a wise move On the part of the society,

him what he had in his sack. There
are merchants like that little boy.
They have plenty Of goods for sale;
but they fail to tell what they have

you must open your sack in trade and

PROF. SHEPARDSON'S REPORT.

The following is Prof. Shepardsons
report upon the test OF the electric
lights made Thursday night:
Mr.. EDGAR WEAVER, Mayor,
Mankato, Mimi.
DEAR SIR beg leave to submit
the following report of arc lamps test
ed last night.
The current fluctuated between 9.5
and 9.S amperes, 9.75 being taken as
the average. This was the same in
all the lamps.
The voltage at several lamps was
measured, the average values of read
ings extending over some time being
given below:
LOCATION. VOLTS. AMPEREs. WATTS
Walnut End 1915 9.15 1896
Hickory & End 3S.5 9.T5 3l5
Hickory & Bird ~. SO 40
Jackson & End - Alb 9.75 403
This gives an average OF 1876 watts
per lamp as against $50 watts, the
standard amount Of energy taken by
1000 candle power lamps.
The adjustment of the lamp at
Walnut and Second streets was altered
SO it burned steadily at "a volts or 525
watts. The figures for this lamp in
the above table were average values
for the adjustment with which it had
been burning.
Respectfully Submitted,
GEO. ID. SHEPARDSON.
1t will be seen from this report that
one lamp burned steadily at 1920 can
die power. The strength OF the cur
rent passing through the wires must
of necessity be the same at all of the
lamps, and the fact that all OF the
lamps do not show 200 is an indica-
tion that the fault is in the lamps, and
not in the power

THE PUBLIC BUILDING.

Weare in receipt of a letter from
Conressman McCleary givingthe lat
est information regarding the public
building. He says:
weekly visits to the office of the SUI
pervising architect of the treasury in
the interest of our public building.
The situation is as follows:
|. The drawings are completed.
,. The speciticatio will be com
pleted early next week.
3. Tracings will be ready inside of
three weeks.
T. Allowing week (which is
ample) for tn e photographing of the
plans, the authorization of advertis-
ing, and other preliminaries, the bids
should be called for before April 1st
5. The bids are advertised for three
weeks so that everything should be
ready to begin work about May lst.
Owing to the fact that there is an
immense amount of work in progress
and that the architects Office is short
of draughtsmen, it has been impOs-
sible for the office to expedite matters
any more But it is some satisfaction
for us to know that our building is
among those whose works furthersst
advanced"

Wonderful Performance of the
King of PAGERS.
Three Great Heats Made in 2 J3 ga
2,02 l-2 and 2.04 3-4.
Indianapolis Track Now Holds the Wor.d S
Record for PAGERS.

INDIANAPOLIS Ind, Sept. 6-Iuliansp-
oils now holds the worlds pacing recond
and came within fraction of a second. to-
day. of the worlds trotting record. Rob.
ert j. made the second heat in the match
with Joe Patchen, for $4,000, in OF l-2
being the fastest mile ever paced. The
three heats averaged in speed 0S %,
making the fastest three heats ever paced.
In the second heat, Joe Patchen went like
the wind, and forced Robert J. to make =
spurt of speed almost at the Wire that was
phenomenal. Col. Taylor of St. Louis,
owner of the black stallion, had said before
the race that if the gelding won, ne would
have TO best his time at Fort Wayne, which
was O3 81. The black stallion came in
under the wire at exactly that time. In the
first heat he made the mile in 04.
The fast PAGERS scored for the word at
%, with the track in the pink of condi-
ton. Joe Patchen had the pole. They
scored once without getting the word, but
the second time they went away, with
Patchen little in the lead. Robert j., at
Starter Warmers Go" went up in the air.
Driver Geers showed a mastery hanl in
quickly throwing the son of Hartford into
stride by pulling him to the outside of the
track. He was then six lengths behind,
but settled down to win the heat. Patchen
went the eighth in lG seconds, and was all
of six lengths ahead at the quarter. Jack
Curry, who was driving him, thought he
saw victory and the worlds record for the
black, when he passed the half far in the
lead, but the gelding was gaining and in
the third quarter was nearly at his side.
Down the home stretch Patchen still held
the lead until about the last furlong, when
the gelding made one of those spurts which
not even the liberal use of the whip could
make Patchen head off. There was great
excitement when it was found that the tim
of the heat made it, up to that time, the
fastest ever paced in race. The enthu-
siasm knew no bounds when the next heat
showed up with its second and quarter
faster time. In this heat Patchen seemed
a sure winner until almost under the wire,
when Robert J. forged length ahead
Curry tried the whip, but it was plain tha,
the black was going the fastest. The per
formance was SO satisfactory to the crowd
that both horses and drivers, owners, and
the driving club were given three cheers.
The third heat began with beautiful
start, but the geliing broke at the quarter,
and lost six lengths again. He settled down
and came il winner without seeming to be
pushed to his utmost. His winning spurts
in the last furlong caused tumultuous
cheers. The time by quarters:
