CONFERENCE IS IT'S “MOVE ON" IN FULL SWING| FOR THE “BOES” Presbyterian Church Scene ofi.gyy Car Tourists” Beginning to Interesting Religious Seryices This Week. DELEGATES TO THE NUMBER OF 200 ARE IN THE CITY Conference Enjoying a River Trip This Afternoon on the “North Star.” The Bible conference is well under way. It began yesterday afternoon at the Presbyterian church and sessions were held last evening and this morning and afternoon. About 200 dele- gates from numerous northern Minnesota cities and villages are in attendance. The meetings are proving of great interest to those partici- pating; even more so than was expected. The music is good, and the addresses and discus- sionsare lively and full of thought and spirit. The weather man seems to have been besought to some pur- pose to do his best for the con- ference, for nothing more ideal in the way of sunshine and balmy breezes could be asked for. The purpose of the gathering is suggested by its name; it is for the study and discussion of the Bible and things religious. This is the second annual meet- ing, the first having been held in this city last summer. Yesterday the sessions, after- noon and evening, were presided over by Rev. W, S. Ward of Crookston. The program started at 2:30 p. m., with devotional services led by Rev, F. J. Bar- ackman. This continued for about fifteen minutes, when Dr. J. R. Pratt of Albany, N. Y., took the floor and gave a quarter-hour Bible lesson talk, He discussed the first four chapters of the book of Matthew. Dr. Pratt in- vites those who are especially interested to take front seats and open their Bibles, and his script- ure talks are extremely popular. After a musical selection, the conference listened to an unusual- ly good address by Dr. G. N. Luccock of Chicago on “The Bright Side of a Home Mission- ary’s Life.” Dr. Luccock him- self has been a home missionary for a long number of years, and he has a wealth of experiences from which he drew freely in handling his subject. His per- sonal reminiscences served ad- mirably to illustrate his theme. The evening services were also led by Rev. Mr. Ward. -The meeting was begun by a song service, and following came an address of welcome by G. W. Campbell. The response was by Rev. Mr. Ward. The evening closed with an address by Dr. C. A. McKinnon on “Our Vision and our Task.” Dr. McKinnon Arrive, But Police Keep Them Traveling. The season for the festive hobo and his “pot gang”1s on in full blast throughout the north half of the stateand Bemidji has been getting her share of the non- sweating fraternity, who “toil not, neither do they spin,” but who manage to ‘get there,” pretty regularly three times a day and enjoy refreshing slum- ber o’nights. 1t has been the habit of the ‘‘boes’’ to congregate 1n numbers at a “‘trysting place” a mile west of the depot and also at a point where the old sawmill was lo- cated. The tin-can gentry used to do their cooking and eating at these places, and at times some questionable characters ren- dezvoused there. Chief of Police Bailey and the members of the force are using strenuous persuasion to induce the “tourists” to move on, with the result that the happy homes are not inhabited to any great extent these days. < The men who used to hang out there were in the habit of steal- ing anything and everything in the shape of growing vegetables from gardens in the vicinity and were a menacing nuisance. It is a case of “‘keep moving, Willie,” with the box-car fraternity who bit Bemidji at this season of the year. No hoboes wanted. Foresters Meet. The United Order of Foresters will meet . this evening in the I.O. O. F. hall at 8 o’clock. There will be initiation and all members are requested to be present, “Hooligan’s Troubles,” pre- sented at the opera house last evening was a very good show. ‘“‘Happy Hooligan, ”as interpreted by Billie A. Ward, was original and full of mirth-provoking acts. Miss Grace Ayelsworth, as the “tuff” girl, was very acceptable, and the specialties were much above the average. usual devotional exercises led by Rev. N. A. Gilchrist, Rev. F. J. Barackman being in the chair. Following this Dr. Pratt con- tinued his discussion on the book of Matthew, taking up the fifth, sixth and seventh chapters. The balance of the program this morning was an address by Rev. B. Longley on “Paul’s Preparation for His Work,” an address on “The Messianic Hope of Israel,” by Dr. A. C. Zenos, D. D.L.L. D, and an address on *‘The Bible, Our Text Book,” by Dr. McKinnon. This afternoon was given up to recreation, the visitors bemng given an opportunity to see the beauties of the city’s lakes and woods and river. The *“North Star” has a snappy style and is always interesting. This morning there was the was chartered for - the afternoon and a boatload enjryed {a trip up the Mississippi m&mw&mm&j Made The i A dispatch from Nashville, Tenn., says that that city is in the midst of an excitement over the work of Cooper and his new pre- parations, that is beyond anything that it has experienced in Trecent years. According to reports Cooper ar- rived in Nashville several weeks ago and began demonstrations with his medicines. In a short time he announced his intention to pub- licly demonstrate what they would do for deafness, Newspapers were printing stories daily of the wonderful results that were being accomplished for vic- tims of stomach trouble, Ridney ‘ trouble, rheumatism, and catarrh and interest was at its height. In consequence, at the appointed time a great throng awaited the appear- ance of the young man at the drug store where he was making his headquarters. About three o’clock in the afternoon Cooper appeared on the scene and invited all those afflicted with deafness to step for- ward. Picking out an elderly gentleman carrying an ear trumpet, Cooper questioned him and elicited the information that the man who had been unable to hear without the aid of the trumpet for several years. He then poured a peculiar preparation into the man’s ears and rubbed them softly with his hands. After about three minutes he requested that some person in the audience ask the man a ques- tion. Several complied and from all appearances the man Lad no difficulty in understanding every- thing said to him in an ordinary conversational tone. A dozen or Deaf Hear. more of others were treated like- E wise with the same result. - With one or two exceptions all declared that they could hear as well as they ever could. The newspapers have since been full of reports of the work and Cooper seems to have become the talk of the town. The names of several prominent persons have appeared as having been greatly benefitted by his medi- cines. Mr. S. O. Paine, a well-kaown bank- clerk, living at 414 Ash ¥ street, being among those whose names were mentioned, was seen and asked about his experience with Cooper’s preparations. ‘It is indeed true,” he said, ‘‘that I have obtained remarkable results from the use of the medicines. I had been deaf in my lefs ear for some time and when I heard of the wonderful work that was being ac- complished by the remedies, I made up my mind to give them a trial. Accordingly, I secured a small quantity and began the treatment 48 directed. I noticed a slight im- provement almost immediately. A few days after, when using the tele- phone I absently put the receiver to my lefc ear and was surprised to find that I could hear distinctly. [ improved steadily ever since and have experienced no trouble. " Inquiry at E. A. Barker’s Drug store, the local agency for Cooper’s medicines, brought forth the infor- mation that the remelies are in greatdemand in Bemidji and that soma remarkable cases have been reported right here at home, further WOULD RETRIEVE HER LOST “REP” 1 — Walker Will Try to Panish Locals, Sunday, for Last Week's Defeat. The Walker baseball team will play a game with the Bemidjis at the new down-town park on Sun- dayafternoon. The team that will come is much stronger than the nine that played against Bemidji at Walker last Saturday. Funk, the crack pitcher of the Carver, Minn., team, will be brought along to do the twirling, and there will be several other changes in the line- up, both in the infield and out- field. The Bemidji team will be in- tact, the same that played at Walker last Saturday, with pos- sibly one or two changes. Lee LeGore will pitch and Louis Roy will catch, In Funk, Walker has one of the very best pitchers in the entire state. His work with the Carver team this s n has been little short of marvelous. He has not lost a game, and it is said has not let himself out yet to the limit of his speed and curves, He and LeGore will have a battle worth seeirg. The game will be called at 8:30, as usual. The Bemidji team will leave on the Park Rapids train tomorrow morning for Akeley, where they will play two games tomorrow with the Akeley team. The first game will be played in the afternoon and the other will be called after supper. Summers and Hazen will do the pitching. Loyd Carlton, the youngster who has played several games with the locals, gives promise of developing into a very strong player. His work at first base has been good. Two teams selected from the employes at the mill will play a game at the park Sunday fore- noon. . . . New Real Estate Office. M. E. Smith, who last winter disposed of his lamber yards to the Markham-Schisel company, has definitely decided to remain in Bemidji and cn August 1 will open a real estate office in the Miles block. Mr. Smith will buy and sell city and farm property, attend to rents for non-resident people, and conduct a general business along real estate lines. Card of Thanks.

Petersburg, July 26.—No word of the military disorders is now per- mitted to be published. Discussing the financial. situation the Rech says the quotations of Rus- slan securities here and abroad are not exaggerated. The.paper says a financial crash {s impending, as the government is resorting to Count Witte's old system by which millions are used in Berlin and Paris as well a8 in St. Petersburg to bolster up Russian bonds. This is the only In- direct reference made by the press to the parliamentary appeal to the coun- try to cut off the government’s sup- plles by refusing to pay taxes. In the provinces the suppression of newspapers and the arrest of agitators continues unabated. Up to the press ent time there is no evidence of the expected general rising of the peas- antry, but news travels slow in the country. The only Sudden Growth of Disorders among the peasants thus far reported Is at Kostroma, 200 miles northeast of Moscow. A recrudescence of the revolution Is also reported in the Baltic provinces near Domitrovsk, In Orel province the peasants on the crown estates are reported to be in eruption. The refusal of the authorities to send troops to save the estate of Baron Fredericks, aide-de-camp to the emperor, which was plundered by peasants, seems to indicate that until the danser is passed it is the inten- tion of the war office to keep the troops concentrated in the cities and protect the lines of communication between here and Moscow and St. Petersburg and the frontier, so that in the event of serious troubles in the army becoming apparent troops can retire on St. Petersburg, where the last stand will be made. ANTIJEWISH MANIFESTO, Thousands of Copies Distributed In Streets of Moscow, Moscow, July 26.—Tens of thou- sands of coples of the Virchey, a Black Hundred paper, containing the most provocative articles against the Jews and revolutionists, are being dis- tributed gratis in the streets. An article describing how a meeting of ‘Russian patriots received the news of the dissolution of parliament” says fhe “true sons of the Fatherland fell n each other’s neck and wept tears of joy.” An editorial In the paper glorifies the dispersal. of the ‘“revolutionary issembly of Jews and Jewish sym- pathizers,” adding: “The prayers of the pcople have at least found an echo in the heart of the emperor. Arise, orthodox Russians! Take care that the next parliament Is not an assembly of Jews ‘and revo- .utionists, but a state institution will- ng to work in harmony with the sato- cratic emperor and the fundamental law. Sons of the Fatherland, rejoice In your victory, but remember that the Jewish hydra has 100 heads and that many heads yet remain to be cut ot Not Permitted to Land. Reval, Russia, July 26.—A steamer loaded with Finnish workmen arrived here-during the day, but the authori- tles would not permit them to land and the vessel departed, the men sing- ‘ng the “Marseillaise.” j Egyptian Onions. Egypt has been regarded by some people as the land of pyramids and mummies only, but it has from time immemorial had a- reputation for onfons. Anclent Egyptlans swore by the onion and regarded the plant ag sacred. The inscription on the pyra- mid of Cheops tells us that the work- men had onions given to.them, and from the Bible we learn that the He- brews, when slaves under Pharaoh, enjoyed these bulbs, and that when far away they remembered “the leeks and the onlons and the garlic.” The Egyp- tion onlon is a handsome and useful vegetable, and by selecting the best strains of seed the quality tends, year by year, to .improve. The Egyptian knows two varieties, the “Baali” and the “Miskaoul,” but supplies of the lat- ter kind are seldom sent abroad, as they absorb so much moisture from the frequently irrigated ground In which they are grown that they do not stand a sea voyage well. The “Baali” onion is the more popular Egyptian onion and is grown In yellow soil, which Is sparingly watered while the bulbs are maturing, in order that the onions may stand a lengthy sea voyage with little risk of sprouting. r Cheap Living In Norway. “It Is a good scheme,” said a rich man, “to spend the summer in Norway. The Norwegian climate is superb, the scenery I3 grand and the living Is cheap—a dollar a day at the hotels and carriages at a half dollar a day. One fine thing about Norway Is that in the summer the night only lasts a couple of hours, and if you go as far as the North cape there is no night at all, but the eun circles round and round the horlzon and never sinks below. The Norweglan rivers abound in fish, and any one Is free to angle for trout in them. The salmon rivers, though, are strictly preserved. Some of the salmon rlvers are very fine and rent for as much as $2,000 a year. I know a man who has a river only two miles long that he pays $1,800 for. He often gets fish sixty or seventy pounds. The day T called on him his wife came in with a forty pounder, a twenty-two pounder and a fifty-one pounder that she had ‘caught herself within three hours.” A Political Pointer.
