800 before they get through with it
and it would be good thing for the
city treasury.
After a short consultation Aid.
Bradley offered a resolution extending
the time for putting in their ex-
change thirty days. Aid. Himmel-
man moved an amendment to the
effect that the company be required
to put up another 800 forfeit and
that the time be extended to 40 days.
The vote on the amendment resulted
in a tie Aid. Bradley, Fowler and
Fritz voting no and Aid, Adams,
Zimmerman and Peterson voting aye.
The mayor voted no and the amend
ment was lost.
The vote on the resolution was then
taken and resulted in tie the mayor
giving the casting vote and voted aye,
and the resolution was adopted.
Aid. Bradley called UP the matter
of the Minnesota street culvert. He
said the culvert ought to be straight
ened and it can now be done with
little expense. 1t is now filled in
with sand, and in a little while will
be filed full. If arrangements can be
made with no expense to the city for
strengthening the culvert and Warren
creek, it should be done.
Engineer Haynes said when the
same question was up before the
council a few years ago, there were
damages to pay. 1t was desirable
that it should be Strengthened if it
could be done without expense to the
city.
Aid. Bradley moved that the work
be suspended on the culvert until the
street committee finds out what can
be done in the matter. This motion
was afterward withdrawn as it was
learned the contractor would resume |
work on Monday morning.
The ways and means committee was |
to borrow $1,000 for SO |
days for interest on railroad bonds.
The usual bills were allowed, includ-
ing $500 for street work for the mast
two weeks.
Mayor Pau then read his appoint
ments as follows:
Health officer-J. A. Hielscher.
Health inspectors-Wm. Bradley,
Conrad Blocker and E. Thayer.
These were confirmed without
opposition.
He then announced the appointment

LITERARY NOTES

The complete novel in the May
issue of Lippincott's is "Jason Hid
reth's Identity" 1t is a story of un-
usual originality and power, turning
on an incident which has had prece-
dents in real life, the loss Of memory
and personal identity; but the plot is
so deep and skilfully laid that the
last pages will come as surprise to
almost every reader.

has De Lesseps' name been connected
with the Panama canal scheme that
most people have forgotten that he
hrst achieved fame by reason OF his
connection with the Sues canal The
idea of the De Lesseps statue origin
ated with Prince d'Arenberg, an old
friend Of the late promoter. He has in
duced the Suez Canal Company to set
aside liberal sum to defray the ex-

erection thereof. A very satisfactory
model has been produced by M. Frem-

gun the enlargement of his work. He
hopes to complete his task within the
course of the coming two years. M.
Fremiet makes public the statement
that as the banks of the Suez canal

be composed of granite quarried and
conveyed in sailing vessel to Port

pieces in bronze. which have been made
in France. These on arrival will be all
ready to place in position. At the base
OF the statue will be an immense med
allion containing the portraits Of the
Khedives who encouraged the piercing
of the isthmus. Each will be nearly six
feet In size, and the medallions will be
environed by large wreaths of laurel,

The Herald recently contained dis
patch from Berlin giving in brief the
news of the untimely death Of DR..
Wolfert, the distinguished aeronaut.
At the moment when the doctor seemed
about to realize the dream Of his life,
death overlook him, and in a few sec
onds he and his priced balloon were
burned to cinders. DR.. Wolfert got into
the balloon a few minutes after seven
o'clock in the evening, being accom-
panied by Robert Knabe, a young me-
chanician. The crowd, among which
were several army officers. wished
them good luck and then silently
watched the cigar-shaped ship as 1t
slowly mounted skyward. Excellently
1t seemed to move, and even those who
were not experts saw that the screw
was working splendidly and that the
craft was heading for the northwest.
For i've minutes the watchers looked
up admiringly, and then their admira-
tion was suddenly changed to horror.
Forth from the car of the balloon
flashed tongle Of yellow flame; then
a second later was heard crash like a
cannon shot, and at the sane moment
the entire balloon was enveloped in
mass of fire. Down the blazing ma
chine fell with amazing swiftness,
reaching at last the Ringbahnstrasse.
