Trade.

a Trade.
There is a certain famous violinist
who frequently visits this country and
who among his acquaintance is al
most as noted for his parsimony as for
his genius. Among this musicians adj
mirers was young woman who was
determined, If possible. to procure
some souvenir Of the great man. Her
opportunity came one rainy day when
she CHANGED to encounter the musician
on Broadway. He was provided with
an old cotton umbrella, green with age.
while the young woman carried nice
new silk one.
She stopped him for moment, ex
claiming:
"Oh, If you would only give me some
slight remembrance of yourself-no
matter how small"
The great man surveyed her keenly
and then gave glance at the old cot
ton umbrella that covered him. This
he thrust into her hands. saying:
Certainly, my dear young lady. l
shall be delighted. We will exchange
umbrellas" -Lippineott's.

Speed of Birds.

According to c. A. Mitchell, the
speed Of birds is often greatly over
rated. The swift. for instance, has
been credited with speed of $50 miles
an hour, and the popular Imagination
compares the fight of sparrow hawk
with that of a cannon ball! 1ndepend-
ent Of aid from the wind, Mr.. Mitchell
thinks forty miles an hour is about the
full speed Of good pigeon flying a
long distance. The homing pigeon can
be relied on under fairly easy condi-
tons to make sixty miles an hour, or
considerably more On short course
sparrow hawk can Outfy homer,
but the sparrow hawk frequently fails
to catch smaller birds that form its
prey.-London Express.

Council Levies A $4,000 Tax
For 1915.

At the regular meeting of the city
council held last Tuesday evening a
communication from the Eagle Roller
Mill Co. requesting permission to extend
their side track at the corn and cereal
mill across Front Street to give them
more car storage capacity which they
require on account of the increased out
put of this mill, was read. Mr.. Siegel
of the Mill Company was present and
explained to the council what they
wanted and why they needed it. The
street committee reported that they had
inspected the grounds where the track
was to be laid and felt that the request
of the mill should be granted. The
request was granted and the city engineer
was instructed to make a plat of the
sidetrack in question and file it with the
city clerk.
At the request of the Commercial Club
city attorney Henry N. Somsen was
instructed to prepare a petition for the
laying of judicial road from a point on
the road leading to the Metzen bridge,
short distance beyond the M. & St. L..
track, thence in an easterly direction to
point little beyond the Northwestern
railroad bridge at Redstone and there
across the river into Nicollet County and
thence toward CORTLAND to a point
where it enters the road now leading to-
the village. The matter was brought
to the attention of the council by Albert
Steinhauser and Charles Vogtel, the
committee appointed by the Commercial
Club. The feasibility and necessity of
this road will be determined by Judge
Olsen to whom a petition signed by at
least 20 residents and freeholders of
Brown and Nicollet Counties must be
presented. If the road should be laid
out it will of course, necessitate the
building of bridge across the Minnesota
River at Redstone. After the road has
been laid out and established, it is hoped
that the State Highway Commission can
be induced to lay this out as state road,
in which event, half Of the expense would
be borne by the State and the balance
equally between Brown and Nicollet
Counties. County Commissioner Henle
who happened to be present at the
meeting stated that the County Board
could not lay out this road even if they
wanted to do so.
In instructing the city attorney to
prepare the necessary petition, the
council assumed no obligations whatever.
They simply put their stamp of approval
on the efforts of the Commercial Club

o get the Redstone road laid out.

The same committee presented a
further request and recommendatio to
the council asking that the automobile
regulations be enforced strictly. Pres.
Retzlaff stated that the council certainly
favors strict enforcement of all auto
mobile regulations but that in his opinion
this is a matter entirely in the hands of
the Mayor and the police department.
He thought that the arrest and punish
ment of few offenders would bring the
desired results. Acting Mayor Mueller
who was at the meeting stated that it
was hard to catch the offenders, Because
they would recognize the police as they
are in uniform and the speeders would
slow up whenever they saw them. No
resolutions were adopted but it was made
very plain that the council is looking
forward to a strict enforcement of all
automobile regulations.
Upon the recommendation of the New
Uim Fire Department Henry Engel was
again appointed Chief of the Department
for the ensuing year. The request of
Jerry Reardon that his liquor license be
transferred to Andrew Amann was
granted after the bond of Mr.. Amann
had been approved.
The report of the Park Commission
to the effect that 1925 will be required
next year to run their department, was
referred to the Finance Committee for
investigation and report.
Albert Evenings bill for loss sustained
on account of electrical supplies pur-
chased from the city proving worthless
was allowed in the sum of $79.18 and
Richard Pfefferle was granted building
permit to re-shingle his residence and
barn. The monthly reports of the city
officials were read and ordered filed and
the bills that had accumulated since the
last meeting were audited and allowed.
Thursday evening the council had an
adjourned meeting and opened the three
bids that had been received for the laying
of the sewer on First South Street from
Minnesota Street to German Street.
The contract was awarded to Lars Overn
for the sum of $695.00 The other
bidders were Chas. Emmerich with bid
for $785 and William G. Bosworth for
$698.
A tax levy of $4,000 for the ensuing
year was also decided upon. This is the
same amount that was levied last year
and the year before. The levy was made
at the request of the Finance Committee
which recommended that $4,000 be
levied for the street fund, $4,000 for the
interest and sinking fund, $4,000 for the
fire department. and $4,000 for the park
fund, The Park Commission had re-
quested that SO ,275 be allowed them.

NO MORE TROUBLE FOR MODERN
WOODMEN.

1.-THE Chicago rates are repealed, the
man who forced them through has quit
the Woodman, the Head Officers are
fighting the Mobile Law, and if we have
another raise in rates it will apply at
entry age, and we will have referendum
vote on it, and our troubles are over, L
claim" said ]. J.. Sunbeam, who fathered
the successful strike in the M. w. of A.
''We never tried to raise a surplus,
think how low our rates are, and how we
skipped assessments, and still in ten
years our assets have gone up to S15,-
100000! But we were careful about
taking new members, and have the most
choice membership of any insurance
concern, and this is why we come out
of our recent troubles still able to paw all
claims on our low rates, and with nothing
to fear in the future, I said Mr.. Sunbeam.
II say that young men who join our
Order now, with our low rates and big
surplus, get great bargain and there
will never be any raise, but what the {
young men in the M. w. Of "A. will still
have the cheapest soundest insurance
there is, Il added to Woodman Leader.
Mr.. Sunbeam was in this locality
Wednesday comforting with local members
in regard to booming the Order again.
The fate Of the proposed State Order
is doubtful, says Mr.. Sunbeam, since the
Woodman rates were not raised at the !
Head Camp in June, but nothing is being
done to injure the State Order. s'7i
