WATER BOARDS
PLAN APPROVED.
INTEREST ON BONDS TO BE PAID
FROM WATER FUNDS.
Sodini Found to Be Connected with Lat
est Application for Columbia License
Clarke Ordinance Amended for the
Benefit Of Law Abiding saloonkeep-
ers- Ordinance for Fiscal Reform.

$1,0O0,O00 bond issue for the installa-
tion Of fltering plant for Minneapolis,
the interest will be paid out of the an
nual surplus of the water department.
bers Of the water board in T h e J o u r:
nal yesterday, and Alderman Holmes
resolution making it effective, was
passed at the council meeting last night
with but two dissenting votes. Alder
men Duryea and Cashier opposed it, de-
claring that it was simply throwing
dust in the eyes Of taxpayers, making
them think the cost of the filter is being
reduced. #.@
"The people will pay for the bonds
the interest by direct taxation,' said
Alderman Duryea. The plan, however,
looked good to the twenty other alder
men present. ~. ....
The ordinance granting the Great
Northern permission to build a spur
track for switching in the alley between
Washington avenue N and Third street
and from Fourth avenue to Tenth ave-
nue. was passed unanimously. This
track was demanded by the business
men of North Minneapolis.
Sodini in It After All.
Emma D. McCarthy's application
for license to conduct a theater in
the old Columbia theater building
at 208 Washington avenue S was read
and new phase was put on the situa-
ton by the statement that the applicant
is sister-in-law of j. G. Sodini, the
former proprietor of the notorious place.
The real connection between Mrs. Nc
earthly and Sodini, however, was ex-
planned by Frank Nance, her attorney,
who says that Mrs. Sodini is suing for
divorce and that her sister desires to ,on-
duct this theater SO that she may get
her alimony. The matter was referred
back to the license committee for fur
Their investigation.
In response to City Attorney Healey's
request that all obsolete ordinances be
repealed, Alderman Rand asked the
council to repeal an ordinance passed in
June, 1883, regulating the traffic on the
suspension bridge. The city attorney is
working on a codifcation Of the charter
and ordinances and wants all useless
laws out Of the way.
nance intended to bring the present
system Of paying out money up to date.
1t requires that bills must be certified
in the manner required by the county
commissioners. The payrolls and bud
gets must be signed and approved by
the heads of the departments. Actual
signatures must be used and rubber
stamps are tabooed.

Clarke Ordinance Amended.

Upon the recommendation of the Ii
cense committee the Clarke ordinance
was amended so as to make it easier for
the. saloonkeeper who voluntarily sur
renders his license. Formerly he was
to give thirty days. notice,
and to show certificates from the clerks
of district and municipal courts that no
had been pending for thir-
ty days. The amendment now provides
that If the saloonkeper can show the re-
auired certificates he may surrender his
license and get his refund Immediately.

THE CAR AND HIS SUBJECTS.

1t would not be at all surprising If,
in the near future, Russia is forced 80
make terms with Japan in order that
she may be in a pOsitiOnto maintain
order at home. There is every indi-
cation that there is the utmost ten
sion and disquiet existing among she
plain people, and that this condition
exists even among those to whom
the Car must look to keep bis dis
gruntled subjects IN order.
The incident, which happily did
not prove as disastrous as II was
undoubtedly intended toprove, which
occurred at the festival OF the Epiph-
any clearly demonstrates this fact
Ii is impossible of belief, even OF the
most credulous persons, thas shell,
loaded with shrapnel, was accidental
ly discharged by the gunner who fired
the salute on this occasion, or that
the gun was accidentally aimed In
the direction OF the pavilion occupied
by she Car and other members OF
the royal family. There has been an
effort to explain the affair as an acct
dent, but there are too many suspi-
cious circumstances in connection
with it TO render this explanation
creditable, and the incident goes TO
show, as has long been suspected,
that there are more dangerous enc
mics to Russia within the confines OF
her European possessions than there
are without.
Nothing more, however, could be
expected when it is remembered that
the plain people OF the Empire have
always been driven like brutes TO do
the bidding of an autOcratic SOW
ereign. 1t is a wonder, indeed, that
there can he found among her sold
iery men with sufficient loyalty and
patriotism TO fight the stubborn
battles and undergo the personal
privation and suffering that the
Cars troops have fought and been
subjected to in the Far East.
