SIMPLY DO THEIR DUTY Position of the Common Council in Variety Thea- ter Misunderstood. WILL TAKE NO ACTION WHAT- EVER AT PRESENT. Liquor License Granted Last ~Evening to L. Burke & Co. At a regular meeting of the vil- lage council last evening a liquor license bond of L. Burke & Co. was approved. The'position of the council in regard to the Variety Theatre matter has been quite generally misunderstood. The council has no authority whatever to take any steps concerning a Variety Theatre until the one in oper- ation. It is generally understood that L. Burke & Co., who have been granted a license to sell liquors in the old theatre build- ing will open a Variety Theatre, but until such time as they do the matter is not one in which the council can take an action. If Mr. Burke and colleagues run a sa oon that is a disorderly place and a menace to the public peace, the enuncil will not be slow in re- voking his license. Mr. Burie, however, until he so misconducts himself, has as much rightas any other person to sell liquor in Be- midji under the provisions of the law. A committee representing the mass meeting held at the Baptist church Sunday afternoon was present at the council meeting last evening and presented their objections to the openiug of a Variety Theatre in the city. The committee consisted of Messrs. Porter Nye and J. A. McConkey. Both gentlemen addressed the council. Mr. McConkey declared that he was opposed to such an institution as iv was usually car- ried on. Mr. Nye called atten- tion to the lawlessness bred by the variety which formerly ran in Bemidji. Both gentlemen were temperate but decisive in their remarks. There being nothing for the council to act upon in the matter except to approve or reject Mr. Burk’s bond, the bond was unan- imously approved. TOO LATE TO CLASSIFY.

WATCH This Space For TOMORROW Prinecess Grocery Co THEY AGREE | Business Men And Representa- tive of Road Finally Make Terms. Since yesterday afternoon at two o’clock there have been fre: quent meetings of the Business Men’s Club to confer with Hon. A. Uecland, rcpresentating Red Lake, Minnesota & Manitoba railway company concerning the extension of the road to this city. 1t is the company’s desire 1o se- cure some guarantee, of legal ef- fect, that Bemidji will furnish the right away for the road as it has agreed to do. The exact terms of this agreement have been difficult to agree upon, but it was finally decided at noon to- day that the individual liability of those who signed the agree- ment should be limited to $500 each. With this understanding the agreement. was signed by all those present at the noon meet- ing and a committee of business men have circulated the agree- ment through the city this after- noon and it has been liberally signed. Mr. Ueland does not agree that the officials of the road will ac- cept the agreement, but it is believed that they will and that work on the construction of the road will be begun within a few weeks. SHOT HIM DEAD Bartender at Beltrami Shoots A Customer Through The Abdomen. The second murder to occur in Polk county within a week took place late yesterday afternoon when John Moe, a bartender at the little town of Beltrami, a few miles south of Crookston on the Great Northern, shot Nels Or- vick through the abdomen, the man dying in 15 minutes. Orvick it seems had been drink ing with some other fellows and claimed that £d. Hamery, of the town of Liberty had robbed him of $2.50. The bartender, John Moe, who runs the bowling alley in Crooks- ton, and was tending bar tem- porarily, took Hamery’s part as the latter had just entered the saloon. Orvick seized a chair and attacked the two when Moe pulled the revolver and shot him through the abdomen. Moe who did the shooting has always been a peaceably disposed young fellow, bearing a very good reputation. His home isin La- Crosse, Wis, BOOMING Everything Looking Good in Twin Cities Says W. L. Brooks. W. L. Brooks, cashier of the Lumbermen’s Bank, who re- turned from a visit to the Twin Cities Sunday, informs the Pio- neer that things are looking well from a business standpcintin Minneapolis and St. Paul. In Minneapolis particularly there is the greatest activity. Mr. Brooks interviewed a number of bankers and in every instance they report that deposits are larger now than for some time. The retailers of the Twin Cities are doing quite the business that they were a year ago. There is a great amount of building under way, and it is evident that as soon as election is over, business in all lines will show renewed ac- tivity. For flour, feed or hay call up A. M. Pierce.

A republican rally will be held at the opera house this evening and the meeting will be address- ed by Dar Reese formerly clerk of the supreme court and one of the best speakers in the state. When seen at the Markham hotel this morning Mr. Reese was resting in his room having spoken steadily since September 15. His voice is in good condi- tion, however, and an entertain ing and vigorous address may be looked for. Mr. Reese has worked in the southern part of the state and declares that Dunn will sweep that part of the state. Mr. Dunn himself has met with en- thusiastic welcome wherever he has gone in southern Minnesota. ‘With the north end of the state Mr. Reese is not so familiar but present indications show at least a majority of 2,500 for Dunn. Mr. Recsa goes directly from here to St. Paul, where both he and Mr. Dunn will speak tomor- row night. NOT THE MAN Guillmette Claims That Mongeon is Not The Name of Murdered Man at Mentor. Sheriff Sullivan of Crookston will not leave for Woomsocket to bring Guillmette back till the re- quisition papers asking for his return have been signed by Gov- ernor Van Sant and returned. A dispatch from Woomsocket savs that Guillmette still persists that he is innocent and claims that Mongeon was an assumed name of the victim of the murder at Mentor last week. Guillmette also claims that an American fold him that Mon- geon’s real name was Filiatreault and that he was a jail breaker wanted at St. Vincent DePaul, Canada. There was such a man who broke jail and who was being searched for by the Canadian authorities. RED HOT Political Rally At Blackduck Last Night Largely Attended. Quite a number of local poli- ticians went to Blackduck last night to attend the republican rally there. A goodly propor- tion of the candidates were there also to improve the occasion in vote getting. Dar Reese spoke on state issues and was fre- quently applauded. His address is a clear ard convincing exposi- tion of the_-valuable work done for the state by R, C. Dunn and the meeting undoubtedly made votes for the republican ticket at Blackduck. Although the evening was an unfavorable one the at- tendance was large. Republican rally at the opera house tonight. = b3 ) r Gen W it and see the finest line of W W uine i Hand Painted r» China M.

QHICAGO, Cause of Lockjaw. Lockjaw, or tetanus, is caused by a bacillus or germ which ex- ists plentifully in street dirt. It is inactive so long as exposed to the air, but when carried beneath the skin, as in the wounds cansed by percussion caps or by rusty nails, and when the air is ex- cluded the germ is roused to ac- tivity and produces the most vir- ulent poison known. These germs may be destroyed and all danger of lockjaw avoided by ap- plying Chamberlain’s Pain Balm freely as soon as the injury is received.
