SHAVED HIMSELF IN BED Followed Usual Custom Last Night And Then Fell Into a Deep Sleep. FIND BULLET WAS GREASED Chemical Examination Will Be Made to See If Poison Was Mixed In With It. (By United Press.) Chicago, Oct. 16.—Bulletin from Mercy Hospital—The crisis in the Roosevelt case will come Friday, ac- cording to a statement made at noon today to a representative of the United Press, by Dr. Terrell, the Col- onel’s personal physician, “If there is any danger to Roose- velt from blood poisoning or lock jaw it will be indicated Friday by the presence of pus around the ‘wound.” Find Bullet Was Greased. Milwaukee, Oct. 16.—An examina- tion of Schrank’s revolver showed that the bullet which entered Roose- velt’s body had been greased. A fur- ther investigation is being made and chemists will analyze the grease to see whether the insane ingenuity of the would-be assassin could devise a means of inserting a poison in the; grease. Wound is Serious. Chicago, Oct. 16.—The physicians attending Colonel Roosevelt at Mercy hospital gave out the following bul- letin late Tuesday afternoon: “The latest examination of Colonel Roosevelt shows his temperature to be 98.8; his pulse 92; respiration normal. The Colonel has difficulty and experiences great pain in breath- ing. The Colonel’s injury is a ser- ious wound in the chest and not a mere flesh wound. No one will be permitted to see him. He must have absolute quiet and cease all talking. Signed: J. B. MURPHY ARTHUR DEAN BEVAN S. L. TERRELL Telegrams are Received. Chicago, Oct. 16.—Although the physicians were not making a formal statement they said at 5:30 last eve- ning that Col. Roosevelt was resting comfortably and that there was no change in his condition. Absolute quiet and rest was all that was needed for his recovery, at present, they said. Outside of immediate members of the family the colonel will be per- mitted to see no one. Among the messages received at the hospital are: “Permit me to ex- press my profound regret that your life should have been in peril, and to congratulate you upon your for- tunate escape from more serious in- jury. I trust that you will speedily recover.—Robert M. LaFollette.” “I shall hope to hear of your speedy recovery.—John A. Dix.” Condition Improved. *Chicago, Oct. 16.—Roosevelt’s con- «dition was found improved last night when the physicians made their final rexamination of his wound. The is- :3ued a bulletin saying his breath- ing was causing less pain after a restful day. As a precautionary measure, tetanus antitoxine was ad- ministered in a medium dose to .guard against possible lockjaw. iLater he was told that he might eat “when he desired. ‘Wants to Die With Boots On. (Chicago, Oct. 16.—An interesting rconversation which occurred on the platform of the Auditorium as Mil- ‘waukee just after Roosevelt quit his wpeech and permitted himself to be examined by the doctors was re- vealed yesterday afternoon. Dr. Ty- rell sat waiting nervously for the Colonel to conclude his remarks and then as soon as he could speak to the former president the doctor said: “Colonel, I never spent such an form wondering wheer that bullet was in you. It was all very well for you to say that it wasn’t in a fatal place, but you couldn’t be sure.” Colonel Roosevelt’s reply was: “No, I couldn’t be sure, but I felt very confident that it was.not in a place where much harm could follow. Therefore I wanted to make _that speech. Moreover, in the very im- ‘probable event of the bullet being in a fatal place, I thought I would ra- ther die with my boots on.” ECKLES. Frank Patterson, clerk of the school board in district 13, resigned last week, because of inability to do the work and Leon Gould was ap- pointed in his place. Mrs. William LacKore made a short visit to International Falls last week. Mrs. LacKore and family ex- pect to return to the Falls in about two weeks to make that their perma- nent home.

A second packed house greeted the Bemidji home talent players at the Brinkman last night. For the first show every seat in the house was taken and all but a few were taken at the second show, in spite of the fact that many left when they found the house full the first time. The program last night pleased bet- ter than the one Monday as the songs came across the footlights in a bet- ter manner. Few people in the audience knew the the “Cry Beby” song of Dorothy Humes last nizht was Miss Humes’ own composition. It is called “The New Baby” and the effectiveness of her imitation was demonstrated last night when a real baby in the audi- ence started to ery in sympathy. Miss Humes’' “Piano Act” was re- ceived as one of the best numbers on the bil. Mrs. Sanborn played Rass’ “Cava- tina” and was given a liberal encore. She was accompanied by Miss Ruth Wightman and both player and ac- companist were called back several times. 5 Hovey Lord and his chorus in “Henry” scored a decided hit and were called upon to repeat the chorus several times. “Blanket Bay” was sung by a group of tiny tots in “eve- ning clothes” and Laey made a pretty picture with their candles. For an encore Vera Cutter played a chorus at the piano while the other stood near with thir candles. David Helmer was given a good hand in his black face act and his acrobatic stunts with a cane pleased the boys in the audience. The chor- uses by the older people went with better effect than on Monday and were more liberally encored. The performance to be given to- night will be the last of the series (Copyright) : WILSON CANCELS DATES Says That He Will Not Continue On Stump When He Has No Ac- tive Antagonist. TAFT ON BOARD MAYFLOWER Princeton, N. J., Oct. 16.—Gov. Wilson Tuesday night announced he would cancel all speaking engage- ments with the exception of those ar- ranged for Thursday and Friday this ‘week, until Roosevelt is able to take an active part in the campaign. “Taft has at no time been active in the campaign, and I don’t desire to be the only candidate on the stump against no active antagonist.” President Taft is at sea on board the presidential yacht “Mayflower.” and people who will attend will be given an opportunity to see a real “bear cat.”” Many wondered what kind of a dance it was that had caused the council so much trouble that the dance will be introduced for a few minutes in the last number of the show. Two men will dance. The two shows last evening brought in $153 to the treasury so that the total receipts for the first two nights are $314.90. That the vaudeville has attracted outside attention is evidenced by the fact that two booking agents came to Bemidji yesterday and after seeing the show last night decided to re- main and see the third one this eve- ning. The men are Albert Webster, of Fargo, who books ‘the Brinkman at present and Charles -W. Nelson, of Chicago, a representative of the Sullivan and Considine circuit. In Simple Language. Beware of the habit of using big words. Like other habits, it grows upon its victim. A horrible example is instanced by the Philadelphia Pul The superintendent of a Sunday school in Philadelphia recently called upon a visitor to “say a few words” to the school, the members of which are mostly children of tender age. The visitor, a speaker -well known for his verbose and circumlocutory manner of speech, began his address as follows: “This morning, children, I purpose to offer you an epitome of the life of Saint Paul. It may be, perhaps, that there are among you some too young to grasp the meaning of the word ‘epitome.” ‘Epitome,’ children, is in Its signification synonymous with synopsis.” Scoop Is Some Scientific H EVER SN(E I GAVE FIGHTER FRIEND \s AWAY- TM GOING To Even in the Depths of the Forest. BLAKELEY HURT ‘W. T. Blakeley and William Bell, of Farley, were both severely injur- ed yesterday when the “gin” pole of a loading outfit fell and hit them. Mr. Blakeley was hit in the nape of the neck.and was senseless for two hours. When he recovered consci- ousness, it was found his memory of the past two days had been lost but its now coming back. Mr. Bell was badly bruised. Both men had narrow escapes. M. & I MAKES MONEY St. Paul, Oct. 16.— The Minnesota & ‘International railroad, according to its annual report filed with the state railroad and warehouse~com- mission yesterday, earned $849,455.- 16 and its operating expense was $550,232.83 during the fiscal year. The Big Fork & International, which according to its report owns and operates one locomotive and two cars, reported gross earnings of $106,610.50 and expenses of $59,- 219.09. The Minnesota & , Rainy River road earned $186,904.31 and paid out $82,166.25 for operation. The Winona Bridge company, which owns 1.3 miles of road and no equipment, filed a statement saying that its report is embraced in that of the Burlington system. WARNING TO AUTO OWNERS. Chief of Police Earl Geil says that he has received the following com- plaints from people who object to autg owner useing.their cars‘in a reckless manner and that each of these complaints is‘a violation of the state law: Auto left unattended with motor running. Turn to left of intersection instead of right. Running at a speed greater than ten miles per hour. Do not always give timely signal at turns and crossings. Car sliding on making turns on rounding corner is consideder too fast running for safety of public. In Women’s Interests. Miss Lucy Goode White has been elected president of the California League for the Protection of Mother- hood, which was organized with 100 charter members. It is not planned to make this a permanent organization, but it is to exist only long enough to obtain the passage of a state law pen- eloning widowed mothers with de- pendent children and providing for pe- cuniary assistance during enforced ldleness to women who work to sup- port themselves and their childrea, I'M TAKING A STRAW [= JOTE ON THE [ PRESIDENTIA ELEC— | | TRAIN GOES OFF BRIDGE South St. Paul Stock Cars Loaded With Cattle and Sheep’Fall Into the Mississippi. ENGINEER KILLED IN WRECK St. Paul, Oct. 16.—One man was killed, .two others seriously injured and scores of sheep, cattle and hogs killed - when an engine pnd eight [Btock cars plunged thirty feet into the Mississippi river from the end of the open draw bridge at South St. Paul at 6:40 Tuesday. The train was part of the South St. Paul Term- inal railroad equipment. The accident occurred about two miles from Daytons Bluff. The train was on its way to South St. Paul with a string of eighteen cars. The bridge was open to allow the pas- sage of the steamer Hiawatha. The engine, driven by Charles C. Cramer, 207 Fourth avenue, South St. Paul, leaped ten feet beyond the end of the trestle and then dropped on its nose into the river, where it turned until it faced towards the rear of the train and settled on its side. Eight cars loaded with hogs, sheep and cattle were dragged behind and fell in a splintered mass upon the locomotive. Engineer Cramer was buried be- neath the wreckage and his body has not been recovered, although nearly 100 men have been working since a few minutes after the accident. The other men hurt were Fireman Frank Weber, Inver Grove, and Switchman James Garvin, South St. Paul. They are both suffering from severe head injuries, and the out- come of their injuries is uncertain. The men were rushed to St. Joseph’s hospital, St. Paul, in the automobile of Dr. E. J. Campbell, South St. Paul, who was summoned to the ‘wreck. Demand for Attar of Roses. The fancy of soclety women for pep fumes and especially for -attar of roses has sent up the prices to the highest on regord. Attar of roses, which is extremely rare and is perhaps the most valuable perfume in the mar ket, now is commanding almost a pro- hibitive price. Despite the cost, how- ever, the whim of women has taken to that as the rarest and most delicate of perfumes. Dealers in Fifth avenue, New York, say that they have the greatest difficulty in obtaining enough to supply the orders of their custom ers. 2 - By "HOP" " meedncbomwmm WORLD'S SERIES TO Giants’ Vietory Tuesday Forces An- other Contest which will Be Played in Boston Today.

(By United Press.) THE GAME TODAY: New York— 001000 Boston— 000000 Interest in the game today is the greatest that ever crowned a single battle. For the first time in history the gate receipts of a series will ap- proach the half million mark, which means a net profit of $150,000 for each club. Close onto 50,000 people are attending today’s game,—the final battle of the year 1912,—the pennant winner. (Written by Grantland Rice.) Fenway Park, Boston, Oct. 16.— For the first time in worl’s series history the championship battle goes to the eighth game which will be > played here today. Rushing.the peerless and unbeat- en Wood even more savagely than they rushed O'Brien the day before, the Giants drove Smokey Joe from the field with the worst beating he has ever had in his big league career. In the first assult they ripped his hide off with seven hits and six runs. Before this fusillade of shrapnel and cannister, Boston sat stunned- and crushed. The impossible had hap- pened. The world was coming to an end. Gibralter could be toppled over by human hands, for a ball club-had faced Joe Wood at home and-shot him to death within one round. Conceding defeat after this shoal of hits and runs, Stahl then derricked ‘Wood to give him his chance again today, in a duel with Mathewson. The big gun will blaze the eighth and deciding game for his people and it is almost a certainty that Wood will oppose him. Tesreau, working in a driving gale which must have raced down from one of Greenland’s icy mountains with a sting and a wip, was wild, un- steady and far below form. The Red Sox hit him fiercely but bril- liant support pulled him through. Wonderful work by Devore in right cut him off at least two-triples, when Jeff was breaking badly, sav- ing a hogshead full of runs. All through this rickety period McGraw had Mathewson ~warming up, but as the Giants continued to whale the padding out of -Hall, who followed Wood, Jeff was never.close to the rim of danger . It was a tough battle for any pitcher to work as the gale ripped the field into a swirling dust plate and blew the ball around like a feather. The Giants entered the seventh battle with a world of confidence and having fought their way to a long lead were never in danger. The attendance at yesterday's game was 32,694.- The receipts were $57,196. The commission’s. share was $5,719.60. Each club’s share $26,738.29. The score Tuesday: 123456789 —R.
