White preached the baccalaureate sermon to the graduating class of the Bemidji high school last evening in the Presbyterian church. The house was filled to its utmost capacity many being turned away. The speaker chose as his sub- ject “Educational Ideals,” and preached asermon full of sound advice. He dwelt upon the point that a man or woman might have a good school education and yet not'be well educated for the bat- tle of life, and also besought them not to forget that the most important thing of allis to pre- pare for the life to come. LIBRARY DISPUTE NEARS AN END Crookston Commercial Club Set- tles Wrangle.Over Site of Carnegie Gift. Crookston, Minn.,, May 28— After more than two years of de- lay, prospects for the building of the Carnegie public library are brightening. The delay was caused by a wrangle between the city council and the library com- mission over the location, the former selecting a site in the city park and “the latter, backed by an injunction secured by citizens, desiring a location which would give the structure a better dis- play. The question was brought up in the newly organized Commer- cial club this week and through its determined stand that action should be taken at once, the li brary commission held a hasty session, selected a site, and it is probable that the city council at its next meeting will concur n the selection. The library will cost $12,500. MARKHAM BOYS WIN BALL GAME Inning Contest Between Hotels—Brinkman Loses 5 to 6.

The Bemidji ball team played another game yesterday and it was again a case of too much Be- midji—score, Bemidji 11, Deer River 1. During the past two weeks the locals have been resting, princi- pally for the reason that it has been impossible to arrange a game with any outside team that could give our ball tossers any- thing like a contest. The boys had become restless from their enforced idleness, and yesterday they gave the fans here an ex- hibition of ginger that made them glad, and they had visions of something like Bemidji 10, Hibbing 0. But to resume: Earlier in the season, Bemidji and Deer River clashed (that is the proper term to use, as there was ill feeling) and Bemidji won the ‘game, easily, - Deer River, later, shut out Cass Lake, 10 to 0, and again, a week ago, to demonstrate that the first game had been no acci- dent, trimmed Cass Lake, by a large majority, But, alas, and alack, they grew chesty and like all pride which goeth before a fall, they tackled Bemidji—with the usual result. The weather man (who had been handing out an assortment of weather that made the oldest settler shiver, for several days previous to Sunday) decided to favor the Sabbath with some real summer atmosphere—with the result that there was a fair-sized crowd out to those grounds which are only. removed from being at the extreme end of the city limits by the fact that the city cemetery is an insurmount able obstacle, Those same fans and their friends wearied of the frightful slaughter which Leigh LeGore and his aids were handing out to the visitors and indulged in the less strenuous pastime of horse races, political discussions and song, But, in passing, Leigh LeGoré should be given credit for having pitched a fine game and he was given good support. The locals hit the ball, fielded in a’sensa- tional manner, and were encour- aging each other at all times. They stole bases with an audac- ity that would make a Philadel- phia alderman blush with shame; and when Berg (the new man from Duluth) deliberately walked from third base to the home plate while the two Deer River Indians (from Tomah, Wis.) were flashing signals to the sun, the fans broke forth into melody that was both loud aund deep, and John Doran and George Flem- ming started for the stable for consultation. We are, like Caesar, looking for more baseball worlds to con- quor—oprincipally Hibbing. It is understood that the Walk- er team will play here next Sun- day.

Mr. Bloom- field Gives Address. Memorial services in honor of the old soldiers aho have gone beyond were held in the city hall yesterday morning and were par- ticipated in by the local churches and the local lodges. The hall was crowded. to the doors. Rev. Thos. Bloomfield preached a powerful sermon. He chose as his topic a comparison between the Israelitish nation and the United States, and pointed out how the Israelites tried a repub- lican form of government and failed, where we have succeeded. The speaker brought out some strong points which lingered in the memory of his hearers. Among them were the three rules. The golden rule, with which all are familiar; the silver rule, ““Do unto others as they do unto you;” and the brass rule, ‘‘Get there,” Rev. Mr. Bloom- field declared that too many Americans were following the third rule. BREAKS GROUND FOR BUILDING Business of Northland Produce Company Is Already Under Way.

HAS LETTERS OF LOBBYIST INDIANA LAWYER TELLS OF NE. FARIOUS WORK IN STATE LEGISLATURE. Wabash, Ind, May 28.—Arthur L. Hughes, a lawyer, said during the day he has a large number of letters of 0. A. Baker, who is in hiding to es cape the eftects of an indictment on the charge of attempting to bribe in the last legislature in connection with the passing of the anti-cigarette law. Mr. Hughes agreed to place the let- ters in the hands of the governor if assured of immunity for Baker. The governor declined. Mr. Hughes in dis- cussing these letters said: “One of the lot was signed by a man named Gibbs, whose office was in New York city, and who was connect- ed with the tobacco trust. The con- tents of this letter referred to the purchase of legislative votes and ap- praised one member as worth $1,000, another at $500 and a third at $250. *I know who these men are and Gibbs was not far astray in his val- uation. I know, too, What members of the legislature were approachable and those who were not and a lot of them belonged to the first class. Gibbs was succeeded by a man named Cole, who was connected with the tobacco trust and here is a telegram to Baker in cipher. Translated it instructs Baker to ‘go ahead with the deal’ whereby certain votes were to be ob- tained against the cigarette bill. “Baker was in communication with the insurance companies during the sessions of .the legislature. He was not emploved by the tobacco trust alone and the work done for the in- surance or&anizations was quite as nefarious as that of the tobacco trust. Baker has the documents to show that to be the truth.” : .{ the history of your movement. W haye secured Tohn B.

NINETEEN CONGCERNS AND THEIR AGENTS INDICTED BY GRAND JURY AT LIMA, O. CERTAIN PUBLIC OFFIGIALS INVOLVED COUNTY FORCED TO PAY FROM THREE TO FIVE TIMES THE ORDINARY: PRICE. Lima, 0., May 28 —Nineteen bridge companies and agents have been in- dicted by the grand jury, but the coun- ty officials refuse to make their names public until service can be had upon them. Thirty-four indictments in all were returned, but true bills against the bridge companies and agents were “secret.” Conditions in Allen county, because of the operation of the bridge trust, are reported by the grand jury as even worse than expected. Of the thirty-four indictments re- turned there are two each against for- mer County Commissioners T. C. Burns, deorge W. Kanawd and Albert Hefiner, The exposures regarding the bridge trust operations here are said to show that the county has paid from three to five times what should have been the ordinary cost of bridges. The most sensational evidence, it is said, came from the bridge tr agents, James T. Adams of Findlay, John Dun of Columbus and John Reed of Canton, each of whom was exempt from any local prosecutions. —————— UNION NOT RECOGNIZED. Anthracite Operators Deny Statement by Mitchell. New York, May 28 —There was nothing in the form of the recent set. ilement of the anthracite coal contro- versy to constitute even in a remote degree a recognition of the Mine Worlkers' unifon, according to a state. ment issued at the headquarters of the anthracite operators here. The statement was issued as a reply “to assertions made by President Mit. chell in addressing the mine worker: convention at Scranton on May 8.” In this address Mr. Mitchell said, ac- cording to the statement: “You have taken a most advanced step and have secured for vourselves advantages never before enjoyed in You have an agreement not only with the United Mine Workers of America, but with its officers.” ment continues, “has already given rise to attempts to exclude nonunion men from reemployment in some parts of the anthracite region. The arrangement recently concluded in- volved no further concessions to the United Mine Workers regarding its standing than was involved strike settlement of 1902. This ar rangement does mot constitute an agreement with that organization or with any one professing to represent it. At no point whatever was the ex- istence of the union recognized and even when the final agreement was made it was merely oné between the respective companies and their own employes. HIGH GALE AT DULUTH. Lifesavers Rescue Seven Men En gaged in Wrecking Work. Duluthi, May 28—Memories of the awful gale of last November were re- vived during the morning when the iifesaving crew was called on to res- cue seven firemen from the steamer Mataafa, from which nine men were drowned last fall. Wrecking opera- tions have Dbeen in progress for sev- eral weeks on the steamer and seven men were left aboard the vessel (o keep the pumps going. The gale in- creased so during the night that the waves again broke over the wreck, putting out the fires and placing the men fu peril. So high was the sea in the morning that the wrecking tugs could not approach the vessel and the lifesavers were summoned. ~The life: boat was launched and the men taken off safely.
