WHY THE FLEAS MOVED

"It's me. to buy a new cap right
away and burn my clothes,': remarked
a well-known attache Of a city ticket
office of one Of the big trunk lines, this
morning.
"Get away from me, I'm loaded,' he
warned the listener.
"What's the matter, smallpox9'
queried his auditor. q,
"Worse than that!' was the re-
spouse. "F'leas!' s~,
"What the-Where did you get
'em9' asked the startled friend, as he
edged away.
Tit IS long short story,' was the re-
ply, as the sufferer pursued tormento1
down his right trousers leg. Last
winter I bought one of those winter
caps with fur on it.. I put it on this
morning. In twenty minutes there was
something doing. I was covered with

cap simply saturated with the nip boys

BY w. w. Jermane.

Washington, Dec 14.-James T. Per-

seph S. Kennedy of Kennedy & Moon,
custom brokers, came over from New
York this morning to take. up with the
treasury department again the cues
ton Of drawback regulations relating
to export -four made from imported
wheat. There are in Washington today
perhaps a dozen millers from various
points in the country, all interested IN
the same question.
It is understood that Secretary Shaw
has prepared regulations governing the
use of Canadian wheat in American
mills and that they will be issued after
the close of the markets today, so as
to avoid the possibility Of a furry II
price.
Now that the matter of grinding Ca
madam wheat has been disposed Of IL

USED FIRE ESCAPES
Fire Frightened Occupants of Syndicate
Block, Afraid of Stairs.

Fire broke out in the basement of the
shoe store of Croker, Feely & Knob
LAUGH in the Syndicate Arcade and
caused small panic in offices above at
noon today. Several persons came down
the fire escape in preference to risking
the main stairs.
The flames started in pile of waste
matter in the basement, and altho con-
fined to small area the building was
soon filled with smoke. The occupants
Of the offices knew nothing Of the fire
until the engines drove up to the en-
trance and Immediately afterward
there was a scramble for the escapes.
Nearly everyone was at luncheon, 50
the fire escapes were not at any time
crowded. A large crowd Of pedestrians
focked about the place, expecting an
other big blaze, but the excitement
died down as soon as the fremen came
out and announced that there, was no
danger. The damage was nominal, and
the smoke cleared away before any of
the stock was damaged.
The fire was discovered by the opera
tor of the freight elevator of the
Plymouth Clothing company. With
commendable promptness he closed the
fire doors in the big basement and
turned in the alarm. This presence of
mind resulted in combining the fire tG
small space and prevented what might
have proved a second disastrous con
hagration.

FOR SPEAKERSHIP
IAMBERTON MAN HAS NO OPPOSE
TON FOR HOUSE PLACE.
House Republicans Will Caucus Jan. 2
The Call Has Been Signed - Lively
Contests Are On for the Positions of
Sergeant Arms and Postmaster.

Republican members Of the house Of
representative will caucus on the house
organization Monday evening, Jan. 2,

been signed by two members from each
congressional district, all members OF

This caucus will have nothing to do
with the senatorial question. The
senators are likely to caucus on the same
the meetings will be held separately.
The house caucus will select from its
own membership the speaker and the
following employees: Chief clerk, first

lain, engrossing clerk, enrolling clerk,
sergeant-at arms and assistant sergeant
alarms. All other house positions will

OPSSeAASA
Nearly all the other positions are the
subject of contest, but the really hot
fights are on sergeant alarms and post
master. Julius Schmahl is leading IN
the race for his old position as chief
clerk, and the desk force is likely to be
much the same. Adolph d. L. johnson
of Minneapolis, who served as first as
sistant at the last session, has strong
backing for reelection, and K. 0. Sad,
UNI of Bricelyn is practically certain. of
another term as second assistant, having
the solid Endorsement Of the second dis
trict. Arthur Gaines of st. Paul has
the fourth district Endorsement for en-:
rolling clerk, and the sixth is behind
Rev. j.. L. Copper of Staples for chap
lain.
Candidates for postmaster are legion
and with the exception of Ebert Bede
of Warren they are of the gentler sex
The first district has two candidates
for sergeant-at-arms, Arthur Spying Of
Rochester and J. H. Burns of Lanes
boro, but Spring has ten of the four
, teen members pledged. The eight
:, has an active candidate in Sheriff E. d

deputies were given, and these summed
up agricultural conditions over the

band is able to support her.

DELAYED TILL. SPRING
Armory Construction Will Not Start
This Winter.

Construction will not start on tho
armory this winter, altho it was ex-
pected that the piling and other work
on the foundation would be prepared
so that the work could be started as
soon as the building season opened in
the spring. The inevitable change in
membership which will come nth the
first Of the year makes the present
board somewhat reluctant to take any
important steps for the time being.
A more conclusive reason for delay
ing the work is the probable fact that
the foundations can be laid without re-
sorting to the use Of piles. In laying
the big sewer trench this fall it was
discovered that the armory site is on
much firmer ground than was general 4
supposed, and in to- spring careful
examination is to be made to ascertain
if an ordinary foundation will not
suffice. IF the armory can be made
safe without the use Of piles it viii
mean a saving Of about $4,000, ant
this money can be used to much al
vantage in identifying the building.
