PLANS DECIDED ON.
Library Board Accepts E H.
AndersOn's Ideas.
A Handsome Building, With a FrOntsge
of 100 Feet, Constructed of
MankatO Stone.

All of the members of the library
board were present at last nights
meeting except Mr.. Noe. who is still
out of the city. Action was taken
which settles the question of plans for
the new library building.
1t was decided to reject all of the
plans that have been received and by
unanimous consent the first prize of
500 was awarded to Jardine Kent &
Jardine of New York. 1t was neces-
sary to take three ballots to determine
to whom to award the second prize of
S75. The first ballot stood four for H.
G. Gerlich, three for the Cincinnati
firm, and one for Pass e. Schippel. The
second ballot stood three for Gerlich.
three for the Cincinnati firm and two
for Pass & Schippel, The third ballot
stood five for Gerlich, two for the
Cincinnati firm, and one for Pass &
Schippel.
1t was voted to adopt the sketch for
warded by E. Il. Anderson, the libra
rian of the Carnegie library at Pitts
burg, Pa, to whom the five selected
plans had been referred as suggested
by Mr.. Carnegie's private secretary.
The board adopts the sketch as
basis for the main floor. This provides
semi circular stack room with radi-
al aisles, the same as provided in the
New York plan. There will be a CEN
tral hall, with general reading and
reference room on the left, 81 by 81,
and children's S room of the same size
on the right. The librarians, office
and work rooms will be on either side
at the entrance to the stack room. The
building will have a frontage of 100
feet, as against 80 feet in the New
York plan. It will have but one story
and high basement. and if there is
sufficient money..rra dome will be put
on.
:. President Wood was authorized to
appoint committee Of two besides
himself to prepare the basement plans
with the same outline as the first floor
plans, and to submit them at the regu-
lar meeting of the board Monday
night: He has appointed Messrs: will
lard and REIN as the other members.
: The board will select an architect to
revise the New York plan along the
line suggested by Mr.. Anderson, and
probably Jardine, Kent & Jardine will
be asked to do this. A Mankato man
will be selected as superintendent.
Mankato stone is to be used in the
construction of the building. Stone
men say that the cream ledge is the
only one that will absolutely hold it's
color, and this may be selected. Geo.
M. Palmer's residence is constructed
| of this ledge and has stood thirty five
years without discoloring except where
leakage has streaked it.
The Cincinnati plan was. drawn by
Ed. Shildknecht, son of Chas. SchiId-
knecht of this city, and is very fine
plan and next to the New York plan,
leaving out the plans of the home
architects.

AN IMPOSING PARADE THIS AFTERNOON
Hon. w. a. funk Addresses a Large Assem-
bEage of the P0puiace at
the Park

Memorial day was observed in Man
kato in little different manner than
formerly. There was no parade of the
school children this year, and the line
of march was extended to Sibley park.
The day was beautiful one, sunny
and cooled by northerly breeze.
Some of the stores were closed all day,
and many Offices were closed part of
the day. The graves of the fallen de-
tenders of the country were decorated
with flowers and bedewed with tears
this forenoon. r-.a,
The formal observance of the sday
opened this afternoon with parade
to.Sibley park, under the charge of
Marshals c. E. johnson and Geo. w.
Mead. 1t was an interesting column
of men who rode through the
st reefs and out to the park. Men of
two wars were there, gray haired and
black haired, some with slow, faltered
steps. others with all the spring and
buoyancy of youth. Old Glory autter-
ed from many buildings and was con-
spicuous in the column.
A platoon of mounted police led the
way and the fire department followed
in its gay trappings. The G.
A. R. band furnished the time.
Wilkin post, G. A. R., was in line
with large delegation, but the in
roads of time were apparent. Some
faces that were formerly seen in the
ranks are no longer there, and the hair
of the old veterans is shade whittier
than year ago.
The Womans Relief Corps and the
G. A. R. circle, always loyal to the
old veterans and always on hand to as
sist when anything is going on, were
conspicuous in the line. The Spanish
American war soldiers were mounted
and acted as aides for Wilkin post.
The mayor, council, city officials, and
citizens and school children in carriages
extended the column.
The parade started at soon after 80
o clock, and after traversing north
on Second street to Vine it came up
the full length of Front street, and
the most of the column continued on
to Sibley park.
At the park, where soldiers once
camped when the Indian had struck
the war trail with brand and tommy
hawk, the following program was car
ried out:
