T MPOSSIBLE as 1t really seems,
there was time. which Is within
the memory of men still living and
moving in the active throng, when the
inhabitants of Chicago were fed from
the outside world and would else have
starved. That time was between 1888
and 1896. so recent Is the date of the
establishment of agriculture In the
Northwest. From the beginning of or
gained business and social life in 1893,
onward to the acceptance Of the city

First Large Elevator.
The first large elevator in Chicago
was built by j. & f. Buckingham, the
brothers-in-law of Solomon Sturges,
who soon became interested with them.
They lee eed from the Illinois Central
Railroad for the period of ten years the
ground where the Illinois Central ele-
vators now stand and put up elevator
A, with a capacity of 100000 bushels.
This was in 1866. Two years later they
erected another, elevator b. of equal
capacity. For both the power was sup
piled with a Corliss engine. The space
between the floors for the storage of
grain in bins was enormously lncreas-
ed above what had been seen here be
fore, and consequently the height of
the buildings was dizzy. They were
the only objects that could be seen
against the sky from almost any part
of the city. They were veritable sky
scrapers. They were wonder. No
public man from abroad and no visit
ing board. committee or pleasure eXcur-
sion ever got away from the city with
ont having been taken over the great
elevators.
At that time railroads had multiplied
and penetrated in every direction into
the country-there were railroads even
beyond, a little distance beyond, the
Mississippi.-and the grain growing
area had n good deal Increased. Chi
cago was the leading grain market.
There was demand for still other Gle
vators. Between 1853 and 1861 half
dozen of these huge elevators and
number of small ones were erected. All
these went under the names of indiyid
ual firms, but the most of them were to
q large extent under the control of the
different railroads. Under cover of
these firm names. or largely so. the
Northwestern Railroad, the Rock ISL
and Railroad, the Burlington and Qun-
cy. the Illinois Central and the PennSyl-
vania Railroad companies had each its
system Of grain elevators. They were
all built on about the same plan as the
first SturgeS elevator. All together they

Alleged Malpractice.

Attorney-General Coope ~ who
takes lively interest in disbarment
proceedings-has caused Attorneys
Jas. X. Kaulia and j. M. Kaneakua
to be cited to appear before the
Supreme Court on the 10th inst,
and there show cause why they
should not be found guilty OF mall
practice by an alleged attempt OF
extorting money from Chester A.
Doyle, lean blood be gotten out of a
stone?)
The case as set forth in the Attor-
ney-General's petition to the Court
is briefly this: "Chester Doyle went
to Lanai while ago. While there
it is alleged that he entered a kule-
ana and had two fine kou trees,
valued by the defending attorneys
at 5000, cut down and sent to Homo
lulu. Mr.. Kaneakua who was in
Lshaina wrote to Mr.. Kaulia in
Honolulu instructing him to demand
$4,000 in damages" from Doyle or
threaten him with criminal proceed
ings for larceny in the first degree.
Mr.. Kaulia went to Marshal Brown
20 find out whether Doyle had any
property, and was answered that he
had-his salary. Negotiations took
place according to the letters OF the
attorneys, and the $4,000 we're re-
duced to $500. AS that amount was
not even forthcoming, it appears
that the threat OF arrest was to be
carried into effect.
Mr.. Doyle is out Of town, but
prior to his departure he laid the
matter before the authorities and
hence these proceedings.
Messrs. Creighton and Correa will
represent the attorneys cited.

AN OPEN LETTER.
oarl Klemme's Version Of the Flag
Episode.

To the Pubiic;---
In order to correct the false re-
ports that have been circulated
about my action with reference to
the flag incident" OF July 4th at the
Orpheum Hotel, wish to state that
in the morning Of that day had the
German flag hoisted on my flagstaff.
While eating my breakfast, mob of
thirty or forty persons, headed by
Mr.. John West, surrounded me and
threatened dire vengeance IL the
flag was not hauled down. My wife
became so scared and intimidated
that she ordered one OF our employees
to take down the flag and put the
American flag above it. This was
done and seemed to pacify the mob,
but not desiring to be ordered about
ON my premises, | applied to the
authorities for protection, which was
accorded me in the shape OF four
officers and l was told that / could
take down the two flags and put up
any colors saw it, l again raised
the German flag with the result
that, as soon as the four officers had
left to be relieved, Mr.. West again
lead mob, which took possession
of my house and in most bolster
Gus and ruffian like manner the Ger
man flag was torn from the flag staff
and replaced by some bunting which
had used to decorate the building.
Revolvers were fourished, foul Ian
guage was used in presence OF the
guests OF my house and for time
pandemonium reigned supreme. 1t
is reported that / had the German
flag above the American on the same
flagstaff, and wish to deny this
report most emphatically; neither
on that day nor on any previous
occasion have l so arranged the two
flags. AS born German and citi-
zen OF that country, believe that /
am justified, both legally and NOR
ally in displaying my national colors
on any day see fit, just the same as
British subjects did on that same
day in this city, and as U. S. citizens
do upon occasion Of the Queens
birthday both at home and abroad.
