THREATENED CREMATION Blackduck Man Would Burn House But His Plans Are Frustrated. WANTED TO RID HIMSELF OF HIS BETTER HALF. Arrested and Brought to Bemidiji and Will Serve Sixty Day Sentence. J. W. Sornberger, a resident of Blackduck, was brought to Bemidji this morning from that city by Chief of Police Brunelle and turned over to Sheriff Bailey upon a committment to the county jail for sixty days issued yesterday by Judge Green. Sornberger, together with his wife, has been living in a house owned by A. Paquin but of late he has acted in a manner wholly foreign to the ideal husband and has had frequent spats with his better half although none ended seriously. He frequently made threats to inflict dire punishment upon Mrs, Sornberger for not conforming to his wishes and some of them were carried out and were silently horne by the woman. He has been getting worse, however, instead of bet- ter, and Monday night in a fit of rage threatened to burn the house in which they lived and said that he would arrange things so that his wife would be con- fined in the building. She became frightened and notified the police of the words her husband had spoken and the man was immediately put under arrest. He appeared before Judge Green yesterday and was given a sentence of 60 days in the county jail. THE NEWS GETS THE PRINTING No Other Bids Considered Worthy of Inspection By the Board. The new board of county com- missioners met this morning shortly after eleven o’clock. County Auditor Wilmann imme- diately read a resolution award- ing the printing for the year to the Beltrami County News at full legal rates the News to publish the official business of the county in the Tenstrike Tribune and the Blackduck American at its own expense.

In the make up of the senate committees Senator Swedback of this city secures an import- ant assignment in the chairman- ship of the committee on agri- culture. Assignments other than chairmanships have not been announced. The most important committee so far as northern Minnesota is concerned is the committee on drainage and the chairmanship of this committee goes to Sena- tor A. D. Stephens of Crookston. Senator Stephens is an enthusi- astic advocate of drainage and at the last session secured the pas- sage of the famous three per cent bill by which counties can borrow money for drainage from the state funds at three per cent instead of paying seven per cent as before. MILITIA CO. ‘IS ASSURED Bemidji to Be Named as Lo- cation of Company of National Guards. Capt. Reynolds of the local in- dependent militia company has received information which prac- tically assures him of the loca- tion of acompany of national guards in this city in the very near future, and has called a meeting of the company for this evening at 8:30 at the city hall. The meeting will be for the purpose of perfecting an organization and otherwise pre- paring for the appointment. The minimum number of men which can be organized as a company is 46, while the maximum is 78, in- cluding officers. A place for drilling and a depository for arms and equipment haye been supplied and as soon as the ap- pointment takes place active work to make a good showing at the next regular encampment will be started. Crookston Journal Sold. The Crookston Journal was yesterday sold to two young men, Crawford and Berkland of that city, It is understood that a radical change will be made in the management of the paper. The Associated Press service will be discontinued and fully half the force will be let out in the interests of economy. It is claimed that the paper has lost $40,000 in the past two years. Officers Installed, A joint installation of the offi- cers of the Knights of Pythias and Rathbone Sisters was held last night at the K. P. hall and a large number of the members were in attendance. After the ceremonies had been completed all repaired to the Grill hall, where dancing was indulged in until a late hour. Supper was served at the Grill. Mrs. A. H. Pitkin arrived in the city last night from Crooks ton, where she spent the holi- days with friends; and will leave tonight for her home at Kelliher. son moved the adoption of the resolution and Commissioner Wagner seconded it. The ques- tion was put and Commissioners Gunderson and Wagner voted yes and nobody voted no and the deed was done quicker than you could say Jack Robinsen. A bid at less than half the legal rates was made by the Pioneer and the Blackduck American but the board did not consider it worth while to even open this bid—until after the printing had been let. The Pioneer congratulates the News and its colleagues the Ten- strike Tribune and the Black- duck American. The work is worth full legal rates and any newspaper that gets the printing ought to have the best rate al- lowed by law. = The salary of the county superin- tend was set last night at $1200. No further business was trans- acted today owingto the sickness of Commissioner Danaher. LE NARY WED AT Two Popular Couple Hold| ~ Hands While Marriage Vows Are Said.

Worth of that city officiating. Richard Morton acted as best man for Mr. Greenlaw and Miss Adeline Collett assisted Miss Vira Rey- nolds, while Bert Cook and Miss Susie Storey assisted Mr. Mor- ton and Miss Myra Reynolds. The ceremonies was performed in the presence of 150 invited guests and the room was beauti- fully decorated with evergreens and white roses. After the vows had been saida sumptuous din- ner was served in course and took up the better part of the afternoon. All the parties to the weddings are well known in and about Nary. FARMER’S TEAM CUT TO PIECES North Bound Freight Yester- day Collides With Wagon Near Pine River. - An accident which caused the death of a team of horses, demol- ished a wagon aud nearly cost a farmer his life, occurred yester- day afternoon near Pine River when the north bound M, & I. frieght collided with a wagon loaded with hay while rounding a curve in the road. The farmer was hauling hay to town and at- tempted to cross the track. The load was evidently too heavy for the horses, and they were stalled on the track when the heavy train came around the bend and crash- into the load, instantly killing both horses and scattering the hay in all directions. The farm- =r was upon the load but noticed the approaching train in time to jump from the load and he wasnot injured beyond a few scratches. His name is not known at the local station. Lahr Is|Deputy Coroner. Coroner E. H. Marcum has named J. P. Lahr as his deputy Mr. Lahr has already secured the necessary bonds and has quali- fied for the position. Mr. Lahr is well fitted for the office, being an embalmer, and has had much experience in the business.

Conan Doyle’s great detective character, has aroused is only measured by the enormous sale of those books. His first and most popular work, ““A Study in Scarlet” has been produced inplay form and is now entour, meeting with instan- taneous success, under the man- agement, of Tom Arthur.

Within a compara- tively brief period the commonwealth has emerged from the list of i herself as the greatest dairy state in the Union. The superiority of this product has been established at every national contest held in recent years. Numerous agencies have been jointly responsible for the growth and produc- tion and the improvement in the qual- ity of our dairy product. The agricul- tural school of the state university and the experimental station maintained there have been potent factors t realizati The dairy and food department of o own state government has also be conspicuous factor in the upbuilding of this industry and has also accom- plished much in preventing harmful adulterations of food products. The state can well afford to ‘pursue the most liberal policy toward both of these agencies. Legislation is neces- sary, especially with relation to the matter of pure food, and these laws should be framed upon the idea of edu- cation and development ‘rather than persecution. FORESTRY. The subject of forestry, while receiv- ing considerable attention by a num- ber of our people, is entitled to more consideration than has usually been given it at previous sessions of the legislature. The general laws of 1873 provided compensation for planting and cultivating trees on prairie land and along highways. The paying of compensation in the form-of bounties for planting trees on highways was later discontinued, but bounties for tree planting on prairie land aggre- gating $20,000 a year have since been paid. A tax for this purpose of one- tenth of one mill was provided for in 1881, but as it was found to yield more than $20,000 per year it was abolish- ed by the general laws of 1895, when an auunal appropriation of $20,000 was substituted in its place.

The members of the legislature from prairie counties should best be able to determine this matter. ' iL The forest preservation act of 1895 made town supervisors in the vicinity of forests and prairie lands fire war- dens and made it their duty to take necessary - precaution for the preven- tion as well as the extinguishment of fires. The lack of proper compensation has resulted in very inefficient service on the part of wardens thus selected. ened so that it will meet the dangers which might arigse through an excep- tional drought. EXAMINATION OF CITY ACCOUNTS In view of the vast sums of public revenue collected and disbursed by cities of the first class, such as Min- neapolis, St. Paul and Duluth, there is a sentiment among the taxpayers of those cities that the city finances should be subject to the-same state supervision by the public examiner as that now given to county finances. In Minneapolis, for example, the annual tax levy and expenditure approximaie $4,000,000, and there Is now no exam- ination and audit of the accounts of the city comptroller and treasurer, ex- cept that of a committee of aldermen who do not claim to be accountants or to make an expert examination. The need of such examination in the case of Minneapolis is apparent in the pub- BEMIDJI COMMERCIAL COLLEGE Will start classes in Bookkeeping, Shorthand, (Munson, Graham or Ben Pitman’s systems), Commercial Law, Arithmetic, Grammar, Lan- guage, Letter Writing, Spelling and Penman- ship; also Public School and Normal branches between January 2d and 9th If you are contemplating on taking any of the above courses, please confer with the principal regarding rates.

The legislature of 1891 passed a special act, now in force, giving state Inspection of city accounts to St. Paul and an extension of the same kind or similar provisions to all cities would appear to be a right step in the direction of municipal credit. economy and retrenchment. NON-PARTISAN JUDICIARY. In framing our form of government | y)y the final guarantee of the preservation | N1’ of the liberties of the.people was vest- ed in the judiciary. It was deemed that an independent judiciary was sufficient protection against oppres- sion and unconstitutional legislation. | vAy ‘holiday goods: 25% to 50% off!i We have commenced a discount sale on all Holiday Goods left over from the Christmas Sale. After a most satisfactory holiday trade we find we have left many small lots and odds and ends that we wish to close out before inventory; to do this prices have been cut regardless of profit. We ‘make good’ We ‘deliver the goods’ It is felt that under our present sys- tem of selecting judges, through par- tisan” conventions, these objects are not fully attained. There is a general demand for some change in the systém of selecling the judiciary. To accom- plish a change from our present sys-| \¥ tem two methods have been suggested, one being founded upon the national | J)% ideas of appointment and life tenure, the other by a separate election held in the spring of the year at the time | i of the annual town and village elec- tions. Of the two systems the latter, in my opinion, is preferable. Under a primary election law it is impossible to nominate a non-partisan judiciary and I would, therefore, recommend thau this law be so amended as to eliminate judicial offices from its pro- visions and. that a law be enacted which will provide for a separate ju- W dicial election. - CONCLUSION. ‘We are assembled today in the new capitol of the state. This splendid edifice is a monument to the energy, prosperity and culture of our people. ‘Whatever opposition may-have existed to its erection in the past the people | \df are now proud that its glittering dome overlooks the Capitol City of our be- loved state. This building is the prop- erty of the state and was provided as a place in which should be transacted the business of the people. As their servants you and I are commissioned to perform the duties of our several offices in their interest. We should here dedicate ourselves to that service, pledging our zeal, our fidelity and our honest purpose in an endeavor to do our duty to the people who have re- posed in us their confidence and their trust. - We should build not for today plone, but that future generations might reap.the reward of honest, patri- otic effort. Tf there must be sacrifice let. it not be at the expense of the state, If we must regard political con- siderations let us also remember that political parties are hut the vehicles of good government and that you and I will best serve-the parties of our choice by a conscientious effort to serve but one master and that master the sovereign people of the state of Minnesota. = .
