Circuit judges v i'll be elected through
out the state this fall as usual. but the
new incumbents will not assume their
duties until July !, 1902. In order to
abolish needless annual elections the
terms of the present judges were ex.
tended six months. and the terms of the
judges elected this fall will also be ex-
tended for the same period. These ex
tensions will bring the judicial elections
on the even. numbered years and at the
same time come within the mandate OF
the constitution, which provides that
the terms of the judges may not be ex-
tended more than six months.

SLEEPY EYE. Mimi, April 27.-The
Van Dusen elevator and warehouse were
destroyed by fire yesterday. 1Ae loss on
structures and grain in store amounts
to upwards Of S., 600, fully covered by in
surance. A large amount OF household
goods. stoves buggies. sleighs. etc, were
stored in the warehouse. The heaviest
loser on this score was H. G.. Hays, Of
the Sleepy Eye Dispatch, who had sew
eral hundred pounds of type and printing
material and quantity Of household
goods burned. Their value was about
$3.50 and there was no insurance.

kept thoroughly wet down, and the only
damage done was from water, and this is
Slight. The railway track for 300 feet
was warped and twisted and the tele-
phone, telegraph and electric light wires
near the building are down. The wind
was in favorable quarter, or the en-
tire business part of town would have
been wiped out.
