Naturally the streets OF that section,
which is also the shopping district, are
constantly filled with trucks and heavy
wagons making their way through
them. The subway runs under almost
every street in this district. Many of
the business houses have connected
their buildings with the new way and

of them perfectly clear of packages. No
coal will be unloaded in the streets, and
ashes will be removed from the build
ings through the subterranean outlet.
The subway cars are small and nu-
merous- They are a little over ten feet
in length and are capable of carrying
fifteen tons each They may be lifted
to the side of the terminal freight cars
by means of elevators. In connection
with the subway there will be conduct
ed large storage business. Heretofore
merchants have frequently found it in
expedient to buy in large quantities,

One reason why the construction of
the Chicago subway has been under
way for several years without exciting
the suspicion of the city official force
and a majority of the inhabitants is to
be found in the fact that the great en-

that adequate provision for religious

The prominence accorded to the mat

privileges for the army is due to the
fact that Russian soldiers are more de-

soldiers of any other Christian power.
Startling as that statement may seem
at drst thought, it is a we'll known
truth that the Russian recruit, litter
ate and unreasoning as he is, rates his
religion as his most valued possession.
He insists on that estimate even though
he may not be the owner Of a single

liberty he has ever known; not, indeed,
that it insures him any freedom of
thought or person, but it is the only
thing which cannot be taken from him.
His government may Oppress him and
fail to provide for his creature com

Minneapolis has at least ono honest
man. That IL the opinion Of Deputy
Sheriff ]. G. Freese, who : short time
ago lost his pocket book containing
money and valuable papers in that
city and last Saturday recovered the
same thru the honesty Of . Scandinav-
ian resident there Who gave his name
as Hjalmar Peterson.
The pocket book contained cash to
the amount of 500 and number OF
valuable papers. It vas picked mp by.
wr. Peterson shortly after Mr.. Freese
bad dropped It, being found on Wash
ington avenue, between Nicollee and
First avenue south. The finder kept
it for . few days and watched the col.
umns Of the papers in the hope that an
advertisement for the lost property
would be inserted. He finally decided
to insert one himself and Willmar
friend of Mr.: Freese noticing the ssad''
in the Journal at once notified him.
Mr.: Freese telephoned the party and
on Saturday morning left for the city
to identify his property. He was re-
warded by finding the pocket book and
all its contents safe in the hands Of tho
finder, who was naturally remembered
with q liberal amount in turn for his
honesty. Peterson is stationary
engineer employed in the Deerine
building on Second avenue and Fourth
street. ~.
