MEDICINE man WAS injured
c. D. Ford Suffers From q Broken
Knee Cap-Head Struck Top of
Door Frame and Man Was Knock
ed Unconscious-May be Confined
to the House for Several n6Xs. -

Rugby, n. D., May 15.-C. D. Ford
is laid up with broken knee-eap, al
a result of most peculiar accident
he met with yesterday. !
He went out with his medicine
wagon and stopped at Charles Aus
tins a few miles southeast of here
for dinner. Before the meal was
served he started for the stable to
feed his horses and as he did not
return in a reasonable length Of time
one of the men went in search of
him and found him lying unconscious
just inside the stable door.
He was taken into the house, res
toratives applied and DR.. McMurty
summoned, who, on making an ex-
animation, found his left knee-cap
to be broken clean in two.
1t seems when Mr.. Ford left the
house he started on 4 run for the
stable, the door of which was open,
and as he entered the building gave
an extra leap to avoid the sill. In
so doing his head struck the top OF
the door frame and he was thrown
forward on the stable floor, breaking
his knee-cap. but whether 1t was the
blow on the head or the injury to his
is hard to say.
He was brought to his home in
Wolford the same evening and while
he appears to be getting along as
well as could be expected, the doctor
fears it will be several weeks before
he can leave the house.

6, F. GARBAGE ORDINANCE
New Scheme Will Be Tried-Garbage
Will Be Collected and Cared for
Free of Charge to Citizens to
Be Paid Out of the Public Health
Fund.

4he city of Grand Forks has pass
Fed "a new garbage ordinance Aeaign-
ed to Work fora cleaner city. H.
The chief difference between the
old and the new ordinance is that
under the new ordinance the city
will remove free of charge to resi-
dents garbage of the first class, COM
prising kitchen refuse, decayed fruit
and vegetables, ETC., and the fifth
class, comprising ashes, tin cans,
broken bottles, etc. AS introduced
the ordinance provided that the city
should &be divided into two districts
the first district comprising the First,
Second, Third and Seventh wards,
and the second district the Fourth,
Fifth and Sixth wards, each district
to be provided with garbage collec-
tor, to furnish team and to be APP
pointed by the mayor at salary of
500 per month. This proposition en-
countered a very lively opposition,
which threatens to defeat the ordin-
ance and it was finally amended to
provide for advertising for bids, the
successful bidder being required to
furnish bonds in the sum of $500 that
the work would be satisfactorily
done Another amendment provided
that the cost of removing garbage of
these two classes should be paid out
of the public health fund. All other
classes of garbage Is to be taken
care of by occupants OF premises.
under regulations of the ordinance.
A new feature is section which pro-
hibits the piling of manure either
on premises or on streets or alleys,
and requiring it to either be placed
in awago pox and hauled of as fire.
auently as it is filled, or to be placed
in a box not less than twelve feet by
four by three feet, provided with a
rain proof cover and emptied at in
tervals not longer than eight weeks.
Inc ordinance was finally passed
without a dissenting vote.

The jury which found Capt. Peter

The jury which found Capt. Peter
c. Hams guilty of manslaughter has
indicated not only the defendants
sanity. but its own, argues the New
York Post. Here at last are twelve
men who, on entering the jury box,
have not wholly left behind them the
principles of common sense, the ele-
mentary dictates of morality, and
the dimmest regard for the law. Let
US confess that our satisfaction at
. the outcome is all the greater be-
cause the verdict was not what was
expected. 1t seemed utterly vain to
hope that the spell which a mawkish
sentiment has cast over the hearts
and minds of American jurymen
could be broken, and especially in the
present case. For all the elements
necessary to pervert the ends of JUS
tice seemed combined in favor of the
defendant. He had on his side that
notorious "unwritten law to which
we have been blindly subscribing.
He was man of sufficiently high
social standing to inf1ict bitter shame
and pain on father who had at
tanned distinction in the service Of
his country. His family's deep an
guish was splendidly paraded by as
tute counsel before the jury. If und-
er such circumstances a verdict of
guilty was found, it raises the hope
that the reign of lawlessness has
been definitely broken. Jurors are
ordinary men and have the ordinary
mans small allowance of moral
courage. They find it easy to sub
scribe to prevailing sentiment, no
matter how vicious it's effects. Now
that one jury has shown the way,
others must follow. We may yet
see an end of this whole farce of
legalized murder. The defendant
tainted with hereditary insanity, the
expert with mis- hypothetical question
and his far from hypothetical fee,
eloquent counsel pleading for the
''unwritten law" the yellow press
Judging and acquitting on its own
account, may soon form a useful pro-
cession toward the limbo Of forgot
ten things.

The Dakota homecoming Ito be
held in Aberdeen June 16, II and 10,
is attracting attention all over the
country, east and west, wherever old
time residents back in territorial
days are now living. Particularly is
this true of the Pacific coast states,
where many of the early pioneers
are now living. The railroads have
agreed to the following reduced
rates: One fare and third from
all points in North and Soutn Dako-
ia A $50 round trip rate from Seat
tie. Portland and other northwest
points to St. Paul and homeseekers'
rates from St. Paul, to Aberdeen.
California points, S73 round trip rate
to St. Paul and homeseekers' rate
from St. Paul. Regular homeseek-
ers' excursion tickets from Chicago
and all points west will be sold Tues
day, June 15 This rate is a fare and
half, plus 81. Western coast tickets
will be placed on sale June l to 5,
inclusive, good returning up to o.

the railroads have agreed to stop
over privilege on all tickets from the
east to the exposition at Seattle. The
citizens Of Aberdeen are making

Total acres 37,5


The big farms look their best, Mr.
Chaffee said, and while in seasons
past there has been too much water
scarcely any complaints of excess
moisture have been heard this year
Three features of unusual interest
appear in the seeding down of these
lands. Diversifcation is more pro-
nounced. In former years the land
would have gone mainly into wheat.
The comparatively small acreage of
barley is another feature. Barley
has been a profitable crop in the
northwest, and it was thought that
Minnesota, North and South Dakota
would this year have large acreage
than ever. The proposed reductions
of the import duty may have had
some effect.
Unusual Corn Showing.
The third surprise is the large por-
ton allotted to corn. North Dakota
has made progress as corn state,
but is still thought of as being too
far north. Much of it is fodder corn.
The distribution of seed on the
Armenia & Sharon lands cannot be

Dakota as a whole. The division in
Cass, Richland, Trail, Grand Forks,
Walsh and Pembina, the six Red
river counties, may differ greatly
from the allotments in the tier below
the Canadian line. If the. figures
from the Armenia & Sharon lands
were, however, so applied, the show
ing would be that North Dakota will
have a larger fax acreage, much
more land in corn and oats, less bar
ley than at first expected and much
smaller acreage in wheat than last
wear

OPPOSED TO CHANGE.
Georgetown Citizens Satisfied With
Form of Government.


The Georgetown Citizens Association at
meeting last evening in Fishers Hall
went on record as opposing any change
in the form of government in the Dis
trict. The action was by resolution. in
troduced by John Hadley Doyle and sec
onded by A. X. Paris. After preliminary
remarks it was adopted with only one
dissenting vote
Just because some one makes a sue
cess as mayor of an Oshkosh or a kala-
mazoo it is proposed that he be eligible
for appointment to govern the District
George H. King remarked. The plan
may be all right in theory. but it would
hardly suit the sound-thinking men of the
District
In opposing the resolution Secretary
Leetch asserted that almost any other
method of government, in his opinion
would be preferable to the present. He
further opposed the resolution, he said
on the ground that the association should
give more time to It's consideration.
The preamble of the resolution sets
forth that the question has been generally
agitated by different organizations of the
District and as a result hardly any two
of the organizations referred to are in
accord in regard to the details of the
proposed change 1t points out that
change in government his recommended
tions to Congress are based on 1.-The in
vestigations and theories of one who has
only been resident Of the District
short time.
A re SOLUTION that Congress be asked to
school site adjacent to the Jackson School
in r street was introduced by L. p South
erland. and adopted. 1t was referred to
the proper committee for presentation.

NEW SCHOOL BUILDINGS.
Cooke, Mott and Bryan Structures
Near COMPLETION.

Books on reading, riting and 'rithmetfc.
to say nothing of those on geometry, his
tory and other subjects. were opened
again yesterday by the school children of
Washington. after being closed since De-
cember %, All the public schools re-
sumed sessions after the holiday vaca-
ton. and teachers and pupils began with
vim the long stretch of teaching and
studying which will continue with only
small interruptions until June
Three new school buildings are RAPIDLY
nearing completion and it is expected
that at least one of these will be used
after the beginning of the second half
year. The Henry D. Cooke building on
18th street, near Lamont street will be
finished in about two weeks, and Supt
Stuart Is making plans to have several
classes assigned to 1t for the second term
1t is not likely that all the sixteen rooms
will be used this year, as the transfer
of sufficient number of pupils to fill
the school would, 1t is believed, interfere
with the school work Of classes we'll be-
gun in the years work In their present
quarters.
The new Bryan structure near Lincoln
Park will be finished in about four weeks,
and the new home Of the Lucretia Mott
School near the Howard University cam
pus will be ready for occupancy in about
six weeks. 1t is expected that the classes
of the Mott will be moved into the new
building as soon as 1t is completed, as the
present claSsrooms are in a wooden and
dilapidated structure, and it is regarded
as desirable that it's use be given up as
soon as possible
