BUSINESS MEN’S CROOKSTON TO TO GATHER IN CLUB IS SOUGHT| PLAY TOMORROW| THE CITY PARK Mayor Carter Would Have Or- ganization to Look After City’s Interests. PROPER BOOSTING OF TOWN DEMANDS IT, HE DECLARES The Whole Burden of Entertain- ing City’s Guests Now Falls on Him. Mayor A. A. Carter is advocat- ing the starting of a Bemidji Business Men’s club; an organi- zation which shall be for this city what the Twenty;five Thous and clubis for Crookston, and what the Commercial clubs of other cities are for them. The mayor is much in earnest andin speaking of the matter with the Pioneer stated his yiews fully. “I believe that a Business Men'’s club would do a wonderful amount of good for Bemidji,” he declared. “We are growing and wish to grow even faster. We are receiving inguiries every week from people who want to locate here, and want to learn of the city and its advantages, and every week, also, there are visit- ors in town whom the interests of the city demand shall be en- tertained. “At present there isno one tolook after this work but the wmayor, and the whole burden of it is falling on me. While I am glad to do my share toward building up the city, I have busi- ness affairs of my own which de- mand my attention and itis prac- tically impossible for me to do my business justice and at the same time answer all inquiries and entertain all visitors. ““The work is properly that of a Business Men’s club, anyway. A club always is more imposing than any single man can be and so can have a greater and better influence. More than that, it would mean that several men would look after visitors, and so insure them better entertain- ment. “I have thought of this for a long time, and I firmly believe that it would be for the best in- terests of the city to. organize such a club. I respectfully sub- mit it to the business men of Be- midji for consideration, atany rate.”. JURY ACQUITS TENSTRIKE MAN John Cosdrove Tried in Justice Court on Charge of Steal- ing Posts. John Cosdrove of Tenstrike was yesterday acquitted on a charge of petit larceny by a jury in Judge Skinvik’s court. The charge against him was the theft of 300 feet of cedar posts belong- ing to Kaye & Carter of that vil- lage. It seems that the posts had originally belonged to a man who was forced by ill health to leave town, Hedied while away, but before the end disposed of the posts to Kaye & Carter. Cos- drove did not know this and sup- posing the timber belonged to the estate, hauled it away from the railroad track, along side of which it was piled. He was arrested and forced to stand trial on a charge of petit larceny. Barber Shops to Close. Bemidji, Minn., June 16, 1906.

Game Will Be Fast—Hallet and Holstein the Home Battery. The Bemidji baseball team will play a game tomorrow with a team selected from the best play- ers in Crookston. The game will be played at the old grounds, and will be called promptly at 3:30 p. m. Hallet and Holstein will form the battery for the home team, but the makeup of the visiting battery is not known. Lee Le Gore will not play; as his physi- cian has forbidden his playing any more for some time to come. However, Hallet is a flne pitcher and will fill the vacancy very well. He has lots of speed and good control, all that any pitcher needs to be a successful box artist. The rest of the team will play in their usual positions, and it is believed thatan interesting game will result. Hallet and Burg, members of the local baseball team, played with Akeley at the encampment this week. Akeley defeated Long Prairie in three fast games, and closed the week yesterday by defeating the Walker aggre- gation, The redoubtable Rogers ‘‘got his” in the game yesterday, among the hits secured off his delivery being two home runs, one of which was made by Hallet. The Akeley team will play Be- midji at Cass Lake either on Thursday or Saturday of next week. ‘“‘Doc” Answers Martin. To the Editor of the Pioneer— I wish to correct a statement made by Carl Martin in the last issue of his Beltrami County News. After insinuvating dire things for me, relative toJ. H. Maybury, Mr. Martin miscon- strues the records of the North- ern Minnesota Firemen’s Tour- nament association as compiled by me and published in the Pio- neer of June 7. Mr. Martin quotes the profes- sional record of Mr. Maybury, made while in various colleges and making a living on the cinder path, and advises me to read up. The facts of the matter are that Maybury entered but two foot races in the tournaments of this association, both of which were run in Bemidji. Inone of these the time for the 100 yards was an even 11 seconds. In the other race, which was a special race between Maybury and O. E, Bailey, it was announced on the grounds that the time was 10 2-5 Maybury’s name ap- pears nowhere else in the records, sc that [ am rightin giv- ing the records of the associa- tion. Maybury,as anyone knows, has a record of less than 10 seconds for the 100 yards, but he never made any such time while running in the races of the Northern Minnesota Firemen’s Tournament association, Mr. Martin’s insinuation and advice to meas to consulting a hand. book being entirely out of order. I make this statement in jus- tice to myself and the present members of the association. Ray Schumaker of Bemidji and Tom Dilloway of Eveleth hold jointly the record of the.100-yard fire- men’s foot race of the associa- tion,viz: I0 1.5 seconds, which, as I have stated before, beats the best time made by Maybury in this association by 15 of a second. ‘Figures,” in an offi- cial record book, “do not lie.” A.

Baptist Association Seeks Open Air Tonight and Sunday Afternoon. 5 The beautiful weather is draw- ing the Northwestern Baptist as- sociation into the open air. To- night and tomorrow afterncon the assembly, several hundred strong, will gather for services in the city park. This evening the open air| speaker will be Rev. E. M. Att- wood of Little Falls, and Sunday night Rev. Dr. Riley of Minne- apolis, far famed as an orator and theologian, will conduct the ser- vices. Friday evening was a notable one for the association. Dr. Riley delivered a powerful dis- course on ‘‘The Lord’s Return, or the Second Coming of Christ.” He based his sermon on the fourth chapter of First Thessa- lonians, verses 16 and 17. The house was packed to the doors and the talk was pronounced one of the strongest ever heard in this city. After the sermon the election of officers was held, resulting in the selection of F. A. Vanderpoel of Park Rapids as moderator of the association and Rev. W. E. Wrapp of Battle Lake as clerk and treasurer. This forenoon was given up largely to business, and this afternoon was the women’s meet- ing under direction of the ladies of the denomination. Tomorrow forenoon the follow- ing program will be carried out: 9:30 song service, 9:45, testimony service: “My Conversion,” Emphasis on the realty of re- ligious experience by a host of witnesses. E. M. Attwood, leader. 10:85, choir, and an- nouncements. 10:40, address: “Some Secrets N. W. Baptists ought to Know.” E. R. Pope. Tomorrow evening the sermon will be preached by Rev. W. T, Milliken, M. A. of Park Rapids, and the meetings will close with an address by Dr. Riley. BUILDING BOOM ON AT BAUDETTE J.F. Collins Says $100,000 Will Go Into Structures There This Summer. J. F. Collins of Baudette, who was in the city yesterday, stated to the Pioneer that his new hotel, “The Golden Eagle,” will be com- pleted in a short time. It is a strictly modern structure of thirty-five rooms. “Baudettee is enjoying abuild- ing boom this year,” says Mr. Collins. “Upward of $100,000 worth of buildings will be erected this summer. A new jail and a fire depart- ment with modern equipment are among the improvements to be made by the village. Speaking of the objection to the incorporation which has had so much notoriety of late he says. “I am one of the board of vil- lage trustees and as yet there has been no papers served upon us. The talk which the twin city papers have created by the arti- cles appearing in their columns has done the town a great injus- tice. Men Who Walked on All Fours. In the kingdom of Poland there was formerly a law according to which any person found gullty of slander was compelled to walk on all fours through the streets of the town where be lived accompanied by the beadle, as a sign that he was disgraced and unworthy of the name of man. At the next pub- lic festival the delinquent was forced to appear crawling upon hands and knees underneath the banqueting ta- ble and barking like a doz.
