THE IMPORTANCE OF
PHYSICAL CULTURE

Three things are designed in the
gymnasium and athletic parts of the
Danville Association outfit and work
health, physical education and recrea-
tion.
HEALTH No man can afford to
ignore the fact that, like food, exer-
else il a constant necessity to preserve
health, and that much depends upon
the kind and amount of exercise one
takes.
Under the direction of n trained in
structor. with the apparatus of the
gymnasium, the young men find the
course Of exercise and training which
is most conducive to a healthy condi-
tion Of body.
PHYSICAL EDUCATION. Sym
metry of development. endurance,
quiokness and beauty of action. mus.
cular control, physical courage and
self possession, are things desired by
every young man, and in large meas
urs within the reach of every young
man who persists in regular, systemat
io physical training.
REOREATION. The Association
stands for clean athletics. Such sports
as are moral and manly in their ac-
tion and effect upon those who partio-
ipate in them, are fostered. Methods
that are unfair or in any way un-
manly are never oountenanced. The
final result of Association athletic
sports and gymnasium work should be
healthy, woll.developed Christian
gentlemen.
The Danville gymnasium is we'll
furnished with apparatus for individ-
ual exercise aud for class drill, and
regular classes are conducted giving
systematic exercise to all the muscles
of the body. NJ mbers are graded &C
cUTding to age, size, needs and profile
Iency, and every man and boy is di-
rected to such course as he needs for
best results. The baths have been re-
painted aud ara commodious and
clean. Basin, shower and tub baths
give opportunity for cleanliness which
is next to Goodness. Glasses begin
today.

THIS ELK WAS
FEROCIOUS

The unusual proceeding of dehorn-
ing a bull elk caused a great deal of
excitement at Hon. Alox Billmeyer' 8
farm near Wa4hingtouvil yesi erday
morning.
For n number of years this herd of
elks. consisting of l2 COWS and two
bulls, has been great attraction at
the Billmeyer park and thousands OF
people have been attracted to the place
to see the animals.
The elk dehorned yesterday seemed
determined to exterminate the herd.
| A week ago lie killed most promis-
ing two year old heifer which he chas-
| ed into fence corner and ran b is an
tiers through it's body. This action
was deemed strange as the case is u.s.
ually reversed. an elk like all other
animals usually fighting for the herd
instead of against it.
On Tuesday the bull again became
enraged and killed another fine speoi-
| men. The animal killed was valued
| at 800 and in order to save the bal
| ance of the herd from determination
it was determined to cut off the ant
lers of the ferocious beast.
The operation was performed by
Harry Billmeyer, assisted by six men,
everyone of whom were needed. It
was most dangerous proceeding and
before it could be accomplished the
men were thrown around the pen like
so many straws all of them sustaining
slight bruises.
The first thing done was to lasso the
animal which was only accomplished
after hard battle. Three ropes were
used to hold him down and the horns
were taken away in pieces. At intervals
the animal would regain his feet and
the task of controlling him was not an
easy one. After three hours of fierce
fighting the antlers were finally re-
| moved.
AS soon as the operation was COM
pleted and the bull released he plung-
ed into creek running through the
park and remained in the water over
all hour. His spirit seemed entirely
broken and he became as tame as any
| member of the herd.
The antlers of the elk are in great
demand and it was with great reluct-
ance that Mr.. Billmeyer removed
them. In the spring of the year the
| antlers fall off and new ones grow in
their place. The pieces removed yes
terday will be retained until next
spring when the roots remaining fall
away and an effort to preserve the set
in full will be made.
The affair caused great excitement
around tho farm and the thrilling
spectacle was witnessed by large
number of people. The antlers remov-
ed, while not full grown, weighed 90
| pounds.
