LEPROSY NEED AKELEY DROPS i NEW TWO-STORY CONFERENCE TO CAUSE NO FEAR| TWO TO LOCALS| BRICK PLANNED| END TOMORROW Dr. Bracken of State Board of Health Quiets Undue Ap- prehension. DISEASE WILL NOT SPREAD IF PRECAUTION IS TAKEN Not Such a Menace as Consamp- tion, Says State Board Officer. state board of health says that leprosy in this state is not such a menace as tuberculosis, de- clares the Minneapolis Tribune. Speaking of the disease yes- terday in answer to an in- quiry as to what disposition would be made of Arndt Reton of Mill park, Bemidji, who is suffer- ing from leprosy, he stated that there are upwards of twelve lepers in the state, and he knnwsl of three who are living in Minne- apolis, Said the doctor: “‘There is little danger oi the spread of leprosy in Minnesota orin any other state for that matter. When I first came into; office there were twenty-four lepers in Minnesota. Since that time, probably a dozen have died and the rest are constantly under surveillance of the state board of health, “It ie ridiculous to read the ac- count of lepers, as published last week in some of the Eastern newspapers. Of all the cases in Minnesota, but two are Ameri- cans. One of them is said to have contracted the disease from his brother, while the otiier was thought to be hereditary.” When Dr. Bracken was asked if there were any cases in the twin cities he replied: “Yes, we have under observation three cases now in Minneapolis, but there is little or no danger of the disease spreading. In each of the cases the patient is isolated irom the rest of the family by using his own dishes, bedding and bed clothing, and to bave his clothing cleaned apart from the other members of the family. “Of course they carry on com- munication with members of their families, but do not use anything that the rest of the family uses,” In this case at Bemidji the state board of health has notified the county authorities that they must take care of the leper. Dr. Bracken asserts that, in spite of the fact that the disease is dying out, a national hospital or a sanitorium for lepers should be maintained by the United States government. Dr. H. M. Bracken of thal Presiding Elder Here. Dr. Dodds, presiding elder of the Crookston district of the Minnesota denomination, spent yesterday afternoon in the city the guest of Rev.

William Gallagher, more famil- iarly known as “Billy,” is here today from his hcmestead on Tartle river. “Bill” says the young mallards are waxing fat and heis guarding them as the apple of his eye, to the end that Fred Rhoda may have a gocd day’s sport when the open season for ducks arrives next fall. Bemidji Ball Team Wins Double- heador Yesterday—Games Were Fast. Akeley, July 28.—(Special to the Pioneer)—Bemidji defeated Akeley in a fast game of ball in this village yesterday, by a score of 4to 1. Akeley had loaded up for Be- midji, but could not hit Sum- mers, the little short stop, who pitched. His pitching and field- ing were the feature of the game. He allowed but four hits, and these would have done no dam- age, except in the ninth inning, when it began to rain. Two of the hits came then. : All the boys played splendid ball, Collins making a sensational catch in left field, Hoover, who played short in place of Sum- mers, played great ball, one of his stops being as fine as any ever seen here. Charley Rogers, who played third for Akeley, also put upa great game, covering acres of ground and accepting seven Big Building to Replace Burned Structure Next to Lum- bermens Bank. FITGER BREWING COMPANY BEHIND THE ENTERPRISE Lot Sold for $2,800, Indicating Increasing Value of Bemidiji Real Estate. P. C. Schmidt, attorney for the Fitger Brewing company of Du- luth, closed a deal yesterday whereby the brewing company becomes the possessor of lot 1, in block 2, being the property lying between the Lumbermens National bank and the Campbell saloon on Third street. The lot was bought from Mrs, Catherine Aller, as administra- trix of the estate of Anton Aller, deceased. To the Pioneer, Mr. Schmidt stated that the Fitger people would at once prepare plans and let the contract for a handsome two-story brick build- chances without an error. Coleman, for Akeley, pitched fine ball, allowing but four hits, but these come when they count- ed, Hoover and Leigh LeGore getting hits in succession, and Farley LeGore getting a home run with a man on second, earned three runs. Akeley, July 28.—(Special to the Pioneer)-Thé game last even- ing was one of the best eyer seen here, Bemidji winning, 5 to 3. Hazen pitched a fine game for Bemidji, allowing but three hits, striking out five and giving one base on balls. Roy again caught afine game. Kruger also pitched well for Akeley. Eight hits were secured off his delivery, he ‘“fanned” three and passed one. The game was very exciting and kept the crowd bordering on a frenzy. The feature of the game was a score made by Gilmore, who stole home from third while the catcher had the ball in his hands, sliding between the back- stop’s legs. The Bemidji team went home this afternoon and will play Ake- ley at Bemidji tomorrow. The Akeley and Bemidji teams will play a game here tomorrow afternoon at 38:30. The two games played at Akeley on Fri- day were very closely contested and showed that Akeley hasa fast aggregation. The local team willdo all possible to make it three straight, and to that end will put the strongest players in the game. . The boys will line upas fol- lows: Roy ¢, Lee LeGore p, Hoover or Finn 1b, Hazen 2b, Summers ss, Gilmore 3b, Col- lins If, F'. LeGore cf, Riddell rf, Akeley—A. Bungo ¢, Coleman p, C.

There has been con- siderable competition for .this property, as it is located in the best business portion of the city.

News From Arizona. Joseph Young has recent- ly received from his brother, Henry, who is now located at Phoenix, Arizona, the good news that Henry is rapidly regaining his wonted good health since he moved to Arizona. Henry was for several years an employe in the government priating office at Washington, D. C., but was forced to resign on account of 11l health, which, it was feared, was developing into consumption. Henry is well known here, and the fact that his ailment was not consumption and that he 1s slow- ly regaining strength will be pleasing news to his Bemidji friends, Will Young. another brother who has many acquaint- ances here, is now living at Port- land, Oregon, where he is com- mercial traveler for a wholesale firm.

Today will close the heavy worlk of the Bible conference,now in session at the Presbyterian church. There will be sessions. tomorrow afternoon and evening, but they will be short and unim- portant. f The program yesterday alfter- noon and evening and this morn- ing were full of interest. This afternoon the conference, a sec- ond time, took a half-holiday, spending the pleasant afternoon hours on the lake and in the woods. There was to have been an open-air meeting yesterday after noon, but it was not thought ad- visable, and the meeting was held in the church. The session was led by S. A. Blair. There were two addresses, both interesting. Dr. G. N. Luccock spoke on the value of man to God, showing that man’s value in God’s eyes is his min- istry. The second talk was by Captain A. R, O’Brien.

Buell and Rev. J. A. McGaughey. They were full of interest and listened to attentively. The music this morning wasa vocal duet by Miss Haldeman and Mrs. Oberg, and a piano solo by Miss Blanche Boyer.

At the close of the conference he paid the at- torney a retainer of $100 to look after the matter. Upon returning to his place of business he found that his partner had already settled the suit, obtaining the sum demanded without an attorney. He thought $100 was al- together too much for an office fee, so he dispatched his clerk to look after the subject. “Mr. Webster,” said the young man, “my employer thinks you should re- turn a part of your retainer. THat case has been settled.” “Young man,” sald the lawyer, “you g0 back and tell your employer that a retainer is something to be retained.” Curing a Pampered Pet. A very clever veterinary had a sys- tem all kis own. When he received an overfed toy dog he would cousign him to a disused brick oven with a crust of bread, an onion and an old boot. When the dog began to gnaw the bread the anxious mistress was informed - that ber darling was “doing nicely.” When it commenced operations on the onion word was sent that the pet was “de- cidedly better,” but when the animal tackled the boot my lady was gratified to hear that her precious pet was “ready to be removed.”—Woman's Home Companion.
