The residences of Elmer E. Foster
and A. B. Applin, at Forty-second ave-
nue. and Fiftieth street, were totally
destroyed by fire at about 4 o'clock
Tuesday morning. But few of the eff
fects in the Foster home were saved,
as the family were away at the time.
Mr.. Foster estimated his loss at about
$1,000, which was partially covered by
insurance. The fire in Mr.. Applin's
house was discovered in time to permit
the saving of most of the furniture.
His loss is about $1,000, with $1,000
insurance. Although the department
arrived early it was impossible to ex-
tinguish the flames except by chemi-
calls, as the city water mains do not
extend beyond Fortieth street. The
origin of the fire is unknown. The
fire marshal is investigating the case,
which is thought to he the work of in
cendiaries.
The new city directory, which will
be issued next Monday, will show the
present population of Minneapolis to
be 272,677, gain of 1O,227 during the
past year. This figure is obtained by

the new issue, 121,190, by 2A, which
is the directory company's method Of
ascertaining the population Of the
Flour City. The last directory con-
tains 11GO40 names, exclusive of
deaths, removals and business firms
which, on the same multiple basis,
showed the population to be 262, 44O. In
the introduction to the new book are
pointed out the advantages Of Mime
apolis as business, social and educa-
tional center. Brief mention is also
made Of the facts that new blocks
. year, other buildings enlarged and re-
modelled to accommodate increased
trade, that the business streets. are
t44ronged with busy, hustling people
and that the residence sections are fill

word, that prosperity is in the very
air breathed here.

Both. The place for the convention
will be the international Auditorium.
A dispatch from Winona says that
Chairman Buck of the state central
committee made the announcement
Tuesday. The location of the conven-
ton was left to the executive COM
mittee and this committee has decided
the matter by correspondence. St.
Paul was not able to offer suitable
hall. Minneapolis Democrats offered
to furnish the auditorium and pay
800 of the convention expenses, and
this determined the action of the COM
mittee. Duluth was bidder for the
convention, but as the June convention
was held there, the claims of Mime
apolis were recognized. The official
call for the convention will be issued
this week. The basis of representa-
ton will be the same as for the Du-
luth convention, one delegate for each
$50 votes or major fraction thereof
cast for VIM. j. Bryan in 1900, with
three delegates at large for each coun-
ty except Hennepin and Ramsey,
which are given five.
