new SLAUGHTER HOUSE
It Will BE Ready for Business Monday
Mornins-New Ordinance
.#-.... Is Very Rigid.

The central slaughter house in the
First ward will be ready for business
Monday morning and from that time
on the meat inspection ordinance will
be rigidly enforced.
The new ordinance Is one of the
most rigid measures of its kind and
was drawn up with the view of pro-
tecting the citizens of Fargo from
impure meat. After Monday all meat
sold in Fargo must have been BUTCH
cred in the central slaughter house or
must bear the stamp of the federal
authorities. The new slaughter house
was constructed strictly in accordance
with the most improved ideas per-
tanning to slaughter houses which
were embodied in the provisions of
the meat inspection ordinance. Every
possible effort was made in the con-
struction of the plant to make 1t abb
solutely sanitary
The slaughter house will be under
the personal supervision of Meat In
spector Durham. The board of health
will make rules governing the slaugh-
tering as deemed necessary from time
to time and will fix the rate to be
paid the owner of the slaughter house
by other butchers who desire to make
use of the plant

DOC HAD A GOOD NOSE
He Declined to Light a Lamp That
Had Been Filled With Gas
oline.

The fact that DR.. c. HI. Geary did
not have a cold in his head last night
probably averted a tragedy.
Late yesterday afternoon Mrs.
Geary ordered can of kerosene from
a grocery store. The order was de-
livered and Mrs. Geary proceeded to
fill the lamps in the house with the
fluid.
When DR.. Geary arrived home in
the evening he was requested to light
the lamps. Just as he was about to
apply the match, DR.. Geary had a
bunch and commenced to sniff
The odor of gasoline was sufficiently
strong to be readily detected by any
one not possessing cold in the head
and the match was laid aside.
DR.. Geary visited the grocery store
at which his wife had purchased the
oil and found that the grocery man
had got a can of Kerosene and can
of gasoline mixed. Neither can was
properly labelled.
Just what might have happened had
DR.. Geary not detected the odor of
gasoline before applying the match is
a subject for discussion Persons who
are familiar with John DIS popular
fluid are inclined to the opinion that
the insurance on DR.. Geary's house
would have been paid very shortly.

LOST HIS ROLL OF BILLS
Transient Visitor Had Troubles of His
Own at Local HoteI--Money
in undershirt

That too much care is sometimes
as bad as too little was clearly demon
strated last night by an amusing and
at the same time somewhat pathetic
incident which occurred at one of the
local hotels. An old man and his wife
and son, fresh from a Canadian farm
and evidently unused to travel and
city ways, arrived on one of the even
ing trains and asked for a room. They
were dressed in a style little unusual
and appeared to be somewhat agitated
but after they were safely in their
rooms little more attention was paid
to them.
About a. m. the proprietor of the
hotel was aroused by a telephone mes
sage from the night clerk stating that
one of the guests at the hotel had been
robbed of $3.50. Fastening to the hotel
he found an excited group in the lob
by composed of the Canadian couple
and their son. The old people were SO
stirred up over the loss of their mon
ey that they could not give an intel
ligent account of 1t but from the son
it was learned that the elder man car
ried a purse with $3.50 in it, He had
been in the habit of placing this in his
vest pocket but falling to find the key
70 his room and fearing thieves he had
on this occasion taken the special pre-
caution CT placing the roll inside his
llndershirt. He and his wife then lay
down without undressing.
Waking in the night he felt for his
-. q.
he had put it became alarmed and
reused the clerk. Asked why he did
not leave his valuables in the hotel
safe he stated that he had not thought
of it.
AS the old mar was suffering from
heart disease the hotell1eeper did his
best TO quiet him fearing that the ex-
element attending the loss might
prove fatal, telling him that the mon
ey could not have been stolen and
that it would soon be found. A diligent
search of the bed and room as well as
the pockets of the sufferers clothes
failed to reveal any bills, and he was
fast becoming frantic with anxiety
Then a happy thought struck mine
host. He asked the son to undress
his father and see If by any POSSIBLE
ity the bills could yet be found The
group of anxious people retired and a
few minutes later reappeared all
smiles The bills which had been the
source of so much anxiety had been
found in the sleeve of the old mans
undershirt having slipped down during
the night.
In spite of the recovery of their
money however, the old man and his
wife declined to go to bed and spent
the rest of the night sitting up evil
IDENTIFY fearing that the money might
again get away from them in some
mysterious manner.

FOOTBALL AT THE A. c.
Coach Dobie Gets a Team of Faculty
and Alumni Players for Practice
r Work.

Coach Dobie of the agricultural COLI
lege is getting ready to line up his
football players next Monday after
noon. The college opens Monday and
all the old players and the new .arriv-
ais VIII be given suits that afternoon
so the work can be started immedi-
ately.
As a small number is anticipated
for the first few weeks the coach has
succeeded in getting team of faculty
and alumni players formed with which
he will be able to give his regulars
good practice. This will be of great
deal of advantage, especially till there
are enough students in the squad for
two or three teams.
Efforts will be made to have fast
second team. Coach Dobie intends to
devote considerable time to the second
aggregation, not only in coaching them
on plays but in arranging games. He
hopes to secure four contests with
high school teams to give the second
aggregation some reward for their
work as a practice aggregation for the
regulars. AS fast as any of the Sec
ond team show the requisite qualifi-
cations they will be advanced to the
first team and 1t will be an incentive
for them to do some hustling.

PREVENTED MEETING.
Premier Stolypin Won't Let the Con-
stitutional Democrats Convene.

stitutional Democrats Convenes
st. Petersburg, Sept. 13.--The pro-
posed meeting of the constitutional
democratic party has been prohibited
by Premier Stolypin. According to a
prominent member of this party who
visited the premier to secure his sup
port for the meeting. M. Stolypin said
he considered the constitutional demo-
Gratis to have been an undesirable
party in parliament, because their ''re-
spectability" was a cloak for highly
dangerous sedition and criticism. The
premier much preferred the group of
toll. because men like Aladdin and
zhilkin were at least outspoken. The
government and the world at large
knew just where to place them.
This decision has been communicate
ed to the committee of the party To-
Gated here. Preparations are already
under way to hold the meeting in
Finland. probably at Helsingfors.
The activity of the administration
in putting its land programme into
force Is a source of considerable alarm
in the camp of the constitutional
democrats. The organs of the party
admit that the amount of land to be
distributed is dangerous factor in
winning the support of the peasantry.
In pursuance of the policy OF
strengthening the loyalty Of the guard
regiments, the Pavlovsky regiment
was feted at Peterhoff The regiment
was reviewed by the emperor who af-
forwards entertained the officers at
luncheon

Bear Hunting,

Bear hunting. with the assistance Of
guides supplied with a well trained
pack of hounds, may be satisfactory if
merely the killing of them Is desired,
but 1t certainly IL no sport and de-
serves not even to be ranked with trap
ping bears, as in, the latter case the
hunter must possess at least some
knowledge of the quarry's habitat and
habits. Unlike fox, bear, when
once found by the hounds, stands no
chance whatever of escaping, and
there would be just as much sport in
shooting the animals in park or pen
as to kill a run to bay bear. And,
while this truth applies to mountain
lions also, there Is not even the ex-
cuse of the animals destructiveness,
which is applicable as far as the lat
ter is concerned.-Field and Stream.

Are ministers, SONS Baat

A bishop marked the names of those
whom he deemed worthy of remem-
brance for some service performed in
religion or politics or literature or sci
ence or art or commerce or philan-
thropy or warfare, or some other as
poets of the various life of the nation.
OF such names he found 1,270 who
were the children of cIergymen or min
listers, taking no account OF those who
were grandchildren of clergymen or
more remote descendants. or the chill
dren OF lawyers, there were 5lO, and
OF doctors $50. The sons OF clergymen
who became Themselves clergymen
we're $50, He further asserts that the
superiority which the clergy enjoy in
respect to their children to the other
professions lies beyond dispute. The
superiority has been not Of numbers
only, but Of degree. From clerical
homes have sprung more distinguished
sons than from the homes Of any secsl-
lar profession. Leslle's Weekly.

NO TRACE OF CHILD.
Mystery of the Disappearance of a
Child Still unsolved.

San Francisco. Sept 13.-Little Cecil
Britain, aged 5, toddled from his
mothers doorstep at Tollgate, Ore, on
the morning of July Is and has not
been seen since. His heartbroken par
ents are living from day to day in the
hope that some tidings may come of
the little son for whom they have
vainly searched the woods for miles
around. They have offered $1,000 for
his return alive, $50 for his dead body.
Next day after the child disappear
ed the bloodhounds from the state
penitentiary were secured and given
the scent from some of the lost child's
garments. The dogs picked up the trail
and followed it for two miles, deep in
to the woods. Here it stopped and the
hounds lifted their noses from the
ground. After several widening cir
cles around this point had been made
the dogs suddenly found the trail
again. This trail however ran but a
short distance and then ceased alto
gether
That the child was kidnapped SEEM
ed plain. That he was picked up and
carried by omeone was indicated by
the loss of the trail by the blood
hounds and by their finding IL again
more than mile distant, probably
where the little fellow had again been
set down and made to walk by his
captor.
1t is believed that escaped cenyicts
from the nearby penitentiary kidnap-
ped the boy to hold for ransom, and
lit Is feared that the kidnapper may
have grown afraid of the risks and
killed the lad or abandoned him al
some distant point.

been standing for several weeks with

Why Is poodle, so called? Some
one says: Probably the natural an
Iswer would recall the old lady who
said that no credit could be given
to Adam for naming the pig, since
anybody would have known what to
call 1t. Poodle seems so obvious a
name for this dog. And, in fact, this
is not far from the truth about the
origin of the word. 1t is quite recent
In English, not being found before
1854, apparently. 1t Is the German
'pudel,' which comes from the Low
German, 'pudeln. to waddle, and the
dog must have been so called, as Skeat
says, either because he waddles after
his master or because he looks fat and
clumsy on account of his thick hair"
