.RECONSTRUCTING THF
 LOWER METROPOLIS
Giant Sky SCrapers to Change Sky
 Line--Other New York Gossip.

New York. Aug. 2S.-tSpeciaI Core . spondence of The Republican, Lower ] New York is being reconstructed again ! on a loftier scale than ever and soon a new generation of skyscrapers will dwarf the older ones. In the limited
 area south of Fulton street. and prin- i cipally in the financial district. no less ! than fifteen new skyscrapers are being ! erected at a total cost of S4O.OOO. OOO 1 The aggregate amount of rentabe of | ice space which they will provide is l 2 250O00O,OOO square feet. The buildings are from twenty to thirty stories in 1 height, the average being twenty three stories. They will add to New Yorks l downtown business population from i l5.OOO to SO,00O persons. Among the new skyscraper a variation of the ac- 1 cepted type makes it's appearance. This 1 IS the building with tower. The Sin ger building with its forty tower 594 feet will be an example of this and ] the Metropolitan Life building will soon start its new addition on the site l of pr. Parkhurst's old church with a tower almost as high. Most peculiar ! of the new skyscTapers is that which will contain the Hudson companies un- ] dergrOund tunnel terminal which will ] be two blocks long. Over this terminal will be built twin office buildings to i cost $10,000.000. The tunnel railway. which will run under the Hudson to New ! Jersey, will have a capacity of 19.2OO i passengers an hour each way and the offices over the terminal will contain a | day population equal to that of d good sized town.
 Each modern skyscraper is indeed now a city in itself It contains a bar Der, bOotblack. haberdasherv store. manicure. restaurant. bathing estab- Iishment. gymnasium. flower fruit and candy shops. apothecary, doctor and dentist. In fact there is everything a city ought to have except sleeping quarters. An night and on Sundays and holidays the proprietors of these establishments vanish On ordinary days they do a rushing business Re gently the Park Row building. one of the largest office structures. kept tabs
 on the number of persons using it's elevators on an ordinary business day
 The number was found to be more
 than 6O,OOO
 The queerest race in the world is
 now going On in New York Already
 it has occupied several months and is
 likely to consume as many more. The
 contest IS going on under the bed of
 the East river, and the firm of Amer
 ican engineers constructing the tunnel
 to connect Long Island City with the
 subway in Manhattan. The two enter
 prises started from points only half q
 mile apart along the river front and
 the big tubes are being pushed steadily
 from both sides of the river through
 mud and quicksand and solid granite
 When the Englishmen started the
 Long Island City end of their tunnel
 they were astonished to find themselves
 over twenty feet below the ground sur
 face, boring through a soil composed

WILL DUST THE JUDGES.
District Jurists Will Be legisIated
Out'of Office BY Code.
From Thursdays Daily.

FROM THURSDAY s Daiy.
There will not be district Judge in
Minnesota when the new code goes into
effect. Every one of them will be leg
islated out of Office" tA
This remark was made by st. Paul
attorney, Harris Richardson, at tim
Der trespass hearing recently held in the
district court at Brainerd, and the state
legal department is puzzled as to the
truth of the statement, says The st.
Paul Dispatch. "'E ~"
The hearing was on demurrer to the
complaint alleging the timber trespass
law to be unconstitutional, and the state
ment was freely bruited that things
would be different when the new code
went into effect.
The particular part of the code that
will do this was not pointed out, and
Assistant Attorney General Jelly, who
represented the state. was not able to
get from the other side anything that
would establish their future course OF
action. But that there is something do
ing, and that it may have demoralH-
ing effect on the suit now pending, is not
denied.

World Famed Plainsman 10 Close TO
Breakdown.

Omaha, Feb. 22.-Pressed down by
hard work, business perplexities, sick
ness and death in his family and do
nestle troubles and unhappiness, Buff
falo Bill, famous old plainsman and
Snowman, is threatened with a complete
breakdown. He now fully realizes that
if he would live and enjoy a fair de-
gree of health, physical and mental, he
must make radical change in his way
of living.
Accordingly he has made up his mind
to quit the show business at the end of
the current year, return to his own
country from Europe, settle down in
Wyoming, and take the world easier
than he has been wont to take it.
The death of his eldest and favorite
daughter two or three years ago nearly
broke Colonel Cody's heart That was
really the beginning of his troubles, ply
steal and mental.
Some of his earnest friends have gone
Jack on him because of his effort to get
divorce. Practically all the men whose
respect and friendship he valnes have
condemned him sharply for applying for
separation, and have expressed sym
pathy with Mrs. Cody, whom they re-
gard as an eccentric woman but faith
full wife.
In addition to this Colonel Cody has
met with many unpleasant experiences
with the Wild West show abroad. A
man who has been in the show business
with Colonel Cody ever since he engaged
in it. and who knows all its secrets,
said lust before the colonel sailed for
France to rejoin the show a few days
ago:
Colonel Cody has enough on his mind
to drive a dozen ordinary men to insani-
ty. To be frank with you, the Wild
West show has had hard shedding since
it went to Europe. Things have been
going badly most of the time. In south
ern France we met with some very dis
couraging and distressing experiences.
In Paris we did good business and
were well treated. lt
''But the day we set out on our tour
of southern France, trouble begun. Our
crowds were small and ugly. Sentiment
was against us. To add to our Difficult
ties and troubles, a crowd of toughs fol-
lowed us from town to town and tried
to break up the performances. Almost
every night we had pitched battles with
them. Frequently shots were exchanged,
and in MANY instances men were wound
ed. You can easily imagine that we
cleared them out.
"The last year has been very un-
happy one to Colonel Cody. 1t is time
for him to settle down and take the
world easier. He is going to do So"

NEW Street NAMES
III
North Mankato Council Re-
ceive Plat of Village.
NEW H0IlSE NIIMRERS GIVEN
NEW HOUSE NUMBERS GIVEN
From Mondays Daily.

From Mondays Daily.
The North AIankato council held an
important meeting Saturday night. An
ordinance was passed, granting frah-
chise to the Mankato aGs and Electric
Light company to use the streets and
alleys for the purpose of laying mains.
The franchise is not exclusive, and'yis
not limited to any term of years.
The petition of thirty-four property
owners asking that the council submit
at the coming election the questionirbf
doing away with the present manner of
collecting the poll tax was presentrsl.
and was referred to the village attorney.
If there are no legal implements the
notices will be posted and the matter
submitted. I'D
1t was voted to sell sidewalk certiii-
Gates to the amount of $40, and to pay
off $500 of the village debt. This makes
81, 900 paid by the present council, and
the debt has been cut by it in two. leav-
ing it but $1,000. This is splendid
record, especially when it is remember
ed that the amount of the tax levy wAs
but $4,000, and there are no saloons to
derive license from. At the same time
many sidewalk, grading and other i'm
prOvements have been made. -.
Frank Bennett and Joseph Kircher
were appointed judges of election, and
Fred Emmler clerk of the board ~
A plat was presented, giving the num-
Der of each lot in the village and Athe
new names of the streets, as proposed
at previous meetings of the council.
Each % feet is given a number. and.the
numbers run up from the river west
ward and northward, 100 to the block.
The streets that run parallel with Bel
grade avenue are all called avenues, and
the cross streets are all called streets.
Each thoroughfare has but one name
throughout its length. Cornelia street
is changed to Park street, James street
to Second avenue South, Charles street
to First avenue South, Wheeler and
Paradise streets to First avenue North,
Arbor street to Second avenue north.
and Sherman avenue to Sherman street.
1t will be noticed that the avenues are
numbered from Belgrade avenue both
ways. This plan of naming the thor
oughfares will prove very convenient.
The plat will be adopted Wednesday
evening, at the same time with
an ordinance. ',s
1t was decided to place new signs on
all of the streets and avenues. ,"s
A special meeting will be held We'd
nesday evening to receive the annual re-
ports of officers and close up the years

WILL FIGHT THE TAX.
Great Northern Road ChalIengesithe
State, Contest Ahead.

st. Paul, Feb. 22.-The Great North
ern road has challenged the right of the
state of Minnesota to collect a per
cent gross earnings tax. 'H!'s
This morning it fled its gross earn
ings report with the state treasurer and
certified to it on a 5 per cent tax basis.
At the last general election "a con-
stitutional amendment was passed
which raised the gross earnings tax
from 3 to a per cent.
The Great Northern holds one of the
original railroad charters granted by the
territorial legislature in 1856 and which
provides that the road shall always pay
"a , per cent gross earnings tax and no
more.
The Great Northern claims that this
is an irrevocable contract with the state
and that no subsequent action can af-
feet it as the constitution of the United
States provides that no state shall pass
any laws which invalidate contracts.
The states contention viii! be that
the territorial legislature had no power
to surrender the taxing power of the
state for all times and that the provision
in the original charter is not binding.
The controversy will probably take
two years to settle, as it will have to
be passed upon by the United States
supreme court.
The Great Western will probably join
with the Great Northern in fighting the
case, as it also holds one of the terri
torial charters.
The Great Northern has already paid
100000 of its tax, which is $l56,000 less
than the 3 rer cent tax for 1908 would
amount to.
1t was thought that all the railroads
had decided to submit and the Great
Northern's action comes as surprise.
