Library Appropriation Laid Over for Future Action. Nagel & Co. to lay Sample Section of Cement Street Crossing. Among the more important transac tions of the city council at its adjourned meeting Saturday evening was the ac ceptance of a proposition from F. Nagel 6 Co. to put do\»n a sample cement streetcrossmg a German a First North streets without cost to the city. Permission was also granted to the Hauenstem Brewing company to con struct a wall on the sidewalk line ot 16th S. street opposite the brewery, said wall being necessary in the extensive im provements now being made at that place. The petition of Dr, O. C, Strickler and others for thfe appropriation of $300 foi the public library was piesented and a motion to reject the same was lost. The result of this disposition being to leave the proposition still befoie the council to be definitely acted upon at the next meeting when it is hoped that the new membeis of the rouncii may re ceive sufficient enlightment upon the matter to insuie the granting of the petition. Building permits weie granted to F. H. Retzlaff, Franz Hogen and H.

The committee on streets, by its chair man, Nagel, presented an ordinance amending ordinance number 20, prchib ltmg the constiuction of wooden aide walks certain streets, which was adopted by a unanimous vote. Bills amounting to $205 93 were al lowed and the council adjourned to April 23 at the usual hour. Lutheran School Teachers Convene. The conference of Geiman Lutheran parochial school teacheis wa« in session here Wednesday, Thursday and until noon to day, says the Sleepy Eye Her aid of last Friday. The session has been one of more than usual interest and has biought out a great many valuable points. Its object like conventions of similar nature is to derive benefit from the exchange of opinion The attend ance was good, repiesentatives being present from all the principle schools in this section of the state. This meeting was intended to be held at Good Thun der but owing to the prevalence of small pox it was sent here. Sleepy Eye wel comes all snch gatherings, especially those of this nature. The work of the conference commenc ed Wednesday when it was called to or der and opened with prayer by tLe pres ident, M. Kirsch of Faribault. After the preliminary business was transacted the election of officeis took and lesulted as follows President, M. Kirsch, Faribault Vice president, G. Laggarts, Mankato, secre tary, H. Schroer, Gibbon. A number of interesting papeis were read followed by discussions that brought out their good and bad points. "How to Check irregular Attendance of Scholars," was the subject of a paper by Prof. O. Montgomerv of New Ulm. "Characters and its Development by Education" by Prof. Laggartz. On Thursday Prof. J. W. Jaeger of Sleepy Eye with several others gave some practical lessons in County gov. ernment, etc. This was one of the most interesting features and was a thorough ly practical demonstration, in the eve ning the body attended Divine service at St. Johns church, Rev. Aug. F. Zich officiating. The total number of teachers present was 45, New Ulm being represented by Prof. Otto Montgomery and Messrs. W. Blauert and W. Muessing. *L. J.

Stockyards Sunday Night. Evidently a Case of Incendiarism and for the Fifth Time. Sunday night a fifth attempt was made to bum the & N. W. stock yards. An alarm was turneH in at about 1 "30 o'clock which was promptly re sponded to by the fire department and the blaze was extinguished before it had an opportunity to spread, the scale house being the only portion of the plant des troyed. While the loas to the company will probably not exceed $100 the pnn ciple involved is as important and broad as though the property destroyed had been valued at thousands. There is no excuse foi the firebug at any time or under any circumstances. The safety of piivate property is involved, and while the residents of that locality adjacent to the stockyards may oi may not have a just grievance there can be no possible palliation of the offense. That the ori gin of the fire was incendiary there is no room for doubt and if the perpetrator shall be discovered he will be dealt with to the limit of the law. The Review has made considerable inquiry in relation to the affair and is satisfied that theie is veiy little to be urged in extenuation of the act. Some years ago it was charged that the loca tion of the yards at this particular point contaminated the water supply of the of the city, but we are informed by the agent of the company that when this complaint was brought to their notice the yards were at once raised two feet above t^e street level and a system of sewers put in which entirely obviated the difficulty complained of. It is claimed, however, by the residents of the locality that stock, and especially hogs, Jare kept confined in the pens foi days at a time, far beyond the limit fixed by law, and that in consequence filth accumulates and in spite of any and all efforts on the part of the rail way company becomes extremely obnox ious. Wnether this be th" fact or not really cuts no figuie in the present in stance. The unassailable propos'tion is that no one has the right to destroy pro perty and to endanger adjacent property in an attempt to right either a real or fancied wrong. We are assured by the railroad company that every available means are used to keep the yards in a clean and sanitary condition and we have yet to learn that any complaint has, this season at least, been made to the health officer that this has not been done. The scale house will be at once rebuilt and the yards put in shape for the reception stock as usual. Climate and Crop Bulletin for the week ending April 15, 1901 Except in the southeast early in the week, cloudy weather prevailed, and thewwere light rains on the llt and 12th, which, while hardly sufficient of themselves to delay work, prevented the soil drying, especially on low and heavy lands. There were frosts or freezing temperatuies in the moimugs early in the week. In the Red River valley har rowing and wheat seeding has been £0 mg on in the light soils, and in northern and eastern Kittson county wheat seed ing is well advanced, but the heavy soils and low places aie still very wet. In southeastern counties the soil is dry ing very slowly, and the ground is so wet that very httle seeding has been done, though plowing is going on. In that portion of the state extending from the Minnesota river northeastward to the Mississippi, and southwestward from the Minnesota nearly to the Iowa and South Dakota lines the soil is in excel lent condition, and the seeding of wheat is nearing completion on many farms, and oat seeding is going on, while barley seeding has been started in this section the early sown wheat is sprouting nicely. A few potatoes have been planted in Douglas and Brown counties. Clover, winter rys, winter wheat and the fruits seem to have wintered well. Grass has begun to show a little life, bat warmer weather is necessary to make it grow luxuriantly enough to furnish grazing. Oregon, Washington and Idaho is the title of a booklet descriptive of these states, a copy of which, with a new map of the Columbia River region, will be mailed on receipt of six cents in postage by W.

The Chicago Record-Herald has been making some inquiry into the effect of vaccination as a preventative of small pox, and finds that in the recent epi demic in that city it was entnely in fa vor of vaccination. The summary of its findings is as follows Out of the total 171 cases of small-pox found in Chicago between Nov. 30,1900, and April 10,1901—the period of the present epidemic—140 had never bten vaccinated. Of the remaining 31 casesj 29 were adults showing faint, poor or irregular scars, claimed to be evidence of attempted vaccination in infancy or early childhood—the most recent being twenty-three years old. Only 2 out of the 171 cases exhibited typical scars of successful vaccination. Of these I was thirty-five years old—"vaccinated wfcen a child," revaccination attempted three years ago, without result, vaccine lymph probably inert. The other was forty years old, also successfully vaccinated in childhood but never revaccinated. These are the only two cases out of the total 171 upon whom vaccination was ever successfully attempted, and the most recent of these was more than thir ty years a«o. Additional locate. A child of Mr. and Mrs. John Khng ler, of West Newton, died last Friday and was buried Saturday. *Have your carpets cleaned at L. J. Buenger's, Positively does not injure the fapnc and does the work" effectually. Carpets called for and delivered. Undertaker Buenger was called to Brighton Monday to take charge of the burial of Mrs. Margaret Nelson who died at her home there last Friday. De ceased was 85 years of age aud the cause of her death was old age. The funeral was held Monday and the re mains weie buried in the Norwegian cemetery at Brighton. The program of the concert to be giv en by the Second Regiment Band at the opera house Saturday evening is a varied one and comprises not only the latest music in brass and stiing but is also en livened by comedy work and vocal se lections of the highest grade. You will miss it if you do not attend. Next Monday morning there will be an art exhibit opened at the high school building consisting of an elaborate dis play of statuary, pictures, etc by the Pay Art Co., of Sioux Falls, S. D. This exhibition has been given at Mankato with marked success and will be seen at St. Peter on Saturd-y of this week. An admission of 10 cents will be charged and the proceeds will be devoted to the purchase of pictures for the school. The Retail Liquor Dealers Association of this city held its annual outing at St. George Monday, leaving here at 9 30 accompanied by a band and a large number of friends outside the associa tion. The festivities at St. George were of a varied nature and everyone who at tended certainly enjoyed themselves. No business was transacted, the meeting be ing solely for pleasure, although several speeches were made by members of the association for which they were very properly fined. An exhibition fire drill was given by the St. George fire depart ment and several amusing athletic con tests werp pulled off. It was, taken al together, a fine, large day and the high ball dispensers and their friends who were so foitunate as to be of the party had a good time. While the legislature made a good record in declining to raid the state treasury for the reporters on the daily papers for a lump of $150 each, it was not as careful concerning its own em ployes, and they were voted additional sums ranging from $50 to $150 each, the total amounting to some $4,000. This money did not belong to the mem bers and was not theirs to give away as they saw fit. The various employes all enjoyed good salaries during the winter, considerably larger than the most of them could earn in private lines, and they were eager to get the places at the salary attached with no thought of a substantial gift at the close. The la bors of the said employes ace not oner ous, so there is no excuse ia thit quar ter. The scheme of so giving is a per nicious one, and is just as bad and un worthy as would have been a move on the part of the members to have voted themselves an extra hundred dollars or so.—Mankato Free Press. *Gret your bicycles enameled with Banking Enamel so they look as good as new.
