Perhaps the most important thing done was the passing of a resolution to change the name from the Basiness Mens Club to the Bemidji Commercial Club. It was figured that this would be more in line with names of similar organizations in other cities. The club is taking a deep in- terest in the securing of new in- dustmes for the city, and when [ ton, the matter of the Bousfield|50c.

Firemen’s Running Team Is Com- peting at the Warren Tourna- ment This Week. Crookston, June 27.—Few of the people of Crookston seem to be aware of the fact that the “Non-Expectorating”’ ordinance has been passed by the city coun- ¢il and is now in effect in Crook- ston and hereafter the habit will have to be practiced outside of city limits, if at all, The ordinance as passed is of a very wide range, covering ex- pectorating of every kind what- ever, the throwing of cigar and cigarette stubs, peanut shells and peels of any kind on public sidewalks, public buildings, in city halls and churches; the fine for which ranges from $2.00 to $100.00. Signs will be posted about the city by the street and bridge committee and until they are up the violators of the ordinance will undoubtedly be allowed some grace by the police. The ordinance will nevertheless be enforced just as soon as the signs have been posted. GOVERNMENT TO SUE RAILROADS The Bemidji running team is again competing at a firemen’s tournament, this time at Warren, The annual tournament of the Northern Minnesota firemen is being held there this week, be- ginning today and ending Sat- urday, and the local firemen are confidently expecting to bring back the championship banner this year as they did last year at Blackduck. There is also a cash prize attached of $75. The competing teams include those from this city, Crooiston, East Grand Forks, Blackduck, Warren, Red Lake Falls, Thief River Falls, Argyle and Hallock.

DRAINAGE FUNDS CAUSE A STIR President and Secretary of State League Criticised at Wadena Conyention. Wadena, Mion., June 27.— (Special to the Pioneer)—The question of to just what uses moneys collected for drainage purposes have been put, created some animated discussion at the meeting of the drainage conven- tion in this city yesterday. The treasurer brought the president and the secretary to task for the alleged applying of funds collected for drainage purposes to channels other than those for which they were in- tended. His report was referred to the new executive commitiee. The meeting is proving an enthusiastic one and is being ttended by about seventy-five delegates, The convention was called to ord.r by the president, A. G. Bernard, and after the member- ship question had been disposed of Mr. Bernard gavean address. He told of his work for the last five months, but did not say from what source he had received his money. The call for the secretary’s report brought out considerable discussion and an itemized account was called for. The election of officers was next on the program. Asher Murrary was elected president, but refused absolutely to take the office. C.H. Warner of Aitkin was then selected for the place. The other officers are as follows: First vice president, John Aber- crombie, Alexandria; second vice pres., Welter, Moorhead; treas- urer, H. V. Hva, Duluth; secre- tary, S. Gold, Grand Rapids, HExecutive committee: Second congressional district, S. B. Gales; Third, C. A. Johnson, St. Peter; Fourth, Joseph, Akeley; Fifeh, B. F. Nelron; Sixth, Asker Murrary; Seventh, R.

New York, June 27.—La Zemana, a Spanish weekly news bulletin, pub- lishes a report from Colombia that the Bogotd government has in contem- plation a project for ah interoceanic sea level canal through Darien, a mod- ificatign of the original plan of the Atrato Truando route. According to dhe private advices which bring this Information Colombia has been as- sured of the co-operation of various sister republics of Latin America. The plans for the canal do not pre- sent any new engineering problems. More than half of the total cost, which it is estimated would be about $70,000,000, would be for labor. The laborers will be soldiers of the Colom bian army and contingents of soldiers from the other republics interested in the project, each country to pay its own men as if they were in actual service. This co-operaticn is to be paid for by shares of the stock of the canal and by certain franch'ses. AFTER AN HOUR'S DISCUSSION. Omnibus Public Building Bill Passes the House. ‘Washington, June 27.—The omni- bus .public building bill has been passed by the house, one hour having been constmed in its reading and consideration. After the passage of the omnibus public building bill the house, in com- mittee of the whole, began the con- sideration of the last great supply bills to caery the government on to June 30, 1907—the general deficiency bill. The house has passed the senate bill which repeals the so-called twenty- eight-hour law by fixing the maximum of time in transit for stock at thirty- six hours upon the written request of the owner or person in charge of the particular shipment. The house acceded to the request of the senate for another conference on the railroad rate bill immediately upon the receipt of the senate request. The same conferees were reappointed, Hepburn, Sherman and Richardson. Slaughterfiouses Ordeied Closed. Philadelphia, June 27.—The board of health has directed the owners of thirty-seven slaughterhouses in vari- ous sections of the city to abandon their establishments. There are 171 such places in the city and an inspec- tion showed thirty-seven of them, by reason of .their unsanitary condition, to be nuisances prejudicial to the pub- lic health. Animals In Mohammedan Heaven. According to the Mohammedans, ten animals Lave been admitted to para- dise—the dog Kratim, the follower of the seven sieepers, Balaam’s ass, Solo- mon’s ant, the honeybee, Jonah's whale, the ram which was offered in sacrifice in place of Isaac, the camel of Saleb, the cuckoo of Balkis, the ox of Moses and Al Borak, the monstrosity which conveyed Mohammed from earth to heaven and back again in a very short time. These creatures were all sainted for some special services which they had rendarad to man Portuguese Money, Portuguese money is based on a unit ‘which is worth about the thousandth part of a cent. So if you buy a single postage stamp it costs you about 10,-| 000 milreis. We were shocked at the price of the objects the vendors in Ponto Delgoda desired to sell us. When presented with a bill some of us got heart disease and some of us apo- plexy. Only after long explanations in mingled Spanish, Portuguese, French and English did we learn that a pho- tograph offered at several thousand milreis was worth about 15 cents. In short, it was brought foreibly to our at- tention how extremely artificial a me- dium is money, how difficult it is to get, how difficult it is to keep, but also how difficult it is to exchange this in- terconvertible medium in foreign coun- tries—when you have any. Probably it is' even more difficult when you have not.—Argonaut. Hospitality. ‘While the reportorial representative of a great news bureau was in San Antonio, Tex., whence he had posted In such haste as to have little luggage, he met with a charming bit of southern hospitality. He had no cuffs, and a local reporter promptly drew off his own and said to the guest within the city gates: “Here, take mine. I've more at home.” Later it was learned that the donor of the cuffs worked for the San Antonlo Daily Express, and the superintendent of the news bureau upon hearing of the incident immedi- ately wrote to Frank Grice, owner of the Express, in appreciation of an act peculiarly southern in its frank good fellowship. Here is Mr. Grice’s reply: “If you can send me the name of the member of the Ex staff who of- fered his cuifs to you he will be discharged for not ofi shirt as ‘well.”—Chicaz Sharp, but Not Clever. A Londeon scientist says that life in a metropolis malkes young children sharp, but not clever; that it often destroys their chance of ever being clever, for It hastens the development of the brain unnaturally. It makes them superfi- cial, alert, but not observant; excitable. but without one spark of enthusiasm. They are apt to grow blase, fickle, dis- contented. They see more things than the country bred child, but not such interesting things, and they do not properly see anything, for they have neither the time nor capacity to get at the root of all the bewildering objects that crowd themselves into their little lives. Socinl Limits. You may tell a man that his neck- tie cannot be reckoned among his sue- cesses, you may point out his errors in regard to investments, you may re- proach him for omitting to take ad- vantage of the opportunities he has had for advancement, and he will ac- cept all your criticisms with a reason- able calm, but take gentle exception to the way in which he pronounces a word and the chances are that his next remark is of a heated nature.—London Queen? Toolk All the Responsibility. “I'm going to give up that new spe- clalist I've been trying.” “What's the reason?” “Why, he’s always telling me that T must try to help myseclf.” “What did the other man tell you?” “He always told me he was helping e.”—Cleveland Plain Dealer. Figures That Stagger. It used to be that astronomy, with its stupendous magnitudes, incredible ve- locities and inconceivable distances, seemed to make the greatest demand on man’s belief, says the London Tele- graph. Today it iIs physics. We read, for instance, that Hertz’s oscillations glve rise to 500,000,000 oscillations per second. Where is the man who can conceive of anything happening in the five-hundred-millionth part of a see- ond? But this is quite a long period compared to some of those now accept- ed as inevitable optics. According to Maxwell’s great theory,.a light wave s a series of alternating electric cur- rents flowing in air or interplanetary space and changing their direction 1,000,000,000,000,000 times per second. And this is supposed to be true of ev- ery form of light coming from the sun. the electric lamp or a lucifer match. ‘Who can think of anything happening in the thousand-million-millionth part of a second? Landseer’s Valet. Sir Edwin Landseer, the famous ani- mal painter, had an old servant—his butler, valet and faithful slave— named William, who was particularly assiduous in guarding the outer portal. No one could by any possibility gain direct access to Sir Edwin. The an- swer would invariably be, “Sir Hed- win is not at 'ome.” The prince con- sort himself once received this answer when he called, amplified on that oc- casion by the assurance that “he had gone to a wedding,” an entire fiction on William’s part, as the prince found out, for on walking boldly in and round the garden he noticed Sir Edwin look ing out of his studio window. This was the faithful attendant who one day, when a lion had died at the “zoo™ and his corpse came.up in a four ‘wheeled cab to be painted from, star- tled his master with the question, “Please, Sir Hedwin, did you horder a lion?” Thatched Roofs In England. “The thatched roof, which makes the English cottage picturesque, is doom- ed,” sald an architect. “For some years it has been going graduc Soon it will be altosether a thing the past. Fire insurance is the cauze of the thatched roof’s disappearanco. No company will insure a cottage or its contents if the roof is thatched. They who want insurance must sul- stitute for the roof of thatch a tiled one. As long as the English cottager remains very poor so that his house and furniture are not worth insurinz be keeps a thatched roof over his head. As soon as he begins to prosper and lays in household goods of value he takes out a fire policy and away then goes his thatched roof.” — Louisville Courier-Journal. ———— Athletic Amusement.

Tbackeray could write the Lord's Prayer on a sixpence, which is the size of a dime, but it is now possible to write the prayer on a surface so small that one grain of sand would hide it completely. Microscopists sell copies of the Lerd’s Prayer written in a circle only the five-hundredth part #f an inch in diameter. To read the prayer it is necessary to use a lens magnifying 500 times. Writing so In. credibly small is accomplished by means of levers six feet long. Thes2 levers are so adjusted that the motion is gradually lessened as it travels along them till, when it reaches the delicate end, armed with a minute dia- mond pen that rests on a glass surface, it causes the pen to register on the glass writing so small as to be invisi- ble.—New Orleans Times-Democrat.

I remember many years ago a dlnner nt the palace—a great officlal dinner— where among the guests were many of the old leaders of rebellions, old up- holders of the shogunate. The last shogun himself, Prince Tokugawa, proud, silent, grim, sat opposite to me, and I wondered if any human emotion could show itself on that impassive face. At that moment the emperor raised his glass and bowed in kindly smiling fashion to his anclent oppo- nent. The face changed, was suffused for one illuminating moment with a glow of responsive fire. It seemed as if the emperor was once more thank- ing the shogun for his splendid pa- triotic act when after years of strug- gle he voluntarily laid his power and his prerogatives at the emperor's feet “for the good of the country,” and as if Prince Tokugawa, looking back— and looking forward—for Japan, said to himself once more, “It was well done.” —Mary C. Fraser in World's Work. Don’t Kill the Hawk. Man has sinned more than any other animal in trifling with nature’s bal- ance. Clover crops and the killing of hawks are apparently unrelated, yet the hawks eat the field mice, the flela mice prey on the immature bees, and the bees fertilize the clover blossoms.
