SMOTHERS TO
DEATHIN DITCH
WORKMAN IN SEWER MEETS
TERRIBLE FATE
Caught by cave-in, He Slowly
strangIes, Although His Neck Is
Broken by Weight of
Heavy Boards

Antonio Baladez was fatally injured
yesterday morning in cavern at
Central avenue and Thirty-third
street, where workmen were excavating
The ditch was about ten feet in
depth and a number of workmen were
removing planks from the excavation
when the accident occurred.
The sandy soil at once began to pour
down into the ditch and the laborers
fled for their lives.
Baladez was held down by the
weight of several heavy planks.
When he finally was taken from the
ditch it was found that he had smoth-
ered to death, although his neck had
been broken.
Regardless of Precautions
Foreman ]. C. Duncan is said to have
ordered the snoring to be removed and
while the planks were being knocked
away the cavern occurred.
Owing to the sandy nature of the
soil the contractors are said to have
ordered extra precautions to be taken
Several small cave-ins have been re-
ported from other portions of the sewer
ditch, but no serious accidents followed.
City Inspector l.. Strohm was near
the scene and he aided in removing
the body of the unfortunate man and
telephoned to the police station for the
ambulance.
The body was removed to Bresee
Bros. undertaking establishment, where
an inquest will be held today.
Baladez was about 35 years old, and
he leaves a wife and three children.
He lived In New High street.

market was weak all day. During the
early part of the session the chief in

cate a larger Yield than a year ago

the principal sellers, although commits
sion houses also sold freely. The market
closed weak. September opened Bdkc

and closed %c down at 723sc.
The corn market was steady at the
start because of fair demand by cash
houses, which were influenced by small
local receipts. Sentiment, however, soon
became bearish and during the remainder
of the day held weak. September closed
oats displayed considerable weakness
after a firm start September closed hCQ

4 BLUFF CALLED.

The Herald's persistency in circu-
lating the falsehood to the effect that
| this paper is the personal organ of
| Senator HanSbrOugh, and as such is
| bound to defend his acts right or
wrong, would no doubt be commend
able were it not so silly--nOt to use a
harsher term.
Long before the initial number of
The Evening Times was issued the
Herald took upon itself the task of
outlining it's policy for it, asserting
among other things, that it's mission
would be to whitewash "the old gang"
and down Winship." 1t never al
lowed an opportunity TO pass of dis
crediting this paper by inference and
insinuations, nor of ascribing bad
motives to it's promoters. The Evening
Times has paid no attention to the
course taken by the Herald in this
regard, but it believes that the time
has now arrived when it cannot with
out loss of self-respect longer SUBJ
nit the other cheek to the Bullets of
its conceited and self-righteous con-
temporary.
AS regards the charge that The
Evening Times is the plant tool of
Senator Hansbrough we have simply
this to say: If the Herald can bring
proof to the effect that Senator Hans
brough is an unworthy citizen or an
unfaithful public servant-or has in
any manner been derelict in the duty
which he owes to his constituents
The Evening Times pledges itself to
join in crusade against him to the
end that the people be fully appraised
of his unworthiness.
The Herald's limitations that it has
seen fit to withhold certain matters
derogatory to the character of Sen
ator Hansbrough savors strongly of
cowardice or untruthfulness-or both
on it's part The Evening Times
knows of nothing of that sort and if
it did it would unhesitatingly give the
public the benefit of such knowledge.
However, assuming that the Herald
is telling the truth in the premises
The Evening Times hereby openly
challenges it to produce its expose,
together with the proof of it's correct
ness in which event we hereby pledge
ourselves to join with it in waging a
relentless war upon that gentleman.

Louis James.

There are many sad memories which
surround the plays named in the
splendid repertoire presented by
Louis James this season. For, strange
to relate, his two great predecessors,
Edwin Forrest and John Mccullough,
babe farewell to the stage in two of
the three plays offered. On the even
ing of April 2, 1872, Edwin Forrest
closed his dramatic career upon the
stage of the Globe theatre, Boston, in
the play and character of "Richelieu,"
and the last words of the cardinal as
the drop curtain fell, $50 ends all,
seemed fitting farewell>of the grand
old actor to public he served faith
fully for over fifty years.
Mental and physical collapse came
upon genial John Mccullough while
playing "Virginius" at McVicker's
theatre, Chicago, in 1884. Thus two
of the three great links that have
held in safety the welfare of the clas-
sic drama have "shYffled off this NOR
tai coil" in harness, and it is to be
hoped there will be many years be-
fore 1.-The noblest Roman of them ALL"
Louis James, will be called to join the
great majority. Mr. James gives "vir-
ginius" at the Metropolitan on Wednes-
day, February IA.

WHY THEY OBJECT.
A friend at Williston writes:

A friend at Williston writes:
Allow me the privilege of your time
for few minutes. 1 wish in so asking
that you would remember the article
as communicated from Minot to your
paper of a recent date, Friday or Sat
urday. with reference to organizing
fight against the creation of a land dis
trict for this city as headquarters. The
statement was made that there were
over 100 present. Now, as a matter of
fact there We're exactly % present, two
of whom We're opposed to the purpose
of the meeting.
The Evening Times does not under
stand that the people of Minot and
Ward county object to the formation
OF a new land district with headquar-
tiers at Williston. But that the meet
ing was called to protest against the
segregation of the northern tier of
townships tributary to Portal, Flaxton
and Bowbells and adding them to the
new district; that it would entail hard
ships upon the settlers in that portion
of Ward county in compelling them to
travel from the towns mentioned to
Minot on the 500 and from Minot to
Williston on the Great Northern,
distance of nearly 200 miles. The
Evening Times was informed that this
was the only phase of the question
that the people of Ward county were
Directing to, and to assist in righting
this evident injustice it lent its voice
in behalf of their cause.
There is no question that the new
district will be formed; that there is
righteous demand for it; and that the
land office of the new district will be
located at Williston. But the people
of that enterprising city will not ask
that in the formation of the new dis
trict the same ahardships be i'm
posed upon the l Adents of a portion
of it that the people around Williston
have endured under the present, ar
rangement.

prevention should be more In evidence
than those of cure-that is the dis
eases should be prevented.
The state board of health is doing
a splendid work along this line in
North Dakota, and while much re-
mains in an educational way, the
points of its labors are already ap-
parent
The work, however, is not obligatory
upon the parents. The information
obtained is merely advisory, and only
warns the parent of the probable ex-
istence of disease
Here is where the parent should join
in the work by taking advantage of the
information SO that the children may
be not only educated, but may have
that perfect physical condition of the
most important organ of the body so
essential to the happiness of the child
and it's usefulness as citizen in after
life

"When Johnny Comes Marching
Home"

"When Johnny Comes Marching
Home"
A fairly good-sized house greeted
the appearance of this company at the
Metropolitan opera house last even
ing and the production, somewhat
unique in Its line, pleased the patrons
of the popular theatre. The music is
inspiring, it being made up of a me-
lange of national airs sung by good
voices. Blue uniforms, "Old Glory"
and bevy of pretty girls in hoop
skirts not so pretty enlivened the scene,
and withal the comic opera made an
impression insuring it welcome upon
it's next appearance. w. T. and w. P.
Carleton, father and son. are in the
cast, and have good voices. The son
has a handsome physique and should
be matinee idol, while his faher has
the better voice and a pleasing stage
appearance. The cast generally was
good.

for years and when these transfers
are made, the deficit is distributed
pro rata among the policies, thus re-
ducing the dividends to be finally
paid
The remedy proposed by Mr.. Coop
er is to have the dividends declared
annually on each policy, and the pol
icy holder either paid in cash or if
he prefers to allow the dividend to
remain in the custody of the company,
to have certificate of the amount due
upon his policy because of the divi-
dend, which certificate shall be
draft upon the company for it's face
value at the maturity of the policy
This would prevent the robbing of
one class of policy holders to pay an
other, and would to some extent, pre-
vent the accumulation of gigantic
funds which could be used for specu-
lation purposes, and which have led
to much of the insurance corruption.
But the plan, far reaching and adj
vantageous as it is. possesses some de-
fects.
Suppose a company has thousand
policies in this class in which the an

pillaged from the widows and or
phans.
