26 Die AT PICTURE SHOW
Revised List Of Dead Prepared o:
Panic Stricken Spectators at
Cannonsburg.
BOY HEARS CLICK, YELLs FIRE"

Canonsburg, Pa, Aug. 28.-A re-
vised list of the dead shows a total
of 26 victims in the panic in the lit
tie Canonsburg opera house here Sat-
urday night. twenty-five others are
in serious condition and 80 more
suffering minor hurts. All fatalities
resulted from suffocation. The panic
was inexcusable. ..
During the performance the NOV
ing picture machine developed a
slight defect. There was "a sharp
clicking sound heard in the .operat-
ing room over the rear Of the audi
torium, a small boy shouted "Fire!"
brawny Miner Bolue Dubrowski,
foreigner, fed in terror down an
aisle and in few moments scores OF
people, most of them women and lit
tie children, were piled in a writhing,
screaming, fighting mass in the stair
way leading from the street.
Women and children were crushed
and damned as they struggled fran
tically to escape from the supposed
conflagration.
At the head of the stairs the big
miner tripped and rolled down the
steps, sweeping the others from their
feet, who were standing in line, wait
ing for the second show.
In a few seconds there was an in
describable tumble of human forms
those fleeing in terror and those who
were struggling to enter the little
play house.

On his farm 20 miles south of
Bemidji, H. J.tSmith has an acre
of tobacco ready to pick. A sam
pie plant was brought to the Pho
neer Office today, and is on dis
play here, which measures feet
in height. ...
4 One of the many leaves meas
ures 3 feet in length by IS inch
es in width.
Cigarmakers tell Mr.. Smith
that the plants are worth from
Is cents to $3.50 pound. II
This is the second year that
Mr.. Smith has raised tobacco and
he is enthusiastic over it's cul-.
ture as profitable crop in
Northern Minnesota.
IF the farmers in this district
but knew that $1,000 worth of
tobacco could be grown on one
acre they would consider the
problem seriously" said Mr..
Smith, who has made the tobac-
co raising a study. 'The plants
I have on my farm can not be ex-
celled anywhere in the United
States outside of the far SOUTH"

LEANS WIN, II TO 1

Fat Brothers Near Heart Failure
in Wild Game.
LA RUE KNOCKS BALL 4 MILES

In six inning game, featured by.
perspiration and errori, loose joint
ed lantern jaWed, Lean. members Of
the Bemidji Commercial travellers Or
ganization defeated the fat prune
peddlers by score of IL to 4.
From an exhibition standpoint, it
was great game. Lycan and Koors,
battery for the Fats made a great
showing, even after mile a minute
ball had wounded Koors in his po-
sition behind the bat. LaRue start
ed in to pitch but fell asleep in the
fourth inning, the Leans improving
the opportunity to hop around the
diamond like merry-go-round at 9
o'clock on Saturday night. Hotel
keeper Lycan celebrated his entrance
into the box by feeding them a goose
egg the first inning he pitched.
Friendship forbids that anything be
said about what happened in the next
inning. --
Fields and Busding acted as the
battery for the Leans and except for
the balls hit and balls not caught,
showed up well.
The longest hit was made by La
Rue. He. caught the ball square on
! the nose and it went sky rocketing
over the pine trees for distance of
miles, 16 rods and 20 feet. AS
LaRue made second safely, it at first
was suspected that the bill went far
Their, but it didn't.
| Irvine, who played left field for
the Leans made a great muff when,
! much to his surprise high one,
came his way. He stuck up his mitts
in a baby-wants-to-come attitude.
The ball bounced out of his hands
and Irvine kicked to the umpire be-
cause it hurt his thumb.

ESSENCE OF FINE BREEDING
Rude Manner Renders Its Owner
Always Liable to Affront.

In families we'll ordered there is
always one firm and sweet temper,
which controls without seeming to
dictate. The essence of all fine
breeding is in the gift of oscillation.
A man who possesses every other title
to our respect besides that of court
esq, is in danger of FORGETTING them
all. A rude manner renders it's own
er always liable to affront. He is
never without dignity who avoids
wounding the dignity of others.

CRAZE DOES AWAY WITH POSING
Berlin Smart Set Having Portraits
Sketched While in SAUNDERS.

Ire latest crazy among the Berlin

The craze was started by an Austrian

cording to current story, fell asleep
while waiting in the atelier of we'll

the countess so charming as she
slumbered that he drew her in that
