to the roof although there is a great deal
of carving, polishing and finishing to be
put on the exterior that will be added

The outward appearance of the walls is
all marble, though some of the slabs are
only four inches thick, while others are
great blocks, four feet or more in thick
ness. All the walls are backed with
brick. st. Cloud granite has been used

will be incased In marble.
The dome and roof will require a large
quantity Of granite and whole season

MINNEAPOLIS LAW HOLDS
WATER
THAT LICENSING SALOONS

First Case Under the New Law That
Allows a Man to Bring an Action
for Damages Against Number
of Railway Companies Fails
Condition of Car Overlooked In
the Complaint.
The supreme court, in decision written
by Chief Justice Start yesterday, sustain
ed the constitutionality of the Minneap-
oils charter, as it has to do with the sale
Of intoxicating liquors. The court holds
that the law regulating the sale Of intoxi-
eating liquors passed by the legislature
Of 1887 does not affect the Minneapolis
ordinance licensing saloonkeepers. The
decision Is of Importance, as it applies to
other large cities operating under a char
ter which prescribes, through ordinance, a
license for the sale of liquor. The sylla-
bus is as follows:
State of Minnesota, respondent, We. John
L1ndQuiSt appellant.
Syllabus-The charter provisions of the
city of Minneapolis authorizing it's city
council to license and regulate the sale
OF intoxicating liquors within its limits
and the ordinance pursuant to such all
thority were not repealed by laws, 1887,
chapter 6, regulating the sale of intoxi-
eating liquors. Judgment affirmed.

OVERLOOKED A POINT.
An interesting case in which the SUI
is where man sues a number of railway
companies for injury in a car that travel
ed over several lines Of road. a law
was recently passed by the legislature
providing that where injuries resulted on
rolling stock that was run over more
than one line Of road suit could be brought
against each line interested. The party
in the action, decided yesterday, failed
to allege. or prove that the car was
faulty when it left the starting point
ana therefore the court directs a verdict
for the defendants. The syllabus is as
| follows:
Toilet Olson, respondent, VS.. Pennsylva-
ma 9aad q ohi 4,i Fuel Fuel company ct al, de-
way company, appellant.
