THE BEMIDJI DAILY PION VOLUME 4. NUMBER 176 BRADY MAY YET BE . GROOKSTON WINS EASILY ST, LOUIS SHERIFF| BY A SCORE OF 30 10 0 Corrupt Practice Act May Work Against the Sheriff-Elect, William Bates. CLAIMED THAT BATES AND ONE JACK MILES PUT UP “10B” Mr. Brady Is in Bemidji Today and Talks About His Chances. John D. Brady of Duluth was in the city today. He went to Funkley Saturday, with the in- tention of returning to this city tbe same night, but the train (freight) willed otherwise, and the “Colonel” was forced to re- main in the up-country town until this merning, when he returned t» Bemidji. Mr. Brady was a candidate on the democratic ticket for the oftice of sheriff of St. Louis county against William Bates. Considerable comment was caused before the primaries by te assertion that Mr. Bates en- tered into an agreement with one Jack Miles whereby the latter was to file for office of sheriffand to withdraw just in time to throw his following to Bates. For this act of kindness Miles, it is said, was to receive $500. A signed agreement to this effect was entered into between the two politicians. It is claimed that under the corrupt practice act thisagreement renders Bates iaeligable to bold office. This is the written opinion of tke attor- ney general and many of the aplest attorneys of the stat- Mr. Brady is second best in the vote getting contest and should Bates be declared ineligatle, Mr. Brady will be the next sheriff of St. Louis county, Parade. The La Barre Minstrel com- pany, which shows at the opera house tonight, will give a street parade immediat ly following the arrival of the M. & I train this evening. Watch for it. The Era of the Young. The present is certainly the “Era of the Young.” The world has seen the ‘'stone age,”’ the dark age,” ‘“the age of iron,” and now comes the “Age of Youth.” 01 all cides wa see the comparativ:ly young firsing o} the [ru:t, and forcing themselves into places where a few years ago it s7as thought could alone be filled by their elders; in fact, it is an open question whether a| young man is not “of age’ at 18 He is as able to cupe with the world at that age as his grand- ; father was st 21. The stage may be taken in poins. Recently one cf New York's principal theatres was cccupied by a play in which the leading rule was played by a child, Liitle Hazel; Shannon. The press and lhe; public were loud in praise of her wonderfal ability. This clever little girl will be seen in Harry Shannon’s powerful scenic com- edy, “The Binker’s Child,” sur-| rounded by a s‘rong company of players. Special scenery is used to properly mount the play, and adds t) the beauty of the sur- roundings Atv Opera House one | for want of tall timber. | unfurling to the winds her defiant ban- | my bralns out If we were not in the nightonly, November 13 Many Things Militated Against Bemidii Football Team---Did, Not Ex- pect Victory. The Bemidji high sehool foot- ball team was overwhelmed at Crookston Saturday by the Crookston high school eleven. by a score of 30 to 0. When the game was first ar- ranged, the Bemidji eleven was in fair shape, but on Friday Ralph Lycan, the big fullback, broke his shoulder blade while at practice and was out of the game. Another circumstance that militated against the team has been the lack of suitable material at the school during the fall term out of which to make a good team. Two other games have been played, one each with Grand Rapids and Cass Lake. The Cass Lake game was a tie, neither team being able to score. The Grand Rapids game went to Grand Rapids, score 12t0 0, In these games the eleven was al- lowed the use of some players not attending school. Crookston, however, insisted on a straight high school team, and the locals were very weak. They were out weighed and unacquainted with the new rules. War From a Thumb Bite. Perhaps the most portentous if in- mnocent lucldent in the proceedings leading up to England's war with: King Theodore of Abyssinia was—a thumb bite. The British consul was practically a prisoner -at his courf when Mr. Stern, a British missionary, called upon the “King of kings.” The first mistake of the Englishman was to seek an audierice immediately after the king had-dined’ tod:liberally with his court. The second was his chodsing as interpreters two utterly incompetent. men. The inefficiency of- this pair so angered the dusky monarch that then and there he ordered them to be beat- en. Mr. Stern, “unable to bear the sight, turned around and bit his thumb.” Now, he was not aware of it, but to bite the thumb is in Abys- sinia a defiance and a threat of venge- ance. The quick eye of the king caught the innocent menace, and he had the missionary also beaten. IFrom that sprang the war, the defeat of the forces of the king and his death by his own hand in his ruined city of Mag- dala.—London Standard: The Eternal Wilderness. We still have our “unmanstified” places. And there shall come to us a wilderness here and another there where now there s none, for every- thing moves In circles, which is not at all a new discovery, and the man wao today laments a dearth of the wilder- ness may live long enough to find him- self one day wielding an ax as dull as the pen he now bewails with—and for- ty miles from a grindstdne.

ROE @ MARKVSEN BEMIDJ1, MINNESOTA, MONDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 12, 1906. UNGLE SAM FINDS MANY MEN HERE FOR SERVIGE Bemidji One of Best Army and Navy Recruiting Points in the State. Three men were sworn in Sat- urday as recruits for the marines, the military branch of the United States navy, and will be sent to Mare Island, Cal, where they will be placed in the various companies of the service and given a chance to serve for Uncle Sam and visit many parts of the world. The recruits were Kneel Hayden of Wisconsin, George Lauritzan and John Hanson of lowa. Bemidji is one of the best points in the entire northwest for recruiting men for both the army and the navy. This city is the “hub” for the logging opera- tions of the north half of Minne- sota, and is the stopping place in the fall months of the men who work in the woods. Many of the men who hire out to lumber companies are induced to join either branch of the service, The “lumberjick” is a very de- sirable recruit. As a general thing, the men are strong and ex- cellent physical specimens of the recruit. Many hundreds of these men have been recruited here, and in but a few instances have any of them been rejscted. Lieutenant O, H. Dockery, Jr., of Duluth, in chargé of the northwestern recruiting offices for the army; and Lieutenant McNeil of St., Pa.ul, supannbend- ent for the piz: i expressed thei this place as o the sides of its ever that It I sort of an au. it 1 proved by the fact that grasshoppers, crickets, locusts and flies all have their ears situated In queer places—under the wings, on the middle of the hody and even on the sides of their legs. The common house fly does its hear- Ing by means of some little rows of corpuscles which are situated on the knobbed threads which occupy the place which are taken up by the hind wings of other species of insects. The garden slug or shelless snail has its organs of hearing situated on each slde of its neck, and the common grasshopper has them on each of its broad, flat thighs. In some of the smaller insects they are at the bases of the wings and in others on the bot- tom of the feet. Way of One Man. He was romantic, but bashful for his age. At twenty-five it is expected nowadays that a man should be matter of fact. She was his equal in romance, but a trifle older, old enough indeed to be a widow. The conversation had turned on the ever important subject of mothers-in-law. There was a lull in the argument. Gazing far, she sighed and said: “Ah, me! I shall never have another mother-in-law!” He looked at her with interest for a moment and then suddenly blurted out: “My mother dled when I was very young!” . It was an inadvertence, but he could not draw back. She threw herself into his arms, and they have lived happily— up to now.—New York Press. The Sheep Drives the Wolf, The wolf will perish, eaten up by the sheep. The sheep is not what a vain- glorious folk have imagined. The sheep presses forward, Irresistible, driving before him lions and tigers, driving before him man. Man? Yes, man.

The beginnings of astronomy were on the tops of towers of Babylon and the pyramlids of Egypt.; ‘It is believed by many writers that both classes of structure were erected for astronomical purposes. As early as the time of Job, mearly 2,000 years before Christ, most of the stars had been diyided Into con- stellations. The writer of Job men- tlons Arcturus, Orlon and Pleiades as belng familiar. The modern science dates from the labors of Copernicus, Tycho Blahe and Newton. o PR R AT Empty Longevity. “Pa, Methuselah lived to be very old, Bidn’t he?” “Yes, my son, about 9G9- years, I be- leve; put, then, as far as I can learn, there was just about as much doing per year In those days as there Is.in. five minutes now.”—Watson’s Maga-: | slne. A Rare Treat. n Friday, November 16 t,h people of Bemidji will be treat:d to something original in the way of an illustrated lecture entitled “A Tour in Ireland,” by Ri Roderick J, Mooaey of Trim College, Dublin, Ireland. As suggested by the title the lecture is both humorous and in- structive, and is illustrated by eighty especially good views of the most interesting and hijs- toric spets in Ireland, project§d from a powerful stereoptica: Mr. Mooney is a prominent member of the Masons and Elks and has given this lecture umtr their auspices in many of i larger cities and receives ‘many flattering comments from the leading newspapers of the day. He will appear in the Opera house Friday evening under the auspices of the new Episcopal church building fund committae, and those who fail to hear his eloquent discourse and see the beautiful and entrancing Irish scenery will certainly miss one of the greatest treats of the season, Adds to :Village Site. Baudetts Region: About ten blocks of land will be laid out at |y once on the Shevlin-Mathieu .mill site. Surveyor Bourgois is here and stirted the survey Tuesday. The blocks to be laid out are southeast from the mill and about a quarter of a mile from it, At the present they will be used for residences. It is a good thing for everybody to have more luts laid to give people a chance to locate permanently in town. Big Money Off Farm. Tenstrike Tribune: Carl Schleyer, of Hines, was in Ten- .| strike Monday with a wagon lgad wvegetables. Mr, Schleger, 1s us that this year be bad ten acres into -garden and hay weadow, and will realize in the sale of vegetables and hay about $800, or in other words, $80 per acre, He finds ready market for all his garden truck,at good prices. Mr. Schleyer is one of those industrious German farmers who know how to till the soil, and next year he ex- pects to have at least twenty acres under cultivation.” Spanish Politeness, It has been said that the French are the most polite peopie In the world, writes our lady correspondent.in San Sebastian, but 1 do not think any one who really knows them will agree. However, they bave some charming little ways, and when they are rude it is because they are deep down thor- oughly selfish. My personal opinion is that the Spaniard is about the most de- lightfully polite person one can possi- bly encounter. If you ask your way in the street of some ordinary woman, she will almost certainly go out of her waey to accompany you down the street and to carefully put you on the right road. They are very cheerful and gay, but they are never vulgar, as we un- derstand the word In England. Even the men In’ the streets who stand and frankly stare at.a pretty girl do it in a light hearted, pleasant way which . does not give offense. As to the man- ners of Spanish men belonging to the best society, they are almost perfect. Watch a Spanlard of distinction ad- dress his mother or any elderly lady and you will see a manner which Is tender and caressing and at the same time exquisitely protective. — London Tribune. An Unexpected Owner. Nearly all the giddy youth of the neighborhood attended the charity bazaar, and one by one they drifted to a stall where a tiny, shapely, scented gray kid glove reposed on a satin cushion. Attached to the cushion was | a notice written in a delicate feminine hand, which ran, “The owner of this glove ‘will, at 7:30 this evening, be pleased to kiss any person who pur- chases a sixpenny ticket beforehand.” Tickets were purchased by the score, and at 7:30 a long row of sheepish, not to say doggish, young bloods were as- sembled outside the stall. Then, punctual to the moment, old Tom Porson, the local pork butcher, who weighs twenty stone and is al- most as beautiful as a side of bacon, stepped to the front of the stall. “Now, young gents,” he said in his best “buy, buy, buy,” tones, “this ‘ere glove belongs to me. I bought it this morning. Now I'm ready for you. Come on, Don’t be bashful. One at a time!” But nobody’ came on.—London Tele- Kfll?h- e A Diference.

Mr. Bernard will examine the work which Surveyor Herron €1 has been doing in that vicinity this summer and get data which he expects to use at Washington this winter in the interests of drainsge for northern Minne- sota.

The programs for the North- western Minnesota Educational Association convention which, will be held in Crookston Nov- ember 15 and 16, Thursday and Friday of this week, have been received and show that the con- vention will have splendid erter- tainment and will include many interesting and beneficial features. Aftsr the visitors have arrived Thursday morning they will be given an opportunity of visiting the Crookston schools. The convention of county school officers under the direction of Superintendent Casey will also be held Thursday forenoen at the Congregational church be- ginning at 9 o’clock. Thursday afternoon there will be the general session of the association ¢ assembly room. Thursday evening, session will be held in the Congregation- al church. There will be an ad dress, “The Teacher’s Profes- sional Obligations,” by Professor Kennedy of the state university of North Dakofa, and an hour of sceial intercourse and entertain- ment and an educational exhibit.

Friday after- voon will be given over. to the round table discussions, and Friday evening the convention will close with a lecture, “A Con- gested City,”” by Professor W. A, Shoemaker of the St. Cloud normal. Gustafson on Woman. ' Charles Gustafson, proprieter of the Tenstrike Tribune, has evidently been observing the weakness of man along bibulous and other lines. In the last issue of his paper, he says: Yesterday we were asked if we ever saw a baldheaded woman. We answered ‘No,” we never did, nor did we ever see a woman waltzing around town in her shirt sleevcs with a cigar be- sween her teeth, and running nto every saloon she saw. We have never seen a woman go fish- ing with a bottle in her pocket, sit on the damp ground all day wnd come home drunk at mght. Nor haye we ever seen a woman vank off her coat and say she could lick any man in town. God bless her, she’s not built that way.” Mill Run Sunday Night. Tke Crookston Lumber com- pany’s sawmill was run last night, the first time the will has been operated on a Sunday for some time. The reason was that the management feared the logs would freeze in the pond and a shut-down would be necessary. The company is desirous ‘of running the mill just as long as it is possible to do 8o, in, order that a good stock of lumber may be laid in for the winter., It would take but little freezing weather to cause a shut-down, if every- thing was not moving along at the plant, and by running last night, a freeze-up was pre- vented. FOIEYSHMMIAR TEN CENTS PER WEEE Leads His Opponent by 117 vm- and . Throe Precincts Are Still | Out. = G. N. Official at Minneapolis Took Up Excursion Ticket. Forcing Her [} to Pay Cash. g LEE, SPRUCE GROVE, BENVILLE GIVE BAILEY 39, HAZEN 17 Mrs. Gamble was today noti- fied that the Great Northern rail- way had allowed her claim of $10 for money advanced on a train. for passage from Minneapolis to Bemidji, when her ticket had been confiscated. Mrs. Gamble attended the G, A. R. encampment at Minne- apolis last August, and with many others purchased an ex- cursion ticket, which probably has as much of the proverbial ‘“red tape’ about it as any other kind of a document issued to suffering humanity on occasions of that kind. In the due course of events, Mrs. Gamble started to return to Bemidji. When she went to pass through the gates at the Minne- apolis union depot, her -ticket was taken up and the fellow in charge would not return it. She got on the train without the necessary piece of pasteboard, with the result that she was compelled to pay out good ‘‘coin of the realm” for transportation to}Duluth and on to Bemidji. She took up the matter with the G. N. officials, with the result that she has been awarded the money paid out, after the usual amount of correspondence. County Canvassing Board Met Today and Adjourned Until Next Wednesday. Shenff Bailey, like Governor Johnson, doesn’t seem able to stop, once he gets fairly started. He now leads his opponent by a good, round 117 votes. Three more precincts have been beard from, and two of them, Lee and Spruce, give Bailey majorities; while the third, Benville, divides its vote equally. The ballots were cast in this fashion: Lee, Bailey 15, Hazen 0; Spruce Grove, Bailey 7, Hazen 0; Benville, 17 each. There are three precincts yet to be reported, Hamre, Turtle- and Minnie, and these will prob- ably give Sheriff Bailey the best of it. These figures are all unofficial and may be changed when the canvassing board opens the offi- cial returns. Thanksgiving Day.
