DThero is in Dakota quite a sprinkling Flus, Laplanders and othor people who live am up near tho North pole. There are few tribes or people in the known world that do not have representatives in Dakota. Duo of the most popular preachers and even au editor in Fargo was born in India, and thero is little difference in complexion or culture between any of these people of frigid or oriental nativity and the average Caucasian or clt- izen of' tho United States.

Fleming, a prominent resident of Ipswich, who died the past week, was born in Bengal, East Indies. A great many of the farmers about Wuti- petou had storage tickets against the elevator company that suspended there As loon as they learned that there was trouble, many of them went for their wheat, forced their way In and helped themselves.

The statement is by no means limited to Towner It will not be long: before Dakota ranks among the best sections of the country in 6uch matters. There are very few of the kind of settlers who are sat- fled with the scrubby varieties. The visitor to the populous and well 1m- proved county of Drown can hurdly credit the statement that the first white child was Kirn in It only six years ago last dnujrbter Of John that the first deatli and occured in 1880. It is noticeable that the birth was that of a male, the first death was that of a woman, and a female was the principal party in the first wedding.

The tir-t buildings at Aber- deen were erected in IBBi. In Towner county the first wheeled vehicles of the season were on the road April 1. The sleighing was still fair, but the irround bare in spots. Thai, however, is about as far north us one can get in Dakota. There- is still nearly a half million acres of govern- ment land in that only three of tho thirty townships being entirely taken up.

The reported railroad extension from Devil's Lake will go in that direction and give it quite a boom.

Probably nearly every well-settled county in Dakota will have more or less of the Farm- era' alliance organizations this season, and there will be great temptation to them to take the field as a political party.

Some con- porvative observers warn them that this is a one that wrecked the farmers' I movement in Illinois and other states. Ad- rice will be tendered them freely. It is claimed that, had it not an area of I pome fifty miles radius to draw from, the cemetery at Grand Forks could not be mad self-sustaining. Although the place contains Borne 8,000 souls, a funeral is so rare a thing us to attract general attention. Sanitary reg- illations are enforced there as if the atmos- phere was not so healthful as almost to debar the entrance of disease.

Freeman A. Cole of New York state, the originator and breeder of the American- 1 lloldcruoss cattle, now claimed as the best dairy stock In the world, has a ranch in Dour- las county which he is stocking with his flue breed.

In the county sent matter in Rolette county parties swear that at one of the three votlni: places there were 187 legal voters in May last, while a mouth later Che census man swears there were but ill adult males in the county. This shows that there is no way to boom population like having a county teat contest.

Some experiments made in parts of Dakota with alfafa have proved quite successful. Cuttle and hogs luxuriate in it and fatten rapidly, and it is claimed that It will be six Inches high in the spring before cattle can feed upon prairie grass. It will soon bo widely sold in tho territory, apparently. Yankton cast 793 votes at the recent election, and gave Harris, the Drinocratlo candidut, a majority of 257, with a majority of Democrats in tho council. Local issues had something to do with it, but there is no doubt that the Democrats can do the most voting there on a straight pull.

In view of certain recent failures of banks and mills in Dakota, and the wrench given a great number of private individuals, one familiar with the situation says there are calamities quito as severe as destruction by Are without insurance. He whispers "options" as the solution. The board of trade at Elk Point have done a good thing for that place in securing a reduction of freights on the Milwaukee, from Sioux City, nearly one-half. If similar bodies at some other points touched by that system could do ah well they would help their wonderfully. Trovare.

As the territory docs not insure any of its buildings, the citizens of BrooKlngs are raising money to Insure the college buildings there, which they can better afford to do than to take the chances and delay of an appropriation from the legislature, as in tho case of Madison. Some of tho capitalists, or those who expect to be. at Salem have organized a company to mine lor silver in the Palisades in the Sioux Falls region. Similar companies are being organised in dthor places, and there is a growing interest in tho silver question.

Central Dakota has determined to hold a grand celebration and camp fire of the G. A. K. at the Oakwood Lakes the first week in July. The grounds by tho old fort occupied byOapt.

The people of Grnndriew, in Douglas county, arc unhappy over tho prospect that the new railroad from Scotland to Mitchell will miss the town Just far enough to kill it. There is almost too much of it to put on wheels to take to ho railroad. It is not often the whnat seeding is under full headway before the ice breaks in tho Red river, but that Is the case this year. No rain has yet fallen and the ground is bo dry and dusty that a little of the surplus rain of the East would be acceptable.

A great deal of Interest is being taken in the establishment of a Y. M. C. A. at Sioux Falls, clghty-ont having been secured and arrangements mating for opening rooms.

The latest sensation In the gay capital Is the Tavern of the Penitentiary. The invitations were issued in large red bills, posted on the walls of that extravagant quarter, Moiitiuartre. It was announced that guests would be served by ex-convicts wearing the garb of servitude, at the same time soliciting for these unfortunates, whose desire is now the straight and narrow way, kind treatment and encouraging words to help them to persevere in the paths of honor and virtue. These were signed by Maximo Lisbonne. Maxima Llsbonene, director of this establishment, was a member of the commune and other scientitic societies and consequently paid a visit to this colony of Noumea, where so many even more distinguished than Henri Eochefort, for instanc had been sent to do penance for their excess of patriotism.

The life at the penitentiary, of which one would hardly be supposed desirous of retaining souvenirs, seems to have dilated Llsbonnu's penitence to the extent of wishing to surround himself with living pictures of his life there. Our curiosity led us to visit this grim fantasie. which proves of so great a benefit to its originator. We entered a narrow passage, its whitewashed walls lighted by petroleum lamps, leading to the cafe, a large hall garnished with simplicity amounting to crudeness; plain deal tables, warmed by two huge stoves, the floor covered with yellow sand. At the end of this vast hall, to the right, is a small room, on the door of which is announced that all customers are shaved free from the hours of 11 a.

in. to sp. m. Not being customera we were not considered free patrons, but the glance caught of the a rascally looking sutlicieut to deprive us of any desire to be included in the category of "customers." Han sing on the walls of the cafe, without frames, were life-size portraits of prominent Socialists, congenial spirits, and of the same political persuasion as Lisbonne himself, two of them well-known for their prominence in this line Louise Michel and Henri Rochefort. Other placards detailing various drinks under new name 1 such as: Noumea (absinthe), Boulet, which means a cannon ball (bock); Soda Canaquo and Soupe Uornad de Toulon (chief penitentiary of France).

Seating ourselves at one of the deal tables, we were soon approached by one of the ex-convicts in his sinister drab breeches, red woolen jacket, with the initials T. F. (travaux hard labor) stamped in black, and green cap, with his number on a small tin plate adorning the front. The click, click of the ball and chain fastened to the ankle and the ball attached to the hip. for convenience, of course not the solid ball he was accustomed to drag when a convict.

He demanded our order in a soft, penitent voice, as though still under the. rod of correction. This bizarre company of waiters fascinated me by the strangeness of the situation. These strange faces were a study. Certainly the power of money does not extend to making a man adopt the garb of disgrace, no matter the privations the absence of it might incur! This visit, early in the evening, brought on another after 10 at night, when the place was full.

What a crowd of hard and brutalized men and women it was! Their songs were Infamous, their gestures violent and often improper. A woman who got up and posed on one of the tables was certainly of magnificent figure: but the brazenucss of her face and the coarseness of the cries that greeted her were shocking. The convict waiters pulled her down when she became utterly outrageous. One of them, with a face like a gargoyle, said in tones of chronic hoarseness: "Look here, public decency must be respected!" So they had a moral codo which drew the line somewhere even at Mine. Llsbonnes.

The Japanese Trio. New York Letter. I About a week ago my attention was called to the number of bouncing young girls who moved along the streets In threes. Mr. Thorn, the "Ko-Ko" of Gilbert and Sullivan's "Mikado" company, said at the time: "That is the most consplclous result of the popularity of The Mikado' in America.

The 'Three Little Maids from School' song is the most catchy one in the opera. It is sung in every household in New York, thumped out with unrelenting enthusiasm on boarding-house pianos from i one end of the town to the other, hummed by the car drivers, and whistled by street Arabs. Now the girls have taken to traveling in trios as they did in London when 'The Mikado' first caught the public there. The idea amused me at first, but I have taken the trouble to watch the groups of girls on Broadway and Fifth avenue since, and a pair is rare, while the trios swing along evciywueie, and they invariably move as though humming the ditty about the three little Japanese maids.

Thomas E. Holland, one of the United States pension examiners. I found him confined to his room somewhat out of health, but ready as ever to talk when Dikota was mentioned. In response to one of my questions he said: "How is Dakota? Oh. as well as could be expected under the circumstances.

Jlaterially she has suffered from the general depression of the times, the derangement of business throughout the country, the falling off of immigration and outside investments and, more titan all else, the low price of her great wheat Politically, she has been the victim of folly and knavery at home, and partisan bigotry and rascality abroad.

"What about your prospects of statehood?" "1 lie Devil himself, the father and boss of nine-tenths of all our politics and politicians, couldn't answer that. Between our fools and knaves at home, and the ignoramuses, bigots and jobbers in congress, we have a hard time of it. Our present territorial government Is the most tlagnaft form of carpet-bag rule. We about 425.000 people more than twice as many as are necessary, under any construction of law or precedent, to entitle us to admission as a state: more thau three times as many as were ever before kept in TERRITOUIAL VASSALAGE since the union was founded.

We have far more population, wealth and intelligence than many of the states more than any IfcflM of the other territories. Every principle of Republicanism, ot Democracy, of ritdit and justice, of Atnericauisin, is lated daily and hourly in our case. We are taxed without representation; we are ruled by carpet-baggers. aliens: we have no vote or voice in our own affairs; we are virtually disfranchised, reduced to the level of lelons, because we live in And every etfort to right these wrongs, to redress these grievances, has failed, has died "What has been the diflicuhy?

A fellow never knows what he he may catch from such a crowd. These freebooters have for years been working to make two states of the territory in order to give themselves twice as many offices and stealage opportunities as one state would atlord. I have told them from the start that the job never could be accomplished, but the people have been gulled into following the lead of the would-be duplicate senators, governors and other official panjandrums, and this idiocy has given the PARTISAN JOBBERS and hucksters at Washington ample protext for ignoring our claims altogether.

We have a right, as everybody admits, to admission as a state, but this our territorial bosses have never a.sked and are not asking now. We have no earthly right to as two states and this is ju.st what they are clamoring; for, because it gives them four senators instead of two. two jtom instead of one, and so on, doubling offices and erabbaiit chance. 1 and dividing the assets with which to meet the costs. Of course any ordinarily intelligent ass ought to know that, iis Ing as the Democrats control either house of congress they will never consent to any such scheme for nuttint two extra Republicans in the senate and the MOd electoral college: and as long an our knavish fools and foolish knaves keep up their howl for this preposterous impossibility, they give our congressional enemies abundant reason for shutting us out altogether.

In all this territorial admission squabble not one statesmanlike or patriotic idea has ever uttered in either branch of our national huckster shop.

Republicans favor bringing Dakota in as two states because it means increased Republican strength in senate and electoral college; Democrats oppose it for the same reason, and are glad of any pretext, however flimsy, for keeping her out altogether until after the next election. Dan Vonrheea, in order to carpet-bag his son Charlie into the senate from Washington territory, proposes to tack it on to Dakota and admit it, although it has hardly half population enough to entitle it to one representative, and is absolutely without one qualification for statehood or right to It. Morgan or Alabama and some other Democratic senators wish to include with Dakota both Montana and Washington. Hoth combined have not people enough, or enough of anything else, to justify the admission of one of them, but the Democratic tinkers and cobblers in statecraft think they may be manipulated so as to furnish old Bourbon and electors enough to balance Dakota. Kight and Justice are never mentioned.

Should not such "statesmen" bo iKxldlins peanuts. popcorn and wormy apples on the street corners? Why does not some man, in either house of congress, with brains enough to know what Is right and nerve enough to do it or suggest It, introduce an enabling act for the admission of Dakota as one grand, imperial slate. regardless of personal or partisan considerations?

His territorial appointments have generally been respectable something that could not always be said heretofore. One of his most abused selections, in which our territorial people are specially interested, has certainly been a good one.

Gen. Sparks as commissioner of the land ofllce has made some but even his errors have leaned side. Under such fellows as Teller the land ofneo had become one of the rottencst departments of the government. It was honeycombed with villainy and fraud. There was no outrage or crime that a powerful railroad corporation, with plenty of conrcuPTiox money could not perpetrate through it.

Changes of survey, relocation of lands, grabs, gouges, swindles and steals, without end or limit, had been winked at, connived at, and divided with for years. Sparks has laid a throttling hand on all these scoundrel isms, and of course the baffled scoundrels howl. 11 is blunders will correct themselves; these abuses never would have done so. Nearly half the entire landed domain of the United States had been squandered on thieves individual thieves and corporational thieves. It was time to call a halt.

al. Sparks has had the grit and backbone to do it. With the Thnrman bill in regard to the Union Pacific road a law, and a few such men as Sparks to inforce it, even that most gigantic of all modern pirates aud corruptionists. Jay Gould, might be called to account and his transcontinental anacondus made to disgorge the or so of the people's money they have gulped down from the hands of boughtand-paid-for senators, congressmen and supreme jmlk.es. Few innocent victims will snfler by Sparks' rulings, and I am inclined to think he will earn a monument at least as tall as the higliwst standard of honesty in our national politics.

In an able dispatch to his government, dated February 23, 1884, United States Consul James W. Taylor of Winnipeg, referring to the agitation in Manitoba, states: Thore is great complaint in regard to what la called the monopoly clause of tbo Canadian Pacific charter prohibiting future branch except in directions southwest of the main line and to a distance of lift ecu miles from the frontier for a period of twenty years.

The Canadian Pacific Itaihray company finding the proposed 3 per coat, guarantees by the government inai'ejua-e to Boat Its 5 per cent, stock, bad applied for a government 5 percent loan of secured until inuturitr in 1811, by mortgage of all its assets, and It was contended very persistently as a condition ot such aid. that the barrier to the access of American lines should be re- linqulsbcd." "BOOOad Upon the most substantial of all the Canadian tariff of 35 percent on agricultural implements aud other indls- pcnsible supplied of an agricultural settler there seems no prospect of relief. The Do minion government is committed to a protective tariff, and having only a year since advanced their rates trom -3 to 35 per cent, to exclude competition from the United States a differential duty or a special free list in the interest of Manitoba is pronounced by the Canadian premier as wholly inadmlssable. Herein Is ttie greatest discrimination to the disadvantage of the Manitoba farmer as compared wita his Minnesota or Dakota neighbor, which has teen frequently estimated by speakers at farmers' conventions as 25 per cent, on the value of the year's crop. Third are other important domestic questions connected with the financial situation of the provincial government of Manitob a claim to tho public domain and an increased subsidy in lieu of the surrender of the power hitherto possessed by tho government to levy customs duties.

And there is no subject so engrossing and expressive of the determination of the community to secure competing routes to the European market than a project to build a railway to Hudson's bay under provincial auspices. The enthusiasm in this direction even extends to. the adjacent territory of Dakota. rt The above summary by an important observer outlines the main claims in the bill of rights of THE UNION, adopted by the legislature of the province, and embodies the views of tho Provincial lliirhts league, amalgamated with the Fanners' union over two years ago. the comb ned association representing the heart and brains, and sinew and wealth of the province.

No member of either association ever uttered, wrote or published a word that could be construed or distorted into an act of disloyalty or rebellion against the constituted authorities, but the government with the care and indefatigable industry of an antiquary huntiug for some fellow's vestige of treason through private letters stolen by their emissaries, having utterly and hopelessly failed to discover an atom of evidence that could be magnified into thine Illegal, with monstrous conception determined to entrap the union into some act of indiscretion that could be distorted into a criminal charge. Accordingly an agent In the secret service wrote and dispatched tho now celebrated letter of which you have published an extract. The letter was stolen from the that office by another agent, and submitted to a Manitoba judge with an application for an indictment against the secretary of the Farmers' union for treason. That was in the summer of 1884. The judge astounded at such viliiany directed the letter to be sealed and dispatched to its destination and severely reprimanded THE GOVERNMENT AGENTS.

stating that they were the parties against whom an indictment should issue, and that there was no proof that the person to whom it was addressed had any knowledge of either the writer or its contents. The letter reached me some time afterwards at my farm in the country, aud although I bad no information regarding the proceedings that bad taken place. 1 MWtBNMjb tiie clumsily pn pared trap and treated it accordingly. 1 came to Dakota in the intciest of my business and children, some of whom were born in the United States.

When 1 left Winnipeg two months ago i traveled by the regular train in the light of day. no act of mine or of those with whom I had been associated having given me reason to suppose that i was liable to arrest. On the same train ou which 1 crossed the frontier were two government detectives (who in Manitoba are thick as leaves of the forest) who knew me well. As soon as I finish seeding 240 acres of land here I intend to pioceed to Manitoba to look after my farming operations there, and on my way will give a reception in the city of Winnipeg to those who are so desirous of paying their respects to me. To serve another purpose the TITLED CONSPIRATORS with fiendish malignity, but with a surpasslne lack of ingenuity again produce a copy of that wonderful letter and placing it before his royal nibs at Ottawa it startles the customary serenity of the noble marquis who is always so sadly distressed at any new discovery of the depravity of human nature and his excellency who is charged with the stupendous responsibility of the safety and Integrity of the British posses- slops on this continent with the cry of treason ringing in his tars rushes hair on end with a special to our trusty and well beloved gentlemen of tho house of commons, beseeching them to take some action in the premises.

A BAILIFF THE BLIZZARD. A Story of a Warm Heart That Beat Behind Kouffli Exterior. The cold wave had encircled the city in its icy embrace. In a miserable cabin on the outskirts of Atlanta a wretched woman with her three little ones crouched over a handful of dying embers. There was a knock at the door, followed by a sudden wrench of the handle, and a white man walked in followed by a stalwart negro.

"Well." said the first intruder gruffly, "you an not ready to pay that "How can gasped the woman, her pinched features contracting into a spasm of despair. "Out you go, then," said the bailiff. "Here, you, Sam!" shouted the officer, "move this plunder into the The little children huddled up to their mother and clung to her skirts. "Oh, sir," said the woman, "if we are driven out we have nowhere to go. I could get no work not even food.

We are nearly freezing and almost starving. It will kill us." "Durn me. but I believe you are right," said the bailiff. He stuck his head outside the door and heard the howling blizzard. Then he walked the floor and whistled.

"Law is law," he remarked tersely. paced up and down the little room. "And right is right," he continued. "Dat so. boss," put in the negro.

"Shut your black mouth," was the reply. The inmates of the little cabin seemed to feel that further pleading was useless. They meekly awaited the inevitable. Suddenly the bailiff walked up to the woman. "I am going back to your landlord," he said, "and I'll pay that S5 rent.

Of course 1 lose the costs on this warrant, but that's all right. Now, here's S3 for you to get a little coal and meal and meat. It's all I can give you; I'm a poor man." "God began the grateful woman. "Oh, I can't stand that," said the bailiff; "come on, Sain." and the two vanished and scudded along With the blizzard back to the city. "She didn't pay you that? said a hardfeatured man.

"There it is." 'cm out?" "The mischief! how's that?" "None of your business. You've got the money. Just let up for another mouth." "You bailiffs are getting impertinent. If you've neglected your duty and raised this money instead of turning those people out, ueck and heels, I'll make it hot for you." The bailiff looked at the landlord. The landlord looked at the bailiff, i latter walked off muttering something.V^ 1 The landlord, with a surprised look, sank in his chair.

An effort Ls being made to work up enthusiasm here over a long-haired, drooping and not particularly active cowboy, who is said to be a phenomenal pianist.

He has an agent who is quite as picturesque and blood-thirsty in apperance as himself, and the pair are often seen about town together. The man really plays well by ear. but he is by DO means to be compared to a dozen New York pianists who wear short hair and evening dress Instead cf the couventioual trappings of the cowboy. His first appearance a lew nlghta at the Amsterdam Club before a lot of polite politicians was instructive. The politicians glanced at his boots, his leggings and his hair, heard him play, said it was wonderful and applauded calmly.

The pianist rose after the performance and took his seat, aud then a local burlesque comedian seated himself at the piano and began to hammer out a lot of popular music, aud the politicians lost their lieiuls at once. They had admired the Texan's tone, expression and memory, but it was nothing to their enthusiasm when they heard "Climbing up the Golden Stair" played with one hand and "Over the Garden Wall" by the other Hand at the same time on a single piano, by the popular comedian. He succeeded hi wresting the laurels from the Texan's brow at one fell sweeu, for the politicians would have no man of the Texan after they had heard music that they loved and could understand.

Paul. How Various Kinds of Business art Transacted In One of the iilevated Buildings. A Young Man Who Might Remain Under Cue Ituot for a Year Together. Special Correspondence. Chicago, April 1 wonder if a description of some of the recently erected utility buildings of Chicago would interest St.

Paulites. 1 think bo, because SL Paul is a city of progress, and although the structures I am about to describe may not in demand in your city just yet, still any one who is cognizant of the remarkable growth of the twin cities in the past and present, cannot avoid the conclusion that it is only a question of and that time when there will be a vast metropolis in the Northwest and that the needs of the hour, in the mutter of resident and business accommodations will be as great as those of Chicago to-day. 1 don't desire to boom Chicago. 1 have a growing feeling of disloyalty and disrespect for this wicked city of the West and the comments and judgments which the press of our sister cities venture do not tend in any measurable decree to obviate the impressions I am rapidly forming. The Globe, 1 notice, contributes Its shareof disparaging remarks upon our tastes, our laws, our methods of enforcing the laws, and some of its editorial wit comes so near the murk that its Chicago and there are mjiny of them feel like kicking the Globe all over the globe and consigning its to a place even more wicked tliuu Chicago.

But to return to the switehing-off place. It was not many years auo that a four and live-story building was a remarkable structure in this city. It was foolishness to build higher when there was so much spare room on the urourid. With the lirst great boom which started after the tire, however, a new era in public building construction was inaugurated and some of the structures which were erected then, KRKCTKD IN A DAT, you might almost say, are model 3 to-day of the builder's craft and the architect's ingenuity, presenting a far more respectable appearance than does the new court house with its crumbling walls and adding foundation. These buildings of which I speak were live, six and some of them seven stories high.

The elevator system was not as perfect then as now. but still, what there was in the shape of elevating parapharnalia wtt utilized to good advantage and the landlords of blocks of this kind generally secured good rental. But Chicago lias crown very rapidly as everyone knows. Space in the business center of the city, by which 1 mean to inoiude an area of about one mile square, is becoming in such demand that, to use the Irishman's expression, "they have to stack it." It really amounts to little else than that when a building to meet the requirements of business is erected to a height of eleven or twelve stories, thus making the ground on which it stands yield for serviceable purposes a dozen times its actual area. Such buildings, and several of them we have in Chicago to-day, and many more, their counterparts, are in rapid process of construction.

Lightning elevators make the twelfth floor as accessible as the tirst, and in many respects more preferable on account, for instance, of the elevation from the hum-drum noise below and the greater intensity of daylight afforded. Do not let the reader imagine that the demand for office room alone has occasioned this necessity for high buildings. The natural inference, I know, would be that the floors from number two to ten, or whatever the top number might be, would be DEVOTED TO By no means is this the case. In many of these building you can hnd a prosperous tailoring establishment on the fifth door. A blazing sign from the sixth story may inform you that Cash A Co.

are carrying an extensive line of gents' furnishing goods. Jewsharp Bros, may have the entire third floor for pianos and organs, and then it may not surprise you to discover that the lirst floor, barring perhaps a saloon or cigar stand, is occupied entirely for office room which you would expect to be at the root instead. Some of these structures have apartments for light housekeeping or rooming on the office lloors. One in particular that I call to mind is arranged in tiiis way, and accommodates a number of tenents who profess to be quite too, too. The apartments are elegantly furnished in hard wood and fitted with all modern improvements.

The building is full ten stories high, and has a large basement which is scarely below the walk. I am acquainted with a tenant in this baQding who, if he were so inclined could remain in the building for a year without finding it necessary from any physical cause to step outside its doors. He is a clerk in an establishment on the third floor. He sleeps on the eijjht floor, eats on the ninths there being a nice restuarant there with the kitchen on the takes his bath and has his tonsorial work done in a barber shop in the basement, and gets his drinks and cigars at the saloon next to the barber shop, both of which have ENTRANCES FROM WITHTX. If this young man wants clothes, a tailoring establishment on the second floor will nt him out.

If he wants to play billiards or pool he can be accommodated in elegant billiard parlors on the same floor. If he wants a tooth extracted or tilled, a dentist on the fourth floor will do the job at a rensouable figure. If he Is sick, a doctor near the dentist will prescribe for him and the druggist in the basement will do the compounding. A hatter has the comer room on the second floor, and a misfit clothier encourages economy in livinir. directly benoath the dealer in "plugs." Several lawyers will give small advice and take larce fees on the fourth floor.

My friend has but to enter one of the many elevators, announce the floor desired and he is there before the words are dead on his lips. Verily this young man is fortunate during this season of mud and water especially in Chicago where it is considered next to a crime to clean the streets or sweep the sidewalks. AT.PERMAXIC ELECTIONS.
