Charcoal effectually clears and improves

IT absorbs the Injurious gases which
collect in the stomach and bowels; it dis
infects the mouth and throat from the

RAISE THE TRACKS.
DROP THE STREETS
Milwaukee Road Offers to Inn.
prove Two Dangerous
Grade Crossings

The Milwaukee railroad company is
ready to change at once the grade cross
ing at Erie street and Washington ave-
nue. southeast which the old interurban
street railway line passes and to submit
plans later for a change of grade at
franklin and Cedar avenue where the
street car tracks cross half dozen of
the tracks of the railroad company.
Yesterday afternoon there was a meet
ing of special committee of the city
council and others interested in the plan
to abolish grade crossings.
f. w. Root, attorney for the Milwau-
kee road, announced that the company
which he represented was ready to sub
NIT plans to the council for the elimina-
ton OF the grade crossing at Erie street
and Washington avenue southeast These
would provide for depression of the
street and the elevation of the track
The street cars require fourteen feet of
head room and the railway trains need
twenty-five. For this reason it was his
belief that the best results could be OBJ
tanned by the elevation of the railroad
tracks rather than the depressing of the
street car lines rails in order to give
sufficient head room.
He promised the plans for his improve
ment would be submitted to the city
council tomorrow. night and later plans
for the Franklin and Cedar crossing
would be presented.
Rinker for Elevation
City Engineer Rinker spoke in favor of
the plan to lower the streets rather than
the railway tracks and other men made
addresses.
Mayor Jones had some words to say and
he expressed the hope that something
would be done to obliterate the grade
Rev. E. P. Savage, who circulated the
petition for the abolition of grade cross
1ngs, made talk and so did w. G. Nye,
of the Commercial club, and President
Merrill, of the city council.
Northeast Objects
w. l.. Scott, of Northeast Minneapolis,
called halt by demanding that some at
tentlon should be paid to that locality. 1t
had been proposed to make some arrange
ment with the Northern Pacific road to re-
move the grade crossing at Sixteenth ave-
nue. northeast and Central but he pointed
out there were other crossings in that
locality which should be attended to.
The committee listened to the argu-
mentS and then adjourned for two weeks
in order to permit the representatives of
the other railroads to appear and submit
plans for the removal of the most dam
gerouS crossings
The Improvement which the Milwaukee
contemplateS at Erie street will cost at
least $4,000 and the Franklin and Cedar
avenue crossing will cost S100, ,000
Aid Chatfield, chairman of the
committee, says he has communicated
with the officials of all the railway COM
panies entering Minneapolis and expects
to be able to present replies from them
at the next meeting Of the committee.

.FLOUT FIRE STORY
Russian Church Was Not Fired
BY yLiberals


s There is wild story to the effect that
the Russian Catholic church at Seven
teenth avenue northeast and Fifth street
was fired by Russian Liberals who are
sympathizing with the revolutionists in
the fatherland.
The basis of the story is the fact that
the church was erected by the Russian
government and the salary of the priest,
Father Popoff, is paid from the royal
treasury.
The fire occurred, about o'clock In the
afternoon. At l o'clock funeral was
held in the church. There was no fire and
the services were curtaied because of the
extreme cold. A number of candles were
used during the services and they were
placed on the altar and in other parts
of the church.
1t is the opinion of Fire Marshal Ringer
that in their hurry to depart the boys
whose duty it was to extinguish the can
dles overlooked one of them and the
flames set fire to some of the draperies
Although the loss is a severe one, the
congregation is not disheartened for it

course has been chosen. The question of
the number of members of the city council
will also be considered and the member
