power light, while it seems this is
never furnished. He said that his eX-
perience had been thai incandeScents
are not satisfactory. One 80 candle
power incandescent ought to give only
one-sixtieth the light of an arc light.
Only right under the incandescent
can one see we'll. He favored plant
of 100 arc lights, as that is what the
people want and voted for. The pres
ent plans only call for eighty. He
moved that the ITO thirty two candle
power incandescent lights be stricken
from the specifications. This re-
ceived no second.
Aid. Zimmerman moved that the
plans offered be adopted, with the
several changed. Aid. Andrews
moved that the capacity be increased
to 100 arc lights.
A Little Discussion.
Aid. Peterson thought that Aid.
Andrews was working to throw the
whole matter over, as he knew how
much money the city has to spend on
the plant.
Aid, Andrews denied this and said
that the talk had all along been that
the city has not been well enough
lighted in the past. He wanted what
was done to be well done. He was I'M
willing to cast his vote for plant un-
fitted for the present necessities of
the city. Only one man, the D. & D..
man of Minneapolis, has said that a
plant can be put in for $4,000.
Aid. Zimmerman said that the
whole sewer and water plants were
not put in at once, but gradually ex-
tended. We would do the same with
the lighting plant, and make addi-
tions when the city can afford it, as
the plans were made with that idea.
Aid. Peterson said that the plant is
estimated to cost $4,000 to 5000, as
Aid. Andrews would like, the city
could not do it, but would be stopped.
The plans were adopted, only Aid.
Andrews voting "no."
Borrowing Again.
Mayor Weaver stated that he had
renewed a note for the city. The city
did not have money enough to pay the
salaries of last month, and he had
borrowed $1,000 at bank for thirty
days. These actions were endorsed.
Engineer Haynes stated that he had
had several applications for specitica-
tions from firms which want to bid on
the lighting plant. The lighting COM
mittee was instructed to procure
twenty-five copies of the specitica-
tiOnS.
The Bonds Sold.
Aid. Andrews moved that the bid
of Farson, Leach & Co. on the electric
light bond be accepted, at their bid of
S1O,43O. This is $11 less than Hay &
Co.'s bid, but repeated letters have
failed to elicit reply from them.
The motion was carried unanimously.
The committee on ways and means
was authorized to borrow $500, with
which Jacob Effer's estimate will be
paid.
Aid. Zimmerman moved that sealed
proposals be received until 400 p. M,
Oct. 18th, for furnishing and installing
an engine and electrical equipment
for lighting the streets by arc and in
candescent lamps, separate bids to be
received for engines and piping, cleo
trical apparatus and line construction.
This was carried, and the meeting ad-

The Mankato club has won three
straight games from the Minneapolis
league club, and shown itself to be
clearly superior to it in every way.
The game Friday at st. Peter
was glorious elimination of the
series, and over a hundred of our citi-
zens went down to witness it and in
cidentally to take in the Nicol!et
county fair. The ball game was the
great attraction yesterday and the
grand stand was crowded and the
diamond half surrounded. The day
was a good one for the game.
Howe was in the box for Mankato
and succeeded in striking out nine
men, and gave only three bases on
balls. mccarthy pitched for the Min
neapolis club until the eigth inning,
when the Mankatos found all his
balls and sent them over into unoc-
cupied patches of the field. Up to
this time the outcome looked dubious
for MankatO, the score standing
three to one in favor of the other side.
The eigth changed the complexion
of things and before it was over every
one of the Mankato boys made a
score.
