Arrangements May Be Made for Han
dicap Tournament to be Held Here

A meeting of all those interested in
the organization of a gun club will
very likely be called for this evening,
and if possible, the club will arrange
for handicap tournament to be held
here some time this summer. The
meeting would bring from 25 to 80 of
the best trap shooters in the state to
this city for the event. Prizes would
be awarded to the winners.
At the meeting tonight officers will
be elected and some decision will be
made as to the location of the traps.
They are now on the fair grounds but
will be removed from there and will
probably be placed on the grounds
west of the old Antlers hotel building
on the West side.

TOOK POWDER FOR CARBON
Explosion in Stove Results and George
Gerritz is Badly Burned

The resemblance of powder to car
bon was responsible for a painful ac-
cident to George Gerritz Of First ave-
nue. southeast Wednesday morning,
when he threw some powder into a
cookstove in which he had started the
morning fire.
The top Of the stove was blown off
and the doors were blown open, the
flame igniting Mr.. Gerritz's shirt and
burning his right hand and wrist bad
1y, as well as singeing his. face. Just
as the accident happened Mrs. Gerritz
came into the kitchen and quickly
quenched the flames in her husband s
clothing. Mr.. Gerritz states that it
was fortunate that his wife was on
the spot so soon, as at the time he
seemed to be helpless.
MI Gerritz says that the powder
(one-half pound), had been in the
house for 20 years, and had become
caked, that during most of the time
they also had in the house a quantity
of carbon which had been used in the
old style fatiron, and which resem'
bled the powder. About three years
ago Mr.. Gerritz threw away what he
thought was the powder, and on the
morning Of the accident the supposed
to-be carbon fell off a shelf, and Mr.
Gerritz thought he might as we'll get
rid of it also as it was Of no use. He
did and with the above result.

The Sixth District Federated clubs
held a very successful meeting at
Deerwood Tuesday and Wednesday,
about so visiting delegates attending.
The Deerwood ladies did themselves
pround in entertaining the visitors
and the only disappointment was the
weather, bad Windstorm prevailing.

next annual meeting there.
Some very interesting reports were
made by the various delegates, show
ing that some splendid work along
civic lines has been done the past
year. Practically every local club
reported having done something for

DIRECT CURRENT FOR HOSPITAL
EXPERT ENGINEER SAYS DIRECT
CURRENT MOTOR Is AS GOOD
AS 2-PHASE G

A generator and a direct current
motor will likely be installed at the
new Franciscan Sisters hospital here
for the operation Of the elevator, as
the result Of the decision of Mr..
Cooper, an expert electrical engineer
from Minneapolis, who said that che
single phase motor with! genatatorj
and direct current moter, is ju@ as
good as the 2sphase motor.
. The controversy, which is explained
in another column, resulted in the aP
pointing Of a council committee, which
was given power to get an expert cleo
trician from the twin cities to come
and give his expert advice. in the mat
ter. The Water Power company
agreed to abide by his decision, which
covers their contention.
MI. Cooper met with the committee
from the council, Mr. Harris, the ar
chitect, and the elevator man, and
afterward went to the hospital to
make an examination of the building,
etc. Mr.. Cooper stated that in his
opinion the single phase motor, with
generator and direct motor equip
ment is equally as good as ! the
2-phase motor, and costs less to oper-
ate and to install than the 2-phase
motor and line. The cost to the hos
pital, however, in using the one-phase
motor with direct current equipment
will be 5000 more than the 2-phase.
Practically all elevators in the twin
cities are operated by this current,
he said. About the only difference is
that with the 2-phase service the ele-
vator can be started simply with the
operation Of lever, whereas with the
direct current and generator a button
must first be pressed. As to safety,
believed that it is just as safe and
serviceable as the 2-phase motor.
The procuring of single.phase mo.
tor is likely to delay the opening of
the hospital for some time.
AS the parties have reached an
agreement, the committee will not
make a report until a regular meeting
of the council.
