LEON, Jan. 2, 19OO.-Dr. b. l.. Eikcr. rep
resentative-elect from Decatur county, is
sues the following statement this afternoon.
He has maintained the position all the tine
that he desired to ascertain ana carry
out the wishes of his constituents regard
ing the senatorial matter. Some canvass
Of the situation was made, and great pres
sure was brought to bear upon him to de-
clare L-imself.
on December p, when in Des Moincs, the
doctor was induced TO issue a statement
that upon the showing so far made it APP
peared to him that the republicans Of his
county desired TO see Cummins elected.
That statement was made, however, with
out a fun showing regarding the wishes
of his constituents, but it was such as
would be representing the wishes of his
constituents in such action by voting for
Cummins and Eaton.
Immediately upOn that statement being
made public the republicans Of Decatur
county appeared to he very much surprised
at the Doctors attitude. and assured him
that he was mistaken regarding the mat
ter. They have since SO besieged him with
petitions containing the names of over 800
active republicans who desired senator
Gears. reelection, and by letters and per-
sonal interviews that he has become con-
WINGED that he was mistaken regarding his
earlier impression, which was favorable to
tummins, and that the real sentiment Of
MS people-especialiy of the republicans of
Tor Gear and DR., Bowen,
The doctor has the manliness To say that
II Is ms duty under these new conditions
to reconsider the earlier intention and to
carry out what ne now believes to be the
real wishes of his constituents. He does
not think tat II is his duty, merely be-
cause he has given an indication that at
that time and under existing circum-
stances he would favor Mr.. Cummins and
Mr.. Eaton, tat he should refuse to do
what he now Is convinced Is his real duty
in the matter. He therefore authorizes THIS
final stdtment that he will vote for Senator
Gear and su99ort DIR. Bowen
There is no doubt but that the doctor is
amply justified in such action, and n is
extremely probable that If the Gear peo-
activity in making known their real wishes
before such first announcement of the doc
tor as they did after, that no such an

PALACE WIDENS FIELD.
MAGNIFICENT RECEPTION ROOM
TO BE OPENED EASTER.

For the Easter holidays the Palace
Clothing House company, of this city,
will throw open most extensive and at
tractive annex.
The entire frontage Of the new addition
will be on East Seventh street, extending
east from the we'll known and commo-
dious store room of the Palace, and will
embrace a total additional floor space of
4,400 square feet. 1t was a busy scene
there yesterday when a reporter for the
G o b e was shown through the new
apartment Everywhere were workmen
actively engaged in rapidly converting
the building into one of the most at
tractive clothing store rooms in the city
of st. Paul. Mr.. ]. G. Simon, the sue
House company, explained in detail the
many and varied improvements now in
process of completion. He said that so
rapid had been the increase in the bust
ness of the company that it had been
found absolutely necessary to secure
more room. The present location, corner
of Seventh and Robert streets, could not
be improved on and so the only way to
secure larger quarters was to absorb
other and adjoining property This had
been done and the people of St. Paul
would soon be given the benefit of the
Improvement
The new additional floor space will be
devoted exclusively to childrens and
boys clothing. This arrangement will
more than triplicate the present accom-
modations of the company 1t will be
provided with a handsome and elaborate
ly furnished reception room for ladies'
including all modern conveniences. There
will be handsome chairs pictures, books,
desks and stationery for the use of
customers.
ut will be our AIM" said Mr.. Simon
to at all times keep these rooms as
nearly light as day as possible. 1t
will be Illuminated by a large number of
arc and incandescent electric lights, in
Guiding the new prism and 100-hour burn
ing lights
In this mammoth addition to an other,
wise extensive salesroom will be placed
one of the most complete assortments of
childrens and boys clothing ever brought
west of Chicago. The removal of fhe
stock now on hand from it's present To-,
cation will make room for a large adj
didon TO the stock of mems clothing.
This apartment is also to be enlarged and
