The movement started by the members of the Whist club for 'ss men of the getting the busi city together in some sort of an organization which shall perform the functions of a commercial club has thus far met with marked success. There cannot be two opinions as to the neces- sity of such an organization and everyone interested in the wel- fare of Bemidji will earnestly wish the new movement success. The plan thus far shaped is to haye the Whist club turn overits lease of the club rooms and its club furnishings to the new Busi- ness Men’s club and to main- tain the club practically as before exceph that the business feature of the club be made its dis- tinguishing characteristic, the social features being wt.,Lmu.l as at present. Such a club can be made a power in the upbuilding of the town. Moreover it has those elements which will malke it per- manent and banding together of its business men in an organzation which shall be in shape for active work all the time. The Business Men’s club Bemidji se cess. Bemidji needs a s certain of suc The measure of 1fs success depends upon the vigor and vim with which every man interested puts his shoulder to the wheel. Tar Crookston Journal still pursues Bemidji with its slander- ous e prints gruesome accounts of this city’s wickednes: What the Journal hopes to gain by circulat- ing such gratituous falschoods is not clear; it is those who know no way to build themselves up but by The first report published by the Journal of Be midji’s badness was absolutely falge in every line and letter. The account traveled from one newspaper to another-and is still journeying. tongue and stently apparently of tearing others down, Possibly it has done the Journal some good, though we doubt it; it has certainly done Bemidji harm. There is some- thing radically wrong with newspaper which stoops to such meannes: a Tug Collins column conducted by Ralph Wheelock in the Minne- apolis Tribune declares that “re- ports from Stearns, Beltrami, Cass and Wadena counties indi- cated that the lines had been closely drawn in these localities,”’ and that Judge Collins won a dis tinet victory in each of these counties, The Pioneer is unable ‘o speak as to the other counties named, but certainly no lines whatever, either loosely, were drawn county in the recent vention. The names of Dunn and Collins wete scarcely mentioned by the delegates and there was absolutely no contest upon the — governership or upon any other proposition whatever, closely or in Beltrami county con- of |, RO T O OO O O PBITSINORTH § EFRONM | COUNTRY 4 A&&M,&AA;&A&J Crookston harbors Hearst club. a The play is the thing at North- ome, and home talent does it well.

The season’s fall has been a heavy one and it is practically all on hard yet in the woods. J. M. Richards: Last night’s fall of snow will materially set us back in shipping lumber. A fall like that of last night invariably malkes trouble for the railroads. J. W. Speelman: Buena Vista is booming right along. The country about us is being grad- ually settled up by people who are there to stay. Come up and see us, F. N.

Spooner of Bemidji, who is presiding at the term of court now in session, took a hand as interpreter Monday afternoon and was successful in his efforts. A German, who could not talk English, was on the stand and L although an interpreter was em- ployed there was trouble-in get- ting the wituness to understand the questions. Judge Spooner stood it for a short time and then too< the witne; propounding the question to him in German in a manner that he what was wanted. It was some- what of a surprise to the attor- neys who were not aware that the judge was versed in that language. This is not Judge Spooner’s first visit to Little Falls, as he appeared here as at- torney in a case fifteen years ago when court was held in the old court house.

Thos. McGuain Accused of Horse Stealing Makes Peculiar Plea. HESTOLE A RIDE BUT DIDN'T STEAL HORSE. Case of A.F. Warner vs. J.J. Jinkinson Occupies the Atten- tion of District Court. Thos. McGuain, under indict- ment for horse stealing was be- fore Judge McClenahan last night to enter his plea and made a peculiar pleading. When asked whether he was guilty or not cuilty he stated to the court that|: he was guilty of stealing a ride but that he had not stolen the horse. McGuain isa cripple and was arrested for stealing a horse near Wilton last fall which he drove to this cityand put up at Bagley’s livery barn. He acts very strangely and by many is believed to be slightly demented. He has been before the court twice to plead and each time he has given the same a Judge McClenahan has his under advisement. The jury in the case of Hercu- les Burke vs. I. X. Dufour re- turned a verdict for the plaintiff in the sum of $75. The action grew out of a dispute over wages. The case of A.F. Warner vs. J.J. Jinkinson came on for trial last night. Warner was a sub- contractor for Jinkinson on the county ditch which the latter is excavating, and the conditions of the contract between the two is in dispute. The case will re- quire all of today in trial and is hard fought on both sides. County Attorney Loud is appear- ing for the plaintiff, and Bailey & Me¢Donald for the defendant. Better Condition. Northome Record: There are still a number of papers that are taking the Crookston Journals’ word for it that our neighboring city of Bemidji is 'still. “wide open.” We believe that the Journal did Bemidji rank in- justice in publishihg such an article, for *to _one who has visited Bemidji since the reform wave struck, the better condi- tions are easily noticivle.
