COMPLETES ARTILLERY
BARNS AT FORT
Tenth Battery Will Move Into New
Quarters in Two Weeks.

The artillery barracks at Fort Shell
ing are about completed and the mem
bers of the Tenth battery, now located
in the old fort, will move into their new
quarters within the next two weeks.
AS soon as the artillery men leave the
old barracks the buildings will be turn
ed over to the contractors and their
remodeling will be commenced at once
Bids for the remodeIing of the old
buildings will be opened at the army
headquarters Nov. 2.
Contractor Timothy Reardon yester-
day completed the artillery barns and
one of the large barracks. The second
barracks will be ready within two
weeks and the buildings will then be
officially turned over to Capt R. M.
Schofield, constructing quartermaster.
One of the workshops adjoining the
artillery barns is finished and the other
will be completed some time this fall.
Through some error, specifications for
the second workshop were left out Of
the original plans for the artillery
quarters. 1t was necessary to secure
a special permit from Washington to
advertise for bids for the second work.

A contract for an electric lighting
system for the fort has just been let
to the Mcbride Electric company, of

TEACHERS WILL AID
Viii Help Health Board to Guard
Pupils Sight.

81 have no hesitaney In saying that
our department will gladly cooperate
with the state board of health in it's
movement to preserve the eyesight and
hearing OF school children" said A. J.
Smith, superintendent of the schools of
this city,8yesterday to T h e G o b e.
81 believe it is entirely practicable
that the teachers should apply such
simple tests as are necessary to detect
incorrectness of, the vision in their
pupils, and 1 most heartily agree with
the state board of health in the opinion
that Whep. the slightest defect has been
discovered in the vision of a pupil the
matter should be brought to the at
tention of the parents of the child
without delay.
TT is customary in our schools even
now for the teachers, when they have
discovered that a pupil has any visual
difficulty, to report the fact to the
parents, and to. use their best efforts
to impress the parents with the i'm
portance of securing medical advice.
There is some question as to how far
a teacher may go under such circum-
stances. For example, there is a case
in one of our schools now Of a child
whose sight is defective and whose
parents took her to an optician instead
Of an oculist. The child was furnished
with glasses, but they are not strong
enough to meet the requirements. I
have advised the teacher to send for
the parents and lay the matter plainly
before them in all it's seriousness. AS
far as 1 can see,: that is the best that
can be done.
81 think that the proper plan for the
examination of the eyes of the pupils
of our schools generally would be to
have the tests applied by the teacher.
In fact, I think that an intelligent and
observing teacher should be able to
detect any, marked case of defective
vision without a special test. A pupil
who is short sighted or far sighted in
any marked degree will manifest his
infirmity in the classroom by his ac-
tons.
1.-The matter of hearing is different
question, and l really believe that If
three auristS were to go through our
schools, each supposing that he was
the only one, they would between them
find 80 per cent of our pupils to be de-
fective in hearing, and in many cases
their judgment on the same pupils
would be different. 1t is a difficult
thing to detect slight faults in hearing.
and the teachers could not perhaps do
that so readily"

GAINS HIS LIBERTY
DR.. Robillard Decides to Obey
the Courts Decree.

DR.. Sylvanus Robillard, who has
been occupying celt~in the county
jail for some days past, upon the COM
plant of his wife, who charged him
with non-support is once more free
man, having been given his freedom
in the district court yesterday by Judge
Orr, before whom he was arraigned.
After consultation with his attor-
ney DR.. Robillard decided to plead
guilty, and was commanded by the
court to pay to his wife the sum of $45
per month. In the event of the doctors
failure to pay the amount the courts
orders are that he be sent back to the
county Jail.
Judge Orr at first ordered DR.. Robil-
lard to pay $50 per month, but the
doctor protested, saying his practice
had been so ruined by his being con-
fined in Jail that he could not afford
to pay so much. He also said his wife
had taken his surgical instruments and
that he was unable to work without
them.
He claimed the gross income from
his practice amounted to about $4,000
per- year, and from this amount he
allowed his minor son $25 per month.
DR.. Robillard appeared to enjoy his
brief incarceration in the county jail,
and upon being released yesterday re-
marked that while the publicity might
have injured his practice, he was con-
fident that it had been benefit to his
health.

GETS NEW APPLIANCE
TO MAKE THE TEST
Dairy and Food Commissioner Still OH
Fiatgaard Poison Case.

In its efforts to definitely establish
the cause of the death of the two Flat
gard children at Bergen, Mimi, sew
eral months ago, the State Dairy and
Food commission has found it neceS-
sary to equip its laboratory with spe-
cial apparatus. The new equipment,
which consists Of an appliance de-
signed particularly for use in a test
for ptomaines, arrived yesterday and
has been installed.
The children, five-year- son and
three-year- old daughter Of Andrew
Flatgaard, died suddenly under con-
ditions indicating that they had been
poisoned and it was believed that their
death was caused by summer sausage,
of which both of them had eaten.
Portions of the sausage were tested
at the meteorological laboratory of the
state board of health without definite
results. The report simply showed
that while no poisonous matter had
been detected in the sausage in sufh-
cient proportions to cause death, it had
not been established that poisonous
matter did not exist in the sausage.
Tissues from the stomach of Irene
Flatgaard were furnished to the state
board of health but they were not eX-
amined by that department and were
returned to. the dairy and food COM
mission. 1t is these tissues that are
now TO be tested in the laboratory of
the department

GRANTS DIVORCES TO
THREE APPLICANTS
Two Wives and One Husband Have
Marital Bonds Severed.

Three divorces were granted in the
district court yesterday, two by Judge
Jaggard and one by Judge Lewis.
Judge Lewis, after hearing the testi-
mony, granted a divorce to Louisa King
Eastman from George Eastman. The
couple were married in Minneapolis in
1900. Soon after the marriage the wife
was left at the home of her mother and
her husband went away, never to re-
turn. The proof Of desertion was suffi-
cient and the decree was granted.
Judge Jaggard granted a divorce to
Emma Wrinkle from Bernard J. Wrinkle,
desertion upon the part of the husband
having been proven. The marriage took
place in April, 1897, and there are two
children. The plaintiff said her hus-
band was addicted to drink.
Another divorce decree went to
Charles III. Lester, who asked the court
for a legal separation from Louise Les
ter, whom he says deserted him within
two years after the marriage. The
marriage took place in Minneapolis.

The $4,000 personal injury damage
suit brought by Anton Ness, father of
Alvin Ness, against the street railway
company, was on trial before Judge
Kelly and jury in the district court
yesterday, but was settled before the
case went to the jury, the street car
company making a proposition which
was satisfactory to the plaintiff.
The child who was injured was
three years old and had been caught
by the gates of a car when the father,
with the child, had attempted to get
aboard at woodward avenue and La
fayette avenue. When the father told
the jury of the manner in which the
child was injured he wept and could
scarcely tell the story.

LOSES HAPPY HOME.

Goes Home to luEcheon Only 70 Near
That His Household Has Moved.
Never before in the history of Grand
Forks have houses been in greater de-
mand. Usually there is a good deal
Of crowding in the fall, when people
move in from the country to send
their children to school. In the
spring there is a good deal of moving
out, and at this season there is gen.
orally falling of in demand for
houses. This year it seems as if the
scarcity of houses is greater now than
It was in the fall.
An amusing illustration of the ex.
periences of renter was afforded the
other day. A clerk in one Of the dry
goods stores one afternoon in CONVEX
sation with a friend, made some re-
mark about hunting up his house, and
the friend asked him where he was
living now. Hanged if l know" was
the reply. II WAS living on Blank
street this morning, but haven't the
faintest idea where I live now" Be-
ing pressed for an explanation he
said:
well, it's this way: The owner of
rented it to us last fall for the winter,
and our time will be up in few days.
The owner is coming back, and we
have to vacate. am busy at work
all day, and have left the matter of
house hunting to my wife. She has
been trying for weeks to find the right
sort of place, but it began to look as

left home this morning without any
definite arrangements having been
made for home, though my wife
thought she had chance at couple.
At noon l went home to lunch and
found the place deserted. A neighbor
said she had seen a lot of drays busy
all morning carrying out stuff, and
she supposed we had moved but she
didn't know where. told her didn't
either, and as didn't have much time
to spare, had to hurry down town
and get luLch and go to work 1 real
ly don't know whether have any
home and family household goods or
not"
A little later his wife came in and
reported that she had been able to
close deal for one of the houses, and
she was determined that she would
make sure of it by moving at once,
which she did. In the hurry of NOV.
ing she had neglected to notify her
husband of the location of the place
which he was thenceforward to call
home.
