without the presen arrangements
the pumping station would flood in
six hours. The above cost due to the
high water does not include the cost
or the new pump purchased.
A recess was taken, after which
Aid. Andrews, for the street commit
tee, reported favorably upon the petit
tion of John A. and W. d. Willard
for the opening of street and alley,
provided that they permit Marshall,
Record and Liberty streets to be ex-
tended across their land without ex-
pense to the city.
W. ID. Willard said that their pur-
pose was to make streets to connect
with Marshall. Record, D and G
streets. If the city at any time feels
like opening these streets through
other property, the streets on the
Willard land would be found already
there.
The report was adopted.
Aid. Petersen moved that when
the council adjourns it be until next
Saturday night, and this was carried.
The street committee reported ad-
versely upon the petition for the
grading of Fifth avenue and Spruce
and Walnut streets, for the reason
that the expense would be about $500,
which it was not thought the adioin-
ing property owners would care to
pay. The report was accepted.
The street committee reported
favorably upon the petition for open
ing Walnut street to the Omaha
track. 1t was further recommended
that the established grade of the
street be made to conform with the
grade of the Milwaukee track, and
that this road shall not be required
to furnish flagmen at the crossing of
the street so long as it's train service
remains practically as at present. A
motion to adopt the report was de-
feated, Aids. Andrews and Bradley
voting aye, and Aids. Adams, Lille
and Petersen voting no.
Aid Andrews said that he had
learned that the cost Of improving
Fifth avenue and Spruce and Chest
nut streets might not be as great as
was thought. He moved that the
matter be referred to the Board Of
Public Works, and this was carried.
A proposition was received from W.
B. Craig, offering to settle the Third
avenue matter for $500 and an abate-
ment Of his sidewalk assessments.
Fowler & Pay also agreed to settle
with the city on the same terms.
The matter was referred to the COM
mittee on claims and accounts.
W. L. Comstock appeared for Mr..
Craig and Fowler & Pay and spoke in
regard to the matter. He said that
the price was reasonable, and recent |
sales showed the'market value of the |
land taken to be nearly $1,000. The
assessments were about $3.50. |
Mayor Weaver said that S. B. |
Wilson, Republican judge in the
Third ward, cannot serve, as he is on
the ticket, and that the committee
recommends W. D. Tompkins in his
place.
Aid. Bradley brought up the matter
of the grade of Locust street. 1t was
found to be in the hands of the street
committee.
The old city council held it's last
regular meeting Saturday night. It
will hold an adjourned meeting next
night to canvass the ballots.
The new administration will come in |
April 18th.
The council adjourned.

The last regular meeting of the
present council was held Saturday
night, and was presided over by
Mayor Weaver. All of the aldermen
were present, except Aid. Himmel-
man, who, with City Attorney Pau,
were too busy repairing their politi-
cal fences to attend the meeting.
A petition was received from
twenty property owners on Eighth
street in West Mankato, asking that
that street be graded from Baker
avenue to LeSueur street. 1t was re-
ferred to the street committee.
A petition was received. asking
that a sidewalk be constructed on
one side of Elm street and one side of
Spring street, between Front and
Willow streets. 1t had sixty
signatures, and went to the street
committee.
City Engineer Haynes reported
having granted building permits as
follows: Mary Buckley, % by 30 feet,
one story brick addition to store, to
cost 500; Thos. A. Sherk, A by $50
feet, two story and basement brick
store, costing $4,000; John Klein, %
by 40 feet two story brick store addi-
tion, costing $500.

The bills were read and allowed,
including the street pay roll of
SS17.4S.
Aid. Andrews asked the B. of P.
W. whether this was fair and
proper bill for street work in
March.
President Burgess explained that
The expense had been increased by the
nigh water, and the necessity of carry
ng the surface water off on the sur
ACE instead of through the sewers.
Fwo pumps had been set up and much
'epairing and fixing had been made
20 the two pumps for handling the
ewage. Guenther hill was another
ource of expense, as the water began
% cut the street up, and had to be
attended to. The cleaning of Front |
treet also required large force of
men. A large proportion of the $500 |
vas directly due to the high water.
3erhaps more was spent than was alb
olutely necessary. Engineer HAYNES
vas laid up, and the responsibility
anne on me and Mr.. Halstead.
Engineer Koke said that the high
7ater and new pumps made the ex-
ense great deal more. He explain
d where some Of the money had gone,
nd laid the blame on the high water.
he regular pump had to be stopped,
wing to water in the pit, and the
ew high pressure pump takes much
lore fuel.
President Burgess estimated the ex-
enditures due to high water at $500.

RHEUMATISM

his previous efforts, will De presented.
The piece is a satire on our militia, or.
as Mr. Hoyt puts it, in one of his hu-
morous veins: "A tribute TO our citi-
zen soldiers, by one vino would gladly
join their ranks if he knew how to
dance" 4 Mix White Flag" as al
ready announced, is a departure. Mr..
Hoyt does not claim il as a comedy,
farce, or an opera; he only announces
it in his usual modest way: "a musi-
cal entertainment" But il is said 10
be more full Of musical gems than an
opera. dressier than a society play, fun
nier than a farce, spicier than the va
rieties, more unique than a specially
show, as rich in grace and beauty az
fancy dress bali, and as replete with
good acting as the legitimate. Richard
Stahl, one Of Americas most able COM
posers, has supplied the music. Of which
there are more than 80 numbers, and
remembering Mr.. Stahl' former happy
efforts, it is only fair TO presume that
his work in "a Milk White Flag IS
brilliant and catchy. The piece is in
three acts. The first act represents the
quarters OF the officers Of the Ransome
Guards, the second act the reception
room at the house of Piggot Luce; the
third act, ground hall Of the armo-y.
Every stitch of scenery used in the pro-
duction was designed and painted by
Arthur Vogetlin and a pleasant revela-
ton in scenic art is promised. The cast
is the largest and strongest Mr.. Hoyt
has ever organized

and described various ways OF using
roller and ball bearings In harvesters.
Unquestionably the most practical and
satisfactory applications OF roller bear
ings TO binders and mowers has been
made by the Mccormick Harvesting
Machine Company. The Particular form
used by them was patented in 1882 and
is now to be found in all Mccormick
machines. The especially valuable fea-
ture OF the Mccormick roller bearing
is seen in the form--or cage as it is
called which hclds the rollers from

pany who claims TO be the originator of
roller bearings in harvesters has cut
out the metal in the ring at the ends OF
the rollers. II the cage is taken out

with grit, or worse, get lost. The
methods Of the Mccormick Company
result in an annual saving Of many
thousands of dollars to the farming
public. New devices are not embodied
in their machines until long and Oft
repeated trials have shown them to be
practical. 1t has been the same with

Oskaloosa dispatch: Rev. H. t. Col
by, the young Methodist preacher
from Lacey, who was recently cx-
oncrated by the Nahaslxa county
grand jury from charges of seduction
by his adopted sister, has been sus-
pended from the conference. For sew
eral days an investigation committee,
representing the Oskaioosa confer
cnce, has been at work on the case
and has found sufficient evidence to
convict him. He has been notified of
his suspension until the quarterly con-
ference in Pclla in July. 1t is under
stood that when Colby was before the
grand jury he broke down several
times while giving his evidence, and
especially so when doctor who had
waited OH the girl entered the room.
From this suspicious action the church
felt it their duty to inquire further,
and the later developments are said to
be quite sensational,
