bars, dumb bells and weights marked
500 pounds as if they really were
| heavy. He pulled and the perspira-

great chunks. But the small boys
came on the stage and carted the
junk away with perfect ease.
! And another great act was that
of Professor Hackenbach, known
hereabouts as John Gerlich. He had
! three trained seals. TINS was one
of the best things on the program.
| The made-up seals were three small
boys-Lester" Barnes, Mark DeFoe
and Emil Schirrschmidt Jr. The
lads did their work well and are
deserving of great deal of credit.
Professor Hackenbach is sure the
world. His act is new and novel
and should be seen to be appreci-
ated.

In the Concert.
The concert was a fitting after
piece of high-grade show. ]. E.
Reagan sang songs, and his rich
tenor voice was pleasing to the au-

local people for his characters.
DR.. ID. B. Catlin was introduced
as Professor Hasenpfeffer The audi
ence was Informed that the profess
sor would play selections on the
piano. He had the front of a Pad
erewski, and the manner in which
he manipulated his fingers made
everybody believe for while that
he had the technique down fine, but
the longer the doctor played the
more suspicious was the audience.
When a screen was removed Ed
Owen was observed seated at the
real piano. The act was one of the
cleverest and most unique of the
evening

What Republican Members From
Minnesota Have to Say on the
Pending Measures.

interest of the farmer, who large
ly composes the district, rep
resent. | did not feel that the
farmers free list bill, although
it contemplates eaualizing the
tariffs which effect the farmers,
is sufficiently assured of passage
to warrant me in assuming that
the ill effects. of the reciprocity
measure will be neutralized.
A Washington special to The St
Paul Dispatch says:
Representative w. S. Hammond of
Minnesota is in bad with his demo
cratic colleagues in the committee
on ways and means. Mr.. Hammond
was the only democratic member of
the committee to vote against favor
able action ON the Canadian agree
ment, which was today ordered re-
ported to the house. Efforts were
made to bring Mr.. Hammond into
line, but they failed.
Voted Against Reciprocity.
The Minnesota member voted
against the Canadian agreement when
it was brought up in the house at
the last session. He did SO on the
ground that the instrument, in eff
feet, would be prejudicial to the
interests of his, district. In response
to the pleadings of the leaders to
stand in line for the party's sake,
Mr.. Hammond replied that he had
made record on this particular
and that he intended to
stand by it. 49,.
On the farmers bill, which pro-
vides for the transfer TO the free
list of a hundred or more articles of
every day use, Mr.. Hammond voted
with his democratic brethren.
Attitude of Republicans.
Just what attitude the Minnesota
in the house will assume
toward the farmers bill is uncertain.
There are some items of the meas
ure that the Minnesotans have ia
vored in the past. Free lumber is
one Of them.
Representative F. G.. Stevens said
today that he is not in position
at this time to say just how he will
vote on the bill. 81 want to con-
slider its provisions more fully" he
said. Mr.. Stevens is inclined to ia
vor the bill, r,n, ~
tits a good bill as far as it goes, -
said Representative Davis. 1T does
not go far enough, My present in
tention is to. vote against it."
Representative Lindbergh express
ed himself in like manner.

From Tuesdays Daily.
The city council held a short ses-
sion this forenoon and listened to
property owners express their views
as to the kind of pavement to lay.
No action was taken, as efforts are
being made to have Mulberry street
property owners get into line for
paving this year, SO as to enlarge
| the paving district. Another meet
ing will be held Thursday forenoon,
at which time it is likely that def
mite action will be taken.
Judge Cray appeared for the Ma
tional Citizens and Mankato State
banks and the Presbyterian church
and favored creosoted block pave
ment. He said that the First Ma
tional bank, the Elks' lodge and the
Catholic church were in favor of
creosOted blocks. Three or three and
half inch blocks, if the best were
chosen, would be satisfactory to all,
he thought, and then they would
have the best paved street in the
city. Speaking for himself, he was
In favor Of paving West Warren
street, as it was muddy street
and the improvement is needed.
Wanted Paving Delayed.
Fred Heinze appeared and asked
that the paving of Mulberry street
be postponed for one year, and then
the pavement of North Second street
should be extended through, to make
a paving district with the cross
streets. He had paid out $1,000 in
local improvements, exhausting his
bank account.
Dr. P. Follman favored brick on
Walnut street, saying that a noise
is a good thing in the city.
Judge Cray was asked what the
property owners would think of i'm
proving South Second street. He
said that if the street was to be
paved, he would prefer to have it
paved the full width with creosoted
blocks. He was opposed to mar
rowing it up. He thought that five
sixths of the property owners would
be opposed to paving, and would
prefer to have the street graveled,
and he was in favor of this. The
street was not properly graveled be-
fore
A. II. Messer preferred brick pave
ment, so as to have a uniformity,
but he preferred pitch and tar pave
ment on Walnut street.
j }. N. Hall was opposed to creo-
4 soted block pavement, and was in
favor OF not doing any paving this
j year, but preparing for next year.

HOW TO DRAIN FRONT YARn.
A little Work May DO Away With
Going to Law.

Thought spent on the drainage or
he front yard rea2s many returns.
Ii you are on the same grade as your
neignborz, you are entitled according
to law, to allow all water that natu
rally flows that way to run over on
your neigt bO.s, but. in actual prac-
tee it does not pay as there are al
urally runs over on them, says "The
Delineator." On this account I advise
that You buil1 into the yard your own
inlets in order to take away all your
own surface water. It is TO be pre-
suned that your house water-pipe,
from the roof all lead into the sewer
md that the sewer runs out to the
street through your own yard. This
being the case, set small copper iniets
in the walk at thirty foot distances,
leading TO terra-cotta pipes which
empty into the sewer.
At intervals over the yard, about
thirty-foot centors, set inlets of gal
vanized iIoQ, square in shape, at a
height that will be flush with your
sod when the yard has settled. Allow
two inches for this although in three
or four years there generally has to
be shortening Of the terra-cotta
pipes to fit the shrinkage-an easy
job. These inlets should be SO set
that they will catch the storm water
from ext:a heavy rains. There can
be no rule given about it. An engi-
neer can give you the exact spot for
each, but never knew an intelligent
gardener who could not also do it.
Study the lay Of the land an decide
how the water will run, and at the
polnt-suca as a corler-Where it
will meet with some obstacle to dam
back. set an inlet.
Ordinarily there need be no out
let to tire drainage in the beds and
DO ders, but in a yard more than two

other in hfty-foot lot the trench
