The Mississippi Explorers.

Pioneer Press: Prof. J. V. Brewer,
who has been commissioned by the
Minnesota Historical society to make a
scientific survey Of the Mississippi river
to further establish the truth or falsity
Of Capt. Willard Glazier's claims, re-.
turned to the city yesterday after hay
ing traversed as far as the second Nicol-
lat lake. Mr.. Brewer returned 10 secure
Instruments which were found necessa-
~ to make the survey complete in
every way, and left again for the north
this morning. Mr.. Brewer procured q
chronolneter, 80 as to establish the
longitude and latitude of the lakes, hav-
ing discovered that the United States
survey is very faulty at many points.
He will relocate the lines and proceed
independent of the old United States
survey lines. Mr.. Brewer has an able
corps of assistants, including two skilled
engineers, graduates Of chronological
institutes. The snow has been very
deep, which has hindered the progress
Of tho work, but the recent warm
weather has greatly reduced it. and the
party will now be able to push ahead
rapidly. 1t is estimated that it will take
sixty days to finish the survey, which
will be very complete

After Popp and His Horses.

Pankraft Popp, the man who was ar
rested here last week for h rse stealing
in Pope county, and who afterwards es
capped from the sheriff Of that county,
was evidently horss-thief of no small
consequence. Besides the crime above
mentioned. and the Wright county steal
ing that was referred to last week, he
had also done an extensive business in
that line in Southern Minnesota. Popp
came here last fall with team and they
were stolen in Brown and jackson
counties. He stole two horses in each
of those counties, and after he had
gone short distance with the four
horses he became alarmed about his
safety, and left the two poorest horses,
coming through to Little Falls with the
best ones. The first Of this week Sheriff
Wood Of jackson county and Sheriff
Schmidt Of Brown county arrived in
Little Falls, and identified the horses as
the ones stolen from their localities, and
sent them back home. The horses had
been purchased by the grandfather Of
the thiefs newly made wife. and he is
out about $500 through his effort to aid
the fellow.
There is good reason to believe that
Popp went directly to Rich Prairie after
escaping from the Pope county sheriff,
and IN effort was made to find him
there Saturday. 1t is the opinion of
the officers that he left there Saturday
night, and went to some of the towns
down river.

THE SEWER BONDS.
a Blu Tor City Sewer Bonds Be-
fore the Legislature and q =
. Strong Protest Prepared.

In accordance with the unanimous
vote Of the Chamber of Commerce ut
their February meeting bill was p, e.
pared and sent to the legislature grant
ing the city council of Little Falls the
authority to issue sewer bonds in
amounts aggregating $4,000. In view
81 the fact that system of water works
*as to be put in here the coming sum-
mer it was thought that the city should
20 in shape to supply at least the bust
ness part of the city with sewers, and
the amount was placed as high as &4o,-
OOO to cover any possible emergency
that might come up in view Of the pros
poets OF a considerable increase in the
size Of the city, and the possibilities of
= great increase during the next two
years. The chances are decid oily
against the ACCESSIBILITY, or desire of any
one, to -issuethat many city bonds dur
my the next two years for sewers, but
IS it was quite within the range of pos,
abilities that the ne ed for such resourc-
ss would be urgent before that time had
expired, the policy Of placing the city
in shape to be ready for an emergency
was wise and proper one. No sewers
should be built until the water works
are under construction, and then the
conditions would warrant tae spending
Of but fraction of the authorized
amount.
| A protest against the. passage of the
oil was prepared, signed by a large
number of business men, and sent to
M. Flynn. The ground taken by the
leaders of the opposition Was that it was
a scheme to bond the city to drain the
west side, that the coming city govern.
ment should not oe entrusted with the
expenditure of 80 much money, aud
other seemingly unreasonable argu.
ments. 1t is very easy in any commu-
nifty to start cry that the city is to he
robbed, and on that created issue many
will sign just such petition a. the one
referred to; it places them on record as
being the city's defenders, and the
false representations can be offered as
an excuse for the signing We can't sec
now any reasonable man can fear that
the plan to authorize the city council to
build sewers is a scheme to injure the
city, neither do We believe it is the de-
sire OF any one that the city should 20
too actively into the work of building
sewers at present.
The council was elected wish practi-
cally no opposition, and the mayor is q
gentleman who has always been one of
the staunchest friends of the city's best
interests; if the people cannot put con-
tidence in this city cove rnment, we fail
to see. under what circumstances they
could have any faith in officials. It is a
fact beyond question that great maj or
ity of our citizens have full faith in the
ability, honesty and integrity of the
new city government; yet that is the
main issue on which the protest is
based
