IT'S STATUS AND LAWS FIXED.

Nearly everybody likes the game from
the first. and nearly everybody is at
tempting 10 play royal auction. The
game has now been played long enough
SO that the rules, ethics and theories have
become fairy wen determined ana fixed.
The unfortunate feature Of the game
seems TO be that 1t may cultivate more 81
the gaming instinct than either OF It's
prosecutors. However, one should differ

entiate and not allow a stake 20 become
paramount but make the stake such an
amount that IL shall only be penalty or
prize for bad or good play. Experience
in playing the game demonstrated that II
is necessary 90 make some penalty. other
wise the game dcgenerates into humble
puppy of Overlooking and Lad play.
Personality enters much more into royal
auction than whist or bridge. and a good
reader of human nature, other skill being
equal develops the top notch royal auc-
ton player. The psychology Of the bid
ding gives an added interest to the game,
and the good auction player sometimes
plays his man as well as his cards. But
this practice must be exercised with great
discretion, otherwise one may be severely
penalized Even blind pig sometimes
finds an acorn"
The rules and ethics OF the game
should be thoroughly mastered II one de-
sires 20 play IT well. No game can be OF
much interest or pleasure to the player
whether It be football. baseball, whist or
royal auction, unless the player IS a good
enough sport to live up TO the technical
ties OF the game and exact and allow all
penalties with equal grace. In other
words, play the game" and II you are
at fault recognize the fact at once and
never whine.

SURGEONS GATHERED IN COX.


Several persons who represented them
selves to be surgeons were allowed to
enter. Deponent saw there Colonel Craw-
ford and requested him to prevent other
persons from entering the box. Deponent
then returned to the box and found the
surgeons examining the Presidents per-
son. They had not yet found the wound
AS soon as II was discovered it was de-
termined TO remove him from the theatre
He was carried out, and this deponent
then proceeded to assist Mrs Lincoln,
who was intensely excited, 10 leave the
theatre. On reaching the head Of the
stairs deponent requested Major Potter
to aid him In assisting Mrs Lincoln
across the street to the house TO which
the President was being conveyed.
THE wound which the deponent had re-
ceived had been bleeding very profusely,
and, on reaching the house, feeling very
faint from the loss of blood. he seated
himself in the hall. and soon after faint
ed away and was laid on the floor Upon
the return of consciousness deponent was
, taken in carriage to his residence.
In the review of the transaction it is
the time which elapsed between the dis
charge OF the pistol and the time when
the assassin leaped from the box did not
exceed thirty seconds. Neither Mrs Lin
coin nor Miss Harris had left their seats.
The story of how Booth leaped from the
box to the stage. a distance of twelve
feet. and broke one of the small bones o.,
his leg as a result of spur on one OF
his boots catching on the flag used in
drapIng the front of the box, and his
shouting ''Sic semper tyrannis." and escsp-

him in the alley near the stage door.

MINGLED PLEASURE AND PROFIT

In our college days we were told that
the dead languages and the higher
branches Of mathematics might not be Of
practical advantage TO us In after life,
but that they trained the mind and Gull
tivated the memory. Royal auction. with
its combinations, permutations, theory OF
chances psychology, and even its plain,
everyday addition and subtraction. to-
gether with its ethics in politeness end
self-restraint, may not only be a source
OF pleasure for the mind weary with cares
of business and professional life, but also
will cultivate the memory, the habit OF
ouick thinking the use OF good judgment
and the process OF right reasoning and
deduction.
The ethics OF the game are very inn
portant II one desires to be recognized as
a desirable and agreeable partner. play
er should not give any indication by word
or gesture as to the nature OF his hand
or as to his pleasure or displeasure at
bid, double or play
This is the rule of etiquette that is most
fagrantly violated, and the player who sits
up and smirks and smiles when the bidding
or play pieases him, or scowls, glares or
Wriggles around when the bidding or play
displeases him, should be severely repri-
manded, and If continued, should be
barred from play, as is done in all reputa-
BILE clubs.
The,count or value OF the suits at roy
al auction is, of course: Spades, 2; clubs
6; diamonds, 4 hearts, 3; royal spades
Tor royals, 9. and no trump, 10. The rea-
son for the new value of the suits over
the old value at bridge becomes apparent
when one analyses the equalizing oppor-
tunities of play. Except in spades, which
is only used in the bidding as defen-
sive opening or pass, one is able to go
game in any suit. Every hand must be
played out, and IT therefore makes a
much more equal and skuful game

DETAILS OF THE DISASTER.

TWENTY-FIVE government clerks lost their

DEPTHS of despair; women calling ior
their husbands, children calling Tor theH
fathers. mothers calling for their sons
with not an answer 10 their cry.
This is but a shadow of the awful
calamity that befell this city this morn

of the accident; the imagination stands
back and fails to give any ldea Oh tile

MErAMoRPHosED INTO THEATRE

David W. Heath bought the church edi-
fee on December 10, 1861, and shortly
afterward sold it to John T. Ford, the the
atrical manager. The Carlotte Patti Con-
cert Troupe gave the first performance IN
the improvised theatre on November 10
1851 The church-theatre was destroyed
by fire December 80, 1862, and the present
structure, the one in which President Lin
coin was shot, was built on the same site
within a year. The first performance in
the new theatre, which was opened IN
August, 1863, was "The Naiad Queen.
Then followed Maggie Mitchell and other

ON
RABIES GIVES
PRECAUTIONS

Hydrophobia or rabies is a dreaded
disease. Press Bulletin No. SIS from
the North Dakota experiment station
BY DR.. L. VanEs is on rabies. 1t tells
now the different domestic animals act
when affected. 1t gives methods Of
procedure in case Of being bitten by
a mad dog or suspected mad dog or
animal. It gives the following rules
for preventing rabies:
!. Keep the canine population
down to a minimum by a rigidly en-
forced dog law. destroying ali dogs on
which no tax is paid.
9. Do not depend too much on
compulsory muzzling. as this Is usual
~ done in such a perfunctory manner
as to constitute no protection at all.
while when done in an adequate man
ner. h muzzling frequently amounts
to cruelty.
3. When rabies exists in a COM
munity, compel all owners Of dogs to
chain their animals and have all dogs
running loose destroyed. whether sus-
pected or not.
BY no means all animals bitten by
a rabid dog take the disease. 1t Is.
however. a wise plan to assume that
they will and to confine the animals
in turn will not transmit the disease
to others.
In the Ease Of animals We have no
means available to prevent infection
after a rabid bite has been received.
In man. however. the Pasteur treat
ment. consisting of a preventive in
oculation is a rather certain means Of
preventing the disease. When a per-
son is bitten by n rabid dog. 1t is adj
visable for him to submit to the treat
ment Of the nearest Pasteur institute.
In North Dakota such treatment may
be secured at the public health labora-
tory at Grand Forks.

STILL FIGHT
CAR SHORTAGE
Operating Departments of
Railroads consider Meas
ures to Supply Service.

According to statements of railroad
officials. shortages of freight. fiat and
refrigerator cars. hampering the
movement Of crops from the west and
from this section. coal from the head
OF the lakes. timber from northern
Wisconsin and Minnesota and potatoes
from northwestern districts present
m of the most battling problems be-
fore the operating departments of
northwest railroads in recent years.
Fol the first time since the first in
tinlation of the famine in rolling stock
the situation is admitted to be serious
in the general offices OF northwest
roads. According to the analysis of
present conditions reported from the
offices of the general manager Of the
Northern Pacific and the Great Nor
thern. the shortage reflects not SO
much a lack of equipment on north
west systems as a failure to supply
cars on the part of connecting lines.
Appeal for Refrigerator Cars.
The shortage Of refrigerator cars,
which has oc%casioned the protest from
Minnesota farmers and has been re-
ferred to the railway and warehouse
commission Of that state. has been
made h basis of an appeal from the
interstate commerce commission to h
common carriers supplying h affect
ed districts. In answer to the appeal.
more cars have been placed in service
in the local districts. even at the cost
of an increased shortage of stock for
the transportation Of grain.
According to reports from the office
Of Vice President Gruber of the Great
Northern. in charge Of operation, the
sole remedy lies in an increased sup
ply of cars at transfer points.
The relief must come from those
lines handling the long haul' to the
consuming districts of the south and
No serious results Of the car famine
have been experienced in western

TO DIVERT FINES
FROM COUNTY FUND
Council Objects to Petty Of
fences Going into the
Justice Court.

A nettort ves made by the city
council last night to adjust matters
50 that petty offenders against both
state laws and city ordinances should
be a~rraigned before the police mag
istrate instead Of county justices Of
the peace. and that the accruing fines
might 60. into the city Golfers instead
Of to the county. It was decided to
have tho police committee investi-
gate. with the end In view Of making
It compulsory for police oficers to
bring. such offenders before the police
magistrate.
It was stated that in cases police.
men have arrested offenders under
the state law and brought them be.
fore q Justice OF the peace.
Means Foe to Ohicer.
One Of the aldermen brought up the
question sauarely. He wanted infor.
nation az to whether or not It was
legitimate for a police oficer to serve
as a constable. BY such methods the
officer obtains the constable's fees. IT
he makes an arrest under a city ordi-
nance ana brings the prisoner before
Of his regular duty. he receives no
compensation. On the other hand II
the arrest Is made for breaking a
state law and the prisoner is hauled
before a justice Of the peace, the ar
resting oficer receives the constAblc's
fee. incidentally the city loses the
fine, which goes into the county fund.
It was suggested that policemen be
required to turn over to the city all
fees collected by them through the
justice courts.
