AGAINST THE ELEVATED.

VAT Philadelphia is wrestling
w with the problem Of elevating the
railroad tracks within the city the
municipality being willing to pay half of
the cost of the Improvements. there are
( all sorts OF obstacles being thrown across
the path Of the elevated tracks In this
city.
In the nrst place. the Street and Sewer
Department was very hard to satisfy
and the project was delayed for long
time. Then individual property owners
demanded prices that the company
deemed eNofb.tant and condemnation
proceedings had to be resorted to.
But now whom the elevated structure
is being rushed and the people were be-
ginning to look forward to the time when
all should be completed. an injunction is
granted on grounds which promise to
tie mp the project until legislation can
be had. and who knows whether legis-
lators will feel kindly towards the pro-
iectg
4 We have not the slightest disposition to
comment on the courts decision, for
doubtless Il IS based strictly on the law,
but we do regret the results which seem
likely to follow
We are not considering the railroad al
though it has million or two OF dollars
tied up in the work, and this will be use
less until an is -completed; but we have
in mind the great and lasting beneat that
we should derive from elevating these
tracks.
When the authority was given to build
line through this city CT course an
elevated road was not thought Of, and as
grants 10 corporations must be construed
favorable to the State when there is
douot or ambiguity, of course under a
strict construction OF the law no power
but the Legislature can give the ratroac
the right TO elevate it's tracks. But 1t is
a pity that the law operates to prevent
improvements that contemplate gre e4tsi
safety and which are for the benefit o.
the public Indeed. In one sense this con
structicn is not favorable to the STATE
tthat is to the people, but against II.
For il is not a question Of taking the
property of anybody without compensa-
tlon. for a proper commission could as
sess damages, but under the law on'
man. with right Of way to his stables
over railroad can hinder a groat trunk
line over which millions Of passengers
travel annually It is an unpleasant COM
mentary on the breadth of our laws.

NEWSBOYS ENJOY THE -.
UNIQUE'S:: FINE SHOW

Five hundred Journal newsboys last
night attended the, performances at the
Unique theater by Invitation of Man
ager Matt Gallagher They had a fine
old time, but it was noticeable that
their behavior was more sedate than
is usual upon occasions of this nature.
They managed to reach their seats by
way of the aisles instead Of climbing
over the backs of the chairs, and actu-
ally gave expression to their delight
by cIapping their hands instead OF
whistling and stamping their feet.
1t was apparent, too, that love for
the artistic is beginning to develop.
Altho frankie Grace, the bantam CO.
median, aroused their keenest admira-
ton, yet Miss Cole Frances Bower, in
classical songs, won hearty applause.
She seemed. almost to divide honors
with Miss Fowler, the accomplished
strong woman, who can hold a man
above her head with one hand and not
half try. Lyle La Pine, even if he is
a boy barytone, did not more complete
ly capture their juvenile fancy.
The burlesque boxing bout of the
Savoys, Jansen's clever legerdemain
and illusions, Conkey's club swinging
and the moving pictures were all fea.
lures that the boys enjoyed, so it made
altogether a gala night for the little
street merchants, while the adult por-
tion of the audiences took great interest
in their pleasure. .

AN ISLAND HOME CLUB
MINNEAPOLIS BUSINESS MEN
= WILL ORGANIZE AND TAKE
PROPERTY AT COMFY, ISLAND.

A number of Minneapolis business
men, members of the Commercial club,
are planning to establish a summer club
and home on Coney Island, Clear Lake,
Waconia. They have taken an option
on the property known as "Zeiglien s.
consisting Of seven acres of land, with
cottages, pavilion, rowboats and steam
launch.
It is proposed to organize a corpora
ticn, with membership limited to 100,
end to hold the club grounds exclusive
ly. for the use Of members, as a place
where comfort and pleasure can be OBJ
tanned at a reasonable expense. The
articles of incorporation will provide
that membership cannot be transferred.
except upon the approval of the board
of directors. Officials Of the Minneap-
oils & st. Louis railway have given
assurance. that low rates will be made to
club members and their families, in case
the club is established.
The list of the first 100 members is
being completed, and the probabilities
are that the option will be closed by
March 25, after which a considerable
sum will be expended in repairs and i'm.
provements to the grounds and build:
ings. The corporation will be named
the Island Home club, and it is expected
that the following will act as the first

COWLES IS AFTER
OPSAHL'S CASH
"CYCLONE CANDIDATE'' SUES
FOR HEAVY DAMAGES.
Alleges that the Photographer Resorted
to Physical Culture Measures to DOL
lect a Bill for Photographs and in So
Doing ''Landed on His Mouth with
His Fish,

w. H. .Cowles, the self-nominated
"Cyclone candidate for mayor Of Min
neapolis,' has sued A. Ii. Opsahl, the
photographer, for $4,000 damages.
Trouble arose over the nonpayment
of a bill for photographs incurred in
the strenuous campaign Cowles waged
before the primaries last summer. Fill
ing to collect the SO due him and beng
unable to express his contempt in
words, it. is alleged that the photog-
rapher resorted to violence.
AS a result of an encounter the plain
tiff claims that he, was !"laid up','. at
home for over a week; that he. has
suffered the loss of the senses of taste
and smell on the injured side Of his
face and that this loss is Of SPECIAL
Importance to him owing. to- his al
ready impaired hearing. .
The plaintiff says he admitted his debt
and intended to pay as soon as he had
accumulated the money. The defend
ant is said to have placed the bill in
the hands Of a collector. When this
failed to bring results, the plaintiff
claims Mr.. Opsahl openly threatened
to "smash" the plaintiff every, time
he saw him until the money was forth
coming.
Living up to this threat, it is claimed.
the former m~ayoralty candidate was
several times attacked by the photo
grapher, but no real damage was done
until Feb. 20, when the defendant was
invited into a store on Sixth street. On
the way out, the plaintiff alleges, Mr.
Opsahl smashed the door against his
head, 'slanded on his mouth with his
fist, - and CANNED his finger
An answer has not been filed, but
Mr.; Opsahl's side Of the story may
prove equally diverting. If the case
ever COMES to trial, it will undoubtedly
attract wide interest.
