In Siam the lighting of cigar in
dicates betrothal In that country a
person wishing to become engaged to
a girl of his choice offers her a
flower or takes light from cigar or
cigarette if she happens to have one
ir her mouth; and thereupon, provided
there is no impeachment, steps are at
once taken to arrange for the pay
ment of tn edowery. The families of
the bride and bridegroom have each
to provide a considerable sum. In
Calabria, as in many parts Of India,
lighted paper or a lighted pipe be-
tokens the acceptance Of the sutton or
the hand of lady in marriage. In
Siberia it is the custom that when a
sutton has been accepted by a girl
she presents him with q box of cigars
and a pair of slippers as sign that
he Is to be master In the house.

DIRECTORS TO
MEET
Street Railway Magnates Will Wake
Plans for Keeping Road Open
Snow Plow May Be Installed in the
Near Future,
Near FIXTURE.

The meeting of the directors of the
street railway tonight will be full of
interest to those who are interested in
the matter of local transportation.
Those who are interested in the pres
ent line realize that something must
be done, as the road cannot be kept
open for any length of time, and no
plan seems available for overcoming
the trouble unless the scheme of Prof.
Babcock to build a special snow pillow
proves practical. The plan of elevat-
ing the track is not practical, as the
new line would have to be built on a
right of way of its own, as the public
highways could not be used. The Sc
curing of this right of way is almost
an impossibility. There is no trouble
in operating the line in the city. but
the trouble occurs out on the prairie.
1t is recognized that the relation of
this line to the popularity of the UNI
versity is such that it can not be
abandoned without serious los: to both
the university and the city. These
are the unsolvable questions that the
board will try to settle tonight.

JUDGEMENT is.
AFFIRMED

In the Case of Ellen Pyke Versus the
City Of jamestown for Damages to
the Extent Of, $1,000 Supreme
Courts Decision.
In the supreme court, Ellen Pyke,
respondent, VS.. City of Jamestown, ap-
pellant.
1. The rule that "acquiescence in
error takes away the right of object
ing to it," is applicable to errors in
procedure. One who consents to an
irregular method of amending plead
ing cannot afterwards urge the irreg-
ularity as error.
2. The city auditor is the official
representative Of the city council for
the purpose of receiving claims against
the city, including claims for personal
injuries.
3. The plaintiff delivered her veri-
fled claim for damages for personal
injury to the mayor and auditor of the
defendant city. The delivery of the
copy to the auditor was outside of his
Office and was accompanied by state
ment of what the paper was and re-
quest that it be presented at the next
meeting of the council Held, upon
facts stated in the opinion, that the
claim was presented within the mean
ing OF Sections 2172 and 2173, Revised
Codes of 1899, which require. such
claims to be presented to the mayor
and common council"
4. The question of the negligence
of defendant or the alleged contribu-
tory negligence of plaintiff is pri-
marily and generally a question of
fact for the jury.
5. The question of negligence be-
comes a question of law only when
upon the undisputed facts reasonable
men can draw but one conclusion.
When reasonable minds may differ the
question is for the jury.
6. Upon the facts stated in the
opinion, the question of the defend
ants contributory negligence was
properly submitted to the jury.
z. Questions calling for the opinion
of an expert witness must be based
upon facts previously stated by the
witness, or upon facts testified to by
others, or upon facts agreed to- or
assumed as true alphabetically.
8. A question which calls for the
opinion of physician which is based
in part upon facts not contained in the
record is improper even though the
facts are personally known to him.
9. The aggravation of the conse-
quences of personal injury by the
use of opiates taken under the direc-
ton Of reputable physician to allevi-
ate the pain resulting from the injury,
is not defensive fact in an action
to recover damages for the injury.
The necessity for the use of the opiate
arises in such cases from the negli-
gent act causing the injury and not
from any negligence of the person in
jured.
Syllabus of the Court.
Appeal from the district court of
Stutsman county; Edward T. Burke,
judge.
F. G. Kneeland and s. L. Glaspell
for appellant; John Knauf and S. G.
Cady for respondent.
Plaintiff recovered judgment for five
thousand dollars damages for personal
injuries alleged to have been caused
by fall upon defective sidewalk in
city of jamestown. Defendant APP
peals. Oponion by Engerud, Judge,
and judgment affirmed.

force enough to put twenty typewrit-

one in his hands it was the only ma

wouldn't have cared SO much if the

Office had not seen his downfall
