STORK HAS FLOWN.
Mrs. RooseveIt's Illness MOI as Slight
as Supposed.

Pioneer Press Special Service:
Washington, June 1S.-Mrs. Roose-
velt recent illness was much serious
than was reported at the time. AL
though of unusually strong physique,
she succumbed suddenly on the eve of
the reception to the French delegation
at the Rochambeau exercises.
The long receptions at which she
was forced to stand and receive the
thousands who presented themselves
broke down Mrs. Roosevelt's strength.
AS a result the stork has flown away
from the White House and all of Mrs.
Roosevelt's 8 plans for the summer have
been changed.
Just before she left Washington for
the leisurely trip to Oyster Bay, on
the Dolphin, Mrs. Roosevelt announc,
ed her intention to return to Washing
ton July and resume the hospitalitief
which have been so freely dispensed
from the White House during the
present administration. She probably
will remain in Washington until after
the adjournment of congress.

The crop outlook at this time is re-
ported very fine, and it is doubtful if
there has been a season when crops
looked so fine throughout the north
west as they do today. However, the
next three or four weeks will submit
them to the test, and during these
weeks the grain crops of the north
west will be closely watched by the
grain men and others. The cool
weather has caused the grain to stool
well and it is the general opinion of
all, that because of this it will in all
likelihood better standssthe hot weather

THE BROAD STREET IMPROVE
MENT

AS the work of paving Broad street
progresses, and the boulevards and
driveway take shape, and begin to
show what a beautiful street it will
be, with the grassy boulevards set
with row of elm trees on either side,
and as the driveway shows up wider
than was expected before the street
began to take on its present shape, the
sentiment of the property owners along
the street has been gradually chang
ing in favor of the improvement, es-
pecially SO, as they note the grass and
weeds growing about three feet from
the curb on the thirtysix foot drive
way along the Hubbard Patterson
block.
Many who were at first opposed to
the improvement, now express the wish
that Mr.. Diamond would withdraw
his suit and permit the city to pay for
paving the intersections and in front
of it's property. and thus save them
from paying the cost of the whole i'm
provement, intersections and all, in
case Mr.. Diamond should lose his case
in the courts, which will be the inevi-
table result, in case he loses. We un-
derstand that large number OF the
property owners have considered the
matter carefully and that consiuera-
BILE majority of them are willing and
desire TO pay a reasonable sum for the
improvement, and are willing at the
same time that Mr.. Diamond, and
others of like views who desire to do
so, should fight the levying of assess
ments on their own property, and
leave out of the controversy those
property owners who desire to pay
their proportionate share of the i'm
provement, and not force upon them
the extra burden of paying for the
intersections and the city's property
also as will be the case if Mr.. Dia-
mond loses his suit.
All questions and objections as to
the validity of the contract between
the city and the paving company and
as to the right of the city to make the
improvement, which are arisen in this
suit, can be raised when the city at
tempts to levy the assessments, and
should any one at that time, when the
improvement is completed. desire to
contest the assessment, the property
owners VINO desire to pay have then
the benefit of the deduction of the cost
of paving the intersections and of the
city's frontage, which otherwise they
have not.
1t would seem as though common
sense and sound discretion would
point to this method as the best way
out of the difficulty, and leave those
who now favor the improvement to
pay for benefit to their property
without being compelled to pay for
the intersections and citys frontage
and leave them out of the litigation.
The Free Press hopes that some such
way out of the present difficulty will
be found. 1t would prove most agree
able all around.

The action of the directors of the
Mankato & st. Peter Railway and
Lighting company yesterday will, we
think, meet the approval of our citi-
zens generally. The conditions which
have been placed upon the money
raised for the stock in the company
are such as to safely secure it, and y e
at the same time it is so placed that
Mr.. Collins can obtain it easily when
ever the conditions of the contract are
wholly and completely fulfilled.
Mankato people have acted in good
faith so far as they have anything
to do in the matter, and it now re-
mains for Mr.. Collins to go ahead and
fulfill his part. This he says he can
do in spite of the obstacles that have
been placed in his way, and moreover,
is ready to do. While the proposition
which Mr.. Collins made Mankato is
better than any previously made, or
any likely TO be made again, it should
also be kept in mind that the city has
in turn dealt very literally with Mr..
Collins, and he has received pretty
much all that he has asked for along
reasonable lines. All that our citizens
wish, as the matter stands now is tc
be reasonably safeguarded, and the
action which the directors took yester'
day provides the proper protection
while at the same time. it deals fairly
with Mr.. Collins and valves the mat
ter of bond which he proposed in hi:
original proposition.
