a Kick From Mankato.

The citizens of Mankato are kicking.
That is about the only prerogative the
citizens of to-day have, and, like their
brethren in other parts of the state, the
citizens of Mankato do not forget to
use it. There is no fear of it growing
rusty out of fashion or anything of that
kind. The reason why the Mankatoans
kick is because the Milwaukee and the
Chicago q Northwestern transfer tracks
have not been maintained since the
city erected a pumping station on the
site. A complaint has been laid before
the railroad commissioners and Assist
ant Secretary Teisberg has Investigated
the trouble. He finds that the Mil
Waukee road has done its share in re-
establishing the old accommodation,
but}that the Northwestern people are
somewhat tardy about doing so. The
commissioners will take the matter up.

AT the meeting of the city council to-
night resolution will be passed to pay
G. l.. Strobel & Co. the sum of S70,944
on the final estimate of the cost of the
Smith avenue high bridge. Of this
amount the sum of s19,4O0 had been de-
Quoted out of previous estimates as
penalties for the delay in completing
the work; but since the contractors who
built the SuperStructure were forced to
suspend operations for about three
months during the pending of the citi-
ZenS' Injunction suit, the council COM
mittee on claims decided that the con-
tractors were not to blame, and ought
not be forced to suffer loss. The in
junction suit was brought by the citi-
ZenS to determine whether the city
council had right to let a contract to a
bidder whose bid was not the lowest
one opened. The court decided that
the council had the right to select the
lowest responsible bidder; and that the
council had the authority to determine
the question of responsibility. After
this had been done and the contract had
been signed by the proper city officials,
the comptroller, Mr.. Roche, withheld his
signature until the council voted again
upon the matter and rolled up two
thirCS vote. The bridge was to have
been completed and ready for use by
Jan. l, 1889, but for the reason stated
was not ready until three months later.
In lieu of the penalty of S19,400, which
the council will remit. a charge of 500
will be made for inspection and engi-
neering work by the city engineer. This
is but nominal charge, and does not
pay for all the work of drawing levels,
making prOfiles, etc, which the city en-
gneering department has performed
since the work was begun. When StrO-
bel & Co. shall have received their bal
ance the bridge will be all paid for. For
the substructure, Arthur McMullen 81
Co. received S139.2O3; for the super
structure. Strobel & Go. will have re-
ceived S940,324. The sum of 1851.
for incidental expenses, runs the total
cost of the bridge up to S4Sl, 1851.
The other bridges that are engaging
the attention of the city engineer lust
now are the Lexington avenue bridge,
on which the Milwaukee road has begun
work. and the Dale street bridge, which
the Manitoba people are TO build, when
they get their plans ready. A change
i'll the line of their tracks neceSSitated
change of the plans and consequent
delay. The city engineer is ready with
his plans for the siXty-foot extension
which the city is to build over Fauquier
street in connection with the proposed
bridge of the Omaha line over Burr
street, but the railway has been delayed
with its plans on account of moving its
general Offices. The three laSt-men-
toned bridges are to be built by the
railroads and maintained by the city.

VAQUEROs AT THE PLAY.
The Untamed, Fiery Texans Size
Up the Ballet.

The complete roster of the vaqueros
now located at the State Fair grounds
is as follows: Rio Grande Billy, Lasso
Mac, jeff, California jim, BrOncho
Frank, Colorado Joe, Black Scott, Pedro
Harry, Arizona Frank, Billy the Kid,
ArapahOe Nose, SissetOn Pete, Missouri
Jake, Short Horn Bob, TOpase Harry
and the Innocent Buck. In their morn
ing practice yesterday Col. Landers per-
formed the remarkable feat of turning
a steer over by his tail. This feat was
performed by riding at the steer at full
speed, catching the brush of his tail
around the horn of his saddle, and then
stopping suddenly. The vaqueros were
at the Newmarket theater last night,
occupying boxes there as the guests of
Manager Scott. They came in their ma
tive costumes, and were the cynOsure
of all eyes. They were accompanied
by Col. Clark Chambers, Col. William
Liggett. Secretary Denny, ". f. Cross
and others. 1t was the first visit they
had ever paid to the theateT, and their
expressions of wonder were as much of
a treat as the show itself. As an orna-
ment for the evening Col. Landers wore
the Rio Grande diamond, the largest cut
stone in the United States, and pre-
scented to him by the Texan Rangers at
the time that he severed his connection
with that famous band. The sale of
box seats in the grand stand Of the Fair
by Manager Scott was very lively Tues
day and yesterday. Some few good
boxes are yet left for Military day, Tues
day. Sept. 10, which can be reserved at
the Newmarket.

Pnblic School Questions.

=; City School Superintendent Gilbert re-
ports increased attendance at the public
schools beyond that of last year, but
that the increase is not likely to be so
great as was that of 1888 over 1887.
Many of the schools are already over
crowded. The superintendent is expe-
riencing considerable difficulty with
parents desiring to send children to
schools outside their district. Every
body wants to send his offspring to the
aristocratic schools, and the consequence
must be, if the superintendent were to
allow them, many schools would be de-
pleted, while others would have stu
dents three times beyond their capacity.
Prof. Gilbert is opposed to any of these
transfers. The custom. which has
hitherto been practiced, IS most OBJ
jectIonable one. The new branch high
schools give signs of proving great
success. Prof. Carel, the French
master of the public schools, returned
yesterday from visit to the Paris expo
sition. There will be meeting Of
school principals to-day.

Observation-Disclosures

The want of such a perch as will be
afforded by the new railing has long
been felt by the horde of weak-kneed
chappies and ten-cent dudes for whom
the court house and its vicinity seem
to hold a magnetic attraction. The
scene that will meet the eye at the Fifth
and WabaSha street corner can
be as well imagined now as de-
Scribed in the future. The chappies
will not have a monopoly of the new
perch. There are always one or more
weary walters for the advent of one or
another of Mr.. LOwry's go-carts, and
it will be no more tlan natural that in
the absence of even the most crude ac-
commodations for the waiting crowds
by the company of iron-clad contract
and thirty-minute car service. they
should take advantage of the inviting
roost furnished them by a generous
municipality. Let the good work goo
