APPEAL ARGUED TODAY.
Barber Co. VS.. City Of Mankato Before
u. S. Court Of Appeals.

US. Court Of Appeals.
From Wednesdays Daily.
The arguments in the appeal of the
city from the decision of Judge Loeb
rem in the case of the Barber Asphalt
Paving company VS.. the City of Man
kato, were made before the United
States court of appeals at st. Paul
today. Each side had two hours to
make the argument. This was one of
three or four cases to be heard by the
court today.
City Attorney Daley, A. E. Clark
and c. n. Andrews appeared on behalf
of the city, and Howe, Taylor & Mitch
ell and A. R. Pau for the Barber AS
phalt company 1t is hardly expected
that decision will be handed down be-
fore next fall.
This is the action Wherein the Barber
Asphalt company secured a judgment
against the city of Mankato for about
$4,000 and interest for the paving of
Broad street. If the city wins in to-
days hearing the Barber company will
be out, but if the Barber company
wins, as is generally expected, then the
question will be taken up as to whether
the city must pay the judgment out of
a tax levy or by levying the assess
ment on the property owners, OF in 9TH
er words by enforcing the provisions of
the contract.

Worth Reading.

In all the Baking Powder WARS
that have been internationally waged in
the last twenty years, there is one point
that has been overlooked by the bel
ligerent makers of these goods. Rival
manufacturers have contented them
selves with accusing their competitors
of making an unwholesome product
The question of keeping quality, and,
therefore, efficiency i'll raising bread, the
only purpose for which baking powder
is used, appears to have been generally
ignored. There are many powders which
when fresh, and the can is first uncov-
cred, will do fairly good work, but aft
er standing for same time on the pan
try shelf, the powder becomes so weak
as to be almost worthless as far as
raising bread is concerned. This is es-
pecially true in the case of the So
called phosphate" powders, which, were
it not for this fatal defect, would be
satisfactory baking powders. The UNI
successful attempts to overcome this
fault of the phosphate" powders has
enlisted the services of more chemists
and cost more money than the solution
of any other problem connected with
the raising of bread. The makers of
these Phosphate" powders raise great
cry about the wonderful healthfuness
of their product, but what matters all
this if the powder will not fulfill the
only object for which it is purchased?
The housewife to WHOM economy is an
object will avoid these phosphate"
powders.

Automobile Street Sweeper.

From Harper's Weekly.
 A recent European invention that Is now being brought to the attention of municipal authorities is an automobile street sweeping and watering machine. This device, which has been tried in Paris with some success, consists of large automobile truck fitted with a tank having a capacity of 470 gallons of water. There is twelve-horse- power motor, which can use as fuel either gasoline, kerosene or alcohol. and to which by bevel gearing is con nected a rotary brush fixed diagonally across the frame of the. vehicle. In front of this brush 1t is possible to dis charge variable amount of water to lay the dust, which is then swept to one side, while there are two discharge pipes at the rear pierced with fine holes from which water may be sprayed over 8 width of street of twenty feet. The new machine can accomplish as much as six street cleaners and several horse water carts and it's use involves considerable saving in labor.

A Real Farmer Lord.

From Everybody's for January,
 A Mexican farmer, Don Luis Terra gas, a great friend of President Diaz, has what you might call a tidy little farm at Chihuahua-about eight mil lion acres. Takes the Mexican Central trains more than half day to cross it.
 Don Luis is thought to own more than a million cattle. His stable con sists of some 100, ,00O horses; his sheep fold of 100000 sheep. From 100000 to 100000 calves are branded with his brand every spring. More than thous- and cowboys and so on keep his cattle on a thousand hills By the way, his farm includes few mountains for diversification.
 At his slaughter and packing houses, near Chihuahua City, 250000 cattle, as many sheep. and nogs innumerable are killed, and away they go in his own refrigerator cars. Some 10000 persons dwell on his estate and are ruled by this Arabian Nights farmer, who lives in a two-million tsilver) dollar castle and is swell and nabob such as fhese United States know not
