Resolution of the County
Board Disseminating the
Service of the Duluth
Telephone Company.
By Commissioner Ryan:

By Commissioner Ryan:
WHEREAS, few years ago the
Duluth Telephone Company, in
order to induce the County to use
its telephones in the Court House
and other County Offices, offered to
furnish its service for $1,000 per
year per instrument, and the County
accepted such offer and that ar
rangement has ever since con-
tinued until November 1, 1909,
when the company notified the
County that such agreement would
no longer be recognized or per
formed by the company,
AND WHEREAS, it was de-
sirable to have a private exchange
in the new Court House, with one
operator, and one complete interior
telephone system owned by the
County, and said company was
given the opportunity to furnish
it's service and trunk lines to said
County switchboard and interior
system upon the same terms and
conditions and price as the Zenith
Telephone Company, WHICH WAS
THE REGULAR RATE WITHOUT RE-
BATE OR CONCESSION,
AND WHEREAS, said Duluth
Telephone Company refused to
accept said offer of the County, or
to make any rate or arrangement
but the flat price of $54.0O per
instrument, connecting with no
SWITCHBOARD BUT RUNNING A
SEPARATE LINE INTO THE COURT
HOUSE FOR EACH INSTRUMENT.
NOW, THEREFORE. 1t is
resolved that on January 1, 1910,
all telephones of the Duluth Tele-
phone Company in the Court House
be abandoned and its service wholly
discontinued therein, and in every
County Office, and that no occupant
of the Court House shall have or
maintain any instrument or line of
the Duluth Telephone Company,
whether charged to the County or
furnished without price.
Commissioner Ryan moved the
adoption of the resolution and it
was declared adopted upon a I'm
animous vote of all present.
A similar resolution was adopted
by the County Building Commits
sion, custodian of the St. Louis
County Court House.

CARRIED DEAD WIFE TO BED.
Brutal French Husband Did Not Real.
lie He Had Killed Her IN
Fit Of Rage.

Several cases have occurred re.
Gently in Paris of wife beaters doing
their better halves to death, but the
instance which has just now come
under the notice of the police can
scarcely have a parallel. Not only
did an irascible husband beat his
wife to death for simply singing
song in a neighbours room, but he
carried her, dead as she was, into
bed and slept beside her without
knowing that she was a corpse. He
had gone, as usual, to spend the eve
ming at wineshop, to drink and
play cards, but returned home earlier
than was his custom. He found
his wife absent, and was about to
go out in search of her when he
heard her singing in a neighbours
room. He got into a fury, broke
into the room, and dealt blows right
and left to his neighbor and wife.
The woman fell down and seemed to
him to be only in a faint. AS she
did not move he lifted her and car
ried her into his room, where he
placed her in the bed. He then went
to bed himself and slept till morn
ing. When he got up he did not pay
any attention to his wife, and went
to his work. In the evening she was
still lying where he had put her,
and only then did he realize that she
was dead. He notified the police,
and medical examination showed
that she must have died Immediately
from blow on the head.

NOVEL KIND OF PIANO.

The dulcitone of Thomas Machell
of Glasgow has the keyboard of a
piano, but the key hammers produce
sound by striking steel forks-like
shankless tuning forks-instead Of
wires. A semi-circular steel spring
carries the vibrations from each fork
to the sounding board. The tone il
softer than that of the piano, but it
has a great clearness and carrying
power, and is adapted for solo play
ing as well as for accompanying
other instruments of the voice. I'M
portant advantages are the lack of
necessity of tuning and the port
ability. A dulcitone of five octaves
weighs but As pounds, but a piano
of the same range has a weight of
25O mounds or mora

BELGIAN COAL MINERS.

While coal is mined at greater
depth in Belgium than in most coun-
tries, the number of miners killed in
accidents is less in that country than
in any other. For the ten-year peri
cd from 1891 to 1900 the number
of fatalities per 10000 workmen was
1854 per annum. In the metallic
ore mines the number of workmen
who have been killed by accident is
one-third that in the coal mines.

busily engaged in tearing down the
upper part of the dock, that is from
the deck of the dock to the bottom
of the ore pockets. The dock will
be rebuilt from that point, and will
be of wood construction. The
local dock is also to have light re-
pairs and extension of three hun
dred feet will be made to the east
end of the dock, thus giving more
storage room for coal at this point
instead of loading it in ore cars
and hauling it up the road and
leave it in cars when they are
needed in the ore service. A large
amount of coal is received annually
for the various mining companies
located on the D. & I. R., and with
additional storage room here will
enable the company to handle its
coal business in better shape.

MAY dam RIVER
At GRAND FORKS
ONLY HEAVY RAINS WILL SAVE
SUPPLY SHOULD FREEZING
WEATHER COME
EARLY,

Grand Forks, N. D., Aug 25.-Unless
there are exceedingly heavy falls of
rain over the Red river valley between
now and the time that the rivers freeze
up, Grand Forks will have TO make ex-
ira provisions for a supply Of water
during the coming winter The river
at its present stage will freeze solid
and there will be absolutely no flow,
so that the seriousness of the situation
Us readily recognized.
Already number of citizens are
interesting themselves in the ques-
ton and one of the plans proposed is
that of creating a dam across the Red
Lake river just below the intake pipe.
This dam would have to be put in
place at an early date and would in
sure water supply for the entire
season.
AS to the details OF the proposed
work, these are very uncertain. The
general plan that is urged by those
interested is to build a large crib the
width of the river, filling 1t with rock
and sinking it to create the dam. 1t
would cost $4,000 to do the work.
Mayor Murphy admitted that the city
would have to take some action on the
Question IL rain in abundance was not
had before the freezing up time, but
he believed that there was SUFFICIENT
time left yet in which to get ready for
the winter II 1t is found that rain is
not to be had.
