! When the Elks awoke this morn
ing and looked out on the bleak
dawn there was a general snort of
displeasure at the prospects of
inclement weather during the day.
There were leaden skies overhead
and the streets were soaked from the
heavy rainfall of last night.
However, it is impossible to
dampen the spirit of an Elk. Every
body got out quickly and were on
the streets early this morning giving
one another good cheer and express
ing the wish that the weather man
would eventually get hold of the
clear-up" value early in the day.
Last night the Crookston band
came in from Crookston for the pur-
pose of furnishing the music for the
convention during the three days.
The band and bunch of Elks
were met at the train by the men,
bers of the reception committee and
were escorted to the Markham hotel.
The band is composed of the follow
ing members, with G. Oliver Riggs
as direction:
Irwin Burkhardt, c. Brunette, Carl
Lukkason, Eddie Peterson, Harry
Burk, Jack Driscoll, Walter Mark.

the ardor of the visitors or the local
people. It is the intention of the
local committee and the citizens,
generally, to caray out every part Of
OF the program. Nothing but a
steady downpour or heavy rain,
thunder storm of earthquake would
deter those in charge from pulling
off the good things which have been
prepared. The ball players appear
to be willing to play even if they
have to use boats, and the spirit of
being pleasant despite adverse con-
ditions permeates the breast of
every local and visiting Elk and
private citizen, which exemplifes
the good fellow" for which an Elk
is noted, and promotes the following
sentiment among Elks:
It is easy to be pleasant,
When life flows along like song
But the man who's worth while
Is the man who can smile
When everything goes dead wrong"

operation in this city for some time
closed its doors last Thursday evening
aud have departed The cause of this
action was lack of business but it
was hardly to be expected that the peo-
pie would care to spend their evenings
indoors at this season of the year.
Each paper that has come to our
table the past two weeks contain a
story of extensive damage done by
prairie fires With the papers of this
state full of such articles it would seem
that people would be more careful in
setting fires. In this issue we tell of
fire north of this city in which one life
was lost 1t is for the safety to life
and property of our oSn that we use
great care in this matter.

down the schutes when they met the

game a Webster victory. Highland

this sport need not feel that they are.

That Brother of1Mine..

The Webster World and number of
my insurgent friends have taken a
great deal of pains to tell me that they
met my brother at the Huron conven-
ton and I trust they derived a great
deal of pleasure from the knowledge
that he is an iusurgent. Momentarhy
it did surprise me some as he has never
mentioned the fact to me but on thinA-
ing it over can we'll understand the
reasons knowing him for over 30 years.
The probable reason for his not telling
me is that he is ashamed of himself ana
the reason he is one ia that be has been
contaminated by association with the
people in that hot house of insurgency,
Washington Springs.
1t is also probable shat the insurgents
in that viciniay are possessed of some
political decency and if so, his views
are not to be wondered at. / will also
say that he is about five years younger
than the writer and is the baby of the
family and SO, Of course, is very easily
spoiled, but predict that before he is
FIVE years Older he will also be a stall.
wart and I am sure that il he lived in
Day county at the present time and
became acquainted with the tactics of
the Day county bunch of insurgent
leaders he would be the most rabid
stalwart in Day county. Bro. Bronson
should hope that he will not make
Webster visit before after June 9th
for il he does, and becomes conversant
with the situation here, he will prob.
ably return home a stalwart.

Two bad prairie fires near Waubay
Tuesday did a great deal of damage to
property. One east of that city burned
large barn belonging to Mr. Owens
and in the fire west Ray Mullom lost q
barn. These two buildings besides a
large loss of hay and fences only adds
to the large list of losses recently by the
carelessness of some one in setting fires
without the proper protection.
A very disastrous prairie fire swept
over large section of country north
of here around the fort in which Mrs.
Freeman was burned to death. In
letter received by Michael Sasse from
his SON, Will, at Britton, says the fire
caught the barn on the Freeman ranch
and the lady went to the barn to try
and save the horses, when her clothes
caught fire and she was so badly burned
she died the day following. Her nus

who has been living with his wife and
two children at 6345 Pallis street, left
home last eek leaving a note behind
stating that he had gone away from
Woodlawn and never expected to re-

At first Mrs. Fordner took the matter
more as joke. but yesterday when she
had failed to find any trace of her hus-
band, she notified the police.
AS far as is known Mr. Fordner was
not in love with any other woman, as
he had always been an obedient hus-
band and had spent his evenings at
home with his wife.
Fordner is a barber by trade and
may be found working in one of the
hundreds of shops in Chicago. The
missing man is described as being 81
years of age, height five feet nine

SCARED BY A MAD DOG
Big st. Bernard Creates
Pandemonium in
South Chicago.

AT S;so O'Clock yesterday a large ST.
bernard dog went mad on the streets
OF south Chicago at the corner of
Nlnety-hrst street and Commercial ave-
nue..
II happened at the hour when the
school children were returning from
school TO heir homes and it came run
ming, swapping and growing. Children
ran III all directions and older people
made for places of safety At the crit
ieal moment and just as the dog had
sprang at little eight-year-old Mary
MatchleWez, Lieutenant Smith, from
the 18th precinct station, pulled out
his revolver and fired two shots at the
animal, one taking effect in the dogs
pack and the other in the neck With
one last growl and snap the mad animal
fell back in a heap to one side of the
street dead
The dog had been seen in various
parts of South Chicago during the day
and when examined it was found that
1T had been shot in seven different
places. officers Tim Sullivan and Will
liam Gamer encountered the dog this
morning at Eighty eighth street and
Buffalo avenue and upon seeing that
1t was frothing at the mouth fred three
shots into the body but the animal ran
under house and at the mouth fired
under a house and both officers sup
posed that they had killed it. However,
they were mistaken as the dog showed
up again about IL o'clock, this time
Officer Thos- Dwyer attempted to kill
H. but two shots from his revolver re-
fused to even stun the animal.
When the big dog came on a run
down Nfnety-first street, past CONNER
cfal avenue, there was a scrampering
of children and grown people as we'll
and the dog was given a wide berth,
several people narrowly escaped being
bitten by the vicious brute and but for
the unerring aim of Lieutenant Smith
undoubtedly some of the smaller chill
dren would have been bitten.
The dog so far has been unclaimed
and as 1t was without muzzle or IL
cense tag the chances are that the
owner will never come to the front to
claim the beast.
Yesterdays incident was only one of
several that have been occurring with
an alarming rapidity through the city
and is another reminder that to protect
your own life as well as your children's
you should have your dog muzzled.
