MIKNESOTA HISTORICAL THE BEMIDJI DAILY PIONEER: VOLUME 4. NUMBER 187 BEMIDJ1, MINNESOTA, THURSDAY? EVENING, NOVEMBER 29, 1906. . TEN CENTS PER WEEE BEMIDJI CELEBRATES THANKSGIVING TODAY Turkey Dinners, Public Worship, and a Full or Half Holiday, the Program. PRISONERS AT THE COUNTY JAIL GENEROUSLY REMEMBERED o'clock today is the Markham hotel. Manager Lycan has pre- pared a sumptuous repast, and is expecting a large crowd. Thanksgiving will be duly cele- brated today in the county jail. There will be feasting after the good old custum, and many of the sixteen prisoners now in charge of Sheriff Bailey will doubtless fare better than if they were outside of prison walls. It is a rule with Sheriff Bailey every year to give the men who must spend their time behind Big Feast and Extra Privileges Arelthe bars a fine old-fashioned Given in Honor of the Occasion. Thaunksgiving will be fittingly celebrated in Bemidji today. There will be worship at the Baptist church, when several of the local churches will join in Union services; there will be family re-unions, in many in- stances, and in a large share of the homes of the city, there will be a Thanksgiving turkey and a' big dinner, To make the day more like the real day of thanks it should be, most of the places of business will close at noon, and give their employes a half-hohday. Several| of the business houses, such as the banks, and all the putlic] offices, have been closed this morning, and there will be nothing doing all day. The program for the day with| the greater number of good citizens is to eat and visit or read, and this evening a large number will attend the dance given at; the Masonic hall by the Bemidji Dancing Club, an invitation affair. i The greator share of the big dinoers will be served at noon, | or at 12:30 or 1 o’clock, although many will not partake of Thanks- giving turkey until the supper:; | diminutive ~as well as affords a great con- turkey dinner on Thanksgiving, and the menu this year will be similar to that on former occa- sions of the kind. There will be turkey, of course, and there will be cranberry sauce. Then there will be mashed potatoes ‘and jother vegetables; and last, but not least, there will be pumpkin pie, rich and luscious, and large pieces at that. After the dinner the prisoners will probably indulge in a con- cert. Among the sixteen now in . jail, are three who play the violin and two who play the accordion, besides several singers of more or less sweetness of voice. The musicians are for the most part Tadians, of which there are sixin! the bastile. ““The Boy in Red.” A small boy, dressed in a with overcoat and~cap to match, is the novel advertising scheme adopted by E.

CASS LAKE MAN FINED FOR ILLEGALLY SELLING FISH William Kirchhot Is Brought to Justice by the Local Game Warden. William Kirchhof of Cass Lake was yesterday conyicted of sell- ing whitetish illegally and paid a fine of $10 and costs. The conviction was secured by A. G. Rautledge, the Bemidji game warden, and the official presented such strong argu- ments to Kirchhof that the latter plead guilty, not caring to stand trial on the charge. It appears that Kirchhof had soid some whitefish to a firm in Hibbing, giving the Hibbing people a receipted bill for the fish. This receipted bill was all the evidence that the warden had to work on, but he made the most of it. Homesiek Spencer. ‘When Herbert Spencer was a boy his father sent him away from home to school. The youngster became home. sick and, with 2 shillings in his pocket, made his way home, over 120 miles, in three days, walking most of the way. : He did forty-eight miles the first day and forty-seven on the second. On the third day a friendly coach driver took him most of the way tor nothing. Mistook His Destination.

'GOLDBERG This gives you an WISH TO FIND ORIGIN AND MEANING OF NAMES The Minnesota Hiatoficfil Society Seeks Information From You on Names. The Minnescta Historical So- ciety is seeking the origin aund meaning of names of places in the county and the Pioneer in assisting in this work asks of its readers to send in the informa- tion asked and from time to time the same will be pyblished. This in turn will be taken by the Historical society and used in statistical form. ; The Minnesota Hiétorical so- ciety is seeking for jinformation concerning the origin and mean- ing of the names of, the town- ships, villages, postoffices, rail- way stations, rivers, creeks, lakes, and the hills or bluffs n the county. When the name is for some early settler or other person a statement is desired as to the place where he was bern and the date, also the year when he came to Minnesota and when he settled in the county. For any name of Indian: origin the meaning or significance of tre name is desired and for other names that seem to, have some peculiar significance when they were applied. The Pioneer has volunteered to help obtain this information from their patrons and will pub- lish in each issue, the answers received from the subscribers throughout the county on the origin and meaning of the different names. Everyone is invited to send in any name of which he knows the origin, or to send in a query asking why the name was applied. - Such names as Buena Vista, Puposky, Quir- ing, Teunstrike, Baudette, Wa- banaca, etc., are unusual, in a way, and it is expected that many people will be interested as there are many old settlers in the county who iived here before the names were used. All answers or inquiries should be addressed to the Bemidji Pioneer and they will be promptly pub lished in the columns of the paper. Her Opportunity.

Up to this time last year Sherifi Bailey had on his books 213 different names of men who had served time in the jail; this year up to today there are just 189. There have been more commitments that this, just as last year there were more com- mitments than the figures given, but 189 represents the actual number of individual prisoners.
