Three outside expert electricians to-
gether with supt. Wagner and Chas,
Plllsbury, last week passed final judg-
ment on the new electric lighting plant
and reported to the council at q special
meeting held last Wednesday evening,
that the plant was an excellent one, that
it has been properly installed and that
with the exception Of a few correction
thai: il would be necessary to make in
that shafting. which amounted to very
little, the plant could be accepted in all
confidence of its perfection.
A number of friends gathered and sur
prised Miss Carrie Scar at her home
Saturday evening and enjoyed the time
playing euchre. 'fht evening was spent
in q very sociable way, until a very late
hour. Mr.. Molitor and Miss Kate Kruger
carried off the head prize and the Misses
= 4
Anna Haubrich and Hertha Mueller
given the booy prize, while Aug. schultz
played the lone hand prize which was
the greatest amusement. After the games
vas finished a beautiful lunch was served,
and they repaired to their homes.
Clerk Schjlling is dreading the latter
days of the count in the piano contest.
It is apparent that there are many of the
votes being reserved until near the close
of the contest and this fact will make it
necessary for him to employ a large,
amount of his spare time in doing the,
counting. It would be much better for
him and for the voters if the ballots
were deposited every week aud all who
are holding the tickets put them IN the
ballot box. This would relieve him of
much work and let the PEG pie know how
the vote is going.
Daily papers for the past few days
have been full of accounts of burglaries
of various sums of money. Many of
them have occurred in the southern part
of the state and in Iowa. In one case
a farmer who had hid his money under
the earth In his cellar was robbed of the
entire amount which was more than
| $4,000. These robberies illustrate the
| fact that it is far better to put money in
the banks than to conceal it in the house.
The banks may fail and some times do,
but the money that is lost by not being
in the banks is more than that that is
lost bv having been in the banks.
The Review is IN receipt of communi
cation from the Cannon Falls CONNER
cial club in which that body points out
the necessity of having a combinationkef
municipalities-'sA municipal League"
The purpose is to compel the enforce
ment of state laws. In accordance with
the suggestion recon nendat1on is made
that meeting of the representatives OF
the various municipalities be held in st.
1 Paul about March 18th, for the purpose
i of taking up the matter and organizing
i permanent society. The suggestion is
a good one and the organization of such
bedywould be of untold benefit to the
municipalities of the state.
