CEMENT WALKS,
Hutchinson Men Here to Secure
Contracts.

Nj. G.. Madsen and P. J. Kaer came
over from Hutchinson last Thursday
afternoon, on invitation of Mayor F.
w. Philbrick, who is figuring on put
ting in cement sidewalk around his
store on the corner of Washington
avenue and Third street. The two
gentlemen claim to be experts in the
cement sidewalk business, Mr.. Madsen
having patented machinery for certain
portions of the work. The latter is
also the owner of the Hutchinson Brick
and Tile factory, where he manufact-
ures aside from brick and tile, cement
sidewalks, curbstones, street crossings,
door stills, etc.
By the process adopted by Mr.. Mad
sen for cement sidewalks all dirt, clay
and fine sand is removed by the pro-
cess of washing from the sidewalk
material. The material is surfaced
with a carefully proportioned compo-

sidewalks, when the replacing about
every three or four years is considered.
The plan of the work is to fill in un-
der with several inches of sand. Then
comes the concrete formation Of the
walk, about an inch and half thick
and on top of this is a perfectly smooth
layer of about half an inch in thick
ness of fine sand and cement. The
longer this lays the more solid it be-
comes. Before the formation assum-
es solid shape it is marked off in
squares, thus preventing the frost or
cold weather, in case it should effect
the same, from making any extensive
crack. and also to make the work of
repairing great deal easier.
Mr.. Philbrick will put in the walk
around his entire building, making
about so feet on Washington avenue
and about 120 feet on Third street.
Others who have signified a willing
ness to have the walk put in in front
of their business property is VIM.

man who owns about sixty feet. Both
of these gentlemen are renters and
are anxious to have walk that will
not have to be replaced every three or
four years.

sition of high grade Portland cement,
and fine, sharp, washed gravel. This
causes it to assume with age a flint
like hardness, and with a properly
laid foundation, is absolutely FROST
proof.
The two gentleman were introduced
to large number of property owners
in the business portion of the city with
a view to securing contracts for several
blocks of the walk, and from all of
them they received more or less en-
enlargement. At this particular time
the city is unfortunate in not having
it's curbstones in, and consequently,
in case contracts are lot the city or the
property owner will have to put in the
curbstones. This work is claimed to
be the burden of the city, but num-
Der of the property owners seen by the
cement sidewalk mon stated that if
the city would not cause the curb
stones to go in at once they would
take it upon them selves to put it in.
The cost of the work is about $1.lO
per foot, including the putting in of
the curbstone. In case the city puts
in the curbstone the cost to the pro-
perty owners for the side walks will
be only IS cents par front foot Of
eight feet walks, a great deal less than
brick sidewalks and certainly a great
deal cheaper than the present plank

SEWER CONTRACT
Awarded to Smith & Co. of Min
eapolis.

The city council held special meet
ing Monday night and awarded the
contract for the construction of the
sewer systems on Second street from
Washington avenue to a point just
east of the county Jail, on Court House
Place from Second street to the court
house. and on Washington avenue
from Third to Fourth and on Fourth
to the school house, to K. A. Smith &
Co. of Minneapolis, for $l,l75.S0
There were four bids altogether.
Elliott Bros. of Minneapolis, bid ST.
585, Canay Bros. of Minneapolis, bid
ST. ,548.5O and P. H. Thornton of ST..
Paul, who was the single bidder on
the Second street contract a month
ago bid ST, 35035. The number of
feet in the new system is 2,0lO and
the successful bidder puts in the 260
feet of 10 inch sewer at So cents per
foot, remarkably low figures without a
doubt.
AS part of the contract the city
furnishes the manhole covers and also
the special castings for the electrical
flush to be put in at the end of the
Second street line. This fushes the
sewer of it's own volition every so
often, according to the fixed gauge.
Another act of the city council was
to allow property owners desiring to
use the city water for spriDkling
lawns to connect with the same for
that purpose without connecting the
residence or barn. The price to be
paid is five cents per front foot of l2O
feet in depth.
A plumbers license was granted to
G. Fred. Thompson.
John Lauterbach was elected
health officer for two years and G. w.
Mead for three years. DR.. Gibson is
the other officer.

When a person begins to grow thin
there is something wrong. The waste
is greater than the supply and it is
only question of time when the end
must come.
In nine cases out of ten the trouble
is with the digestive organs. If you
can restore them to healthy condition
you will stop the waste, put on new
flesh and cause them to feel better in
every way. The food they eat will be
digested and appropriated to the needs
of the system, and normal appetite
will appear.
Consumption frequently follows a
wasting of bodily tissue because near
ly all consumptives have indigestion.
The Shaker Digestive Cordial will re-
store the stomach to healthy condi-
ton in a vast majority of cases. Get
one of their books from your druggist
and learn about this new and valuable

CAUSED A STIR
Reports of Injunction in the Unior
Pacific Case

OMAHA, Neb., Oct. 30.-For a time
today there was great excitement in
railroad circles in this city over the re-
rort that an injunction had been asked
preventing the sale of the Union Pacific
road under foreclosure next Monday
The report first came through a dispatch
from Dow, Jones g. Co. of New York
but in short time the story came in
from other points and the officials of
the Union Pacific and other interested
parties began to believe that where
there was so much smoke there must be
some fire. 1t was impossible to substan-
tiate the story, however, and it is not
thought here that there is anything in it,
ST. PAUL, Mimi, Oct. 30.-The United
States circuit court today heard three
motions for foreclosure DEGREES in suits
to foreclose mortgages in the central
branch of the Union Pacific, the Atchi-
son, Colorado and Pacific and the Atchi-
son, Jewel County and Western roads,
three branches of the Union Pacific.
Judge Sanborn heard the arguments
and referred the case to w. D. Cornish,
master in chancery, to report the facts
and the form of decree by December 9Th.
1t should be understood that these cases
have no reference to the sale of the main
line of the Union Pacific.
