THOUSANDS GREET GOV.
Inaugural Reception Strings Out
Greatest Representative Gathering
Since Days Of Merriam.

ST. Paul.-All Minnesota paid honor
to Governor Eberhart Thursday night,
when the first inaugural reception Civ
en- in twenty years was held at the
Capitol. The reception brought out a
gathering that has not been equaled
in representative citizenship of the
state, since Governor Merriam, years
ago, was feted in the old Capitol. Elk
cepting the reception to the western
governors a year ago, the inaugural
was the first affair of it's kind in the
new state house
There were $500 present at the re-
ception, it was estimated by Cal f.
Stone, chairman of the Association of
Commerce committee in charge. Prac-
tically all Of the thousands present
passed by the receiving line to con-
graduate the Governor and Mrs. Eber-
hart-to acknowledge formally the re.
election of the states chief executive
And while the thousands passed by
the receiving line, to pass out and
scatter over the Capitol, hundreds
looked on the brilliant scene from the
balcony of the rotunda
The reception lasted for two hours.
At $40 o'clock the Governor, with
Mrs. Eberhart's arm in his, emerged
from the Governors suite of offices,
followed by the receiving line. The
line moved to the west entrance to
the rotunda. and stood motionless as
the band struck up the 'Star-Spangled
Banner" The receiving line spread
out and the review began.

TRIES TO BURN MILL
Four Fires In Few Months Cause
Alexandria Citizens
Anxiety. 5Eg

Alexandria.-Three fires within the
last few months, each occurring I'M
der suspicious circumstances and the
attempted burning of the mill Of the
Atwood Bros. & White company have
led the city council to offer reward
of $500 for apprehension and convic-
ton of anyone found setting a IRE.
Some residents are convinced that
the city harbors a firebug whose only
purpose evidently is to cause big
blaze and create a little excitement.
A fire was discovered in the Atwood
Bros. & White mill, but having gained
little Roadway, it was easily extin-
guished Those who made the dis
covery saw a blaze near a set of mill
rolls and on the floor small bottle.
When the firemen broke in they de-
tected the odor of kerosene. 1t was
found that someone had entered the
mill through a basement window and
had left through a side door The
mill has not been in operation re-
Gently and no hands had been about
the building.
The other fires destroyed hotel,
an empty saloon building and a straw
shed. No reasonable explanation can
be given of the origin of these fires
and it is not at all unlikely that the
-culprit is boy with mania for set
ting fires.
