White) The Bemidji Bible Conference _will meet in our city July 24-29, The program will furnish one with a rare treat in the way- of intelligence and strength, Our program last year was excellent, “but the Committee have spared no pains to make this program the best of its kind that has ever “been presented to the public in northern Minn. Among those who will address the Conference are, Dr. J. R. Pratt, Albany; Dr. G. N. Luccock, Dr. A. C. Zenos, Chicago; J. B. ‘Clapp, Fargo; Dr. A, C. McKin- non, Winnipeg; Captain A. R. O’Brien, Cedar Rapids, and many others. The attendance this year will reach the hundreds, already re- ports are coming in in far greater numbers than ever before. The town will be taxed for accom- modations for the delegates, there will not be room in the lodging houses, and the com- mittee will have persons canvass the town this week to learn of rooms, that may be given or rented for that time, in which the delagates may lodge, This will not necessarily obligate any to provide breakfast, but the room will be needed. We trust the citizens who are anxious to see our city become the rendevoux for summer visitors, will lend the help they can. Any who have tents, and can put them up and have a bed in them will render a great benefit, Please send all information conceruing rooms or tents to the undersigned. Rev. 8. E. P. White, City. Wm. Lennon, the mayor of Kelliher, is in the city today. Mr, Lennon states that, outside ot Bemidji, Kelliher is the livest town in the country. He talks of electric lights and waterworks for Kelliher, but most needs come to Bemidji to get ideas of real metropolitan life, GAME IS NEARLY SPOILED BY ROW Cloquet Kicks on Decision and Starts to Leave Grounds— Bemidji Wins. The fast Cloquet team went down to defeat before the Be- midji ash wielders Sunday after- noon in one of the most stubborn- ly-contested games of ball ever seen in this city. Thescore was 8to 5 in favor of Bemidji, and the home players earned their victory by better all-around play than the visitors. Lee LeGore was on the firing line for Bemidji, with Holstein behind the bat. Lee pitched a fine game, siriking out twelve Cloquets, and allowing but a few scattering bingles, He was backed up by fast work in the field, although there were several misplays that counted in the run-getting. Gillmore, the new third bas man from Durand, Wis., was at the third corner, and did very well. Heisa clean fielder and a sure, swift thrower. At the bat, he uses his head, and looks all right. POLICE CLOSE UP BIG STORE Marshall Field & Co. in -Trouble With Chicago Building Department. Chicago, July 9.—The large retail dry goods store of Marshall Field & Co. was ordered closed today by the building department of the city because of a delay in constructing certain stairways required by the city officials, Policemen were stationed at the doors with instructions to deny admission to all customers. After remaining closed for three hours the store was allowed to re-open upon a promise to make the change ordered. Drawing the Crowds. Dr. Griese and his “Swiss Entertainers” have bheen play- ing to good houses the last few days in the big tent near the Pio- neer office. The company this year is an evenly-balanced one, and better than last year. The FISH’S STOMACH Crookston Woman Makes a Grue- some Find While Cleaning « a Bullhead. Orookston, July 9. — While cleaning a fish at her home near the dam of the Crookston Water Power and Light company yes- terday, Mrs. Henry Bushe dis- covered a baby’s hand in the in- terior of the fish which had un- doubtedly been thrown into the river, from the general appear- ance of things. The fish had been caught the evening before by Mr. Bushe be- low the dam. The find nearly sent Mrs. Bushe into hyéterics for the police to make an investi- gation, SOLUTION OF TRUST QUESTION. Most Successful. New York, July ..—Sir Joseph G. band has an instrumentation of eleven pieces led by Jesse Mix, and they are first-class, Miss Juno Barrett is a leading lady, and she plays her parts very ac- The Cloquets were confident of victory and wanted it under- stood that they considered them- selves as good as Hibbing, and able to duplicate the defeat which the range team handed Bemidji a few weeks ago. How- ever, they reckoned without their host. They put on the slab, Sheehy, their star Indian pitcher. He was touched pretty lively, and big Mike Houle, who played first base and pitched for the Superior Northern League team two years ago, was put in to throw ’‘em over, Mike held the score down better than Sheehy, but Bemidji kept getting an occasional score, until, at the end of the eighth inning, they had accumulated 8. Cloquet had but three, and when Cloquet came to bat in its half of the ninth, LeGore, with the game safe, allowed Sheehy toreach first base. With two strikes on the next man up, Le Gore threw an easy one and the batter put it over the fence for a home run, bringing in Sheehy ahead of him. LeGore tightened up after this and the side was speedily retired, with the score 8t0 5 in favor of Bemidji. ‘The visitors kicked incessantly all through the game, and at one time started to leave the grounds, claiming that they were getting the worst of the decisions from bis “umps.” The decision was strictly according to the agree- ment made by the captains be- fore play was called, but, in order that the crowd might see the game finished, the decision was changed to suit the men from the lumber town. Cloquet could not take defeat with good grace, as they have won from about every team of note in the north half of the state, and it is presumed that they had some “coin of the realm” wagered on the result. One of the features of the game was a running catch, in center field, by Farley LeGore. The Bemidji team, as it played here yesterday, is a strong organization, and it is believed could give some of the Northern League clubs a “run for the money.” Launch Owners Attéation. All owners of launches are re- quested to meet at the city dock with their boats tomorrow (Tues- day) at noon to have their picture taken. R. W. Reed will be the camera artist. The picture is being taken for the Commercial club and will be used for advertising the city.

About 250 rarticipated in the ride around the lake. The Cass Lake band ac- companied the excursion and there was dancing and a general good time, ceptably. Robert Skinski does the ‘“heavies,” and has pleased everyone by his good work. McIntosh is the comedian, and as an actor and baritone singer bas few equals. Art Hall does a very lively and skillful buck and wing dance, and the two Nix boys are putting on some clever specialties. J. T. Lovely and wife and their two daughters joined the show here. Mr. Lovely is doing some fine special turns, and the acrobatic verformance given by little Hortence, who is but four 4 years old, is wonder- ful. Mr. and Mrs, Frank Shermon also joined here and arein the cast. ‘Diamond Dick” is the bill for tonight. J. M. Griese, owner of the show, is pop- ular with everyone in this partof the state, and his popularity is the result cf square dealing and good entertainments. Anton Zilbert, a prominent farmer living near Farley, was in the city today, Charles Fleischman, who owns a nice farm near Farley, was a visitor in Bemidji today. 0. C. Sammons, a bartender at the Mc Taggart saloon, left Sun- day evening for his home at Ash- land, Wis., where he will remain for several days. TRAGIC END FOR “PADDY” LYNCH Continued from page 1 column 7 kindly disposition, good-hearted and a steady man while working. Several of the residents of Farley have been endeavoring to locate some of his relatives, but without success, and so far as is known, he had no kin in this part of the country.

An Ancient Dog Story. A delightful doz story has been ex- bumed from the misty past and is now preserved in the records of an. old court at Southampton, England. It dates from 1587 and must be told in the quaint terminology of the period: “Item we present yt at the tyme of our sytting ther hath ben complaynt made Ward, premier of New Zealand, who with his wife and daughter, is on his way home from Europe, was asked in the course of an extended interview what action would be taken in New Zealand if an ice company increased the price of the commodity to con- sumers to obtain more than a reason- able profit. He said: “The solution of that problem is simple. It any man or company should buy up all the ice plants, con- trol the supply of ice on hand and then push up the price to consumers we would immediately build ice plants and give the people all the ice they wanted at a smail price and a fair profit. We had a similar condition arise at home in the coal industry and we put it down quickly.” Baid to Have Embarked on Liner at Dover, Eng.

St. Petersburg, July ~—The Rech, discussing the efforts made in the British house of commons to induce the government of Creat Britain not to send a fleet to Cronstadt, says: “Whether the fleet comes or does not come the sympathy of England and the English with the struggle of the Russian Democracy for constitu- tional institutions is already proved.

St. Petersburg, July —Dispatches received here from Samera state that two regiments garrisoning that im- portant provincial capital have mu- tinied and presented a series of polit- ical and service demands. The oficers promised to satisfy the service demands if the mutineers would return to duty, but the men re- plied that they would be satisfied only with compliance with all of their de- mands. The mutineers command the situa- tion, but are not indulging in excesses. The situation is complicated by the fact that in Samara the revolutionists are pushing a movement to proclaim a republic in case a general strike is declared and they may seize the pres: ent opportunity to further their aims.

GASOLINE TANK EXPLODES. Three Persons Killed and Eight In- Jured at Saginaw, Mich. Saginaw, Mich., July ~ —Three per- sons were killed and eight injured, three of them seriously, by the explo- sion of a large gasoline tank on the second floor of the bollerhouse of the Cosendal dye works on North Jeffer son avenue. The dead are E. A. Foehl Louis Cosendal and George Sigelko. Foehl’s body was found near the edge of the huge pile of wreckage, literally oooked. The explosion wrecked all of the glass in buildings in the bleck in which the dye works were situated. The total loss from the explosion is estimated at $30,000. Although Foehl's body was found without difficulty it took the rescuers two hours to extricate the burned re- mains of Cosendai and Sigelko. The latter was so badly burned that his body could only- be identified by the teeth. Francis Gutke, one of the in- jured, says that the tank which ex- ploded had just been filled with nearly 200 gallons of gasoline, WIRETAPPERS SUCCESSFUL. Clean Up Snug Sum by Sending in False Winners. New York, July ~ —For the first time in several years real wiretappers were successful in defranding wvool- rooms in many parts of the country. The wire leading into the racetrack at ‘Windsor, Ont., was tapped, the correct information withheld and false win ners were sent to New York, which is a betting distributing point. It is estimated that from $60,000 to $100,000 was won con the second race by agents of the tappers. A great deal of this money was sent back on a horse in the third race. After the re- sult had been flashed to New York suspiciens were aroused here and the fictitious race result was held back until the fraud was laid bare. Some- thing like $10,000 was won by the swindlers in New York on the second race and how much of this went bacl on the third race is not known, al- though it is likely that a considerable part of this amount was wagered.
