The little girl has always en- joyed the best of health, and it was not until last Sunday morn- ing that she evinced any signs of being ill. She was taken with a vomiting spell during Sunday, and that evening complained of a pain in her side. Her condition remained about the same until late Monday, when the pain be- came very acute, and on Tuesday. she was taken from her home to St. Anthony’s hospital in this city, where an operation was per- formed. The surgeon found — that the appendis had been ef- fected for some time, and that there would be small hope, if any, of her recovery- Mrs. Bow- ers and her daughters, Frances and Anna, were with the little sufferer at the hospital until she passed to the great beyond. The funeral services will be held in the Catholic church room, Sunday afternoon, at 2 o’clock, and Rev, Fr. O’'Dwyer will offici- ate. The body will be mterred i in Greenwood cemetery. Ellen Bowers was born at Tin- tah, Minn., March 9, 1893, and | came to Beltrami county with 3 her parents in 1898, when the il latter moved to their homestead, { in Section 13, Town of Fckles, ten miles northwest of Bemidji, i where they still reside. | Ellen possessed & very kindly and loveable disposition. She was what is often called an i ‘‘oldish-acting” child and was the 1 ““mother” of the entire school of { little folks near her home. She i will be greatly missed by tbe H members of the Bowers family and by her companions. | 3-8 51 o1 S S i 2BTO - ot 1830 - .

Prof. Symington of Bemidji, i has applied for a position as di- rector of the Grand Forks mili- tary band which is the successor i to the Grand Forks city band and his application will be con- H sidered at the meeting of the band on next Monday evening,— Crookston Times. Judging from the above, one would be led to believe that Prof. Thomas Symington, whe has been the leader of the Bemidji band and orchestra during the i past year and a half, had made | application to lead the *Forx” | band. The Pioneer interviewed | Mr. Symington relative to the matter, this forenoon, and that gentleman said, in response to inquiries: ‘‘I have never made an applica- R tion to lead the band over there.

The re-election of Harl Geil as chief of the Bemidji fire depart- ment recalls the fact that this will be the sixthconsecutive year in which Mr. Geil has acted as chief, During the six years that Mr. Geil has been in charge of the fire department, a championship banner has been won by the rune ning team of the department at the firemen’s tournaments. In two different instances the championship has been twice in succession, and the banners have become permanent property of Bomidji firemen and now adorn the walls of their assembly room. There was only one year that the team did not win first place in the championship race, Ths is & record of which any chief may well be proud, urt Ass'n investigalion cf A all Pure Food Commissicas. g'\ < k) S M St. Louis, U.
