From Wednesdays DaIry
During a meeting of the executive
committee of the Mankato Historical
Pageant committee held yesterday
afternoon it was definitely decided to
start the pageant which is to be
given July 4 at Sibley park, at three
O'Clock in the afternoon, as it was
considered that this would be the best
time and most convenient to eyerv-
one, especially out of town people
who would arrive ON the morning
and noon trains. The executive COM
mittee met at the First National bank
at one o'clock, and reviewed the var
ious details concerning the pageant,
and found that the reports coming in
on work already being done were very
good, everyone displaying much in
terest and enthusiasm i'll the plans,
and work progressing nicely.
Messrs. w. d. Willard and C. r.
Butler were appointed a sub COM
mittee to meet and consult with the
people who are preparing scenes, and
are now devoting considerable time
to visiting the park with them and
discussing the stage settings and
other matters pertaining to the
scenes which they are to present.

HEARING ON THE DITCH
BROUGHT OUT PROTEST
Farmers and Villagers Opposed
To Draining of Eagle
Lake
From Wednesdays Daily.

From Wednesdays Daily
Many farmers living in the vicinity
of Eagle Lake, together with residents
of the village itself, and others who
were interested gathered in the dis
trict court room this morning to at
itend the hearing on Judicial Ditch No.
is, before Judge w. l.. Comstock.
S. B. Wilson and others filed this
lpetition, asking for the construction
Ioe a ditch to drain the lower part of
Eagle Lake, south of the Great West
|ern right -of-way. The same ditch
would also drain great deal Of the
'neighboring land.
The village of Eagle Lake objects on
the ground that the lake cannot pe
lawfully lowered without first taking
a vote of the residents Of the village
on that question.
All OF the objectors claim that the
court has no jurisdiction to order the
ditch laid.
1t was first proposed to lay tile in
the main ditch through the lake, and
through the outlet, but now another
proposition has been brought forward
and that is to submit two sets of plans
one to put in a tile ditch and the 9th
er to construct an open ditch.
The viewers at two o'clock this aft
ernoon filed a supplementary report
giving an estimate of the cost of the
construction of an open ditch. BY
constructing the open ditch the cost
would be reduced to about half what
it would require for the tile ditch.
Large tile would be required at that
place.

upper or main part of Eagle Lake,
while the lower part is being drained.
The objectors maintain that this is
not practical plan.
The petitioners are S. B. Wilson,
Charles Schwarbel, j. H. Eckhardt,
Anna C. Eckhardt, Millie Eckhardt
and Mrs. Amelia Eckhart- The at
torneys for the petitioners are S. B.

IN ARIZONA

When all the air is clear How brief the twilight here As in the west the pleasant day is dying!
 How soon the shadows fall From rocky height and wall. And quench the sunbems on the desert lying.
 Soon fades tIe sunset gold The lilv-Stars unfold In all the fielG of azure bending OCT us: And every bird that sings In silence fure his wings To take his place, tomorrow in the chorus.
 So soon the Winter goes, Sometimes one hardly knows That gentle spring, herself has been cOmer-
 So faint the note she sounds, So swift the glad earth bounds From winter rest into the arms of Summer
 Almost, as if they shout, The joyous trees fling out Their glossy leaves that in the soft breeze flutter;
 The violet and rose Their petals fair unclose. And other blooms their tender greet ingS utter.
 How soon the ripened peach Smiles down within our reach, And all the fruits, when Summers ebb-tide rises
 So, oftentimes, it seems We realize our dreams In secret ways, and sudden, sharp sur prises.
 We should be happy thus, Since God is good to us, And all things tend to multiply our pleasures
