up the road, pointing out the disas-
trous effect such a move would have
upon the business interests of the
northwest and recommended a spirit
of mutual concession. Mr.. Garretson;'
on behalf of the men, declared that
they would not allow any one to OK:
coed them in yielding if only a spirit
of yielding was shown by the COM
pany. He further stated that all prep.
arations had been made tor the
declaration of a strike and that unless
some tangible offer was made on be-
half of the company looking to con-
cessions Of a satisfactory character, a
strike would be declared. After
their conference with the men, the
business mems committee waited up
on General Manager Ward and listen

Then a conference was arranged be-
tween the general manager and the
grievance committee, at which mem

were also present. This conference

upon its breaking up Chairman Coop

announced that MI. Garretson had

be ordered tonight and that the con-
ference would be resumed at 10 O'Clock
tomorrow morning with every pros

While those who were present at the
conference were extremely reticent,
it was learned from an authoritative
source that concessions satisfactory tc

was to decide upon, certain matters Of

HoDGKINSON'S NEW STORE.
The Finest Drug Store West of Chicago
A Veritable Palace.

"A VeIlIdDle EdAdCc. |
It is a broad statement to make,
but none the less. true that the finest
drug store west of Chicago is that of
A. E. Hodgkinson of this city. The
new fixtures and decorations which
have been put IN make the store a
,yeritable palace. The fixtures were
made by the Quincy Show Case Works
.of Quincy, Illinois, and Mr.. Will A.
PfeiHer, son of the president of the
company, designed the fixtures and
personally conducted the work of
putting them in place. The show
cases are all of the finest plate. glass
with handsome green slotted onyx
base. The wood furnishings are of
mahogany. The prescription case, a
curved affair, is a perfect dream.
There is a large mirror in the middle
with small panels of beveled plate
glass on each side. There are many
handsome mirrors throughout the
store. Three. round leather settees
are conveniently placed for the COM
fort Of customers. The ceiling, which
is a pretty pattern of steel, is painted
white and trimmed with gilt, the
border being painted a rich green
The entire floor is covered with
handsome pattern of linolium. Over
100 electric lights are used in lighting
the store at night and they present
most beautiful appearance. The i'm
movements cost several thousand dol
lars and are Of the very best. Tw'
gentlemen, one from Boston and on
from Seattle, who are extenslv
travellers, visited Devils Lake thi
week and they freely acknowledge
that Mr.. Hodgkinson had the fines

FER THEIR WEAKNESS.
HiU Stops Talk of Mcclellan as
I'dntmdny Candidate.

1T became known yesterday that as q result OF
the visit of David g. Hill this city and confer
ehces he held with Charles F. Murphy and other
Tammany leaders. representatives of the Kings
County organization and other Democrats the
name of George B. Mcclellan has been wiped off
the slate as possible candidate for Mayor. There
is no doubt that Murphy would like to nomi-
nate Mcclellan, but Hill does not think it wise and
Murphy is deferring to Hill leader in the State
organization and is being ADVISED ty him.
All the efforts Of Tammany to create discord in
the fusion camp have proved fruitless. and Murphy
now realizes that he has hard battle ahead of
him. and that he cannot afford take chances. 1t
viii be recalled that in the triangular fight between
Tracy Low and Van Wyck. the vote of Van WyclS
was not so big the combined vote of Low and
Tracy When fusion was effected two years ago
Tammany was badly beaten. This year fusion is
again A certainty. Temmany is not in office as II

upon it that Mr. Lee made no secret of the match
10 his sister. The relations between the dead man
and his sisters most confidential, and I feel
sure that he would have kept no such secret from
them. If the countess expresses surprise at the
news, l shall continue to entertain the strongest
doubts TO the legitimacy of this WomanS claim

If this persons claims are legitimate, l have
not the slightest doubt that she will be welcomed
