Meagher, Cochrane and An- and “Z.z\” are sad to have reached the height of perfection and human intarest, but the ring- ing triun.ph of the present thea- trical season is this new version of “Thelma”. Miss Corelli has chesen an exclusive field for her romaace. Its pretty love story is told against the back-ground of the land of the midnight sun, where the fierce animal nature of man asserts itself more than in the sunnier climes, and the tale of the lily maid of the Alten- fjord and her manly English smt- or, Sir Phillip Errington, is pres- ented in a manner never before shown to an American audience. Mr. Goodhue’s dramatization is said to be the sensation of the year. Smith-Hand Wedding. Miss Edith Smith and Mr. -C.

It is not expected that the grand jury will complete its labors this week, and the outlook is good for the term continuing ow into July. A Horny-Handed Farmer. Since he quit the blacksmith business as a regular vocation, he is taking front rank as a tiller of the soil— a tickler of mother earth, as it were. Dan has 160 acres of a ‘“farmstead” on the west shore of Lake Plantagnet, where he is giving practical demonstrations of how a hustler can make things grow some, when properly planted. He has putin eighty acres of corn,wheat, oats, potatoes and clover, to say nothing of raising a large family of chickens and incidentally watching the fish in the lake. Mr. Winebrenner has his family on his claim, and every- thing about the place indicates that Dan means business in his farming. Such determination means success, and we look for one of the best farms in the county, out Dan’s way, in the not distant future.

Even the gallery gods enthuse, ’tis said, at the startling situa- tions and exciting climaxes. It is romantic to the very backbone, though the title fails to suggest it. Belaseco long ago became famous as the past master of stage realism, His “DuBarry” This office was pleased to re- ceive, this week, a copy of the Centralia, (Wash.) Chronicle, a sprightly all home print weekly paper the size of the Pioneer Journal. At the head of the editorial page is the name of Thomas H. Moodie as editor,and on every other page,in fact, there is evidence to that effect. Tom’s many old Wadena friends will wish him the best success, and the Pioneer Journal can state without equivocation, because it taught him the game, that it would be hard to find a better news gatherer ora more bright or graceful newspaper writer than he. Tom is mow getting old enough to settle down and use his talents intelligeatly and wisely, and we have no doub- but what he will. —Wadena Piont eer-Journal. Tom Moodie was city editor of the Pioneer, three years agn,and he made the paper fairly bulge out at the sides with live matter that was up-to-the-minute,.

L, rail- way, has been in _this vicinity during the past three days, Mr. Hardin says that his line is doing a nice business on freight thatis consigned from Bemidji and towns whereabouts, and he does not hesitate to say that Bemidji is in the front rank of the progressive cities of the north half of the state. a few years will undoubtedly be second in this respect to no county in the north half of the! state. During the past year, many creamery projects have been started, and in every instance the enterprises have proved to be winners, and of great matenal‘ aid in developing the county. The Bagley Creamery Associa- tion this morning formally open- | ed its new creamery in this vill-| age and the event marked the} beginning of Bagley as a cream- | ery center. The new creamery has a capa- city for making 1,000 pounds of high-class butter daily, and the first butter was made today. The following -are the officers of the association: President, E. H. Reff.

P, Jenson, one of he best known buttermakers in state, and the association is assvred of a high-class product from the creamery. The company is incorporated for $5,000 capital, of which amount $2,500 has already been paid in, and it is probable that that sum is all that will be neces- sary to be paid in for the success- ful operation of the creamery. In addition to the Bagley creamery, there are already 3 creameries being operated in this (Clearwater) county, there being plants at Leon, Weme and Gounvick. All are using the lat- est improved machinery and are being operated to their utmost capacity. They are co-opera- tive enterprises, which plan of operation is proving highly suc- cessful. y Died at Cass Lake. Cass: Lake, June 7.—(Special to the Pioneer)—Mrs. H. F.

J. Russell Advises Settlers to Stay on Claims and File Before Commissioner. Big Fork Compass: Pat Rus- sell, the well-known Bemidji at- torney who makes Jand cases a specialty, was here Friday night on business. He says settlers will be very foolish to go to Cass Lake when the new towns opan, when they can stay on their claims and file before aland com- missioner. Possession of the and is nine 7 oints of the law, he says, and the fellows who join land rushes on opening days are usually settlers who are afraid they cannot make good, if they are contested. The law gives a settler 90 days in which to file after a town opens, and an honest settler shows poor .judgment to to get mixed ap in a land rush, where serious blunders are bound to occur, when he can make his filings with care and peace iu his home town.

The entercainment given at the City Opera House last evening by the Damon’s Culored Musical company was one of the finest concerts that has ever been pro- duced in a-local theater. The company numbers twelve people, six ladies and six gentlemen. and every one ot the twelve is an artist. The program consisted of ensemble choruses, with in- strumental accompaniment;vocal and instrumental selos, duets, trios and ensemble numbers that were rendered in the very high- est manner: The great Damon amply sus- tained his reputation as being the peer of any living colored violin and cello soloist in the en- tire country., Hedisplayed won- derfol ability in his solos on these instruments and was ap- plauded to the echo. He is cer- tainly a musician o/ rare merit Madam Daman, the soprano soloist, posses a rare voice of great volume and range, and she uses her marvelous singing a- bility with great effect. The other members of the company have been selected with especial care as to their musical ability, with the result that Damon has the strongest colored company on the road today. Jeff Webb and Charlie Ed- wards, in their comedy sketches are mirth-provokers par excel- lence, and they were recalled many times. Their dancing was very clever and difficult to per. form, ; Should this company ever a- gain appear in Bemidii they can be assured of a packed house, as they are a very meritorious or- ganization of ladies and gentle men.

Jerry Evans, an employe of the Dan- lels Linseed Oil company, Minneapolis, was instantly killed' by being struck by a Street car. Plans for the erection of 280 coke ovens at Joliet, Ill, are announced. The Illinois Steel company will ex- pend $2,300,000 on this industry in the next twenty-one months. Despite rumors in the iron and steel market abroad as well as in this coun- try a canyass of the industry warrants the statement that the last half of 1907 and the first half of the year 1908 will witness the largest producing ca- pacity in the history of the United States and Canada. BEMIDJI FAILED IN GETTING GONVENTION Alexandria Secured the 1910 Meeting of the Minnesota State Fire De- partment Association. OWATONNA WAS SECOND IN THE RACE AND BEMIDJI THIRD Winning City Had Big Delegation and Ban'dn-Bemidii Receives Very Favorable ‘Mention. E. H. Cornwall, J. J. Dsran and Garry Brennan, delegates of the Bemidji fire department to the annual meeting of the State Fire Department at St. Cloud, re- turned home last evening, Chief Geil went from St, Cloud to Mia- neapolis, where he had; some urgent business matters to look after. = The boys report that they had a fine time, and that the meeting was the most largely- attended and enthusiastic of any convention yet held, There were present about 3,000 fire- men, and 750 of these were en- rolled and in attendance as elect- ed delegates from the various fire departments of the state. In the matter of landing the 1910 convention for Bemidji, the boys state that Alexandria and Owatonna were entirely too strong for them. Both places had large delegations in attend- ance, i_ucluding their entire fire departments, big- brass bands and baseball teams, to say noth- ing of private citizens and spokes- mau of note “galore.” As it was, this city received very favorable mention,and many jof the delegates present stated that had they known sooner that Bemidji was in the field they would have voted for us, but they had pledged their votes and could not honorably change them at this late date. The Alexandria department agreed to .upport Bemidji for the 1911 convention, and it is more than likely that we will get it for that year, GROOM HAD NO LIGENSE; THE WEDDING POSTPONED An lowa Attorney Is Placed in Embar- rassing Position at Cass Lake. Cass Lake, June 7.—(Special to the- Pioneer.)—Attorneys oc- casionally get mixed upin mat- rimonial matters. This was evi- denced Wednesday night, when Paul H. Jorgeron, an attorney from Iowa, came to Cass Lake to to take by matrimony one of Cass Lake’s lassies, in the person of Miss Mary Dwyer. — The wedding was to take place at 8 and everything was in readi- ness. The many invited guests had assembled at the Dwyer home. The village band was in waiting outside. The charivari party was “in readiness with pans, tubs, bottles and bricks, The minister arrived; the bride- groom, clad in most beautiful at- tire, was soon to be no more in single blessedness. The minister approached the happy groom and asked for his license. The groom could not under- stand. He had come from Iowa, where the license for marriage was not 1n vogue; but the minis- ter, in obedience to the laws of the church and the state of Min- nesota, was obliged to depart without tying the nuptial knot. The groom consulted his law- books; then he consvited his friends; then he thought of get- ting a special train to Walker to get the necessary license, but next decided to go to Bemidji, accompanied by the bride-to-be, get the license and get married. This was done, and then they hired a team of horses and ar- rived at the Dwyer home at 2 a. m., n time to be congratulated by the patiently waiting guests.
