RAILROADS RAISE TRACKS
Complaint Made BY North Mankato
Has Had Its Effect

The railroad companies have had
their track raised ut tile Main street
crossing, SO that the ptchoif at the
end of the bridge, complained of by
the North Alankato council, has been
done away with. and low spots cut
out. The grade is now right for the
pavement. The railroads have had
large forces of men at work, and have
used quantities OF cinders for filling
purposes.
Fielding & Shepley will begin to lay
concrete tomorrow, on Second street
They have practically completed the
grading. The street has been 50 torn
up with excavations as TO look. like
a prairie dog town on an exaggerated
scale
From the number of catch basins
being put i'll, it would seem that the
street ought to be well drained Many
connections have keen made with the
new fifteen inch storm sewer. and
troubles like those heretofore expert
enccd will be a matter of the past.

Colonel Roosevelt So Regarded By the
Natives of Paris

Paris, April 27.-Parisians have dis
covered new cause of admiration for
Colonel Roosevelt Hitherto venting
their enthusiasm OH him as states
man, orator and peacemaker, they have
now discovered that he is also one of
the best dressed Americans ever seen
in Paris.
While the clothes the colonel OBJ
tanned when he reached civilization
were above reproach, they were not
particularly distinguishable from the
general run of attire. Today his new
frock coat and trousers are the per-
lection of the tailor's art Absolutely
without wrinkle or flaw, the coat clings
to the Roosevelt figure in manner
that made the French tailors envious.
Mr.. Roosevelt spent the morning i'll
a visit to the Luxembourg gallery, be-
ing accompanied by Ambassador JUS
serand and Ambassador Bacon. After
inspection of the paintings and sculp-
walked for some time in the garden of
Luxembourg, the former president show
ing special interest in the Fontaine
de Medicis by Debrosse. Later they
were joined by Mr.. Bacon and the
three motored to the Bots de Bolllogne.
where they had luncheon, the others
of the party being Premier BRAND, NJ.
Barthou, minister of justice, and Gen

Would Have Their Sex Fill Vacancies
on List Of Visitors.
ST. Paul, April 27.-No action has
been taken on the designations of Dr.
S. G.. Smith and Dr. G.. L. Greene, who
have left the state board of visitors.
The places will doubtless be filled in
the near future. The Woman's Fed
Grafton of Minnesota has appealed to
the governor for representation OH the
board of visitors. The federation says
that a large number of the inmates
of the state institutions are women
and that it is highly important that
a woman should be member of the
board, It was rather more than hint
ed that i'll all probability Governor
Eberhart will name woman as u
member of the board.
DR.. Smith refused to add anything
to his statement sent to the COVER
nor Monday. I'm Il postscript to his
letter of resignation he said that his
action was taken without consultation
with Dr. Greene.
1t was said at the capitol that
DR.. Smith had been piqued by the
action of the board i'll removing Mrs.
c. X. GoodHow, the boards stenog-
raphcr, and by the report made by
the board of control Oh the situation
at Rochester. This Dr. Smith denied.

The new charter carried by thirty
two above the necessary four-sevenths
majority to enact it. 1t had POS ma
jority i'll the city, so it goes into
effect well endorsed. There were cast
for the charter 96G votes, and against,
it GGS, making a total vote OF. 1854, or
204 more than were cast at the last
charter election, Sept. ~ last.
Every ward cast heavier vote than
last fall, but the gain was greatest
III the three upper wards, where the
stay lat home vote last fall was the
cause of the charter not carrying then.
Charter Gained in Every Ward.
There was material gain in the
vote in favor of the charter in every
ward, as compared with last falls cleo
ton, while those opposed to the char
ter made a gain in only three of the
wards and suffered Il loss in three of
the wards. Tie gain for the new

With automobiles. they got out and

merous voters who would otherwise
not have voted.
Both sides waged an active fight,
and the opponents of the new charter
were out early and got their vote in,
while those who were working for the
charter did not have their conveyances
ordered to report until eleven o'clock.
Up to noon, the ants undoubtedly had
the best of it. while it was the after

Thirty-TwO Votes to Spare.
With total vote of 1874 cast, it
took 934 to carry the charter, to clear
the four seventies majority. As there
were 966 votes cast in favor of the

spare.
Valuable for Reference.
Those who received charters should
preserve them, as they will be valuable
for reference purposes. A new form

very plain and explicit and will be

The new charter goes into effect in
