Brinkman for several days, are
pleasing the audiences very much
with their fine exhibition of marks
menship. Come and see them, it is
worth the price of ADM ssion alone.

WOMAN STRANCLES
POWERFUL MAD DOG
Kills Massive Beast After Des.
perate Encounter.

Memphis, Tenn, July 22-In a des-
perate fight, which lasted ten minutes,
Mrs. Mary E. Forester choked to
death a powerful mad dog which had
attacked her.
The dog, a sixty pound shepherd,
standing two feet high, the pet of the
neighborhood, attacked Mrs Forces
ter, who hardly weighs 100 pounds,
after he had bitten Miss Mamie Ditto,
a neighbor.
Mrs. Forester turned upon the dog
as he seized the hem of her skirt and,
grasping him under the head, closed
her fingers about his neck and began
to grip. All over the porch the wonl-
an and dog fought, the dog several
times nearly pulling his captor from
the porch. Feebler and feebler be-
came the CANNES strength as the
fight progressed until finally the mad
dened brute collapsed and fell to the
porch dead.

CARS COLLIDE
AT HIGH SPEED
Forty Persons Hurt, Some
Probably Fatally.
ACCIDENT NEAR CHICAGO

Trolley Coaches, Packed to the Doors
and Going Forty Miles an Hour
Crash With Terrific Force and DC
cupants Are Hurled in All Direc
tions-FaiIure of Motorman to STOP
at Meeting Place the Cause.
Chicago, July 22.-Nearly forty per-
sons were injured, some of them prob.
ably fatally and eleven so severely
that they had to be taken to hospitals.
in headon collision between two AL
rOra, Elgin and Chicago cars at Love
dale station, four miles north of Au
rora. The disaster occurred when the
coaches were each running at speed
estimated at forty miles an hour and
the crash when they came together
was terrific. The two cars were tel
escoped more than half their length
Passengers, among whom were nearly
fifty women, were thrown through
windows and tossed to the side of the
tracks several feet away. Just afte1
the wreck occurred the cars caught
fire from the trolley wire and began
to shoulder, but the uninjured pas
sengers soon put out the blaze with
water from a nearby riyulet and
dragged the wounded to places OF
safety. From there the injured were
fo1z to op1,vr fo1
houses in automobiles and farmers
wagons. The line at the scene of the
wreck is a single track one. At Love.
dale station is a switch.
Here, according to officials of the
road, southbound car from Elgin, in
charge of Motorman s. Bell, was sup
posed to stop and wait until a north
bound car from Aurora passed it. In
stead of stopping his car, which car
rled from eighty to one hundred pas
sengers, Motorman Bell went ahead.
He started down 10 per cent grade
around curve at the regulation
speed Of forty miles an hour, thinking,
he said, that he had clear track.
Just as he neared the bottom of the
grade and swung around the curve
the northbound coach on the way
from Aurora to Elgin came in sight.
It also carried from eighty to one
hundred passengers and was running
at nearly the same speed as the car
approaching it.
The motormen of the two cars
turned on the airbrakes, but they did
not appear to have worked Immediate
ly and at the last minute, seeing that
the collision could not be averted,
both of them jumped, rolling down the
bank, but escaping with slight injur-
les. Many passengers, who also saw
the danger, leaped from the cars and
escaped with only few bruises.

TWO ARRESTS MADE
IN The GOULD CASE
Alleged Attem pit to Manufac-
ture Evidence.

New York, July 22.-According to
the statement made by milliner's
apprentice, Miss Mabel B. McCaus-
land, a remarkable plot was revealed
to manufacture evidence against
Frank J. Gould in the suit for divorce
which his wife, Helen Kelley Gould,
recently brought against him. Two
arrests were made by the district at
torney's Office. Harry S. Mousley, a
private detective, and Miss Julia
Fleming are the persons arrested.
The police also expressed a desire to
question Mrs. Ben Teal, wife Of we'll
known stage manager. The arrests
were made under dramatic circum-
stances in an apartment house in Fiji
ty-ninth street, near, Seventh avenue
The first known of the plot was
when Miss McCausland approached
Mr.. Gould's attorneys and told of the
alleged plot to injure their client.
The young woman was then taken to
the district attorneys office and made
full statement Of the part she had
played in the alleged conspiracy. The
substance of the girls statement was
that the matter was preached to her
ten days ago, when, it is alleged, Miss
Fleming, who represented herself as
coming from Mrs. Teal, tried to in
terest her in the scheme. Miss Nc
Causland asserted that she was prom
1sed $1,000 if she would make a state
ment compromising Mr.. Gould. She
had several interviews, she said, with
Miss Fleming, Mrs. Teal and Detec-
tive Mousley, at which the details Of
what she was to testify to we're dis
cussed. Miss McCausland said she
consented to go into the scheme, a
statement was drawn up and she
signed 1t and her signature was wit
messed by a notary. Later Miss Nc
Causland said she became alarmed
and decided to notify the authorities.
Arrangements were then made to
have the girl attend conference be-
tween the alleged conspirators and a
detective from the district attorneys
Office accompanied her and there
made the arrests.

A Card to the Public.

In these stirring days the practical
in education takes precedence.
That knowledge is power is true
only when it gives direction to
activity. You cannot make an
energetic business man by examining
his memory. Stuffed birds do not
sing.
But small per cent of the youths
of our land can be accommodated in
the already over-crowded professions.
The many are preparing to fight the
battle of life along other lines. The
great commercial world presents the
most attractive field.
The age is practical and demands
practical men and women.
A business apprentice at II is a
serf at 80, a turnkey at 40, and
wait at so. Success in business
means more than 1t does in any
other field of endeavor.
The Bemidii Business College will

How many young men and women
of Bemidji realize this? Will you
kindly drop me a line if you are
interested?

Animals Are Not Proud.

Professor Schuster asserts that ami
mails lack moral feeling entirely, none
Of their acts being immoral or moral in
the broad sense, and that they have no
trace of a sense Of shame or Of honor
Their courage, he declares, is "a mere
Impulse Of nature" and Of moral cour-
age they know nothing. He continues:
"And animals have no pride in the
sense Of mans conception Of that quail
ity. They are not proud Of their kind,
Of their kindred, Of their individuality.
They neither have an individuality nor
are Individual. Animals are not proud
because they have no consciousness of
the scope Of the value Of their kind, Of
their enterprise or Of any other form
Of their capability. They are neither
supercilious, proud nor the contrary

The large building rapidly filled
with smoke and the children, scream.

With the exception of slight bruises
and fright, none of the children were
