APPROPRIATIONS FOR NEW

OVER 100000 NEEDED
TO SUPPLY THE DEMAND

to Hoffman Avenue, and Edserton
Street Bridge to Be Reconstructed
Smaller Demands Likely to Be Post.
poned.

New steel bridges and the repairing
of many of the old structures promises
to be heavy item when the 1903 bud
get comes up for consideration in No
vember. The amount asked for will
not be far short of 100000, and this
may be increased if the demands of
certain localities bear fruit.
The heaviest touch that will be made
will be by the residents of Dayton's
Bluff, who demand that the Third
street bridge be extended to Hoffman
avenue. The sum of $65, 600 now re-
poses in the city treasury, appropriated
last year for this work, but it will have
to be increased to 100000 before any
thing can be done. For the Edgerton
street structure $4,000 was set aside
for it's construction, but it also is in
sufficient. To build the bridge complete
nearly $4,000 will be required.
Smaller Bridges to Suffer.
The extension of the Third street
bridge and the rebuilding of the Edger-
ton street bridge have been promised,
and it is not probable that the two
bodies of the council will go back on
them, but it is the smaller demands
that will likely suffer. In various parts
of the city now cut off from conlmu-
nication by reason of railroad tracks,
requests are being prepared for
bridges, but it is hardly possible that the
requests will be entertained. The rail-
road companies, wherever possible, will
be made to supply the demand.
The Oldest steel bridge now owned
by st. Paul is the structure over the
Mississippi river at Fort Smelling. 1t
was originally built by the county in
1880 and cost nearly $172,000. In re-
spect to to cost it is only distanced by
three other bridges in st. Paul, the
high bridge, which required the sum
of $479,S78.72 to build; the Robert
street bridge, which cost $31S,000, and
the Wabasha street bridge, the rebuild
ing of which took $294,O00 So far the
repairs to the Smelling bridge, which
includes refooring, has been about
$4,000.
st. Paul has about sixty bridges, the
majority of which are steel. There
are only five stone bridges in the city.
Their combined length is about five
miles and the total cost, not including
the repairs made since erection, is
nearly $3,000,000.

AS the result of a mistake in the es-
innate for sewer system recently
constructed on Jessie, York and other
streets in the East end, w. ]. Preston.
a sewer contractor, is S495.9O better
off than he expected. +--
When the contract for the construc-
ton was placed it was given to Pres
ton for a lump sum, as basing his bid
on the estimate of lineaI feet made by
the city engineering department.. In
hgur1ng up the number of lineal feet,
however, after the system had been
put in it was found that a mistake of
ninety of more feet had been made,
Preston being ahead of the game that
much.
No Deduction Made.
All contracts made by the city con-
tain a stipulation taking care Of such
mistakes and an attempt was made to
deduct under it. Preston appealed to
the legal department and Corporation
Attorney Markham yesterday found in
his favor The department contends
that as Mr.. Preston bid a lump sum for
the job any mistakes made by the
city in figuring cannot be laid at his
door. Had the amount of sewer laid
been in excess of the estimate the
contractor would have had to suffer
the loss and Mr.. Markham thinks it is
poor rule that won't work both ways.
The provision in the printed con-
tract providing for any errors in COM
putation or discrepancies in plans,
compelling the contractor to suffer any
loss arising from such has always been
in existence, but this is the first time
it was ever questioned. Heretofore
any loss suffered by the mistake had
been satisfactorily explained. In this
case, however, the contractor is ahead.

Demurrer Is Sustained.

In the district court yesterday Judge
Lewis filed an order sustaining the de-
murrer to the complaint of John Clo-
nan against Margaret Conroy. The
will of Hanna CIonan made a trust in
favor of John Clonan, her husband, and
the daughter of Margaret Conroy is
the trustee. C1onan, after several
hearings in the probate court, and con-
siderable litigation, brought an action
to secure possession of certain real
property of moderate value.

Yesterday was the hottest day st.
Paul has known this year, and the av-
efage citizen is hoping sincerely that
1t may prove to be the hottest day that
the year 1902 will record. According to
the government figures it was SO de-
grees, with minimum temperature
Tor the day of 771a. Incidentally it was
the hottest 2sth day of July in ten years.
The ordinary everyday thermometers,
or course, registered much higher than
the official figures, running as high as
SO and "a degrees.
The only day of the year thus far to
approach yesterday in heat was,
strange to say, April 81, when the Their
mometer registered 81 degrees On this
day last year the temperature was 81
while. July is generally looked upon
as the hottest month Of the year, there
is considerable consolation in compar-
Ing this month with the July of last
year, which was a. record-breaker, with
thirteen days above go degrees.
Not So Hot as Last Year.
On July 10, last year, the mean tenn
perature was 90 degrees, while July 10
this year was very comfortable, with a
mean temperature of only So. July 20
registered 101. in 1901, and but rs this
year. July 81 last year was 95, and
this year but 70. Last year July %
registered "a, and this year the same
day registered but 80. July % last year
registered 101, and July. "a, 104, while
the same days this year registered but
"a degrees each. So up to yesterday
the July temperature this year has been
remarkably cool in comparison with
last year.
The weather man will not say that
yesterdays record will stand, and init
mates that July will go out with a
fierce attempt to set new standard
for heat. He also predicts thunder
storms, with probable showers fer this
locality.
Records for August.
Those persons who rejoice at the
prospect of July's departure can find
little comfort in the promises of Au-
gust. August generally manages to
make a warm weather record of it's
own. The records of the local weather
bureau show that during the past
thirty-one years the mean, or normal,
temperature for the month of August
has averaged 70 degrees. The warm
est August was that of 1900, which had
an average mean temperature of. H.,
and the coolest August was in 1890,
which had a mean temperature of 65.
+ The WarmeSt August day known in
thirty-one years was Aug. 4, 1906,
which registered an even 100 degrees,
government figures. The coolest Au-
gust gay KNOWN was Aug. ~, 1891,
which had a temperature of 40 de-
grees.
~ The average precipitation for the
month of August for the past thirty
one years has been 20 inches. Au-
gust has averaged ten days with pre-
cfpitation of OF inches or more. The
average number of cloudy days for
August is twenty, and the average
number Of fair days eleven.
The prevailing August winds are
from the southeast.
August last year was a pretty warm
month, although it was not nearly SO
hot as last July was. The temperature
for each day last August was as fol-
lows: "a, IS, 76, rs, Sc. S5, 70, Is, 72, II,

death of the father, and in 1899 he be-
came of age. The son died in 1900, and
when the estate came up for probate
Mrs Quincy filed her claim for $4,000
against the estate as the amount of her
expenses incurred. Judge Bazille al

A conservative estimate. figures the
number who visited the island yeSter-
day at $4,000. This number has been
duplicated nearly every day since the
hot weather began. The actual num-
Der Of bathers yesterday was 1915, of
which 5,171 were males. The total re-
ceipts amounted to $142. "a. This is one
of the biggest days since the baths
opened for the season.
Any delights that the island and its
pools conferred last night on the per-
spring crowds was partially lost in the
tortuous climb that each had to make
in reaching the resort. Those crossing
the Wabasha street bridge, as a rule,
used the stairway leading to the fill
below. Here darkness reigned supreme,
while tin cans, ill-snelHng heaps and
sand heaps made walking anything but
a pleasure. Those who used Water
street as an entrance were not any bet
ter favored. Here pipes from the sand
dredge litter the street, while pools OF
water and mud and a three plank side
walk make up the remainder of the dis
comforts that it offers.
After dark the two approaches are
quite dangerous, and a costly damage
suit is expected if some precaution is
not taken.

CONGRESS IN BRIEF
Synopsis of the Proceedings in the Senate
and the HOuse-Bills
and Resolu ions.

Washington, March ct appears
likely now that the senate will reach
a vote on the pending shipping bill
one week from next Monday. This
bill was the principal matter before
the senate yesterday, but only as the
subject of argument. Early in the SEES
sion the senate passed the legislative.
executive and judicial appropriation
bill An executive session was held.
The house continued the debate on
the bill to classify the rural free de-
livery service, but without action adj
journed early out of respect to the
memory of Representative Polk, of
Pennsylvania, whose death occurred
Tuesday night.
Washington, March IA notable
speech was made in the senate yester-
day by Hanna of Ohio on the pending
shipping bill, which he discussed from
the standpoint of an American bust
ness man. Frye, in charge of the
bill. obtained an agreement that the
senate should vote on the measure and
all pending amendments at 8 p. IN.
Monday, March II. A long debate
was had on the anti-anarchist bill.
hC uOuSC uCNOtCu uIothCi W
debate on the bill to classify the rural
free delivery service and~to place the
carriers under contract. Little inter-
est was manifested in the discussion.
Washington. March Son account
of the indispOstion of Vest of Missouri
and Mallory of Florida, who expected
to speak on the pending ship subsidy
bill, that measure was not considered
by the senate yesterday, the time be-
ing devoted to discussion of the anti
anarchist bill, or bill for the protec-
ton of the president. The diplomatic
and consular appropriation was passed.
An executive session was held, and
adjournment was taken to Monday.
The bill to classify the rural free
delivery service and to place the car
riers under the contract system held
the floor in the house. and the members
who spoke confined themselves to the
bill.
Washington, March 10-The house
Saturday closed the general debate
upon the bill to classify the rural free
delivery service and place the carriers
under the contract system. During the
session Sims of Tennessee, speaking
to question of privilege involving
the presidents Interpretation of his
permanent census bureau law, de-
clared that the conferrees on that bill
had deceived the house as to section
3 of the bill (the civil service section).
The speaker ruled that the subject
had been disposed of and no question
of privilege was presented. Hughes OF
Virginia offered a resolution declar-
ing that 1t was tn intention of the
house to ignore the civil service law
as to present employees of the census
bureau above the grade of unskilled
labor, and that this resolution carries
out such intention.

Many Wonder.

Many wonder how it is that pin
worms and stomach worms get into
little children, or how tape worm
300 feet long, can get in and exist and
grow inside of a man, as it sometimes
happens. They may well wonder, for
it is great mystery. However, many
now know from experience that
Mothers Worm Syrup will rid one OF
intestinal worms and greatly improve
the health after the worms have been
destroyed and expelled. 1t is abso-
lutely harmless remedy to take, and
as it only costs 25 cents, all should try
it who suspect worms to be the cause
of their ill health.
