FIFTH MAN WILL SETTLE TIE
Bennett OF DOane COlIeGe IN Elected
secretary-Treasurer Of League
Annual Business Meeting
Held,

LINCOLN, Jan. 2.-(Special Telegram J..
The first regular annual meeting of th$
Nebraska big Four" colleges was held
at the Lincoln hotel in lincoln Saturday
moruning. Representatives Of the athletic
associations of Bellevue Doane, Wesleyan
and Hastings were present and several inn
portant foot ball matters were settled,
among them being the awarding of the
state championship in the future.
For the last fifteen years these four
schools have been contestinE closely, but
with no provision for a final decision other
than assertions in the newspapers.
II was agreed the championship Of the
Big Four league OF the Nebraska Inter
collegiate Athletic association shall be de
termined bya majority vote fthe repre-
sentatives OF the four institutions md
that in case of a tie vote a fifth man,
unanimously agreed upon. shall cast the
deciding vote. All doubt and dssension
have thus been done away with. J. H. Ben
nett OF Doane college was elected secre-
tary-treasurer of the big Four"
The annual business meeting Of the Ne
braska Intercollegiate Athletic association
was held Saturday afternoon at the Lin
dell hotel in Lincoln. Then colleges were
represented. Atherton OF York college was
elected president and Bennett OF Doane
vice president for the ensuing year.
After a lengthy and somewhat heated dis,
cussion, the motion was passed that no
official announcement OF the 1910 foot ball
championship would be made and that in
future no award OF any championship in
any line of athletics except track will be
made. This, however. in no way inter-
feres with the decisions of the Big -Four
in foot ball.
Schedules for base ball and track meets
in Nebraska were made out as far as pos
sible. Conditions indicate unusual athletic
activity among the colleges OF the state
this spring.

WHEELERS we're HURT
Or. Ernest Wheeler and Wife, Form
erIy of Fargo, Victims of Auto
Accident.

Friends of DR.. and Mrs. Ernest G..
Wheeler, former well known residents
Of Fargo, will regret to hear that
they were both quite badly injured in
an auto accident A news item from
Tacoma, Wash, says: DR.. and Mrs.
Ernest c. Wheeler were victims of an
automobile collision at North Eighth
street and Yakima avenue at $50 last
evening. Both were thrown out of
their car and at the Fannie Paddock
hospital, where they were subsequently
removed, it was found that the physi-
clans right leg had sustained a COM
pound fracture and his left ankle was
badly sprained. Mrs. Wheeler escaped
with broken left arm. Jimmy Lyon
and a youth named Hope were the or
cupants of the other car, but although
Lyon was unseated by the impact
neither of them was hurt.
Lyon, who is a son of John f. Lyon
was at the wheel of the big seven-pas-
senger car owned by his father. He
said last night that he was driving
down Yakima avenue towards town at
moderate speed on the right side of
the road when the small roadster
runabout driven by DIR. Wheeler sud
denly flashed across his path as the
big machine was crossing North Eighth
street.
The small car containing the physi-
clan and his wife wos struck amidships
before the brakes could be applied
and both occupants were thrown sew
eral feet into the road.

"OBEDIENT PARENTS
Pastor Says That This Is Now the
Case-Spoke at the Luth.
eran Meeting.

A very interesting meeting was held
at the First Lutheran church last even
ing, Rev. o. C. Farseth very ably intro
duced a discussion of the fourth COM
mandment, laying especial stress upon
the duties of parents to their children.
The speaker emphasized the import
ance of bringing up children as Gods
children.
This introduction was followed by an
address by Rev. John Peterson, who
declared and very much deplored, that
we are living in an age of ''obedient
parents" He then went on to show
that parents should carefully consider
their position as parents, also this,
that God has placed them in this posi-
ton that they should train their chill
dren for the christian walks in life.
These discussions were listened to by
a very attentive audience. The meet
ings will be continued this evening at
o'clock, Wednesday, Thursday and
Friday evenings.
A friendly invitation to attend these
meetings is extended to all.

lice matron be inaugurated. This was
received and placed on file.
At this time someone preached the
subject of the filtration plant and soon
the aldermen were absorbed in the
water publication methods. The fire
and water committee had intended to
make no report at the meeting last
night, but with the aldermen once i'm
terested in the filtration proposition,
the committee had to give out some
information on the subject.
Frank Anders, the city engineer, told
of his visit to Minneapolis and Chicago.
At Minneapolis he found Mr.. Tanning,
the consulting engineer retained by the
city, to be very ill, and so journeyed
on to Chicago, where he held three
days consultation with c. Arthur
Brown, the sanitary engineer of the
American Steel & Wire Co. However,
since Mr.. Anders' return home, the
death of Mr.. Tanning occurred, and
iii the future Mr.. Brown, will be the
consulting engineer used by the city
in the proposed filtration work, his serv-
ices being donated to the city.
Mr.. Brown had made a number of
recommendations to the fire and water
committee, which the committee had
decided to accept in part, selecting
those points which the members
thought most desired for the use of
Fargo's work. 1t is planned that Mr..
Anders make complete drawings or
the proposed plants and the bids will
be advertised on the strength of his
specifications.
In looking over the plans of the
city engineer, Mr. Brown stated that
they were essentially all right, and
that aside from two minor, yet novel
suggestions, he had nothing to say
regarding any change in the specifi.
cations. He gave Mr.. Anders some
valuable suggestions which will be
used by the city engineer as he pro-
crosses with his work.
A number of the members OF the
council were anxious to have Mr..
Anders so to Lorraine, o., where MIR.
Browns office is located, and have the
local engineer go right into the draft
ing room and work with the consulting
engineer. However, it was learned
that Mr.. Brown would not be avail
able for such work until the middle
of March, which cut short the idea.
Mr.. Anders will proceed with the
drawing of the plans and complete
them in detail, bids being advertised
for. on the basis of his specifications.
Mr.. Brown will come to Fargo and
view the plans in their entirety, be-
fore the bids are called for by the
city.
The council adjourned to meet at
the call of the mayor, who will hold
a meeting as soon as the plans Of Mr..
Anders are completed.

JUDGE ENGERUD
GETS COMMISSION
JUDGE ENGERUD RECEIVES HIS
APPOINTMENT AS UNITED
STATES DISTRICT ATToRNEY-I
WAS SWORN INTO THE OFFICE
TODAY.

Edward Engerud, one, Of the best
known men in the legal profession in
the state of North Dakota, has re-
.ceived his commission as United States
attorney for the district of North Da-
kota. He was sworn into the office to-
day by Clerk of the Federal Court
Montgomery.
The commission arrived here Sun
day, and owing to. the fact that Judge
Engerud was out Of the city. he was
not able to avail himself of the privil-
eyes OF the new offices until today.
Last night re returned nome from
Wahpeton and found the commission
swaiting him.
The first official act Of the new
United States attorney was to approve
q number of leases for public build
ings. Deputy United States Marshal
Stout appeared at the Office of the at.
torney early this morning, asking the
private secretary Of tho attorney TO
have the leases signed by the United
States attorney, as soon as he was
sworn into the office.
Incidentally, Judge Engerud as the
new United States attorney for the
district Of North Dakota will be most
favorably received for the district Of
North Dakota will be most favorably
received by all the lawyers throughout
the state. Judge Engerud's long career
before the bar and his service on the
bench of the North Dakota supreme
court, makes him we'll fitted for the
position to which he has been selected.
Probably no other man in the state
could have been selected, who would
cause such universal satisfaction to
the North Dakota attorneys. as Judge
Engerud. He is a member of the law
firm of Engerud, Holt G. Frame.

WHAT IS MONEY TO
BE EXPENDED FOR?
EVERY N. D. DOCTOR is ASKED TO
CONTRIBUTE $40 FOR THE PUR.
POSE OF cRoWDING MEDICAL
BILL THROUGH LEGISLATURE
WHAT is MONEY FoR2

At the bottom of recent letter sent
to every physician in the state by the
legislative committee of the North Da-
kota Medical association is this signifi-
cant postscript: IF you have not al
ready contributed your TEN DOL
LARS TO THE LEGISLATIVE FUND
please DO so AT ONCE"
If any one Is so mistaken as to be-
lieve that the physicians who are work.
ing tooth and nail to foist upon the
people of this state a bill which will
make the regular" physicians sole ar
biters of the form of treatment that
may be used in healing the sick that
little clause ought to dispel any illu-
sions which have found Judgement in
the mind.
Ten dollars from each physician in
the state is a great sum of money in
the aggregate. What is to be done
with this money? What ia the neces-
sity of a great legislative fund? Is 1t
contribution or an investment? Who
Is to get it, what channels Of legis-
lative procedure will it find its way
into? Just imagine all the practition-
ers in the great state of North Dakota
and see the sum of money that $40
from each one or even majority of
them means. Where is the necessity
for such sum for legitimate methods
in the "disinterested" work the "regu-
lar physicians are doing to pass the
medical bill?
The question that naturally arises is
this; If, as it is so touchingly argued
by those who will benefit by the pas
sage Of this act which is designed
wholly for the purpose of forming a
medical trust that will be able to die
tate more absolutely to the people of
this state just what form of healing
shall be employed in caring for the sick
than the beef trust Is able to dictate
the prices of food, there is any demand
for the bill why not let that demand
rather than money make the passage
of the bill certain? Our legislators
are intelligent men; they know If their
constituents are being harmed by drug
less healing. If there is any great de-
mand for the bill it will be found to
be confined wholly to the great number
Of medical practitioners in the state
who see in the passage of the bill adj
ditional income for themselves.
