PASS ORDINANCE.
Kasota Councilmen Favor the
Electric Road.
The Financing Of the Enterprise Now
Depends Upon the Report of
the Engineer.

The Kasora council by unanimous
vote Friday passed the ordinance
giving the Mankato and st. Peter Rail-
way and Lighting Co. right of way
through that village. A very pleas
ant feeling existed, as the residents of
Kasota are anxious to have the line.
A. E. Clark and S. Wilhartz were
present on the part of the company.
Report comes from st. Peter that the
people who have been opposing the
granting of right of way into that
city, to the company, are not exactly
enjoying the height of popularity
with the rest of the people, who are
blaming them for being the means OF
losing both the electric road and an
extension of the Milwaukee road into
the city.
The ordinance granting the COM
pany a franchise in this city will be
given its legal publication at once.
This will require a week under the
charter. When the week is up, the
company can file its acceptance again.
After that has been done, Recorder
Williams can sign the street lighting
contract, putting that into effect.
Lastly, the agreement or contract be-
tween the city and company. approved
by the council last night, can be
signed up and put into effect.
This is the order in which the steps
vet to be taken come, in the opinion
of City Attorney Daley.
Recorder Williams Saturday re-
ferred to City Attorney Daley the
agreement approved Friday. for his
opinion as to its legality. Mr.. Daley
holds that it acts as an estoppel, and
that to this extent it has the same
effect as though it was part of the
franchise. He would have preferred
to have had it incorporated in the
franchise, however.
Mr.. Collins will be accompanied to
Mankato by the engineer of the CAPT
talists who propose to take the bonds.
This engineer will go over the entire
matter from every point of view, and
his report on the proposition will be
final with the capitalists.
Mr.. Collins did not come Friday, as
he intimated that he might in mes
sage to Mr.. Hixon Thursday, but he is
expected to arrive with the engineer
Monday. His coming has been post
poned up to now at this end, because
of the legal agitation over the terms
of the franchise.

IMPROVE THEIR GROUNDS.
h-Western and Omaha Roads
Favor Mankato.

When Agent johnson attended the
meeting of Chicago & North Western
agents at Huron, S. D., last week, he
mentioned to the officials the desira-
bility of improving the grounds in
front of the freight depot in this city
by sodding, laying out paths and
drives, planting flowers, trees and
shrubs The officials looked favorably
on the matter, and it is likely that
Col. Johnson's suggestion will be car
ried out. This would greatly improve
the appearance of the property.
Two days before the council voted
to instruct the recorder to write Supt.
Shaker with view to having the
union depot grounds sprinkled, the
work of sprinkling had been begun.
The grounds were sprinklea last year
and will be sprinkled again this year:
The Omaha officials have arranged
with Contractor Page to do the
sprinkling on the north, east and
south sides of the depot.

THE COMMANDMENTS.

While the ten commandments were
first given in form, so far as the rec
ords snow, to the Jewish people
through Moses at Mount Sinai and as
the basis of the covenant with Israel
in a national capacity, their existence
and binding obligation on the human
conscience were recognized from the
very creation of the human race.
When Adam and Eve hid from the
manifestation of the presence of Je-
hovah in the garden, their guilty con-
science testified to the binding obliga-
ton of the first commandment. Gains
cry that his punishment was greater
than he could bear was the voice of
conscience testifying to the binding
obligation of the sixth commandment.
There was Sabbath keeping before the
law of the Sabbath was formally writ
ten. (See Exodus 16 :22-30.) Noah,
in the ark, recognized the seventh day
period. Breaches of all the other
commandments were clearly recog-
nlzed as a sin thousands of years be-
fore Moses. Hence, these command
ments are not Jewish but human, and
the decalogue is simply a statement of
the fundamental principles of right
doing the reasons Of which lie in thu
very structure of the human soul. The
obligations of the decalogue were,
therefore, coextersive with humanity
and their embodiment in the most sol
emn and impressive way in the cove
nant with Israel was merely a r~estate-
ment of great vital fundamentals of
human action rs old as the race itself.

ANOTHER SUCCESSFUL BOY.

Not long ago 1 was on the point of
leaving town for a day or two. As /
went down Griswold street I was ac-
costed by a bright little fellow: Garry
your satchel to the depotw
"No," I replied, as I entered the
Ypsilanti waiting room, "Pm going to
stop right here"
Garry your satchel out to the car?"
kept up the small boy as he followed
me in.
I settled myself to wait for the car,
and thought my youthful man of bus
mess had given me up. He stood out
side on the pavement talking with his
companions and puncturing his re-
marks by sundry mods in.my direction.
Presently the Ypsilanti and Ann Arb
or car was announced. Before / had
time to lay hands on my baggage, my
small boy had marched straight in,
seized my suitcase and marched out
again. He boarded the car before it
reached the depot, not even waiting
for it to stop. In fact, he had not
waited for anything, not even for my
consent. Probably he was of the opin-
ion that "silence gives consent"
After l had seated myself he spread
out a paper on my lap. "Have a Tri-
bune, something to read all the way
over" He evidently considered that
he had scored a point by having a big
paper to sell. Of course I bought it.
He was so quick and so business-like
that I could not but admire him. That
boy will never wait for something Ito
turn up."-L. M. Dithridge in Ameri-
can Boy.

wHA THE FLOWERS SAY.

The red rose says be sweet,
The lily bids be pure;
The hardy, brave chrysanthemum,
Be patient and endure.
The violet whispers, give,
Nor grudge nor count the cost,
The woodbine keeps on blossoming,
In spite of rain and frost.
The daisy says look up,
And never show a frown;
The white rose says be queenly,
Though you eve yea a crown.
The pansy says think well,
Nor say a hasty word;
The snowdrop says be modest,
Be seen, but don't be heard.
The red pink says, be truthful,
The white pink says be clean;
And dear sweet little mignonette
Says never do what's mean.

MONEY MADNESS.

From an address by Rev. Calvin S.
Blackwell, of Wilmington, delivered
at Southport, July 4th, we make the
following extract:
Money madness is a peril we share
in common with our age The greed
of gold to the neglect of God is a rock
on which men as we'll as nations
strike. Two hundred trusts that con-
troll absolutely the wardrobe and pan
try of seventy-fve million people con-
stitute an enginery of tyranny and
oppression compared with which the
world-conquering armies of Caesar
and Alexander we're but children's
toys.
The acute point of irritation to the
worthy poor, honest toilers and wage
earners is the impudence, arrogance
and ostentatious display of the vulgar
rich. The common people are con-
WINGED that multi-millionaires can on
ly be made by an unfair advantage be-
ing taken of the public through par
tia legislation secured by corruption
ana bribery; that the many poor have
been robbed under legal forms to make
the few rich. True or false, this is the
irritating conviction of the masses.
This money-mad, vulgar g~old-glory
age arranged for a Belshazzaran feast
to defy the god of gold. The occasion
was the coronation of Edward VII. It
was to be the most gorgeous pageant
of pomp and power that the combina-
ton of money had produced. Every
nation and people of the globe had
contributed with lavish hand their
richest garments, rarest gems and
dazzling equipages. They had sent
their wits, philosophers and states
men to this saturnalia of Mammon.
Carnality, g~rossness and lust were to
feast to safety. A man, the represen-
tative of materialism, commercialism
and money was to be crowned king of
the people, defender of the faith"
and "head of the. church" of the hv-
ing God.
The glorious hour had almost struck
when in the temple of eternity the
God of heaven said, "Stop, stand still
man and money are Being exalted
above the God of heaven and earth.
Death, go forth and cast thy shadow
on that bauble men call the royal
crown of England until its gems turn
as pale as pewter. Be careful, only let
thy shadow fall. Let not thy cold
spear point touch the heart of Ed
ward the man." And it was so, and
aid the princeful and plutocratic mann
mon worshippers either fed away or
fell on their knees to pray to the God
of mercy for the life of Edward the
man and the sinner.
Thus the Almighty put forth his
hand and cooled the hot brow of the
yellow gold fevered world at London,
and brought it back to spiritual sani-
ty. He may yet have to tear down the
worlds financial Babylon ere He cures
us completely of our money madness.
When the cry of the toiling poor who
are being crucifed on crosses of
gold, Gas in the Pennsylvania coal
mines today, shall reach heavens ear

Keep careful watch on the chrysan-
themums during this month. They
wiIl-or should-be growing rapidly,
and a little neglect means a great
deal. Pinch back the most robust
branches to correspond with the 9th
ers, and secure a symmetrical shape if
possible for each plant. Sometimes
it will be necessary to sacrifice some
of the larger branches in order to do
this, but do it if it needs doing, for,
of all plants, an awkwardly shaped
chrysanthemum is most so. IF not
growing rapidly, by all means use a
good fertilizer, like fine bone meal or
liquid COW manure. This and next
month must see the full development
of the plants, as plants, and to neglect
them now means comparative failure.

THE TOMTIT-THR CATBIRD.

Tomtits is the name we gave the lit
tie sap-loving and insect-catching
birds that frequented the fruit trees
when I was a boy; but the authorities
call them titmice, / believe. They are
great friends to the farmer, whether
he appreciates the fact or not; for
they pick away the bark, and drag
from their hiding places r of
moths eggs and grubs in a day. I
have just noticed one, and digress to
mention these birds.
Two are quite common, especially
in the winter and spring-the crested
and the black-capped titmouse. They
have ways like the downy woodpecker,
and when you approach they try to
keep a limb between you and their
small bodies. Their nests are built in
a hollow branch, and they have a lit
tie chirp that is refreshing to hear.
They are usually seen in small focks.
And now we come to Lay favorite of
all the birds-the catbird. Not be-
cause of his fine clothes, for he dresses
soberly. He is my favorite because
he is the first whose song I particular
ly noticed and enjoyed when a lad.
Visiting my old home not long sago,
I was ~conversing with a friend. "The
catbird is rapidly becoming extinct
here now," he said. "The small boys
make war on him more than ever, be-
cause they have some toy gun with
which t shoot; and the English spar
rows annoy him" The news was not
pleasant.
The catbird is the s~late-colored
warbler seen fitting among the shrub
berry and orchards about home. He
gets his name from his cry of alarm,
which is much like the cry of a young
kitten. His notes are varied and
sweet little gushing notes that I wish
l could describe. They often wake
me from slumber by daybreak, and ]
nave I0ulTluSO IOuS W NEAR. mo
sound yet in the village; no stir about
the house; everything so quiet, save
his song, that I could almost hear the
apple blossoms fallingl
The nest of the catbird is placed in
some low, close bush, and is better con
structed than hat of most any other
bird. The four or five eggs are blue
green.
Truthfully, he is worth his weight
in gold to the gardener, for he de-
stroys thousands of insects during the
summer.
Description: The catbird is nine
inches long, and appears black at a
distance, but he is really of a deep
slate color; under the tail coverts he
is dark red; and the rounded tail and
the superior part of the head as well
as the bill and legs are black.-WiI
