et ———————— | | | | | i HORSE RACE BIG CARNIVAL EVENT Many Bets Boing Made on New- by—Leonard Contest Next Wednesday. Oune of the features of carnival week will be a horse race, be- tween two of the fastest runners in this part of the state, which was the outcome of the race run here on the Fourth of July. On that date A. T. Wheelock’s pony, ‘Little Boy,” threw his rider and finished the race alone, being a close second to Ed. Leonard’s “Curiey,” which won the race and the purse. Several days after the race, another race was arranged be- tween ‘‘Curley ’and “Little Boy.” Mr. Leonard wagering $300 that his horse could defeat the pony in a match race, quarter of a mile heats, best two in three. The money, $600 in cash, hasbeen placed in the hands of C. M. Bacon, and the respective back- ers of the horses have decided to run the race Wednesday “of next week. The race will be pulled off at 2 o’clock in the afternoon. atthe fair ground race track. The quarter-mile course select- ed for the race is the second and third eighths of the half mile track, the finish being near the home stretch. This part of the track has been putin excellent condition for the race. Both horses have been trained for some time, and are in excellent condition for the test of speed. The officials who will have eharge of the race. judges and starter, are yet to be selected. “Tommy” Newby will ride “Little Boy”’ and W. J. Saunders of Hibbing, who has been mount- ed on “Curley” in all his import- ant races, will be in the saddle astride the sorrel. Much interest is being taken in the forthcoming race, and con- siderable money has been wager- ed on the result, Harris Makes Change. Bruce Harris, who for several years has been connected with the Crookston Lumber company, in the capacity of traveling sales- man, accepted a position with the Prince Albert Lumber company, of Prince Albert, Sas., Canada. He will not remove his family to Prince Albert until the first of the year.—Crookston Journal. Mr. Harris is well known in Bemidji, having lived here two years ago. ———— SPECIAL CARNIVAL DAYS ARE NAMED THE FOLLOWING DATES DURING THE STREET CARNIVAL TO BE HELD IN BEMIDJI AUGUST 14 TO 18 INCLU- SIVE, HAVE BEEN SET APART AS “DAYS:" AUGUST 15 . . . BLACKDUCK DAY -AUGUST 16 . . . . WALKER DAY AUGUST 17 . . . CASS LAKE DAY NEW JUDICIAL DITCH ORDERED Will Start Near Rosby and Will Drain to Big Wolt Lake. Roy Bliler and T. W. Swanson left this morning for Rosby and will begin the survey of the route for the new judicial ditch which was recentiy ordered construct- ed by Judge Spooner. The ditch will be made beginn- ing in Section 29, Town 146, Range 32, about six miles south- east of Bemidji and two and one- half miles north of Rosby, and will be continued through the slough to Grace and Alice lakes, and thence to Big Wolf lake. The construction of the ditch will be of great benefit to the land adjacent thereto, as it will drain - the farm lands in that vicinity and greatly enhance their value. Thisis one of but a few judicial ditches that have been built in this country, and farmers in that vicinity are jubilant at their success in gett- ing it built. Madden New Agent. S. F. Madden of Minneapolis is the new local agent for the Minneapolis Brewing company, succeeding John [7. Essler, who resigned the position several months ago. C. A. Muenzie of Minneapolis, auditor for the company, has been here since yesterday morning and is check- ing in the new agent and check- ing out the old. Mr. Essler will engage in other business, in the near future. Additional Locals M. M. Merrill of Staples, who represents the Smith Premier Typewriter company, was in the city today. Sam Hatfield, the Cass Lake barber, and his wife returned to their home last night, after visit- ing in Bemidji with friends yes- terday, Rev. Neil A. Gilchrist of Crookston, pastor-at-large of the Adams Presbytery, passed through the city this noon to points east. The Epworth league will give a social Friday evening at the close of the business session of the league, at the home of Mrs. Porter Nye. Typewriter ribbons of all standard makes, either record, copying or indelible, can be pro- cured in the color you wish at the Pioneer office. Ed. H. Strong, of Cavalier, N, D., and his brother H. Strong, of Mianeapolis, were in the city to- day and left this noon for points east. They have been spending a weelk at the Jester resort on {Linke Plantagnet. r.&“‘&-nmm Bl e e s B B e B j (Sooper to leave Nashville Reports from Nashville, Tenn., the field of L. T. Cooper’s work for the past three weeks, tell of a dem- onstration acclaiming the success of that young man that is without parallel in the history of the city. Cooper made the announcement a day or two ago that he was about to close his visit to the Tennessea city and since that time he has been fairly besieged at his head- quarters by a clamoring populace. Hundreds of Nashvillians have been relieved from long-standing illnesses by the use of this young man’s remedies and these, with many others who wished to see him before his departure, so block- ed and jammed the drug store where he has established his head- quarters that it was almost impos- sible to get either in or out. Cooper, it will be remembered, is the man who created such a_sen- sation at Mioneapolis, St. Paul, St. Louis, Milwaukee and other large cities of the central-western states about a year ago with his remarkable remedies. It is said that the relief his prep- arations afford is not confined to any one trouble, but that in cases of Stomach trouble, Kidney com- plaints, Catarrh, Rheumatism and Deafness his success has been uni- form. From the stories related in the Southern city people who have been afflicted for years have found relief throufih the use of this young man's remedies and he has won the gratitude of untold hundreds in Central and Eastern Teonessee, In the stories that have appearel of his work are mentioned the names of many people of promi- nence in Tennessee’s capital city. Among these was B, B. Lasater, liviog at 1224 North Fourth Ave- nue. Upon being interviewed in regard to the matter, he said: ‘‘For several years I was afflicted with a severe form of stomach trouble and with rhematism. My stomach was never in good condition and for the past few months almost anything I attempted to eat disagreed with me. Al times I had a_good appe- tite and again the sight of food would nauseate me I suffered a great deal of pain in the region of . the stomach’and was greatly both- ered by an accumulation of gas shortly after eating -anything. My rheumatism was also a source of great trouble. My arms were drawn and almost useless and large knots had formed on my hands and forearms which were exceed- ingly painful. I was persuaded by a friend to give the Cooper reme- dies a trial and have been using them for about three weeks. My stomach is in prime condition, T { am able to eat with a relish and suffer no after effects as I did a few weeks ago. The pain in my arms is gone and the muscles are relaxed and, growing stronger. You see those knots have almost disup- peared, and they are nbsolnm{’y without soreness. The effects of this medicine appear very wonder- ful to me as I have tried many rem- edies without receiving any notice- able benefit. T am more thaa’ grate- ful to Mr. Cooper and, like hun- dreds of others inthis city, feel that nothing I can do will quite express how I feel toward him.’’ The sale of Cooper’s preparations in Bemidji has been so large as to be regarded by many as phenomen- al and at E. A. Barker’s drug store, where the remedies are sold in this city there is sald to be a large demanddor them. GRAND RAPIDS ‘COMES SUNDAY Visitors Beat Fast Akeley Team Last Sunday in a Sixteen- Inning Game. Arrangements have been made for a game to be played here on Sunday between the Bemidji and Grand Rapids teams, and a battle royal is looked for. The Grand Rapids team played two of the best games with Akeley last Sunday that have ever been seen in the northwest. The Rapids players defeated Akeley in a sixteen-inning game, the longest contest on record among semi-professionals in the state this season. Score2to1. In a second game the same day, Grand Rapids lost to Akeley, the score being 3 to 1. Traveling men who saw the two games assert that they were the fastest that have been played in these parts this year. Grand Rapids has as pitchers Thorson, a south-paw formerly with theJDuluth Universal, Mil- lers, and their old stand-by, Jack Stafford. They sre playing great ball. The work of the locals at Hib- bing last Sunday has demon- strated that Bemidji hasa team thatis second to none n the state, and when the boys line up against the Rapids Sunday they will do their best to keep up the excellent work they did last week. The memory of the game with Akeley still rankles in the | breasts of a few ‘‘fans,’” but it must be remembered that the best ball players on earth occa- sionally have ‘‘off”” days. The work of Eddie Gilmore at third base in the Hibbing games has been given much favorable comment. The little fellow covered lots of territory and was in the game at all times, both with his bat and in the field. Gilmore is a favorite wherever he goes. Heis a quiet, gentle- manly player and a credit to any team. Hoover claims that Farley Le- Gore has found a new brand of chewing gum that makes. his “spit” ball a sure and safe weapon for opposition batsman. Those Hibbing fellows. have a wholesome respect for the ball with the saliva. The grounds at the new park are being filled in with dirt and otherwise improved so that they will be much faster, when com- pleted. About seventy-five loads of dirt are being placed about the diamond, the cement lines, which have caused so much trouble to the infielders, being entirely covered over, The regular Bemidji team will play agame wifh the Second nine at the ball park this evening, commencing at 7 o'clock. Having seen the article in the Duluth Herald concerning the ball games played at Hibbing, and having seen the games, allow me to state that every man on the Bemidji team deserves credit for playing good ball, and especially Merrill of Staples, who played first base. His home run in the first game brought in two men ahead of him, and he fielded well in both contests. A FAN, RACES PLANNED FOR SEPTEMBER Speedy Horses Will Trot on Bemidji Track This Fall. For some time past, local horse- men have been agitating the question of holding a series of races in Bemdji this fall, and now J. A. McAvoy, secretary of the Reltrami County Agricultur- al association states that the matter has taken such form that it has been decided to hold a Face meet here during the month of September. The exact dates for the meet have not yet been determined, but it-will be held the week following the races at Park Rapids. ) There will be three days of racing, and the events will be in - MISS BECKER IS IN FIRST PLACE Two Contestants inVoting Contest Make Big Spurts Today. Again the leader changes, and this time it is Miss Kate Becker who forges to the front.. In third place yesterday. she turn: ed in 8,500 votes today, and shot to the head of the list with a total of 5,500, : Miss Lela Solberg, who is still in second place, also made a strenuous spurt today, bringing in 2,350 votes. This almost brings her up to the top, but not quite, there being some 895 votes between. The time is drawing near to the close of the contest, there being a little over a week before the last money can be received, and the contestants are working every minute of their spare time, and have drafted a large list of friends to labor in their behalf, also. The result is a constantly growing surplus which will be turned in in larger and larger chunls as the excitement grows. The vote today stands: Miss Kate Becker. Miss Lela Solberg. Miss Dora Hazen.......... the classes from the 3-minute “goers’’ down to the speedy ones that have records of 2:20 and better. It is the intention of the Agri- cultural association to become a member of the circuit which in- cludes Park Rapids, Wadena, St. Cloud and other towns along the Great Northern south of Bemidji. Some of the very best horses in the state perform on this circuit, and among others that would probably be here are “Mixer,” the speedy pacer owned by Joe Eckert of Crookston, which was foaled here, and J. J. Jinkinson’s mare. - Secretary McAvoy has been given the contract to prepare the track and he will at once begin work at the grounds. It is his intention to make the course one of the best half-mile tracksin the north half of the state. There will be ample stable room, and full accommodations. In addition to excellent purses for trottin’y and pacing events, there will be liberal money hung up for special running races. Mr. McAvoy wil| gladly furnish further information concerning the meet to anyone who makes application to him. =au Henry, pastor resbyterian church of Philadelphia, is dead at Asbury Park, N.
