OBJECTIONS.

There is no point in the city along
the river front that bridge could
enter with the necessary approaches,
where it would not meet with opposi-
tion, yet the right of way must be
granted on some street, if we ever ex-
pect to have bridge. Capitalists will
not invest $3.50, 900 in bridge for fun,
nor for our advantage alone, nor to
add a pleasing architectural feature to
our city. They expect to make money
out of the enterprise. We want to be
hurt as little as possible and make the
as much as possible out of the increased
trade &c. The advantages must be
mutual, also the sacrifices. Some
think Fifth street would be the best
place for the bridge, that the property
there is of less value and would cost
the company less than at Post street
Some object to the Post street route
and say it would ipjure Front street

Finally Shot Hmself.

BRAINERD, Mimi, April S.-Willie
Lazotte, aged II years, committed sui
eide near Pine River under peculiar
circumstances. The boys father had
been in the habit of having him write
orders for supplies to be filled at the

send him to the reform school. The
boy left the table, went into an ad-
joining room, picked up a shotgun and

EQUINE STARS WILL BATTLE.
National Derby to Be Decided at ST. Louis
To-Day--Ben Brush VIM
Start

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, June 19.-The premier
event OF the American turf will be brought
off tomorrow at the Fair Grounds track,
when the National Derby, guaranteed to
be worth $4,000, will be raced for by a
splendid field OF track aristocrats.
Mike Dwyer arrived this morning with
his two cracks, Ben Brush and Ben Eder.
and Byron McClelland brought in Prince
Lief and Nimrod. Ben Brush and Prince
Lief are given top weights-127 pounds
each-while Don GARLIC and Argentina
are burdened with only 119 and lit re-
spectively. All the others are imposed
liz pounds.
According to the handicappers, every
horse seems to have a chance, and the
betting will be lively.
1t is thought Don Garlic is in too speedy
company, though he is good hrisher for
distance races. Captive, Byron McClel-
land, Loki and Argentina are punched as
possibilities, and some of the knowing
ones nod when Captive is mentioned.
The track was never faster than it is to-
night, and a clear sky promises fair
weather tomorrow.
