‘ PRESENT COUNGIL NAMED Present Administration Nom- inated for Re-Elec- tion to a Man. A TICKET PLEDGED TO PRI- VATE INTERESTS FAILS. Caucus One of the Largest Ever Held in the Village 10f Be midji. When the village caucus was " called to order by MayorLuding- ton last night eyery seat in the cours room at the court house was taken and theisles were crowded and the corridors thronged with citizens. As rumored and reported in last evening’s Pioneer, it was generally understood that the opposition to M. D. Stoner had abandoned all attempt to place in the field a ticket pledged to their interests and had resolved to stand for the nominaticn of the present council without ex- caption. This fact insured their nomination and robbed the cau- cus of any element of contest. The friends of M. D. Stoner were - present irv-lwrge mambers, made no attempt to secure his nomination and it is understood that Mr. Stoner will run on an independent ticket. P. J. .Russell was named for chairman and was elected by a practically unanimousvote. Jay L. Reynolds was made secret: Mr. Russell then took the floor and a brief eulogy of Mayor Lud- ington and the present adminis- tration placed Mr. Ludington in nomination for wayor. There being no opposition manifested Mr. Ludington was declared the unanimous choice of the caucus for mayor. In the same way Councilmen Graham, Bowser and Hazen and Recorder Bailey were chosen. Constable J. P. Hen- nessy was nominated by acclima- tion. For Justice of the peace L., G. Pendergast received 106, A. Gilmore 62, and D. H. Fisk 40. A fight developed alsoon assessor “but J, E. Cahill won handily on the first ballot. After the nominations were complete and people began to leave the hall L. H. Bailey made a speech, devoted principally to defending himself on charge of having approached various per- sons and demanded from them pledges. Mr, Bailey made much of the fact he was charged in last eveningsPioneer with having solicited a pledge from Mr. Bow- ser. This was purely an error which orginated from informa- tion given the Pioneer by a friend of Mr. Bowser’s. The statement was made in both the heading and the body of the arcicle, Before puablication how- ever Ml’. Bowser was seen and he emphatically denied that he had been approached by Mr, Bailey or anyoneelse. The body of the article was then corrected to agree with Mr. Bowser’s denial but the fact thatthe charge was contained in the heading was over looked. Tt does Mr. Bailey an injustice and the Pioneer is glad to state the true facts in the 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 saloon men and livery men of Blackduck are out as a result of a smooth game worked by a number of local characters of vhat -eity: - Horses’ bits- were secured from the livery stables and the men went around to the saloons with a large “can” and called for “two-bits” worth of beer. Thebarkeeper of nearly every place in the city dished up the beyerage,and the men walked out after leaving two of the horses’ bits which they had secured from the livery stables. The affair has so far been treated as a joke, and noattempt to arrest the perp trators has been made SERIOUSLY ILL Editor C. R. Martin Suffers From Bad Attack of Ery- sipelas. Editor C. R. Martin is very seriously ill. His condition last night was such that some alarm was occasioned to his friends, but he was resting easier this morn- ing.

Thereis no more genial personality in the city than Mr. Martin and his hosts of friends will hope for his -entire and ‘|speedy recovery. Dr. Morrison is attending him, WILL HE RESIGN? Register of U. S. Land Office at Cass Lake May Resign. Washington, March 2.—It is reported here that J, D. Jones, register of the United States land office at Cass Laice, will soon resign. Mr. Jones has been failing health for several moaths, and recently secured a leave of absence. — Congressman Buck- man will doubtless have the naming of his successor, and is now in Minnesota consulting his friends about the matter. While in Minnesota he will also confer with the lumbermen on the Mississippi who have been opposing his bill to authorize a dam across the river in Wright county: Compliment for Pioneer. Crookston Times: The Be- midji Pioneer which next to the Crookston Times, is the newsiest, most carefully edived and best patronized daily in northern Minnesota, has enlarged to seven folio. This was necessitated by its rapidly increasing patronage. 1tis evident the business men of Bemidji apprecidate the Pioneer, and well they may. It is the best advertisement of a progres- sive city that money can buy. The Conductor. Conductor Warren of the C. & N. W. R.

VAnd in the end 1t don’t cost as much to have your work done at the Reed Studio A PLANNED Unusual Activity During the Coming Season. SEVERAL BUSINESS™ BLOCKS WILL BE BUILT. Many Residences Planned In Various Parts of The City. The contractors of Bemidji are planning on a very busy season. The present outlook is very fav. orable for great activity in building circles. The property owners in every part of the city are figuring on erecting resi- dences, from small cottages to substantial dwellings which will provide for the needs of large families. For the past few years it has been more or less of a diffi- cult matter to rent a house in this city, as the increase in the transient population has more than kept pace with the building. Building operations will not be confinad to the residence portion of the city alone. In the busi- ness district there will also be greatactivity in thatline. Plans have already been asked for buildings to decorate many of the best business locations in the city and all portions of the city will experience substantial im- provements. Before the end of the season, Bemidji will have grown materially in this respect, and the carpenters are assured all the work they can do KEEPING CORPQES Said an up Line Tewn Keeps Dead Bodies of Paupers Until Spring For Burial. A well known gentleman who has just returned from a trip up the northline tells a very sensa- tional story to the effect that the corpses of two woodsmen who died early in the winter: at an up line town are being kept ina small shed awaiting the opening of spring, when they may be more conveniently buried than at the present time. Tt is said that owing to the depth of the frost in the ground the digging of a grave is something of a hardship, s0 the bodies are being kept un- til spring.

STONER WILL RUN Last Night’s Caucus in No Wise Affects His Candidacy For Mayor. M. D. Stoner authorizes the announcement that the result of last night’s caucus in no wise ef- fects his candidacy for mayor. He has received renew ed pledges of support from his friends and has new offers of assistance from various quarters, and he will make a vigorous campaign. While recognizing Mayor Lud- ington’s worth and stiength he entered upon the campaign in the belief, backed by Mr. Lud- ington’s repeated word that he would under no circumstances be a candidate, and he feels that it is now too late to withdraw. He will wage a vigorous cam- paign and his friends express the utmost confidence in the re- sult. Big Collection.

Several now have their homes here but as soon as this country develops and Bemidji begins to manifest itself as an important center you will see quite a little colony of drum- mers here.
