DIES NEXT DAY AT HOSPITAL.

E. O.. Berg, a business man Of
Madison was killed by falling under
the wheels of a passenger train at
Marietta last week.
Both feet were severed just above
the ankles. His son. Louis Berg and
DIR. Geire took the unfortunate man
in an automobile from Marietta to
Madison where he was attended at
the hospital.
Death Soon Followed Accident
The loss Of blood and shock, COM
bined with his age, proved too sew
ere and he died the next day with
out being able to give an account of
how the accident occurred.
Out on Pleasure Trip
Mr.. Berg had been to Aberdeen
on the President Taft excursion run
by the M. & St. L. railroad. Others
in the party say he had been the life
of the trip out and back. After the
train left Marietta he was missed.
At Madison word was received of
the accident at Marietta.
Got Off AT Wrong Station
No one seems to know just how it
It's evident Mr.. Berg
for some reason left the train at
that station. perhaps thinking it was
Madison. Possibly he fell under the
wheels when trying to reboard the
moving train after discovering his
mistake.
Mr.. Berg was well known through
out this section of the state.

ARMORY PLANS
ARE RECEIVED
Building to Cost About 1000
When Fitted Up In Latest
Style
SPECIFICATIONS ARE COMPLETED.
Structure to Have % Foot
Corner Posts With Finish
ed Basement
WILL CONTAIN BIG STAGE.
Drill Hall and Auditorium to
Be Fifty-six by Seventy
two Feet
WILL CONTAIN BIG STAGE.

Plans and specifications for the
new armory have been received by
the officers of Company L.
They call for building which
would cost in St. Paul $4,000 but
which it is estimated can be built
here for SD, 900 and by making GER
tain changes in the general nature
of the material used and leaving part
of the basement and the second story
unfinished perhaps that can be cut
little.
Front of Pressed Brick
The proposed building which is to
be erected on the site of the present
shoe shop across the street from
Lobdelps garage, will have % foot
corner posts and an imposing and
beautiful front of pressed brick.
Upon the front will appear the
words: "Armory. Company L, End.
Ree.-!M. -As- G.
To Have Splendid Basement
The side walls will either be of
brick or cement. bids on each ma
terial are to be asked for. The roof
will be of composition.
The basement is to contain the
kitchen, dining room, ordnance
room, lockers, bath rooms, rifle
range and bowling alley. Doubtless
the bowling alley will not be put in
at once.
A Mammoth Drill Hall
On the main floor will be the drill
rom. II x Sc feet, with stage, Is
feet deep and % feet wide, with
dressing rooms on either side. Also
there are officers rooms in the front
of the building. These are required,
it is said, as the war department
may send officers to drill the COM
pany.
The second floor is given up to
balcony rooms which doubtless will
not be finished when the building is
first erected.
Has SI2,5OO On Hand
The company now has on hand
S12. 800 to be used on the armory.
Before the work is started, however,
it is understood it must have depos-
tied with the state treasurer the full
of the cost of the structure.
Probable, another $1,000 will be
raised and turned over TO the state.
One of The Best i'm State
The site has been accepted by the
attorney general and the next move
will be to receive bids. This will be
done at once, but it now seems GER
tain that no work will be done on
the building until next spring.
When completed, along the lines
indicated in the plans, it will be one
Of the finest. most artistic and COM
plete armories in the state and will
be decided acquisition to the city.

CARNIVAL COMING IS
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
ENTERTAINMENT AFFORDED is
HIGH GLASS; NARDMORE THE
WEEK OF APRIL 10.

Speaking of the Nat Reiss carni'
val which comes TO Ardmore under
the auspices of the Ardmore Fire
Department the week beginning Mon
day, April 10. the Beatrice (NebJ
Enterprise says:
while the show attendance was
rather light last night, the big lot
was well filled with people who had
gone down to take in the Nat Reiss
shows. With a good list OF attrac-
tions, this company is well worth
seeing and every attraction is clean,
moral and entertaining. About the
first thing to meet the vision of the
grounds in the way of an attraction
is the jumping horse carousal. Next
in order comes the Old Plantation,
with a number of clever coon dane
ers and singers They put up a good
show and thoroughly entertain theit
audiences with their exceptionally
clever work The next place to be
visited is Gay Paree." While
great many people might feel a lit
tie backward or timid about ventur-
ing into Gay Paree," implying from
the name that it is not moral enough
to be seen, it might be said that they
need have no fear but can afford to
take the chance and visit the little
theater, seeing the girls work in
series of refined songs, and doing a
number of clever dances, also their
clever work in posing. Along with
the rest of the shows it is well worth
taking a look. To vary the order of
visiting each place in regular order,
few short steps across the lot
and you can see Irene, the flying
lady, or as she is called, the "Hu-
man Butterfly" Allowing herself to
be placed in a semi-comatose con
dition of hypnotic state, the profes
sor causes her to float about in
midair The act is one that is en-
tirely mystifying, especially so when
any one is allowed the privilege of
investigating for themselves that
there are no wires by which she
is carried around in the air.
The deep sea divers are another
interesting attraction, and the way
in which a diver works under water
dition one of the divers enters the
water without a suit of armor and
remains under water for nearly
three minutes while his mate demon
strates the way in which dead bod
les are recovered and closes the
show with a demonstration of how
a vessel is oftentimes raised to the
surface. Don't miss this feature,
which is instructive as well as en-
tertaining.
Doubling back over the ground,
remember to pay visit to the Bo-
hemian Glass Blowers. They make
anything desired out of glass, and
do it while you wait. 1t is web
worth while to anyone who has new
er had the opportunity to see any
of this kind of work to visit the
bohemian Glass Blowers, and watch
them turn out the work. Then there
is the Crazy House, as well as the
outside attractions"
