G. BRAIN, Insurnnco Commissioner. By 3r. Y. SInrbnck, local Agent, let Contract for Bridge. The contract for tho new brldgo across tho river cast of town was awarded Friday evening to tho Omaha Structural Steel Co. for $36,000. This Is for tho structure and fills complete, Tho brldgo will havo a twenty foot roadway, and tho 800-foot Jills on either sldo will havo a cement filling, thus Insuring solid and permanent approaches. This cement roadway, however, Is not part of tho contract price, but will bo built out of the res idue of tho $50,000 bonds voted. Thero wcro a numbor of bids filed, tho majority of them for a concrete arch bridge, but in all Instances ex cept one tho bids wcro not within tho $60,000. Whllo tho commissioners considered tlio concrete bids and would probably favored tho allowance of a contract for that stylo bridge bad it not been posslblo to do so, tho stato engineer, wo are Informed, stated that, ho would not sign a contract for any structuro other than steel. Ho seems to bo opposed to concrete bridges. Tho successful bidders announco that they will havo tho brldgo com pleted before cold weather sets In this fall. Echclbcrry Improving.

If you listen to two men discussing eastern races tho Chlncso In partlcu lar you will Invariably hoar thorn re mark with that weighty tono of final ity in which people nro wont to deliver their obiter dlctn: "Tho Chlnnmnn Is nn cnlgmn, nn insoluble my story; be hind his impenetrable mask thero lurks wo know not what curious variant of tlio human race."
