State Fair Attractions.

Hamline. -Vice-President O. M.
Griggs of the State Fair who Is chair
man of the committee of amusements,
is home from a trip to Chicago and
other points where he has been in
touch with the best things now OBJ
tainable for amusement features, and
is ready to announce, practically
complete, the program of specialties
for the fair of 1907.
One of the great specialties secured
is a troup of eight Bedouin Arabs
who are expert acrobats. These are
genuine Arabs wearing the costume
of the desert and showing the great
agility of people trained to constant
muscular activity and tremendous
endurance under all conditions.
A very clever act will be presented
by Willis and Hassan who are, per-
haps, the best equilibrists now before
the public. Their speciality is head
balancing with ladders etc.
Some exceedingly fine work in the
contortion line will be presented by
La Carmontella an italian contortion-
ist of European repute and Norman
the Frog Man" so called because OF
his ability to assume the most gro
tesque shapes and positions.
Comedy will be represented by
Fink's mules-exceedingly funny
Marzella and Malay who do comedy
bar act and a comedy wrestling
match, and the Johnny Jones Coun-
try Circus, laughable burlesque in
which goats, pigs, geese, dogs, cats,
donkeys and other domestic animals
take a prominent part.
Something much above the average
in trained animal showing will be
seen in Towards dogs and ponies.
They put on an act in which a man
and woman and four dogs and four
ponies participate in showing the re-
markable attainments possible for
dumb brutes.
Several fine acts will be OF the aer-
ial class. The Zamora Family is re-
garded as the finest trapeze troupe
now possible to be engaged and the
Weitzman are the premiers of the
high-wire. Greatest of all is Diavolo
the high diver who descends from an
immense height and disappears in a
lake of fire, a most horribly realistic
piece of work.
The most sensational Of all the acts,
however, is the marvellous automo-
bile which not only leaps great gap
after descending a steep incline at
high speed, but turns a complete
somersault in the air before reaching
the ground.

Shoots His Arm Off.

Willow River.-While out hunting
and fishing Peter Solak accidentally
discharged a shotgun which he was
taking from a boat where he had
been fishing, the contents entering
his left arm near the shoulder, almost
severing it from the body. He was
brought to this place Immediately,
where the physicians found it neces-
sary to amputate the arm. Mr.. Solak
is in very weak condition and may
not recover. He has wife and four
small children.

PAT SET ONLY ONE LIMIT.

All Things Earthly.

A rich man out in the suburbs who
owns large place has among the
many people employed to keep it in
shape an Irishman of whom he is par
ticularly fond on account of his I'M
conscious wit, says Harper's Weekly.
This Irishman is something of hard
drinker, and, as his income is limited,
he is more particular as regards the
quantity than the quality of his
liquids. The other day the employer,
who lad been awaiting good oppor-
turity, remarked in a kind tone, as

"Now, Pat, how long do you think

cheauens and Improves Coal.

Consul General w. r. Holloway, of
Halifax, says that the Canadian com.
mercial agent at Manchester, England,
reports an invention at that place for
depriving soft coal of it's most objec-
tionable feature by abstracting the
oils said to produce smoke, and call
ing the resulting article "coalite, -
which is something like coke in ap-
pearance and which can be furnished
at one-third the present cost of coal.
Five acres of land near Manchester
have been purchased, and large works
will be erected for it's production

Found Dead in a Cabin.

Spooner.-A man named Davis, who
used to teach school on the Canadian
side of the lake, was found dead in a
cabin on Hacket Island, one of the is
lands in the Lake of the Woods, by
a cook on Capt. Beaudro's boat. The
body of Davis, on which were night
clothes, lay on the floor. 1t seemed
as II he had tried to kindle a fire,
but died before it could be done.

GOSSIP.

Baseball has grown from insignif1'
cant to gigantic proportions within
the last 40 years, and the scientific
work of the teams delight millions OF
enthusiastic spectators during the sea-
son. The baseball "fan" sees so many
things about the game to admire that
be would probably become confused if
he attempted to describe all. Writers
are in the same predHament. Each
patron, however, feels that he has
been well repaid for the time devoted
to watching a contest between two
mines, and his description of the game
is always interesting to those unfor-
tunate enough to be absent. In gen.
eral it may be said that on no other
athletic field are the qualities of in
genuity and resourcefulness more adj
vantageously employed than on the
baseball diamond Football, to be
sure, demands the exercise of these
elements, but not in any greater de-
gree than baseball. In baseball, more
over, the hazard attending any NOM
entary lapse of attention and intelli-
gent observation is greater than in
almost any other game, because, as
we all know, game is frequently de-
cided by the passage of player from
one base, the third, to the home plate,
and even so simple and casual thing
as tumble may often result in this
loss. 1t is unnecessary to draw atten-
ton to the physical advantages to the
player of the game of baseball. No
other game can be said to exceed it
in its ability to call into activity every
muscle of the body, while insisting al,
so upon the exercise of swift and ac-
curate vision, of the most careful
judgment in gauging distances, ard
of the incest discrimination in play. In
exercising also the faculties of the
spirit, the ethical and moral sense OF
a man, the game of baseball is espe-
cially to be recommended. Self-re.
straint under the most trying circum.
stances, steadiness under the severest
provocation, such as the efforts of
partisan spectators to rattle" play
er, patience, in batsmen and pitcher
alike-these qualities are drawn upon
in every game and the man who has
the most of them in the most abun-
dant degree is, other things being
equal, usually the winner. Of course,
the most striking feature of baseball
is it's cleanliness and scientific skill.
1t may, indeed, because of this fact,
be called a kind of living chess, the
players, when perfectly matched and
moved, acting with something of the
mathematical precision of the pawns
in the most intellectual of all pastimes.
Baseball, however, possesses the add
ed interest of that element of chance
which savors every sport in the high,
est degree, and without which per-
haps no sport would be universally
popular.

Old Mystery Solved.

International Falls.-John Shaw, a
native of Ellsworth, Wis, settled on
claim on Bear river, thirty miles
west of here, in the fall of 1903. The
following June while following a
trail from his trading place to his
homestead he became lost, and de-
spite the efforts of his relatives and
neighbors no trace could be found of
him. Log drivers have just found the
skeleton of the old man on the banks
of the Bear river short distance
from his trail, they being identified
by watch and compass. Nothing
was found to indicate foul play and it
Is more than likely that the aged
homesteader died from exhaustion
and exposure. The bones were buried
on the homestead and thus ends a
mystery that has for three years been
. subject of interest in this locality.

Bobcat Attacks Rider.

Crookston.-Joseph Dobias, far
mer of Tabor township, had an ex-
citing adventure with bobcat and
perhaps would have been killed but
for the Intervention of his dog. Do
bias was riding from his farm to An
gus and the first intimation he had of
the animals presence was when it
suddenly sprang at him from the side
of the road and bit viciously at his
foot.
The animal which Mr.. Dobias was
riding was a colt, and it became fren-
zied at the presence of a wild cat and,
throwing its rider started to bolt.
The bobcat was about to leap upon
the PROSTATE man when the dog in
terfered and sprang gamely at the
creatures throat. A fierce contest en-
suec in which the dog was getting
the worst of it. By this time, how
ever, Dobias had picked himself up
and secured club. With this wea-
pom he waded into the melee and be-
tween the man and the dog the cat
was soon killed. 1t was big fellow,
measuring feet inches in length
and standing feet inches high.

Frank Hemphill.

Hemphill was seldom in shape. At the
beginning of the season he followed
rigid training rules, with the result
that he was playing better ball thar
any outfielder in the league. For some
time, however, Hemphill has not been
in shape to play single game, and
his efforts to play were piteous. A
season in a jerkwater organization
may bring him to his senses and if he
reforms he will probably be seen in a
