CITY ACCEPTS THE CHALLENGE Gives “‘Defi” to County and Hot Ball Game Is Assured for July 19. The city officers accept. Mayor A. A. Carter ou behalf of the city today said “‘yes” to the challenge issued by the county officers to a game of base- ball, and one of the hottest exhi- bitions of the game ever put up is scheduled for Thursday even- ing, July 19. The game will be called at 6:3 A large n.mount. of interest is beginning to develop already over the approaching econtest. Among the men who are on the city and the county payrolls are a number who have an idea they can play ball, or that they could a few years ago, and the result is an intense rivalry between the two sides. There is going to be no trouble in getting up two nines, as it looks now the trouble is going to be to find places for all the men who want to get into the game. The supply of pitchers is especially overabundant. Prac- tically all the officers on both sides are willing to hold down the slab job, if the good of the team demands it, The line-up for neither team has been determined yet, but after some of the men have been tried out in practice it will be possible to name the players. It has been agreed that ‘the game shall be played after supper so as to allow those who work during the day to see the fun, and the down-town park has been secured, An admission of twenty.five cents will be charged and the receipts over and above the necessary expenses will be turned over to the ball associa tion to help pay for the park. Many Boats in "Photo. Close to thirty launches and as many more row oats were in the picture taken yesterday noon by Photographer Reed under the directions of the Commercial club. The craft were grouped about the city dock and show up well in the picture. The photograph is said by those who have seen a proof to be an excellent one, and will be used to good advantage in advertising the city. Mayor Carter is especi- ally enthusiastic over the picture and thinks thatif it is sent out broadcast to friends and ac- quaintances over the state and in North Dakota, it will show the people what Lake Bemidji amounts toas a summer resort better than almost abpything else. County Warrants. County Treasurer French has just completed the sending out of notices to parties holding county warrants, and from his records it should be noted that warrants registered prior to the dates given below are payable and interest ceases after August 9. County revenue fund on war rants registered prior to March 20, 1903. County poor fund warrants registered prior to vanuary 6, 1905, County road and bridge fund registered prior to July 9, 1906. County . building fund regs- tered prior to November 30, 1904 Equalization Board to Meet. The county commissioners will meet as a board of equalization next Monday, the sessions to continue for several days. The matter of equalization is im- portant, and the township and county board of equalization meeting is the place to rectify the assessments. Were this more generally followed there would not be the vast number of applications for abatement of taxes that are usually presented to the county board. C. McKusick left last evening for Duluth, where he has a few business matters to attend to, He is expected home Friday evening. T00 LATE TO CLASSIFY. WANTED—Good girl for general housework.

Owing to the increase in busi- ness and to the fact that Be- midji is fast becoming the central point to all points in this section of the state, Drs, C. J. Larson and A. Larson have decided to remove their offices from Park Rapids to this city. They have rented a suite of rooms in the Swedback block and will have them suitably furnished. They will be ready to receive calls from their patients from and after July 18. Dr. C. J. Larson has made regular monthly visits to Be- midji for the past five years and has given general satisfaction to his many patients. He has the approval of the highest medical authorities as to his professional ability as an eye specialist. His removal to Bemidji is but another endorsement to the fast growing importance of Bemidji as the coming commercial center of north central Minnesota. Bonds Issued.

Roark and wife came down this morning from Kelli- her and are spending the day in the city with friends. " ¢o1a Bullion’s” Arrogance, “Thomas H. Benton was a most re- markable man,” said the late Colonel Switzler, “in some respects the most remarkable I have ever known, but he could not begin a career at this time. The people would not tolerate him. Ile would impress even a stranger by his appearance. He walked as if he owned the earth. With head raised at an angle of 45 degrces and hands behind his back he would stalk with measured tread down the street, looking neither to the right nor to the left, recognizing no one. If he had an appointment to speak at 2 o'clock, promptly at 2 o'clock he would arrive. He would come In his carriage unattended. He would permit no one to introduce him, but, passing through the crowd, he would malke his way to the rostrum and begin, ‘Citi- zens” Never did he say ‘Fellow citi- zens.” Those before him were no fel- lows of his. And when he had conclud- ed he would make his way back to the Botel without personally addressing a soul In the audience. No one dared in- terrupt him in his speech. He refused to recognize the right of any constitu- ent to ask him how he stood on any subject.”—Columbia Herald. How Much Air We Have. One hundred and thirty-one miles is the height of the atmosphere as meas- ured by Professor T. J. J. See, who determines the thickness of the air envelope by noting the difference be- tween the time of sunset and the com- plete disappearance of blue from the sky. The moment at which the blue changes into black can be observed quite easily with approximate cer- tainty by the naked eye when the alr is clear, and by trigonometry may be ascertained the distance below the horizon of the sun at the moment of change. By this means may be cal- culated the height of the smallest illu- minated particles of oxygen and nitro- gen which give to the sky its blueness of tint by the reflection of the smallest wave lengths of the sun’s light. The Instant of change from blue to black I8 possibly a little difficult of exact observation, but the method Is not more doubtful than that based on the ob- servation of shooting stars. The shoot- Ing star method gives a result not greatly differing from the vanishing blue method. The former gives the helght of the atmosphere at 109 miles. Correct.

Fd Leonard of the town of Fowlds is ready to accept the challenge for a horse race issued by Thomas Newby through the Pioneer last week, only he wants to name a few conditions, him- self. “I will race my horse ‘Curly’ against the Wheelock pony ‘Little Boy,’ ”’ declared Mr. Leonard to the Pioneer today, “only I want the bet increased a little so as to make it worth while. Iam will- ing to wager anything from $300 to $500, but thg $100 put up by Mr, Newby doesn’t look good to me; it is too small a wad, “Then my horse has beeu out to pasture eyer since the Fourth and is out of training. I wanta chance to get him in trim. If Mr. Newby will make the bet anything from $300 to $500 and name the date thirty days from today, or thereabouts, I w1ll take him up.” Mr. Newby’s challenge was to race the Wheelock pony against Leonard’s horse next Saturday for a quarter-mile dash on the Bemidji track. STILL DETAINED BY POLICE. American Held in Germany as Anar- chist Suspect. Berlin, July 11.—August Rosenberg, formerly of Seattle, Wash.,, who was arrested July 1 at Altona, Prussia, as a suspected anarchist, is still detained by the police, but the case has been taken out of the hands of the local authorities pending the result of cor respondence between the foreign of- fice here and the German embassy at ‘Washington. Rosenberg, who is held only as a suspect, has not claimed the protec- tion of the American embassy in Ber- lin. The German authorities rely al- together upon the testimony of Amer- ican witnesses and the results of the American police inquiries. The im- pression appears to exist at Altona that the case against the prisoner is not very strong. NO DETAILS RECEIVED, Steamer Ashore Off the Coast uf Cape Breton. North Sydney, C. B, July 11.—The Elder-Dempster line steamer Angola, bound from Mexico to Montreal, went ashore at Balerine, near Louisburg, C. B. No further particulars have yel been received, the vicinity being with- out means of telephonic or telegraphic communication. It is supposed that the steamer struck during a fog. The coast at that point is very dangerous Tugs have been sent to her assistance from Nortk Sydney and Louisburg. 1 Love You. A Danish paper compares “I love you” in many languages. Here are some of them—the Danish paper is our only authority for their correctness: The Chinaman says, “Uo ngai ni;” the Armenian, “Ge sirem ez hez;” the Arabian, very shortly, “Nehabeeck;” the Egyptian, similarly, “N'achkeb;” the Turk, “Sisi sevejorum,” and the Hindoo, “Main tym ko pijar karyn,” But overwhelming is the declaration of love of an Eskimo, who tries to win the chosen one by the pleasing sound of the dainty little word: “Univifigs- saerntdluinalerfimajungnarsigujak.” KANSAS CITY ICE TRUST. Officials Seeking Evidence to Prose. cute Combine. Kansas City, July 11.—Evidence of the existence of an ice trust that, it is alleged, controls the lecal output, 1s being sought in an investigation be- gun by the county prosecutor. The Investigation has resulted from a movement {0 oust from business the concerns helonging to the supposed combine, which, it is charged, de- mands $10 a ton of the smaller con- sumer for ice that costs it $1.50.

Not at Home, Caller—Is your father at home? Lit- tle Daughter — What Is your name, please? Caller—Just tell him it is his old friend Bill. Little Daughter—Then I guess he ain’t at home.
