TALK OF THE TOWN.
Everything You Hear Is the Cycle
Show.


Next Monday evening the Minneapolis Ex-
position will witness an occasion which will
recall to Minneapolitans the palmest days of
the Exposition, when people had to fight their
way in order to get inside. Current interest
in cycles assures a huge success. There will
be nearly hundred different exhibitors and
the list includes the leading manufacturers
in this country. 1t has received big indorse-
ments from the local merchants and the rail-
roads are pushing every effort to make as
large as possible the transient attendance.
Yesterday marked the completion of the cycle
track in the auditorium of the Exposition
building. Miss Farnsworth, the Minneapolis
champion rider, tested the speeding POSSIBLE
tiles of the track, and pronounces it the fast
est she has ever ridden on
The Cycling West, of Chicago has made an
offer to the management of the cycle show to
come here and publish daily paper during
the event.
All persons visiting the cycling show
will have the privilege of having placed on
their shoes a pair Of the celebrated Pratt
fasteners. H. D. Burnam of Chicago, will
present the display of Pratt fasteners at the
exposition, and is making arrangements to
distribute $4,000 Of these unique inventions
on this occasion.
An error was made the other day in stat
ing the plan of the certificate rate reduction
allowed by the Northwestern Passenger as
ISOLATION in honor of the cycle event. Certi-
ficates emitting the holder to the reduced
rate are furnished visitors at the Office from
which they buy single trip ticket to Min
neapolis. On attending the cycle show, this
certificate is stamped, and on presentation of
the stamped certificate at the ticket offices,
they are allowed return trip for one-third
of the regular single fare.

FOR GOOD ROADS.
Yesterdays Convention Fruitful of
Discussion.


There was a fair attendance at the good
roads convention yesterday. A. B. Choate
nominated Judge H. r. Wells, of Preston,
Fillmore county, for chairman. The election
followed and Judge Wells reviewed the growth
of the good roads movement since four years
ago he presided at one of the first state con-
ventions for the promotion of this purpose.
He said the good roads movement was max
ing greater progress than would seem on the
surface, particularly in the nature of public
interest and legislative encouragement by the
state.
P. V. Collins and John Hemphill were elect
ed secretaries. The chair appointed A. B.
Choate, Peter Daily and Mr.. Elwell commit
tee organization. The address of welcome
was given by Acting Mayor Fred B. Snyder.
The committee on organization reported that
the representation be fixed at twice the num-
Der of votes given to each legislative district
in the state legislature. 1t was also suggest
ed that the report of the proceedings would
probably be printed by the department of
agriculture if 1t were prepared. The commit
tee therefore suggested that stenographer
be employed to take down the informal dis
cusson. This report was adopted and w. w.
Pendergast, state superintendent of public
schools, read the first paper on Need of Bet
ter Roads, From a Moral Educational and
Social Point of View"
Other addresses were made by A. B. Choate,
Mr.. Montgomery, of Rose Town, and Mr..
DAILY, of st. Paul. At the afternoon session
DR.. Roscoe Jackson, of Faribault, read pa
per on 1.-THE Cost of Bad Roads"
Charles NJ. McCarron, county commissioner
Of Ramsey county, said the great trouble
about good roads was to get the money. He
advocated a state road tax, like the state
one mill tax. He also advocated a state tax
of one-fifth of a mill for building roads, to be
distributed and disbursed by a commission.
Mr.. Falvey, of st. Louis Park, pointed out
that the opposition of the farmers came from
the proposition to levy a money tax rather
than to have the farmers work out the tax.
He thought the farmers objected to the claim
that they were lazy when they worked out
their taxes. This was the cause of the op-
position of the farmers. He also advocated
the township method of MANAGING roads

MANITOBA IS WILLING.
The Province VIII Settle the School
Question If Let Alone.

OTTAWA, Ont, March 31.-Dspatches from
Winnipeg are to the effect that Manitoba is
willing to grant in effect all that is wanted in
the school question if left free to do so, but de-
clines to enact dual system of education.
II the commissioners can persuade the HER

rather than demand the strict letter of the
law, an understanding can soon be reached.
Some insist upon the, remedial bill going
through, as we'll as the compromise, and in
that case there will be no settlement. Sir
Mckenzie Bowel and Sanford Fleming are
expected to leave for England about the end
of April to attend thee conference upon the

SORT OF Go-As-YoU-PLEAsE.
Everybody Got There as Soon as
They Could.

Travel in the city last evening was practi-
cally abandoned 1t was too slippery and
stormy. to drill and going by street car was
about as doubtful as walking. Before supper
the various car lines began showing signs
of disability, and, as the fury of the storm
increased the running of street tears became
more and more difficult. 1t was the order of
the company to keep all cars moving as fast
and as long as possible, and 1t was frequently
the fate of luckless motoneer to be compelled
to get out with his shovel and do manual
labor None of the lines allowed themselves
to become completely paralyzed, but all suf-
fered more or less, and time schedules were
entirely disregarded. It was common to see
two or more cars running Immediately after
another on the same line. Passengers were
for the most part grouchy, and seemed to
blame the street car company for allowing the
storm to interfere with travel.
