The Big Bridge.

The citizens of New York and
Brooklin appear to have an enormous
elephant on their hands in the East
River bridge. The structure not yet
completed, has cost over Sl3 5000 200.
and no man connected with the en-
terprise is willing to say that it will
not require rs much more money to
finish it. To make a bad matter
worse. doubt is expressed a to
whether the structure will he secure
even if finished at an additional cost
of millions. Miscalculations were
made as to the quantity of steel
necessary for supporting sections,
and other estimates have been dis
covered. 1t is announced that ut
least one thousand more tons of steel
will he needed in bracing and
strengthening certain portions. This
will, of course. add to the weight of
the superstructure and thus lessen
the chances of safety and security.
Even a suspicion that the structure
is not entirely ecu is bound to
operate against its usefulness. us
thousands will, after the bridge is
completed, prefer the ferry to taking
any risk.

We said in a former advertisement -" TO a person of some
means, land is cheaper to-day, and in the long run, in Blue Earth
county at $40 per acre than at 50 or So per acre one hundred miles
from timber. By the time the settler on these vast prairies has
made his roads and bridges, got churches and schools and bought
tirewood and timber until he can grow his own, his land will cost
him more than $50 per acre" We repeat it again emphasized by
the results of the October blizzard on the stormEswept prairies living
for hundred of miles to the west-grcat losses of stock are reported
lost largely because there is no timber with which to utilize the
hay and straw for shelter.
We have a large amount of farming lands for sale in Blue
Earth and adjoining counties and can suit a customer either with i'm

Breaking Down.


Men often have their hands full, are
overcrowded with business and drive
hurriedly along at it, but they may not
be overworked. We cannot always tell
when we are overworked. Aman does
not always know himself, n more than
he knows the strain on ths handspring
of his watch that will break il. Bat
there comes Il time when it breaks "a
click, a snap, and the watch stops.
Men break down in this way. They
go on, day after day, the pressure bear
ing harder each successive day, until
the vital force gives out. and the ma
chine stops. 1t is o great pity that the
indications of this stnte of things cam
not be seer beforehand. and if seen re-
garded. 1t is one of the last things
that men will admit to themselves,
much less 10 others. They tlatter
themselves that it is only n little weari-
ness of the flesh. which will pass of
with a few hours rest, when, in fact,
every nerve, power, and u are
exhausted, and the system is driven to
work by sheer force of will. When the
oil on the shaft or in the oil-bOx is ex-
hauSted, every revolution of the wheel
wears on the revolving part, and soon
will ruin it. The same is true Of the
human body.

Rnnh.lnr Liza in Mnu York

New York is the paradise of bache-
lors in these enlightened days. Up to
a few years ago they had to make out
with hotels and clearinghouse, or
accommodate to the furnished room
plan. Now they a do better. Homes
for bachelors are among the ''institu-
tions" of to-day. The unmarried man
need no longer wander disconsolate
about a hotel, or poke himself away in
O musty room in a boarding OIL lodging
house. If his purse affords it he can
set up bachelors quarters in good style
in a house especially designed for his
class. Four or five handsome houses
of this kind have been built within q
few years, and they seem to pay very
well. They are called apartment
houses for bachelors, and they are an
ranged very much like French flats,
tine CHEF difference being that the num-
Der of rooms is less. In some cases
the bachelors apartment consists of
two rooms, in others of three, and in
no case of moro than four. The cost
of living in this wsy Is considerable,
but the life itself is pleasant, comforta-
BILE and free from care. The demand
for such houses is consequently large.
