The Proposition.

After the council had reached the
conclusion that Il temporary con-
tract could be made with the Elec-
trio & Water company for lights and
hyu:-ants, Mr.. Berkey made u prop
osition that the company. would
supply the present street lights and
hydrants pending the suit over the
contracts for $4,000 year. That is
about 20 per cent less than the con-
tract price, but it is a good deal
better for all the interests of the city
than to have the services withdrawn.
Both the company and the city are
anxious for an early decision OF the
courts, and the company is certainly
willing to concede something to the
council in order to maintain business
connections with the city pending
the suit. The company and city can
injure each other, but the general
public would not be the gamer. 1t
is probable that u temporary adjust
ment will be reached in the next
month

CITY Schools Close June II.

A special meeting of the board OF
education was held at the secretary's
office May Z. at 4 p. m. All the
members were present. A committee
Of the city teachers appeared before
the board and in behalf OF the
teachers presented petition that
they "be not required to make up
the two weeks lost through sickness
referring to the time when the
schools we're closed because OF the
prevalence of measles, and that they
"be paid salary in full for said time"
The board after duly considering the
petition decided that in order to
complete the full school term of nine
months, that the two weeks lost
shall be made up, and the schools
will close on the date previously
fixed by the board, ~: June K. 1896.

BEFORE THE COURT.
The Award of the City Print.
ing Will Be Considered BY
the Court.

A temporary Injunction has been
secured to prevent the making Of a
contract between the city and the
Little Falls Printing company for
the city printing, as the council
voted to do ut their first meeting in
May. The INDUCTION also prevents
the council from declaring the Herald
the official paper of the city. A
hearing will he had before Judge
Searle in st. Cloud on Saturday
afternoon, May 16, at $3.50 to
determine whether the temporary
Injunction shall be made permanent.
The Injunction was asked because
the council had endeavored to con-
tract the city printing to u paper
that bid seven times as high as the
lowest bidder.
1t does not seem possible that the
council had Il right to do such Il
thing. but II it has the right the
court will put the question beyond
doubt, and it will then be determined
that n city council can legally ap-
prOpriate large sums OF public
money to reward a friendly news
paper. Candidates for the council
could then know that they could
legally deliver any public funds they
promised.

A party of Minneapolis people ar

on fishing trip. The party
included B. F.. Nelson. Mr.. and
Mrs. Lucian r. Swift. Mr.. and Mrs.
W. Z. Haskell and E. A. Bromley.
Mr.. Swift is the manager Of the Min
neapolis Journal, and Messrs. Has
kell and Bromley are connected with
the Minneapolis Times. The party
were the guests Of b. F. Nelson,
president of the Hennepin Paper
company. The special car was left
here by passenger train No. l. and
the visitors were driven around and
given view Of the entire city. They
visited the Hennepin Paper Mill, the
saw mills and the large log jam up
river. Photograph views OF the lat
ter were taken by the party and they
will be reproduced In the daily pa-
pers which they represent. The
party were riding in the private car
OF A. l.. Mohler, general manager OF
the Minneapolis & st. Louis railroad,
who expected to accompany the
party, but on account of other bust
ness could not do SO. The party ate
supper at the Buchanan last evening
and their special car was attached
to the midnight train, and they con-
tiaued their journey to ,Leech lake
by way of Staples.
Messrs. Swift and Haskell represent
two Of the leading dalies OF the Twin

Some Peculiar People.

Little Falls is one of the Minnesota
cities which possess peculiar people
and who arrange matters in which
they control to suit themselves re-
gardless OF policy or expense. The
city council, recently elected in that
city on an economical PLATFORM, at
their last meeting awarded the city
printing to the Herald, although the
bid of that paper was several times
higher than the bid of the Transcript
or Democrat. The Herald supported
the present administration in their
election, the platform being to re.
duce expenses, and it seems that the
council appreciated the action, but
what will the dear people think OF
the summersault taken by the
gentlemen in their attitude.-Brain.

THE CITY PRINTING.
New Bids Will Be Received
on Next Monday
Evening.

As will be seen by the report of the
city council proceedings the council
RECONSTRUCTED the acceptance Of the
Herald bid and the Instructions for
the contract at H. price seven times
more than the lowest bid. 1T is
probable that the council did not
believe their action would be sus-
tanned in court, and the matter was
to come before Judge Searle on
Saturday, May 16. New bids have
been invited for MaylS. The major
ity of the council doubtless have
their reasons for calling forpew bids,
but the public generally cun see no
necessity for it. 1t is possible that
the condition under which the
Herald bid was before made. placed
it at a disadvantage. if the bids
were to considered on their merits.
and for that reason the majority OF
the council felt under obligations to
have new bids made. The program
arranged between the Herald and
some of the alderman for awarding
the printing was very foolish and it
is not probable that it will be
attempted again. 1t was q mighty
poor way to attempt to 40 public
business, and did not reflect credit
on any OF the parties concerned. 1t is
fair to accept the new invitation for
bids to be made in good faith, and
that bid that is made for the city g
interests " i'll be accepted.

BRlDGE-FERRY.
Royalton Business Men Meet,
Talk and Plan for a Ferry .
#$a 7. and Bridge. rs#

-.lr + q
A citizens meeting, was held at the H'f
engine house Friday evening to talk
up the practicability of establishing
free ferry at or near the site Of the
Mississippi bridge recently taken out
by high water. Dr.. Lonsdale called
the meeting to order and briefly
SITS ted it's object. Geo. E. Putney
was then chosen chairman and Geo.
E. Wilson secretary. After the mat
ter was discussed at considerable
length it was voted to appoint a
committee of three to confer with
citizens of Elm Dale and Two Rivers
with a view of ascerraining If they
would be willing to contribute some
thing toward the operating expenses
of the ferry. The chair appointed 3.
Fietsam, Geo. E. Wilson and Frank
Armstrong as such committee. A.
C. Wilson, G. I. Dakin and j. H.
Russell were appointed a committee
to ascertain the probable cost OF a
ferry. Both committees were given till
Monday evening to report. Meeting
then adjourned till Monday evening
at 8 O'Clock.
There was a good attendance
Monday evening. The committee
appointed to learn the cost Of u ferry
reported that boat could be built
for about $3.50. The othercommittee
reported that the people ON the west
side of the river were anxious to get
u ferry and were willing to contribute
toward operating the same.
T. W. Bell started the bridge ball
rolling and the ferry question was
entirely lost sight Of. He thought it
was folly to waste time over ferry,
q bridge was what we wanted and
must have. Others spoke in the
same line, the almost Unanimous
sentiment being in favor Of a bridge
if it was a possibility. The question
of voting bonds were talked of, some
being in favor Of asking both Two
Rivers and Elm Dale to vote bonds
in aid of the bridge; Others thought
it not advisable as the people out
there were opposed to voting conds
on general principles, and then 1T
was more than probable that out
side influences would be brought to
bear against such measure, as was
the case on two previous occasions,
and the bonds would he defeated.
Popular subscription, some thought,
would be the better way, but that
too, had it's serious drawbacks, az
experience had taught us. 1t was
finally voted that the chair appoint
a committee of three to confer with
the town boards of Bellevue and
Two Rivers In regard to advertising
for bids at once. The following COM
mittee was appointed: l. W. Bouck.
J. H. Russell and Geo. E. Wilson.

A WONDERFUL INVENTION.

Machine Which Measures tho Velocity of
Cannon Balls.
Among the recent inventions in the
art of photography is that of the polar
izing photochronograph made by Pro.
lessor Albert Crehore of Dartmouth COL
lege and DR.. George o. Squire, first
lieutenant Of the United States army,
now stationed at Fortress Monroe.
The wonderful effects of the photo
chronograph will probably be demon
strated to the general public upon the
completion Of this instrument in the
spring. John A. Brashear, an astro-
nomical manufacturer Of Pittsburg, has
been given a contract for one of these
wonderful machines. It is to. be set up
at Fortress Monroe, and will be used
the coming summer in testing the We
locity. of the modern rifle projectile, as
it swiftly speeds from the mouth of the
great guns made by the United States
ordnance department. Mr.. Brashear
says it is expected that the machine
will be completed by the middle Of
April, as the government officials desire
to have it about the LIST of May.
This instrument not only measures
the velocity of the swiftest cannon ball
in its fight, but measures it inside or
outside of the gun and at any part of
it's course desired, to degree Of accu.
racy hitherto undreamed of.

Platte Drive will Start.

: A part of the Platte river drive,
which is IN charge of Chas. Gravel
and James Muncy, will be started

and was sent up river Monday. tits
! the intention of Messrs. Gravel and
Muncy to begin driving oil the logs
below Round lake ut once, and at
soon as the ice leaves the lakes u
crew will he put on to get the lake
logs out also. There are about
5000, 900 feet below the lakes and
with good luck the managers of the
drive hope to get into Rice lake In
time to join G. B. Buckman's drives
from Skunk and Hilman.
There are about l7,OOO,OOO feet on
the lakes at the head OF Platte river,
Including the old logs, and the IN
dicatioDs are now that they cannot
be started for ten or twelve days as
the ice is still very thick. There is a
good driving stage OF water on
Pla tie now, and with the dams all
repaired that were damaged when
the ice went out, there il no doubt
but there will be plenty of water to
drive out the lake logs.
Men have been at work repairing
the Gravel vile dam for several days,
and not only the dam, but the bridge
that went out with it will soon be
replaced with good substantial
structures. Dam "33'' will also be
repaired Immediately.

be an effort to have the main road,

The association will then take up in
turn and accomplish the laying Of side
walks. These walks will be either of
blue stone or flags. Then system Of
public water supply will be introduced

Glass, bullets and many foreign
bodies, imbedded in the flesh Of various
individuals, have already been discov-
cred by means Of the Roentgen rays.
Dentists have examined the inside Of
their patients teeth, needles have been
hunted to their lair in muscular tissue,
and the human brain has been looked
into. But the most unique use to which
these rays have been thus far applied
seems to be the photographing of set
Of false teeth which a man drew into
his stomach in fit of coughing.
