In a hotly-contested game of foot- ball Saturday afternoon, the Grand Rapids high school football team defeated the Bemidji high school football team by a score of 20 to 5. ‘The two teams put up a good game, but the visitors were too fast for the locals, they evidently having enjoyed the benefits of good coach- ing. In the first half of the game, Captain Getchell of the Bemidji team ran the entire length of the field for a touch-down, and it looked as though the game was going to be a walk-over for Bemidji all the way through, but there was a sudden reversal of form on the part of the visiting team. After the lineup when the first touch-down had been made, a fumble on the part of Grand Rapids was followed by one of the visiting team getting the ball and going over for a touch-down. The ball was again kicked off and the Grand Rapids players at once swept down the field to the Bemidji goal for a touch-down, shortly after which time was called for the first half. Score—Grand Rapids 10, Bemidji 5. In the second half Grand Rapids made two more touchdowns, mainly through the elegant line smashing of Meyers, Grand Rapids’ star player. It was nearly dark when the whis- tle blew terminating the second half and ending the game, with the score 20 to 5, in favor of the visitors. The line-up of the two teams was as follows: Brenaman. ..« .. Covrvvnnnnn reaching Bemidjiat 10 o’clock last evening. The trip was made without acci- dent, and contrary to general expec- tations the roads were very fair. The doctor and Mrs. Morley left on their return trip this forenoon. “‘Irish Pawnbroker” Wednesday Night. Marquette, Mich., Daily Mining Journal: Murphy, Murphy and Murphy in the “Irish Pawnbroker,” at the opera house, upheld the repu- tation which had proceded them to Marquette. The play was laugh- able, wholesale and ingenious, and the big audience to which they played went home thoroughly | pleased. The Visiting High School Eieven Was | Numerous specialties were intro- duced throughout the play,':‘nmong which were songs and jigs and dances of all sorts. There was clog dancing, soft ishoe “dancing and break-downs, all of which were hugely enjoyed. The three Masqueria sisters in the Mexican dance, with castinets and tambourines,were repeatedly recalled An attractive feature of the show was the whistling of John Maloney. HY ano RP.“f 1 _/J HERE WE ARE BACK AGAIN." These specialties were woven into a laughable plot. Ryan’s daughter in the play, Mary Ellen Ryan,writes alove letter to McKenna's son, which falls into the hands of the senior McKenna instead of getting into the hands of the Junior. The senior McKenna immediately thinks that Mrs. Ryan is in love with him and proceeds to fix himself up and begin a flirtation with Ryan’s wife, much to her annoyance. In the three acts there is much merriment caused by McKenna trying to make love to Mrs. Ryan, Mrs. Ryan try- ing to avoid him, and Mr. Ryan feeling that his wife is guilty, tries to trap them. “Tne Irish Pawnbroker” will appear at the City Opera House ‘Wednesday evening.

The members of the two teams attended a show at the opera house in the evening. A dance was given in the hall, at the close of the show. A return game will be played at Grand Rapids on November 3. R. W. Reed, the local photog- rapher, has volunteered to furnish to the team, free of charge, a large photo of the local team, 18x20, to be placed in the high school room, if the Bemidji boys win the game to be played at the Rapids. The Crookston High School foot- ball team will play here next Satur- day. In an Auto From Crookston. Dr. G. A. Morley of Crookston, a specialist in the treatment of eye, ear, nose and throat, spent last night in this city, in company with Mrs. Morley. The doctor has the distinction of being the first autoist who has ever came over from the Red River Val- ley country to the pine land by modern methods of travel. The doctor owns a fine automobile, and he made the entire trip from Crooks- ton to Bemidji in his “machine.” In company with Mrs. Morley, the doctor left Crookston at9 o’clock yesterday morning. He went to Gentilly and from there to McIntosh} Pretty Dry Cork. Chas. Decker, exalted ruler of Bemidji Lodge, No. 1052, B. P. O.

The funeral will be held at the Norwegian church, ‘tomorrow after- noon, at 2 o’clock, and the body will be buried in Greenwood ceme- tery. BREAKS ALL RECORDS Steamer Lusitania Now Undis- puted Queen of the Sea. FIRST “FOUR-DAY” VESSEL Crosses Atlantic in Considerably Less Than Five Days; Also Makes New Records for Average Hourly Speed and the Longest Daily Run, New York, Oct. 1 .—Four days, 19 hours and 52 minutes out from Queenstown, with every transatlantic speed record in her possession, the majestic Cunard liner Lusitania swept by Sandy Hook lightship at 1:17 a. m. and after a pause off the bar to await daylight steamed slowly up the har. bor to recelve the recognition of her right to the title of queen of the sea. Three records were written down in her log book, two of them wrested from her great German rivals and one from the swift Lucanfa of her own line. They were the shortest time from any European port to New York, thence toFosston and eventually the fastest average speed for any transatlantic voyage, 23.99 nautical miles per hour, and the longest dally run, 617 mautical miles, Translated into land miles her speed average for the run was 27.60 miles an hour. Her achievement is a triumph for British shipbuilding and sailors and may mark the passing of the old fashloned re- clprocating engine and the beginning ot the universal installation of the turbines, which have made it possible for this ship to carry all records by the board. Her arrival was greeted with the hoarse salute of many steam craft, to which she responded with the hoarse roar of her own siren. New Records Made by Lusitania. The records which she has broken were that held by Kaiser Wilhelm II of the North German Lloyd line, which -crossed from New York to Plymouth at an average speed of 23.58 knots, as compared with the Lusitanla’s 23.99; that held by the Hamburg-American liner Deutschland of & days, 11 hours and 54 minutes from Cherbourg to New York; that held by the Cunard liner Lucania, which crossed from Queenstown to New York in 5 days, 7 hours and 23 minutes. Besides the Lusitania has broken her own record of 5 days and 54 minutes made on her maliden trip from Queenstown. The Lusitania in her daily runs ex- ceeded on two days the record of 601 knots previously held by the Deutsch- land. The new Cunarder is the first “four- day boat” to enter New York harbor, having completed the passage in less than five days, shortening the record, held by the Lucania, by more than eleven hours. During the voyage 323 firemen, un- der orders to work to their limit, fed the furnaces between 950 and 1,000 tons of picked British navy Welsh coal each day in order that the Cu- narder might become the first four- day ship to cross the Atlantic. ADMITS SHE IS A THIEF, Wife of Millionaire Makes Remark- able Confession, Chicago, Oct. 1 .—In a remarkable confession to the police Mrs. Charles Ramadka of Milwauiee, wife of a mil- lionaire manufacturer, admitted that she was responsible for a series of burglaries and petty thefts that has baffled the authorities for weeks. Mrs. Romadka’s confession followed her arrest on a charge of robbing the home of C. E. Beck, where jewelry valued at more than $1,000 was stolen. She implicated in her peculations a negro, Albert Jones, and a man known as “Ralph Smith.” The former is un- der arrest and the police are search- ing for the latter. USELESS IN BAD WEATHER British Army Airship Dismantled Dur- ing a Storm. London, Oct. 1.—The British army airship, which has been lying on the grounds of the Crystal palace since its cruise over London Saturday last, un- able to ascend again on account of rain and adverse winds, was slightly damaged during a gale, necessitating her dismantling. Great disappolut- ment is expressed at its inability to return to Aldershot through the air, but the experience of the week has shown that such airships are useful only when the weather conditions are favorable. Episcopal Convention. Richmond, Va, Oct. 1 —At the sixth days’ session of the Episcopal convention important matters were discussed in both houses and an in- teresting missionary meeting was held by the woman’s auxiliary. The most important action taken by the house of bishops was in voting down the mo- tion made by the bishop of Albany making still more stringent canons on marriage and divor:e. The men’s of- ering was announced at a great meet- ing. It amounted to $775,000. PROOF OF HER INNOGENCE Mre. Hartje Declares Husband Has Made Many Offers to Settle. Pittsburg, Oct. 1,—“] am happy in the thought that nothing can ever force me to live with Augustus Hartje again. Does he expect me, innocent as I am, to admit that I am guilty? I would not think of such a thing it he were ready to give me every dollar of his fortune. Mr. Hartje has made me four different offers of settlement since I have been at Ligonier. The last one was a positive offer of $10,000 3 year for the rest of my life.” These words are credited in an al- leged pergonal interview to Mrs. Mar: Scott Hartje, one of the principals in the Hartje divorce case. The inter- view published here is alleged to have been obtained at Ligonier, Pa., where Mrs. Hartje has been living during the summer. John M.

SIKTEEN MEN PERISH Arctic Steamér Frithjof Lost Off the Coast of Iceland. ENGINEER ALONE ESCAPES Unfortunate Vessel Accompanied the Wellman Expedition to Spitzhergen and Was Returning to Norway at the Time of the Disaster. Copenhagen, Oct. 1..—The Aretic steamer Frithjof, which accompanied the Wellman Chicago Record-Herald expedition to Spitzbergen, was lost off Cape Langenes, Iceland, Oct. 5.

FIGHT FLAMES IN MIDOCEAN Steamer Narrowly Escapes Destruc- tion by Fire. New York, Oct. 11.—The Austrian | steamer Giulia, which arrived during the day from Trieste with 763 passen- gers, had a narrow escape from de- struction by fire in midocean during 2 violent storm on Oct. 3. The crew fought the flames all day before they were extinguished, while the panic stricken passengers prayed for help. The Giulia left Trieste Sept. 14, calling at Patras and Almerla. After passing Gibraltar Sept. 26 the steamer encountered stormy weather, with heavy seas. At daylight on the morn- ing of Oct. 3, while about 700 miles west of the Azore islands, one of the crew discovered fire in the cargo at the bottom of No. 2 hold. The wind was blowing violently from the south- Wwest and the Giulia was laboring heav- fly. Captain Cherubini ordered part of the cargo broken out and water was turned into the hold, but the fire stubbornly resisted the efforts of the crew. In the meantime the passengers, of whom there were twenty-seven in the cabin and 736 in the steerage, learned of the danger. Many of them fell on their knees in prayer, while others became hysterical, adding to the cares of the harrassed officers and crew Wwhen every effort was necessary to save the ship and her big company. The ship’s boats were prepared to meet any emergency, but after the hold had been flooded and part of the cargo thrown overboard the fire was extinguished about 8 o’clock in the afternoon. MRS. CHADWICK DYING. End Expected to Occur Within a Few Hours. Columbus, O., Oct. 1.—Mrs. Cassie Chadwick, whose financial transae- tions landed her in the penitentiary, is dying. She became worse during the day and the day physician, Dr. Garrett, administered strychnine hypo- dermically to keep her allve. She has been in a semiconscious state for some hours and is believed to be near the end. Her son Emil of Cleveland has been telegraphed to come here as soon as he can get here and her sis- ters, Mrs. S. M. Young and Mrs. Wes- ton of Cleveland, have also been noti- fied of her condition. The doctors say that she apparently can live for a few hours or at most a few days. Every precaution has been taken to prolong her life as long as possible. SKIFF DESTROYED BY FIRE Four of the Seven Occupants Lose Their Lives. Keyport, N. J., Oct. 1,—Four young men, all residents of Perth Amboy, were drowned in Baritan bay, off this place. They were members of a party of seven who left Perth Amboy in a surf skiff to visit Keyport. The boat caught fire and the occupants, being unable otherwise to put out the flames, overturned the skiff. Subsequently four of them perished, three being saved in an exhausted condition by a passing steamer after having clung to the overturned boat for more than two hours. Those who were lost were: Harry Baxter, Edward Olsen, Floyd McHose and Charles Wicksburg. BY ABOUT SEVEN HOURS. Lusitania Promises to Beat Her For- mer Rec wd. New York, Oct. 1.—With every transatlantic speed record broken the peerless Lusitania should arrive at Sandy Hook lightship at 11:10 p. m.,, Just 4 days, 17 hours and 45 minutes actual running time from Daunts rock, off Queenstown. Thus if the swift turbiner maintains the speed average which she has kept up so far she will be the first so-called “four- day boat” that ever crossed the At lantic ocean, for she will have cov- ered the distance of 2,782 nautical miles from Daunts rock to Sandy Hook lightship in six hours less time than five days. This breaks her own westbound record, made on her maid- en trip, by more than seven hours and places all speed records to the credit of the British builders and the com- mander of the new giant steamer.
