One Of the things to do right now
Is to get ready to have growing crops
on all the land this winter-clover
rye, oats, or wheat. 1t has not yet
been seriously enough considered
that one reason for the greater pow
crty of Southern soils is that where
as Northern lands freeze up in win
ter and hold their fertility, our heavy
winter rains fail on lands not
protected BY any such provision OF
nature, and our only remedy is to
put cover crops on the land.

The county board yesterday after
noon gave the cause of good roads in
Blue Earth a good boost. 1t put in a
valuable afternoons work The people,
both in the city and villages and in
the country are beginning to realize
that there is no expenditure which
brings better returns than good roads,
and the county board has shown that
it is abreast of the times.
President Nyquist OF the CONNER
cial club, and George NJ Palmer, chair
man of the good roads committee of
the club, appeared before the board
and asked that it set aside for use
in gravelng the Eagle Lake road the
amount that it had received from the
state on this road, and after much dis
cussion the hoard agreed to do so, and
voted an appropriation of 5000. In
December Mr. Palmer asked the board
TO appropriate $4,000 for the purpose,
but upon learning the condition of the
road and bridge fund was satisfied
that the board was doing as much as
could be expected at this time by APP
5000. 1t will get back a
large share of this from the state
In addition to this 5000, the Com
mercial club has appropriated 5000, and
the Automobile club 500, and it is
expected that the farmers who VIII
he directly benefited by the improve
ment of the road will donate $500 in
work. This will make 81 200, and
would be sufficient to pay for gravel
ing two miles OF the road. Beginning
where the work was left off last win

BACK TO THE OLD HOME CITY is HARD PRESSED
TREASURY is NOT OVERFLOW
ING WITH THE COIN.
Balance at the End of January Was
S375 50, Three Funds Are Over
drawn, Future Prospects.

The report OF the deputy city treas
urer. Miss Bennett, for January, shows
that the receipts were $3,G45.06, and
the expenditures S5S4294, and that
there was Il net balance at the end of
the month of S375.54. The items Of
saloon license, $1,000; fines and fees,
5000; old sidewalk sold 81; special
assessments, 81 ,4G4.G7; water rents,
81 ,093 90; old iron sold, etc, $i9.56.
Three funds were overdrawn at the
end of the month, as follows: Current,
ST, S65.07; road and bridge, 81 ,37S.53;
waterworks, $4,29S.39. The following
funds had balances on hand: Special
assessment, $S,5S3.45; park, $4.4S; in
terest, S2,559.ll; sinking, 1882;
sprinkling, $4,000; library, 1887.
Since Feb. | the salaries and bills al
lowed by the council have been paid,

Offset
The city is good deal further be-
hind than the statement shows. There
are outstanding against the city about
$4,000 in certificates OF Indebtedness,
issued to contractors who have done
work This represents the entire con
tract work of the season. These GER
tiiicates are supposed to be redeemed
as soon as the special assessments are
paid in, but this has not been done.
All of the certificates issued since
last April are still outstanding, and
practically all of the special assess
ments have been collected, but they
have not been used to redeem the GER
tificates On the other hand, they
have been applied on the current eX-
penses of the city, thus leaving a
deficit of nearly 10000 As no pro-
vision was made in the tax levy for
paving these, the next administration
will be embarrassed with the necessity
of raising funds to pay them off, as
they are drawing interest at six per
cent
1t will be five weeks before the
March settlement is made, when the
city will receive about $4,000 from
the county treasury, but this will not
begin to last the city until the June
settlement. not to mention paying off
any certificates of indebtedness.

From Tuesdays Daily.
DIR. C. j. Beise died at the home of
mis- father in-law, Lucas Troendle, in
Mapleton, at $3.50 o'clock this morn
ing, after a brief illness. His death
was due to quick consumption. He
was stricken with the dread disease
about six weeks ago, following an at-
tack of the grip. A few days ago the
doctor and his family went to Maple
ton where they were to remain for a
short time preparatory to placing the
sick husband and father in a sanitar-
ium. However, the doctors condition
became much worse and it was evident
to the attending physicians and the
members of the family and the rela-
tives that his recovery was among the
impossibilities. Death was hourly ex-
pected during the past several days.

Dr. Beise was born in Medic thirty

early nineties. He spent some months
in New York city hospitals and then
came west, commencing the practice of
his profession in Mapleton where he
remained number of years. He was
married to Miss Lula Troendle, daugh-
ter of Lucas Troendle, one of the most
prominent residents of Mapleton. Three
children were born to this union.
Was of Pleasing Personality.
DR.. Beise came to Mankato about
four years ago. He had established
a splendid practice, and besides was
conducting a Turkish bath parlor and
sanitarium OH modest scale in the
Saulpaugh block. This institution en-
joys large patronage. The doctor
was of pleasing personality and made
many friends who regret his death. He
possessed sterling qualities which en-.
deared him to large number of peo-
pie.
DR.. Beise was Mason, and men,
Der of the Modern Samaritans, Eagles,
Workman and Yeoman lodges. He
carried considerable insurance in these
organizations.
The deceased is survived by widow
and three children, his father, four
brothers, Ed Beise of Medo, Dr. Henry
Beise, a dentist of Window; DIR. Ru-
dolph Beise of Brainerd, and George

TOO LATE TO BUILD PIERS
Work Must Be Delayed Until Next
Winter, Says Mr.. WidetI,

Gerenal Widell states that it is
now too late to put in the piers for
the second bridge across the Mime
sofa river this winter, and that it
will have to 60 over until another
winter. To begin the work now and
he overtaken with high water would
make the work cost $4,000 tot $1,000
more than if it could be done while
the river is covered with ice.
The revised plans, upon which the
contract is let, calls for much bet.
ter bridge than the one planned for
the foot of'A'street. 1t will stand above
the water about as high as the pres.
ent bridge, and will have stone instead
of tubular piers. 1t will also have a
concrete floor which was also on the
first plans.
