| | i CITY NEEDS FIRE ALARM Unsuvccessful Attempt to Give Alarm This Morning Causes Comment. PRESENT ARRANGEMENT MAY CAUSE BIG LOSS. Fire at Markham Hotel This Morning and Telephone Re- fused to Work. Much comment has been elicited as a result of the unsuc- cesslul attempt this morning to turn in a fire alarm for the blaze which occurred at the Markham hotel at 5:30 a. m., and which, had not the hotel been supplied with a small hose for. just such an emergency, might have been one of the most disastrous fires in the history of northern Min- nesota. The fire started in the base- ment and was caused by the furnace being too near the floor of the building. It as discov- ered in time to avoid serious loss and was checked by the use of a small hose which is kept ready at the hotel for oc ons of the sort. When the blaze was dis- covered the usual course was pursued to turn in an alarm, but some disarrangement of the transmitter at the telephone ex- change made it impossible for central to answer the call and as a result no alarm was turned in. The concensus of opinion among the property holders of the city seems to be that a more adequate and safe system for calling the aid of the fire depart- ment should be provided, as it can be readily seen that should a fire gain headway in the business section, along Third street. for instance, theloss ina case like the one above would amount to hundreds of thousand of dollars worth of property which the ex- penditure of a few thousand for an up-to-date alarm system might be the means of avoiding, One arrangewent which has been installed and used success- fully in a number of cities of the size of Bemidji is the pony Game- well system. Boxes are placed in convenient places in the differ- ent waids of the city which are connected to a central station by electric wires. The boxes are locked, but a key is attached to each box and in case of fire all that is ne 'y to turn in an alarm is to open the box and touch a button, which transmits the alarm to the ceniral station, regi~tering there the location of the tire. The system 1s said to be somewhat wmore expensive than others, but in some cases tho sufery and reliability of the nent h nd dolls properiy. aved inany worth of All members of the order of Eastern Star in Bemidji are re- quested to meet at the residence of Mrs. W.

CARSON, Mgr WORK WILL SOON START Contractors for New Railway Making Preparations to Begin Work. OFFICE ESTABLISHED HERE WHERE MEN WILL BE PAID. Catting of Right of Way Will Com- mence Next Week and Work Will Be Pushed. Halvorson & Carlson, contract- ors for the new Red Lake railway this. morning brought a large number of teams, material, ete., to the city and established an of- fice in the Bacon building on Third street which will be used as their headquarters during the building of the new railway. A. Kuudson, superintendent for the company, will be in charge of the work and is making active preparations to commence the building of the road next week. The cutting of the right of way will in all probability be begun Monday or Tuesday about seven miles north of the city and from there it will be pushed northward toconnect with the line which now terminates at Nebish. As much grading as possible will be done by the company this fall, as the contract calls for the completion of the road by July 1 of next year. The line will be about 25 miles in length. The committee in charge of securing the right of way report that they have been meeting with fair success, most of the farmers whose land will be crossed by the road being liberal in their prices for the right of way. Although no action has been taken by the city council as yet to provide funds for the payment of the right of way. it is confidently ex- pected that at the next meeting they will act on the matter. LODGED IN JAIL Fight Between Drunken Woods- men Ends With Twenty Days Sentence for Each. A brawl between two drunken woodsmen at the Great Northern saloon yesterday ended in a fight between the two men and in the melee a revolver was pulled by one and fired, the bullet, however, taking no effect. The police were attracted by the shooting and specdily arrested the combatants. They were taken to the police station and appeared before Judge Pendergast this ‘morning and were sentenced to twenty days in the county jail upon pleading guilty to the charge of drunkein and disorderly conduct. Some doubt as to the intent of the men is expressed by the of- ficers, and oune of the members of thie force said this morning that it was his opinion that the fight was part of a plan to rob the saloon. HOUSE SOLD C. E. Albrant Purchases Resi- dence of C. C. Woodward— Consideration, $4000. A deal was completed”yester- day whereby C. E. Albrant, prop- rietor of the Bemidji Steam laundry, becomes owner of the residence property of C. C. Woodward, situated between Fifth and Sixth streets on Be- midji avenue. The consideration for two lots and the house was %4000, and Mr. Albrant will take possession and remove into the the residencs about December 1. The property is one of the finest in the city for residence pur- poses and is situated upon a slight elevation ov 'rlooking Lake Bemidji. Mr. Woodward will notleave the city, but has not de- cided whether he will build an- other home or occupy one of the residences ho is now leasing to other parti Thompson Cleared. Attorney P. J. Russell, John Thompson and James Burns veturned this afternoon rom Fergus Falls, where Mr. Thomp- son was arraigned before the United States circuit court on a charge of selling liquor to the Indians illegally. Mr. Russell appeared for the defendant in the case and his client was en- tirely exonerated from the charge.

WILL HUNT IN WOODS Party of Eminent Gentlemen _ From Minneapolis Pass Through the City. WILL SPEND HUNTING SEASON NEAR BLACKDUCK. Swan J. Turnblad, A. H. Opsahl, H. F. Pillsbury and Christ Opsahl Compose Party. One of the hunting parties who will spend the hunting season in the woods of northern Minnesota passed through the city last night enroute from Minneapolis to Blackduck, and from that city they will go southeast to Decker lake to take in the good deer and moose hunting in that vicinity. The party is composed of four well known gentlemen of Minne- apolis, namely, Swan J. Turn- olad, editor of Svenska-Ameri- kanska Posten; A. H. Opsahl, the distinguished Minneapolis photo- grapher; H. F. Pillbury, grand- son to former Governor Pills- bury,and Christ Opsahl,manager of the Brainerd branch of the Minneapolis photographic estab- lishment. The locality in which they will hunt this fall is said to be liter- ally overruun with big game, and in view of the fact that they haye spent a number of hunting sea- sons in northern Minnesota, it is expected that they will secure a number of trophies of the hunt. On the return trip the party will stop off at Bemidji and spend a few days looking over the city and calling on friends here.

Loud, who died yesterday morning, will occur at the family residence on Bemidji avenue at 2:30 o’clock tomorrow afternoon.

Price of Grand Rapids and Attorney Case of Cloquet appeared and pres- ented arguments in the divorce suit of Harder vs. Harder, both the parties in! the action liy- ing at Grand Rapids, where their matrimonially bliss was inter- rupted because Mrs. Harder thought that her husband has been harder than he had any rrason to be. The case occupied thie attention of the court during the entire forenoon and no de- cision has been rendered as yet. FOOT BALL Game to Be Played Sunday on Local Grounds Between Be- midji and Park Rapiis. The management of the local foot ball team have completed ar- rangements for a game with Park Rapids which will played Sunday in this city. The visiting team is said to be one of the strongest: aggregations in the northern part of the state and last year won a number of exciting con- tests. The local team has been strengthened for the event and counstant practice has put the boys in shape to be prepared to go against any old thing that comes along. Cows Destroy Lawns. Considerable complaint has been heard from owners of lawns quested to meet at the hall to- | throughout tho city on account of the running loose of stock, and i | is expected that those who have | 4 been injured by the depredations of cows and horses will take drastic measures to stop the nui- sance unless the stock is tied up by their owners. The nocturnal visit of one horse or cow toa lawn is sufficient to injure it to such an extent that it would be neces- sary to replant the grass. ELECTION Results in Gubernatorial Contest About the Same as Yesterday. The results in the contest for governor remain practically the same as yesterday, and there is no question at the present time of the election of John A. John- son for the position. In Beltrami county only two precincts have been heard from since the publi- cation of theresults in Jast night’s Pioneer and these slightly in- crease Dunn’s majority in the county. From present indica- tions the majority of the republi- can candidates will carry the county by 800 votes. Seventeen precincts are yet to hear from. For all offices excepting that of sheriff the republican candidates in the county proved successful, Mr. Bailey winning out by a ma- jority now estimated at from 250 to 800 votes. His majority last night was 168 and this has been increased by the addition of the two precincts heard from to 182. Resolutions.

Last summer while recovering from ill- ness of fever, I had a severe attack of Inflammatory Rheumatism in the knees, from which I was unable to leave my room for several months. I was_treated by two doctors and also tried different kinds of linaments and medicines which seemed to relieve me from pain for awhile, but at the same time I was not any nearer getting well. One day while reading a paper Isaw an advertisement of §. 8. 8. for Rheumatism, I delided to give ita trial, which I did at once, After T had taken three bottles I felt a great deal better, and I still continued to take it regularly until I was eutirely cured. I now feel better than for years, and I cheerfully recommend S. S.’S. to any one suffering from Rheumatism. 613 32d St. CHAs. E. GILDERSLERVE.
