THE CITY COUNCIL.
Very Little Business
Done Last Night.
The Guenther Hill Ditch To Be
Piped-The Matter of Opening Ex=
change Street Laid Over New
Sidewalks Ordered West Man
katO Gets Another Black Eye.

1t was evident at Mondays seS-
sion of the council that business, for
some reason, was to be put through
with a rush. The impression gained
ground with each passing mo-
ment, and when the distant blast
of a trombone in the Mankato
band in the street below calling
the people to the political speech
in the opera house was heard,
public affairs were cleared up in a re-
markably short space of time, and
very little discussion was INDUCED in
upon any of the city's business. One
or two attempts were made, but the
promoter was met with such a volley
of scornful looks that he was glad tC
reserve telling why he wouldn't vote
for this or that PROPOSE tion to later
date.
The aldermen tarried on the way
down town, and the meeting was late
in coming to order, probably on &C
count of election.
Those present were Aldermen
Bashaw, Widell, Higgs, Fowler,
Pitcher and Petersen.
Nobody found any objection to the
minutes of the last meeting as read
by Recorder Brown, and they were
unanimously adopted.
A petition was read from j. j.
Gould for license to sell liquor at 303
Front street. On motion the applica-
tlon was filed, the date to be set for a
hearing.
A petition, signed by twenty-three
citizens and twelve prospective con-
Sumers of North Broad street for an
extension of the water mains and fire
protection las far as May street in
Dukes addition, was read.
A lively discussion was called out on
this. Alderman Fowler proposed that
the extension go across the slough to
Hubbell avenue. The motion was
lost but the original petition was
carried, the mains to be extended next
spring. no definite date being set.
An original motion was made to eX-
tend the water mains to West Man
kato. Alderman Fowler made a hard
fight for his cause, but it was lost in a
general vote.
Recorder Brown read that portion
of the bond resolution which was
brought up at the last session. While
he was performing this duty the Man.
kato band passed by, and Mayor
Weaver looked longingly out of the
window. The resolution was carried
in its entirety.
The matter of piping the Guenther
line ditch was brought up by the
mayor, who asked for committee re-
port.
Chairman Bashaw, of the sewer
committee, made a favorable report
on the proposition.
There was some discussion as to the
size of the pipe, and Alderman Peter
sen moved that ten-inch pipe be used
and the board of public works in
structed to proceed at once with the
work. The motion carried.
Alderman Bashaw wanted some
crosswalks. He moved the building of
three across Mulberry street, two

By the Associated Press.
 SAN FRANCISCO, June 6.-The claim for $15, 100000 filed against the Stan ford estate by Attorney General Olney as preliminary step to enforce the governments claim against the original holders of the Cent ral Pacific grant, has caused the greatest interest here.
 It is now learned that the govern ment's claim was presented on May 26, but that an attempt was made to keep the proceedings secret in order that the financial operations of the estate need not be em barrassed.
 The late Senator Stanford's estate was recently appraised at $17 1000, ,O00. Since the appraisement heavy obliga- tions have been met and it is stated now that the enforcement of the goy ernment's claim would practically wipe out the estate not only leaving the widow penniless but cutting off all beneficiaries under the late senator's will including an endowment of $2,500- 900 to Stanford university.

Safe, Sure and Speedy.

No external remedy ever yet devised has so fully and unquestionably met these three prime conditions as success fully as Allcock's Porous Plasters. They are safe because they contain no deliter ious drugs and are manufactured upon scientific principles of medicine. They are sure because nothing goes into them except ingredients which are ex- actly adapted for the purposes for which plaster is required. They are speedy in their action because their medicinal qualities go right to their work of re- lieving pain and restoring the natural and healthy performance of the func- tions ot muscles, nerves and skin. Ask for Allcock's, and do not be induced to accept substitute.
 Brandreth's Pills are safe and sure.
