COUNTY FAIR IS LIVE QUESTION May Be Held in Blackduck Under Auspices of Local Association. The Bemidji Commercial club isin favor of aiding Blackduck in every way possible in her con- templated old settlers’ meeting aud fair the last few days of August, and favors the holding of a county fair in that village at the same time, as contemplated by Blackduck, only under the auspices of the organzation com- posed of Bemidji people. At the meeting of the Commer- cial club held last night to confer with the committee from the north country village, L. G. BIG CARNIVAL MAY COME HERE i Commercial Club Considering Getting Big Show to Bemidji in August. Bemidji may have a carnival show, with high-dives, a merry- go-round, a Ferris wheel, several ‘eap-the-gap stunts, street shows and a general good time, during the month of August. The T. F. Cash Carmival cowmpany, one of the best on the road, is anxious to show in this city August 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, and the Commercial club is in communication with the concern. At the meeting of the club last night, it was the unammous vote that if the company had no objec Townsend and Harry Gillham, a tionable features and if an agres- resolution voicing this sentiment | 2Ple contract could be signed, it was voted, with the qualification that holding the fair in Black- should be secured. The matter was brought to the duck was favored if it would not | dttention of the ciub by President jeopardize the rights of the Bel- trami County Fair and Live Stock association, the local or- ganization. The law provides that but one county association shall have membership in the state fair association, and the first associa- tion holding a fair and getting the state appropriation can se- cure this membership and shut out all others. The fear has been expressed that Blackduck would do this and leave the Be- midji association out in the cold. The problem was happily solved last night, however, by the mutually agreeable proposi- tion of holding the fair in Black- duck but under the auspices of the Bemidji association. The only doubtful feature of this plan is the legal question whether the association can hold a fair at Blackduck, get membership in the state association and here- after hold the fairs at Bemidji, and this will be passed upon by Attorneys Torrance and Loud at an early date, Before this can be done it will also be necessary to get the stockholders of the local associa- tion together and take a vote on the proposition. A meeting has been called for Thursday night, | this week. The fear that Blackduck is anxious to get the county fair away from Bemidji was com- pletely set at rest last night :y Mr. Townsend and Mr. Gillham. Mr. Townsend was the spokes- man and he denied emphatically that his village has any designs| on the county show. Blackduck is going to hold an old settlers’ meeting in August, he explained, and since there seemed to be no hopes of Be- midji’s having a fair, his town thought it would include a fair with the giving of premiums, among its other attractions for the three days good time. If Bemidji wanted to go ahead and give a fair, his town would withdraw willingly, the speaker explained, but if Bemidji does not intend to hold a fair, Black- duck does want to. After this year it is willing and anxious for the county seat to hold all the county fairs. It recognizes that this city is the logical place. Read the Daily Pioneer. C. H. Miles. He had had a lengthy conference with a repre- sentative of. the company a few days ago and the agent had re duced his proposition to writing. This statement Mr. Miles read to the assembly. The company includes about seventy people, who will be boarded at the local hotels and restaurants, and it has a long list of attractions, including sev- eral that are highly sensational, like the leaping-the-gap on a bicycle, and several other gap- leaping stunts, the high dive, etc. These will be free. Aside from the attractions for which the public is charged nothing, will be six street shows of high class, to which an admis- sion of from ten to fifteen cents will be charged, and a Ferris wheel and a merry-go-round. The company asks for $5C0 from the club and for the erec- tion of two wooden stands, and in return is willing to give ten per cent of the receipts of the six shows, up to $2,300, the run- ning expenses of the company for a week, after .which from fifteen to twenty per cent will be gwen. This proposition, it was figured, would let the club down | easy in a financial way. Mr. Miles said he had seen this company show in several cities and that it put up one of the best five-day attractions he had ever witnessed. There was some objection to|, the propused date on account of the Dakota harvest, which draws many Beltrami farmers, coming!. about that time, but it was the majority sentiment that the car- nival would draw large crowds, notwithstanding, from the coun- try and from neighboring vil- lages, and that it would be an ex- cellent thing for the city. Mr. Miles has written to the company to settle a few doubtful questions and the proposition will come up again for final dis- position, Boy Broke Arm. The 9-year-old son of D. Mec- Kenzie of Guthrie was brought to the city last evening with a broken arm. The little fellow was riding horseback and in some way fell The arm has been set and in a few days will be well enough that he may re- turn home. SIMPLY ATE UP THE JACKSONS Bemidii Ball Team Has No Trouble in Making the Score 11 to 1. The Bemidji team easily de- feated the Jacksons last night in an eight-mning game, by a score of 11 to 1, The visitors’ pitchers were easy. In'the first inning Hazen led off with a single and Sum- mers followed with a home-run hit over the left field fence, the first home-run to be made on the new grounds. After that everyone hit the ball and the visitors became discour- aged and played listlessly. Hazen, Summers and Lee Le- Gore pitched for Bemidji and “Dad” Lewis, Summers, and Riddell alternated behind the bat. Walters pitched for the Jack- sons and Robinson caught. Williamson, who pitched for the St. Paul team Sunday, will be in the box again this afternoon and a closer score is looked for. NEW LATH MILLS FOR TWO TOWNS J. J.

EXTENSIVE REPAIRE NECESSARY. President Will Not Return to White House Until Fall. ‘Washington, July 3.—Since the ad- journment of congress it has devel oped that extensive repairs will have to be made to the White House before President Roosevelt and his family return to it next autumn. While no definite determination of the matter has been reached it may be that the president will not return to Washing- ton until late next October instead of arriving here from Oyster Bay about Oct. 1 as usual. Congress was asked, at its recent session, to make a considerable appro- priation for “extraordinary repairs” at the White ' House. *Some reluctance was manifested by copgress in mak- ing the appropriation, but a sum of $35,000 finally was authorized to be expended. Practically the whole of this amount will have to be used in making the repairs necassary. SPEAKER HOWLED DOWN, Violent Scene in Lower House of Rus- sian- Parliament. St. Petersburg, July 3.—The after- mnoon sitting of the lower house of parliament, which was devoted to the discussion of the law providing for the abolition of the death penalty, broke up in utter disorder when General Pavloff, the military procurator, at- tempted to address the house .in ‘be- half of War Minister Rudiger. His appearance’'in the tribune was the sig- nal for an outburst of cries of “mur- derer,” “assassin,” “organizer of Jew- ish massacres,” etc., from the mem- bers of the group of toil, in which the entire left joined. The members of the house pounded their desks, shout- ed, whistled and resorted to every violent means of showing their dis- pleasure. General Pavloft, after listen- ing to the storm for several minutes, turned to President Mouromtseft, bowed, half smiling, signified his ac- ceptance of the situation and left the tribune. M. Mouromtsef:, who ap- peared to be thoroughly angered at the demonstration, endeavored to quell it with his voice and the violent ringing of the bell used in calling the house to order, but he abandoned his |’ fruitless task and left the chair, signi- fying that the session was adjourned. Drinking of Healths, The drinking of healths in wine or liquor or other kinds originated in Brit- ain at the time of the rule of the Danes, before Alfred the Great finally suceeeded in driving them from the land. Owing to the assassination of Englishmen by the Danes, it became a custom to enter into compacts for the mutual preservation of health and se- curity. These compacts were usually pledged in wine, and hence the custom of drinking bealths. A Spelling Test. The catch question has often been asked, “How many words in the Eng- Mlish language end in dous?”. The com: mon answer is four—hazardous, jeopar- dous, tremendous and stupendous. As a matter of fact, however, there are five, and the word often overlooked is hybridous, meaning mongrel or of mixed sort. A Clerical Pun. A complaint was brought before an eminent English bishop that a clergy- | : man in his diocese was wearing an Oxford master’s hood when, In fact, he had no such degree. “1 call it, my lord,” said the complainant, “wearing a lie on his back.” “We need not us" quite so strong a word, Mr. Smith, the bishop replied In his blandest man- ner. “Call it a false hood.” The Age of Fishes, The age of fishes iy seldom measured by a definite period of years. Most of them grow as long as they live, and apparently live until they fall vietims to some stronger species. It is reput- ed that carp and pike have lived for a century, but the evidence needs veri- feation. In the Dark. Parks—How did the ship come to bang agalnst the rocks?
