Err FOR MIR. JONES.

1T wonder how many Minneapolitans
realize what splendid institution the
city has in the Gerber baths on Hall s.
island,'' said Mayor David P. Jones
after q visit to the baths.
II confess that I had no conception
whatever Of it's Importance, and / am
pleased almost beyond words to express
my pleasure over what has been accom-
plished by Alderman Gerber. From
ber. The city can be proud Of having
such a citizen, a man who will go to
work without any sounding of trum-
pets, but quietly and unostentatiouslY
create an institution, which is Of such
inestimable benefit and pleasure. I
am Informed, that Mr.. Gerber stands
personally responsible for $4,000, and
in some way, for Mr.. Gerber, as I un-
derstand it, is not wealthy man.
"Every citizen in Minneapolis should
make it point to visit the baths on a
hot day, and if he does not say that
it is the finest thing undertaken in this
city for a long time ! will be much sur
| prised. ~ -

POLES MUST GO
Telephone Company Is Ordered Off Two
. ---.@E St. Paul Streets. sfsEstSs5

: The Twin City Tele phone, company
was ordered by the St. Paul assembly
last evening to remove it's poles from
St. Anthony avenue, between Rice and
Dale streets, and from Carroll street,
between St. Albans and Grotto streets.
The action is taken because residents
insist that they want curb and boule-
ward. The company protests that it
was given permission to erect the poles,
without any time limit, and that if the
poles are removed it must discontinue
service to the subscribers on those
streets, as it will not pay to put the
wires under ground. ...
A measure to prevent another such
destructive fire as that of the RYAN An
mex was introduced into the St. Pau
assembly last evening by Assemhlyma1
