G, W, IMPROVEMENTS.
Omaha Line Will be Shortened a
Number of MiIes--Other
improvements.

Bids were asked by the Chicago
Great Western on construction ana
betterment work to be commenced at
once, which will represent a total
outlay of 81, 300, 900. The principal
feature is the construction of thirty
mile cutoff between .Oelwein, Iowa,
and Waverly which will reduce the
Chicago Omahaline ten miles.
The projects covered by the bids
were recently authorized by the man
agement. It is expected that active
construction will begin not later than
May 10. The entire work will be
completed in one year and includes
important improvements all the way
from Oelwein to Fort Dodge, covering
approximately one-third of the new
Omaha line.
The Waverly cutoff will transform
the present Oelwein-Fort Dodge Sec
tion of the system into practically an
air line. It will be built to maxi
SIdu0 VI AfO-lOAlh5 OooO-hOoAN
and seven enths west bound. Its
length as shown by the survey will be
80. 6 miles, which includes 24-mile
tangent. The total excavation will be
/, $50, 600 cubic yards and the cost Of
the line will be $537, 600.
Accompanying the new construction
will be large amount of track better
ment between Waverly and the Des
Moines river. The bad curves on the
line are to be Strengthened and the
grades reduced to the standard five
tenths east bound and seventeenth
west bound. New ballast is to be laid
and large amount of minor improve
ment work will be done
The changes in the line will necessi-
tate a large amount of relocation Of
track to avoid curves, representing
the equivalent of entire new construc
tion. The cost of the work will be
about 1868. 900.

BISHOP EDSALL SPEAKS.
Addresses the Y. M. c. A. Sunday
Afternoon Mems Meeting.

Bishop Samuel G. Edsall, Bishop of
Minnesota, spoke at the Y. M. Q. A.
mems meeting Sunday afternoon on
the Responsibilities of the Christian
American Citizen" Bishop Edsall is
q lovable man of large calibre In
thought and speech and his address
deeply impressed all OF his hearers.
He was wholly optimistic in his view
of our future as nation relative to
Christianity. He spoke of how even
in the legislation of our country, the
question now is, is it right aad Just-to
the people as a whole, and how we at
different parties were more In mar
mony than ever, for the honor and
welfare of our land. He spoke or now
we were wont to credit only bad mo
tives as issues of the other party ane
then revealed that the martyred presl'
dent of our land was a noble Christian
man, as is also the present first mar
of the country, and had succeeded a
| Cu0 CuOlCO VI bu0 pCOPAO w
honor in their gift. He spoke YER
feelingly of the death of President Nc
Kinley, of his trust in God; his ten
der thoughtfulness of his loved wife
and of his mercy toward his enemy
the assassin; and showed how 1t ma
all deepened the spiritual life of tn
nation and had awakened in the mlno
of millions the world over thought
pertaining to the souls welfare.
He spoke of the need of more strlr
gent laws to protect the home llte' SAL
ing that the divorce courts were &c
free in the use of their power. He sal
that were the laws more stringent
this regard the home life OF our coul
try would be much better than it is.
1t was an..sddress that gave the me
present much to think of and no dou
it was of very great help to man
1t is hoped that the men OF this CT
may have the privilege to hear Bish'
Edsall often.

LAST OF THE COURSE.
Leland Powers Gives Monsieur Be au'
caire to a Delighted Audience.

The last number in the Y. M. G. A.
lecture course was given at the opera
house Saturday evening to a good
house. Mr.. Leland Powers presented
"Monsieur Beaucaire," Booth Tark-
ington's little masterpiece, to the de-
light of all present. Mr.. Powers IS
undoubtedly one of the greatest imper-
senators upon the platfor m, and the
manner in which he delineates each
character, brings them out in strong
relief, making you feel that each and
all were on the platform at the same
time. His representation of the diff
cult part of Monsieur Beaucaire was
perfect. All the difficult roles of that
character. were truly and wildly por-
trayed, while the real character Of the
Duke of Winterset was equally as well
set forth.
In closing Mr.. Powers gave a selec-
tion from Shakespeare Henry ~,
representing Falstaf selecting men for
his service. Here his change Of facial
expression was truly wonderful, as he
represented a half dozen or more
characters in rapid succession COM
plete in looks and tone.
The Y. M. G. A., and especially
Secretary Gran, who has done much
of the work in presenting this course
to the public, is entitled to great
credit. The course has been one OF
unusual merit, and has fully warrant
ed the patronage which has been
given it.

NO OBJECTIONS
IeSueur Commissioners Fa-
vorabIe to Franchise.
SUGGESTION That Agitation for Amend
ing Local Franchise Be
Delayed.

The county commissioners OF LIE
Sueur county held a special meeting
atsLe Sueur Center Thursday to act on
Alright of way franchise which was
presented to them by President Hixon
and Secretary Clark, of the Mankato
and ST Peter Railway and Lighting
company. All of the commissioners
were present but one, and no oJectlons
to the franchise were raised. Inc
matter was laid over to a special
meeting to be held soon.
The Mankato gentlemen did not
have a very enjoyable drive through
the rain.
It is suggested that it would be well
to refrain from agitsting the matter
of amending the franchise until after
the bonds have been disposed of, when
any reasonable amendments VIII
doubtless be accepted by tie directors
who for one year at least will be Man
kato men. No amendments can be
made without the consent of the COM
nany as otherwise the franchise would
be invalidated, and the company
would be as willing to accept amend
ments next summer asst Guild now
being home people, SO it is argued.
A fear has been expressed that the
present agitation may create feeling
in the minds of the capitalists who
NAV be thinking of investing in the
bonds that the people of Mankato care
little for their interests. This might
defeat the bond issue and the whole
proposition.
The franchise that was presented to
the council on the night that it was
passed provided for an exclusive fran
chise for only ten years. 1t was at
Aid. Heinzs' suggestion that it was
made twenty years in return for re-
leasing commercial lighting and pow
er from the exclusive feature. The
company ought not TO be blamed fol
the twenty year feature, when 1t die
not propose it.
