Double Vaudeville at Brinkman. Manager Brinkman wishes to announce that on tomorrow night he will present a double company of vaudevillists. The DeLoys will appear with Mansfield Bros., sharp- shooters, with a company of seven people tomorrow night, promising one of the best performances ever put on in the city, The troupe will produce the funny farce comedy entitléd, “Dr. Dipple’s Retreat.” New moving pictures will be shown at the Brinkman this evening and will be very good. They are as follows: “Dog Friends,” “Magnetic Removal” and “Humanity Through Ages.” The talented E. Homan Estell will sing the pretty illustrated song entitled, “It Is Great to Be a Soldier Man.” Remember the hot weather makes no difference with the Brinkman, the prices remain the same. An electric fan is running continually for the comfort of pa- trons. Manfield Bros., the sharp- shooters, who have been at the Brinkman for several days, are pleasing the audiences very much with their fine exhibition of marks- menship. Come and see them, it is worth the price of admission alone. A Card to the Public. In these stirring days the practical in education takes precedence. .That knowledge is power is true only when it gives direction to activity. You cannot make an energetic business man by cramming his memory. Stuffed birds do not sing. But a small per cent of the youths of our land can be accommodated in the already over-crowded professions. ‘The many are preparing to fight the battle of life along other lines. The great commercial world presents the most attractive field. The age is practical and demands practical men and women. A business apprentice at 17 is a serf at 30, a flunkey at 40, and a waif at 50. Success in business means more than 1t does in any other field of endeavor. The Bemidii Business College will make you able to skip the window- washing and errand running degrees in your promotion. How many young men and women of Bemidji realize this? Will you kindly drop me a line if you are interested? A. E. Stossmeister. “ Presbyterian Church Notice.

This morning’s mail brought the subjoined letter from Hon. S. F. Alderman of Brainerd, state senator from the 48th senatorial district, con- cerning the establishing of a new business college in this city: “Brainerd, July 20, 1908. “C. J. Pryor, Bemidji, Minn. “My Dear Mr. Pryor:—I notice by a recent issue of your paper that you are to have a good business school in your city. When properly conducted these institutions perform a valuable service to a community. In these times a young man can afford to practically drop everything untill he secures a thorough busi- ness training. He is helplessly handicapped without it. “I see Mr. Stossmeister has the undertaking in charge, which means that it will be conducted on a high plane of excellence. “—S. F.

The wife’s old chum was there and met the husband for the first time. “‘Really,’ she said on presentation, ‘I quite feel that I have known you. You see, that picture of yours in foot- ball costume that Jennle always kept on her dresser so long was very fa- miliar to me.’ “Say, you ought to have seen the face of that friend of mine. But he finally found his voice. “‘But, my dear Miss Smith,’ he re- plied, ‘T never was a football player and never had on a football costume.’ “Then you should have seen Miss Smith’s face.”—New York Globe.

Animals Are Not Proud. Professor Schuster asserts that ani- mals lack moral feeling entirely, none of their acts belng immoral or moral in the broad sense, and that they have no trace of a sense of shame or of honor. Thelr courage, he declares, Is “a mere Impuise of nature,” and of moral cour- age they know nothing. He continues: “And anlmals have no pride in the sense of man’s conception of that qual- ity.

A. relay race, which began in New York at 10 a. m. last Wednesday, came to & brilliant close in the city hall here. The silver tube carrying the mes- #age of Mayor McClellan: of New York to Mayor Busse of Chicago was carried over the final stretch by Wil lam H. McCabe of the Evanston Y. M. C. A. McCabe received the mes- sage at La Salle and Monroe streets, but had a hard time of it making his way along the two blocks to the city ‘hall. He was compelled to stop sev- eral times by street cars and wagons and as he expressed it “I made no time at all.” The eager faced youth was cheered as he dodged hither and thither in a desperate endeavor to avoid delay. At the city hall McCabe came under the protecting shelter of & squad of policemen, who kept the crowds at a respectable distance. Thus ended the race of 1,000 miles by hundreds of boys ranging in age from twelve to twenty-one years. The distance was covered in 119 hours and 22 minutes. BLACK HAND INSURANCE. Tenement House Owners in New York Take Out Policies. New, York, July 22.—A new form of Insurance recently issued by Lloyds of London is “Black Hand” insurance, which has recently been taken out by lease holders in New York in the distriots where dynamite outrages have been most frequent, for the rea- son that ordinary fire insurance is no protection against damage from ex- plosions unless it is followed by an actual fire. It is sald that “Black Hand” policies have recently been taken out to cover a number of the Astor tenement house properties in New York. TWO ARRESTS MADE IN THE GOULD CASE Mieged Attempt to Manufac- fure Evidence, T New York, July 22—According to the statement made by a milliner’s apprentice, Miss Mabel B. McCaus- land, a remarkable plot was revealed to manufacture evidence against Frank J. Gould in the suit for divorce which his wife, Helen Kelley Gould, recently brought against him. Two arrests were made by the district at- torney’s office. Harry S. Mousley, a private detective, and Miss Julia Fleming are the persons arrested. The police also expressed a desire to qQuestion Mrs. Ben Teal, wife of a well known stage manager. The arrests were made under dramatic circum- stances in an apartment house in Fif- ty-ninth street, near Seventh avenue. The first known of the plot was when Miss McCausland approached Mr. Gould’s attorneys and told of the alleged plot to injure their eclient. The young woman was then taken to the district attorney’s office and made a full statement of the part she had played in the alleged conspiracy. The substance of the girl's statement was that the matter was broached to her ten days ago, when, it is alleged, Miss Fleming, who represented herself as coming from Mrs. Teal, tried to in- terest her in the scheme. Miss Mc- Causland asserted that she was prom- ised $1,000 if she would make a state- ment compromising ‘Mr. Gould. She had several interviews, she said, with Miss Fleming, Mrs. Teal and Detec- tive Mousley, at which the details of what she was to testify to were dis- cussed. Miss McCausland said she consented to go into the scheme, a statement was drawn up and she slgned it and her signature was wit- nessed by a notary. Later Miss Me- Causland said she became alarmed and decided to notify the authorities. Arrangements were then made to have the girl attend a conference be- tween the alleged conspirators and a detective from the district attorney’s office accompanied her and there made the arrests, WAR LIKELY TO RESULT. Honduras Resents Aid Given Rebels by Nicaragua. Guatemala City, July 22.—Accord- ing to information reaching here from Nicaragua and Honduras these two Central American states are:about to become _plunged in war. The reason for this is the help given by Nicara- gua to the Honduran revolutionists. The outcome of this lamentable de- velopment cammnot, of course, be fore- seen.

Chicago, July 22.—Nearly forty per sons were injured, some of them prob- ably fatally and eleven so severely that they had to be taken to hospitals, in a headon collision between two Au {. rora, Elgin and Chicago cars at Love dale-station, four miles north of Au rora. The disaster occurred when the coaches were each running at a speed estimated at forty miles an hour and the crash when they came together was terrific. The two cars were tel escoped more than.half their length Passengers, among whom were nearly fifty women, were thrown through ‘windows and tossed to the side of the tracks several feet away. Just aftel the wreck occurred the cars caught fire from the trolley wire and began to smoulder, but the uninjured pas sengers soon put out the blaze with water from a mnearby rivulet and dragged the wounded to places of safety. From there the injured were taken to Aurora and nearby farm houses in automobiles and farmers' wagons. The line at the scene of the wreck is a single track one. At Love- dale station is a switch. Here, according to officials of the road, a southbound car from Higin, in charge of Motorman 8. Bell, was sup- posed to stop aRd walt until a north- bound car from Aurora passed it. In- stead of stopping his car, which car- rled from eighty to one hundred pas- sengers, Motorman Bell went ahead. He started down a 10 per cent grade around a curve at the regulation speed of forty miles an hour, thinking, he said, that he had a clear track. Just as he neared the bottom of the grade and swung around the curve the northbound coach on the way from Aurora to Elgin came in sight. It also carried from eighty to one hundred passengers and was running at nearly the same speed as the car approaching it. The motormen of the two -cars turned on the airbrakes, but they did not appear to have worked immediate- 1y and at the last minute, seeing that the collision could not be averted, both of them jumped, rolling down the bank, but escaping with slight injur- ies. Many passengers, who also saw the danger, leaped from the cars and escaped with only a few bruises. MANY TRAMPLED UPON. Fire Causes Panic in a Pittsburg School. Pittsburg, July 22—Fire whick started in the Holmes public schoo! from burning waste paper in the base ment caused a panic among 150 chil- dren attending the vacation term of school. The large bullding rapidly filled with smoke and the children, scream- ing and almost suffocated, rushed from the structure in great disorder. Many of them were thrown down and trampled on. Adding much to the confusion was the action of parents of children living nearby, who, al though choking with smoke, congre: gated in the main doorway and ex- citedly called the names of their chil- dren. L. David Brown and several women teachers barely escaped being over- come, Tiremen were quickly summoned and the fire extinguished with a loss amounting to about $100. ‘With the exception of slight bruises and fright, none of the children were seriously hurt. ROJESTVENSKY NOT DEAD Death of Russian of Same Name the Cause of Mistake. Berlin, July 22.—The announcement from Bad Neuheim, Germany, that Vice Admiral Rojestvensky, who com- manded the ill-fated Russian fleet that was annihilated by the Japanese in the battle of the sea of Japan in May, 1905, had died there the night of July 19 from heart trouble, is incorrect.

Memphis, Tenn., July 22~In a des- perate fight, which lasted ten minutes, Mrs. Mary BE. Forrester choked to death a powerful mad dog which had attacked her. . The dog, a sixty-pound shepherd, standing two feet high, the pet of the neighborhood, attacked Mrs. Forres- ter, who hardly weighs 100 pounds, after he had bitten Miss Mamie Ditto, a neighbor. Mrs. Forrester turned upon the dog as he seized the hem of her skirt and, grasping him under the head, closed her fingers about his neck and began to grip. All over the porch the wom- an and dog fought, the dog several times nearly pulling his captor from the porch. Feebler and feebler be- came the canine’s strength as the fight progressed until finally the mad- dened brute collapsed and fell to the porch dead. WILL NOT EVADE SERVICE Mitchell Discusses Court Citation Al- leging Contempt. Indianapolis, July 22.—John Mitch- ell, former president of the United Mine Workers of America, reached here from the South and left later for his home at Spring Valley, IIl, by way of Chicago. He said he knew nothing about his citation for contempt by the supreme court of the District of Columbia fur- ther than the reference to it he had seen in the papers. “As I understand it,” said he, “I am cited for contempt. As president of the United Mine Workers I was sup- posed to be presiding at the miners’ convention session which adopted a resolution putting the Buck Stove and Range company on the unfair list. I do not know whether I was presiding at the time the resolution was adopt- ed or not. I have made no plans to g0 to Washington, but presumably I shall be there within the next month, as I go there frequently. I shall cer- tainly not change my plans on account of the citation. I shall neither make a special trip there to have the papers served on me nor will I evade service when I go there.” Woman Freed of Murder Charge. St. Paul, July 22.—Margaret White was acquitted, after a preliminary trial in the police court, of the mur- der of George Belmont, a saloonkeep- er.
