SHIPS THAT NEVER RETURN
There Were 9S6 Vessels That Went
 Down Last Year in the Sea

Robert Welles Ritchie. in Harper's Weekly.
 Careful French statitscians compile each year for the Bureau Veritas a rec ord of the accidents and losses suf- fered for a 12 month by merchant ma rine of all nations from which data are obtanable. The yearly summary put forth by the Bureau Veritas Is counted authoritative by all maritime men owners, agents, underwriters. Few who Toll in the palm gardens or loiter on the roadways of the swift cities of ease that cross the Atlantic know the Blu reau Neritas, it's record of the toll gath cred by that complacent sea down-far down-below the rails.
 Nine hundred and eighty-six of the worlds merchant marine, steam and sail, totally lost in the year 1908. say these careful French statitisicans, and this tally recognizes only steam vessels of over 100 tons burden. Such the record of complete destruction, and the follow ing the count of damage not irrepara- ble, 4273 steamers injured by fire, col lision, standing, stress of weather and other causes. The destruction varies from year to year: in 1907 there were 1104 total losses among merchant ships in 1905, 103S steamships and sailing vessels were gripped by the sea.

JOHNSON IN TRAINING
Seems The Dark Pusson" Is Not Working Hard in Preparation for What He Says 'Is Fight of

By RICHARD DAHLGREEN

London, September 3O.-(Special) )-rhat Danny Maher's recent experience with the racing authorities has in no wise im- paired his standing in the racing world is indicated by the announcement just made that the little American will ride again next year as first jockey for Lord Rose bery
 This also dsposes of the rumor always current at this season that Maher lad made up his mind to retire from the turf, or at least from riding. AS a matter of fact Maher is riding as well as he ever did, is in receipt of an income a cabinet minister might envy, likes the game, as fe remarked to me the other day. Retire? Why should I retire? What is there 1 could do which suits me so well and at which I could earn such an income? I do not expect to retire until I can no longer ride, and that I hope will be a long time from now.,'
 The other day Maher was standing out side the weighing room on Moulsey Hurst, 1iis hands deep in his pockets, his mind deeper still in meditative mood. Along came friend who cried:
 Cheer up. Danny. what's the matter? Anything gone amiss?"
 "Oh, mo-" brightly responded the jockey, coming suddenly to earth again. q was just thinking how strange tt is that nobody ever addresses me as Dan iely'
 The victory of Prince Palatine in the Doncaster St. J.eger stakes was the re- suit largely of Frankie O'Neil's skill fin the saddle. The American jockey handled T. Pilkington's colt cleverly, avoiding the many traps that his adversaries set fer him.
 O'Neil is the one jockey that has man. aged to 'come back after a long absence from the saddle. In 1905-6 he was the best and most successful rider in the United States. He retired then and with Fred Burlew campaigned a stable of race horses In 190S when the anti-racing bills were passed, ONeil packed up and moved to France. After watching the French and English jockeys ride he decided to re- turn to the saddle. He did so, and wan so many races that w. H. Vanderbilt en- gagged him at a big salary
 Recently in France O'Neil rode three winners one afternoon and finished sec ond with his other three mounts. Had any man bet $5 straight and place on O'Neil s mounts he would have won $5SS

From the Toledo Blade
 While surgeons were attempting to re- move a peanut kernel, which had lodged in his windpipe an hour before, Leo Ow- czarzak, 4-year-old son of Mir. and Mrs. Thomas Owezarzak, 1442 Tecumseh street. died at 1:45 Monday afternoon while on the operating table at Robnwood hospital. According to the operating surgeon leatn was due to suffocation.
 While the child was eating peanuts one of the kernels lodged in his throat. After the child's mother had made an unsuc- cessful effort to dislodge the obstruction a physician was summoned. The doctor found that the kernel had lodged in he windpipe, and the child was hurried to the hospital. Before he arrived the little fell low became unconscious.

 Now" he continued, those roosters came out of the same coop. When one
 of them crows the other must crow That is the way roosters have, when they are brought up together "All right, if they will crow as you say" answer Magistrate Fitch. If oEC doesn't follow the other crow then you lose. Do you agree?" "Sure," said Cohen.

SARAH BERNHARDTS TOMB Sublime Tragedienne Is Making Preparation for Her Final End

Paris Correspondence Pail Mall Gazette.
 Belle Isle, off the Brittany coast, is, as most people know, the summer residence of Sarah Bernhardt. For years past La Divine has spent her holidays there, Ssh ing among the rocks near her home, play ing tennis, going for long walks, and gen. orally living the simple life. Though she has purchased the land about her house to keep out the intrusive neighbor, she can not bribe away the tourist, who comes cn bicycle or on foot to gaze at her original residence and sometimes stands sentinel by the hour before the door in the hope of catching a glimpse of the great ac- tress.
 The hot weather is passed agreeably enough on this point of land which stretches out into the broad Atlantic. At the extreme end Sarah Bernhardt is hay ing her tomb erected. It is one of her original ideas to prepare not merely her sarcophagus, but it's final abiding place. And so in few weeks will rise from the storm beaten rocks 'the mausoleum in which will rest all that is mortal of the sublime tragedienne. The conception is thoroughly poetic that she shall. even in death, seem to glance out. as beacon light, across the waters, just now 'ying calm under the hot September sun. These preparations for her final end show that La Bernhardt intends to be original ana picturesque to the last

In This Vicinity.

Officials of the Minneapolis & st.
Louis railway, accompanied by sew
eral engineers, have spent the last
six weeks in close examination of
the territory lying in eastern Polk
county. Pennington, Beltrami county,
eastern Marshall and Roseau They
have criss-crossed the country by au-
tos and teams in all directions. They
say they will build somewhere
through this section next season, but
will not state just where. They are
seeking direct and productive route
towards Winnipeg. One route ex-
amined was eighteen miles east of
Thief River Falls and came from the
direction of Bagley, in Clearwater
county, and continued northwesterly
towards the Canadian boundary An
other route was towards Thief River
Falls and continued to Roseau and
north to Winnipeg. The former route
will tap an unoccupied country of
rich prairie land, all well settled, and
capable of producing a heavy traffic.
The route through this city is short
er, and more direct, and will also
traverse much good new country.

POTATO CLAIMS MADE.
Cass County Men Say They Make Net
Profit of More Than $50
Per Acre.
HOW ABOUT BELTRAMI COUNTY?

: =
Are the Beltrami county farmers
going to permit someone else to run
away with. the potato prize?r
If not, notify the Pioneer of your
yield and prof -. --.-,--.
The Minneapolis Journal says:
"Cass county is in with the first
answer to The Journals question
about yields of potatoes in Minnesota,
and the case Of a farmer who got
$50.42 an acre from a potato crop is
cited by Jay P. Brewer of Pine River.
The yield was 40 bushels to the
acre. Mr.. Brewer has four burbank
potatoes, he says, that weigh ten
pounds together.
Weber e Hill planted eleven
acres of potatoes, one and half
miles north of Pine River. They
hired the work done. Including seed,
harvesting and marketing the total
costwas $4,000. The yield was
1887 bushels and fifteen pounds ov-
er. Mr.. Brewer bought the potatoes
at 40 cents bushel. He paid $774.90
for the lot,' which left $554.60 net
for Weber & Hill, or $50.42 an acre.
although Cass county was in
first with a report, the older potato
growing portion of the state is not
to be outdone by northern Minneso-
ia, and GAINESVILLE today sends in the
record of Charles Bergquist, farmer
near that place, who sold thirteen
acres of potatoes for $1,6S4, while
Frank Perry, a farmer also near Bar
nesville, got ESQ bushels to the acre.
"Osakis, Mimi, is also in with a
good report, ePter Butler, near that
town, getting $500 bushels of pota-
toes from twelve acres of land, a
yield of 217 bushels to the acre, or
ZIG 2=3 bushels, to be exact.
con one acre separately planted to
the Rural New York variety, he got
3OS bushels: This was done, Mr..
Butler says, on old land that had
been formerly devoted to wheat rails

Board of Education Contemplates
Putting Irons" on High School.

At the regular meeting of the
board of education last evening the
proposition of placing storm win
dows on the 107 windows at the
High School building was discussed
and the idea of testing out an iron
arrangement whereby the windows
are made weather proof. The iron
device is easily adjusted and re-
moves the necessity of putting on
and taking off the cumbersome storm
windows. The expense of installa-
ton, however, may prevent their
purchase. The usual monthly bills
were allowed. Directors Smith, Roe,
