TO BEAUTIFY CAPITOL SITE.
Commission Takes Action on the Mat
ter Yesterday.

ter yesterday.
From Thursdays Daily.
Plans for the Identification of the new
state capitol grounds were provided for
at the meeting of the capitol commission
yesterday. Architect Cass Gilbert brief
ly outlined the work which he thought
it was advisable to do this year and
which would be permanent no matter
what subsequent plans for extensive ap-
proaches were made. The commission d.
rected him to prepare his plans so that
bids could be advertised for at the next
meeting.
The chief feature of the work to be
done this year will be laying a curbed
driveway from Cedar street, curving
through the capitol grounds to Park ave-
nue.. The drive will pass under the arch
ed carriage entrance to the capitol be-
meath the main entrance on the south
front of the building.
The grounds will be graded from the
building to the street and walk put in
from Wabasha street and Central ave-
nue.. to the main entrance. Mr.. Gilbert
suggested laying out the grounds and
shrubbery near the building, much after
the manner of the grounds of the ma
tional capitol at Washington, and this
suggestion may be followed in the prep
aration of specifications for the work
to be done next fall. 1t is planned to
sod the grounds and set out the shrub
berry, so that they will present finish
ed appearance next spring.
Notifications of the present plans for
electric light fixtures for the new state
capitol will be arranged by Architect
Cass Gilbert and the two, bidders on
fixtures, and acted on by the meeting of
the capitol commission next month.
The commission yesterday awarded the
contract for standard fixtures to the
Mitchell Vance company of New York
for $ll ,405.70. The price of the spe-
cial fixtures was considered too high,
however, and notifications will be made
to reduce the cost. Architect Cass Gil
bert will go over the matter with the
bidders and it is likely that the contract
for special fixtures will be divided
among several concerns.
The bid of George A. KEGS for register
faces was considered too high and was
referred to Architect Gilbert for adjust
ment The commission decided for the
present not to advertise for clocks for
the building until the other contracts
are let, and it is known how much
money is available for this purpose.
The chief estimates allowed yesterday
were: Butler Brothers, stone and mar
blework, 75,602.10, woodwork, $9,97443;
W. 1. Gray & Co., $l,l67.9s; Flour City
Ornamental Iron Works, $l,l65.42; Ba-
lille & Partridge, $l,O7l9O; E. E. Garn-
sey, $4,000; Otis Elevator Co., $4,000

But It Was Truth. Julius.

The champion liar of The Mankato
Free Press gravely chronicles that w. F.
Dewey of Vernon Center called on The
Free Press and exhibited couple of
strawberries picked from the S. j. Minis
patch in Vernon, that measured six inches
in diameter each, and that one of them
was large enough for meal. The Le-
Sueur liar will have to make new
record to beat that.-Redwood Falls Ga

matter of holding up the school board on
the question of salary. The board had
had good deal of this the past year.
The most graceful thing would be for
the board to fix the salary that it is
willing to pay and then stand by it. If
the teacher does not wish to accept the
salary she can look elsewhere.
Another member thought that the
board did not pay enough salary to the
strongest teachers, and said that it is
about to lose one of these for this rea-
son.
The bills were allowed and the board
adjourned.

Profit and Loss.

Treats of the gains or losses in bust
ness transactions, but is not applicable
to other gains or losses. For instance,
one could hardly explain his profit or

might with due propriety say that his
losses are insignificant when compared
with the gain in strength and vigor he
derived from daily use of Pillsbury's
