ON THE RUN Stoner’s Strength Compels Them to Drop P. J. Rus- sell for Mayor. W. N. Bowser, Much Urged By Various Parties, Will Run if Nominated. TheBaileys Approach Bowser But He Refuses to Pledge Himself. They Now Claim They Will Secure Mayor Ludington’s Consent to Run. Every Indication of Stoner’s Nomination at Caucus Tonight. Early this morning the Bailey faction, which has worlked des- perately to secure a ticket pledged to it, gave up theat- tempt to elect the ticket which they have been supporting the - past week, realizing the impossi- bility of electing Mr. Russell against Mr. Stoner. Since the Pioneer’s public ex- posure of their attempts to pledge every candidete they have realized that they were making an uphill fight, and they have been making frantic efforts to induce Mayor Ludington and the old’ council to make the run again. During the past two days they have redoubled their efforts in this direction. - They had rep- resented to Mayor Ludington and the old council that the can- didacy of M. D, Stoner is"a slap at them and urged them to run again to secure a “vindication.” At the same time every possible argument was brough,t directly and indirectly, to induce W. N, Bowser to make the run for mayor. Mr. Bowser has steadily re- fused his consent until this morn- ing when it was announced that he would be a candidate. To the Pioneer, however, Mr. Bowser stated that he was not a candi- date, but that if not nominated at the caucus he would not refuse to run. Mr. Bowser conseated to allow the use of his name only at the repeated and earnest solicitations of his friends. When it was understood that he would run, it was also understood that he would not pledge himself to the Baileys. There upon they renewed their attemps to persuade Lud- ington to once more become a candidate and it was given out this afternoon by the Bailey’s that Mr. Ludiugton had con- sented. Mr. Ludington himself however refuses to make any statement. Other members of the old council also refuse to announce their candidacy. Both Mayor Ludington and the members of the council realize that they will be placed in a peculiar position A GUARANTEE We charge $15 for our course in Modern Bookkeeping, and we guarantee to gradu- ate students from this course in six or eight weeks.

The old council has hosts of friends and normal circumstances would poll a big vote, but its members cannot help but feel that they would be placed in a false posi- tion should they -agree to the urgings of the Bailey’s to make the run at this late hour. The Bailey workers about town late this afternoon howeverinsist they will secure the old council un- broken. The caucus at eight o’clock at the court house this evening should draw the attendance of every citizen, The desperate at- tempts of a few individuals to secure control of the city is per- fectly plain; the people of the city have but to come out to protect themselves. Presentindications are that they will do this and that M. D. Stoner and a repre- sentative ticket of business men will be nominated, A PREMONITION James Price Hears of Father’s Serious Illness and Remembers Words of Wife. James Price this morning re- ceived a telegram announcing the serious illness of his aged father at Larue, Ohio, and it has caused him to remember a remark that his wife made just before she left for the death bed of her father a few days ago. Mus. Price’s father 1s the same age as the father of Mr. Price: Both are over seventy years of age and both were born on the same day. Last week she received a telegram stating that he was dy- ing and just before she left home she said to her husband, ‘‘some- thing seems to tell me .you are going to get a message that your father is dying, before I return.” Mr. Price thought nothing of it as he says there is no accounting for the moods of women as a rule, but this morning he was startled when he received the telegram. He expects to leave tonight for Larue. PAYING LOSSES Insurance Adjusters Here to Pay Losses of Second Street * Fire. W. H. Mackay, representing the Home Insurance compuny, is in the city today to adjust the loss on the Duncalf property re- cently destroyed by the fire on upper Second street which de- stroyed a number of frame buildings. Mr. Mackay is the first of the adjusters to ar The others are expected toright, and all have been at Brainerd for several days adjusting the losses sustained in the fire in that city the first of the week. It is ex- pected that the work will be con- cluded tomorrow night. Double Headed Passenger. No. 12, the passenger train from the east came through this afternoon shortly before 40’clock. The train was double headed out of Carman and lost time steadily. Snow was encountered in all the cuts and the two large engines were frequently taxed to their capacity to get the train through. Today’s storm is reported as be- ing much much severe west of this city than here. The engines were shrouded in snow and ice, the engine crews were wet to the skin and the day’s trip is one that they will not soon forget. No 13, the west bound train, was about forty-five minutes late. ost i Don’t C Any _Mdre .

ONE OF MOST SEVERE STORMS OF WINTER PREVALENT. Heavy Snow Fall Storm and Makes a Dis- agreeable Day. The icy hand of winter laid hold of the entire northwest shortly after midnight last night and the entire couuntry is swept by a blinding blizzard today, which is developing one of the most serious and disagreeable storms of the winter. Snow began to fall about 2:30 this morning and has continued during all of the day. The fall for two hours this forenoon was the heaviest seen in Bemidji dur- ing the winter. Driven before a bitter east wind it made a dis- agreeable storm and has had the usual effect of restraining busi- ness and interrupting traffic generally. The night trains on the Great Northern all went on time last night but today’s blizzard will cause a general suspension on all the northwestern lines of the road which it will take some time to recover from. The snow was reported as drifting badly this morning and the cuts which are well filled with snow already will be impassable tomorrow. Snow plows were run over the lines of the Great Northern this morning and the big rotaries will be sent out to clear the Dakota division as soon as the storm sub- sides. At 9:30 this morning the storm was reported so severe at Lari: more that the employes of the Great Northern depot were un- able to change shiits. The air was fllled with a blinding snow that made it impossible to dis- tinguish objects a foot distant and to ventuce out in the storm was a positive menace to life. Besides the interruption of railway traffic the telephone and telegraph companies report the usual inconveniences. The wires of tlié Western Union west of this city are down and telegraphic communications are being con- ducted with difficulty this morn- ing. The<long distance telephone connections have been bad during all the day and conversation with points at any considerable dis- tance has been almost impossible. The snow fall which attended the storm was the heaviest of the ve. | winter and if March came in like a lamb yesterday its lamb-like aspect is badly shattered today. NO DAMAGES Hennepin County District Court Decides Moore Boat Case For Defendant.

SWITCH ENGINE afte Business of Local Roads May Neccessitate a Local Engine Soon. A switch engine was sent to Bemidji from Cass Lake this morning to spot tifty cars for the Crookston Lumber Co. and do other work necessary at this point, The local swiching at Bemidji is very heavy on both the Great Northern and M. & I, and it is probable that before long an engine will be stationed here which will do the switching for both roads. The yards at both places are frequently blocked and while the millis run- ning in the summer time there is a greet deal of extra work for both roads. The local freight crews frequently work here for several hours and the work sometimes cannot be done as promptly as it should be with- out securing a special engine from Cass Lake. UP TO OFFICIALS Definite Announcement on M. & I. Extension Within Ten Days. The Pioneer has it upon good authority this afternoon that within the next ten days a defi- nite announcement regarding the proposed extension of the Minne- sota & International railway to Koochiching will be made by the officials of the road. The reports of the officials who recently went over the route are now in the offices-of the president and di- rectors and a definite announce- ment will be forthcoming very soon. What it will be is impos- sible to state but it will dispose of the matter in one way or the other for the present at least. In the event that it is decided to build the contracts will be let at once. FOURTH UNPAID One Fourth of Personal Property Taxes are Delin- quent.

Another good audience greeted the Warner Comedy Co. in its performance of “Dads and Dollars” at the City Opera house last night. The presentation of the piece was well up to the ca- pable efforts of the company and pleased the people immensely. Tonight’s bill will be ‘*‘Hazel Kirke”. The pieceis an old one but like “EastLynue’’ and many others it is never old after all, It abounds in strong situations, pleasing comedy and all that goes to make a finished and ac- ceptable production. Its pre- sentation by the Warner Comedy Co. insures a successful interpre- tation. The seat sale for the en- tire week’s engagement of the Warner Co. is open at Barker’s until 7 o’clock each evening.
