A NEEDED IMPROVEMENT.

A petition is being circulated and
will be presented to the council at it's
next meeting, asking that Glenwood
avenue, from Fifth street to the cem-
etery, be put in good shape, and ma
cadamized to the width of twenty feet.
Accompanying this will be subscrip-
ton list pledging the signers to pay
into the city treasury the amounts on
posite their names. 1t is hoped to
raise 81 800 in this way, which will
pay large proportion of the cost.
More money has been absorbed in re-
pairing this road than any other in
the city, yet it is VIGOROUSLY one Of
the hardest to travel in wet weather.
Owing to the absence of a proper gut
ter, the water from the sidehill runs
over the roadway, keeping it wet
long after other roads are dry. This
is particularly true in the spring, when
the melting snow that is lodged on
the sidehill keeps the road muddy
On this account the condition of the
road has for years been fruitful
source of complaint. By covering it
with layer of broken stone and gray
Ell, well pounded down, splendid
roadway can be provided, and with a
proper gutter and frequent tile drains
it will seldom suffer from too much
moisture. The vast amount of travel
over this road makes it one of the
most important thoroughfares leading
into the city, and the trade of several
towns passes over it.
Inasmuch as those who are inter-
ested in the matter are going so liber-~
ally into ther own pockets to pay for
work, the city at large should not re-
fuse to make up the deficiency. 1t is
alwasy the best policy in our street
work to put one or two streets into
first-class shape each year, than to
spread thousands of dollars over a
dozen streets and not improve any of
them very much. The money that
has been spent on Glenwood avenue
during the past five years would pay
the entire cost of the work now pro-
posed.
The petitioners also ask for a side
walk, and this should not be refused.
Every Sunday large numbers of people
walk out to the cemetery, through the
dust, while many people reside quite
distance out on the road. These
should be given some convenience.

"COME DOWN."

That is what the business men of
Mankato are respectfully but earnest
ly asked to do. Wilkin Post has taken
upon itself the task of entertaining
the third annual encampment of the
Canon Valley G. A. r. to be held in
Mankato June 18th, 18th and 10Th,
and to do so in creditable manner
will require at least 800. This
sum must be raised through the liber-
al donations of our citizens. 1t is too
large load for the Post to carry and
too much to ask it to assume. In the
twenty odd years since this grand or
ganization was founded this is the first
time that Mankato has been called
upon to preside as host. There will
be in attendance from 500 to 1000 old
soldiers and as many friends Of the
veterans from outside the city. For
three days our city will be thronged
with strangers gathered here for mu-
tual greetings and a good time. Let
us help the local members to prove
that Mankato's hospitality shall not
be wanting and that her appreciation
of the organization of the Grand
Army of the Republic is dear to every
one of us. In short let there be no
exhibition on the part of business men
of lack of desire to see ample funds
provided for the proper observance of
the occasion. ST. James will soon en-
terrain the Southwestern Minnesota
G. A. r. Association and it took the
committee but one day to raise fund
of 81 900 with which to bear the eX-
pense. Can Mankato afford to kick
on 500? We think not; and as the
committee calls upon our citizens let
them respond literally. Hotels and
other places of public entertainment
will reap a good benefit from the
gathering, and proprietors of such
should be willing to subscribe accord
ingly.
"Come down" when you are called
upon.

SCHEME FOR A LAKE.
Editor Free Press:

Editor Free Press:
Probably very few of your readers
know what an opportunity lies at our
very door to construct lake which
when completed would be one of the
most picturesque of the small bodies
of water to be found in this state.
Within four blocks of the court
house runs ravine nearly mile in
length, with four arms each quarter
mile long, and correspondingly wide,
whose banks for the greater part are
skirted with large trees. Previous to
the last two droughty seasons the
purling brook that found its way
through the moss covered rocks at it's
bottom sung uninteruptedlya although
midsummer, in fact this is a natural
water way, and if / am not in error
can be traced to as far east as Eagle
Lake.
A comparatively small outlay of
money will construct dam at the
western end, which is all that is re-
quisite to convert this ravine into a
charming lakelet. A few of the
thousands of gallons of water daily
running from our city wells to the
river could easily be diverted to offset
the evaporation and overflow and when
filled the depth at the center would
approximate 100 feet, so there would
be no stagnant water. To the angler
what lurking place for trout in its
shadowy depths; to the skater what
caruivals all winter. Each arm of
this ravine is accessible from as many
streets. This is a perfectly feasible
scheme, and would prove bonanza to
the city, as also to the man with
money or the stock company, who
would construct a summer hotel on
it's shore, where a site can be selected
commanding stretch of thirty miles
of country with scenery unsurpassed
the world over.

From Tuesdays Dailyl.

From Tuesdays DailyI.
The regular meeting Of the council
last night was presided over by Mayor
Willard, and all of the aldermen were
present.
Geo. Maxfeld, ST., appeared before
the council in behalf of the people of
West Mankato, and asked that some
plan be devised to sprinkle Front
street there without putting in a
water main. He suggested that two
or three inch pipe be laid across the
slough for this purpose. The dust is
a great annoyance. A. P. Halfhill
also appeared and seconded this. He
said that West Mankato had always
responded to the request of the re-
mainder of the city to vote water
bonds. The street is used as much or
more than any other leading out of
the city.
The city engineer stated that the
distance would be 1880 feet, and he
could not tell whether it would cost
thirty cents foot or less, but the cost
would be from $500 to $780,.
Chief Engineer Phillips suggested
that four inch main be laid, so as to
obtain fire protection.
On Aid. Hubbard's motion, the
Board of Public Works was instruct
ed to contract with Mr.. Page for
sprinkling for thirty days, and to in
vestigate the cost Of laying two and
four inch pipe across.
A petition was received asking that
the council lay out road four rods
wide from and to connect Marsh
street with Dane street, in East Man
kato, being continuation of Marsh
street in direct line east of Dane
street. Referred to the street COM
mittee,
A petition was received asking that
Dane street be extended south about
300 feet to point opposite Fair street,
in East Mankato, then running west
about twelve rods to point opposite
Dickinson street, thence south about
ten rods to connect with Dickinson's
addition. Ell. P. Christensen appeared
in this behalf, with map of the pro-
posed change. Geo. HI. Marsh will

sistent in our efforts to bring Loose's
extract of Red Glover to your notice.
We are daily coming in contact with

Red Glover. Ask any one who has
taken Red Clover for any form of

plains in his communication printed
in your issue of yesterday.
In making whatever statement ]
did make, in reference to Mr.. Marsh's
conduct in this unfortunate affair,
OF course relied principally on the
statement of Mr.. Powlison to me but
l must admit that I was somewhat
influenced by Mr.. Marsh's letter, of
which the following is an exact copy,
viz:
CINCINNATI, Feb. 9, 1891.
GEO. S. PowLIsoN,
Dear Sir:-I learned to-day you had
secured bail all right. l had to go
away before you came. l think the
way The matter has come out you took
just about the right plan. If you had
stayed and been arrested there public
opinion would been entirely against
you; as 1T is you have secured much
sympathy from the fact that they
think you have been made out much
worse than facts would warrant. If
this had not been the case the SYM
pathy and help you now have you
would not have got, and if you are
careful and not overdo the matter so
as to cause reaction of public Opin-
ion, you will come out all right. This
matter of public sympathy is rather
uncertain, and when you have it well
established it is best to be very care
full and not do or say anything to cause
it to change. Then, too, if there was
too much said it might anger Thomas
so ne would bring more counts against
you. 1t is better to cOnciliate him as
much as possible, as after all he has
the largest end of the matter in his
hands. Now / think from present ap-
pearances there is a fair chance that
enough money might be raised among
your friends to pay back a good part
OF the shortage, which would make it
much easier for you to get out of the
matter. You might suggest it to
someone and see what can be done.
OF course it should be in the nature
of a loan, and wouldn't be surprised
if it could be done. 1 will be back
first Of next week.
You may feel little hard towards
me in regard to some matters you
don't understand. My purpose was to
arrange things so if you were brought
back you would receive just the help
you are now getting, and if it hadn't
been done you would not have it now.
1t is the nature of the American pub
lie If they think a man is crowded too
hard, to SympathiZe with and help
him, and this has come out Just as 1
expected it would. The only thing is
not to Overdo the matter and get it
changed before May. 1t would be a
good thing for you if you could have
your trial now. 1 noticed in paper
you made some statement about ex-
press package you shouldn't have
made. If you wish to write address
care Palace Hotel, Cincinnati, Ohio.
