He said that he was corfident of Japan’s suc- cess in the struggle now in pro- gress and that he thought the war would be over inside of six months providing the winter does not prove too severe. “Ev- erywhere sympathy is with us,” said Mr. Odana, “and during my travels through the large cities of this country I haye not heard a word against Japan. Weare in the right and should win.” He has already remitted sey- eral large sums of money to the Japanese government officials which have been solicited by him from American sympathizers.

Will Return to Northome and De- vote His Attention to the Homestead. Otto Schmidt, the “Northome sixteen-thousand-aire,” is in Min- neapolis safe and sound. While his friends were fearing that he had been foully dealt with by Minneapolis thugs, who were after his $16,000 he was in St. Louis, watching the windup of the world’s fair. A Minneapolis ‘tailor made two suits of clothes for Schmidt and another suit was for a friend of Schmidt’s who had stood by him in earlier days. As soon as the suits were ready they went to St. Louis. Two days ago they returned to Minneapolis. They have been there since. Schmidt is stopping at one of the hotels. He reported at police headquarters yesterday after- noon, after learning through the papers that he was believed to have been the victim of foul play. He had heard that the police had arrested a man on the charge of spending his money. “All this talk about my throw- ing my $16,000 away is foolish,” said Schmidt. “I’'m going to put a lot of it into my claim up near Northome, I spent about $200 in Northome the day after I got the money. I don’t deny that 1 drank. Then Icame to Minne- apolis, ordered some suits. Iam going to Chicago and then I will go back to Northome.” *‘Don’t be afraid of me flashing any rolls around Minneapolis. I'm Mr. Wisentein with the dough. It won’t doany good to hit me on the head, for I don’t bear the coin. And it won’t do any good to coax, because I'm 3 stony-hearted jailor.” First Dance. The Bemidji orchestra has ar- ranged to give a grand ball at the city hall on next Thursday even- ing, Dec. 15, and bills have been posted announceing the event. The feature of the occasion will be the music, which will furnish- ed by a five piece orchestra. Read the Daily Pioneer. JABE HINES STILL BUSY Minnesota Dowieite Secures Options Upon Blackduck Village Real Estate. WILL CARRY DOWIEISM INTO CONFINES OF VILLAGE. Options Hold Until Jan. 1, When Purpose of Company Will Be Known. The mysteriouscompany which is represented by Jabez Hines, the Blackduck Dowieite, is still securing options upon lands near that village, and the latest re- orts are to the effect that Mr. ines made a deal for the pur- chase of alarge amount of real estate situated within the limits of the up-line town,- and that Dowieism will be carried into the heart of the village. Itis known positively that he has made over- tures to several citizens of Black- duck for the purchase of their realty holdings in the village, and itis stated upon good author- ity that he has secured options upon several of the business in- stitutions. What purpose the company has for purchasing real estate within the village limits of Black- duck can only be guessed at, but in view of the fact that Mr. Hines-is such a radical exponent of Dowieism, it is believed that a colony of many hundreds of people will make its home near Blackduck.
