Saturday forenoon Helmer Peterson met with an accident which may cost him both feet and nearly cost him his life, As the Itasca Logging Com- pany’s train was pulling through Deer River it was supposed to stop at the Great Northern cross- ing, and fearing to be carried by, Peterson jumped. He missed his footing and fell under the moving train, both feet being badly mashed. The right foot is crushed across the instep and ankle, several small bones being so in- jured that they had to be cut away. The left instep is also hurt and a part of the heel cut off. Peterson is also injured in the side and back. He was brought to Bemidji on the after- noon train and is now lying in the hospital. The young man is about 22 years of age and is a brother of Mrs, Nels Layon and Gust Peterson. BAUDETTE HAS MUCH AT STAKE Legality of Incorporation of Vil- lage to Be Decided in Distriet Court. Thomas Cathcart has brought a legal suit which will bring into ‘court the question of the legality of the incorporation of the vil- lage of Baudette. The papers have already been served and the case will come up before Judge MecClenahan, at Brainerd, on July 16, Attorney Kane of International Falls has the plaintifi’s case amd C. R. Middleton of Baudette will look after the defense. Upside Down. “8o you don’t believe in college edu- cation?” “No, sir.

Folkers, Accused of Tres- passing on State Park With Gun, Exonerated. The case of the state vs. C. C. Folkers, which has been hanging fire in the district court of Hub- bard county forthe past two years, has been finally disposed of at Park Rapids by a jury. It took the twelve men just nine minutes to bring in a verdict of acquittal. It will be remembered that Folkers had a claim near the government park and in going to his land he lost the line and was caught on the park lands with firearms. In his testimony for the state, Theodore Wegman, the warden who made the arrest, stated he met Folkers on the park and that Folkers asked him to show him the road. Folkers also asked him how far it was to the state park line. Healso testified that the defendant was wrapped up in furs and uot in a very gond condition to use a gun. The case was ably defended by C. W. Scrutchin of this city. The Hubbard county attorney forced the case to trial and the defense being without witnesses, the theory of defense was to show that the complaining wit- ness was in the wrong and that the defendant at the time was acting in good faith, was travel- ing along as a peaceful citizen and was not conscious that he Wwas even on state lands. So well was the case conducted thatno doubt was raised inthe jurors minds as to the justice of a thorough exoneration of the de- fendans. The case has cost Mr. Folkers several hundred dollars, because of the length of time it has been in court. To the Public. Be sure and go to the park for your hot dinner circus day. All you want to eat for 25 cents. A musements .... The celebrated comedian, John Thompson, who has appeared in every state, every territory, every city, and in almost every town in the United States, will appear at the Opera House, Mon- day, June 25 in his famous vaudeviile entertainment, en- titled “The Funny Fellows of New York,” Mr. Thompson is the only actor in the whole world that gives an entire vaudeville enter- tainment entirely alone. If you have never seen John Thompson’s performance you have never seen such a theatrical feat, and you are not likely to witness anything of such a character until another such actor as John Thompson makes his appearance’ He represents ten characters— a whole troupe—and sings six- teen songs written especially for this entertainment, he tells the audience about 250 jokes and stories; he is. even his own orchestraand plays solos on the piano, violin, -clarinet, banjo, Chinese fiddle, ete. Some of the funniest dancing that was ‘ever seen is introduced. Some parts of the entertain- ment are so comical that the audience have to roar with laughter, and it is often the case, that when they are all roaring together the noise is so loud that it can be heard outside of the theater for a quarter of a mile. The show is highly entertain- ing, intensely humorous, and very instructive. Almost any- one of ordinary intelligence can take a part in a play, but John Thompson is the only actor ever known who has accomplished the unheardof undertaking of giving a successful vaudeville entertain- ment absolutely alone. This is an entertainment that probably you will never have another chance to see. Admis- sion 25, 35 and 50 cents. 3 Two of n Kind.

Record. CIRCUS COMES - TO TOWN SOON Campbell Brothers Big Show Will Appear in Bemidji Next Thursday. The great Campbell Brothers consolidated shows, which will exhibit in Bemidji Thursday, June 28, has been enlarged on such a scale of liberality as to make it next to impossible to depict its real magnitude.

People sometimes think how delight- ful it would be to be quite free. But u fish, as Ruskin says, is freer than a man, and, as for a fly, it Is “a black incarnation of freedom.” A life of so called pleasure and self indulgence is not a life of real happiness or true freedom, Far from it. If we once be- gin to give way to ourselves we fall under a most intolerable tyranny. Oth- er temptations are in some respects like that of drink. At fivst, perbhaps, it seems delighiful, but there Is bitter ness at the bottom of the cup. Mea drink to satisfy the desire created by previous indulgence. So it is in other things. Repetition soon becomes a eraving, not a pleasure. Resistance grows mere and more painful. leld: Ing, which at first, perhaps, afforded some slight and temporary gratifica- tion, soon ceases to give pleasure and. even if for a time It procures relief, ere long becomes odious itself. © Gentle Warning.

GAME CLINCHED THEN IS LOST Bemidji Beatby Hibbing in Most Exciting Ball Contest of Season. \.“Of all sad words of tongue or per the saddest are these, it might have been.” And this tells the story of the game yes- terday with Hibbing. For seven long innings the locals held them without a run, and then came that eighth that will long be re- membered. Five errors, coupled with two hits, brought in seven runs, and the game which we had |’ sewed up, up to this time went glimmering. It was a beautiful game to wateh. The locals had made two scores and it looked to be plenty. The much-touted sluggers from Hibbing were swinging their beads off trying to- connect with the curves LeGore was dishing out to them. They had only made two hits, both very scratchy, and everything was happy as a marriage bell. The going to pieces of the boys can be explained by the fact that they have had no practice, and the strain of along, hard contest told on them, and they all went up together. But such excuses cannot be offered from now on, as the new ball park is ready for business, and a great deal of time should be spent there in work outs each day. The new. park was crowded, about 1,000 people being present, and the advantage (f having it down town was apparent. Mayor Carter threw the first ball, and although a little wild his delivery met withtheheartyapprovalofthe crowd, who cheered long and loudly. Hibbing had the same fast team -as last year, and the re- doubtable Red Morton of the Duluth team pitched., Although he threw a clever game he was outpitched by LeGore, the hits being four to three in favor of the Duluth man; but LeGore struck out thirteen to his six, Hibbing made five errors and Bemidji seven. The fast Pickets of St. Paul will be here for four games July 1,2, 8, and 4, and the fans will have a chance to see some more great baseball. BEMIDJI HANDS DEFEAT To0 BLACKDUCK TEAM The Bemidji team played Blackduck at Cass Lake Friday, defeating them in a fine exhibi- tion. Farley LeGore was in the box for the locals and pitched a beautiful game, fanning ten men and allowing but three hits, no two of which came in the same inning. Sipps of Blackduck also pitched good ball, fanning eleven men and allowing but seven hits. The locals played without an error and only two Blackduck players got as far as second base. CARELESS WITH GUN; IS SHOT Fosston Boy Pulls Shotgun To- ward Him Muzzle First With Usual Results. Crookston, June 25.—Shot through the body with a charge of small shot, from under the right arm to the right side of the chest, Carl Heide dropped dead on the shore of Whitefish lake, a few miles east of Fosston as he was preparing to return home from a day’s fishing excursion. Heide, who was formerly en- gaged in a restaurant at Fosston but recently an employee of the Fosston Woolen Mills, met in- stant death in a peculiar way. At the landing he caught hold of the muzzle of a gun to pull it out of the boat when the trigger, presumably left cocked, struck a projection in the bottom of the boat and the entire charge went through the unfortunate boy’s body lodging near the left side. Heide was 16 years old. Letter files and letter presses at the Pioneer office. English Rallway Signals. An observant traveler on Hnglish railways could tell you at once the railway upon which he is traveling by merely looking at the first signal he passes. It may surprise many to know that there are hardly two styles quite alike in this country in station archi- tecture and fittings, color of rolling stock, design and color of the locomo- tives, uniforms of the servants, style of the signal cabins and signal appli- ances and many other details.—London Mail. ‘Adder Stones. The singular supsrstition of the value of adder stones for curing a variety of ills has continued in many countries from the time of the Romans. These celebrated charms are nothing more than antique green or blue glass striped in various design§ and perforated. The | virtues of these stones are sung in the poems of the ancient Druids and are mentioned by Pliny and other classical writers, Ability to See Everything. A New York surgeon, says the In- ternational Journal of Surgery, occa- sionally takes an applichnt for a post tion on the house staff of the hospital | with which he is connected and bids ; him look out of a window and describe what he sees. Some men practically see nothing at all; others notice but a few things, not always the most im- | portant, while the balance appear to : observe everything. It is from among ; the latter that the successful candi- date is commonly chosen. It is to the - men who see everything that every art and science is indebted for whatever progress they have made, and the sur- geon’s method of gauging the probable value of a young man’s service has nothing In it that is trivial and unim- portant. 3 Har Claims to Patronage, When Mrs. Lombard offered to rec. ommend Miss Simpson to her friends as a dressmaker she was honest in her wish to help the little woman, but her efforts bore more evidence of honestyl than of tact. “I wish you would try Dora Simp- son,” she said earnestly to three of her friends who were calling upon her one day. “She’s such a good little body and so unfortunate! Her old customers have dropped off one by one till there’s scarcely a person in the neighborhood ‘who employs her now. “As I often say to my husband,” con- tinued Mrs. Lombard, with haste, as she saw signs of inquiry on the faces of her friends, “suppose she doesn’t fit very well. That doesn’t alter the fact that she has an invalid brother to sup port and that she tried everything else, from stenography to cooking, and only took up sewing as a last resort and just hates every stitch she takes and always has. Now, do try her, some of you. She’s been with me for the last four days making a jacket for my Jira. Dora is just as patient about it as can be, though we've had it all to pieces three times.”—Youth’s Companion. Agreed With Her. After an all night session with the boys a husband wended his way home; arriving there at about 5 a. m. He found his wife waiting for him in the dining room, the confusion of furnitare indicating that she had been having an unhappy time. “This is a nice time for you to be coming home,” snapped the wife. “Yes,” admitted the erring husband. “It's a lovely morning.” “I baven't slept a wink this blessed night,” with a severe look. “Neither have 1,” said the husband. A Canadian Paradise. Temagami is shaped like an octopus, with long stretched out arms, and its shores are indented with deep circling bays, island strewu and culminating in sharp points and curves add to the beauty of this magical scene. “The lake of deep waters” is the meaning of ‘the Indian word, and they lie very deep and cool in their bed of granite, in stillness a perfect mirror, in storm darkly menacing, with foam edged waves showing fanglike teeth. Being a hundred square miles in area, Tema- gami forms one of Canada’s great nat- ural reservoirs. Mighty rivers from the height of land to the north flow into it, and it in turn feeds the streams that flow southward, carrying thelr life giving waters through the forests to the peopled lands below. There are 1,400 islands in the lake, and the gov- ernment has included the whole area in a magnificent forest reserve of a million and a half acres.—Kate West- lake Yeigh in Four Track News. The Fashionable Dinner. Eilght men exclusive of the butler are required to serve a dinner of twenty- four covers, one being allowed for ev- ery three diners. Another is stationed in lie pantry to “run in” the courses. Absolute order and silence reign among these men, who perfectly under- stand the Dutler’s cabalistic signs. Electric signals pass coustantly be- tween chef and butler. From the seat- Ing of guests until the ladies leave not more than eighty-five minutes should elapse, for long dinners are considered bad form. TUpon these occasions scarcely a member of the domestic i corps escapes some special duty. The ! housemalds assist the pantry maid. After each course twenty-four silver plates and countless small silver must be carefully cleansed, wiped very dry and then polished with chamois before being put away. Nearly 200 pleces of engraved crystal ware must be washed and polished, and it Is too costly and brittle to be hastily handled.-Every- body’s Magazine. Eilghteenth Century Life. These brief extracts from the letters of Elizabeth Montagu, the “queen of the bluestockings,” throws a curious light on eighteenth century life in Eng- land, She was suffering from a swell- ed lip. Promptly the great Dr. Mead prescribed a blister to her back. She writes: “I am better than I was; but, my mouth not being yet perfectly re- duced, I have got a fresh blister upon my back. Well may it bend with such a weight of calamities. I have sent for my bathing cloathes and on Sunday night shall take a souze. I think it a pleasant remedy.” Apparently in 1741 o lady could not take a bath even on Sunday night and in the privacy of ber chamber without her “bathing tloathes.” Mrs. Montagu writes azain- “My lip Is not entirely reduced, though I have been blistered twice, once blood- ed, and have five times taken physic have lived upon chicken and white meats and drank nothing but water. I have suffered great disappointment about the warm bath which I am ad- vised to try, for the bathing tubs are 80 out of order that we have not yet been able to make them hold water.” Cinderelln of (e Canary ISIanas. Hierros can hardly be called, al-| though nominally entitled, one of the “fortunate Isles.”” Tt is the Cinderella of the Canary group, and in its south- westerly isolation may be said to live on fog. But for the mists that drench Its shores the little island would die of thirst, and no vegetables could be sent to market. Its western promontory, Debas, once enjoyed celebrity as tte spot through which was drawn the first universal marvidian A Wonderful Grasshopper. The number of astonishing and often absurd blunders perpetrated by trans- lators is without limit.” The first man to translate Cooper’s novel “The Spy” into French made numerous errors, among which are these: When the translator came to the word “Locusts,” which was the name of the Whartons' residence In the story, he turned to his dlctionary and found the rendering of ‘the word to be “Les Sauterelles” (the grasshoppers). He was a trifle puz- vled later when he came to the passage in which a dragoon was represented as tylng his horse to one of the locasts on the lawn. He had never been in Amer- lca; but, taking it for granted that the grasshoppers of that country must be of tremendous size, he solemnly in- formed his readers that the trooper fastened his horse by the bridle to a grasshopper which was standing near the door of the house. P e p i S st Marriage and Health. Murriage is an institution highly con- 1 ducive to the health of both husband and wife, says American Medicine | Statistics prove that among married men over twenty years of age and wo- men over forty the mortality rate is far less than among those who remain single. Among the widowed and di- vorced the mortality is exceptionally great. Suicides among the unmarried are much more numerous than among the married. The matrimonial state promotes temperance in every form. Furthermore, the probable duration of life of a married man of thirty exceeds that of his unmarried brother by five years, and the wife may expect to live one year louger than a single woman of the same age. Capsicum. The eapsicum plant, from which the different varieties of pepper are pro- duced, Is indigenous to the tropical re gions of Europe, Asia, Africa and America. It grows wild almost as well as under cultivation in all these countries, and in each is used by the natives as a seasoning for food. Its extensive employment has suggested to medical theorists the thought that it must be considered as a natural tonle for the stomach in tropical countries. Mermaids. All the world over there are legends about mermaids. The Chinese tell !stofles not unlike others about the sea woman of their southern seas. Man- 1 kind is taught on the most excellent | evidence that a mermaid was captured at Bangor, on the shores of the Bel- fast lough, in the sixth century, while i another caught at Rdam in 1403 was carried to Haarlem andl kept there for i many years. Herodotus makes Solon tell Croesus i of several men happier than he. Two brothers, Cleobis and Biton of Argos, he said, when oxen were lacking to draw their mother, the priestess of Hera, to the temple several miles dis- tant, harnessed themselves to the cart. i When the mother, proud of her sons and moved by the plaudits of the crowd, had prayed to Hera that her | sons might receive the best gifts the | gods had to bestow, they lay down in the shade of the temple and never | waked. Herodotus says that thelr statues were sent to Delphl. Homolle found at Delphl! two statues practically Identical, of finest archaic work, made early in the sixth ceatury B. C. Since one of them bore the signature of an Argive sculptor, Polymedes, in archale letters, we may believe that the story of Herodotus is based on fact and that we have before us today the identical ! etatues.—Chautauquan.
