decided to invoke new tactics. The
bees were given a strong smudge.

About month ago the attention
of Mayor Taylor was called to the
that was being dumped in the river
bed under the bridge. Action was
promptly taken following orders di-
rectly from the mayor, but condi-
tons are such that rubbish can be
easily dumped there unbeknOwn to
the officials of the city and when
once there it remains and is an ugly
eyesOre TO pedestrians on the bridge
and travellers at the depot. Lately
brick and debris from a building has
been dumped near the driveway to
sand pits. If not nuisance in any
other way it is plainly violation OF
the state law, prohibiting the plac-
ing of any obstruction in the river
bed. Conspicuous signs prohibiting
the dumping of rubbish, etc. in the
river bed, might be means of
stopping this nuisance. If those who
have been guilty of hauling the
stuff to the river were compelled to
remove it, they would be receiving
an effective lesson.
The trench for the drain to carry
off the surplus water from the well
to the river is nearly completed. 1t
was found impossible to use the ma.
chine in digging the trench on ac-
count of the trees and roots. Work
of excavating for the water mains
will be started Monday. A mistake
was made in mentioning the changes
ho Of
Range street instead of abandoning
the mains on Wheeler avenue east
of Range 1t should have been the
section on Belgrade and Wheeler
avenues, which will be extended
north on Range street from Wheel
er avenue. No mains have been
planned for Wheeler avenue east OF
Range street.
The North Mankato w. c. T. U.
met yesterday afternoon at the home
OF Mrs. Isaac Larson on Sherman

port of district convention, given

ors were present. Mrs. Holland of
Charles City, Iowa, was present with
her cousin, Mrs. Aida Sherk. One

refreshments were served.
Mrs. Jensen and Miss Johnson
sang a duet very sweetly. Miss EN-
ma Larson played very beautiful
music. Everyone enjoyed the meet
ing.
Emil Rohde left yesterday after
noon for Marshall, Mimi, where he
will sell heating and ventilating
plants for Waterman & Waterbury
of Minneapolis. The plants are
especially adapted for country
schools. Mr.. Rohde has been
assigned two counties. If con
Gitions are found favorable he will
probably make it permanent EN-
ployment.
Bicycle riding on sidewalks has re
ceived sharp check lately. Six
parties have been arrested and fined
during the last two weeks. 1t would
seem that this ought to be sufficien'
warning to those who have been for
tunate in avoiding arrest.
