Anderson Gained Three.

The aldermanic contest in the Sixth ward,
involving the question as to whether Alex
Swanson or Andrew Anderson received the
plurality of votes, was yesterday decided by
a recount at the city hall. The recount oecu-
material changes in the result, and no indi-
cations of fraud In fact, conzidered as a
whole, general surprise was expressed at the
accuracy of the work of the judges. The re-
suit was net gain for Anderson, he being al
lowed three votes which were ruled out at
the time of the election, and his plurality was
placed at 120.

Yesterday was the next thing to holiday
at the city hall. Almost the entire body OF
aldermen and city officials deserted their
wonted posts of duty and paid visit to the

NOT THE ONLY ONE.
Proposed Electric Line to Mime.
tOnISa Will Meet Opposition.

If the electric line to Minnetonka.
which pas proposed to the county com
missioners by H. c. Akeley, Monday, is
started, 1T will meet with the most
serious opposition. There is no doubt
but that the public would like to see an
electric line built to Minnetonka, but
under the existing circumstances it
seems hardly possible that any shrewd
business man would undertake to build
an extension Of the st. Louis Park line
and expect that it would pay.
The reason is simply this: That any
of the three railroads now running to
Minnetonka could equip an electric line
to the lake before the new company
would finish digging its post holes
Not only that, but the railroads could
do it at about one-tenth the expense
necessary to the new line.

May Not Rebuild.

The fire which destroyed the Northwestern
Christian college at Excelsior Sunday morn
ing may prove very disastrous affair for the
village, as it is by no means certain that
the building will be rebuilt in which case the
students and the families who have been at
tracted by the college will seek other schools
and homes. This will be a serious loss to
Excelsior, as the college people have been a
great acquisition both in point of numbers
and respectability.

CHlLDREN'S PROMISES.
Why IL Is Dishonorabie to Break Faith
with UnYs and Girls.

Parents and others constantly make
promises to little children which they
have not the slightest intention of full
filling. 1t is a promise for this and a
promise for that, and the only excuse
for neglecting to keep it (as is usually
the easel is that promises are soon
and easily forgotten by children. What
lessons for mothers and fathers to
instill into young minds! How many
times day IRE not some children
threatened with punishment for the
repetition of some mischief or offcnse,
which Is never carried out? The little
ones become so accustomed to such
threats that they arouse neither fear
nor respect. Promises and threats
should never he made unless one Is
prepared to fulfill them.
Promises are often required of little
children when they neither know nor
understand what sacred engagements
they are. Unless the parent respects
his promises, how are the children to
estimate the value or worth of them?
Is it right that children should be COM
PEELED to give promises with never a
thought of the burden of responsibility,
or with but faint idea of what loyalty
or disloyalty to the obligation may i'm.
ply? BE honest with the children.
If you promise, if you threaten, sec
that both are fulfilled. 1t will teach
the children to respect their own word
when given, and act us moral braceI

NOTES FOR BEEKEEPERS.

The queen bee is the only perfectly
developed female in the hive.
The queen lives several years and IL
useful as laying queen for three
years.
A young queen is more liable to pro-
ducc working progeny and an old ono
diones.
In the spring if frame of dirty comb
is put In the hive the bees will clean IL
up and make it fit for use.
Worker bees are undcveloped female
bees, and are Matched from the same
kind of eggs that the queens are.
The great advantage in using comb

saving in this way considerable time.
Any colony of bees can be readily
changed to pure Italians by simply re-
moving the old queen and introducing
