Well Known Contractor Meets His
Death This Afternoon.
Falls Eighty,two Feet, From Top of a
New Malt House.
Concrete Floor, Laid Saturday, Gives
Way Under His Weight.
Body frightfuiiY EangIed, and His
Death Almost Instant.
From Mondays Daily.

Early this afternoon an awful affair
occurred at the plant of the new malt
company on Rock street near Front, re-
sulting in the death of Contractor J. G.
Franksen, of the firm of Franksen &
Mahlke, who have the contract for en-
larging the plant.
Mr.. Franksen was at work on the high
est floor of the new portion of the build
ing, cutting brick, in company with O..
F. Carlson, a stone mason, at LAS
o'clock this afternoon, when the accident
occurred that caused his almost instant
death.
The floors of the new part are to be
equipped with steel beams, four inches
thick, with concrete between. To hold
the concrete until it dries, planks are to
be used, placed between the lower part
of the beams, and to be removed as soon
as the concrete is thoroughly dry. The
work of laying the concrete began on the
highest floor, and it is made five inches
thick, one inch higher than the beams.
That near where Mr.. Franksen stood
this afternoon was laid Saturday, and
was put down by Mr.. Carlson. 1t was
supposed to be dry, and the planks that
supported it were removed this fore
noon.
In stepping about, Mr.. Franksen
stepped on the concrete between the
beams, and it gave way under his weight,
and he fell through the floor, between the
beams. He fell to the first floor, eighty
two feet below, receiving injuries from
which he died fifteen minutes later. In
his fall he struck an iron rod used to
brace the building twenty feet above the
ground floor In striking the floor nail
was forced through his stomach, both
arms were broken, and one leg was badly
crushed He did not regain conscious
ness before he died.
The dying man was picked up tenderly
and carried out of the building, and
medical aid was summoned. As soon as
life was extinct the coroner was sum-
moned.
The deceased resided at 500 North
Fourth street, and was forty-seven years
of age. He was born in Denmark, and
leaves a wife and two children, a daugh-
ter twenty-one years of age and three
year old boy. He was a carpenter by
trade, and was well and favorably
known. He owned the house where he
lived and one other, and expected to
built on a vacant lot next to his house
next winter He carried $4,000 of acct
dent insurance with the Modern Wood
men of America, and was also member
of and carried life insurance in the A.
o. U. w, the Modern Brotherhood of
America, and the Maccabees. His wife
and daughter also belong to the latter.
His sudden and sad death casts a
gloom over the community, and the sym
pathy of all will be extended to the
stricken family.
The firm of Franksen & Mahlke is one
of the best known in the city and has
done large contracting business in
this and previous years.

PAID THEIR FINES.
Dealers Who Handle AduIterated Pre-
serves, Iams, etc.

From Mondays Daily.
The state dairy and food commission
has prosecuted two retail dealers for sell
ing adulterated baking powder labeled
with meaningless and fictitious ingredl-
ents. The wrappers on the cans were IN
scribed with high-sounding phrases calcu-
lated to catch the eye of the public, and
the dealers were fined $25 each on the
basis of the law STIMULATING that baking
powed shall be labeled in the English
language.
The labels stated that the baking pow
der contains white of egg, peroxide OF
magnesia, sodium carbonate, calcium
acid, phosphate sodium illuminate, sui
plate and corn starch. Most of these
names are unknown to chemical science.
The labels also said that the ingredients
are so accurately compounded that the
"effervescencing powers of each properly
neutralize the other, throwing off per
cent more carbonic acid gas than another
product manufactured" statement
which the department failed to under
stand.
The department prosecuted firm for
selling linseed oil containing large guam
titles of mineral oil, including naphtha,
benzine and petroleum. The firm was
fined $25 and costs. Ae retail dealer was
fined $25 and costs for disposing of adul-
terated vinegar.
Other prosecutions were made as fol-
lows: Strawberry jam mixed with glu-
cose, $40 and costs; lard containing large
quantities of tallow, $25; apricot preser-
yes, thirds glucose, $40 and costs;
lard, mixed with tallow, $25.
Inspector j. G. Fowler is responsible
for these prosecutions. MIR. Fowler is
one of the most energetic officials in the
department and is pushing violations of
the law to the limit.

MANY FLORAL OFFERINGS,
Numerous Testimonials of Esteem at
Funeral of F. W. Boehmer.
From Mondays Daily.

The funeral of the last Fred w. Boeh-

Presbyterian church, which was filled
with the friends and acquaintance of
the deceased. The lodge of which he was
a member, the Knights of Pythias, the
Elks and the A. o. U. W., were present
in bodies.
The floral offerings were numerous and
beautiful. The Elks lodge gave a brOk-
en- column, the A. o. U. w. cross, and
the Knights of Pythias shield. The
casket was covered with pink and white
roses.
Rev. +. E. R. Miller preached the flu
neral sermon, and it was most impress
sive. The Presbyterian choir furnished
the music.
The remains were laid away in Glen
wood cemetery, a long line of teams fol
lowering the body to the grave.

FORGOT THAT HE HAD DINED.

Discussion of the electric lighting prop
osition became so strenuous the other
dav that it caused one business man to
forget that he had eaten his dinner. 1t
all happened in this way: The business
man referred to stepped into restaurant
during the noon hour and ate hearty
meal At the conclusion OF the repast
he stepped out on the sidewalk, and there
met several gentlemen who commenced a
discussion of the electric lighting matter.
Their conversation became somewhat eX-
cited and the gentleman who had just
eaten his dinner was taking prominent
part in it. A neighbor came along and
said: 'Come on, Mr.. -, let's go to
dinner" "All right" came the reply, and
the two men started off in the direction

resented as a financial man. Messrs. OPP

erection.
Mr.. Jewett is said to be taking a trip
over the Cannon Valley and the Redwing-

is talk of sale of the Great Western

is representing one of these gentle
