How BICYCLES KILL SPARRows.-

How BICYCLES KILL SPARRows.-
On almost every cycle path in Mime
apolis, says the Tribune OF that city,
may be found.the dead bodies of spar
rows. To the greater number OF those
who travel over the paths it has always
been mystery why the sparrows
should be found on the path instead OF
on the road. Ifthey had been injured
there were plenty of other places for
the disposition of their bodies, but for
one found elsewhere there were al
ways four or FIVE on the cycle paths.
The secret of it is this, vouched for
by many cyclists; The sparrows, in
flying close to the ground, have occa.
sion many times to dodge bicycle. AS
the wheel revolves rapidly they do not
see the spokes and make dash to get
through. The result is, of course, fatal
in almost every instance, and the body
of the bird is left lying on the cycle path.

AWARDED TO WICKERSHAM.
Council Opens Bids for Plumbing the
Central Fire Station.

The council held special meeting
Saturday night to open bids for doing
the plumbing at the new central fire
station. All of the aldermen were
present, and Vice-President Peter.
sen presided.
Bids were opened as follows: Ed,
Schumacher, s647 Masters & Nc
Lauren, 5000; Maukato Plumbing and
Heating Co., S57S; E. q. Wickersham,
$3.50.
A good deal of talk was had over
the specifications, which did not in
clude watering trough shown in the
plans. MI Schumacher figured on
the trough, but the others did not.
City Attorney Pau held that if
either the plans or specifications
showed the trough it should be in
cluded in the work to be done, as the
contractor is supposed to do all of the
work called for in both or either.
The point was made that the plans
do not show the size of the trough.
Aid Bowler suggested that it might
be we'll to advertise again for bids,
but Mr.. Wickersham said that if it
came to that he would put in the
trough. On Aid. Fowler's motion the
contract was awarded to Mr.. Wicker
sham, to include the trough and it's
connections. The proper city officials
were authorized to sign the contract
for the work, which is to be complet-
ed within thirty days.
The council adjourned without
transacting any further business.

TALKED RAILROAD.

The Board oil Trade Moves to Look After
Other Lines of Road.
At the board of trade Monday
The Mankato free press. [volume] (Mankato, Blue Earth County, Minn.) 1879-1924, 1898-12-16

the railroad question was discussed
to considerable extent. The railroad
committee reported that nothing had
been done as yet along the line which
1t was directed two weeks ago. Jno.
n Hall said that Mankato had sew.
eral strings that it could pull and
thought one or all of them should be
taken hold of in an energetic manner.
He said that the big lines that were
likely to build in a manner that
would prove beneficial to Mankato,
were all in good shape, and if the
matter was pushed something might
result from it.
A general discussion followed
wherein the opinion was expressed
that more benefit could probably be
obtained by pulling for some outside
line than by working with the lines
that now enter the city. After an
extended discussion it was moved
and carried that the railroad commit
wv VI UbO OOulu UC W fISlU
Chicago in connection with the COM
mitUee appointed by the citizens
meeting for the purpose of looking
after the general railroad interests of
the city. 1t was brought out pretty
clear that it was the towns that went
after the railroad Improvements and
kept after them That got them, and
the intention is that the interests of
the city as pertains to railroads shall
be fully presented to other roads that
are looking for business in the north
west. 1t was also suggested that
be made to induce the G.
& n. W. company TO build it's main
line into the city, and Mr.. Klein
thought something ought to be done
toward getting it to run it's regular
pas enger trains into the city, as is
done at Lacrosse, where there is a
spur track in from the main
line. This suggestion will probably
be acted upon by the committee
when it visits Chicago.
