North Side Folk Make
Move For a Fine Park
From Thursdays Daily.

from - nuISodytS sGdttys Nst
North Mankato wants a park, and
wants it bad. land the. Commercial
club decided last evening to call a
mass meeting of the citizens to get
their views on the subject The
meeting will be held in the school
house next Thursday evening; July
81, and every one is expected, to be
present. The ladies'. on account of
their superior knowledge of .aesthet-
les Of the sex, are especially 3 re-
quested to come and tell what they
think about the :. park. proposition.
Handbills will be distributed to every
house in town, so that. no. one will
have any excuse for not coming. A
committee consisting of Professor
c. e. Ball, chairman, w. H. Sharp,
Henry Robel, ST., Joseph Leonhardt,
and R. c. Dalton was appointed to
make arrangements for the meeting
1t was suggested, that a, corporation
be formed to make the purchase
of the park site.2 n. ~. zsts
1t was the, idea of those present
at the meeting last night. that the
beauty and cleanliness of any vii
lage is a fair index to the civic
pride of its citizens, and in pursu-
ance to this idea, it was suggested
by Professor C. e. Ball that weed
day" be inaugurated to make ter
rife onslaught on the, obnoxious
weed. Wednesday, July 80, was the
day decided upon. and Joseph Leon
hardt, C. E. Ball, Henry Robel, w.
H. Sharp, W. E. Stewart, D. Dona-
hue and R. C. Dalton were APP
pointed to superintend the destruc-
ton of weeds in the blocks in which
they live. - @
The condition of the bridge over
the Minnesota river was, discussed,
a committee was appointed to re-
quest the proper authorities to have

repaired. 1t seems that there is an
abrupt elevation at this end of the
bridge of about six inches, and it
is dangerous to automobiles and
other vehicles to ascend this
bump" Oftentimes, the sharp grade
kills the engine of a car, and heav-
lily loaded wagons have been broken
on account of it.
As Secretary F. NJ Druckenbrod

for the remainder of the term. w.

such establishments to employ peo-
pie suffering from any contagious,

clans certificate of good health from
any such employe.

the appearance of honest laboring
men. They stated that three men
attacked them, taking $1.40, a pair
of shoes off the feet of one of them,
and both their caps. One of the
young men had AN ugly cash in his
face. which he said was caused by1 a
chunk of coal thrown at him by one
of the ASSISTANTS. Policeman .Hag-
gerty and Deputy Sheriff .Wadd ac-
companied the fellows down to the
train which was still in, the yard,
but no trace of the thieves could be
found, they evidently having made
their escape on one of. the trains
which pulled out just as the one
they were on pulled in. The thieves
did not get all of the money, the
two young fellows had as one of
/ them had "a belt around his waist
with $50 in it. The young fellows
