JACKSON PARK
ENTERTAINMENT
DUNBAR CONCERT COMPANY
HAS LARGE PATRONAGE.
EXCELLENT PROGRAM
The Selections Were Given in an Es-
pecially Able Manner Milton
Band Was Fine.

The entertainment at Jackson s
Park yesterday afterr oon and evening
was attended by large number of
people from this city, the heat Of the
day driving many from the city to
the cool shade of the Park and the
novel entertainment offered formed a
pleasing diversion.
Half hour service on the interurban
was given, and this accommodation
proved very acceptable to those who
visited the park. The grounds were
crowded all day long, early and late,
with both picnic parties and those
who were over to hear the entertain
ment and concert.
The Dunbar concert company show
ed itself to deserve all that the ad-
vance agent had spoken concerning it
as the best concert company in the
country. Its selections were rendered
IN fine manner and the applause was
prolonged after each rendition.
The concert company wa sthe first
thing of the kind heard in this city
for several months, and the patronage
extended to it was all that could be
desired by the most grasping promo
ter.
The Milton. Band was at it's best
which is very good best indeed, and
the pieces were played in askillfu
manner. A change of program was
given in the evening, the concert com
pany confning itself then to Songs
ETC., more than to instrumental selec
tions.
) The many improvements that have
taken place at Jackson's Park wer'
the subject of a great deal of favora
bic comment among the visitors.

ROYAL NElGHB0RS AT PLAY
Past, Present and Future Happenings
at ST. Clair.
From Tuesdays Daily.

from TUESDAY Ddily.
On Friday evening the Royal Neigh
bors and their friends held forth at the
town hall in regal style. Although the
attendance was hardly up to expecta-
lions the numbers were much enjoyed,
more especially on account of the music
rendered by the Concordia orchestra.
Mrs. William Roswell, who catered to
the gustatory appetites of the merry
makers, was also a prime factor in the
evenings success.
At Tivoli, the same evening, the air
was rife with the shouts of seventy-tive
who had gathered with Mrs. Phalin,
superintendent of the Tivoh Sunday
school, for social reasons. To various
lawn games and neighborly chat, was
added most dainty box luncheon which,
with accompanying repartee, brought
the affair to most delightful climax
somewhere near midnight.
The team from Good Thunder at
tempted to blot the St. Clair escutcheon
Sunday, but after the smoke had clear
ed away, the score was most gratifying
to the Smith Mill-St. Clair combination,
l2-l.
At the Congregational church Sunday
evening, special attention will be given
to our national memories of the sac
rifces made for the perpetuation of this
republic. E. Dudley Parsons will give
a memorial address and the choir will
render appropriate music. A special in
vitation is extended to Civil and Spa
nish- American war veterans.
The other view shows the creamery
on Mr.. Hills farm. 1t is brick struc-
ture of attractive architectural design,
and it has practically every known de-
vice to aid the buttermaker in produc-
ing the best article possible. The drain
age and sewer systems are the best. An
elevated passageway connects the stable
with the creamery, so that all the milk
man has to do when he gets through
milking is the walk along the passage
way and pour the milk into receptacle,
from which the milk goes into weighing
cans and then into cooling tank.
Among the views of Mr.. Tompkins'
farm will be photograph of Holstein
Fresian cow named De Kol Matild, which
gives eighty-two pounds of milk every
day. Another photograph will show a
fourteen year-old cow which has three
generations of offsprings.
The views of c. M. Lorin's Guernseys
will show the most expensive herd of
that breed in the United States. Sever
al of the calves are valued at ST 900 each.
The creamery on Mr.. Loring's farm is
valued at $4,000.

a buggy and signed some papers, accord
ing to the statements given out in The

plentiful in the river at that city these
strange sights are unaccountable. Next

Charter Commission Completes and
Adopts This Section.
Council Can Give Property Owners
Series of Years to Pay.
The Assessments Will Be Made By
the Common Council.
fiye-sixths Vote Required to Pass
Over Mayors Veto.
From Tuesdays Daily.

The charter commission met last night
and read over and adopted the chapter
relating to the making of public inn
provements and the levying and collec-
ton of assessments for the same. This
entire section is practically repetition
of the state law, and must comply with
that, although not in all respects salts
factory to the commission.
The chapter is the longest in the char
ter, and the whole evening was devoted
to it. 1t makes two radical changes
from the present charter. One is by
providing that the assessments shall
be made by the common council instead
of by the board of public works LIN
practice, it may be that, should the
new charter be adopted, the board would
recommend the assessment in the first
instance. to be submitted to and adopt
ed by the council. The other is that
special assessments may be paid for in
installments over series of years up to
ten, as the council may elect.
The commission made one change in
the section, so as to require vote of
five-sixths of the council to pass pub
lie improvement measure over the veto
of the mayor, instead of two thirds
vote, as provided in the law. There was
some question as to whether the law
could be amended, but inasmuch as it
was for the benefit of the property to be
it was the general opinion of
the attorneys on the commission that it
would be safe to make the change. At
worst, if taken into the courts, the sec
ton would not be invalidated. This
change makes it little harder to get
an improvement through where there is
no merit to it, or at least where the
mayor takes issue with the desirability
of it. improvements can still, as at
present, be initiated by the council when
in its judgment necessity requires. With
six aldermen, it takes a two thirds vote
to order the improvement in the first
place.
1t was decided to add section to the
chapter, giving the right of appeal to
owners from the action of the
council in making assessments. At pres
ent there is no right of appeal, even
though an injustice has been done. The
sub committee was instructed to pre-
pare such an amendment
The other features of the chapter do
not differ much from the present city
charter.
The commission decided to meet again
tomorrow night. Such progress has been
made that it is believed that the charter
can be completed in two or three more
meetings. 1t is probable that a vote
will not be taken on the matter of a
street commissioner until after the re-
turn of Mic Petersen and DR.. j. w. An
drews next week, when full member
ship can be secured.

er Instructor in Iowa.

From Tuesdays Daily.
L. H. Ford, formerly superintendent of
schools at Owatonna, but more recent
ly holding a like position at Webster

Der, county superintendent.
A dispatch from Webster City states
that Professor Ford lies at his home in a
most critical condition.
The worst injury is at the base of the
skull near the spine, and blood clot or
blood vessel rupture is feared, which
would prove fatal.
The assault occurred in the office of
Ford, whittier Gerber had gone to in
terview the superintendent over the sus-
pension of his son Ralph, who is a senior

Views of James ]. Hills Farm to Be
Exhibited at Big Fair.
Dairy and Food Commission Is Inter
ested in the Matter.
Photographs Of Full Blooded Cattle
to Be Shown.
The Best Herds in the State Are
to Be x-Rayed.

From Wednesdays Daily.
Views of the North Oaks dairy farm
of James j. Hill, president of the Great
Northern railroad, will be a feature of
the exhibit of the state dairy and food
commission at the st. Louis worlds fair.
Mr. Hill owns probably the finest herd
of Ayrshire cattle in the Middle West,
and the creamery on his farm at North
Oaks is model of sanitary excellence.
The plan of the commission is to send
photographs mounted in attractive
frames, lSx34 inches, of four represen-
tative herds in Minnesota, one for each
of the four breeds, Holstein Fresian,
Ayrshire, Guernsey and Jersey. Mr..
Hills herd of Ayshires has been selected
as the best of that breed in Minnesota.
The herd of Holstein Fresians owned by
T. S. Tompkins of the Southside farm,
one and one-half miles from Wildwood,
has been photographed to represent that
breed. The Guernseys will be represent
ed by views of the herd of c. M. Loring
of Minneapolis and the Jerseys by photo
graphs of the herd of the Peavey estate
of Minneapolis.
The commission has secured two pho
tographs of Mr.. Hills dairy farm. One
shows herd of l40 cows in the yard
near the farm buildings. The view is
probably one of the most attractive that
will appear at the worlds fair. Every
cow is in the best condition possible, the
yards are inclosed by neat fences, the
buildings in the rear are of plain, sub.
stantial appearance, and an atmosphere
of cleanliness pervades.

Objects to Extension of the Water
Mains Up Bunker Hill.
Recorder Lays Valuable information
Before's cify's Aldermen.
Claims Finances of Municipality Will
Not Warrant Improvement
Says Water Works System Is Not a
Big Paying Institution.

From Tuesdays Daily.
City Recorder Hodapp has prepared
a communication to the council in regard
to the proposed extension of the water
mains up Bunker hill to supply the resi-
dents there with city water. He sounds
note of warning, showing that the
water fund is not at present in condi-
ton to stand the drain of a $1,000 ex-
penditure unless reinforced by bond
issue, or money held back from the
sinking fund that was established to pay
off some of the water bonds that are
soon coming due, as required by the
charter.
The communication is as follows:
To the Common Council of the City
of Mankato: Your honorable body, hav-
ing ordered water mains laid up Bun
ker hill to Highland park, involving an
expenditure of approximately $4,000, I
want to make an explanation as to the
condition of things.
The work now laid out and ordered
to be done by the city this season will
not justify this improvement in the
present state of the finances. AS near
as can be figured out, the waterworks
fund at the end of the year will be at
least $1,000 short of last season, and
with this improvement going in there
would be nothing left at the end of the
fiscal year with which to place the 3d.
600 in certificates to pay bonds las for
merly done).
1t seems that there is an impression
that the waterworks system is a big
paying institution, but the contrary is
the fact. The fact is that if the interest
on the water bonds was paid from this
fund it would come out about even, but
as it amounts to about $1,000, is paid
out of the general tax levy, consequently
this is left to be placed as above stated
and to pay for this improvement from
some other fund cannot be legally done
and besides the treasury being about 3d.
600 short of last year at this time, so ii
is plain to see that there is no provis-
ion to pay, unless we borrow money fol
| which there is no authority. So the only
thing to do would be to vote bonds, OF
the council order that the placing of the
So 900 in certificates be omitted this
year, which certainly would be unwise
to do and contrary to the intention Of
the charter (although it is not plain OF
this point) I think it means that The
frontage tax at any rate should be plac
ed in sinking fund for the payment Of
bonds; but this has not been observed
before. The council instead has votet
the $4,000 certificates for that purpose
Now, l warn the council and board O.
public works not to proceed with thu
work until more definite provisions hav'
been made to pay for this extension O
water works.
Il A conservative business man first con
suits and examines his standing befor
undertaking an important proposition
The same ought to be so in this instance

subject and feeling it my duty, be
