looked like veterans in from a long

out a proper course to pursue in road
making.

Boylen of St. Paul delivered a fine ad-

interesting takers of the convention
and his remarks were frequently APP
plauded.
The Convention opened Tuesday

ready for work and the forenoon was
taken up with reports.
In the afternoon the location of the
next convention was fixed at Elk

GREAT OODE FISKE SHOW
To Be Mt Canton Wednesday
Sept. 23, Under the Auspices
OF Canton Unity Club.\

81 will give $4,000 to anyone who
will show me a horse who Is equal ir
intelligence to Bobby" said the train
er Of a young sorrel that was being
led forth into the ring. "Bobby has
been at school for some years. While
he has not a college education, he
has an elementary knowledge of most
of the rudiments of learning. He can
add, subtract, multiply and divide,
and can make change in money"
The claims Of the keeper seemed
extravagant and it may hardly be
doubted that there were few in the
house who did not take them with a
grain Of salt. Yet Bobby made good.
A row Of figures on wooden blocks
was placed in a rack before him.
Bobby picked out numbers as they
were called by the audience. He al
so had an understanding Of digits
and when he wanted to indicate
twelve he would pick out a n and
a two. Various spectators would call
out numbers that Bobby was to add
and he always brought out the cor
rect result. GLOW much is two times
two with four added to that and the
result multiplied by tive?" the keeper
asked and Bobby picked out a four
and a zero. Bobby also counted up
the number of people on each row of
the reserved seats and gave the re-
suits by paving a certain number
Of times on the ground for each ans
wer. He counted up the ladies and
the gentlemen. He was asked how
many good-looking ladies there were
and he gave the entire number of
them all. When asked how many
good-looking gentlemen he saw, he
shook his head.
OF course these performances raised
a general laugh, and the keeper asked,
Chow do they look when they laugh
at you? Bobby raised his head in the
air, opened his mouth and drew back
his lips, showing all his teeth. Many
in the audience remarked that they
had never seen a horse grin before.
The drill of the ponies was another
remarkable feature. There were six
in the squad. At the command of
"Double Six" '"Three ABREAST, )" "Six
in line," "Halt," "Forward march,"
"Single file," Backward march,"
"Grand right and left" and others,
they went through numerous maneu-
vers in that little circle like a COM
pany of real soldiers.
CHOOSE your partners for a waltz"
cried the drill master, and the ponies
did so, keeping time with the band in
a amer that drew forth a most en-
thusiastic burst of applause from the
house.
The dogs went through some anus
ing pranks. Some pranced about on
their hind legs and others on their
fore legs. Some turned somersaults
forwards and others backwards. Some
rode ponies. Two little dramas we're
enacted by the dogs with some of the
ponies and two monkeys.
A boxing match between two OF the
larger ponies was an especially pleas
ing part of the program. The boxing
gloves were fastened to their front
hoofs and they we're muzzled in order
to avoid the danger Of either hurting
the other, after some time n was
knocked down and was carried OUT
St. Paul Dispatch.

Rome, Jan. 2O.-It is announced
that the first Cardinal who will be
appointed at the Consistory which
takes place next March will be an
italian, Mgr. Della Chiesa recently
promoted to the position of Arch
bishop Of Bologna, The prelate was
FOR many years connected with the
office Of the Papal Secretary Of
state, the right hand man Of both
Cardinals Rampolla and Merry del
Val.
It is considered n matter Of mys-
terry here that he should have been
removed from his position, not only
because Of his services to the church,
but also because of his experience in
diplomatic matters. The Italian gov
ernment already has assured the
Holy See that the prelate will be
granted an eXequatur, so that he
soon Will come into possession Of the
temporalities Of his new see I'm which
he succeeds the late cardinal Syau-

Chicago. Ill, Jan. c0.-The board
of puolic health as well as the medl-
cal men of the city are at loss now
to check the terrible epidemic OF
grippe which has steadily grown
worse.
The disease scored a new mortality
record-even above the epidemic or
1SS9-when Sc deaths were recorded
during the past week.
ing the past week.
Those who fell the victims to the
malady were principally aged persons
or very young children.
The grippe, from which two-thirds
of the people in Chicago are now
said to be suffering is of a particu-
larly acute form and frequently ends
in pneumonia.
Members of the board OF health
stated today that the records showed
the disease more prevalent now than
at any time in the history of the city
and it was proving more severe in
the averaeg cases.
1t is probable that steps will be
taken to place the city in as cleaniy
a condition as possible ana that
every effort will be made to give
medical attention to the poorer peo-
pie among whom 1t is causing many
deaths.
Some physicians report that they
have hundreds of cases of grippe
and are forced to work day and night
to care for their patients.
New York Sncezing Too.
New York. Jan. 2O.-Grippe Is
prevalent here and has caused many
deaths. 1t has steadily grown worse
since the first cases were reported in
early winter. While conditions are
not as bad as in the last epidemic
some fifteen years ago, still they are
serious enough to keep the medical
fraternity busy day and night.
Pittsburg Reports Improvement
Pittsburg, Pa, Jan. .o.-rhe cpl
demic of grippe which has prevailed
in this city for some six weeks, caus-
ing many deaths, particularly among
the older people, has to some ex-
tent abated although the physicians
report that they are kept busy car
ing for grippe patients even yet. The
mortality for several weeks, wa'
large.
