishes of Mr., Boeh-
mer. 1t is now proposed that it shall
be four stories high, with frontage of
not less than sixty-six feet, and run
ming back to the alley. 1t will be
lighted by electricity and heated by
steam, and will have upwards of sixty
sleeping rooms and suites. The dining
room will seat 1875 guests, and Mr..
Boehmer proposes to be prepared to
handle crowd whenever there is any
thing special going on in the city.
Mr.. Boehmer had some negotiations
with I, A. Pelton last summer in re-
gard to leasing new hotel to be built
on the site of the present Minneopa
House, but these are now off. The To-
cation of the proposed new hotel is
good one.

SERIOUS FIRE.
The Mill Elevator at Lake Crys-
tai Burned.
A Loss of $4,000 Incurred, Partly Gov
cred by Insurance. The Origin
Unknown.

Graft Bros mixing elevator, located
close to their flour mill at Lake Crystal,
was totally destroyed by fire early Sun
day morning. The fire was discovered
at about three o'clock, and was then
under such full Roadway that it was
impossible to say in what portion of the
building it was started. The origin of
the fire is unknown.
The fire department responded to an
alarm and accomplished good work by
preventing the fire from spreading to
the mill and other large buildings in
the vicinity The direction of the wind
was also favorable to saving the mill,
and by hard work the property was
saved, although a number of window
lights were broken by the heat, and
sashes were blazing at several times.
Men were stationed on each floor with
hose to keep the heated wall flooded.
The firm roughly estimates its loss at
$4,000, which includes about 81, 900 on
building and machinery and $4,000 on
grain. There was stored in the elevator
at the time of the fire between 5000 and
10000 bushels of wheat, which will be
practically total loss. The loss on
machinery will be total.
The elevator was insured in blanket
policies covering the entire mill prop
erty, and taken out in millers' mutual
companies There was an insurance of
$4,000 on the grain, carried in four
companies. The machinery was GOV.
cred by the blanket policies. 1t is prob
able that the insurance will total 81,

II is Said TO be the Roads Purpose to
Have it Extend From st. Paul
TO St. James. 'r2a

There is well defined report in cir
culation that the Omaha road is pre-
pairing to double track its line from st.
Paul to St. James. During the past
year or two large amount of money
has been expended by the road i'm
strengthening out curves and lessening
grades all along this section of the line
and wherever this has been done the
new grade has been made wide enough
for a double track. Thus the cut at
Mendoza has been graded for an
other track, and the grading
from Blakeley to Henderson has been
made wide enough to accommodate
two tracks.
That double track would be advan--
tageous is apparent from the immense.
amount of business being done on this
division of the road, which is likely to
increase with the opening of the new
branches that have been constructed
the present year.
The Omaha road is one of the best
managed in the country, and no divi-
sion of any road has a superintendent
who is more prompt, energetic or palms.

to run three daily trains from Omaha,
to California, cutting down the time to-
San Francisco three hours and fifteen
minutes and to Los Angeles four hours
and fifteen minutes.
The personally conducted excursions
to Southern California, over the Omaha,

Frank A. Day, of Fairmont, was in

pleased with the increased facilities of

this city will secure much trade from

acters taken from life of the street, and
is enlivened by specialties. There are four
acts and ten sets of scenery, by John H.

set represents an old distillery and shot

of the metropolis, is given, of course, with
an insinuation of the vendetta and the

Shakespearian Revival

Wagenhals & Kempers production of
1.-THE Winters Tale will be the most pre-
tentious Shakespearean revival OF recent
years. In season which promises many
big scenic productions it will be among
the most important and conspicuous. EY-
erything that pictorial and scenic are can
supply has been bestowed on the produce
ton in a prodigal manner. The play will
be done in five acts and twelve scenes. Tho
first scene will represent '"lhe Portico Of
the Palace of King Leontes in Stella"
Act II will show Queen Hermiones
Apartments" 1.-The Gallery of the God
Apollo" and the storm Scene on the
Coast of Bohemia" In each of these
scenes color has been used with splendid
effect The storm scene is particularly
realistic and effective and will be remark
able from its free, bold beauty. In act
III where the trial of Hermione takes
place will be represented the court in the
Sicilian palace, which will be shown with
marvellous diseernment of color and scenic
illusion. In the change of light at the
climax of the trial is promised an especi-
ally beautiful effect. One of the most
beautiful and effective scenes will be The
repository of Art in the Palace of King
Leontes." This scene will be notable for
its instructive value in an historical sense,
and for elaborate interior detail has never
been euualled.
The entire production is by Bradley ana
