MORE BEER IN A QUART.
Great Boon for Those Who Delight in
"can" Rushing.
From Wednesdays Daily.

Ralph L. Whitney has been studyin ing
the Shove law recently passed by the
legislature and has found that the quart
measures of beer and milk will hereaf
ter be much larger than they have been.
The law provides that beer and milk
must be sold by the system of measures
requiring 2S2 cubic inches to the gallon,
making quart nefourth OF that capa-
city.
Heretofore the gallon used has been
of the wine measure standard, which
contains 23l inches.
While this will not be a hardship on
the dispensers of beer, there may be an
attempt on the part of the milk dealers
to raise the price of milk, as 1t viii be
necessary for them to give y per cent
more milk to the quart than has been
customary.
According to the law, some of the gal
vanized measures used by the grocers
are short, and they have been notified to
comply with the requirements.-NIinne

HAVE OUTSIDE HELP.
If Paving is Done This Year, Specifi.
cations Must Be Right.

From Wednesdays Daily.
If the council decides to pave Cherry
street with brick this year. it is the be-
lief Of President Porter of the board of
public works that the services of Assis-
tant City Engineer Wilson of st. Paul
should be secured to prepare the speci-
fcations, as his experience would be of
great benefit to the city. The Job should
be done right, and by getting Mr.. Will
son or some other experienced man the
city will avoid making any mistakes.
The city officials are practically unani-
nous of the belief that if Cherry street
should be paved with brick this year,
jackson street from Broad to the new
depot should be included in the same con-
tract, as both streets could be paved
cheaper by letting the work under one
contract. jackson street certainly needs
paving as badly as Cherry street. If
those two streets could be paved this
year it would be quite a step forward fo1
the city.

STATE FLOWER SONG.
From Mondays Daily.

From Mondays Daily.
Minnesota has state flower which has
an official standing by virtue OF the
state legislature, and it has been written
into song, bearing the title of THE
Land of the AIoccasin Flower" 1t is
certainly tribute to Minnesota and her
legal floral emblem, and the words and
music are as pretty as the Lady
Slipper" is beautiful The words are by
Capt. ]. H. Waters of Minneapolis and
the music is by Mr.. E. G. Moore OF CHI
cago The author of the words very
graciously complimented Mrs. L. p. Hunt
of Mankato by defeating the song to
her in recognition of the interest she
took in securing the vote on the adoption
of a state flower which resulted in an
overwhelming majority for the Lady
Slipper OF Moccasin flower.
: The words bring out a patriotic senti-
ment which is reinforced and amplifed
by the strong rhythmic flow of music
which MIR. Moore has produced. The
production is one that should find ready
place in the collections of singing socie
ties, clubs, schools and similar bodies
where vocal music is part of the work.
The sale of the music is IN the able
hands of Mrs. ]. W. Griffin Harvard
Chambers, Minneapolis.

BRIDGE BURNED AWAY
Lets an Engine and Freight Car
Fall Through.
Narrow Escape Of an Engineer and
Fireman Yesterday.
Traffic on Chicago & North. Western
Interrupted BY Accident.
Bridge Over Minneopa Creek Partially
Destroyed by Fire.
From TUESDAYS Daily.

from IUeSudN bdllS.
A freight train was partially wrecked
at the bridge over Minneopa creek. four
miles west OF the city, ON the Chicago
& Northwestern railway track. 4ester-
day afternoon The last train to pass
over the bridge had been the west bound
passenger at a little after eleven o'clock.
and it is thought that possibly sparks
from the engine of that train set fire to
the bridge as the east half of the latter
was partially burned away when spec
ial freight train going west approached
the bridge at l:35 p. N. going twenty
five miles an hour The wind blew the
smoke down, so that the engineer did not
see that the bridge was on fire, and the
rails We're in place. The engine was
close upon the bridge when It was dis
covered that it was on fire.
Engineer Degnon put on the air brakes
their lives, and it was well that they did so,
for the engine broke through the bridge,
the rails on the left hand side giving
way. The engine fell into the creek
below, landing on its side twenty five
or thirty feet below the track. The
tender went with it. The first car, which
was an empty stock car, went down,
resting on its end, and the forward
trucks of the second car went over, the
end of the car being slightly damaged by
jamming the upper end OF the car that
was on end.
The conductor walked back to this
city and notified the depot officials Of
the accident, and the wrecking train was
summoned from the Madison division,
reaching the city at seven o'clock this
moilhnlg. Two or three days viii be re-
quired to clear away tie wreck and re-
build the bridge In the meanwhile the
trains on the North Western road will
have to go around by the old route via
Kasota and st. Peter.
The freight train left the depot in
this city at Ills p. m. 1t was heavy
train and was going at good speed. It
is extremely fortunate that no one was
hurt, and had passenger train been the
first to cross the bridge there might have
been a bad accident.
The bridge is in an isolated place, and
cannot be seen from any farm houses.
The fire may have been smouldering for
some time, in the opinion of the local
railroad men, and have broken out after
some time had passed. The right hand
rails still span the bridge. The ears Were
not set on fire, as the wind blew the
flames away from them. Even the piles
were burned, and will have to be re-
placed
