Shooting Down the Alps on Skees.
The quest for moral is provoked by
long list of skeeing accidents in the
Alps. In itself the exercise can hardly
be considered more perilous than skat-
ing, though the proportion of sprained
ankles and twisted tendons Is higher,
but when the skeer skees a distance
from his base and ventures upon un-
familiar ground there are at least
three ways in which calamity Is liable
to befall him. On glacier he may
break through the snow bridge which
he Is trying to shoot and be buried in a
crevasse On the hillside he may skee
violently down steep place and, un-
able to arrest his pace, end by skeeing
over a precipice. Almost anywhere,
unless he knows the signs, he may skee
in the tracks of an avalanche and be
overwhelmed. Examples of each of
these several kinds of disaster have
lately been presented, and each of the
disasters conveys warning of which
amateur skeers, whose name nowadays
Is legion, would do well to take a
rnf"l motto IT ondon Gronhio

Young Women Will Compete for
500 Diamond Ring and
Gold Watch.
ONE VOTE ONE CENT, AND
MONEY GOES FOR CARNIVAL
Commercial Club Adopts Unique
Plan to Take Place of
Soliciting Funds.

The Commercial club at a
meeting held in the city hall last
night decided on an original plan
for raising the money necessary
for procuring the carnival for
August. A voting contest to
determine the most popular
young lady in Bemidji and the
surrounding country, is the
scheme.
Two prizes are to be offered,
both of them we'll worth fighting
for. The first, to go to the young
woman receiving the highest
number of votes, Is 500
diamond ring, and the second, to
go to the young woman receiving
the second highest number of
votes, is solid gold watch.
Each vote will cost one cent,
ard the money goes into the
carnival fund. That is, every
man contributing 81, say, to the
fund is entitled to 100 votes to be
cast for any one of the young
women candidates he chooses.
The voting contest was the
suggestion of President Miles.
The meeting was called last night
for the purpose of discussing
ways and means for carrying on
the carnival, and the most i'm.
portant problem was how to raise
the money necessary to pay the
$500 to the carnival company and
pay the incidental expenses, like
posting advertising paper, etc.
The usual way is to go around
with a subscription list and ask
every merchant and business
man to give so much, say from S.
to 800. This is not a popular
method, however, especially
among the men who are called
upon to do most of the giving,
and the suggestion of a voting
contest by the president met
with quick approval.
The plan is to get as many of
the young women from Bemidji
and from the country and vii
lagos near by into the race as
possible. Their friends will
naturally want to see them win
and it is figured thatat one cent a
vote, with the amount of enthusi.
asm that IS sure to be aroused,
the carnival fund will be swelled
to such proportions that no
soliciting will be necessary.
In order that the contest may
be given the widest publicity and
the voting be announced every
day, it was decided to have all
votes and all money sent to the
Pioneer. AS soon as candidate
enters the contest her name will
be- printed in the contest column
of the Pioneer and each day the
lumber of votes will be pub
lished. The money will be
turned over to the proper
authorities.
Mr.. Miles offered to advance
the money for the prizes so that
it will be possible to get them
here within short time, and the
jewelry will be placed on exhibi-
ton in the front windows of the
two local banks.
The contest will close August
II at 8 o'clock p M, which will
give the young women and their
friends just about time to get
into the race and get up a spirited
rivalry, If they start i'm mediately.
The matter of distributing the
advertising ''paper" furnished
by the carnival company was also
discussed, and il was voted to
leave the entire business of ad-
vertising in the hands of Presi.
dent Miles and Secretary Mark

TAKES THE MARINES DOG
York Navy Yard by the
Catcher
Special to The Herald.

SpecldI TO Inc f1eIalo.
NEW YORK, May 26.-Old Dick, the
big Newfoundland dog that has long
been the pet of the marines stationed
at the New York navy yard, has left the
yard and his friends the marines are
wondering what is going to happen to
him.
The dog catcher got Old Dick after he
had been removed from the yard by
order of Capt. j. N. Hemphill, who
was tired Of seeing so many strange
dogs lettering around. The captain
sent for the dog catchers.
On Saturday morning the dog catcher,
his two assistants and two horse
wagon arrived at the Sanda street en-
trance to the navy yard in Brooklyn.
what dye want?" asked the SER
geant of marines on duty at the gate
"All the dogs yer got" replied the
dog catcher.
do you mean 'em all, or just few
particular ones, for we've a. few dogs
here that we don't want ter Loser" said
the marine.
1--WE wants all of 'em exceptin' the
ones that is owned by the fellows in
gold lace and plumed hats" answered
the dog catcher, and then he showed
his credentials from the captain of the
yard. The sergeant had to let him pass.
When the dog catcher arrived there
wore at least forty dogs in the yard
whose misfortune it was not to be
owned by an officer. For three hours
the dog catcher and his assistants
chased the uphappy dogs about the
yard trying TO capture them. The ma
rines said not a word until it came Old
Dicks turn to surrender. Al first they
threatened then they begged and plead
ed, but it was of no use. Old Dick did
not belong to an officer. and he had to
go. Dick was the last dog put into the
cage, and his was the last yelp that the
marines heard when the wagon and its
twoscore of bowling, grief-stricken dogs
drove away.

REGULAR CAT AND DOG TIME
Pup chews a Kittens Tail and starts
a Neiahborhood Quarrel
That ls Serious
sneolal ID Tha Herald.

Special to The Herald.
DENVER, May 2e.--.Tust because a
playful pup chased a kitten and tried
to show It's regard for Il by chewing
its tail. good portion OF the people
living near Fortieth and Race streets
appeared In Magistrate Cartons court
yesterday morning. Nobody knew to
whom the pup Of doubtful breed be-
loneed. but that point was lost In the
haze OF thrills that followed It.
Pater Mathies and Leonard Lother
were the stars IN the case, outside Of
the dog. which disappeared during the
excitement and which could not be
rounded up as a witness. According
to the testimony of Margaret Lother
the complaining witness. she was try
ing to protect the hapless kitten, which
had already lost some of its fur, when
Mathies appeared on the scene.
An attempt to establish an entente
cordiaIe, as the diplomats say, failed.
The dog refused to be placated by any
truce terms and Mathies and Mrs Lo-
ther soon got entangled in a disastrous
quarrel. Mathies was accused OF max
ing the air red, blue and several other
colors by the impromptu speech which
he delivered Result. SIS fine for dis
turbance and placed under $100 bonds.
Things looked pretty bad for Mathies,
who seemed disturbed at his portion.
But the complaining witness and her
friends; aleso the friends of the kitten,
were not done. They said further that
Mathies had made dire threats against
them, telling what he would do to them
when opportunity afforded. The court
disregarded this testimony.
Mathies who had been fined so much
that he seemed to be getting accus-
toned to 1t, then had his turn. He told
another ystory. Leonard Lother, ac-
cording to his tale, was the bad man
who had kept the neighbors in a state
of worry.
Lother denied the allegation, but he
was fined $40 for disturbance. Next
he was handed another mulcting Of $40
| for threatening Mathies and telling him
he ought to be consigned to place
where he would not need winter fan
nels. Also, Lother was put under bonds.
| That ended the first two chapters in
| the row with the court counting the
cash, and the belligerents softly muir
muring things about that dog which
had caused all their troubles.
