Great Falls, Mon, Has Serious Out
break of Smallpox.
ST. PAUL, Oct. "A Butte (Mon.
special says: Several new cases Of
smallpox are reported atGreat Falls
and % patients are now in the pest
house, which Is crowded. The people
of Great Falls are greatly alarmed. The
rapid spread of the disease is due to the
fact that for long time the physicians
were in doubt or ignorance as to the
nature of the disease, and called it
chickenpox. The truth was not discov-
cred until after several persons had
died and hundreds had been exposed.
Among the victims at the pesthouse
is Rev. Henry Van Engelen of the Bap-
fist church. About two weeks ago j.
s. Reeder, member of Van Engelen's
church died of what the doctors termed
diabetes, but which now turns out was
smallpox. Rev. Van Engelen visited
Reeder frequently during his illness
and preached the funeral sermon at a
public burial. On Sunday, Sept. II,
following the funeral, Mr.. Van Engelen
preached at the church as usual and on
Monday he was taken ill. He remained
at his home throughout the week. His
chilren ran in and out of the house and
played with the children of the neigh
borhood. On Sunday the disease was
pronounced smallpox and the patient
was taken to the pesthouse.

seen that what would be suitable for q

be out Of place in a city block. The
design accompanying this article con-
veys a definite idea Of what is meant
by artistic door trimming.
The hinges, being the main feature
Of the door, should be strong, in ac-
cordance with the weight and thick
ness Of the door. The trimming may
be fat or rounded up, as individual
taste may suggest, and be attached to
the door with large wrought iron nails
or screws, the whole finished in dull

ST. PAUL, Oct. 4-There is appar

Dulong and a neighbor at Hugo, north
of White Bear, about Is miles from St.
Paul. Some of his stock is dying with
apparent symptoms of hydrophobia.
About three weeks ago a strange dog
was about the place. and it is pretty
certain that he bit number of cattle
sheep and pigs. No one seems to know
much about the dog. where he came
from and what became of him, but re-
Gently the life stock has shown strange
symptoms and several have died.
Three of the animals are still alive,
and they are now being watched for
developments.
DR.. Richard Price, an expert on hy-

cattle indicate hydrophobia. 1t Is
likely that the case will be investigated
more thoroughly.

First Of the Series for the Amer
ica's Cup a Remarkable
Race.
Wind Brisk at Start but Died
Down. Yachts Practically
Becalmed.
Shamrock and Columbia Alter.
nately Lead Throughout the
Course.

NEW YORK, Oct. 4.-The first race In
the series for the Americas cup be-
tween Columbia and Shamrock proved
one of the most remarkable of any
yet sailed for the greatest of all trophies.
Light breezes prevailed, varied in spots
by puff or two. and in turn both boats
enjoyed the benefit and suffered q
change in position.
The excursion boats, of which there
were hundreds interviewed in a meas
ure with the progress of the race and in
this respect the Columbia suffered
most. The official start was: Sham.
rock 11:15:37, Columbia ll:16:20.
| Shamrock gained a hundred yards at
the start and she increased her lead
during the first hour. Columbia's sails
did not set properly, particularly her
ballooner, and. she disheartened her toll
bowers by. her lifeless work.
Suddenly, however, with change OF
sail and puff of breeze, the American
cup defender took on new life and
within q few minutes she had over
hauled her rival, and was pushing her
white nose through the water at a
rapid rate. out-footing the challenger,
and gaining at every dip Of her nose.
She made the lead more than half q
mile in short time, but then her spin.
maker seemed to set badly. She car.
ried it few minutes longer. during
which time she lost ground, and within
two miles of the mark the Shamrock
was again, making up her lost ground,
being not more than one-third of mile
astern. They rounded the mark as fol.
lows: Columbia, 1:3S:43; Shamrock,
h:40:11. =. =
The enthusiasm was wild. On
khe beat back there was succession of
small tacks, the Columbia making
move for move with the Shamrock,
until about 2:a5, when. with the Sham
rock standing of-shore, the Columbia
split tacks with her, keeping on in.
shore for 10 minutes.
This was an unfortunate move fol
the Columbia's skipper, for the wind
mot only lightened in-shore, but shifted
TO eastward, so that the Shamrock,
which tackled at 2:46, was greatly bene-
ftted by the change.

of circumstances the lead which she
had lost early in the race.
At o'clock the wind died down to q
three knot breeze, and with about eight
miles to go it hardly looked as though
the race would be sailed in the So houl
limit. 3a
AT 300 the boats were off the High.
lands, FIVE miles from the finish mark,
with Shamrock slightly in the lead.
Time Limit Expired.
The time limit of FIVE and half hours
expired at 4:45. At that time both
boats were three miles east of High.
lands, and the same distance from the
finish line at Sandy Hook lightship, and
the Shamrock was ahead. At the time
the race was-called off, person could
toss biscuit from the Shamrock to the
Colum bia
AT 4:47 both boats took in their jib
topsails and signalled for their tugs.
