'PONTOON BRIDGE
One to Be Built Across the
Minnesota.
Subscription List Is Being Passed,
and Half the Necessary Amount
is Pledged.

A move is on foot looking TO the
construction of a pontoon bridge
across the Minnesota river at the
foot of "A'' street. M. Hanna has cir
culated subscription list among
South Front street merchants and
others, and has already secured $500,
mostly in $50 subscriptions. A large
number Of persons have not yet been
seen, but it is expected that the
money necessary to build the bridge
will be secured.
It is estimated that a bridge can be
constructed for 81, 900. One similar to
the one between st. Peter and Kasota
will be built
With bridge at the point proposed,
a good deal of distance will be saved to
the farmers of Belgrade as we'll as the
residents of North Mankato. 1t will
also present safer way for the people
to come across, as it will avoid the
dangerous railroad crossing on Main
street.
Those who have not yet subscribed
are urged to put their names down for
something when the list comes to
them.

ARBOR AND BIRD DAY.
Gov. VanSant Names April 18th For
Tree Planting.

Governor Van SAINT has issued the
following Arbor day proclamation
Pursuant to an enactment of the
legislature, and in accord with uni
versal custom, l, as governor of the
state Of Minnesota, do hereby fix and
appoint Friday, April Is. 1902. as
Arbor and Bird day, and earnestly
urge the observance thereof through
out the state. Approaching springtide
has brought back to US the song birds
which make Minnesota their summer
home, and the bursting buds suggest
the planting of trees, shrubbery and
vines that our homes and public places
may be made more beautiful and at
tractive.
l especially urge that upon the day
indicated appropriate exercises be
held in every school within the state,
to the end that our youth may be
taught to appreciate the beauties of
nature and the Importance of protec-
ting and preserving the birds of our
state.
I farther recommend, in common
with the executives of many other
states of the union, that upon said day
trees be planted in memory of villain
Mckinley, our late lamented president.
His well-known love for trees and
the beauties of nature make it especi-
ally appropriate that his memory be
thus honOred.

Defendants deny that the said speci-
fications arbitrarily and unlawfully fix
and determine in advance the price of

for said improvement. Defendants
allege that all bids received are fair
and reasonable and are at much less
price than the average price for such
work in other cities.
Defendants deny that the said pro-
posed Broad street improvement will
increase the indebtedness of said city
in the sum of 500, 600 or any other
sum or amount whatever and allege
that said proposed Broad street i'm
provement will not incease the in
debtedness of said city in any amount
whatever; that all the property along
said improvement is very valuable, is
the finest residence property in the city
of Mankato, and all the assessments for
said improvement will be promptly
paid,
Defendants further allege that the

coed the tax rate of last year, which
was 30 mills on the dollar, in fact the

SMALL P0X.
1t is Less ViruIent---State Board
Shows Death Rate to Be Low.

The state board of health has COM
piled statement showing the number
of smallpox cases reported since the
beginning of the year and the varia-
tions of the death rate Since Jan.
there have died of smallpox in Mime
sofa seventeen persons, not more than
five of whom died in any one week.
During that time there were reported
to the state board 4,745 cases, so
that less than one-t third Of per cent
of the total number of persons infected
with the disease died. The majority
of these deaths, the health department
states, occurred in the northern coun-
ties, generally among the Indians.
The report for March shows nine
deaths only two of which occurred in
the same county. There were 1,672
cases reported, showing death rate
of little over one-half of per cent.
The report of last week showed an
amazing decrease, which the depart
ment does not think is real, but is at
tributable to newly elected officers not
reporting the cases.
The low death rate is attributable
! to the light character of the disease
and the improved methods of handling
smallpox patients.
