There is very little prospect of a division of Itasca county with the establishing of International Falls as a new county seat, if Aad A. Tone, county commis- sioner of Itasca county and a leading attorney of Northome, has sized upthe situation correct- ly. Mr. Toue was in Bemidji yes- terday afternoon on his way home from Grand Rapids, where he had been attending a term of distriet court, and explained the division fight at length to the Pioneer. ““The Itasca situation might be summarized by saying that there are t0o many towns wanting the county seat to allow the Inter- national Falls plan of division to carry at the polls this fall,” said Mr. Tone. “Division is sure to come some day, for we have a county nearly the size of the state of Massa- chusetts and with wonderful re- sources, and it is only a question of time when it will be settled thickly, but the timo is not ripe yet. Moreover, International Falls is at the extreme end of the county and there are a number of thriving villages scattered over the vast area which are all am- bitious. For instance, ihere is Big Fork and Little Fork, Deer River and Northome, All these villages will vote against the proposition. “The northern part of the county near International Falls will vote for separation, and a number of votes will probably be cast for it in Grand Rapids. but I look to see the proposition de feated.” Polk Wants State Loan. Polk county will ask the state for a loan of $34,000 with which to build county ditches. At a recent meeting of the Polk com- missioners a resolution -was passed addressed to the state and asking for the sum men- sioned. The neighboring county has made plans to build six ditches and finds itself without the ready cash to carry out the project. The exact cost of work has not been estimated, but the $34,000 will be ample. COURT GRINDING AT PARK RAPIDS Judge Spooner Hearing Several Interesting Cases—Grand Jury In Session. Judge Spooner, who 1s pre- siding at the term of district court being held at Park Rapids, came up last evening to attend Macalester college at St. Paul, pro- vided the college will raise $120,000 from other sources. Of this amount $100,000 has already been raised. ments, as did a number of prom inent business and professional men, Boost = Bemidi at Cass Lake on BEMIDJI DAY THURSDAY JUNE 21 ANNUAL PARADE BASEBALL---BEMIDJI VS AKELEY CHAMPIONSHIP HOSE RACE Follow the Band at 7 a. m.

The first male celebrity who made his mark as a dressmaker was Rhom: berg, the son of a Bavarlan peasant from the neighborhood of Munich. One day in the month of May, 1730, a beau- tiful equipage was seen driving about Paris with an escutcheon In the shape of a corset and an open palr of scissors in the middle painted on the panel of each door. That was Rhomberg's coat of arms, and It told its own tale. He ‘was a genius in his way and owed bhis success chiefly to his skill in disguls- Ing slight deformities and bringing out the most attractive charms of his fair customers, - He rapidly made a fortune and left his heirs an annual income of 50,000 francs. Under the first empire and the restoration Leroy supplied the dresses of the ladies of the court and the higher nobility from his splendid mansion in the Rue Richelieu. An ef- | fusive encomium was written upen him by Auger, a member of ae acad- amy. 3 IDJI DAY PROGRAM BEST i.qng List of Events Scheduled for Cass Lake Firemen’s Tournament.

END CAME SUDDENLY. Governor Pattison of Ohio Dies After Lingering lliness. Cincinnati, June 20.—John M. Pat- tison, governor of Ohio, is dead at his home in Milford, a suburb of this city, He passed a good night and there was no report of any serious change dur- ing the day. During the afternoon the news was considered favorable and the end came without warning, Governor Pattison entered upon the responsibilities of his oflice in a some- what weakened condition, the strain of the political campaign having so worn cn him that a trip to the South was taken in November and Decem- ber in the hope of regaining health. However, when he returned he was still weak and, under the advice of his physician, his part of the inau- guration ceremonies was gone through with the utmost care. John M. Pattison, boy soldier, law- ver, state legislator, member of con- gress and governor of Ohio, was a native of Clermont county, O. Born June 13, 1847, he enlisted as a volun- teer in the United States army, when but sixteen years of age, in 1864, He was admitted to the bar in 1872 and elected to-the lower honse of the Ohio legislature in 1873. He became a member of the Ohio senate in 1890 and was elected to the Fifty-second congress. = By the death of Governor Pattison General Andrew L. Harris of Eaton, 0., becomes the acting governor. Gen- eral Harris is a Republican, Governor Pattison having been the only Demo- crat on the state ticket elected last fall, HELD ON BRIBERY CHARGE. Wisconsin ' Secretary of State Must - " . stand Trial. Madison, Wis,, June 20.—Secretary ‘of State Walter L. Houser has been held for trial in the municipal court by Judge Donovan.

Houser’s bond was fixed at $2,000, which he furnished. The case will probably be tried late this month. e 5 AFE 7 i A lawyer who visited Rome tell \bow the fire department grappled with ‘a blaze in the Eternal City. He says: ‘The fire was ln what we would call a grocery store. It seemed a long time before the fite department re- sponded, but after awhile I saw a hose wagon dash around the corner, ‘with a number of firemen standing on the running boards on each side. The wagon stopped at a hydrant, and each fireman jumped from the wagon with a little roll of hose. The first man coupled his to the hydrant, and then each man coupled his section to the preceding section. . Finally they bad ‘water on the fire, and after another long period a man with a plumed hat drove up In a yictoria. He was the chief. The captain of the company and the chief saluted with much cere- mony, then shook hands and then held a long and dignified conversation. Finally, T suppose, the captain told the chief the grocery was on fire, and the chief acknowledged it was and com plimented him on his perspicuity. Oh, yes, they finally put the fire out, and Rome still stands!” Dificult Haymaking. One of the most curious sights that one notices in the agricultural parts of Norway is the peculiar way of drying out the hay. On-account of the ex- treme dampness the grass rots if left on the ground after it is mowed. Wood- en drying fences that streteh for hun- dreds of yards across the fields are built, and every night the hay is huns out to dry, like the family wash. The sun helps along in the daytime, but it is only a half hearted help, and in the neighborhood of Bergen, where it is said to rain 364 days out of the year the hay is almost always ‘“‘an the fence.” In the lake districts, where the hilly country makes means of trans- portation very difficult, a heavy copper wire is stretched from the top of a mountain to the village in the valley below. Down this huge masses of hay are sent sailing through the air, some- times whizzing dangerously near the unwary tourist’s head. — New York Tribune. Yes, We Are Restless. “We are a restless people,” observes the Sedgwick (Kan) Pantagraph. “Every thin woman longs to be fat. Every fat woman wants to grow thin. Every town man longs for the time when he can retire to the quiet of the country, and every farmer hopes to some day quit work and morve to town, where he can take life easy. Country newspaper men would like to try their hand on a city daily. The fellows on the big dallies dream of a time when they can own a paper of their own. In youth we long for maturity. In age we yearn for the happy days of childhood. There is no excuse for it other than that we all seem to be built that way. The grass seems to be just a little bit greener and tier most any direction from the pl?z*ou oceu- py right now. Contentment is as near to happiness as you can get in this world.” Boy Was a Good Listener. The Smiths were not overcautious in discussing neighbors’ faults in the presence of thelr little son. A van one -.day backed up to the curb, and, much to Mrs. Smith’s disgust, her boy Tom- my assisted an objectionable neighbor to move. The. little fellow worked hard and made himself very useful. When the last wagonload had been hauled away and the doors of the va- cant house locked Tommy returned home, tired and disgusted. His moth- er could not reconcile the boy's early enthusiasm with his present dejection, and she asked him what was the mat- ter. “I worked and watched around the house all day,” whined the tired little fellow, “but 1 didn't see them take any skeletons out of the closets.”— New York Times. They had just ¢ into a new house, and they stood surveying the tituation. “I wish" she said, “that tais carpet was velvet.” - “I don't,”” re sponded the husband unfeelingly. 1 wish it was down.” .

The brilliantly plumed birds of the tropical forests are exposed to many dangers, and if they were not gifted with peculiar yet useful instincts they would fall ready victims to their ener mies. Chattering monkeys and big Bnakes steal and eat their eggs, while their offspring are preyed upon by foes on every side. But it takes a sly mon- key or snake to get ahead of the tailor bird, a small East Indian singing bird. She hidey her nest so skillfully that her | hard they try.

A Miniature Inland Ocean, i One of the queerest sheets of water | in New England or within the limits of the United States, or the world for that matter, is the celebrated “Snow's ocean” in the state of Maine. When calm it is to all appearances an ordinary pond of no great dimensions, but ob- servations and investigations made more than a century ago prove that the little body of water is a veritable ocean. Tt is located in Orrington, near Bangor, and its peculiarity is that, al- though situated among some high hills l some distance from ocean or river, it has tides which rise and fall as regular- ly as do those of the great Atlantie. Many so called sclentific examinations of this miniature ocean’s bed and sur- rounding banks have been made, but so far no tenable explanation of the phenomenon has ever been given to the public: Language In France, There are several districts in France where the very ancient tongues still survive. Basque is spoken by about 100,000 persons, who are naturally proud of a language that is their ex- clusive possession, for it is unlike ev- ery other spoken tongue, and the as- sertion is commonly made that to un- derstand it one must have learned it in the cradle. This peculiar property glves In the mind of the Basque people support to their belief that it was the language of Adam and Eve. The same claim is advanced, though, for Breton. ‘The Romans when they conquered Gaul compared Breton to eroaking of ravens. About a million peoplg speak Breton. Then there are Flemish, still spoken by a comparatively small num ber in northeastern France, Catalan in the Pyrenees-Orientales and Langue- doc and Provencal, whose gradual ex- tinction has been delayed mainly by the efforts of a few literary enthusl- asts. Literary Cotneidence. Resemblance does not always mean plagiarism. There was no plagiarism, certainly, in Newman’s line, “The night Is dark, and I am far from home,” thouch it has been pointed out that it almost exactly reproduces a line in a piay printed in 1599. This play is “Two Angry Women of Abington,” by Henry Porter, and the original line runs, “’'Tis late and dark, and I am far from home.” masy Enough. Lava In the Ocean. This earth received what was proba- bly its greatest shaking in modern times when the tremendous volcanic eruption of Krakatoa, in Sunda strait, occurred in 1883. A curious incident of that time is recalled by a correspond- ent who was a passenger on a steam- ship on the voyage between Colomho and Albany, King George’s sound, some 1,500 or 2,000 miles south of the center of the disturbance. It was a beautifui night, and shortly after dinner, when the deck was crowded with passengers, the lookout shouted, “Breakers ahead!” This was in midocean, with no shoal five or six days’ sail distant. The lava and green slime. Bucketfuls were hauled on deck and strained through cloths. Nearly all night the steamer forged ‘ahead at half speed, with the floating scum grating against her sides, and in the morning, when clear water was reached, the sides of the ship be- low the water line were bare of paint and burnished like steel. The Red Howling Monkey, The red howler (Mycetes seniculus) is a rare monkey of the forests of tropical America. It is an exiremely delicate animal and is chiefly remark- able for the extraordinary noises it makes. The cries it utters comprise al- most any sound from a subdued moan ® an angry roar, and it is hardly con- ceivable that they should proceed from a single animal. This is the animal called red monkey by Waterton in his “Wanderings In South America,” where an admirable description of its weird crles may be read. These sounds are produced in a ‘bony cavity formed by an enlargement of the hyoid, or tongue bone. In appearance the red howler is an elegant little ereature, wll cioihed with hair of a reddish brown color. Like the spider monkeys, it is provided with a long, prebensile tail, the under surface of which is naked toward the tip, but it differs from those monkeys in having well developed thumbs.— Westminster Gazette.
