and say that the railroad competition
is destroying the business, but this Is
not fact The river passenger business
is picking up from year to year, and
this year will be heavier than ever be-
fore. Rates for freight will be about 30
per cent lower than the rates by rail,
and the time made will be so near that
of the river railroad lines, that the diff
ference will not amount to much.
'Of course, the rail competition cuts
in on our business, but river facilities
for handling fast freight are being i'm
proved, and BUSINESS Is picking up. Low
water is our worst competitor, as 1T often
interferes seriously, especially between
st. Paul and st. Louis. The passenger
business gives prospect of being heavier
than ever before, and the constantly In
creasing popularity of the st. Paul-St
Louis and ST. Paul-NeW Orleans trips by
beat indicates condition which argues
well for the upper river lines.
I'VE are making a new venture this
year which is bound to become popular,
in offering special rates during thu
month of June. We will name a fare
of $40 to st. Louis and return, for the
benefit of those going to the conventions
to be held in that city in June, and this
rate will include berths and meals,
which makes it very low, indeed.
THE Elks annual convention will draw
a heavy business, and st. Paul mem

cial courtesies. All our boats have been

The music lovers of ST. Paul will soon
nave an opportunity to hear one of the
noted ballad singers of Norway, as ar
rangements have been made by Harry
Randall, who will be remembered as the
secretary and manager of the monster
Scandinavian singers concert given some
years ago In the Twin Cities for the ap-
pearance of Miss Bokken Lassen, of
Christiania, Norway, at the Conover-
now the Raudenbush hall. Miss Lassen
Is the youngest sister of the well known
composer, Per LaSsen. Her success in
her own country as a singer of the sweet
ballads and folk songs has been remark
able. A short time ago she appeared in
New York and many of the other large
cities of the East, and those who have
heard her are enthusiastic In their
praises. She will appear at the Rauden-

the club house on the south shore of Lake

merriment by digging up a tall flag staff
and setting it deeper into the earth. There

While not finally deciding the case,
Judge Jaggard yesterday intimated dur
ing the hearing of the application of the
board of workhouse commissioners for
a writ of injunction to restrain the park
commissioners from taking possession
of portion of Como park occupied as
workhouse property. that the writ would
be denied. The right of one city board
to institute proceedings against another
municipal board was raised during the
proceedings and the court inclined to the
opinion that such a step could not le-
gally be taken
The contention between the park board
and the worlhouse directors arises over
forty acres of land at Lake Como. The
park board claims the land as part of
Como park, while the workhouse COM
missioners claim that the land was set
aside for workhouse purposes some years
ago, and consequently belongs to the in
stitution. When, after much discussion,
the two boards could not get together
on the question, the park board, desiring
to improve Como park, went ahead
bitrarily and planted trees on the land
IN dispute. This resulted in an applica-
tion for an injunction on the part of the
workhcuse commissioners.
In special term before Judge Jasgard
yesterday the question was presented AS
sistant Corporation Attorney Carl Tay-
lor appeared for the park board, while
Attorney Chaplin appeared Tor the work.
house board.
1t was argued by Mr.. Taylor that the
Workhouse board had no standing in court
because 1t was not Incorporated, and fur
thermOre, objection to the injunction be-
ing granted was urged upon the ground
that one board could not sue another
board OF the city government. The fact
that the common council had In 1881
granted the workhouse board the land In
dispute, 1t was claimed, was OF no legal
force, as this course was claimed to be
illegal. The ground urged il support of
this claim was that the land embraced
by Como park, including the tract In dis
pute, had been authorized Tor park pur-
poses by an act of the legislature In 1873.
and consequently 1t was claimed the
council had no right to grant il to the
workhouse board.
To this latter objection the workhouse
board urged in argument that fte legis-
lature had authorized the city to pur-
chase site and 10 erect a workhouse.
While in 1881 the council had authorized
the setting apart of forty acres of Como
park for this purpose and directed the
issuance of $4,000 worth OF bonds. the
proceeds of which were expended In it's
erection. The further claim was made
that in 1883 the legislature authorized the
issuance of $4,000 worth of additional
bonds to enlarge the workhouse, and that
this act was ratification of the action of
the council in setting aside the land.
The case was taken under Amusement.

NO OPINION YET.
Water Board Still Waiting to Hear
From Mr.. Markham,


From Mr.. Markham.
The water board,at an adjourned meet
Ing yesterday, discussed the report Of
City Engineer Rundlett as to the con-
demnation of lands around the shores of
Peltier and Centerville lakes. 1t is the
intention of the board to build a dam at
the outlet Of Centerville lake, and make
impounding reservoirs out of the two
lakes. In order to do this, and keep the
shores from being occupied by stables
and stock farms it will be necessary to
condemn about $50 acres of land No
action was taken, the matter being laid
over until the next meeting ON Friday,
at which time bids for building an an
mex to the Office will be opened.
Supt. Starkey submitted a report stat
ing that there was no foundation to the
report that tons of dead fish, were
lying on the shores of Round and Cen
terville lakes. He had caused an in
vestigation to be made, and ascertained
that about fifty fish were on the north
shore of the lake, and these had been
removed. The pay roll for April,
amounting to 1928, was approved.
The expected opinion from the legal de-
partment, relative to the constitutions
ality of the recent water frontage tax
law. did not reach the board. Inquiry
at the Office of the corporation attorney
brought out the statement that the force
had been so busy that the opinion had
not been reached in the regular course
of business.

CUTS LITTLE FIGURE
Whether McNafr Was Ineligible tn

whether McNatr Was Ineligible to
Serve on the Grand Jury.
On the ground of the ineligibility of
some of the members of the last grand
jury some question has been raised as
10 the legality of the body's acts. Coun-
" Attorney Bigelow says, however, that
the claim is of small consequence.
Inc grand jurymen alleged not to have
peen eligible to serve on the grand jury
are SchooI inspector McNair and Justice
OF the Peace Schmidt OF the latter
county Attorney Bigelow says that Mr..
Schmidt is, in his opinion, a state and
not city or county officer, consequently
was entirely qualified to serve AS to Mr.
McNa1r the law In the case specifically
states that no member of the board Of
education shall serve on the grand iurv
But in 1881 the board of education was
abolished and the board of school inspec
tors established instead. This fact is ar
gued by some to remove any ineIigibilIty
on McNatr's part, but on the other hand
II is claimed that the intent of the law
was to prevent members of any bodies
that the grand jury might be called upon
TO investigate from serving on the grand
jury, and would be so construed bv the
courts, consequently, it is urged Mr. Ne
Nair's participation in the sessions of the
grand jury nullifies it's acts
NCA II MI IhcNdir was ineligible for
grand jury duty, County Attorney Bige-
low says, little embarrassment will result
he says all prisoners indicted by the
jury who have been sentenced forfeit
their rights to consideration, and that all
persons indicted who have pleaded to
the charge against them are likewise
without recourse, regardless of what Mr..
McNair's status may be determined to
have been. In fact, according to the
county attorney, if it should be decided
Mr.. McNair was ineligible to serve On
the grand jury, there are only two cases
where indictments were returned that
would be effected. In these cases. Mr..
Bigelow says, If the indictments were dis

The court finds that the proceedings to

clerk of courts failed to enter on the tax
judgment books, opposite the description,

ECHO OF AN ASSESSMENT
BY the Germania Rank Against the

By the Germania Bank Against the
City.
The summons and complaint in an ac-
ton brought by the Germania bank
against the city of st. Paul was served
on the corporation attorney yesterday.
: The bank sues to recover $5.270, with in
terest at per cent from Aug. l, 1892, on
city assessment certificates which were
purchased at a sale made by the city
treasurer in that year. The city in 1891
ordered the opening, widening and grad
ing of East Third street, from Earl street
to the eastern city limits, distance of
two and half miles, The improvement
was started and after being about one
third completed was abandoned. In the
meantime an assessment was levied and
considerable number of the property
owners paid. Against the ones who did
not pay Judgment was taken and II sale
followed The matter was then taken
into the courts, and some of those who
paid secured a return of the assessment
on the ground that as the Improvement
was not made there could be no benefits.
The bank, as holder of some of the
certificates issued, asks to be reimbursed
to the amount stated.

Ben Tubesing Says All the Boys Are
Tired of 1t.
Ben Tubesing arrived In Red Wing
last week from San Francisco. Mr.. Tu-
besing has been private in Company
G, Thirteenth Minnesota regiment, and
received an honorable discharge on ac-
count of illness.
He left Manila on March II, and arriv-
ed in San Francisco on April 7. From
the time he left Manila until arriving in
Minnesota he has gained in weight over
forty five pounds, and now appears to
be as strong and healthy as ever. Mr..
Tubesing was suffering from dropsy, and
he expresses the opinion that If he had
remained In the Philippines four or five
weeks longer he would have succumbed
Speaking about Manila he said:
''The only actual battle that our boys
had been participants in at the time I
left was on last Aug. 13, although l sup
pose they are seeing active service now,
as they are on the firing line. The boys
were real anxious to see active service,
and often they would steal out and join
some other regiment.
Doing provost guard duty is terror
The natives are low and dirty class OF
people and have no moral sense what
ever In stature they are very small.
We were glad to be relieved of acting as
police at Manila.
Eyes, I saw Aguinaldo. I met him In
the city of Manila and spoke to him.
He speaks a little of the English Ian
guage. but most Spanish. Everybody
in the Philippines speaks the Spanish Ian
guage The boys are all learning to
speak it. In fact, when they come home
YOU will hear nothing but Spanish. They
speak it right along in camp. Aguinaldo
is a man about twenty-eight years old.
He is small In stature. He seems to be
quite Intelligent.
1.-The rebels are a mean class OF people.
While we We're going down to the boat
O. number of shots were fired at us. They
use smokeless powder, and, of course,
we could not tell where the men were.
The American soldiers have now receiv-
ed consignment of rifles and smokeless
powder
''The boys receive good food. They
get fresh meat six times every ten days,
rice, etc The meat is sent from Aus
tralia. The boys are all anxious to get
home, and not one will stay any longer
than he has to. 1 have had enough OF

to go back.
