HAVE TWO GOOD TEAMS IN VIEW Local Baseball Management Dick- ering With Fertile and’ Grand Rapids for Sunday. There will be a game of ball played here next Sunday, when the Fertile team will line up against the locals. The Fertile t2am is making a trip through the north half of the state and they wrote to Lee LeGore for a gare Sunday. Their proposition was accepted this noon, the Fertile manager wrote the local manager that the Fertile players would te here, sure, for a game Sunday. The Bemidji team will play a game with Walker, at Walkor, Saturday. Inthe game played here several weeks ago, Walker easily defeated Bemidji, but the locals are very strong now, and it is believed that they can turn the tables on Rogers and his associates. Hibbing defeated Grand Rapids last Sunday at Hibbing by a scoreof 4to 2. A Hibbing “fan’’ who is in the city today asserts that the Range team counld have added several more scores to their sum total, but wanted the game to have the semblance of a contest, [reeman pitched for Hibbing, and he was, as usual, too much for Grand Rapids. Stafford twirled for Grand Rapids. Cloquet defeated Big Duluth at Cloquet last Sunday by a score of 5 to 4. Booth pitched for Cloquet, and the “kickers” were always in the lead. It is possible that the members of the local team will makea trip next week if satisfactoryarrange- ments can be made for games. Hoover, who played with the International Falls team, is in the city today and may play with the locals in some of their games. Title in Dispute. The testimony in an interest- ing contest for the homestead rights to a valuable tract of land three miles southwest of ‘town was taken by Miss Haldeman yesterday. A. B. Hazen is the contestant, and Frank Gagnon, the contestee, must show to the United States land office that he has complied with the law as to residing on the tract of land he desires to prove upon as a home- stead, The land is located close to the city and is a valuable piece of property. Attorney P. J. Russell appears for Mr. Hazen and C. W. Scrutchin is attorney for Mr. Gagnon. The testimony will be submitted to the land office for decision, Child Succumbs, Wes Wright’s little year-and-a- half old boy died last night at the home of the parents on Beltrami avenue, from a combinzation of whooping cough and measles. He had been sick for a week. ‘The little fellow was taken first with the cough and then was siezed with the measles, and the combination proved too much for his strength, sturdy little lad though he was. The bereaved parents have the sympathy of the community. The child was christened Stewart Clifford and he was just one year, six months and one day old. The funeral will be held tomorrow afternoon at 2 o’clock from the house. Gets $10; Misses $300. Crookston, July 18.—Some- time between 2 o’clock and 4 o’clock this morning a thief broke into the saloon operated by J. A, McCaffrey on Main street and stole the sack of change contain- ing $10. In the safe was over $300 which had been secured from the bank the night before in order to cash checks that might be presented today. Either the thief was frightened away or he was an amateur who did not know how to break into a safe. Cole Improving. Dr, A. B. Cole, chairman of the republican state central com- mittee, reports that his brother, the candidate for governor, is improving in health steadily. He will remain at Walker for a week or two longer before revurning to 8t. Patl.. g g GAME TO BEGIN AT 5 0’CLOCK County City Officials Will Start Early So as to Beat Out Nightfall. The great baseball game to be played tomorrow between the city and county officials will be- gin at § o’clock in the afternoon. It was the first plan to wait until after supper, but it was concluded that this would give time for the playing of only a few innings before darkness ended the sport, and it is desired to give the crowd as much fun as possible for its money. It has been suggested from a number of quarters that the merchants close their stores a little early Thursday night so as to allow their forces tc see the first part of the game as well as the last. After considerable discussion, the captains of the two teams have assigned their men for the following positions: City—Kinch ¢, Mayer, Geil and Bursley p, Russell 1b, Gould 2b, S. Balley and Cahill 3b, Helmer ss, Geil or Mayer rf, Bursley cf, Carter 1f. Substi- tutes, Graham, McTaggart, Brinkman, Pendergastand Skin- vik. County—Wright ¢, Spooner and T. Bailey, Jr., p, J.

Bailey, Sr. Chaperons, Misses Keihm, Woodward and Markham. Drs. Blakeslee, Marcum and Morrison will act as official surgeons and attend to the wants of the wounded and maimed. As the game will be called at 5 sharp, the good housewives are earnestly requested to exercise alittle gocd nature and let the *‘old boys” enjoy a late supper, and have in readiness a lot of hot water and bandages after the game is finished, An admission fee of 25¢ will be charged for the game, the pro- ceeds of which will be given to the management of the baseball park to assist in paying for the grounds. The Bemidji Cigar Factory has donated a box of M. & M. cigars to the winner of the city-county game, The “smokes” have been placed in Mayor Carter’s hands -for safe-keeping until the con- test is decided. New Trial Denied. Judge Spooner has denied the motion for a new trial in the case Cass Lake. At the last term of court for Cass county the plain tiff recovered a judgment against the defendant villiage for the sum of $700 for injuries re- ceived by falling through a defec- tive sidewalk sometime in August, 1905, Drowned in Pail. St. Hiliare, July 18.—One of saddest accidents that has hap- pened in St. Hiliare1n along time occurred Thursday afternoon. The infant daughter of Fred Sandmoen crept out of the kitchen and fell from ‘the porch head first into a large pail of dishwater. A neighbor’s child saw her fall and notified the parents who rescued her as soon as possible, but the infant died a few hours after the accident. Produce Man Weds. John D. Lunn, secretary and treasurer of the Northland Trade company, has returned from St Paul with a bride, nee Miss Anna K. Ekstrand. The marriage ceremony was performed by Rev. P. Peterson of the Evangelical Lutheran church of St, Paul at the home of the bride’s parents in the capital city, and was a quiet but protty affair., Mr. and Mrs. Lunn are staying at” the Markham for the present, but expect to move into their own home, as soon as the residence is completed on a site near the storage plant. Mr, Lunn has been bearing up bravely under the joking of some of his friends who have feigned the utmost surpriseat his marriage. They declare that he has always looked like a married man and that they never suspected him of being anything else. TWO DIRECTORS |MODERN FRONT TO BE ELECTED Terms of Marcum and Smith on Board of Education Expire Soon. There is to a school election Saturday evening, July 21. Two directors for the independent school district of Bemidji are to be elected to fill the offices now held by Dr. E. H. Smith and Dr. E. H. Marcum, whose terms ex- pire the last of this month, Drs. Swith and Marcum were appointed to complete the un- finished terms of Porter Nye, deceased, and E. F. Crawford, resigned. The election is to be held in the main schoolhouse, at 7 o'clock p m. BIG LAND DEAL IS CONSUMATED R. B. Daniel Pays $8,000 to S. D. Works for 1,488.37 Beltrami Aczes. Aland deal involving $8,000 was consumated yesterday, whereby Richard B. Daniel pur- chased from S. D. Works of Mankato, 1,488 37 acres of Bel- trami county land that is con- sidered among the best of the farming soil in the county. The land is located in Town 147-31 and 32, about six miles southeast of Turtle River, near Long Lake. The purchaser filed with the register of deeds the contract for deed for the land and states that he is well pleased with his of John Lunny vs. the village of :| Leader. purchase. The Sunbird. Very curious are the nests of the sun- olrd, scarcely larger than a butterfly. It chooses some exposed spot, probably close to the public road, and proceeds 1o build on an overhanging twig. The finishing touches being put to the small abode, it is left, according to one au- thority, severely alone until spiders have woven their webs over and around it. Another naturalist says that the birds themselves turn ragmen and, col- lecting any rubbish they can find in the way of moss, faded leaves, ends of cot- ton and other such trifles, stick them on the outside of the nest by means of pieces of purloined webs. In either case the result is the same, and they make their future home-a thoroughly disreputable object. Then, and not till then, does the little hen sunbird lay Ler two greenish white cggs, which she hatches under the shelter of a small porch which has been constructed over the nest, shielding her from sun and rain.

INDIAN POLICE REPLACES OLD IN BAD BRAWL Pioneer Adds to Appearance of | Custodians of Prisoncrs Fight and Office by Patting in Plate One Officer Is Seriously Glass Windows. Wounded. The Pioneer has been making extensive improvements in its front office the last few days, which add much to appearances. The old fronf, old style and en- tirely unsatisfactory for a news- paper office, has been torn out and replaced with a modern plate glass front, The double doors have also given place to one large door. This means a great deal to the building in the way of looks, and adds materially to the tone of the office inside. It also zives more light and more room. The frent office will now be Cass Lake, July 18.—An hour and a half before the south bound passenger train pulled in at Cass Lake Monday morning, four Indian police with five Indian prisoners arrived at the depot. The prisoners were to be taken to Walker and committed to the jail there for several days. But the prisoners evidently came to the conclusion that there was little use in staying around, and made a dash for linerty. The police, who were under the in- fluence of liquor, tried to figure the matter out, and within ten seconds the four officers came used principally for the large and complete line of blank books and stationery which the Pioneer carries. A large shipment of new goods, received within the last few days, is now being un- packed and placed on the shelves and in the showcases. together and blows were landed night and left. Finally one of the police siezed a stake from a truck standing near by, and with full force gave oune of his fellow officers a blow over the head. The Indian who received the blow from the truck stake isina critical condition and his re- covery is very doubtful. His assailant is also in a bad cou- dition, but it is not thought his injuries will prove fatal. Al of Piga. For many ye: Lord Gardenstone was one of the characters of Edin- burgh and as such received a place among the famous y’'s portraits. He ‘was represented riding on an old horse, with a dog in front and a boy dressed In a kilt behind. A detailed account of the picture states that Kay por- trayed him as, what he really was. a very timid horseman, mounted on an old hack, which he had selected for its want of spirit, preceded by his favorite dog Smash and foliowed by a highland boy, whose duty it was to take charge of the horse on arriving at parliament house. His eccentricity took the even stranger form of a strong affection for pigs. He became so much attached to one that he nllowed it to share his bed, and when good feeding and rapid growth made it a rather cumbersome Breaking the News. “Alaska is a land of adventure and romance,” 'said a gold miner. “Many queer things have happened in Alaska,” he continued, smiling—*many wretch- ed things.

Savages, we know, indulge in such luxuries as grubs and locusts, but for a clvilized. white man to finish up his dinner with a dish of raw ants seems too nasty to be credible. Yet in Mexico it is the custom—and a custom adopted by plenty of colonials and visitors. The ant eaten is called the honey ant and 1s perhaps as curious an insect as lives With a tiny head and legs, it has & huge body as big as a large pea, ané this is yellow and swollen with exce! lent honey. In each nest there are 300 or 400 of these honey ants, which are attended by thousands of others. The honey ants hang on to the roofs of the cells in the nest while the others feed them. They are, in fact, living store- houses of winter food. An observer says that if one of the honey ants falls from his perch a worker will go and pick him up and replace him. This feat is equivalent to a man walking up Man, the Monstrous Specter, ‘What a monstrous specter is this. man, the disease-of the agglutinated dust, lifting alternate feet or lying drugged with slumber; killing, feeding, growing, bringing forth small copies of himself; grown upon with hair like grass, fitted with eyes that move and glitter in his face; a thing to set chil- dren screaming, and yet looked at Sir Henry Stanley was a firm believer In the banana. He went so far as to advise that its consumption would cure rheumatism, gout and all liver affec- tions. When lying at the point of death from gastritis a light gruel of banana flour mixed with milk was the only food he could retain and digest. The secret of the banana as a health and strength producing food lies in its high percentage of proteids and the great number of its calories, respective- 1y 20 and 391.71.

'The nose Is intended for breathing, the mouth for speaking and eating. ‘Who has ever seen a horse breathing otherwise than through his nostrils? Minute scientific investigation has re- vealed the fact that the number of peo- ple who breathe through their nostrils are becoming gradually but surely few- er in number. The consequence is that the nostrils decrease in size, while it has been found that the prevalling nose is quite an inferior organ to that of our forefathers. It Is a well known phys- lological fact that unused muscles and bones gradually disappear. Fish who live In the dark, for instance, or the mole, who resides underground, be- come blind. Thus if we cease to use our noses for breathing they will cease to exist. They will become superflu- ous!—Pearson’s Weekly. Mosart's Quick Work. On one occasion Mozart was mak- ing merry with his friends at midnight when not a single note was written of the overture to “Don Giovannl,” which ‘was to be produced on the following evening. When he had said goodby to his friends he calmly went to bed and slept until 5 o'clock In the morning. Awaking refreshed, he set to work on the overture, dashing off sheet after sheet with Incredible rapidity and dis- patching them to the copylsts. The opera was to begin at 7 in the evening, and a few minutes after that hour Mozart was in his place as conductor, baton in hand, while the parts with the nk still wet on some of them were belng handed to the orchestra. , Seized His Chance, Miss Prim—In Siberia do they have relndeer?

The woman succumbed not long after to the effect of the blunder, but in her will left the sur- geon a small yearly pension, “not only to comfort him, but so that he could live the rest of his life without doing vivisection any more.” A similar his- toric occurrence is related in the Med- leal Times of a.Polish princess who bad had the same experience. She add- ed a clause to her will expressing her forgiveness and leaving the surgeon a small pension to indemnify him for the “loss of reputation that may follow my sad catastrophe.” The Dog’s Kennel. Damp is the greatest evil to which the dog confined outside the house in a kennel is liable. It will kill the strong- est dog and must be carefully guarded against.

Cleopatra’s Mummy. Where does Cleopatra’s body rest? Searcely a layman who would not an- swer, “Why, in Egypt!” After her cajoleries, her wiles, her life of in- tense if not very exalted loves, Cleo- patra was laid in one of the loveliest tombs that has ever been fashioned by the hand of man. But what a change 2,000 years has brought about! Today an ugly mummy, with an emblematic bunch of decayed wheat and a coarse comb tied rto its head—a mere roll of tightly swathed dust—lies crumbled in a hideous glass case ut the British mu- seum.

One of the large volcanoes in Hawail has a large lake of liquid lava in its crater or hollow.

Boston gwes its name to a Roman Catholic saint. Early In the seventh’ century a Catholic monk named Bo- tolph founded a church in what is now Lincolnshire, England. As the years went by a town grew up around the church and was called Botolphstown. This was shortened for convenience into Botolphston, then to Botoston and finally to Boston. John Cotton came to America from that town and named the New England caplital after his native village.
