tural Department at Worlds
Fair to Receive Bronze
Medals.

Hon. ThoS. Kurtz, alternate to
Hon. H. B. Moore, national commits
sioner from Minnesota to the
Worlds Fair, has just returned from
Washington, and writes Mr.. Hunt,
late superintendent of Minnesota ex-
hibits at the Columbian exposition,
the following letter:
MooRHEAD, Mimi, 3-1S, 1885,
Hon. l.. Z. HUNT,
Mankato MINI.
DEAR SIR:-Before left Washington week
ago 1t was decided that instead of selecting five
names for medals and diplomas in our state
all parties to whom awards were made should
receive the full bronze medal, etc. ] also filed
letter asking for correction of the fax matte
so those individuals should receive the same.
L also looked after several missing ones as per
your report. think your report to be good
full one, excepting you omitted the awards not
directly under your care.
The above about the medals to all is news
has never been published anywhere.
Yours respectfully,
THOS. T.. kURTZ.
The above will prove decidedly
pleasant information to the 23O far
merS of Minnesota who were awarded
premiums on grains and seeds. AS
originally determined by the jury of
awards, only five of these were to be
awarded bronze medals, the balance
of the exhibitors to be given diplomas,
Now all are to get the handsome
medals.
The reason the superintendent did
not include in his report awards not
strictly under his charge was for the
very good reason that he had no
means of knowing to whom such
awards were made and for what pur-

Mr.. Benedict thanked the convention
for the favor which had been thrust

Mankato will soon have fourth
national bank, and by the way the
stock is being subscribed for it's doors
will soon be open for business. The
men back Of this enterprise number
some of our leading business men. and
merchants. Some of these names we
are not at liberty to mention, but the
fact that Senator Geo. t. Barr, Judge
Daniel Buck, J. G, Wise ST., Peter
Lloyd, w. j. Merchant, VIM. Irving
and j. M. Ewing are among those
who are interested is a sufficient
guarantee of its solidity and success.
Many other prominent business men
have promised to take stock.
The capital stock of the bank will
be 100000, and it has been deemed
best to have the stock distributed in
to a large number of blocks ranging
from 800 to $4,000 Each share is
placed at 800. A large amount of the
stock has already been subscribed for,
aggregating fully $4,000. In half an
hour this'forenoon 81, 500 of the stock
was taken. This indicates that the
remainder will be quickly subscribed
for, and outside capital stands ready
to take whatever is left over, should
there be any, which is doubtful.
The name of the new bank has not
yet been decided upon, but the fol-
lowing names have been suggest ed:
Commercial National bank, Merchants
National bank, Fourth National
bank, Farmers and Mechanics
National bank, American National
bank. The name and location will be
determined by the stockholders. 1t
is understood that there are several
locations in view.
The strong banking institutions we
have inMankato have heretofore been
able to accommodate the demands
made upon them, but there is good
reason to believe that another bank
would be successful and add to our
commercial Importance. Persons de-
string to subscribe for stock can, we
are informed, apply to any of the per-
sons above named.
1t is intended that the bank shall
be opened for business in June or
July. Fifty per cent. of the capital
stock must de paid in before the bank
is authorized to commence business,
and the remainder paid in monthly
installments of ten per cent. A blank
application has been received from
Washington for the organization of
the new bank.
The year 1895 gives promise of being
an important one for Mankato from
a commercial standpoint, and there
never was time when more or better
buildings were projected. Mankato
seems about to take a new start in
her onward career.

BOILERS INSPECTED.
Inspector Pearn Takes Some Sug-
geStiOnS.

2CSklOhS.
The following is the text of the re-
port made to the council Saturday
evening by Inspector Pearn, of the
Hartford Steam Boiler Inspection and
Insurance Co., with which company
the boilers at the pumping station
are insured:
''Internally-Both boilers are in
very good condition in regard to scale,
but there is little on rear heads be-
tween tubes and on bottom of shells
at rear end there is slight corrosion
and pitting on the bottoms of both,
but more especially No.. 2. All braces
sound and taut: steam domes are not
sufficiently braced for the pressure
carried, and four additional braces
will be necessary to equalize the strain
on heads, all openings clear.
"Externally-Shells, heads and tube
ends show no distress;seams free from
leaks; two rivets through the bevel of
No. l, over the furnace are leaking
slightly; fusible plug at rear head of
No. 2, and joints in steam pipes are
leaking. Safety valves and water
gauges working correctly; settings in
fair condition.

TION AND INSURANCE Co.,

number of aldermen-at-large reduced

A BAND ON HIS BILL.
The Big Pelican at the Park Was the
Only Performer, Yet the Crowd
Was Pleased.

Several hundred people were intensely
amused yesterday afternoon at the queer
antics of the usually dignifed pelican who
swlms around in Stow Lake at Golden Gate
Park. Of course, small boy was at the
bottom of it and the bird is undoubtedly
still won dering how it all happened.
The pelican enormous bill with its
membraneous sack has made the bird an
object of more than ordinary interest to
visitors. So much bread was thrown to it
for the sake of seeing the big bill open and
close that the pelican grew quite tame and
yesterday it swan up to take piece of
bread from the hand of small boy on the
bank.
The youngster had rubber band in his
hand. This he slipped over the big bird 5
bill. The pelican at once felt something
decidedly unusual had happened. He
tried to shake the band off.
The band didn't move; then the bird
opened its bill, but as it gave. its head an
impatient shake the muscles relaxed.
''Snap," the rubber band got In its work
and the mandibles came together with a
noise like the slapping of Stats.
The big bird looked surprised. Its round
| eyes were focused on its bill. which it
again essayed to open. But the rubber
band, being near the end, had too great a
leverage and the mandibles could get sep
arated four or five inches only to audibly
| snap together.
A most amusing struggle ensued. The
birds bill opened only to snap shut.
Each time the pelican was more surprised
than before. It tried to rub the band off
on its back. Then it stuck its bill under
| water and in the mud. Still the band
stuck.
Then the unhappy fowl made for the
land. AS it walked it lifted its big, broad
| feet unnaturally high, and after going a
short distance brought its right foot down
on its left. Then it couldn't pick the left
foot up.
The ungainly bird, with its big bill stuck
heavenwards, teetered for while and then
lost its balance and fell over. This re-
leased the foot and the pelican started for
the water, where it continued to struggle
with the tenacious band while the crowd
fairly shrieked its applause.

IN GOLDEN CATE PARK,
Many Listen to Popular Music
in the Peoples Pleasure
Ground.
Herr Scheel Did Not Weld the
Baton-Advice to the Long,
Haired Bicyclist.

Notwithstanding the fact that the winG
was high yesterday and there were great
clouds of dust many people went out te
Golden Gate Park, and those who wen1
were not sorry for the peoples pleasure
ground was protected from the heavy blow
outside its limits.
The conservatory was crowded, the n u
scum had its share of visitors, but tht
largest number assembled around the
band shell.
The programmes announced that Fritz
Scheel would direct the musicians as
usual, but the audience was surprised te
note his absence and to see A. Spadini
WELD the baton. What they missed in the
absence of Herr Scheel was made up in
the programme of popular selections pre-.
sented. Herr Scheel had made up his
mind to go to Los Angeles before the
selection of numbers had been decided
upon, so it fell to Mr.. Spadini to select
them. The manner in which every num-
ber was received and the loud calls for an
encore after each testified to the wisdom
in selecting music understood and appre-
ciated by the throngs who on Sunday visit
the park.
The entire Hawaiian band was for a
time in the audience and gave vent to its
Clan-
ping of hands. A solo from the'' Bohemian
GIRL by Walter Colverd, on the euphon-
ium, was applauded again and again.
While it cannot be denied that Herr ScheeI
presented some exquisite music that was
faultlessly performed, the comments
heard on all sides yesterday established
the fact that the programme presented
was better calculated to please those of
simple tastes who go to listen to the
music.
The young man who wears long hair,
rides bicycle and who was some time
since mistaken for a girl in male attire on
a bike, entertained great crowd of peo-
pie by trick bicycle riding. He displayed
great skill and was watched with interest.
He seemed to enjoy the attention he was
attracting until some one in the crowd
called out, Johnny, get your hair cut"
Then scowl came across his somewhat
feminine features and assuming the ordi-
nary position on his wheel he rode away.
The grand court remains very much in
the same condition that it was in when the
Midwinter Fair buildings surrounded it.
Nothing will be done by the Commission
ers until after it is ascertained how much
money will be appropriated for the park
this year. The band shell will be removed
to the grand court, but /, how it will be ar
ranged, said Superintendent McLaren, has
not yet been determined.
s'There are hundreds and hundreds of
bicycles in the park nowadays" said Cap
tain Thomson, "but very few teams, and
they seem to be growing less every Sunday.
To-day the course in front OF the music
stand was not half filled. / tell YOU that
the wheels are hurting the horse and buggy
business"
Travel to the ocean beach and Sutro
Heights was light, but few caring to face
