LITTLE CHILD WAS
KILLED BY RAT
POISON
Ate of It Tuesday Afternoon
and Died at Midnight
Tragedy Is Sad
FAMILY HAS HAL
WINTER OF ILL LUCK
Father Laid Up For Many
Months by Illness-Funeral
Uncertain Yet
FAMILY HAS HAL
WINTER OF ILL LUCK

Three-year-old Iva Lou Craver,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Charles
Craver. 81 Euclid avenue. died at
midnight Tuesday from the effects of
eating rough on rates, which she had
secured at the home of a neighbor
during the afternoon. The sad
tragedy that has been enacted in the
little home comes as climax to a
winter of ill luck, not the least of
which is the fathers illness which
has prevented him from working for
many months.
Tuesday afternoon the little girl
had gone to the home of neighbor
to play with the children there.
While in the kitchen alone her little
eyes had spied q piece of bread lying
on shelf, and child like, she secured
it. Licking from the bread SUBJ
stance appearing very much like pea
nut butter, but which was in reality
the deadly rough on rates, the child
afterwards continued to play with the
others.
About o'clock the little one went
to her own home and soon became ill.
She vomited several times. becoming
drowsy. and when investigation was
made it was found that she had eaten
of the rat poison at the neighbor's
home. but the discovery was not made
till too late to give the child any hope
of recovery. a physician was called,
however, and everything possible was
done to alleviate the little ones suf-
ferings, but at 1910 o'clock death
came.
Mrs. Charles Kavanaugh, at whose
home the baby ate the poison. was ill
at the time. and is almost Frustrated
with grief at the affair.
In the Craver family. which seems
to have had greatly more than its
share of bad luck this winter, there
are five other children, the eldest be-
ing boy of IL years. They removed
to Grand Forks only last summer, Mr..
Craver being a photographer by
trade. but last fall he had some tooth
trouble which has finally resulted in
his being unable to do any work.
A brother of Mrs. Craver. Sam john
son of Crookston. is expected to ar
rive here this afternoon or evening.
and two sisters from White Bear and
Renville, Minn..are also expected here.
When they arrive. the funeral ar
engagements will be made.

SHOULD WORK IN HARMONY
Concensus Of Opinion is That Judge
Watts Decision Should he Con.
sidered Final.

There seems to be a general senti-
ment throughout the city to the effect
mat the decision Of Judge Watts in
the case involving the mandamus
proceedings brought against City
treasurer Mc1lraith by the commits
sioners should be regarded as final.
Practically all of the business men
OF the city believe It to be for the
best to drop the matter just where, it
stands. as the city is at present en-
gagged In other legal proceedings that
require the attention of the officials.
1t seems to be the concensus of .opin-
ion that the city should now recognize
the power of the commission and the
two bodies work in harmony.

A landau with four men inside and
an extra man on the box drove uu

urday morning. Two OF the men were
officers of the Union Dime SAVING

than $226, 900 In currency and securi.
ties to the banks new building al
Forty-hrst street and Sixth avenue.
bank was opened in the morning, and
the treasure was stored in the great
vault In time to have begun work on
Saturday had the bank Officers desir.
ed. Today will see the bank in full
operation In the new building. Since
the day after Christmas. 1876. the
bank has been at Broadway and Sixth
avenue and Thirty-second street.
The new home Of the institution ID
to possess certain characteristics
that adapt It more thoroughly for
the purpose than any other recent
structure Of its kind.
The vault, rising behind the bank.
ing screen, is the notable point in
the interior. 1t is structurally quite
Independent Of the building. It stands
on its own foundation and cannot be
entered from below. The vault is IL
by % feet and has electric protection
on the top. sides. and bottom. This
protection IL under q coating of
bronze and marble.
First in the electric protection
comes layer Of wood 80 thickly fill
ed with electric wires that the inser-
ton of a knife blade into the wood
at any point would cause the alarm
to ring. Under this wood come the
walls of concrete. 2 LIZ feet thick and
ribbed with interlaced iron bars, and
finally the shell of chrome steel and
iron. This is inches thick.
There are two doors of steel and
iron weighing thirteen tons, but so
adjusted that they may be
moved with one hand. There are
three time locks. A thin layer Of
steel divides the vault into two parts.
One Is for currency and the other for
The wall may easily be
cut through in case one OF the doors
should, through any cause, refuse to
operate.
The electric communication with
the vault leads out Of the building
through a secret joint. but should the
wire be discovered and cut It would
still continue to ring. just as tele-
phone does when the receiver has
been removed. So anybody trying
to get away with any Of the 100000
more or less in cash that will be
usually deposited in the bank. or the
which may be still more
is not going to find it an
easy job.
The two doors Of the vault are in
the eastern and northern walls. and
one is entered from the treasurer's
office. while the other gives directly
on to the space back Of the banking
counter. Mindful of a bank robbery
that took place several years ago
when the robbers watched through
for the minute the treasurer
was alone and then broke into his
office, there are three doors to the
office of the treasurer in this new
bank. and the door leading immedt-
ately to the office cannot be opened
except when the treasurer touches
The button on his desk.

THE UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE.

Now comes gent from Copenhagen
with another universal language,
known as lido. Had Copenhagen de-
sired an additional language to assist
in expressing their regard for DR..
Cook, it would not have been strange.
and they could have received valuable
ideas from almost any able-bodied
army teamster. But this demand for
a universal language seems to lie
chiefly with the linguists who devise
them. and get fame and travelling ex-
penses therefrom. Several of these
have had their day. Esperanto attain
ing perhaps. the widest fame, but. at
that probably fewer people speak it
than talk Hebrew in New York, which
removes it from consideration as a
universal tongue. Volpuk didn't do
so we'll. and lido is apt to fare worse.
English will go on gaining, without
becoming universal. which is. per-
haps, just as we'll, since the interpre-
tiers must live. OF course, there is a
universal language. spoken by all
women who have the right sort Of
eyes. and understood by everybody,
but it isn't of Q kind to interfere
with the professors or interpreters.
THE Ghost of Rag Time," one of
the many song hits of "A Girl at the
Helm" has often received as high as
fifteen encores during a single per-
Torrance, compelling the stage man
ager to ring down the drop curtain to
give the vivacious dancers of the
dainty chorus chance to catch their
breath in order to proceed with the
balance Of the act.

Majority Against 70
With the defeat Of the commission
plan of municipal government by the
foregoing vote Tuesday, Grand Forks
will settle down to the question OF
electing its officers for the coming year
under the same charter that 1t has
operated for SO many years. This
election will be held April 4, thus al
lowing the candidates till March Is to
file their petitions of nomination and
get on the official ballot.
The defeat of the commission plan
after the short campaign was the
cause of great deal Of interest
throughout the state. as the local sit
uation had been watched very closely
by the several cities already operating
under the plan. and by the several
cities that are now considering the
question. Grand Forks is the second
city in the state to vote against the
commission, Fargo having recently
taken such action. turning 1t down by
a majority of only thirty votes, nine
teen less than Grand Forks cast
against the question.
Grand Forks cast very light vote
is compared with the vote cast in the
last general city election. when 2.199
ballots were counted. The total vote
Tuesday was only 967.
Candidates Come Out
Announcement of the defeat Of the
commission plan had hardly been
made before candidates appeared on
the field. One of the first to announce
himself was DR.. H. NJ. Wheeler, who
enters as candidate for the position
OF mayor to succeed DR.. ]. d. Taylor
who recently announced that he
would not again be a candidate. The
candidate is we'll known in
the city and his announcement did
not come as a surprise. as it has been
known for some little time that he con.
sidered the step If the commission
plan was defeated.
Another candidate who has already
formally announced himself is r. j
Hagen. the present city treasurer
who will again seek reelection.
Wheeler Will Resign
The announcement of DR.. Wheele,
that he is a candidate for the positior
OF mayor means that his resignation
from the city council will probably b,
handed in at the next meeting of tha,
body. The election Of two aldermen
from the first ward will then be neces
sary as R B. Griffith, the other mem
Der. completes his term of service I'M
der his election. 1t is possible h,
may be a candidate for re-electio,
next month. Who the other candidate
Will be is decidedly problematical

In addition to the two alderme,
from the first ward, six other alder
men Will have to be elected. TIL

Fifth-K. c. Hunter.

Work at Pembina.
Winnipeg Free Press: G. w. Baker
and G. w. Strathy have returned from
Pembfna. N. D., where on Sunday they
assisted in the inception of the lay
mems missionary movement. MIR.
Baker read the lesson for the vicar
at the morning and evening services,
and also addressed the congregation at
the 8 o'clock service. He spoke of the
place that the bible ought to occupy
In everyday life. and by using apt
illustrations showed how even uncon-
sciously men in business affairs, in
politics and in ocia1 life allowed them
elves to be swayed by the influences
of the bible. Mr.. Strathy presided at
the organ during the services.

BIG GAME AND PROGRESS.

Everyone with a taste for sports
afield who reads the almost thrilling
tales Of Roosevelt, McCutcheon and
other butchers who have journeyed
into the wilds Of Uganda, probably is
filled with desire to go and do like
wise, but the game Of that section has
other protection than the British law
limiting the number of the kill: a
journey thither. and the elaborate
equipment our English cousins have
decided is necessary cost more than q
Dakota farm or world tour. That
will hold most of the embryo MIN
rods for while, at the same time
arousing, perhaps. the regret that big
game passed SO quickly in this land
of the free. In the clear light OF
looking backward, it is evident that
we wasted our natural resources in
disposing of the buffalo, the elk, and
other lesser animals which made the
western plains hunters paradise
thirty years or more ago. But that Is
the chief cause for regret. They had
to go. in the natural course Of events
Civilization and big game never gel
along very we'll together, and particu.
larly such game as the buffalo, which
requires wide range. No one would
care to set this country back to where
1t was when buffalo were numerous
and Africa will be better of when
farmers are as numerous there as
elephants. wart hogs and hippopotam
are today. Meanwhile, If you must
hut big game, you can do SO withou,
vain regrets or q trip to Africa. There
are deer, bear and mountain lion as
near as Colorado. there are moose il
Maine and a few elk in Montana. AnG
these are enough to give you taste
for wild life, and q better appetite
which, after all, are the chief pur'
poses Of big game hunting.

Letters From The People
REPLY TO COLONEL IRISH

Editor Call: Noting the remarks of
Colonel Irishsin your issue of March IL,
while fully aware of the futility of
bandying words with a man of his
capa bilities in the line of distortion of
language, still I desire to say that
have always understood that history is
entitled to the records of the dead in
order to protect the innocent living
from the imposition and duplicity of
those found guilty but who are not
dead yet.
AS for his declaring that abuse of
the dead is not to his taste,' of course
not; he has had better thing in be-
traying the confidence of the living.
Regarding his complaint of the pub
lie exhibition of old sores, have only
to remind him that "it is the CALLED
jade that winces." and suggest that IL
he had not trusted SO much to the eff
ficacy of Uncle Jesse's plasters he
probably would have had no sores now.
