SOr1E FINE PRIZES.

The Mankato Cycling Association
held meeting last night and perfect
ed permanent organization by the
/ election of Prof. A. G.. Matter as pres
ident and G. A. Lewis as secretary
and treasurer.
July 18th was fixed upon as the
date for the races, and large num-
Der of outside riders are expected.
Various committees were appointed
to make arrangements, and they will
report at a meeting to be held Mon
day night. Nothing will be left I'M
done to make these the greatest races
ever held in Southern Minnesota.
The list of races and prizes was re-
vised and was definitely settled upon
as follows:
Road race to Kasota and back, dis
tance twenty miles, starting at 9:45 a.
m. Prizes, stop watch and gold
medal.
Novice race, gold L. A. W. pin.
Half mile, open, gold watch.
Quarter mile, open, opera glasses.
One mile. 2:40 class, gold medal.
Boys race, bicycle clock and bicycle
lantern.
One mile, 800 class, gold medal.
Two mile, handicap, diamond stud.
The prizes have already been select
ed and are of the very best make and
very handsome. The aggregate value
of the prizes will be 5000, and the
least of the prizes is well worth con-
testing for.
Besides the above named prizes,
others will also be offered, such as an
elegant silver and gold match box,
with special bicycle engraving. The
gold watch offered is a handsome
timepiece, with EIgin movement and
the latest improvements. 1t is beau
tifully engraved. Another gold watch
will also be offered. The prizes will
be put on display next week at a place
to be hereafter named.
The quarter mile dash will be with
a flying start and will be the most ex
citing race ever witnessed in the city.
The value of the prizes offered will
attract numerous outside riders of
note, and our local riders should be-
gin to train, in order to keep as many
of the prizes as possible at home.

A Monument of Coal.

The I.ehigh Valley Coal Company has
received contract from the World s
fair commission for the construction of
an anthracite coal monument fifty feet
high, ten feet square at the base and
from three to four feet at the top. 1t
will be huilt in sections of sixteen feet
in length and so shipped from their col
lieries, Nos. 3, and 8, at Shenandoah,
to the exposition.
In selecting the material for the monu-
ment care will be taken to cut out pieces
that will present to view when they are
placed in the monument all the connect
ing mineral that are found. In some
parts the coal will be left in its raw
state, while in others it will be polished
and suitably inscribed.
The delicacy required in handling coal
in such work makes the operation very
tedious, and it is not expected that the
monument will be completed before
April next. Experts who examined the
plans say that the exhibit will be one of
the finest eyer made in the interest of
the anthracite coal industry.

Frank P. Sharkey, Esq, the solicitor
for the commissioners of Carbon county,
has expressed the opinion that the fac
smile of the signatures of the borough and
township auditor is not required on the
ballot for the spring election, says the
Mauch Chunk Gazette. This opinion is
not official, but he says that he would
not hesitate moment to decide it in
this way if at any time he should be
officially called upon for an opinion.
This will settle the matter at least as
far as Carbon county is concerned, and
the auditors can now proceed to place
their orders with the printers for the
ballots without putting the county to the
expense of paying for the signatures.
There is only one place in the new bal
lot law in which this matter is directly
referred to-the last paragraph of section
l5-and it reads as follows.
"On the back of each ballot, or on the
right hand side of the back if the ballot
is printed in two columns, there shall be
printed as a caption, official ballot for
followed by the designation of the vot-
ing place for which the ballot is prepared
the date of election and a fac-simile of
the signatures of the county commits
sioners of the respective counties who
have caused the ballots to be printed by
township or borough auditors.
That is all the law has to say on the
subject. If it was the intention of the
trainers of the law that the signatures of
the auditors should be added to the bal
lots for township and borough offices,
how easy it would have been to add
few more words to the law. But, aside
from the law, where is the necessity?
In the case of county commissioners
who send their ballots to remote dis
tricts, a fac-simile of their signatures is
Il guard against fraudulent ballots, but
there is no room for a fraudulent ballot
in townships or boroughs where the bal
lots pass only from the auditors to the
election officers.

Lu B. Cake and Ella June Meade, of
New York city, who will appear at the
opera house tomorrow evening, have a
reputation of giving the most refined
entertainment on the road. Mr. Cake is
one of the best humorsts on the stage,
and his representations of a darkey, the
country farmer, travelling man and a
dozen other chracters have won him APP
plause from Maine to California. He
has the knack of capturing an audience
when he comes before it, and can sway
it as he wishes.
Ella June Meade is one of the most
accomplished vocalists in the country
Her elocutionary powers have astonish-
en- every one who has heard her recite,
and her dramatic, pathetic and humorous
portraitures are pleasing novelty. The
entertainment throughout is refined and
of high order Reserved seats can be
had at Christy's store.

REPRESENTATIVE Jeffrey, of the fourth
district, is going to make hard fight to
pass his low license bill in the house.
He will have many earnest supporters,
but at the same time his enemies will
not be few in number.
We are afraid that if the new county
bill does not go through the legislature
this session, Col" Jim Sweeney's occu-
patton as lobbyist at Harrisburg will
be gone.
Senator Kline should study the consti-
tuition thoroughly before introducing
new bills creating new offices. His bill
creating the office of county controller
has been reported adversely because it
was unconstitutional. Study up the con-
stitution Mr.. Kline and it may prevent
further blunders of that sort.

A Drivers Sudden Death.

John Coll, a driver for Ferry's livery
stable of Hazleton, met with fatal ac-

The horses were frightened and COM
