FLIRTING WITH DEATH.
o'avo'o's Great Act Of Looping the
Loop on Bicycle.

An enumeration of the chances that
men take with death in order to enter
tam the great amusement-loving pub
lie. would be very incomplete w;,hout
the addition of that latest and prea,-
est sensation, viz, the looping of tho
loop on bicycle" said Mr.. James n
DeWolfe. one of the agents of tho
Forepaugh-Sells Circus. which is
scheduled to show here Tuesday nexr
Mr.. DeWolfe gave some very interest,"
ing statistics concerning this great
act, which he declares is the greatest
sensation ever presented anywhere AZ
any time" In the course of con-
versation. he said: 1T is difficu,t n
conceive how a man of sound mind can
be tempted by money to so ardently
fiirt with death. The cost of this act
is 81 900 per week, and It consumes inst
six seconds of our entertainment pro-
gram. The act is presented twice daily
and therefore Diavolo works just - sec
Onds per week. But his work is such
that we have as yet been unable to find
another living man who can perform
it, The basis of the act is the over
coming of gravita ton by velocity. 1t
has been mathematically proven that
a freely moving body weighing 225
pounds can descend a 11O-foot runway
at an angle of As degrees and gain
sufficient velocity to rise almost per-
pendicularly 231a feet. In other words,
Diavolo weighs 100 pounds and his
bicycle 65 pounds; the runway is 10
feet long, placed at an angle of As de-
grees. and the loop proper is just 23H
feet in diameter.
THE speed attained is terrific. and
the slightest swerve from the center
Of the narrow, 3-foot runway, means in
slant death. 1t is absolutely, without
qualification. the greatest Embarrassing
demonstration of dare-deviltry ever
witnessed-but it only lasts seconds

idea of the present outlook for the
farmers of Maine:
Houlton: Great things are expected
Of the potato crop this year. The in
sects are not so bothersOme and the

be a good crop of hay, yet it will not
turn out as well as was first expected
Lub"c: Tho farmers are beginning
| to harvest a good crop of hay. Potatoes
IRE looking well. although late, as is
| most other produce. The South Lubec
strawberry crop is an average yield.
Biddeford: The hay crop in the vi
cinity of Bddeford seems to be very
large. Judging from the number of hay
cocks in the nearby fields. Farmers
say it will be one Of the best in
years.
| Athens: Haying is on in earnest.
this week. with indications Of a good
crop. berries of ali kinds are very
plenty. hut gardens are not looking as
we'll as usual for the season.
| Canton: Farmers in this vicinity re-
port that less hay will be harvested
than was anticipated early in the
season. hut they expect an average
| crop. The vegetation seems to be
| somewhat backward in many cases. 1t
| is estimated about two weeks behind.
| The frdit outlook promises a fair har-
vest but on account of the heavy
yield of last season, which OvertaXed

Clarence +. at the age of SO.
In the early SOS the family moved to
Waupaca county, Wis, where all but
the two Oldest children were born. In
1882 Mr.. West came to Brookings
county that he might be with his chill
dren, three of whom had taken up
government land about five miles
northeast of the present town of White.
In 1887 the family moved from the
farm to this city where they have since
continued to reside.
On Sept. 10, 1898, Mr.. and Mrs. West
celebrated their golden wedding ami
versary at which event all of the chill
dren and grand children living were
present. Both Mr.. and Mrs. West,
from the beginning of their early mar
ried life, have been members of the
Methodist Episcopal church.
The funeral was held from the Nj. +.
church on Tuesday afternoon and was
attended by large concourse OF
friends. The pastor, Rev. Geo. F.
Hopkins, conducted the service preach
ing a very touching and appropriate
sermon, after which the remains were
taken to Greenwood cemetery for inter
ment. The floral offerings were pro-
fuse and very beautiful.

A VACANCY IN THE RANKS.
Another War Veteran is Mustered
Out of Honored Service.

This community was startled to learn
OF the death, on Saturday morning, of
A. S. West 1t was known that he
was about town few days previous
and apparently in his usual health.
We are told that on Tuesday he began
to complain of not feeling we'll and a
physician was summed but, owing to
complication of troubles incident to
advanced age, little could be done to
stay the call that ultimately comes to
all and Saturday morning, at an early
hour, he succumbed to the grim reap
er-death.
Thus passed to his reward one of the
early pioneers of this county. AS a
citizen he was regarded as one of our
best. AS husband and father he was
always kind and considerate. The de-
clining years OF his. life were spent in
ease and comfort surrounded by his
children and friends. Much of his
time was spent at home assisting in the
care of al invalid wife. His familiar
figure will be missed from our streets
as his visits to the store of his son
have been of almost daily occurrence
for many years.
Azariah s. West was born in Ondaga
county, New York, Nov. Z, 1926, and
had he lived until the 7th of next
month would have been rs years old.
When young man he moved to How
ell, Mich, with his parents and later
to Walworth county, Wis. He was
married to Elizabeth G. Dalton Sept.
7th, 1913, at Geneva, Wis. To this
union seven children were born, John
E., Frank H., Ellen NJ, Geo. A., Clar-
ence E., Carrie f. (Delap). :, and Hugh

carries the pig skin through for first
touch down. Mathews kicks for goal
wind which carries ball to one side
of goal post. Brookings crowd seize
McCordick and carry him across the
gridiron amidst great deal of noise
and enthusiasm. Having made their
touch down Brookings was obliged to
change ends and was again facing the
fierce wind from the west. Mitch
ell kicks off with the wind and the
ball goes sailing past goal outside
posts. Brookings kicks back from %
yard line, Ball goes out of bounds
and is recovered by Mitchell.
Mitchell loses ball on downs at the
5 yard line. Coughlin carries the oval
for Is 5yaids and then Brookings punts.
Mitchell captures the ball, Mitchell
gets desperate and struggles foot by
foot in repeated line smashes until the
pig skin is over for touch down with
just eight minutes to spare. Mitchell
then succeeds in kicking goal, scoring
one more point than Bookings. The
two teams then lined up and Brook
ings got one kick at the pig skin and

NOTES By THE wAySIDE
The receipts amounted to about Sl60
which was good considering the day.
Nothing slow about Pierre. They
furnished transportation for the Mitch
foot ball team to come to Brookings
and return home again.
Mitchell is said to have man in its

team that has played foot ball for
more than ten years. This being the
and the further fact that Mitchell were
the state champions last year gives
the s. ID. A. c. boys all the more
credit for their splendid work Friday.
The S. d. A. C.. boys had thor
oughly organized rooters club doing
effective service under difficulties OF
wind and weather. They looked cold
in their summer makeup OF straw
hats and overalls but their patriotic
work no doubt kept them at summer
heat.
The Rooters Club seemed to be doing
good deal of advertising for Pierre.
At the end of the first half the boys
and girls to the number one hundred
or more formed in line and headed by
a Young man seated on the back OF
burro pranced around the gridiron to
the music of the band. All were fan
tastically dressed including the young
man who advertised "Pierre for the cap
ital" in large letters upon his back.

Brookings and Mitchell
Play Fast Game Foot Ball
The S. D. A. C. Team Hold Mitchell Against Strong Odds in First
Half and Make Quick Touch Down in Second

One of the best, If not the best,
games of foot ball ever played on the
college gridIron was contested between
the Mitchell and s. ID. A. G.. college
teams last Friday afternoon. 1t was
clean game throughout and no one
was hurt. 1t was not what might be
termed an ideal day for out door sport,
but was probably all right for foot
the north and west during the entire
day and the temperature was so low
that the blood of even the most enthu-
siastic foot ball devotee was sluggish
and refused to get into action.
If ever there was any advantage
in position Mitchell had it from the
start to the ending of the first half and
Brookings demonstrated its superiority
in bucking both the high wind and
heavy Mitchell eleven. Below the
REGISTER gives the game in detail
and it will be seen that as soon as
Brookings got the wind in their favor
only short time elapsed until they
had made a touch down. However,
Mitchell played good game and won
by scratch. If Brookings had waited
to make their touch down, by holding
Mitchell as they did in the first half,
Mitchell never would have had time
to score.
FIRST HALF
The game was opened by Brookings
with a kick off against the wind to
