OF wood. The rope should be put over
the top pulley, and under the bottom
pulley. The legs should be sunk In
the ground, so they will not slide and

hook should be securely fastened on
the rope A steady horse can operate

sanitary CoAv stables Needed.

It seems to be difficult thing in dairy
management to secure cleanly condi-
tions in COW stable. About 80 out of
100 are far from sweet and clean the
offensive odors contaminate the breath,
blood and tissue of the animal; and con-
seuuently first-class article of milk
cannot be produced. The barns should
be busted often and whitewashed at
least once year; not only to give them
a good appearance and make the stable

Farmers Should Join the Grange.

While the grange Is making rapid
strides In membership this year, there
are still great many farmers who
are not members of the Order of
Patrons Of HusbanGry. More than
30000,000 people of the United States
are engaged in agriculture. The moral.
social, educational and financial status
of so large a number of our people is
matter Of interest to every good citi-
zen. The primary purpose of the
grange is to educate and elevate the
American farmer. Every patriotic
farmer should join the grange and help
the good work along, and every other
good citizen, as opportunity may offer,
should speak word of encouragement.

INQUIRY OF KNUDSON'S DEATH
Coroner's Jury Takes Testimony as to the
Accidental Death of c. L. Knudson at
Fort Lincoln.

the Hennessy Construction company,
and superintendent of the work at Fort
Lincoln, testified that the scaffold had
been built by Charles Edstrom, whom
he had brought up from St. Paul as an
expert scaffold builder. He testified
that he had always given instructions
for the building of sound scaffolds. He
saw Knudson as he was falling through
the air. and was the first man to reach
him after he had fallen. Knudson
had not spoken after falling, but
opened his eyes once and groaned He
told also of notifying Mrs. Knudson
of the accident.
William Schnelle, the foreman Of the
work on the barrack building, gave
similar testimony as to the construc-
tion of scaffolds He said that there
was no means of seeing that the tim
ber which broke was unsound or un-
safe. 1t was smooth sawed on the
outside. but after the break it could
be seen that the grain was curled, as
though the board had been sawed a
little distance from a knot He said
that If he had examined the timber
In question before the break he would
have considered 1t safe.
Thomas Fortune testified to the de-
tails after the accident DR.. ]. S. White
Of Fort Lincoln testified to examining
Knudson after he had fallen. He
found him suffering from hemorrhage
and profound shock. He formed the
opinion that the man was suffering
from a fracture OF the base of the
skull, and that he would die in a few
minutes Knudson was carried to the
barrack building and was dead inside
of five minutes. The cause OF death,
he thought, was cerebral hemorrhage
and shock. There was no possibility
of doing anything to aid the injured
man.
This morning the jurors visited the
scene Of the accident and brought back
with them the broken timber, which
caused the accident. After convening
this afternoon Mr. Clark was recalled
and identified the timber The jury
i rendered a verdict this afternoon that
Knudson came to his death by the
!, breaking of a defective lookout scat
, fold, but that he did not come to his
2 death feloniously.

While refusing to credit the reports
OF an ultimatum having been deliv-

The matter of city lighting was also
disposed of by the councils deciding
to take four arc lights and thirty in
candescent lights, at rate of $40 a
month for the arcs and 81 each month
for the incandescents The was an
other long discussion over the appor-
tionment of the lights. Alderman
Smyth moved that the arcs be appcr-
toned one each to the four wards, but
did not get a second. The arcs were
finally apportioned one to the First
ward and three to the Second ward
On the apportionment Of the incandes-
cents, it was moved that eight be given
to the First ward, eight to the Second,
seven to the Third and seven to the
Fourth. Alderman Patterson said the
Fourth ward would give their seven
to the Second ward, but the council
decided otherwise and left the lights
as first apportioned. The lights are
to be taken for period of ten and a
half months and street lighting is to
begin Oct Is, after the aldermen o.
the different wards decide upon thei
location The council also authorize

There was a lively meeting of the
city council last night and hot eX-
change of aldermanic compliments be-
tween aldermen from the Second, First
and Fourth wards. The line up was
Aldermen Smyth and Reade against
Alderman Patterson and there was
set of verbal fisticuffs that enlivened
the session beyond tn ordinary. The
row began over a motion of Alderman
Reade to reconsider the motion by
which the council ordered sewers and
drain pipes put in at Fourth and
Fifth streets to carry of the surplus
water. This motion was passed at the
session of the council a week ago, af-
ter a number Of attempts made by
Alderman Patterson to carry it through
the council On the motion of Alder
man Reade to reconsider last night,
Alderman Patterson expressed himself
as believing that it was done by Alder
man Reade for the purpose Of block
ing legislation of the council and stav-
ing of the work. To this Alderman
Reade responded by quoting from the
record read by the clerk of adjourned
meetings where it was impossible tc
get a quorum, when Alderman Patter-
son deliberately avoided the council
chambers to prevent a quorum, when
the council was endeavoring to pass
an appropriation ordinance Alderman
Patterson also stated that he had been
turned down by the council in every
effort he had made to pass legislation
through the council. To this state
ment both Alderman Smyth and
Mayor Register took vigorous excep-
tion, stating that so far as they were
concerned they were legislating for
the interests of the city and without
any personal feeling for or against any
alderman. On the motion of Alder
man Reade that the work in question
be done by the street commissioner
from poll taxes collected, Mr.
Reade's motion was defeated. The
matter was finally left as originally
carried, with some minor changes in
the size of pipe and manner of work t.
be done. Street Commissioner Ritchey
statd to the council that not enough
