The trottins year book for 1909 devotes
eighty-four pages as index for trotters
and PAGERS that were started In races
last season once or twenty times as the
case might be. Each pages averages a
fraction over 100 names. and at that figure
1t Is fair estimate that total of ii, 900
were reached last year. While racing as

this Is the cost of transportation and the

some idea can be formed OF the cost and
expense OF racing a single horse or big
stable 1t Is an established fact that the
number OF horsemen who own and race
two or more horses each season on the
harness turf is infinitely small compared
with those who own and race but one;
fact which proved beyond a doubt that
the Americans feeling for his favorite
light harness horse is general all over the
country, and the ambition Of breeding and
owing a fast trotter or PAGER is Unborn and
universal IN spite of the uncertainty which
always goes with racing horses and the
great cost OF gratifying this one desire
and ambition.
When the amateur end OF harness sport
is taken into consideration. the facts and
figures will show that in number OF horses,

Unique Dramatic Event That Is
Enacted In the Little Bayarian
Village Of Oberammergau Every
Ten Years Because of a Vow
Made During a Plague.
By WALTON WILLIAMS.


"HE Passion play Of Oberammer-
gau has become perhaps the
Il most famous single dramatic
event on earth. It is certainly
the most unique. Acted by peasants,
the chief of whose required qualifca-
lions are religious devotion and purity
OF life, it's dramatic force is equal to
that seen upon any stage, albeit occu-
pied by the worlds greatest actors.
The Passion play is presented every
ten years, the theory being that it shall
not be cheapened by frequency. Ober-
ammergau is little Bavarian village
surrounded by mountains It has not
been modernized except in the neces-
sary features of sewerage and santa
tion. In all other respects it is now
as it has been for centuries The peas
ANTS who present the play are wood
carvers and farmers. The financial re-
turn given to each actor is most mod
est, scarcely sufficient to pay for the
actual time given the play. Yet the
chief ambition of each of these simple
villagers is to be an actor in the s'Pas-
sionspiel.''
It was in 1858 that the plague swept
Oberammergau, the harvest Of death
claiming one-fourth of the population.
The survivors met and resolved that
every ten years thereafter they would
present the sacred scenes of the Pas
sion. after which the plague was mi
raculously stayed. That is the story,
and back Of it is one even more touch

lost his wife and children and in the
detection that followed dreamed that

Rushing to the church, the peasant
rang the bell until all the villagers had
gathered, Whereupcn he recounted his
cream and proposed that the people
enact the sorrows Of the Master on
every tenth year. The VOW was taken
then and there, and the. plague speedi-
ly ended. All this is little more than
legend. The one fact that is not leg
end is that the Passion play has been
enacted every tenth year through the
centuries that followed, the only ex-
ception being once when nearly all the
ablebodied men in the village were
absent in the wars.
Play Lasts All Day.
The play follows the Biblical nara
tive with great fidelity and has been
adapted from time to time by the vii
lage priests. Every act is preceded
by tableau, usually taken from the
Old Testament. There is also a cho-
rus, the songs Of which explain the
tableaux. The play lasts all day, with
two hours intermission at noon. 1t is
scheduled to be presented twenty-nine
times during the season, which runs
from May till September. In case the
spectators on any given day are more
than can be accommodated in the
theater, Which seats over 1000, the
play is repeated on the following day.

H. W. BAILEY SUFFERS
STROKE OF PARALY SIS
Left Side Temporarily Paralyzed.-
Judges Condition Was Somewhat
Improved This Afternoon.

While sitting in his Office, in the
city hall, yesterday afternoon at
about $3.50 o'clock, Judge H. w.
Bailey suffered a paralytic stroke,
which, while it did not prove fatal,
deprived the judge of the use of his
entire left side, including his left
arm and left leg and caused him to
be taken to his home, where he is
now confined to his bed. While his
condition is very serious it is not
believed that the paralytic stroke
would prove fatal.
Mr.. Bailey had just completed
performing kindly act when he
was stricken and only Chief of
Police Benner was present when
the judge became i'll. Chief Ben
ner pkoned to D. c. Smyth, who
took Judge Bailey to his home.
The judge was not deprived of his
speech and insisted in talking to
Mr.. Smyth, that he was all right,
and would be able to get up in a
few minutes - the indomitable
spirit and great vitality battling
against the paralysis.
DR.. Gilmore was called and gave
the judge every attention, and it
was announced early this afternoon
that the judges condition was i'm
proving.
kilograms were dispatched to
Omer Bailey, a son who was reached
in western Montana and who will
come to Bemidji Wednesday; Thayer
Bailey, another son, who was in St.
Paul and who reached here today;
Mrs. Rathman of Jamestown, N. D.,
daughter, who will arrive today,
and Mrs. Hensell of Shevlin, a
daughter, who came to the city last
night.
Mr.. Bailey is one of the oldest
and most respected citizens of Be-
midi, being judge of the municipal
court and commander R. H. Carr
Post, C. A. R. and there has been
great concern expressed by people
in all walks of life as to his condl-
ton and the possible outcome of
the paralytic stroke.
At this writing, 2 p. M, there is
every indication that the judge will
improve rapidly. He appears to
have partially regained the use of
his left leg and left arm and the
old veteran who marched with
Sherman to the sea declares he will
soon be up again.
