BIDS ON SIDEWALKS.

Yesterday afternoon the board of
public works opened bids for furnish
ing the material and laying new stone
or cement sidewalks on Front street
under the direction of the city engi-
neer. Only two bids were received,
one on sawed or bush-hammered stone
at 49, cents per square foot by L. r.
Coughlan; and the other on cement
walks by S. A. Davies, as follows: five
and six inches thick, IA cents per
square foot; four inches thick, ID
cents; three inches thick, II cents.
The board desired to contract with
Mr.. Coughlan for all the walks needed
next year, but he said that his bid
was so low that he did not desire to
do so, consequently he secured the
contract for the two walks to be laid
at once, in front of the property Of
Messrs. Boegen and Lieb on North
Front street, near Rock street.

COMPANY ALL RIGHT.

Having heard report that an agent
for another company having claimed
that the Mcpherson Farmers 1nsur-
ance Co. was no good, Mr.. Mich Juliar
wrote to the state insurance commits
sioner for information, and received
the following reply:
ST. PAUL, Oct. %.
Hon. N. Juliar, st. CLAIR, Mimi
DEAR SIR-Yours of the 25th is at
hand, stating that gentleman living
in Mapleton has letter from me stat
ing that there is only one farmers
company in B ue Earth county, and
that your company is no good.
| would state that on June 10th l
wrote Mr.. Sprague, of Mapleton stat
ing that the only licensed companies
in your county were the Shelby and
the Pleasant Mound Mutual. [ gave
him this information after looking
over the township license book. l
was undoubtedly busy at the time
and did not look up the matter care
fully enough, but | did not state that
your company was no good. If | had
thought of your company at all L
should have remembered that it was
in irst-class condition and would
have said So Yours truly,

STREET SPRINKLlNG.
The Contract for Laying the Dust Ex-
pires Today.

VIM. Pages contract with the city
for doing the street sprinkling ex-
pires today, but as he is paid weekly,
he will continue the work until Satur-
day night. If the council desires that
dust shall not be added to darkness it
will vote to continue the sprinkling
as long as it is needed, for dust is dust
in November as we'll as in July. I'm
less the city fathers act, the board of
public works will order all sprinkling
except upon Front street to cease.
The cost of sprinkling to Nov. LIST
will be 2,4OO15, as against 81, l9O.o8
last year, and So, OO5 in 1893. The in
crease in cost is due to the enlarge
ment of the territory and trifling
advance in the price. The assessment
per lot will be very little more than
last year.

RUSHING THE WORK.
Contractor Carroll has Only Three
Weeks Left,

The limit allowed Contractor Car
roll for the compl elton of the govern,
ment building so far as called for in
his contract expires Nov. goth. Mr..
Carroll visited the city today, and is
putting forth every. effort to get as
nearly done as possible by that dat e
but does not expect to have the fin
ishing touches on then. There are
sixty-six men at work on the build.
ing today, and this force will be still
further increased. Mr.. Carroll has
all of G. w. Babcock's men at work
here, and part of Mr.. Burns crew.
of Kasota, and all of Ulmen'S men, OF
St. sPaul. Six stone cutters arrived
today, to go to work on the roof
Twenty-eight stone masons and cut
tiers are now at work on the tower
and Mr.. Carroll expects to have that
part of the building up by Saturday
night. The derrick has been set fol
the last time. The water connec'
tions were completed yesterday with
out further trouble from the city.
Mr.. Carroll states that his contract
does not include the clock, and that
the four large holes for the faces will
have to be boarded up. A good clock.
he says will cost about 81, 500.
The plans for the heating plant
have been promised to architect Ger
ZACH within a few day, and are ex'
pected at any time. Bids will then
have to be solicited and received, and
another long delay is likely to occur
here. Mr.. Carroll cannot finish his
contract until he can see the plans
for the heating plant, and On account
of the delay which he has no power
to avert he will probably not be held
strictly to the limit of time allowed
in the contract, especially as he is
showing a desire to push work.

Architect Curry, of Chicago, Sc
cured the contract for the LIE Sueur
Center court house. III. G. Gerlach
stood second best. Mr.. Curry claimed
that his building could be put up for
$35, 900, while Mr.. Gerlach put his figure
low at $40, 900 and offered to guarantee
it. The LIE Sueur people would have
done wisely to have taken Mr.. Ger
lach's plans.
Gen. J. III. Baker and family moved
into the city yesterday, occupying the
residence lately purchased of Prof.
Soaring. The latter has moved his
household goods to his farm and has
taken rooms at w. w. Paddock's resi-

DIVIDING THE LAND.
Rush Lake Goes to Eight Adjacent
PROPERTY Owners.

Rush lake, between this city and
Lake Crystal, has been surveyed into
25-acre lots and divided among eight
adjacent land holders, each one get
ting his share. This was an agree
ment entered into by those owning
the land bordering on the lake, says
the Lake Crystal Union. The water
in Rush lake at one time covered
section of country of over 200 acres,
but as the rains and fall Of snow grew

ually to recede, until it has finally
disappeared, and in it's place grass
and weeds are grown. After the
tract has been divided as above stated
bitches will be run through it in Vari
Gus directions for future drainage in
case we have long continued wet
spell, which is, however, not likely.
This part of the country has under
gone a wonderful change so far as
moisture is concerned. The winters
are not so long or so severe as they
were years ago. In olden times snow
fell to depth of from 3 to 4 feet DUR
ing the winter, and IN the spring we
had a number of successive days rain
fall, which filed up the lakes, creeks,
rivers and ponds to overlooking. We
hardly believe the time will ever
come again when our lakes will fill
and streams overflow.

SOUTH BEND ROAD.

The steam roller was taken over tC
South Bend yesterday on a freight
car without difficulty, the only hard
work being in getting the roller onto
the car. The stone on the road has
been broken by hand, and river gravel
has been placed over it, and only a
good rain is needed to put the road in
the best possible condition, after be-

road up the Matthews hill is progress
ing satisfactorily, but some blasting
will be necessary at one point.

Vernon seems to have it's share of
thieves. M. B. Randell returned
from Lake Crystal oni the TAO
train Saturday night, and
jumped from the train as it
neared the depot, and started for
home on the railroad track. AS he
came to the Barnes crossing two men
overlook him, knocked him down and
held revolver at his head and de-
manded his money or life. They
took $3.50, his watch and knife and
told him to run or they would shoot
him, they hiding themselves in the
darkness. AS soon as he knew what
he was about he came back to town
badly bruised, but nothing could be
found of the men. Conductor Smith
was sent for and came up Sunday
morning. He said two men had
tickets for Vernon Center besides Mr..
Randell, and he noticed them partic-
ularly, as he did not like their looks,
also said that Mr.. Randell got off the
train first and started home, and the
other men started in the same direc-
tion. He thinks he could identify
the men if he should see them. 1t is
supposed they jumped the train going
north, twenty minutes later.

A PREMIER's NERVE.

Rebuked Newspaper Man for HIS
Report of an After-Dinner Speech.
Many years ago the late Sir John
Macdonald was present at a public
dinner at which he was expected to de.
liver a rather important speech. In the
conviviality of the occasion he forgot
the more serious duty Of the evening,
and when. at late hour, he rose, his
speech was by no means rs luminous
as it might have been. The reporter,
knowing that it would not do to print
his notes as they stood. called on Sir
John next day and told him that he
was not quite sure Of having secured
an accurate report.
He was invited to read over his
notes. but had not gone far when Sill
John interrupted him with THAT is not
what I said" There was a pause, and
Sir John continued: LET me repeat
my remarks" He then walked up and
down the room and delivered most
impressive speech in the hearing of the
amused reporter. who took down every
word as it fell from his lips, Having
thanked Sir John for his courtesy, he
was taking his leave when he was re-
called to receive this admonition:
young man, allow me to give you this
word of advice: Never again attempt
to report public speaker when you
are drunk. San Francisco Argonaut.
