SHOCK FROM BRASS BED
DR.. n. J. LATTE of Fergus Falls Re-
oeives q Dangerous Electric Shock
In Bedroom Of His Home.

DR.. H. j. LATTE met with remarks
able and extraordinary accident in his
home on Mill street south, Fergus
Falls, Monday evening. He had an
electric light hanging over the brass
bed in which he slept. the wire being
wound around a portion OF the brass
work of the bed. and as he was about
to retire, he placed his hand on the
bed and stepped on an iron register In
the floor. The electric light wire had
apparently come in contact at some
outside point with a. wire carrying a
heavier current. and it was also in
direct contact with the brass bed. The
register in the floor had a great metal
connection with the furnace below and
this in turn was built into the ground.
When the doctor touched the bed and
at the same time stepped on the reg
lister, a circuit was formed and heavy
current passed through his body. The
shock was instantaneous and he fell
heavily to the floor.
A physician was summoned and re-
storatives were applied, but for some
little time, fears were entertained for
his recovery. He was unconscious for
nearly a hour. After this, he rallied
gradually and is now coming out al
right but is still confined to his bed.
The shock was SO great that the
current burned the bottoms of his feet
quite severely and also burned his
back to some extent. Had he not fallen
and thus broken the connection, death
would have resulted in few seconds.

The Rlvsr Lower Today.

While Observer Grasse faithfully
records the stage Of the river daily,
he does not think the figures are abso-
lutely accurate, as the water stage is
affected to greater or lesser extent
by the dam at the Fargo waterworks.
Todays reading was s.3. Yesterday
1t was 81 and the observer thinks that
the latter higher figures were made
by the movement of the ice above the
dam. and the release of 1t on Monday
night, as 1t was packing against the
timbers of the foot bridge and gave
more free access for the water above
the dam. 1t is thought that the rains

viii supply a surplus which will find
it's way into the river and give It a
good supply.

Want A new
HIGH SCHOOL
BOARD OF EDUCATION SELECTS
MORE TEACHERS AND coNsID-
ERs REQUEST FOR NEW HIGH
SCHOOL BUILDING QUESTION
FOR THE VOTERS.

At an adjourned meeting Of the
board Of education last night a dele
cation OF three ladies, Mesdames Rus
sell, Robertson and Sweningsen, was
present to discuss with the board the
question Of the erection of q new high
school building, which the ladies urged
was absolutely necessary, as in their
opinion the present structure was in all
respects wholly inadequate. The rea-
sons for new building, given by the
ladies, were all tenable, but the ladies
had to learn that 1t was not absolutely
within the power Of the board of edu-
cation to undertake so large q matter
on their own initiative. The voice Of
the people had to be heard and only
by their votes could the required LA
bility be undertaken. The board had
no money and no way of getting any
except through the medium provided
by law. Bonds would have to be is
sued and they would have to be au-
thorized by the taxpaying people of
the city. The position of the board
was fully explained, and more, it was
voiced that the school managers ap-
preciated as much as anyone in the
city that a new building was needed,
but it was a question whether 1t could
be undertaken for year or two, for
1t meant an expenditure of at least
800, 900 to $4,000. However, IL the
people of the city can be shown the
immediate necessity for new high
school and vote favorably for bonds in
the legal way. the board win gladly do
their part. but a creation of public
sentiment is necessary.
The following new teachers were en-
gagged; John Kenneth Williamson, Of
Luverne, Mimi, science teacher; Miss
Nellie I. Mangen of the st. Cloud nor
NAL school, and Miss Thompson, now
of the Red Lake Falls schools, to be
grade teachers
