HYDROPHOBIA
Many Dogs in City Said to Be Af-
fected With Disease and PeO-
pie Are Frightened.

A dog suffering with hydropho
bia was dispatched this morning
by the police officers after having
caused the death of another dog
which he attacked. The animal
which was shot this morning was
the property of Ted Maloy and
has been acting in queer man
ner for some time but did not get
violent until this morning. AS a
result of what happened many
people are frightened and during
the day a large number Of the
dogs of the city have been tied
up in order to insure their safety
from the dread disease. The
police are of the opinion that the
poison which was reported to
have been distributed around
the city was nothing more than
hydrophobia in mild form.

Looks Like Snow.

Although the weather this
morning, and in fact during the
entire afternoon, was ideal for
election day purposes, this after
noon the sky has started to cloud
up and the present indications
are that the day will end with
the usual snow, wind and other
disagreeable things always in
evidence on election day. It is
predicted by weather prophets
of the city that before morning
Mother Earth will be covered
with snowy mantle.

Not a Sick Day Since.

with kidney trouble. [ tried all
sorts of medicines, none of which
relieved me. One day I saw an
ad of your Electric Bitters and
determined to try that. After
taking few doses I felt relieved
aud soon thereafter was entirely
cured, and have not seen a sick
day since. Neighbors of mine
have been cured of rheumatism,
neuralgia, liver and kidney
troubles and general debility. .

Contest Between Candidates
Being Decided by Voters
Today.
VOTE In BEMIDJl WILL BE
LIGHTER THAN EXPECTED.
Vigorous Methods Being Pursued
by Candidates For Some
Offices,

The result of nearly two
months of strenuous fighting, po-
litically, by the candidates for
the different offices in Beltrami
county is being decided today by
the voters and when the morrow
dawns the outcome of the cleo
ton in most instances will be
known.
In the two wards Of the vii
lage of Bemidji about $50 votes
had been cast up to $3.50 this
afternoon, and the indications at
that time were that the total vote
cast in this city would be about
700. This is somewhat lighter
than was expected in view of the
ideal weather which has been
prevalent during the entire day.
No prognostication as to the
result of the election could be
made except in those instances
where the republican nominees
have no opposition, but the indi
cations point to a republican sue
cess throughout the county for
all the offices from president,
down.
The polls will be kept open un
til 6 o'clock after which the count
ing of the ballots will commence.
Arrangements have been made by
some Of the enterprising bust
ness men of the city to receive
the complete election returns
from different parts of the state
and country of the result of the
presidential and gubernatoria.

TERRAPIN LOST IN STORM.

The large terrapin ponds of Frank C.. Lewis at Hunting Creek were des- troyed by the great storm Wednes- day night. MT. Lewis is the largest terrapin raiser on the Chesapeake Bay and annually ships hundreds of the finest diamond back terrapins in the world to the large hotels III New York, to the United States Senate's restaurant at Washington, and to his customers scattered over rhe en- tire country.
 The terrapin are put in still ponds, boarded and wired in, and lay their eggs in the sand. Many young ter rapin are raised in this way, and all together the industry has been a most profitable one. The terrific wind brought in the huge tide and completely flooded the ponds and drowned nearly all the terrapin. The animals were driven from the pond and killed by the tossing of the chop py sea- Some were driven ashore and turned on their backs, and when the waves would beat over them finally died from exhaustion. The number of terrapin killed is about 1,5O0, valued at $4,000.- Baltimore Sun.

You made the same remark before said Brendon dryly, tsand we could ar rive at no conclusion. But, In any case, I don't see that Miss Ward giving me the holly has anything to do with Mrs. Jerseys alarm-if, indeed, she was alarmed"

 And at the afternoon tea she gave you the holly ?''

s-.orC45er, the fact t1at the instrument used was . stiletto (and the doctor held to that showed that the crime must have been committed by foreigner. The jury brought in verdict of murder against some person or persons un- known, and that was all that could be done toward the elucidation of the Amelia square crime.
 There's only one thing that wasn't spoken of" said Quex when he saw the boarders in the drawing room for the last time; it seems that Mrs. Jer- sey always put out the light above the door at II, or when the guests de- parted. On this occasion it burned all night, and as it shines behind crimson glass such red window might be guide to any one who did not know the house, but who had been given that sign whereby to distinguish It.
 Il can explain that" said Granger, who was present. "When madame was bidding farewell to her guests she thought that some of them might be lost in the fog. Therefore she called out after them that she would let the light burn later, so that any might be able to retrace their steps,"
 "In that case" said Quex, rising to take his leave, "there is nothing more to be discussed. Who killed Mrs. Jer- sey or why she was killed will proba- bly, never be known Ladies and gen tlemen, good day. and the inspector bowed himself stiffly out of the room with the air of a man who washed his hands of the whole concern.
 When are you going back to Duke Btreet?" asked Brendon as he took his leave of Train
 "This very day,' replied the young man gloomily T don't want to stop Q moment longer than I can help in this awful house."
 tT expect many of the others are of your way of thinking, Train. But, so far as I can see, there is no hope of learning who killed the woman"
 If you had only allowed me to tell Quex about the door being opened he might have traced the assassin"
 1T don't think so.'' Brendon shook his head. Tt was foggy night, and whosoever entered would be able to slink away without being seen

DO YOU KNOW?

How many buttons have you got on your waistcoat? This Is no catch, just a simple question, and if you can answer 1t without counting, why, it shows that you possess powers of conception above the average. It is an absolute fact that nine men out of ten cannot tell offhand how many buttons there are on the garment which they put on every morning and take off every evening.
 This Is just one of those things which exemplifies how absolutely most people fail to cultivate their powers of observation. Here is another:
 A watch is a fairly familiar ob- ject, yet If you were asked whether the numbers on the face correspond with the Roman numerals what would you say? Ninety-nine persons out of a hundred would at once ans wer, "Yes." Yet 90 would be wrong. The symbol for four is not the cus- tomary ". but HI.
 One could multiply such instances to almost any extent. It is safe to bet any man, except an architect, that he does not know how many stairs there are in any particular flight in his own house, even though he has climbed them thousands of times.
 1t is not that we do not have the faculty of remembering such facts. That we do possess this is proven by the comparatively astonishing feats of memory each of us performs daily in his or her especial line of occu- patton.
 A cook will carry in her head hum dreds of different recipes, shipping clerk, hundreds of addresses, shep-. herd can recognize in an instant single individual sheep out of flock os several hundred. But few of us train our powers of observation out side our particular lines.-Chicago Inter Ocean.

A \ il~ VI. of it's mystery the
 murder of Mrs. Jersey made O a great sensation. The sea-
 son was dull and there was nothing of interest in the newspapers, therefore the mysterious crime was Q godsend to the repoTtas.s. From being peaceful neighborhood Amelia square became quite lively.
 The boarders found all this most un- pleasant. This rude awakening from their sleepy life was too much for them, and the majority made preparations to leave as soon as the inquest was over. Until then they were under surveil- lance and could not leave the neighbor- Aood, restriction which in itself was sufficiently unpleasant. Brendon found it particularly so, as he was anxious to get back to his own rooms at Ken eington and to his work. But even when he told Inspector Quex that he was merely a visitor and knew nothing about the matter that jealous officer objected to his going. Perhaps, had Rrendon insisted, he might have gained his point, but he did not think it was worth while to make the fact of his stay in the Jersey mansion too public and therefore held his peace. He stopped with Leonard as usual, but the two men were not such friends as they had been.
 Why Train had changed toward him Brendon could not understand, but ever since Leonard had been sub mitted to the ordeal of seeing the corpse he had been an altered man, From being gay he was now dull; tn4 stead of talking volubly, as he usually did, he was silent for hours at q stretch, and he appeared to shun Brendon's company. Fool as Train was, Brendon liked him sufficiently to resent his altered demeanor.
 At the inquest nothing was discov- cred likely to elucidate the mystery Not one scrap of evidence could be found to show that any one in the house could possibly be guilty. The boarders were all old, the servants all ordinary human beings, and no motive could be assigned to any one person for the committal of so. cruel 2 crime
