CHEAP WATER IS |BIG PINE DEAL FOR BIG FAIR| VOTED CHURCHES " Blackduck Putting Forth Every|Council Cuts Tax Fifty Per Cent —Sidewalks to Nymore Discussed. In the near future a sidewalk is likely to connect Bemidji and Nymore on *“Mill” street, the {highway leading from the Miss- 'issippi bridge to the neighboring village. A proposition from the council of Nymore to this city, wherein the neighboring village agrees to build the walk as far as the tracks, if Bemidji will build the walk the rest of the way, was presented to the Bemidji council by President Gould last night at the regular meeting and met with general favor. It was desired to avoid any precipitate action, however, and the street and sidewalk committee was in. structed to investigate the prob- able cost and report at the next meeting. All churches are hereafter to have a fifty per cent reduction on water taxes, a motion to this eflect having been passed last night. The matter was brought up a week ago by a vpetition signed by Rev, E. M. Peterson, pastor of the Lutheran church, and by the Presbyterian minister, asking for a reduction for their churches. The matter was re- ferred to the proper committee last week and reported last night. It was concluded that any action should include all the churches. The matter of fixing up the sidewalks on various streets, where there are many broken boards, was also brought up, and Street Commissioner Hazen ex- plained that he was out. of the necessary lumber. The street committee was authorized to pur- chase the boards and the bad holes in the walks snould disap- pear, now, shortly. The council also reconsidered its action of last week in cutting off $25 from the bill of the Duluth Engineering company, for the changes made in the sewer plans. The company wrote a letter of protest, and the extra $25 was allowed. Department G, canned goods, Mrs. Charles Gustafson, Ten- strike, Mrs. R. F. Praught, Blackduck, Department H, Mrs, M. P. DeWolf, Blackduck, and some Bemidji lady yet to be selected, The association possesses no buildings, as yet, but commod- ious quarters will be provided for exhibitors in buildings centrally located at Blackduck. No en- trance fee will be charged ex- hibitors, and it is expected that there will be a large number of entries for the liberal prizes offered by the association. In making up the program for the three days of the fair the committee has designated the days follows: Wednesday, August 29, “Up-the-Line Day,” being especially for people living along the line ofthe M. &I. railway north and east of Blackduck. Thurs- day, “Bemidji Day,” when Be- midji citizens will attend the fair en masse. Friday, “Walker Day,”” and the Walker folks have already assured the fair manage- ment that they will be there in numbers. Special low rates will be made on the M. & I. and the Great Northern for those who desire White-Jones. Joseph Jones and Miss Dulah White of Northome were married at St. Anthony chapel yesterday morning, the occasion being cele- brated with nuptial mass, Rev. John O’Dwyer officiating. Mat- thew Jones of Northome, a brother of the groom, stood up as best man and Margaret Jones of Minneapolis acted as brides- maid. Paddy Peelan and Mrs. Barney Dwan of Northome at- tended the wedding. The entire party left on yesterday noon’s train for Deer River, where they will visit for several days, the guest of John M, Jones, a broth- her of the groom. The Pioneer is informed that there were a large number of the friends of the Jones’ at the train at Deer River, loaded with rice, old shoes, etc., prepared to give the wedding party a warm welcome on their arrival.

IS PUT THROUGH (I8 RIGRIR Crookston Lumber Company Buys 20,000,000 Feet of Lumber in Hubbard County. The Crookston Lumber com- pany has closed a deal whereby the company becomes the pos- sessor of twenty million feet of pine formerly owned by C. F, Ruggles, the millionaire lumber- man. The pine is located in Towns 143 and 144, R. 35, being in Hub- bard county, along the Missis- sippi river, about twenty-five miles southwest of Bemidji. The timber will be cut and driven down the Mississippi river to Lake Irving and hoisted there and taken to the mill at East Grand Forks. The deal involved a consider- able sum, and is an important transfer. Financiers in Town. C. W. Hastings of Minneapolis, F. P. Sheldon of Grand Rapids, and J. J. Sheldon of Owatonna were a party of heavyweights in financial circles who were in the city yesterday. All are inter- ested in the affairs of the First National bank of Bemidji, Mr. Hastings being president of the institution, and the Sheldon brothers being members of the board of directors. W. H, Roberts, vice president of the Kirst National, is interested with the gentlemen in seversl sub- stantial banking houses through- out this country, nctably at Blackduck, Northome, Big Falls, International Falls and Bovey. All left last evening for a trip to Blackduck, Northome and Big Falls, to look over the business being done at their banks in these places. Mr. Hastings said, while here: ‘‘Business has been very good with us, we are more than satisfied with the showing made by our different institu- tions, and I believe that financial conditions were never better in this part of the country.”” Mr. Hastings has not been in the best of health for several years, but stated that he was feeling better now than he had for some time. New Trial Denied. Judge Spooner has denied the motion of G. P. Watson for a new trial in the case of C. N. Cannon vs. G. P. Watson. Cannon was sued before Wat- son, a justice of the peace at Big Falls, from which he took an appeal and which Watson as a justice refused to honor or pay any.attention to. Later a writ of mandamus was secured by Cannon against Wat- son and the hearing was before Judge Spooner and two juries. The first jury failed to agree and the second brought in a verdict for the plaintiff, Cannon. Later Watson applied for a new trial, which has been denied. Cannon’s suit will be tried on the merits of the case at the fall term of district court in Septem- ber. Finest Bass, Ever. Probably the finest string of black bass ever brought into Be- midji was that exhibited in the windows of E. H. Winter & Co.’s hardware store Monday. There were twenty-seven fine, fatg fel- lows, the average weight of which was three and one-half pounds, There was one bass in the string that tipped the scales at exactly five pounds, being the very best black bass ever seen here. The string was the result of a catch made on Sunday last by a party consisting of Adam Otto, George Keihm, Lieutenant Dock- ery, of Duluth, and William C. Kline. They did their fishing on Big Bass and Long Lakes, and were out but a few hours. The fish were biting nicely and the catches were made regularly, showing that there is elegant fishing in both lakes.

The vote today shows Miss Solberg still in the lead, with the others in the same order as yesterday. The vote: Miss Lela Solberg.......... Miss Mable McTaggart. Miss Dora Hazen George H. Spear, county attor- ney of Itasca county, .arrived in the city yesterday afternoon and went to Houpt last evening to in- vestigate the circumstances sur- rounding the death of Archie Campbell, a full account of which was published in last evening’s Pioneer. Accompanying Mr. Spear were Edison Bereman and E. E. McDonald, whom Bereman had engaged as his attorney. Mr. Spear went into the mat- ter very thoroughly, spending the entire night questioning resi- dents of Houpt, examining the body and tracing all the move- ments of Campbell Saturday night. Not much of importance was gleaned beyond the pub- lished story. Campbell went north on the M. & I. freight Saturday, and while the train stopped at the station he had an altercation with Agent McCormick and was put out of the depot. He went on to Funkley,where he indulged in liberal liquid potions and said he was going to Houpt to *lick Eddie Bereman.” After his arrival at Houpt, his movements were as related in the Pioneer: He used the most foul language and threatened to ‘“clean out the Bereman place’ and “lick Eddie Bereman before morning.” He and his companions returned to the Bereman saloon; he attacked Bereman and was pushed through the door onto the sidewalk, Bereman hittingCamp- bell over the left eye with a dry balsamn stick half an inch thick.

CHARLES AND AUGUSTA TRODLER, ™ Denver's First Siagecoach, On the 17th of May, 1839, Denver turned out to welcome the first through coach of what was destined to grow into the “Overland Mail,” an enterprise which for sheer American pluck and daring must be forever linked with the fame of the “Pony Express.” Red shirts drifted to the outskirts of the hamlet and dotted the hills around. Hard faced bartenders made ready for the “hottest night that ever tore the camp loose.” The illery of holster and saddle boot was unlimbered for an ecstatic fusillade. There was lively betting in dust and nuggets that the first through stage had been gathered in by Indians, with takers as eager to stake their faith that the scalps of catcd, fell on the sidewaik, but be immediately got up and in- dulged in a round with B. F. Brady, during the progress of which a companion of Brady knocked Bereman down. The mix up was not considered to have resulted in any serious damage to any of the partici- pants, and Campbell went to the Labree hotel and washed his face and hands.. He was in a maudlin condition, supposedly from heavy drinking, and tried to sleep on the floor, but was taken outside and allowed to slumber. Later he was placed in the bunk room, nothing being thought-of his condition except that he was possessed of a large- sized “jag’’ and would eventually sleep it off in the *‘snake room.” When Campbell’s dead body was found in the room there was great surprise expressed. The body is in an excellent state of preservation, the only mark being a small cut over the left eye. Bereman was 'arrested on the charge of assault with a weapon to produce grievous bodily in- jury, and Brady was also taken into custody, for assault and battery. They #will be given a driver and guard would come through intact. At length a swirl of dust show- ed far down the trail. It grew into a yellow cloud that crept toward the eager hamlet. Then six mules, stretch- ed out on the gallop, emerged from this curtain, and behind them was the lumbering, swaying stage, come safely through on time, and Denver was In touch with the world where men wore white shirts and lived In real houses. The cheers that roared a welcome to this herojc enterprise were echoed in every. western town which hoped and Jonged for a link of its own with the home country, “way back east.”—Out- ing Magazine. . The Polite Burman. In the cities of Burma, where the natives have been long In contact with Europeans, says the author of “Bur- ma, Painted and Described,” they have lost some of their traditional polite- ness, but in the country districts ola school courtesy Is still the custom, An | English gentleman who had bought a new pony was trying him out on a Burman road when the animal bolted 4nd ran at top speed down a narrow road. In the way ahead was a native cart, in which was a family party out holiday making. The pony dashed Into the back of the cart, threw his rider GIANT SPIDER IS A CAPTIVE Blacksmith McDonald Finds In- sect Two-and-a-quarter Inches Long at Plantagnet. J. R. Mc Donald, the black- smith, has in his possession what is probably the largest spider ever seen, that is a native of this part of the state, The insect measures 2 1.4 inches in length and is 8-4 of an inch wide. Thereare many legs, which are nearly an inch long, resembling what we have been led to believe is the accepted con- dition of the money god with its tenacles. McDonald denies the rumor that, armed with a shotgun, he pursued the spider for eight miles, and states emphatically that he Inlled it with a club, at his claim on Lake Plantagnet. 7 Warning to Bearded Men. “It is well that old men should wear beards,” said a physician, “for when one becomes old one should be spared the exertion of daily shaving. But I would like to issue a warning to all beard wearers. I would like to shout ‘Keep your beards dry! in a voice loud enough to be heard around the world. Were those words heeded many cases of sore throat, cold and influenza would be avoided, and many deaths ‘would be indefinitely put off. So many men with beards negiect when they wash their faces to wipe their beards dry! A beard a foot long demands a lot of toweling. It should ve toweled after every wash a good five minutes. Otherwise it.is damp. The owner goes about with this damp thing upon his delicate and sensitive throat. Then, if he takes tonsilitis or influenza, he blames the American climate. There are too many damp beards among us. Too many men, washing their faces three or four times a day, have their beards damp and clammy a good threa hours daily.”—New Yurk Press. Maine’s Female Warrior. During the war between the states when it became necessary to draft men for the army a recruiting officer, Parker Mears by name, went to an Island oft the coast of Mafne called Loud’s island. It claimed to be a plan- tation. As the boat neared the shore a tall, brawny female, the mother of sev- eral stalwart sons, appeared on the rocks and as the officer set foot op shore sternly demanded his business. “After men for Uncle Sam,” he an- swered. She immediately began to pelt him with big, hard potatoes, and they came so fast and furiously that he was obliged to flee to the boat and row l became entirely bald, hav- DASSEL, MINN., Sept. 9, 1905.
