ABOUT THE STATE^air Amusement
News ot Especial interest to        Features Good
MinneSOta ReaderS. The Morrison county fair will
have an unusually good line of
amusement features this year,
the Corey carnival having been
engaged for tlie week besides
the usual number of free attractions given before the grandstand.
The carnival will have at least
six shows when it arrives here,
besides many concessions and
has lately been completely reorganized. A list of the carnival
attractions cannot be obtained
yet, but Secretary Bergheim
expects to get particulars soon.
Because of the recent reorganization all the shows have not
yet been engaged by the carnival company.
The principal feature of the
free amusements at the fair will
be the Little Falls band of 20
pieces, which will furnish music
during the entire fair. The
Little Falls band is second to
none of the similar organizations
of its size in the state and the
fair management is fortunate in
having so good a band at its
disposal.
Other free attractions are the
two Fostellians, Roman ring
gymnasts, who perform some
wonderful feats before the grandstand; Singer's dogs, said to be
one of the best trained dog shows
in the business, and Holman
Brothers, comedy acrobats and
vaudeville performers. All or
these acts come highly recommended from a booking company
of good standing, from which
the Morrison county fair and
many other Minnesota fairs get
their attractions.
If friends of Governor Winfield
Scott Hammond have started a movement to place him in the vice presidential chair at the next election
they have not taken the recipient of
the anticipated honor into their confidence, according to the governor.
"I am inclined to think," he said,
"that if I file for office it will be for
re-election as governor. As a matter
of fact, I haven't given much thought
to the election."
That those outside of Minnesota recognize Governor Hammond as fit timber for the vice presidency or United
States senator is evident from editorial
comment which has reached the capi-
tol.
The suggestion that he would be a
worthy T^B^ing mate to President
Wilson waf made at a dinner in the
chamber of commerce at Portland,
Ore., in honor of Governor Hammond
recently.
A trade magazine called the Portland Confidential Banker paid the following tribute to Minnesota and to
Governor Hammond:
"Minnesota is to be congratulated
most heartily on having such a mag-
. nificent chief executive, a man not
only big enough to be head of a great
state, but to preside over the affairs
of a nation."
S. D. Works, insurance commissioner, has been interested in boosting
his chief. Mr. Works has sent a copy
of the above article to the country
newspapers as a "feeler."
Joseph Voelker of
Lastrup Attachted
By Vicious Bull
Jos. Voelker, living on the old
John Schommer place in Lastrup had a very narrow escape
from serious injury, and, possibly from death, one day last
week. His two year old bull attachted him. While being fed
and watered from a pail, the
bull suddenly became vicious
and attached his owner. The
infuriated bull after downing
his victim began to put on the
finishing touches with hoof and
head. Luckily the dog near by
detracted the animal from his
deadly work by biting him in the
heels, which gave Mr. Voelker
time to make good his escape.
PRIEST HELD TO GRAND JURY
Assailant of Bishop Heffron Appears
in   Court.
Father L. M. Lesches, who shot
and twice wounded Bishop Patrick R.
Heffron at Winona, was tali en before
Judge S. T. Somsen in municipal
court at that place for tre second
time for a preliminary hearing. He
was represented by counsel, Attorney
J. J. Fitzgerald, who asked that examination be waived. This action
was taken by the court and Father
Lesches was held to the grand jury,
which will sit Sept. 20 next.
Father Lesches in court was calm
and composed, but said  nothing.
Bishop Heffron has so far recovered from his Injuries that he has been
taken to St. Mary's hospital at
Rochester to finish his recuperation.
While there an X-ray picture to locate the bullet which penetrated the
prelate's lung will be taken.

DOUBLE  DREAM   LEADS  TO
RECOVERY  OF $900.
Minneapolis, Sept. 12.—When
Mike Meleski reported to the
police that his home had been
robbed of $900 he said he
wished he had kept his savings in a burglar-proof safe
instead of in a moss bound
trunk.
I^ater Mr. Meleski dreamed
that he dug in his garden with
a common spade and unearthed a pot of gold. He awoke
his wife and learned that she
had been visited by the same,
dream. Immediately he procured a spade and repaired to
the garden, where after brief
labor he  dug up  the missing

Deer Hold Up Automobile,
Deer blockading the roads and
public highways is the latest
inuisance in the vicinity of Bemidji and the pesky things came
right up to the gates of the cit}'.
Wednesday morning, while making a trip from Hines to Bemidji
in his automobile with his wife,
her mother and sister, Miss A-
della Bradley, Charles Carter,
the Hines land man was forced
to stop his car to save the life
of a beautiful doe and two fawns
who were standing in the center
of the new state road, near the
head of Lake Bemidji, not far
from Birchmont Beach summer
hotel. The animals watched the
car approaching and not until
Mr. Carter stopped the car did
they walk leisurely from the
road. Tlie deer are unusually
plentiful in this vicinity this
year, and it is believed by hunters and game wardens that the
open season in Canada last winter drove them down from tlie
north.—Bemidji Sentinel.

DIES TO SAVE HER  BABIES
Mother Pushes Children to Safety,
but   Is   Hit   by   Train.
Mrs. George Jackubiec of Minneapolis gave her life to save the lives
of her two babies, aged three and
four years, when the children stepped
in front of a moving Soo train at a
street crossing.
The mother was returning from her
little garden, a few blocks from her
home, carrying a basket of vegetables.
When the children stepped upon
the track in front of a rapidly moving
train Mrs. Jackubiec dropped her
basket and sprang after them. She
carried one to safety and returned
for the other.
She had just time to push it clear
of the wheels when she was crushed
beneath the  engine herself.

"It is best to seed the grass
