GIRLS ARE SUICIDES
Belong to Club In Idaho and Die
When Chosen by Lot.

BOISE Idaho, Oct. This city has
fully organized suicide club. That it
is ready for business and has already
transacted considerable business is
shown by the fact that at least three
of it's members have "shuff1ed off, by
the suicide route within period of as
many months.
The fact of the existence of the or
ganization became known to the police
in an investigation into the death of
Grace Ashton, it's latest victim. She
died from morphine poisoning on a
third attempt at suicide, both Of the
previous attempts having been frus-
~trated through her seasonable discov-
cry by friends.
Another young woman friend of Miss
Ashton attempted suicide by taking
poison, but recovered, and it was
through her that the existence of the
club was made known. The club is
regularly organized with a strong
membership-all young wonderland
holds meetings at regular intervals. It
transpires that at each meeting a new
victim is chosen by lot, who is to pass
off before the time for the next meet
ing by one of the usual methods adopt
ed In such cases, the particular mode
being optional with the candidate.
The police are investigating with a
view Of breaking up the club, If pos
sible.

TAKE LEMON JUICE
FOR HYDROPHOBIA
This Is the Advice Given by Doctor
for Emergency Cases.

CHICAGO, Oct. If a person is
bitten by a supposedly mad dog. let
him call in physician and apply lemon
juice to the wound"
This is the advice offered last even
Ing by DIR. A. Lagerio, of the Pasteur
institute at the monthly dinner of the
physicians club, of Chicago. The en-
tire evening was taken up with a dis
cussion of "The Hydrophobia Cues
ton" and physicians spoke on different
phases of the disease.
Lemon juice is the best home trent
ment OF which I know" said DR.. La
gorio, who discussed the subject from
the therapeutic standpoint. "Of course.
1t is not to be relied upon for anything
approaching cure, but as a handy
first aid 1t is valuable.
There is a widespread belief that
hydrophobia is more prevalent during
the dog days than at other seasons of
the year. AS a matter of fact. the
summer does not show as many cases
as the autumn and winter. Heat is
unfavorable to the development of the
disease and 1 have often tested this by
experiments of inoculations in hot
weather."

CHICKEN HAS A
QUARTETTE OF LEGS
sostonian Discovers Curiosity in
Rhode Island Red Variety.

& BOSTON. Mass. Oct. I'M. Good
man, of Minot street, is showing his
friends a four-legged hen which he
purchased in Pittsfield, Me-, a short
time ago. So far as is known this is
the only bird of its kind in the world.
You will notice." said Mr.. Good
man this morning, that the tail grows
on the right side of the bird, and yet
does not interfere with the use of it's
wings.
Two of the legs grow in the ordi-
nary manner and support the body.
The other two are perfectly normal,
except that they grow backward in
stead of downward, and the feet are
carried closed most of the time
"She weighs three and one-half
pounds and was hatched on May 8
last" he added, showing the bill of
sale as evidence.
The bird is of the Rhode Island red
variety, and so highly does the owner
prize it that instead of shipping 1t di-
rectly home he kept it with him dur
ing four weeks business trip.
The chicken seems to be in perfect
health, and, in the words of the owner,
''she likes to have you watch her. Sec
her strutl"

boy is KILLED BY
INTERURBAN CAR
n
Youth on Bicycle Gets in Front
of Fast Running Car and His
Skull IS Crushed.

Harry Jacobs, seventeen-ye year-old
son of w. K. Jacobs, manager of the
American Tent and Awning COMPANY
was almost instantly killed yesterday
afternoon at 4 O'Clock by being struck
by an east-bound interurban car on
University avenue. near Marion street
The boy was riding on a bicycle on
University avenue and after crossing
Marion street turned across the track
behind a west-bound Hamline car to
go to the south side of the street, when
an interurban, coming from the oppo-
site direction at high rate of speed
struck him, crushing his skull and
throwing him to-tIle pavement beside
the track.
The car swept by the PROSTATE body
of the dying boy and was not stopped
till it had gone more than fifty feet
from the place where the accident oc-
Cured.
Patrolman Brennan, who saw the ac-
cident from a distance, says the car
struck the boy before it reached Ma
rion street, and that it did not stop
till it was opposite the wood office
across the street.
Fred Willy, proprietor of a grocery
store at 315 University avenue, who
was waiting for a car at the corner
of University and Harrington avenues,
says that the car which killed Jacobs
passed him, though he signaled it to
stop. According to his statement the
car was going at a high rate Of speed.
Thomas Connolly 34S East Ninth
street; John Tollefer, 1913 Sixth street
south, Minneapolis, and Mrs. Schwoe-
bel, 235 Sherburne avenue, saw the ac-
cident, and all say the car was going
at high rate of speed when 1t struck
the boy. They saw the victim turn
off the track behind the Hamline car
and make an effort to. steer off the
track when he saw the interurban
coming upon him, but the car was
upon him before he could get out of
the way.
Motorman Charles Anderson, who
had charge of the car, says that the
boy came in front of the car so sud-
denly that 1t was impossible for him
to avert the accident. He and Con-
ductor D. w. Meyers reside in Mime
apolis.
With his skull crushed the boy lay
In pool of blood upon the pavement, a

Special to The Globe.

Speclal to The Globe,
HURON, S. D., Oct. Judge
Charles S. Whiting, of the Ninth judi
ciai circuit. who closed court here last
evening, emphatically denied the re-
port that he had signed decree of
divorce for Mrs. Roland B. Molineux,
OF New York. 1t is also known that
Judge Bennett of Watertown, did mot
sign such decree, as he was not in
the state at the time. It is said that
Mrs. Molineux will institute similar
proceedings in Chicago in the very near
future. Her statement that she came
to South Dakota for the purpose of
procuring divorce would preclude any
judge in the state from granting such
a decree. The plaintiff must be a
bona fide resident Of the state.

SWIFT HOLDS LARD |
Corner Secured Only by Paying
sk''' High Price.

CHICAGO, Oct. 1-Swift has COR
nered the lard market and controls over
half the worlds supply, which exceeds
2l0,OQO tierces. In the past thirty days
the running of his September deal has
necessitated the paying for 1000
tierces. 1t Is the largest deal in lard
that has ever been handled and is the
first time that the Swifts have ever ap-
peared In the provision trade as manip-
ulators of the market.
Every one in the provision trade is
of the impression that there is a heavy
loss in the deal for the Swifts that may
run well into the millions of dollars
AT present there is a heavy loss in the
stock here, which Is 10000 tierces,
which at IL cents represents nearly
$5,000,000. There are also holdings of
over $4,000 tierces sent abroad of late
to relieve the market here.
Edward Morris has been active in
bringing all the lard that was to be
found at Eastern and Western packing
points to Chicago to deliver to Swift
at high price.
In the past thirty days it is said that
young Morris has bought in over $4,000
tierces. to give Swift all the lard he
wanted. Whenever there has been a
sharp bulge in the market of late Nor
ris has had lard to sell, and has deliv-
cred as high as 10000 tierces at a time

BALFOUR OUTLIVES
TARIFF POLICY
SAYS He Has a Palliative but
Not a Cure for British Com
mercial Decay.

LONDON, Oct. 1. = Addressing a
mass meeting at Sheffield tonight in
connection with the conference of the
National Union of the Conservative
Associations, Premier Balfour delivered
the speech which has been long her
aided as the first heavy gun to be fired
in the fiscal reform campaign, which is
absorbing the attention of the United
Kingdom, her colonies, and, indeed, the
whole world, and which has caused the
present British cabinet crisis, the re-
suit of which it is impossible to fore
tell.
Mr.. Balfour did not hint at the sue
cessors in the cabinet to Mr.. Chamber
lain, Lord George Hamilton and Mr..
Ritchie. In fact, he did not mention
the ministerial designations ignoring
altogether that phase of the situation
on which ii was expected he would
make some declaration. The premier
confined himself strictly to the tariff
question and his speech was to a large
extent a repetition of the arguments
contained in his recent pamphlet.
Tonights meeting was held in the
artillery drill hall, which was the larg-
est auditorium available. Fully 5000
persons were in the hall, and perhaps
as many more who were unable to get
in attended an overflow meeting in AL
bert hall. In addition, thousands who
could not be accommodated at either
meeting stood outside in the rain, join
ing those inside the halls in patriotic
songs and cheering the names of the
party leaders. The Earl of Derby pre-
sided.
"A Great Man, Chamberlain"
What is it," the premier asked, that
has brought this topic into exceptional
prominence? There are those who
would attribute the Importance it has
attained to that great speech delivered
by a great man, Mr.. Chamberlain, in
May last, but something more is re-
quired to account for a phenomenon
unparalleled in the experience of any
man I am now addressing"
Mr.. Balfour attributed this promi-
nence to the fact that the country was
in closer touch with the colonies as a
result of the late war and that repre-
sentatives of the ministers in the colo
MES had brought before the empire the
question of tariff reform. Also because
for a long time prior to the develop
ment of the present controversy there
had been great uneasiness among all
parties as to the condition of British
trade in relation to the trade of the
world. Mr. Chamberlain's speech
would not have had the effect it did if
1t had not fallen on prepared ground
and If Canada's effort to give prefer
ence to the mother country had not
brought out threats from at least one
foreign country in retaliation. This
had brought home to many minds the
helplessness of Great Britain, under
such circumstances, to meet a situation
so dangerous.
Prophecies Refuted.
The last sixty years, continued Mr.
tions Of the prophecies made hv tho
great tariff reformers. He believed
that the reforms of 1876 were neces-
sary at that time, but every year of
the last thirty had contradicted the
prophecies of the reformers.

WINONA, Mimi, Oct. Fired N.
Van Duzee, managing editor of the
Winona Evening Republican and Her
aid, died at his home in this city to-
night after an illness of several months
duration. Eighteen months ago he had
a severe attack of brain trouble and

Mr.. Van DuZee was one of the best
known newspaper men in the state and

Fred Van Duzee was in some respects
a remarkable man. He was blessed
with a memory of power almost in
credible. He could interview men by
the hour and afterward--in the same
day, the next week or the next year
reproduce every word precisely as it
was spoken. He was brilliant
worker and his reports were models of
accuracy. Never was Fred Van Du-
zee compelled to correct statement
made by him so far as it's accuracy was
concerned. He was, too, a most loVable
man and in the enjoyment of the en-
tire respect of all who knew him.
Mr.. Van Duzee was a graduate of the
ST. Paul high school and Williams col
lege, and was about forty years of age.
He leaves widow and two children.
