amendment Of the Interstate Commerce

cl. be urged to establish rate of % per
cent of the expense to be paid by the
city and rs per cent by the property
owners in the case of sewers. Under the
estimates made by the engineer, sewers
could be built on Minnesota Street from
the Brown County Bank corner to Third
North Street, and connection made with
the outlet now in the Park, at an ex-
pense of $5,2O2.50. This would be as
small section of work as we could
commence with. The engineer assures
US that his estimates are ample; that
they include margin for contingencies
of 20 per cent. On the basis of these
estimates, the cost per front foot to the
property owners for the section embrac-
ing Minnesota Street to Third North
would be SLIT. If it were desired to
take in a portion of Broadway, by ex-
lending from Hornburg's corner to that
street and thence south, say as far as
Boesch's residence, the expense would
be materially reduced. The expense per
front foot would then be only e1.64.
The same is true of an extension on Min
nesota S treet one block farther north,
which would reduce the expense Of the
whole to $1.36 per front foot.
The most convenient and economical
way for the city council to provide the
money for this improvement would be
to pass a resolution authorizing the is
suance of scrip for the amount of the
estimates. Such scrip to be in denomina-
tions of $s5 each, and payable in three
nstallments,-one third in cash, one
third in 80 days, and one third in 60
days; and to draw interest after it was
fully paid for at the rate of or per
cent per annum. If the property own
ers interested in the Improvements would
subscribe enough of this scrip to pay
for the portion of the work assessable
against the property, the city would in
cur no rlsk whatever, and could we'll af-
ford to bear the expense of its small
share of the cost. Those who subscribed
and paid for the scrip could of course
use this scrip in payment of their assess
ments. The balance could be held until
the city was ready to redeem it. So soon
as the city makes its tax levy for the
ensuing Jear, it will have ample author
ity to pass resolution Of the character
indicated because it will then have an
adequate amount of money levied for
public improvement. This is the only
plan that your comm ittee regards as

The Commercial Union held its regu-

Friday evening. The attendance was
unusually good.
The committee on legislation and pub
lie affairs, to whom had been assigned
the task Of suggesting a plan by which
the business portion of the city could
obtain proper sewerage without burden
ing the city with bonds or large amount
of Indebtedness, reported through Mr..
Lind as follows:
The Report.
At recent meeting of the City Coun-
ell, that body ordered plans and speclfi-
cations for a complete system of sewer
age for the city of New Ulm to be made,
and we are advised that the same have
been substantially completed and that
the estimates are on file in the City
Clerks office. The statements herein
made are based on such estimates.
We have carefully investigated the
provisions of the charter on the question
of sewers and find that the city council
has ample authority under the sanction
of the Board of Public Works to order
sewers constructed, the same as any 9TH
er improvement, and to assess the costs
thereof against the adjoining property.
AS to what portion of the cost should be
assessed against the abuttlng property is
of course a question. The city pays
one third of the expense of laying water
mains, but water, and the extension of a
water works system, is of more general
public utility than the construction of
sewers, so that it seems to us that the
city ought not to pay as large proper
tion of the cost of sewers as it does for
water. We suggest that the city coun.

GIBBS STRONG FOB LIND.
The Peoples Party Chairman ANXIOUS to
Have Him Nominated.

Chairman Gibbs of the peoples party
state central committee cannot be
switched off the path that leads to fair
and thorough cooperation by any of the
suggestions of the so-called middle-road
ers. The latter element has endeayored
all along to have him call the state con.
vention for some other date than that
on which the democrats convene and
likewise for some other place than Min
neapolis. But Gibbs has within the
past week written a letter in which he
fayors the Flour City and also the 18th
of June.
Of much greater significance is his ut
.terance, supporting plan of co-opera-
ton and Lind for governor. "Personal-
lY," says he, II want cooperation Of the
three silver parties this year. want to
see that grand man of the people, Hon
orable John Lind, nominated and elected
governor. want to see the entire state
ticket elected, from first to last" To
accomplish the various ends which he
designates, Chairman Gibbs writes: SIT
is absolutely necessary, not only that the
three parties cooperate, but that it be
done IN terms of the utmost fairness
The mid-road element has claimed Gibbs
at various times and this definition OF his
position will seriously affect their show
ing before the state at large.

Carlson of st. Peter had quarrel with

From Juan Fernandez the Spray was
headed for Samoa, group of Islands sad

ter the vessels arrival Capt. Slocum was
honored with a surprise visit from Mrs
Stevenson. This lady before he continued
on his journey presented him with a set
of sailing directions which used to belong
to the lamsnted novelist. The run to Sa-
moa occupied sixty-two days the longest
Of the Sprays runs, and 5000 miles were
covered. This was due to the circuitous-
ness of his course. Leaving Samoa he sail
ed for New South Wales, then to Victo-
ria and Tasmania, sailing back afterward
up the coast of New South Wales, along
the coast of Queensland, through the Won
derfully surveyed Inner Barrier reefs,
then through Torres straits TO Keeling
and other Islands in the Indian ocean, to
Rodriguez and Mauritius, Natal and Cape

Capt. Joshua slocum has circumnavl-

made both a remarkable and a unique
record.
He has been alone in his 30-foot long
lugger-rlgged boat, the Spray, flying the
Stars ana Stripes. for three years, sail
ing the great oceans, and has crossed his
track on the return voyage. In a few
days, when he reaches New York. he viii,

promises to be completed successfully in

When few years ago he made hie

sons In the rocker-keeled boat Liberdale,
sailing from Brazil around the Horn for
1000 miles he thought ne had accomplish
ed a great feat but now in a tiny boat and
entirely alone he has sailed over three
great oceans for more than six times THAI
distance.
1t was on April o. 1895 that Capt. Slo-

Dor and moved out into the Atlantic and he

could get into port and the harbor mas
ter get aboard.
Soon it was known that the Spray with
Capt Clocum aboard, was in port, and
when the people were told of his remarka-
bic voyage he was quite a lion. Capt
SlOcum said he was last from the Island
of Ascension.
"What kind of run did you have from
