+ PENDERGAST FOR SECOND PLACE Local Man Is Being Urged as Governor Johnson’s Run- ning Mate. LEADERS LOOK TO NORTHERN MINNESOTA FOR CANDIDATE Many Pleasing Assurances of Support Have Been Received From Many Quarters. Bemidji may be the home of Governor Johnson’s running mate this fall. Judge L. G. Pen- dergast of this city is being strongly mentioned for the nom ination and from present indica- tions it does not seem at all un- likely that the honor of filling second place on the democratic ticket will fall on the local man. “I am not seeking the office,” declared Mr. Pendergast to the Pioneer today, ‘‘but there has been some talk of my running for lieutenant governor by my friends, and if the honor were offered me, naturally, I would not decline it.” What lends particular strength to the candidacy of Judge Pen- dergast is the fact that Cole, re- publican nominee for governor, is from Walker, while Johnson’s home is in St. Peter. What the democratic ticket needs to give strength is a candidate for lieu tenant governor hailing from northern Minnesota. The democratic leaders are beginning to realize this and are casting their eyes inthe direc- tion of the north country for available timber. Tt was this move that gave rise to the boom for Mr. Pendergast. Judge Pendergast is essential- ly a northern Minnesota man. Heis a pioneer in this part of the country, having lived here from the time when the first development of northern lands began. All his property inter- ests are in the northern part of the state. But the men who are urging the local man for the nomination point out that he would be more than a northern Minnesota can- didate, if nominated, although he would fill that part of the pro- gram well. Judge Pendergast has lived in Minnesota for over fifty years, and so is one of the pioneers of the state itself. When the War of the Rebellion broke out the judge was one of the first to answer thecall, and fought through the wkole war with the famous First Minnesota. Logging Train Derailed. This morning the M. & I. pass- enger was delayed for four hours on account of a logging train running off of the track about three miles north of Blackduck near the Thief River siding. The cause of the wreck was the spreading of rails, and four cars loaded with logs left the track. No one was hurt. Letter files and letter presses at the Pioneer office. DASSEL, MINN., Sept. 9, 1905.

FRENCH . & Company Bemidji, - Minn, SEWER IS YOTED BY THE COUNCIL Portion of Minnesota and Bel- trami Avenues Included in Plans. The city sewer will be com- structed on more streets and avenues than was originally in- tended. The first idea was te run the system at first merely on Third and Second streets to the river, taking in as much of Beltrami avenue as was necessary to make the connections, merely. Under the present plans, however, Bel- trami and Minnesota avenue business men are to have sewer connections also. When 1t came to figuring up the cost of construction Surveyor Stoner found that the extra pipe could be laid without spending more than the original $7,000 in- tended, so the additional streets were included in the plans, The sewer as now contemp- lated by a resolution passed last night by the city council will be built on the following streets and avenues: On Third street from America avenue to the center of Beltrami, and from Be-: midji to the center of Beltrami to connect with the above. On Beltrami from Fifth street to Second street. On Minnesota from the center of Fourth street to Third street, and from the ally running east and west through blocks seventeen and sixteen to the center of Second street. On Second street from the center of Minnesota to the center of Bemidji and on Be- midji as nearly as may be pos- sible and expedient from the center of Second street to the river. A lively discussion arose ever the assessing of the sewer to the abutting property, and on the suggestion of President G Huld, the council voted to assess each lot tor a twelve-inch pipe. Eight-inch pipe will be laid in front of some of the lots and fifteen-inch pipe in front of others, and to equalize the burden, a standard charge was needed. The council also discussed at length last night the problem connected with the forcing of Clavin & Tanner to rebuild of brick the building occupied by the Berman Emporium before the fire. Nothing was done last night, although there was a world of talk, and in the mean- time the building is being re. built of wood as fast as car- penters can wield hammers. An ordinance provides that in case a building is damaged by fire fifty per cent or more it shall not be rebuilt within the fire limits of other material than brick, stone or iron, Andit pro- vides that where insurance is carried, the insurance adjust- ment shall be considered mn de- ciding what per cent is damaged. If there is no insurance, then the council is to appoint a car- penter, the owners of the build- ing one, and the two are to select a third, the three to determine the amount of the damage. In the Clavin & Tanner case there was insurance but it was so small that it is impossible to determine the damage from the adjustment, so two weeks ago a committee of three was ap- pointed by the council to investi- gate the loss. After the com- mittee had done its work and re- ported a loss of over fifty per cent, it was discovered that the ordinance called for a committee of carpenters as previously mentioned. The same committee was then appointed to name a carpenter and see that the owners named one, and that a report was made. It was to bave reported at the meeting last night, but the chair- man declared the committee did not understand that the or- dinance required the committee of carpenters and said it had done nothing in the matter, It called upon the city attorney to apply for an injunction. City Attorney Russell answered that he was ready and anxious to take the matter into court just as soon as the council had complied with the ordinance, but that he would be making a laughing stock of himself if he asked for an injunction until the ELECTRIC PLANT FOR KELLIHER Up-to-date Lights to Be Installed Before Winter in Neigh- boring Village. Kelliher, July 10.—County Sur- veyor M. D. Stoner of Bemidji and J. A, Jewett, owner of the Blackduck electric light system, were here Monday conferring with the council in regard to the installing of the waterworks and electric light systems. Mr. Stoner has been engaged by the council to get figures re- garding the cost of the water- works, and Mr, Jewett will install the electric light plart, theap- proximate cost to be $2,000. Mr. Stoner 1s now in the twin cities getting the cost of materials, ete. It is probable that both plants will be installed before the freeze- up next fall. PAPERS SIGNED FOR CARNIVAL Continued from page 1 column 7 during the five days the show will be in town. The use of the streets is necessary, for most of the attrac- tions will be placed on corners or in the middle of the streets, al- though a few of the larger ones will have to be located on lots. Thelist includes some acts and shows of great interest and were mentioned in the Pioneer last week. Among the most notable of the free events are the high dive from a 100-foot tower into a net; the cage of death, where a man rides a bicycle on a perpen- dicular track, a slant straight up and down, ninety degrees; a bicycle leap the gap, the gap be- ing fifty feet long, revolving lad- ders, after the style of those seen in acircus, etc. These acts are all free, Be- sides these there will be a num- ber of shows in tents to which an admission of from ten to fifteen cents will be charged. One of the most enjoyable features of the carnival will be the confetta battles. Old and young join in this sport with zest and it puts everyone in good humor and makes all forget their dignity. The carnival comes to Bemidji direct from Thief River Falls, and after leaving here shows in Cloquet, ' INVESTIGATING OIL CASES. Federal Grand Jury at Cleveland Hearing Evidence. Cleveland, July 10.—The United States grand jury of this federal dis- trict has begun the investigation of violations of interstate commerce and anti-rebate laws alleged to have been committed by various prominent rail- voads and the Standard Oil company. A dozen or more witnesses, more or less prominent in the railroad and oil business, were present in response to Bubpoenaes served upon them last week, but only three of them were called into the juryroom during the morning session. They were George T. Roberl.l assistant auditor of the interstate commerce commission; N. H. Anspach, head of the tariff and schedule department of the Lake Shore and Michigan Southern rail- road, and W. T. Smith, freight claim agent of the same road. District At- torney Sullivan stated that the dura- tion of the investigation was uncer- tain, but that it would last three or four days at least and possibly a week or more. “We have barely started,” he said, “and the grand jury investigations are such elastic things that we cannot tell where this one may lead us. We may call in more witnesses than those already subpoenaed. Transport Thomas Uninjured. ‘Washington, July 10.—The war de- partment has received word that the transport Thomas, which was pulled off the rocks near Guam Saturday, was not damaged and has resumed her voyage to Manila.

B, July 10.—Word has been received here that the Brit- ish fishing schooner Stanley Joseph has been lost wiih all hands on board near the Grand Banks during a ter rific siorm. required committee had made a report. It was then moved that Presi- dent Gould take the matter of naming a carpenter in charge, the committee having signified its desire to be relieved, but be- fore a vote could be taken it was discovered that one of the alder- men had left the room and there was no quorum. As it stands now, the job is up to the old committee. CASS LAKE T0 HAVE GUN SHOOT First Annual Tournament on July 12 and 13—Many Be- midjites Will Contest.

Finding Moat Interesting Chapters, Women as a class are credited with having no scruples about opening a book at the middle or end or anywhere else they may expect to find the most Interesting chapter. A frequent fem- Inine visitor at libraries was overheard revealing to a friend of her own sex her secret of locating at once the most thrilling chapter in any book, no mat- ter how unfamiliar ove may be with it. “You simply eclose it tight,” she said, “and glance along the edge of the leaves. It is seldom, indeed, that you do not notice a distinct line, or even more than one, caused by a number of edges soiled slightly more than those about them. Open the book there and you have the best chapter.” A librarian explained this by saying that the reading and rereading of the par- ticularly interesting chapters of a book naturally cause certain pages and their edges to be more soiled. Of course the longer the book has been in circula- tion the more distinct are the marks.— Philadelphia Record. A Bit of Fairyland. Cruising down Milford sound, New Zealand, when the clouds are clearing after a shower, the mountains are like fairyland. No longer grim and black and fearful, they are laced everywhere with the streaming silver of cloud born cascades. One day we watched the giddy journey of one of these cat- aracts. It sprang from the very top of the Lion rock, a 3,000 foot perpendic- ular wall. Long and slender and glint- ing like glass in the sun, it fell straight down over us, but never reached us. It had dropped, say, 1,000 feet, when it was caught by the wind, swayed this way and that, and fipally blown clean away, dissolving in misty rain. We steamed right under it, or, rather, un- der the place where it ought to have been, and experienced the peculiar sen- sation of looking straight up at a wa- terfall that, as the launch skipper put it, “never fell anywhere.”—Four Track News.

Fosston, Minn., July 10,—One of the most one-sided exhibitions ‘of the great American game that has ever been played on the Fossion diamond took . place this afternoon when the Bagley boys crossed bats with the local team. The score, which stood 11 to 0 in favor of Bagley, but half ex- plains the horse-play that the Bagley boys put up to the Foss- ton aggregation althougn the lat- ter had been strengthened by the addition. of two best players that McIntosh boasts of, the Narveson Bros, It was agame where the one side '(Bagley) could hand . the other a goose egg at any stage of the game, then turn around and play horse when they came to bat by walking around the bases, turning somersaults or jigging to the tune of the crowds hissing and jeers.

The thin snow now driving from the north and lodging on my coat consists of those beautiful star crystals, thin and partly transparent. They are about one-tenth of an inch in diameter, per- fect little wheels with six spokes, with- out a tire, or, rather, with six perfect little leaflets, fernlike, with a distinct, straight, slender midrib raying from the center. On each side of each mid- rib there is a transparent, thin blade with a crenate edge. How full of the creative genius is the air in which these are generated! I should hardly admire more if real stars fell and lodged on my coat. Nature is full of genius, full of the divinity, so that not a snowflake escapes its fashioning hand. Nothing s cheap and coarse, neither dewdrops uor snowflakes.—Henry D. Thoreau. FORMER SECRETARY GA({E DE- NIES THAT HE HAS JOINED THEOSOPHISTS.

Chicago, July 10.—The Tribune pub lishes a signed statement from Lyman J. Gage, former secretary of the treas. ury, defining his relation to theosophy. The statement is as follows: “Point Loma, Cal, July 9.—In re- sponse to your courteous suggestion that I set right the many inaccurate stories relating to my coming to this | place in California, my alleged rela- | tions to theosophy, etc., I make this : statement once for all, “Having passed my seventieth birthday 1 claim the privilege of with- drawing from the struggles of bus- | iness life. At the end of the school year some time is profitably spent in the review of what has been studied. In graduating from life’s long school term a similar course seems excus- able, if not desirable. “I am trying this life at Point Loma because I have personal friends here; because the climate is most agree- able; because it is just outside the rush and roar of the world; because here one can lead the the simple life. Beyond these reasons there are two Institutions. here which to me Lend Much Interest to the Place. The first is the United States military reservation, with its fine system of harbor defenses, its companies of ar- tillerymen, etc. The second is the Raja Yoga school for children and youths of all ages. “This school was established and i8 being carried on by Katherine Ting- ley, as leader and official head of the Universal Brotherhood and Theosoph- ical society throughout the world. The school excites my interest and the magnificent work it is doing in the development of clean, healthy, well educated and self-controlled young lives stimulates my hope for the fu- ture ol the society. “I am not affiliated except in this friendly way either with the military station or tne theosophical society. 1 am too o0id to enlist in the army and 1 have not yet been invited to join the theosophists. 1 would consider it hon- orable to be related to either of them. “No, T am just living my own lite according to my best conception of it and would much enjoy it if I could be left to mind my own business.” Implicit Trust. “Do you trust your husband implieit- 1y In all things?” “What a question!
