bid. New York firm offered to. take the
bonds at par, minus a commission of
one-quarter of 1 per cent. This was not
entertained and at the council meeting
two weeks ago it was decided to adver-
tlse all over again, in the hope that the
money market might have eased up BY
the time the bonds were advertised.
But money is just as tight now as ever,
and the bond buyers do not find 81 per
cent bonds at all attractive It is Mr..
Rogers opinion that no bids will be re-
ceived.
A vast amount Of public improvements
rests with the proposed bond issue. OF
the total, 100000 was to be, expended in
paving and sewers. The widening of the
Washington avenue bridge at Thirty sec
ond avenue north depends upon the $215,-
bridge bond issue. Then there are $780,
600 worth of waterworks bonds
Local Improvement work is at a stand
STILL, and. with the delay that has already
resulted. under the most favorable con-
ditions only comparatively small pro-
portion of the contemplated work can be
done this year. In the latter part of the
season the city would experience consider
able, trouble in securing material, as that
would have to be advertised for, causing
another delay.

REBATE SYSTEM
is BIG FRAUD
Believed That Stacy's Report
Will Put End to Custom
of Enriching Sharks.

Opponents Of the rebate system which
has fourished in Minneapolis until it has
reached a rank growth believe that the
full report Of F. n. Stacy, made yesterday
to the council committee on accounts Of
city officials, will deal the practice
knockout blow. 1t is high time for &C
cOrding to Mr.. Stacy, who was commits
stoned to show what had become of the
permanent improvement revolving fund,
or a large fraction thereof. the city has
within the last fourteen years refunded
more than $4,000 900 on taxes levied for
sewers, paving, curb and gutter, water
works and sidewalks.
The first actual attempt to stop this
drain, which has been steadily enriching
the rebate sharks, was made by Mayor
J. c. Haynes the other day when he We
toed council resolution reducing an as
sessment for a sewer in Jefferson street
northeast. The permanent losses con-
sist of money paid out as rebates due to
annulments Of various improvements by
the council and to the Haugan short
age.
The most startling feature of a loose
system disclosed by Mr.. Stacy's- inyesti-
cations is that where assessments were
less than the actual cost of special i'm
proponents, the rolls have been deliber-
ately raised by some one who interlined
the new figures, Being without authority.
these lifts" were admittedly Illegal, yet
rebates have been collected on such al
tered assessments. Instances are not
wanting where politics, favoritism. cleri-
cal mistakes and unbusinesslike methods
nave combined to drain the revolving fund
ana the permanent improvement funds.
Soncldent with Mr.. Stacy's report is
that OF I. S. Dickey, who has been seek
ing to discover what assets belong to the
revolving fund. He finds that about
$9OO,OOO less than has been paid into the
revolving fund than out.

1t Might Again be Made a Delightful

Route for LeisureIy Travellers.
If the river cities and towns would
waste less time with foolish visions Of
becoming seaports and bringing ocean
going vessels up a dangerous and long
channel to their wharves and devote
more energy to improve the river for
steamboat navigation they might ex-
pect to accomplish a great deal more
good. There is no reason why the Mis-
SlSslppi should not float large fleets
OF steamboats, carrying passengers
and freight. There is no country in
the world possessing a waterway with
hundredth part of the facilities Of
fered by the Mississippi that does not
enjoy tenfold the river traffic that is
seen on the great river. The water
way should be constantly traversed by
palat1al steamboats, all the way from
New Orleans to st. Paul. There should
be fast passenger vessels making the
trip regularly between the city and ST,
Louis, and from there to points in the
upper river. There is no more enjoy
able trip in the world than a voyage
on fine steamer up the Mississippi
river. Of course. it is longer than
travel by rail- but with the leisure
class of travellers time is not so inn
portant, while all the discomforts.
such as the heat, dust, smoke and the
restraint of cramped quarters which
are accompaniment of railroad tray-
ell, are lacking on the river, where a
traveller can have every comfort of 2
first-class hotel.
This is the sort of DEVELOPMENT of
the Mississippi river that is needed.

ship channel to enable seagoing ships
to unload their cargoeS at ST. Louis

10 Develop the Chest.

The neck and chest can be deyeloped
finely in three months by the following
rules:
AS you walk about raise the Shout
ders quickly and then throw them
back and then down. Count quickly
as you do -2-3-raising them to
1 and SO on. After going through this
three times or more, you are ready to
walk properly. Keep the chest out
and be careful each time not to let tie
shoulders come forward at the last
count-3- They must go down and
back, If anything.
AS you walk, continually keep the
chest pushed out and the abdomen
and stomach forcibly drawn in. See
how long you can hold your breath.
and, as you hold it, raise the fhest
higher and higher. This is what sing
ers do when they wish to sustain long
passages in one breath.
When you find you must exhaust
your breath, do not let the chest fall.
and take the breath instantly and
quietly through the nose only and by
pushing out the sides. Then instantly
begin slowly drawing in the sides and
abdomen and rise the chest higher
and higher.
Any one who will try this will in
crease in measure from shoulder to
shoulder and around bust two inches
in three months.

and it should be held that the city is
in duty bound to maintain the bridges
over the railway tracks, the city would
reimburse the Great Northern for it's
expenses in making the temporary re-
pairs. Neither valves any of it's rights
