Sheriff Julius and TheO. johnson
Feature in Runaway Accident.

A runaway with enough thrills to
make it intensely interesting and
exciting was pulled of Monday after
noon between tho hours of two and
three O'Clock. Sheriff Julius and
Theo. johnson had decided upon q
fishing expedition and started out
shortly after two with q double team
hitched to = light bob and &C.
companied by driver. On the way
they picked up John Bluehm. While
gong down the Aufderheide hill, the
single-tree struck the left horse on the
legs and it bolted aud the horses
started OF On . dead run. When they
got near Adams corner they dropped
into the deep snow, the off horse
having fallen 90 that it was lying on
the left side. BY their united efforts
the fisher men managed to get things
righted, tho horses once more hitched
up and were soon on their way re.
joicing. .......
They had hardly gone block be-
fore the left horse started In to cut up
again and in . few moments the horses
we're once more exceeding the speed
limit. Three frantic men hanging to.
the lines could not stop them. After
doing some damage to the bob, tearing
the harness and getting loose, one
horse turned the corner of the road
leading to Bentzin's Mill and stopped
and the other did not even go as far
as that. Both of them seemed de-
lighted ut the discontinue of the
fishing party.
About this time the absence OF John
Bluehm was discovered. A search
revealed him buried in snow drift.
The livery man was communicated
with and told of their plight and he
went to their relief and
towed them home. Sheriff Julius has
been in enough accidents lately to
make him feel wee bit skeery and he
is seriously contemplating taking out
additional accident insurance.

College Boys Defeated.

A very interesting game Of basket
ball vas played at Turner Hall last
Friday evening. The victors were the
glsdiators Of the Manksto Com
mercial College. It being the first
game of the season for. the D. M. L.
G. boys, the opponents came here in
hopes of securing On easy victory and
were therefore very much taken aback
1t the playing Of the College boys Is IL
was q very evenly matched game, the
D. M. L. c. boys being dangerously
close at all times and holly contesting
every point.
The game opened with some brilliant
teamwork by the Commercial team
which quickly netted them four
baskets. Our College boys, however,
quickly recovered from this first
shock and began to score few points
for themselves. The whole playing
was really concentrated at center
where both Ross of Mankato and
Meyer, his opponent, were playing q
remarkable game. At the end of the
first half the score was II to ID in
favor of D. M. L. c.
During the last half the Mankato
team slowly forged to the front. This
was largely due to the fact that Meyer
was playing with . sprained ankle
which gave Mankato slight
advantage, and this advantage was
just enough to enable them to win.
The final score was 81 to q in favor
of Mankato Commercial College.
Referee Turner gave excellent salts
faction and deserves much praise for
his fair and clean decisions. Umpire
Amann's work was very commendable. |
The game was much enliveped by
the roofing section of D. M. L. c.,
which repeatedly inspired it's favorites
through songs and yells.
The lineup was % follows:

A leoand Of Aoincourt

For many centuries we English have
plumed ourselves upon the victory Of
Agincourt. Indeed it is from King
Henry VS. address to his soldiers on
that occasion. as given by Shake.
speare. that the motto Of this journal
is taken. Familiar in their mouths as
household words But the French
have an account Of the affair not so
much to our credit 1t was arranged,
according to this fable. by the two
leaders that only the mobiles on each
side were to fight King Henry V.
then artfully ennobled his whole army
and hence got the best Of the enemy.
Shakespeare unwittingly gives little
countenance to the legend when he
makes the king declare in the above
mentioned address. BE ye ne'er so
vile, this day shall gentle your condi-
tion."-London Standa ID.

QUEEN VENUS.
Orbit, Mass and Gravity Of the Planet
Twin Of Our World.

Orbit, Mass and Gravity Of the Planet
Twin Of Our World.
Mercury is the nearest of known
planets to King Sol. but Venus comes
next. and in eccentricity Of solar orbit
an eccentricity having an average Of
about 67.20OOOO miles-is the least IT.
regular Of the planets. The distance
Of Venus from our earth also varies.
with an average or mean of about 25,-
100000 miles at her nearest. the aver
age distance Of Venus from our earth
being approximately 16O.OOO!OOO miles
at her farthest.
Queen Venus may be called the plan
ct twin of our world. since her mean
diameter and that of our earth are
nearly equal. Nevertheless the differ
ence of some 200 miles in their diam
eters leaves Venus with about 92-1OQ
of the terrestrial volume. Venus mass
or weight approximates S2-1OO of
that of our planet, and. dividing 80
100 by 92-1O0. we get 5000. which is
Venus density compared with the den
sity of our earth. Venus gravity ap-
proximates S2-1OO that Of our planet.
or. in other words. a terrestrial body
weighing 100 pounds would weigh only
eighty-two pounds upon the surface Of
Venus.
Queen Venus exhibits phases like our
moon. but possesses no moon herself.
She presents a bright and thickly
clouded appearance and has an atmos-
phere which is estimated to be from
one and one-half to two times as dense
as our own. This beautiful planet was
seen. Of course. by mankind in pre-.
historic ages. but the earliest known
record respecting her was in CSC B. c..

PLAN An EXHIBIT
FOR BETTER HOMES
Interesting Display to Be
Shown at the Pythian
Temple, Soon.

With the assurance that the under.
taking will be supported by the cit.
izens. members of the County Bones
tic Science association at their annual
meeting announced that the proposed
education exhibition for Richmond is
certain to be held In the Pythian
Temple, either one or two days, the
middle OF next month.
The chief business of the meeting
was outlining the plans to follow in
arranging for the exhibition. Accord.
ing to the decision of the associat ion,
the most conspicuous feature OF the
educational show will be competi
tive display of foods. for which pre-
miums will be offered. Negotiations
are In progress for securing demon
stration OF art suitable for the home,
and a display of many electrical and
other mechanical devices. Local
schools will be called on to demon
strate some Of the practical work be-
ing done by them, and, in general,
the exhibition will include a complete
outline OF methods for securing heal
thy and economic living conditions
IT is epected that the local show will
have much effect on awakening the
public to the need for more systemat-
&c work in the home.
With the funds received from the
exhibition, the association proposes to
institute a public rest and tea room
for women in the business district.
Heads OF the project claim that there
IL great need for such rest room
here, as women at present have no
place of this sort in the entire city.
and II should prove quite a conven-
fence for people coming to Richmond
from the country.

A BIC ENROLMENT
FOR NIGHT SCHOOL
Fifty Attend Opening Ses-
sion, Thirty Being in
the Auto Class.

Successful meetings of three classes
marked the opening of the new public
night school set in operation last ev-
ening at the high school An enroll
ment of nearly fifty pupils of all ages
was secured.
Lee Dykeman. Of the Wayne Works.
opened his course in the study of max
ing and managing an automobile, with
lecture on the general theory of
automobile action. He outlined the
manner Of utilizing power from steam
gas. or even electric engine, and also
spoke of the efficiency of various fuels
Over thirty students were present at
this class.
Other classes started last evening
with good sized registration, were me-
chanical drawing, under George Nc
Clellan and l.. A. Bronson, and COM
mercial work, including bookkeeping
and typewriting, conducted by T. r.
Holman. The commencement of other
classes has been postponed until next
week
In age the scholars varied from IL to
60, quite a few being past the half cen
fury mark. Several women are among
the number, but so far they do not
seem enthusiastic over the cooking
sewing and physical training courses
provided exclusively for them.
Superintendent T. A. Mott today as
serted that he believed the opening
of the new institution last night to be
quite as good as could be expected. He
claims that it will be a matter of only
year or so before the night school
tiOnal features.
