ness Principles Applied.
City Treasurer Throdahl has called
asshalt on paying city orders from
funds that are overdrawn. The road
and park funds are overdrawn and he
has refused to honor orders on those
funds for the pay rolls. The street.
pay roll amounts to SOL and the park
pay roll to $40. The road fund is
overdrawn 50, 800.
Mr.. ThrodahI states that he has seen
his bondsmen and they do not desire
him to allow the overdrafts on the two
funds to become any greater. He has
also seen Aid. Heinze of the ways and
means committee and notified him of
the situation. The committee will
be called together or the matter will
be allowed to rest until Wednesday
night, when it will be taken up at the
adjourned meeting of the council.
Mr.. Throdahl desires that the coun-
Gil authorize him to borrow from other
funds to replace the amount overdrawn
in the road and park funds, when he
will resume the payment of orders
against those funds as rapidly as there

TAKES HOPEFUL VIEW.
Capt. UIine Believes That the Filipinos
Will Become Americanized.

Capt. Willis Uline of the Fifteenth
q. S. infantry was the guest of his
brother, Supt. E. B. Uline, Sunday.
He was on his way from Ft. Leaven-
worth, Kansas, to New York, where
his company has been located. He has
seen service in Cuba and the Philip
pines, and was severely wounded in
the head by a mauser bullet in the
Philippines during an engagement.
He was at Ell Caney during the attack
on Santiago.
Capt. Uline, although an officer in
the regular army, has high opinion
of Gen. Funston, whom he knows per-
sonally, and states that the newspapers
and public have not given him any too
much credit or undeserved praise.
Gen. Funston is modest and retiring,
but is not afraid of anything and has
plenty of ability.
OF the condition of affairs in the
Philippines, Capt. Uline takes hope
full view He states that matters are
rapidly improving there, despite the
treschery of the natives. He believes
that it will take two generations to
bring the natives up to the American
way of thinking, as they are so thor
oughly imbued with the Spanish sys-
tenn, having known of nothing else.
The company which Capt. Uline has
been given the command of has never
been in the Philippines, and he ex-
poets that it will be ordered there after
time, in which event he will have
| to ret urn there

NOT so VERY LOW
Cost of Municipal Lighting in
Mankat0.
Prof. Shepardson Estimated it at $65
Six Year Ago, When Everything
was Cheaper Than Now

In view of the present agitation over
a municipal lighting plant, the Free
Press has taken the trouble to look
over it's files of the fall of 1895, when
an endeagor was made to put in a
lighting plant
Prof. Shepardson, an electrical ex-
pert of the university of Minnesota,
was engaged to prepare plans and
specifications. The plan finally adopted
provided for plant to furnish 60 arc
lights and having capacity of so, 30
to run half of the night; ITO thirty
candle power incandescents, 20 fifty
candle power incandescents, and 20
sixteen candle power incandescents.
Aid. Andrews attempted without sue
cess to have the plant increased to 100
arc lights.
Prof. Shepardsnn was sent for and
met with the council at later meet
ing. He said that he had kept the
plant down as nearly to the city's d
nancial resources as possible, with the
expectation that it would be added to
from time to time. He said that
cool engine room is required, as dy-
namo wears out more quickly in a hot
room. The pumping station is very
warm, and ventilating fan would be
necessary. There was also dampness to
be feared there. If the city had the
money, he would greatly prefer to
have the plant located in separate
building from the pump station.
Prof. Shepardson said that lamp
having nominal capacity of 1000
candle power has in reality only 600 to
1900 candle power, according to the
machinery used and whether the lamp
is frequently cleaned. A 1900 candle
power arc gives actually $50 to $50
candle power. The saving in plant
to reduce the lamps from 2, ZOO to 1900
nominal candle power would be only
81, 500. Prof Shepardson favored the
use of incandescents on streets where
there is foliage. He preferred mean
descents at frequent intervals to arcs
at longer distances, because the object
of lighting is to see ones way around,
and great blazes of light only blind
one and are not so good as lights of
less power distributed closer together.
Prof. Shepardson thought that a
plant such as he had prepared plans
for would cost $13, 900 to SIC, 900 On
the basis of 100 arc plant, the cost
per light per anuum would be 800, all
night lighting, moonlight schedule,
with compound condensing engine.
Without the condenser, the cost would
be sos. In this estimate, additional
labor was charged up to the line, on
account of an engineer already being
in the pump station. He had provided
for two trimmers, fireman, coal, car
bons, waste, interest on the invest
ment, repairs, and ten per cent yearly
depreciation on the plant. He
thought that the figures that he hat
given were minimum figures.

Prof. Shepardson said that in his esti
mate of the cost of operating the sys-
tenn, he had charged thirty to forty
per cent to fuel, the same to labor,
and the balance to fixed charges, inter-
est, depreciation, supplies, etc. If the
plant was separate from the pumping
station, another engineer would be
required, which with other additional
expenses would make the cost per light
800 to 800 per year.
On Oct nth, 1895, the council re-
ceived bids for an electric lighting
plant in accordance with the plans and
specifications adopted. The bids
ranged from SIG, 600 to SIS, 600, accord
ing to the kind of engine, etc, used.
This was much more than the council
had been led to believe by one of those
who intended to put in bids
Since 1895, the price of poles has
nearly doubled, wiring has advanced,
and nearly everything entering into
the construction of plant has gone
up. Fuel has advanced, and labor is
more expensive. This would necessi-
tate larger investment for plant of
the same size. But the city has
grown, and larger plant would be re-
uuired. The items for interest charges
and depreciation of plant would have
to be increased in proportion to the
other figures. This would no doubt
bring the cost of small plant, for
street lighting only, to $50, 900 or
more, and the cost per light would
hardly be less than the $74 now paid
the Mankato Gas and Electric Light
Co., not to mention the lower bid
which it promises. The latter used
up all of its machinery during the past
seven years, so that ten per cent allow
ance for depreciation is not too great.
| A business man stated today that if
| the council would contract for the
lighting of the streets at lower figure
than is being paid now, leaving the
matter in such shape that the con-
tract can at any time be given to a
company that will put in street rail
way line. and then take the $50, 900
which it is proposed to put into a
lighting plant and use it in paying
the city's share for paving the streets
| it would get a much greater return.

WHAT HELPS RAILROADS.

Good crops or rather large crops help the railroads to make dividends, and this year the crops promise to aid them as much in making dividends as in the past five years. The encouragement for this is found in some measure in the reports of the department of agri- culture, which computes that in 1900 the corn crop was 2,105. 102, ,516 bushels, of which AIS, AZ POP bushels was shipped outside the counties where raised-and this is practically on the farms where raised-was 1,626, ,6S5.314 bushels. The department makes the crop last year of 100, ,CO0,OOO bushels less than this after doing the best it can to make it's views coincide with the census
 When we turn to export figures We have definite information. The corn exported was only one-seventh as much as in the previous year The decrease as compared with the year before-and that was far from being a record break ing year-was 15O,OOO,OOO bushels. This would make about IS, 750 boatloads. or, in round figures, 26O,O0O cars. Some of this was lost to water routes, but the greater part of it would have afforded long-haul freight to the railroads Wheeling Intelligencer.

Health is a magnet which irresisiibly draws the man 10 the woman in life's mating time. Health does more than tint the skin with beauty; 1t puts music into the voice and buoyancy into the step. as well as happiness into the heart. A great many women covet beauty and are constantly seeking aids to beautify them. Let a woman first seek perfect health and all other charms shall be added to her.
 There can be no general health for women while there is disease of the delicate womanly organism. The first step to perfect health is to cure womanly diseases by the use of Dr. Pierce's Fa- vorite Prescription.

 FINAL COUNTY MINES

Pinal county seems to be keeping pace with the rest of the territory in the matter of mineral development. The following items are rom the latest issue of the Florence Blade:
 Mr. and Mrs. William Bley, accom- panied by F. A. Adams, came home Monday. Messrs. Bley and Adams are making arrangements to do some de- velopment work on some very promis ing gold property in Riverside district
 James K. Mccarthy was down from Riverside on Wednesday last and has just completed the annual assessment work on his gold claims in the Ripsey district, and at the bottom the fifty foot shaft he uncovered an eighteen inch streak of high grade gold ore.
 Charles Ritsch was in town from the Wonder group and reports that they are making rapid progress on their contracts. Tunnel No. l is 135 feet deep and in ore all the way. Tunnel No. 2 is 275 feet deep and shows 15O feet of ore and then eighteen feet of ore be- yond that.
 Mir C. A Gass of Red Rock was in Florence Monday buying mining sup plies. He has taken a bond on num- Der of claims on Picacho peak near Red Rock from the Home Mining and Tunnel Site company of Los Angeles and has six men doing deN elopmeE. work there.
 Frank Haubin, who has been spend ing some time with his F1orentine friends, went up this week to the New bury camp to work in the Mount Lan- der shaft. A whim has been installed at this shaft and as soon as the shaft can be unwatered d rcrosscut will be started from the bottom of it and driven through the vein to the hang ing wall, a distance of about forty feet This work will prospect the vein 200 feet below Its surface outcrop.
 Harry Lane was down from the Rip sey camp Wednesday and we learn from him that he and his partner Thomas Hall. have just completed 13O-fot tunnel on the Midday group. The tunnel cuts the vein 95 feet below the outcrop and shows a vein width at that point of eleven feet which sam pies $9.5O per ton in gold and on the hanging wall is a thirteen-inch streak of shipping ore. They are nov run ming a tunnel on the opposite side of the hill to cut the same vein at a depth or 200 feet. This tunnel will be 250 feet in length but as Messrs. Hall and Lane are great workers it will not take them long to drive it in.

of the Troy Manhattan group informs us that at no time in the history of the Troy group did the mines make a bet ter showing than they do now. The company has temporarily reduced their working force to 52 men with a view to confine the work for the present to the sinking of three main working shafts, opening levels, and running crosscuts and blocking out ore. As soon as this work shall have been completed they will proceed to operate the mine on larger scale than ever. They are now troubled by a tremendous inflow of water al the 300 station in the Alice shaft. At this point the vein is rapidly growing wider and the vein matter has become so soft that they have to drive piling ahead of them to hold the ground While extracting the ore and vein mat ter This is very encouraging sign.
