THE last spike OF the Great Northern
railway was driven or Friday last at a
point some miles west of Stevens pass.
The ceremonies were in marked contrast
with those OF the Northern Pacific. There
were no large-girthed European capital
lists; no state or national dignitaries, and
only few Of the minor officials Of the
road, together with contractors and la
borers. The emptying OF revolver was
the lone herald Of the completion OF an.
other great trans-continental road, but
the lack OF fuss and feathers, the absence
of gaud and tinsel, and the fact that there
was only suspicion OF the usual detona'
tion and smoke, makes the event none
the less important in the history Of the
development of this country and in rail
road building. II is the harbinger OF the
fulfillment Of President Hills statement
that the road was built for business, ant
his promise that it would be conducted
on business principles.

that while the wages Of those actually
employed in collecting the exhibit was
only 31s per cent. Of the appropriation,
that the 'salary list Of the managers

expended, which includes $155.l0 for the
first cost of the products, $706.25 Tor the
wages OF the men who collected them,
and $10S9 60 for a superintendent. The
deduction TO be drawn from the Tsle-

DO THEY OWN THE ROADS?

Those of the wheelmen who have
been on road rides through the coun-
try in the neighborhood of Mankato
have many experiences in passing
teams, some of which are not alto
gether pleasant. Residents of this
city who are out driving are as a rule
prompt and courteous in giving up
portion Of the road upon meeting
wheeImen. Probably four-fifths of
the farmers are equally courteous. But
the other one-ifth generally manage
to make the riders dismount from
their wheels by crowding them from
the travelled and smooth portion of
the road. The ringing of the bell has
no effect upon these people, who,
either through ignorance of the law
or sheer ugliness persist in hoggishly
taking up the entire road, although
entitled to but half of it by law and
by custom,
The Supreme courts have held that
the bicycle is vehicle, and as such
is placed upon the same plane as other
vehicles, including wagons and car
riages. 1t is the duty of the driver of
wagon to turn to the right and give
up half of the road when meeting a
bicycle. If the wheelman was riding
ing buggy his rights would not be
questioned, but he is entitled to his
passage way whether in buggy or on
wheel. Some people, with $50
horse and blackboard, think that the
rider of $50 wheel has no rights
that they are bound to respect. Some
of these people may have their eyes
opened in a way that they may not be
expecting. Whoever does not turn
out and therefore strikes or Injuries a
wheel or rider is liable for damages.
Some of the local wheelmen are MEM
bers cof Ethe League of American
Wheelmen and this organization
backs it's members in any such litiga-
tion and meets all the expenses. After
two or three people have been reQuir-
ed to pay damages the rights of the
wheelmen will be recognized. The lat
ter never expect heavily loaded
wagons to turn out where the road is
rough, or empty wagonsto turn out at
dangerous places. All they ask is or
binary courtesy and such treatment as
would be extended to the riders of
other vehicles. Bicycles have come to
stay, and the sooner this fact is real
lied the better all around.

TWO OLD SETTLERS GONE.

Anton Jacoby died at his residence
on N. Fifth street at five o'clock
Monday afternoon. He was one of
the early settlers. and was 10 years of
age. He leaves wife and family of
grown up children. Three of his
daughters are sisters of Notre Dame

man and Mrs. Geo. Siebauer are also
daughters of the deceased. Mr.. Jaco-
by had been confined to his bed for the
past six months.
DoMINICK He'll,
another old resident, died at his home
on N. Front street at two o'clock
Monday afternoon, of neuralgia OF
the face. He was about sixty years OF
age and was an old soldier. He con-
tracted in the war the complaint
which carried him off, and for the
past fifteen years has been great
sufferer. Life was sustained by hypo-
dermic injections of morphine, and
latterly as much as twenty cents
worth day was used. The patients
arms were misshapen through the
numerous injections made. The de-
ceased leaves wife and grown up
children. The funeral will occur at

A LARGE FILL PROPOSED.

The Milwaukee road is preparing to
fill under the trestle by the bridge
across the Blue Earth river, by Gard
ner Darr's farm. 1t is proposed to fill
as far as the abutment on this side
of the river. The length of the tres
is 300 to 400 feet and in some places as
much as twenty feet high. A large
amount of work will be necessary in
order to make this filling, but some
thing is necessary to be done, as the
trestle is becoming weakened. The
company desires that road at that
place be changed, and the county
board will probably be called upon to
make the change.
