saying That it was only three hours
before they would all, be out of Office,
and he took this opportunity to thank
the aldermen for their hearty support
in making his short administration of
fourteen months Il success. They had
had their differences, but. it would al
ways be a pleasure to remember this
fourteen months, and he also thanked
the city officers who had helped make
the administration success. Part
of his success in the election he
ascribed to the good work of the alder
men. He thanked them very heartily
After warmly applauding the mayor,
the council adjourned sine die.
With the blowing of whistles at mid
night, the new commission form of
government was ushered in last night.
The old charter ceased to be the Jaw
of the city at that hour, and the
new charter became effective. Here
after, until Tie voters think it wise to
make another change, the city will be
governed by a commission consisting of
mayor and four counclme,i, and it
will conduct the city's business the
same as the directors of 1t bank con-
duct the banks business.
Mayor Meyer and Commissioners Ban
gertcr, Henlinc and Humiston this
morning filed their oaths of office, AMI
presented their surety bonds 70 Judge
Pau, and the latter approved them.
They thus became qualified to serve on
nankato's first commission, and the
first commission of this character TO
exist in the state. Commissioner Lamm
has been detained in Montana on
business, but will return to the city
tomorrow noon, and his bond las been
prepared and will be filed at once, so
that he can at once enter upon his
duties.
Mayor Meyer states that as soon as
Mr.. Lamm returns he will call the
&C mmission together to apporton their
departments and TO faIn:!alize them
selves with their new duties, as muen
as possible, and TO go over the whole
matter. As Mr.. Lalfm was to return
SO soon, he did not feel like calling
the commission together before he can
be. present.
All of the city officials stuck TIC their
work today, and everything went on
the same as III the past They are dc
facto officers, and as such their acts
will be binding
1t is not expected that the commits
sion will make any radical moves in
the immediate future, but rather bring
about n gradual change to a better ANA
more businesslike system of doing bus
mess. $50

OPENING OF BASS SEASON
Wind Was Blowing Gale; But Few
Fish Caught.
autc nj

From Mondays Daily.
The opening of the black bass sea l.
son at Madison Lake was attended
by the fiercest gale from the north.
west which has ever been noted at
the lake.
The fishermen came out in large
numbers and before ten o'clock every
livery boat haG4 been taken, and by
noon nearly all of them were back
on shore, there were practically no
sheltered hooks and second Sundays
disappointment met those enthusiastic
young picnicers who had only Il
week before been caught in the rain.
There were but few catches of bass
reported on Madison lake. Some of
the guests of Point Pleasant, who
went over to Duck lake where the
water was more sheltered, brought
back fine string, but even. there
fishing was almost impossible.
The state game and fish commission
sent fifteen cans of walleyed pike
spawn TO j. NJ. Barclay Oh Wednes,
day. They were received on the night
train and deposited the same night OH
the rocks and sands around Stony
Point and the bar between that
point and Point, Pleasant.
Some years ago there was like de.
post made in this lake but nothing,
ever was afterward heard of them
but some three or four years later,
the sheapheads began first to be
taken out of the lake. 1t was a cur
ious coincidence but the game and
fish commission strenuously denied any
connection between the two circum-
stances and Samuel Fullerton, TIL y
executive agent of the commission. in
dignantly repudiated the inference that
the wrong seed had been planted !,
Among the, MankatO visitors to the
Point were Mr.. and Mrs. F. NJ. Cur.
rier, Mr.. and Mrs. T. w. Hart and
daughter Helen. j. a. Berquist, Z. j.
Olson, a. d. Fletcher, Miss Ford and
Bob Krost
There were large parties of picnic
crs also at "The Point" who did not
register.
Madison Lake is likely to become
a great Sunday town, especially for
''week end auto parties, the distance
from the twin cities being just about
right for a pleasant Saturday run.
There We're five autos over night at
Point Pleasant from Minneapolis alone.
Following foreign guests were regis.
tered at Point Pleasant for the open
ing of the bass season;

"a reactionary storm period on the
18th, 18th and 10th will quicken the
prolonged tendency to daily thunder
storms and showers, which condition
may be expected through most of this
month, owing. to the combined influence
OF the June solstice and the Venus
