GRUESOME SCENES
Half Starved Dogs Are Found
Eating Human Bodies.

San Francisco, April 25.-One
of the gruesome scenes that ha>
followed the fire was witnessed
on Telegraph and Russian hills
and along the entire north beach
front of the city when scores of
half starved dogs were foune
eating human bodies The ami
mails were discovered gnawing
and tearing at the corpses half
buried in the ruins. Where only
a leg or an arm protuded the dogs
were digging for the rest of the
body. Men who had been sert
into the ruins of homes to look
for what little property that
might have escaped the flames
came upon this sickening condi-
ton and Immediately reported to
the naval officers in command of
the water front military districts.
In response to their appeal that
something he done, blue jackets
were detailed TO cover the sec
tions designated and kill all dogs
found in these vicinities.
All morning rifle reports could
be heard on the hillside and along
the beach as the dogs were killed.
Men were pressed into service
either to bury the carcasses of
the dogs or throw them into the
bay. In few places shoulder
ing fires were found and then it
was possible to cremate the AMI
mails. 1t was not thought there
were SO many dead in the ruins
of Telegraph and Russian hills
until the dogs were found there
digging for the bodies.

TRIP OF THE TEACHERS
One Of Them Tells of the Baton
Rouge Trip.

| par dSSeluDieu IN the auul
torium and formulated plans rel
ative to the Baton Rouge trip
Several participated in toast
making and informal speeches
iwelling for the most part upol
the strenuous efforts made b.
superintendent Moss in order t,
tve his parish rank among th,
irst. Mr.. Moss then took tn,
loor aud paid many high ans
orthy compliments to his teach
rs. But this was merely
'und-about way of making th.
oint he had in mind, namely. {,
caution the teachers as to conduct
and behavior while out of ths
parish. He recited the fact thai
-ome had never been beyond the
borders of our "free state" and
that in as much as he had, he felt
it douhly important that they
should take a few notes..in regal d
to. o.positions. on. trains, city !. life,
and care of "suit cases." After
a forty minutes speech of this
breathless deporting of "dots, "
he closed and was .cheered with a
deafenlng roar.
The Valley train is scheduled
to leave at 600 a. m., but many
teachers appeared on the scene at
4:30 sharp, for fear the tickets
might be exhausted. The nearer
the hour came to bid farewell
thicker and thicker they gathered,
some shedding tears because OF
loved ones at home, others be-
cause of such a foreign trip.

we were all aboard travelling at a
nice speed through a beautiful
forest, all enjoying the highest
degree of merriment. Other
teachers joined us atalmost every
station on our road. Thus our
fun increased.
Alexandria was reached at 1O:-

higher pitch than ever. In order
to appease the calamity that
seemed, almost, inevitable, we all
joined hands and went hurriedIy

throngs gathered to see us pass
and gazed earnestly upon US, but
none of US dared return greet

cases. where were they? To tell
the truth some were not there.
Next in order was to purchase
ckets to Baton Rouge. The
train was somewhat late and we
were very hungry but for fear of
being left none would leave the
depot. Not many minutes later
did we wait till on came our swift
vestibule and again we were
speeding on our way towards the
Capital City.
But now, to divert all our fears
and despondcnt feelings different
were resorted to,
such as singing, speaking, preach
ing, etc. This had no sooner
grown tiresome than we were
into a land where our
eyes grew dim beholding the
most beautiful country that we
ever gazed upon. Laughter and
song was changed to pathos and
aesthetic vision. But do not let
it be understood that all were en-
tirely absorbed in outside view,

Alberta Gallatiu

AsWCAed UUkkNtlus
In the realm of romantic drama this
season, there is no production more
elaborate and picturesque than that of
Dorothy Vernon of Haddon Hall"
which Ernest Shipman has prepared
for Miss Alberta Gallatin's starring
Jour. The scenes of Mr.. Majors real
historic romance as dramatized by
raul kester, all transpire within or in
the neighborhood of Haddon Hall, the |
most picturesque and best preserved
OF ENzabethan manor houses; and
the scenery has all been painted and
constructed after actual photographs
OF the place. This work has been
divided among acknowledged experts
IN their particular field who have re-
produced some of the beautiful scenes
In and about Haddon Hall in a most
reallstic manner. The fact that
practically a whole wing of Haddon
Hall has been built on the stage will
give some idea of the massiveness
and solicity of this nose elaborate
production.
In the days of Good Queen Bess
the English Court was one of the most
deliberately and picturesquely dressed
OF all Europe, and the costumes used
in this production have been designed
from historic drawings and tapestries.
even the matter of incidental music
mas not been neglected and N. Melville
Ellis, composer of 1.-THE Marriage of
Kitty" "a Chinese Honeymoon, and
other popular successes has COM
posed complete score in the quaint
old English ballad style.
Readers will remember how delight
fully Charles Major related the
romance of Charles Brandon and Mary
Tudor in when Knighthood Was in
Flower. and how cleverly Paul
kester transferred it's principal scenes
and characters to the stage. It was
one of the few "dramatized novels
to preserve the atmosphere and plot of
the original story, while fitted to the
requirements of the stage in color,
life and dramatic climaxes. There
fore playgoers may anticipate with
pleasurable confidence the forthcom-
ing production of Dorothy Vernon
OF Haddon Hail., Mr.. Majors latest
popular historical romance, of which
Mr.. Kester is the dramatist. And those
who remember Miss Alberta Gallatin
in Cousin Kate" will realize how COM
pletely she is suited to the title role in
which she will star this season under
the direction of Ernest Shipman, who
has surrounded his star with notable
company, the members of which were
all engaged especially for the roles
they are to portray. The production
will be the attraction at the Metropoli-
tan on Wednesday Nov Z.

past fortnight. and giving cordial
invitation for her return. MIR. and
Mrs. Van Kirk have been the guests
of Mr.. and Mrs. A. G. Schulties, and
leave tomorrow evening for their
home in Bellingham, Washington,
where they are happily situated with
their son, DR.. Frank Van Kirk, and
have many friends, but still at times
long for the old days In Grand Forks.
We quote from the L.aMoure Chron-
icle a thought that pertains to other
cities as we'll:
Every town has its social leaders,
these who take the initiative in social
affairs. And with the approach of the
winter season come the STRINGS Of
the social impulses-the desire to be
entertained-to do something" Then
it is that the leaders may be of great
service to their fellows. They may de-
termine whether the form of entertain
ment to be adopted shall be worthy or
unworthy, uplifting or denoralizing;
whether the hours passed in social in
terccurse shall make for spiritual and
intellectual uplift, or be merely kill
ed" in foolish dissipation. Already
plans are being matured for the go
cial season" in LaMoure. Shall Folly
be enthroned? or may we not hope
fer better things? 1t is all a matter of
education. A Shakespeare club should
be as entertaining as a card club
and much more elevating. Nearly
everyone is fond of music; why not
make heavier demands upon our local
talent and cultivate love for good
music?"
A number Of the young people spent
a very enjoyable evening at the home
of Miss Bess billiard at Reynolds, Fri
day night. The occasion was the meet
ing of the B. B. club, and but few
of the opposite sex were invited. After
a few hours of games and fun dainty
lunch was served. Among those pres
ent were: The Misses Dean, Holmes,
Sonsterud, Drengson, Healy. Serbo.
Larson, Sanness and Schulestai and
Messrs. E!lingson, Shear, Schulestad,
K. Williams, Lebacken, Janney and H.
Williams.
At one of the English beaches they
have a children's hotel. At first it

other appropriate food that they could
not obtain at places of residence de-

supplied in abundance at the children's

In France they have at last found a
