Walker, colored, from moving yesterday
He was moving his furniture
into a house at 610 Tenth avenue when
the roof was seen to break into flames.
With faith in the fire department, Walker
kept on carrying in the furniture, and
when the firemen had extinguished the
flames his goods were inside and no time

COLLINS COMMITTEE MEETS
Active Republicans Present - Reports
from All Wards.

Another meeting Of the committee,
appointed at the Nicollet house con-
ference in February to promote the
candidacy OF Judge Collins in Mime
apolis was held last night in the office
Of Judge Torrance. A number of
active republicans not on the commit
tee were present by invitation. Re-
ports were received from every ward
and the organization by wards was

Collins committee are confident Of
carrying the city for the judge; it
looks to them simply like a question

CONTENTMENT.

1t may be genius don't know
But I am not like other men:
have no wild desire to go
Through swamp and brake. Ger moor
and fcn,
To get half buried In cold muck,
In order. aided by good luck.
To blaze away and miss a duck,
or, may be. wound one now and then.
1t may be genus-Ill not say
But from others stand apart.
l have no deep dcSir" today
To hurry from the busy mart:
I'm not at all spring feverSh,
| harbor no consuming wish
To sneak away somewhere and fish;
ContcEtment fingers in my heart.
1t may be genius-I know not
/ stand apart from all mankind.
Though houses must be cleaned, nc
thought
Of rugless floors disturbs my mind.
A radiant maiden looks at me
And often signs bewitchingly
While | dictate I'm glad to be
Compelled to inser here and grind.

Fire gutted The stoie OF the J, A.
Holmes company, commission mer-
chants. East Second avenue at an early
hour this morning. The blaze broke
out about 2 oclcck, and the dry feed
stuff stored in the building afforded
such excellent fuel fer the flames that
they could not be controlled, and only
the walls were left standing. A guam
tity If feed, flour, beer and other stuff
were burned At the time the fire
broke out there were three mules
and horse in the building. The
mules were gotten out, but the hors c
was burned to death. 1t is not
known how the fire originated. 1t
could not be learned last night
whether any insurance was carried
en- the burned property or not.
The flames communicated to the

was also a total loss,
No estimates of any of the losses
could not be had. though it is safe tt
say that it will amount to ssyera
thousands of dollars.
