Temperance Progress In the indian
Army

The annual meeting OF the govern
ing council OF the Royal Army Tenn
perance association was held lately at
the army headquarters. Simla. under
the presidency of Lord Kitchener The
report for the year was considered to
be most satisfactory. The increase
OF membership was 1850. This was
considered TO be in part due TO the
assistance which the association gives
its members to find employment when
they return to civil life, to the class
OF young soldiers coming out To India.
and also to the spirit In which the or
ganiZation Of the association is car
ried on. II is estimated that over 40 per
cent. of the British troops in India are

MAURICE NELSON

HURT AT oRIsKA ON FRIDAY,
SAID TO HAVE succuMsED TO
INJURIES AT RRAINERD-Ru.
NOR NOT CONFIRMED.

II has been reported about the city
that Maurice Nelson, locomotive fire.
man on the Northern Pacific and a
resident of Fargo, had died at the
company hospital at Brainerd, Mimi,
from injuries received ct Oriska on
FRIDAY night, when he was struck by
an engine and badly injured. This
reuort could not be verified at the
division offices of the company, al
though II was stated that he was not
expected to live Saturday night
Nelson was about 80 years OF age
and had been in the employ OF the
Northern Pacific for some time. Hs
is ouite well known among the rail-
road men in Fargo and Diiworth, but
leaves no relatives in this country, as
far as is known.
on Friday evening Nelson, who was
stocking an engine pulling an extra
freight train, stepped from the cab
while his train was waiting at Oriska.
His train was waiting for passenger
No. 2 to pass and he probably did not
hear this train approaching. How
ever, he stepped too close to the main
track and was struck by the first of
the two engines on No. Z. This loco
motive carried snowplow and this
struck Nelson, fracturing his skull and
otherwise injuring him. He was rush
ed to the hospital at Brainerd, where
he is said to have died Sunday.
1t could not be learned what dispo-
sition will be made Of the body.

uRE WHICH MADE SUCH A HIT
LAST YEAR AND Melted AS
socITIoN A NEAT SUM.

The boys department Of the z. nj.
G. A. is making plans to give another
calendar exhibit and auction sale the
first OF the year. The one given last
year proved very decided success
and the boys are in favor Of another
one.
About this time of the year, the
business men of the city begin to get
out their beautiful advertising calen-
dars, any of which add to the APP
pearance Of a room, and most of the
men are willing TO give the boys one
or more OF their calendars. A great
deal of interest is being aroused in
the enterprise and If the boys re-
spond as they did last year, success
is sure.
The exhibit is conducted by the
boys of the department and all pro-
ceeds go to aid the various features
and enterprises OF that department
The letters to the business men will
be sent out soon and during the
Christmas holidays the boys will col
lect the calendars.
The date for the opening is not
definitely decided upon as yet, but it

PRICES POSITION.

To The Forum: My visit to the city
council Dec. s seems to have aroused
considerable comment, and a good deal
of misunderstanding of my object in
asking our council to take some steps
looking to a change in the health con-
ditions existing in our city at the pres
ent time.
The Forum, in an editorial recently.
conveyed the impression that / was
endeavoring to tell the doctors of the
city their business.
George Hancock, in an article pub
lished in The Forum Dec. 10, would
lead people to believe that I was en-
deavoring to create a lot Of new bust
ness In the plumbing line, and sug-
gests as his panacea the proper venti-
lation and flushing of the sewers in
the streets, as all that is necessary. 1
most thoroughly agree with him as to
the ventilating and flushing of the
city sewers, but why he should think
1T is not necessary to bother with the
interior and most important part of
the sewer system (the plumbing of a
residence or other building) / am at
a loss to understand.
Prof. II. L. Bolley suggests the
abolition OF the street sweeper and
the appointment of a trained bacter-
iologist and the establishing of city
laboratory as his cure-all and in the
same paragraph of Sundays issue of
The Fargo Daily News, says, '1et us
not get worked up for the creation of
two or three more appointive Offices"
Professor Bolley. in another part of
his article, states the following:
Germs, whether diphtheria, typhoid,
or other types, are mighty solid little
particles of vegetable matter. They
may float in air currents when dry but
cannot get off wet surface"
/ will submit to Professor Bolley or
any other Psychologist, If 1t is not
a fact, that where any plumbing fix
ture, bath tub or lavatory, not properly

between the flushingl allowing the
small water seal In the traps to be-
come either impregnated with sewer
air, or become dry, will not this
mighty solid little particle of vege-
table matter" he speaks of, float in
the dry, over-heated air of most of
our residences? If you doubt this
statement, examine the condition of
your cellar drain or other trap, and

tons you will find there examined by
some bacteriologist

condition not theory we have to
confront and il this controversy or
what ever you want to call 1t, will
bring about a change in the present
conditions, such as the proper flush
ing and ventiIating Of the city sewers,
the drafting of an ordinance, govern
ing the connecting of said sewers to
our homes and business blocks, and
above all, the entire elimination of
that miserable abomination, the dry
street sweeper. then my efforts have
not been In vain. even though / am

From what could be learned of the
meeting It seems that they will stand
strictly neutral in the conflict. 1t is
reported that the trainmen will not
do any switching except such as had
been required of them to do prior to
the strike of the switchmen. This
switching Is largely setting out and
picking up cars ar the smaller towns
where there are no switching crews.
They win not do any of the switching
In the terminal or other yards where
regular switching crews had been in
the habit OF doing the work.
According to reports from the meet
ing IL seems that the trainmen will
not approve any action on the part of
the union for a sympathetic strike.
They win continue to work in the old
way and as If there was no strike, on
standing strictly neutral in the con-
troversy.

ton seems to be greatly relieved and
constantly on the mend. Shipments
Of all kinds Of freight are being re-

stock moved over this division of the

that while this good weather lasts

every day. He stated that the COM
pany was moving forward all consign-
ments that were being received from
the local shippers. The same reports
come from the Great Northern.

AIRSH|P TO SCALE POLE

The interest of polar exploration
promises to be closely bound up in
the future with the possibility of at
tanning the goal by means of avia-
ton. Though Andree' paid with his
life for a premature attempt to reach
the pole in a balloon, there seems a
strong and increasing probability
that success will ultimately be at
tanned by means of a dirigible tir-
ship, says the London Times.
That the airship, however much
improved along its present lines, will
ever be used for commercial pur-
poses or become more than an ac-
cessory of warfare, though possibly
a very formidable one, seems so far
doubtful. 1t does not promise to be
serviceable for the transport either
of men or of freight in mass. But it
seems we'll within the range of it's
capacity in the near future to carry

ton of a few hours or days to a de-
