PLEASANT FUNCTIONS Two Enjoyable Dancing Par- ties Held Last Evening Side by Side. No more pleasan: social func- tions were ever held in Bemidji than the two dancing parties which were held last evening, side by side, at the Grill and at O’Leary & Bowser’s new hall respectively. The young married people of the city gaye one of their pleasant dancing parties at the Grill hall followed by a supper late in the evening. The attendance was large at these parties, which are givenlevery two weeks, and are steadily growing in popularity. At the same time the bachelor maids and the bachelor men of the city trippd the light fantas- tic toe with great enjoyment and abundant merriment in the new hall erected by O’Leary & Bow- ser next door to the Grill. Both functions were among the most suecessful of the year. PRINCESS ~ Grocery Co. Don’t forget that our line of Canned Goods is the best. Our Princess Brand Coffees and Teas cannot be beaten.

Princess Grocery Co; M. E. CARSON, Mgr CUT HIS THROAT HUNG HIMSELF| Makes Doubly Sure of Death. Dan McDonald, a Cass Lake bartender, crazed with drink, Thursday night cut his— throat from ear to ear, making a horri- ble wound. He was taken to the hospital from which he escaped in his night shirt yesterday fore- noon. He was not found for sev- eral hours when his dead body was discovered hanging from the rafter of a barn in the residence district. McDonald had been on a pro- tracted spree. He had been in Cass Lake about a month, com- ing there from Superior and is said to haye relatives in Canada. HIGH BRIDGE INTO CITY New Plans for the Minneap- olis, Red Lake & Mana- toba Railway. It is understood that there has been a radical change in the route by which the Minneapolis, Red Lake and Manatoba railway will enter Bemidji. It has prac- tically been decided to abandon the proposed line entering the city just west of the electric light plant ‘and to crogs, thesGre Northern by an overhea two miles west of the city near Dr. Blakeslee’s farm, and then swing east paralieling the Great Northern’s line into the city. This manner of getting into the city while more expensive for the company, will simplify many of the problems of entering the town, A party of men is at work to- day grading south of the Great Northern tracks. CLUB IS MAKING GOOD PROGRESS Bemidji Musical Club Is Achieving a Reputation Second to None. The work of the Ladies Musi- cal Club of this city is meeting with success quite out of propor- tion to that enjoyed by similar organization in other cities of even a larger growth. The pro- grams rendered by the club are superior in artist merit to those rendered in much larger cities and success of the club is a mat ter of gratifications to those of the city who are musically in- clined and the club is one of which Bemidji has great reason to be proud : Following is the program for next Monday’s meeting at the home of Mrs. R.

DRAGGED *“ 300 FEET Mutilated Body of Man Found Scattered Over Railroad Track. TERRIBLE ACCIDENT AT FREE. MAN WEST OF CROOKSTON. Vietim of Accident Unknown— Investigation as to the Cause of His Death. The Crookston Times for this morning gives the following ac- count of a terrible accident which took place & short distance west of that city on the line of the Northern Pacific: The horribly mutilated remains of an unknown man were found this morning at Freeman by the Northern Pacific train crew that arrived from Grand Forks on a frieght train at about noon. Freeman is a small station be- tween this city and East Grand Forks where no agent is station- ed and the remains were found about four feet from the rails on a wagon crossing, The yictim of the accident was horribly main- ed, both legs and one arm having been completely severed from his body and the head stove in, one side being gone entirely. The portion of the body found was entirely naked, a portion of a shirtband around the neck of the remains being the only stitch of clothing on the body. Lying along and on the track and scat- tered over a distance of 300 feet to the east of the body were dis- membered portions of the re. mains, and a necktie, collar, a pair of shoes and the remnants of a blue serge vest. There were no rings on the fingers of the dead man, and nothing found with the scraps of clothing that would serve as a means of identi- fiacation, but three miles further west the section crew found a coat and vest in the pockets of which was discovered a bunch of keys. Itis possible these may lead to determining the dead man’s identity. Asnear as could be datermined the victim was a short heavy set man, with very heavy, light-color- ed eyebrows and heavy but very light colored hair. The clothing was so rent and begrimed from being dragged that it could not be determined whether the man was well dressed or not, except- ing that the piece of the vest found was made of good cloth. Marks on the tracks and along the rails showed that the body had been dragged at least 300 feet from the time the man was hit or fell from a train be- fore it was finally thrown to one side of the track. ; It cannot be determined ex- actly when the accident occurred. Itis supposed, however, that the man was hit or fell off the frieght that went west last evening, or the passenger that went to Grand Forks from here this morning early. The coat and vest were found at Merrill station three miles farther:! ’ The section boss is quite certain that the remains were not lying by the crossing when he passed the spot this morning, but it is barely possible that he might have been looking in another direction.” The re- mains will be brought to this city and an inquest will depend on the circumstances that the coroner may be able to discover on his trip of investigation this afternoon.

Notice is hereby given that the partnership heretofore existing ketween Julius Dahl and Arthur Brose, under the firm name of Julius Dahl & Co., has been this day dissolved by mutual consent, Mr. Brose having transferred his interests to Andrew Dahl. The business will be continued under the former firm name.

JuLius DAHL, ARTHUR BROSE. Subseribe for the Pioneer. JOS. MARKHAM IS TREASURER Popular Bemidji Man Honor- ed at '_First State Meeting of Hotel Men. The first meeting of the hotel men of Northern Minnesota was "|held in the parlors of the Grand Central hotel at St. Cloud yester- day and the organization was made permanent by electing the following officers. President—Wm. Rawson, Wa- dena. Secretary—A. H. Leimbacher, St. Clond. Treastrer—Joseph Markham, Bemidji. The meeting was held for the purpose of discussing the rates which were to be charged by the hotels in the nothern part of the state and was largely attended. It is the desire of the different landlords to have a uniform price in each place and then there will be no kicking on the rates charg- ed by the traveling public in dif- ferent placesand they will expect to be charged accordingly in each town. The matter of running free buses was discus sed and it was decided to charge to guests of the hotel twenty-five cents for the round. trip and twenty-five cents each way to outsiders. This will go into effect Jan. 1, and conse- quently no one will get a free ridein this city after that‘date. The next meeting of the associa- tion will probably held some time in July. The report of the landlords present shows that Mr. Mark- ham has the distinction of pay- ing a higher scale of wages to his employes than any other landlord in the state. Rector of St. Luke’s.—Ashburn- ham, Ontario, Testifies to the Good Qualities of Chamber- lain’s Cough Remedy. Ashburnham, Ont., April 18, 1908.—I think it is only right that I should tell you what a won- derful effect Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy has produced. The day before Easter I was so distressed with a cold and cough that I did not think to be able to take any duties the next day, as| my voice was almost choked by the cough.' The same day I re- ceived an order from you for a bottle of your Cough Remedy. I at once procured a sample bot- tleand took about three doses of the medicine. To my great relief the cough and cold had completely \~ disappeared 'and’l was able to W preach threetimes on Easter Day. | vy I know that this rapid and ef-|y fective cure was due to your Cough Remedy. I make this tes- timonial without solicitation, be- ing thankful to have found such a Godsent remedy. Respectfully yours, E. A. Langfeldt, M. A, Rector of St. Luke’s Church.
