BIDS FOR WATER PIPE.
Some of 1t Needed for a Big
Main.

The council committee on water
works met yesterday morning and
opened bids for 1912 toGs of water pipe
to be used by the water department
next year. Five sizes of pipe are re-
CURED for next year. 6, s; II, IL and So
inch. Among the seven bidders were
some prominent firms. Here they are:
Dennis Long q Co.. of Louisville, KY;
Gloucester Irrn Works, Gloucester, n.
l.: Lake Shore Foundry, Cleveland;
Shickel, Harrison d Howard. st. Louis:
West Superior Iron and Steel company,
National Foundry and Pipe Works, a
PENNSYLVANIA concern. and the EddyS-
ton Steel and Pipe company. of Cleve-
land, D. The last-nam-d firm proved
to be the lowest bidder on all pipe.
Their bid was S27.5) per ton delivered.
The National Foundry and Pipei works
underbid them OH II and l6-inch pipe
only. their bids on those lengths being
S27.45 per ton, and on and S-inch pipe
$3.50 per ton. Shlckel, Harrison IL
were the third lowest. The prices paid
n year S3O25 per ton for 6 to 24-incn
ll)'. The contract. amounting to con-
~.~erably over 100000, will be awarded
to the EddySton company, which sup
piled the pipe last year.
Additional bids were opened for Spe-
cial castings, as elbows, valves and hy-
drantS, none but Minneapolis firms be-
Ing allowed to compete for the first
class of work. The Lockwood-Upton
Company of Minneapolis will supply
10 tons of castings at "a cents per
pound delivered at the trenches. it be-
ing the only bidder. The Mohaw &
Hudson Manufacturing Company of
New York will furnish l25 valves, at the
following rates: Seventy-five 6-inch
valves at SO. IS each; 20 S-inch valves.
$3.50 each; 10 10-inch, S34.75 each; 9
10 inch. 5000 each; 224-lnch, $50 each,
and 6 36-inch valves at 1925 each. r. ID.
Wood d Co. were the successful bidders
on fire hydrants. They agreed to fur
nish 172, at $3.50 each.
The city needs the 36-inch pipe to
connect the down town portion of the
city directly with the Single creek
pumping station. At present the So
inch main from the new pumping sta
ton extends only as far as Plymouth
avenue; hence the pressure in the down
town districts. where it is most needed,
in case OF fire, is materially lessened.
The big main will be extended to Fifth
avenue south, along Second street,
which, with the pressure secured
through the smaller pipe connected
with other pumping stations, will add
considerable to fire protection.

POTTER FOR PRESIDENT.
Not of the United States But of the
City Council.

E. G. Potter is pattlng himself on the
with the thought that. although he could
not be mayor of Minneapolis, he may be
allowed to act as mayor once in while
when Mr.. Winston remains out of the
city over night; in other words. he ex-
poets to be president of the city council.
A meeting of fifteen representatives
who will be members of the next cOun-
ell was held Monday night in
Laye's harness store, and all pres
ent declared themselves on the
that position, Potter received IL votes
out of the Is, Aid. Lowell being his only
real competitor. This practically in
sures Mr.. Potter's election to that
Office, aud Aid. Lowell was one of the
first to concede it. The latter's friends
say he was never seriously in the race
against Potter, anyhow. They think
the defeated candidate for mayor is
clearly entitled to the honor. Then the
aldermen attempted to decide the fate
of the candidates for the various ap-
pointive offices. The results showed
that the Republican aldermen are in
favor of retaining them all. DIR. Kill
vington, for health commissioner, had
the most strength, and he seems Ger
tain to remain where he is. John West,
superintendent of the workhouse, was
the weakest. He seems destined for the
headsman.
S. A. Stockwell has some pronounced
views on the subject of punishment of
criminals. He has been looking up the
matter at considerable length, visiting
the court rooms and jails and talking
with prisoners, and he has come to the
conclusion that the existing state of af-
fairs is all wrong. He believes that the
element OF reform should enter into the
punishment to greater extent, and, as
he is member-elect of the legislature,
he will probably ehdeavor to bring
about some of the reforms which he be-
lieves are demanded. His views on the
subject he sums up briefly as follows:
"Now, have no very fne-spun theo-
ries about the treatment of the criminal
classes, but any man who thinks for a
moment knows that our present meth
DDS only help to confirm the criminals
| in their criminal ways rather than to re-
| form them. do not think we have vet
| found the best methods of treating
| criminals. The problem is unsolyed.
| But think by loo ing about we can
| find that others are far ahead of us in
| this respect. l believe we lookup peo-
pie who disobey the laws first as pro-
| lection to society and secondly to re-
| form them. do not believe in this
sickly sentlmentality which makes a

WHICH DESERTED?
A Pike County, Missouri, DivOrc
Case and Its Intricacies.

A Pike County, Missouri, Divorce
Case and Its Intricacies.
A divorce case that Is rather out of
the usual run is on trial before Judge
Smith in the district court. In 1886
Ernest Woracek came to Minneapolis
from Louisiana. Mo-, to recover his
health, he being sufferer from hay
fever, and built home on Chicago
avenue. His wife remained in Mis-
souri,. He claims that when he sent
for her she refused to come, and he has
accordingly sued for divorce on the
ground of deserlion. Mrs. Helen Wor-
acek, the wife, is, however, in Minneapolis
at present by very large majority.
She has come accompanied by all attor-
ney, ID. A. Ball, and is making a very
energetic fight against the divorce. She
says that instead of deserving Mr.. War
acek he deserted her, coming to
Minneapolis and leaving her in Mis-
souri,. and never sending for her. She
therefore asks divorce on the same
ground, together with alimOny. claim
ing MIR. Woracek is worth $4,000. A
Mrs. Mary Flagle, from Louisiana. tes-
tilted that she had carried word from
MIR. Woracek to Mrs. Woracek to come
To Minneapolis, but the latter had re
81 don't know what she meant by that"
said Mrs. Flagle. by way of comment.
Mr.. Woracek also testified that he had
both sent and written his wife to come
to Minneapolis. Lizzie WOracek. a
daughter by former wife of Mr.. Wor-
acek. testified that pa" had come
to Minneapolis for his health, and
that Minnesota oZOne had cured him
and improved the health of herself and
brother. She said her step-mother had
treated her kindly with the exception
of laughing at her for crying at her
mothers grave. A. c. Sheldon testified
to Mir. Woracek'S bad heaitn in Mis-
souri, and there was other testimony to
that effect. Mrs. Woracek sat back of
her attorney and seemed to dissent
from the general run of testimony very
emphatically Judging from the vigorous
shakes of her head and the way in
which she prodded her attorney.

PRACTICALLY SETTLED UPON
Minneapolis Will Send All Her
Garbage to Brooklyn.


The plan for disposing of the city's
garbage as fully expressed in the GLOBE
two weeks ago has almost been decided
upon for good, although the transporta-
ton or the refuse to Brooklyn, where it
will be taken care OF, will cost little
more than was at first supposed. The
Greet Northern railroad will do the
hauling al the rate of So per car. instead
of 50. A loaded train will be taken out
of the city and the empty train brought
back at certain hours. Payments
to the railroad company are to be
made once month. The garbage will
go to the vicinity of Brooklyn. and will
be loaded on the cars at an uninhabited
point on Lyndale avenue. The council
may fix min mum rate of taxation to
pay freight. upon the producer of the
garbage. The intention is ultimately TO
establish loading points for the garbage
at different points in the city. The
special committee will meet again next
Thursday and perfect details. Despite
the slight increase over the first eSti
mate oil the cost of transportation, all
VINO have looked into the subject be-
lieve that it will prove cheaper and bet
ter than any other system that has been
proposed.

says the dairymen will consider this

expects to take some concerted action to
counteract the influence of the supreme
