eleven, offering to play Grand Rap
ids, for any amount from 500 to
5000 side, stipulating(in addition
to the game being played at Grand
Rapids, the home of his team)that
the officials be selected from Bemidji
and from Grand Rapids. -.~
AS O'Day's proposition was mani
testify unfair, and favored his team,
Mr.. Rutledge, answering the letter
for Comany K, offered to play
game for 500 a side at Cass Lake
Gin Cass county, the officials to be
selected from other towns outside of
Grand Rapids and Bemidji, the prop
osition being fair in every particular.
The Grand Rapids team played
at Cass Lake yesterday and the
proposition was again put to Mr..
O'Day, over the telephone. An en-
phatic refusal to play his team any
where except at Grand Rapids, in
Itasca county, was the answer. Mr..
Rutledge agreed to play anywhere
outside of Itasca or Beltrami coun-
ties, Beltrami county being the home
of the Bemidji team.
Manager O'Day absolutely refused
to play anywhere except in his home
county, and as there is bad feeling
between the members of the two
teams, the Company K boys refuse
to play on the Grand Rapids stamp
ing ground, but in all fairness offered
to play anywhere outside of Itasca
county.
The Company K team has
improved wonderfully since the last
game with Grand Rapids, and there
is some money here that would be
wagered that the locals would defeat
Grand Rapids should they ever
come together again, on neutral
grounds.

neys the help they need to perform
their work.
If you have any, even one, of the

this Bemidji testimony:
Mrs. Mary A. Cochran, living at
1914 Mississippi Ave., Bemidji,
Mimi, says: II suffered from rheu-
matism for over ten years, and never
expected to get relief. My kidneys
were badly disordered for two or.
three years and despite the many
remedies tried my condition did
not become any better. At last
Doan's Kidney Pills were brought to
my attention, and I procured a box

Mr.. Taft's contribution to the history
OF his country is to be found in his
deeds.
No public man has been more indus
tr1ous In watching over and lettering
labor conditions and urging legislation
favorable to labor than has Mr.. Taft,
and the laboring men of America are
wise to that fact.

NIAGARA ALARMS
AS SUICIDE RES0RT
Eleven Deaths Since July Three
Women in The Whirlpool.

Niagara Falls, Oct. s.--To the grave
alarm of the reservation commissioner
and the horror of the people Of both
the American and Canadian cities, Mia
CARA Falls has gained notoriety as a
suicide resort more rapidly this season
than its fame as place OF pleasure has
grown in years.
Eleven violent deaths since July have
caused the state authorities to con.
slider seriously what further measures
may be adopted to prevent respondent
persons throwing themselves into the
fascinating whirlpool or seeking the en-.
trancing beauties of the le-dotted
cataract as the scene for taking their
lives by bullet or poison.
The suicide of Mrs. L. d. Draper of
Saginaw, Mich, by eluding the vigil
ance OF the guards and throwing herself
hcadlong over the rail into the river
above the American falls. impressed
the growing problem on Supt Perry and
he commissioners.
Since July five persons, three wom-
en- and two men. have been seen in
their death plunge. and three other men
whose suicide was unobserved, have
been found drowned in the gorge.

JEROME LEAVES THAw CASE.
Disgruntled at the Action of Justice
Mills.

White Plains, n. T., Oct. s.--After
charging that Harry X Thaw was still
a dangerous paranolac and recently had
threatened to kill himself, District At
torney Jerome withdrew from the ease
yesterday when Justice Mills refused to
transfer the hearing on the question Of
Thaw's sanity to New York county.
Thereupon Justice Mills declared that ne
would name two experts to examine
Thaw as to his sanity between yester-
day and Saturday and settle the case
upon their report on Monday. The trout
bic began when Jerome declared that
unless Justice Mills transferred the case,
he (leromel would take no part in it..
He declared that Thaw was dangerous
paranoiac and since mis- Incarceration at
Matteawan had threatened to take his
own life. Judge Mills then refused to
transfer the case, saying that he did so
because trial of the question OF Thaws
sanity would not be a long one and would
not cost the county much.
Mr., Jerome quickly said with such
ruling OF the court he had no other alter
native but to withdraw from the case.

Goddard and St. MlchaerS on
Foot Ball GridirOn
GODDARD WAS STRONGER
The Local Team Ought to Have Won
Yesterdays Game With the Wi
nooski college--Did Most Of
the Rushing.

In the opening game Of the football
season yesterday afternoon Goddard
seminary played a no.score game with
the st. Mchaels college eleven Of Wi
noosk. Goddard started off making
long gains almost at will and IL looked
81 though she would score in the first
few minutes of the game but her slow
ness in getting off their plays, costly
fumbles and two poor attempts in the
first half at making forward passes
killed her chances for a victory.
st. Micsael's kicked off to Goddard
Mt the start Of the game and Harrison
was downed on the colleges 35.yard
line after running in with the ball IA
yards. GODDARD then rushed the ball on
light and left end formation plays to
her own 95-yard line where she was
penalized is yards for holding. Scampi-
nj was then sent through the line for
a n-yard gain. In the next play the
ball was passed to Scampini who made
forward pass of Is yards but the
ball struck the ground and had to be
brought back.
After gaining but Ave yards in two
more rushes Scampini made another for
ward pass which Alexander fumbled
and st. Michael's got the ball. st.
ALehael's fumbIed 90 the first rush
but held the ball The visitors failed
to gain around their left end in the
next rush and then punted 20 yards.
Shina caught the ball for Goddard and
rushed it back five yards to the semi.
nary's 45 yard line. Goddard then
rushed the ball to within Is yards of
the goal, gaining 10 yards of the dis
tsnce an penalties on the visitors for
of sides, when time was up for the
half t
The last half was practically repe.
stition OF the first. Goddard kicked of
TO st. AIchael's who. being unable to
rush the ball with any success, tried
the forward pass and made two gains
of 20 yards each. but the third time
Scampini received the pass and the ball
went to Goddard on her own 20-yard
line. Goddard then rushed the ball
back to the center Of the field where
she lost it on downs for the first time
in the game. After gaining Is yards
around right end ST. MichaePs made an
on-side pass and punted 20 yards TO
Wardner. Goddard then rushed the
ball as far as her 90 yard line when
time was up.
The two teams were quite evenly
matched in weight but Goddard showed
the stronger in defensive work and ner
backs, Alexander, Wardner and Scamp
nj did good work in carrying the ball.
Owing to lateness in starting the game
the time of the halves had to be cut
down to Is minuts so that the visitors
would have time to catch the 5:45
