To all inquirers he declared that he had captured the monster fish in Popple Lake, but upon investi- gation it was learned that this handsome specimen of the rare and coveted muskellunge had been shipped along with a weighty pike to the gallant ‘“kernal” from Bemidji by his old time friend, A. Aubole of that place. The fish was a beauty and attracted attention at every stage of the ‘‘parade.” Opening Today._ The formal opening of the new Berman Emperium was held to- day, and the store was crowded both forenoon and afternoon.

Monster Many Feet in Length Probably no -other medicine ever sold in this country has aroused the same amount of dis- cussion as Cooper,;,s New Dis- covery, the preparation’intro- duced in the leading cities dur- ing the last two years by L. T. Cooper, the young philanthropist. Cooper claims that most stomach trouble is caused by in- ternal parastes or tape worms and that his medicine will drive these creatures from the human system almost immediately. Thousands of people in the various cities visited by Mr. Cooper bave talken this prepara- tion for chronic stomach trouble and have been relieved of one of these creatures. In consequence his medicine has sold like wild- fire wherever introduced. Mr. O. C. Dunkman, of 819 Charlotte St., Cincinnati, Ouio, case of this charscter. “For months I have been troubled with a drowsy listless feehng.

The boys and girls of the high school have organized the Bemidji High School Athletic asgociation, to have general direction over all the school athletics. The organ- ization has been perfected with the adoption of a constitution and the election of officers. Shirley Knox has been chosen as president of the association, Clarence Shannon as vice-presi- dent, Rollie Dwyer as secretary, and the duties of treasurer are placed on Miss Ivis Roberts. One of the first things done by the association was the adoption of colors for the school. Two shades of blue were selected; dark blue for athletic suits, and light blue for decorating. The association has charge not only of the football team but of the girls’ basketball team, also. The Jater has been organized with Miss Grayling as coach. For a beginning four teams have been started, one from each high school class, and it is the inten- tion to select a general school team from the best players as| developed in the inter-class games. GRAVE AGRARIAN DISORDERS INHABITANTS OF SEVENTY ViL LAGES PARTICIPATING IN THE UPRISING. St. Petersburg, Sept. 27.—Grave agrarian disorders have broken out in the province of Viatka, the center of disturbance being the important ‘dis- trict of Malmuish, with a population of over 100,000, where, according to the reports received, the inhabitants of seventy villages have joined in the up- rising, have disarmed and expelled the police and are pillaging and de- stroying the residences of the land- owners and devastating the country. It is rumored at Viatka that the ad- ministrative police chiefs in the Mal- muish district and eight of their sub- ordinates have been killed. The ex- cesses began Sept. 20 with a riot over the enrollment of army reserve men for their autumn service. At the vil- lage of Multania a mob of peasants at- tacked the enrollment station, killed a sergeant and six rural policemen, mor- tally wounded the assistant police chief of the district and destroyed the lists of reserve men. The Vibarg manifesto is thought to be more di- rectly responsible for the disorders than anything else. circulation in Viatka province and its exhortation to the peasants to refase to perform military service was spread by the members of the outlawed par- liament from Viatka. Official’s House Wrecked. Helsingfers, Finland, Sept. 27.—A second bomb was thrown during the night against the residence of Captain “Albrecht, commander of the police, following the unsuccessful - attempt made early Tuesday morning to blow up the police reserve barracks. The captain’s house was wrecked, there was no loss of life. Duluth Wheat and Flax. Duluth, Sept. 25.—Wheéat—To arrive —No. 1 Northern, 76; 0. 2 North- ern, 747%c.

FOOTBALL NOW KING AT THE HIGH SCHOOL Student Eleven to Play Cass Lake Oct. 2, on Cass Lake Grounds. BOYS ARE PRACTICING HARD UNDER DIRECTION OF A COACH Are Planning on a Number of Games This Fall With Schools in Neigh- boring Towns. The football team of the Be- midji high school will play its first game of ball this season with the Cass Lake high school, a week from next Saturday, at Cass Lake. .Full arrangements have been made by the local High School Athletic association and Pro- fessor Ritchie, final word being received yesterday. It was the desire of the Bemidji school to use only student players, bus Cass Lake found it impossible to get up an eleven without bring- ing 1 . several about-town players, so that the local line-up for this one game, at least, will include two or three boys who are not students. The boys are practicing hard for the contest and hope by October 6 to get into fairly good early-season form. A large squad is out in uniform every afternoon after school on the schoolbhouse yard, and life is be- ling made miserable for the pig- skin, Collins, the star right-fielder on the local baseball team, has been engaged as coach, and is rapidly getting his men'into trim. ‘Several of the players are ex- perienced al the game, and he is finding this in his favor, while the green material is promising. Robert Richardson is captain of the team and will play the right half-back position. The rest of the line-up will probably be as ifollows: Helmer Kruse, ight' end; James Dangerfield, :§1g kle; Johnnie Miles, right guard; Jesse Barnett, center; Raymond Kreatz, left guard; George Ellitson, left tackle; Olaf Hundrom, left end; Rollie Dwyer, quarter-back; Tharles Gould, full-back; Ralph Lycan, left half- 'back, The line-up as given is a straight school team, but for the Cass Lake game and other games where town players are used, G. Peterson will probably be called on to play full-back, Frank Summers to handle the ball at quarter, and Coach Collins - wil undoubtedly lend strength to the back field by playing one of the half positions. It 1s the intention to arrange games with Grand Rapids, Park Rapids, Akeley, and other high school teams. Races Tomorrow. Tomorrow is the opening day of the Bemidji race meet, which | continues Saturday and Sunday. Some of the best horses in the state have been ertered and the management is figuring on large crowds and a most successfal wmeet. The races will be worth seeing all three days.
