THE MEMORIAL BRIDGE
HEARING OF CITIZENS IN BEHALF OF
THE PROJECT.
Further Communication VIII BE In
ADMINISTRATIONS FavOring
the Bill.

Representative Rixey Of Virginia headed
a delegation Of citizens appearing before
the House committee on interstate and
foreign commerce this morning In behalf
Of the Memorial bridge bill. Among those
present were Mr.. John Joy Edison, Mr.. E.
B. Hay. Mr.. Frank Hume, Mr.. S. s. Bur-
dette, Mr.. L. G. Hine, Mr.. John A. Joyce,
Mr.. ]. L. Thompson. Mr.. James McCon-
Vile and Mr. NJ. D. Church.
Mr.. Rixey requested that further hear
ing be given upon the bill providing for the
construction Of the Memorial bridge, as
the citizens who were urging this public
measure had additional facts to present
regarding the project
Mr. Fletcher of the committee suggested
that there had been many hearings upon
this BILL and he thought that If there was
anything additional it should be presented
in writing.
The Committees Position.
Chairman Hepburn said he was Of the
impression that the non-action of the COM
mittee on the bill was an indication of the
prevailing sentiment toward the bill. He
construed 1t to mean that while the COM
mittee did not want to go to the point of
making an adverse report on the measure,
their silence meant that they did not favor
reporting 1t at this session.
Mr.. Shackleford of the committee moved
to settle the question by ordering an ad-
verse report on the bill.
Several members demurred to this propo-
sition, and Mr.. Shackleford withdrew his
motion. 1t was then decided that mas
much as the day had been set for another
hearing, it would be inadvisable to
take up the Memorial bridge BILL but that
further communications should be submit
ted in writing.

MILL DESTROYED.
A Heavy Blow to Lake Crystal
Monday Morning.
Graft Bros. -Four Story Flour Mill Gone,
as Well as Electric Light, TeIe-
phone and Pumping Plants.

Lake Crystal received heavy blow
Monday in the complete destruc-
ton by fire of the big four story flour
mill owned by Graft Bros The electric
light plant was located in the building
and was destroyed, leaving the village
in darkness. The power for the water
system was furnished by the mill, and
that is left useless, with the pumping
plant destroyed. The local telephone
company's plant was also located in
the mill, and it is a total loss. So
the village has suffered four fold
loss in the destruction of the one
building, which was by far the largest
and costliest there.
The fire is supposed to have started
as result of spontaneous combustion,
as loud explosion occurred at the
time that it broke out. 1t occurred on
the third or fourth floor at one o'clock
in the morning, and the flames spread
a., rapidly, finding plenty of material to
, feed upon The inhabitants of the
, village were quickly aroused by the
report and by the ringing of the fire
bell, and every effort was made to save
the mill. The fire company had an
abundance of water to work with for
an hour and half, but the flames
slowly gained Roadway and finally
reached the engine room and stoppe
the pumps. This put a stop to any
effective fire fighting but the fire con-
tinued to rage until sunrise. When
the lights and water pressure were
shut off, much excitement prevailed
among the citizens who turned their
efforts to saving adjoining property.
The mill was located close to a num-
Der of large buildings, which were en-
dangered by the heat and sparks.
When morning dawned, the bare and
blackened walls only were left stand
ing, dismal ruin.
The loss on the mill building, ma
chinery and the plants which it con-
tanned is estimated at $50, 600, and the
loss on stock, including grain, -four,
etc., at $40, 600. An insurance of $24,-
900 was carried by the firm. Graft
Bros. expect to rebuild at once.
The mill was erected by Graft Bros.
in 1898 at cost of $50, 900, and had
capacity of $50 barrels per day. 1t
is the second -four mill to be destroyed
by fire in Lake Crystal, besides
grist. The village has been very I'M
lucky in the matter of fires having
suffered far more than its share. The
village is now without fire protection
or light.
The Graft brothers are Henry NJ,
Sandy and Anthony J. Graft. They
were born and raised in Steele county
and were engaged in the clothing bust
ness at Owatonna up to 1898, when
they sold their mercantile interests and
farms and concentrated their capital
into the fine milling plant which they
erected at Lake Crystal. They are en-
terprising, broad minded gentlemen,
who have many friends. Their loss
is source of regret to all, but they
are not the men to be cast down by
misfortunes, and it is safe to say that
they will erect as good or better a mill
upon the ashes of the old.

PATRICK KELLY DEAD.
Brother of Policeman Kelly Passes
Away Monday Morning.

Patrick Kelly died at the home of
his brother, Officer James Kelly, at
SIT North Fifth street, at 40 clock Mon
day morning, of Internal hemorrhages
as a result of stomach trouble. He
had been ill for eight Or ten days, and
his brother brought him in Sunday
from his farm in Mcpherson, that he
might receive good care. -
The deceased was born in Ireland,
and came to America sixty years ago.
He located on farm in Mcpherson
in 1868 and resided there ever since.
He was seventy-six years of age, and
was never married. He is survived by
two brothers and one sister, Officer
Kelly of this city, brother in Detroit,
Mich, and sister at Fond du Lac,
Wis. He was we'll liked by all who
knew him, and his rather sudden TAX
ing off will cause much regret.
The funeral occurred at 10 a. m.
Thursday from st. Johns Catholic
church, and the interment will be had
in Calvary cemetery.

DEFIES RAILWAYS
Governors Action Causes Some
Nervousness.
His Threat to Assemble Legislature
May Interfere With
Bond Sale.
Minneapolis Journal :

Minneapolis Journal:
Governor Van SAINTS declaration of
war against the Northern Securities
company is smooth piece of strategy.
1t is given out at this time for the
purpose of blocking the contemplated
bond issue, if possible Wall street is
extremely sensitive to rumor, and the
report of state interference has already
shaken faith in the new enterprise.
The wires were kept hot this morning
with messages from New York to the
governor. The executive refused to
make public the contents of any of
them, or the names of the senders, but
it is certain that they came from vari-
Gus Wall street interests anxious to
verify the governors position.
1t looks like forlorn hope, but
granting that there is shadow of a
chance to prevent the contamination OF
the great deal, declaration at this
time may block the sale of the bonds
indefinitely. Meanwhile the legisla-
ture might pass additional laws.
Attorney General Douglas is not ex-
pected to return for a week or ten
days. When he left, his health was
poor and he was much run down. He
, is away from human kind and knows
nothing of what is going on. He will
stay in the woods as long as he is en-
ioying himself. Meanwhile there is
nothing to do, and the governors state
ment can have had no other object
, than to throw block in the way and
scare Wall street.
The governor said to the Journal this
morning:
81 cannot tell what will be done till
see the attorney general. When h,
has examined the matter and reported
to mel will know whether anythins
can be done.
Heretofore this consolidation has
been prevented by legislative enact
ment and the rulings of our courts.
Now, if they can get together and or
ganize under the lax laws of the state
of New Jersey and thwart the will OF
the people of Minnesota, the sooner W,
know it the better.
There is deep political significance
in the governors action. 1t means
that he has gone into the ring prepared
for battle with the principal railroad
interests of the state.
The railroads usually try to back ,
winner. Had they been sure of Gov
ernor Van SAINTS reelection, they
would have stuck by him through
thick and thin. But, as usual, wheI
the outcome is doubtful, they hav'
been playing both sides. They die
| 30 last summer,
The extra session matter started al
open breach. The railroads served no
| tice on the governor that if he called
the extra session this winter he might
look for their unqualified opposition.
The Winona interview is his reply
1t is case of meeting bluff will
bluff, and time, will tell which hold
the better, hand. The governor has an
| nounced to the people that he ant
/; James J. Hill are out, and that he ex.
poets the people to side with him a
against Hill.

YOUNGEST AMERICAN ENVOY.

John Barrett was appointed minister
to Siam when only 81 years old. He
was the youngest envoy who ever re-
presented America at a foreign court,
and yet in experience he was an old
man. He had been before that time a
reporter, an editor, college professor
and a world wide traveller.
His energy is apparently unlimited,
like men who drink "Golden Grain
Belt" beer, his nerves never give out.
This beer is brewed from the purest
barley, malt and hops and so is nour-
ishing and refreshing. Order of your
