o B Ty THE BEMIDJI DAILY PION VOLUME 5. NUMBER 118. BEMIDJI, MINNESOTA, SATURDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 7, 1907. HISTORICAL MINNESOTA SOGIETY. FORTY CENTS PER MONTH WLL POLICE PORTS France and Spain to Occupy Mo roccan Coast Towns. POWERS APPROVE THE PLAN Although It Is Stipulated That Such Occupation Is Only Provisional the Opinlon Is General That It Will Last Indefinitely. Paris, Sept. 7.—A most important change, the Assoclated Press is in- formed, has occurred in the political | aspect of the Moroccan question, a change which may have a farreaching effect on the future of Morocco and the relations of the powers thereto.| France and Spain have the intention to occupy the littoral pdits of Morocco with their own forces and establish police organizations. This contem plated action results from the official announcement of the Moroccan gov: ernment, through the war minister El Gabbas, that it is unable to guar antee the safety of the European in: structors of the international police force, which, under the terms of the Algeciras convention, was to be com posed of Moors. The dilemma of France and Spain, who by the terms of the Algeciras convention are com pelled to organize the internationas police force, was submitted to the sig | natory vowers, including the United | States, and they all agreed that the situation demanded that France and Spain police Morocco themselves. Al theugh it is distinctly stipulated that such occupation is merely provisional, or until it is safe to recruit the police from among the Moors, there is a strong feeling that the absolute an- archy reigning in Morocco means that this occupation of the ports may be | long drawn out, perhaps lasting in- definitely. Moreover the occupation of the ports may cause serious com- plications, resulting from the contin- ued hostility of the fanatical Moors, a possibility which may compel an en- largement of the police action and culminate in a virtual military control | of the Moroccan empire. This, how- ever, will depend on the attitude of the Moors. France has planned to occupy Maza- gan, Mogador, Safi end Rabat and| Spoin is to occupy El Araish and Tetuan. France and Spain together will occupy Casa Blanca and Tangier. Arrangements for the policing of these ports are now being made. HARRY GALVERT SPINS A FEW CHUNKS POETRY Clever Bit of Verse on *‘Who Invented Work?"---Appropriated by the Pioneer. Harry Calvert is said to be respon- sible for the following piece of verse, anent “work.” We will not vouch for the author- ship of the poem, but Harry would probably stand for it: "WHO INVENTED WORK." When did it begt Was it Adam’s sin? Did it cause the row .twixt Cain and Abel? Noah, Ham or Shem Was it made by them? Or was It first thought about at Babel? Carrylng a hod, Digging up the sod, Pounding on an anvil till it's dented— Who o all the mob First was on the job? When and where and how was work Invented? T often wonder who it was that thought about, 1t first; ‘Who figured out this Industry that most of us have cursed— Was It a Dutchman, was it a Greek, Was it a Malay, or Jap mild and mec! Wasit an Englishman, Irishman or Tur Who was the man that first invented work?

I wonder who he was, and where Le lived, what was his name? It's nice to know that he has not come down tous In fame. Was he a Perslan, was he a Mede? Was he a Vandal, Goth or a Swede?

St. Paul Pioneer Press: A little more than one-half of the applicants for teachers certificates, whose papers have just been marked by a corps of readers in the department | of public instruction, received a score high enough to entitle them to cer- tificates. The tabulated returns of the examinations showing that there were 6,916 applicants and that of this number 3,521 received certifi- cates. There were 30,368 examina- tion papers and of those 20,109 re- ceived the percentage necessary for passing, and 10,256 failed to reach that mark. The certificates issued were di- vided in the following classes: First grade, five years 628: conditional first grade, one year, 269; second grade, two years, 1,511; conditional second grade, one year,542; limited second grade issued to candidates without experience, one year, 570.

Bowen of Bemidji, private in Com- pany G, 2nd Michigan Volunteers. MENTIONED AS CANDIDATE FOR VIGE PRESIDENGY Considerable Talk Throughout the State Favorable to Senator Clapp tor Republican Nomiation. There is considerable earnest talk around the state of pushing Minne- sota’s claim to a place on the National ticket and it is believed in many quarters that if this state will go after the vice presidency there is a good prospect of winning it. The Mississippi Valley and the great country to the west would seem to be in line for recognition from the national convention, but it will not do to have merely a passive candidate for the place; there must be aggressive work all along the line if such a movement is to succeed. Much comment favorable to Senator Moses E. Clapp as Minne- sota’s candidate for vice-president may be heard all over the state and itis not at all impossible that a definite movement, looking to an aggressive candidacy, may be inau- guarated by the Republican party of the state, with Senator Clapp as the central figure. Such a campaign, if in the right hands, would make the popular senator a formidable factor in the race, with excellent chances of securing the position. Marriage Licenses.

C. F. SCHEERS OF THE AKELEY TRIBUNE WILL BRING RARE COW Animal Has Five Legs.---Many Other Features Being Secured by Fair Management, Present indications point to a most the coming fair to be held in Bemidji Septemder 26-28, and it is certain that the speediest bunch of roadsters ever before assembled in the north half of the state, will be here at that time. The St. Louis County Fair associ- ation will hold a fair and race meet at Hibbing September 20-21-23, and the purses offered there are very liberal. As the Bemidji meet com- mences but four days after the Hibbing races, it is certain that the larger percentage of the horses that race at Hibbing will come to Bemidji to participate in the contests to be held here at that time. Secretary Rutledge returned yes- terday from a visit to St. Paul and Minneapolis, where he interviewed several horsemen who were attend- ing the state fair, a number of whom stated they would come to Bemidji. Among the horsemen who signi- fied their intention of participating in the meets at Hibbing and Bemidji is Robert Salter of Minneapolis. Salter is the owner of “Bill Bailey,” the fastest horse in the northwest this year. “Bill Baiiey” lowered the state Record of North Dakota at the fair at Grand Forks, recently, and the next week took a second of that record, at Fargo, making the “Flickertail” harness record as it stands now under 2:10. Mr. Salter stated that he would bring “Bill Bailey” to Bemidji for the free-for-all, and hoped that there would be sev- eral other speedy onesin the entries, as he desired to show the north- country people some “going.” Salter also owns'‘George H. Ray,” the pacer that made such a fine showing in the races held here last year. successful race meet during The management of the Bemidji fair is making every effort to secure attractions for the forthcoming fair —especially unusual freaks and other sights worth coming to see. Along this line, arrangements will be made to exhibit here the famous “Akeley Tribune Cow,” a five-legged animal that is a real curiosity. The Akeley Tribune says of the cow and her calf: “Among the side attractions at the Hubbard county fair to be held Sept. 11-12-13 will be the Akeley Tribune five-legged cow and her calf, some six weeks old. “The cow is a wonderful animal. The fifth leg protrudes from her back and she appears to handle it without any incovenience whatever. She is even more shrewd than the average cow. Her calf was about three weeks old before it could be located, although she came up each evening with the herd. “She outwitted a dozen or more boys, who were offered a tempting .| reward for the recovery of the calf. James Dooley, telephone constructor for the Red River Lumber Co., finally captured the calf. The five legged cow appears to be the leader of the herd and evidently has hypno- tised Dooley’s cow, which readily consents to the young calf partaking of her creamy milk after draining the contents of its mother’s udder. Dooley, of course, considers it a hugh joke, even if he does lose a gallon of milk each day. “The Tribune has received several tempting offers for the fivelegged cow by show managers, but he turned them all down. “Visit the county fair and see this freak.” Moved to Grand Rapids. W. L. Preble has gone to Grand Rapids in the interest of the Red River Lumber company. This company has some 25,000 acres of timber land in that vicinity, upon which Mr. Preble will estimate the timber and prepare for the cutting. The company will establish small mills for the purpose of cutting their pine into squared timber, after which it can be shipped to their large mills at Akeley at the rate of the manufactured - product’ which saves them big money in the trans- portation of the “raw material.” DOINGS IN THE VARIOUS GHURGHES OF THE GITY Hours of Worship and Subjects of Ser- mons to Be Delivered in the City Tomorrow.

The state Pasteur institute for which the last legislature provided appropriation of $5,000, has been in operation for a week, and now has six patients under treatment. Two of the patients are small children whose home is in Minneapolis and who were bitten Monday by a fox terrier that was killed on Franklin avenue near the Milwaukee tracks. The other four are from different parts of the state. For the sake of the greatest con- venience to patients, the institute has been established in connection with the state bacteriological labora- tory in the handsome new building at the University of Minnesota, known as the Institute of Public Health and Pathology. Dr. Ora McDaniel, a young woman who has been in the state laboratory for several years and has made a special study of rabies and its treatment, is in charge of the institute and will give her entire attention to its work. The institute began its work last Friday, when three patients from out of town were enrolled for treat- ment, but long before that the officers of the state board of health received applications from persons who had heard of the plans of the board and supposed that the insti- tute was in operation. As early as June 21st a man who had been bitten by a rabie dog arrived in Minnea- polis, after having traveled from Mandan, N. D., but it was then impossible to treat him here. The pasteur treatment in itself does not involve hospital care, and as practiced at the Minnesota state institute it does not include any- thing of the kind. It consists simply of inoculation every day for two weeks with the virus and unless the patient is so disabled by his wounds as to be unable to move about, he is expected to go to the institute for treatment. The neces- sity for daily inoculation of each patient will make it necessary for Dr. McDaniel to be at the .institute every day of the week including Sunday. The Virus for use in the Minnesota institute is prepared in its own labratory and therefore it will be independent of any outside source of supply. — Minneapolis Journal. an Warrants Payable.

PASSENGERS HELD UP Masked Men Rob Occupants of Rock Island Chair Car. SHERIFF’S POSSE IN PURSUIT Bandits Secure Large Collection of Pocketbooks and Purses at the Point of Revolvers and Escape From the Moving Train. Omaha, Sept. 7—The Omaha and Texas express on the Rock Island road was raided just before daylight near Murdock, Neb., by three masked men. The robbers went through the chair car, robbing every passenger therein, securing their pocketbooks and purses, covered the train crew with revolvers and escaped by jumping from the train. Railroad detectives and sheriff’s posses are in pursuit, but the robbers have several hours’ start on the offi- cers. The robbers were passengers on the train. Shortly after leaving Mur- dock the mep arose in their seats, their faces covered with masks and, with revolvers in each hand, covered the passengers. Then the leader or- dered everybody to keep still and not to resist else they would be shot. Two men went down the aisle with hats in hand, while the third kept the passengers covered. All passengers were ordered to throw pocketbooks into the hats and this was done. The conductor appeared in the car with a pistol in his hand, but was promptly covered with four guns and forced to drop his revolver. After getting all he money in the car the robbers jumped from the train, which had slowed down for a grade. An attempt was made to enter the sleeper section, but the door was locked and the attempt was unsuc- cessful. The search and pursuit is being prosecuted vigorously. WATGHFUL EYE SHOULD BE KEPT FOR ROBBERIES This Is the Season When the Knight of the Jimmy, With Explosives, Is Abroad. During the past week, several bold robberies have been committed in the country west of Bemidji, in North Dakota, in each instance the methods pursued by the robbers indicating that a gang of profes- sional safeblowers are again operat- ing in the northern tier of states. Last year, a bunch of ‘bad actors” robbed safes at Crookston, Akeley, Mentor and several other towns but a short distance from Bemidji, but the thieves “steered clear” of this city, as a close watch was kept by the police, and every suspicious look- ing character was “hunched” out of town on double-time orders. While the Pioneer does not de- sire to create fear in the hearts of our citizens, a word of warning may not be out of place, relative to the possibility of a visit from the “yegg- men.” Bemidji is admirably situated as a place of rendezvous for operations of men who intend to committ robberies in the north half of the state. This city is the division point of rail- ways running north, seuth, east and west,and any point could be reached from here. The plans adopted by men who are safe-blowers and hold-up“‘artists” are such that they could quite easily be carried out here, unless extra vigilence is exercised by the police and citizens generally. It would be well for all the citi- zens to carefullv guard their valu- ables, and to leave no money of any large amount lying around for covetous individuals to ' get hold of, via the robbery route. Spent Vacation in Bemidii. Miss Myrtle Holmes, a teacher in the Normal school at Mankato, returned to that place this morning and will take up her duties at the Normal Monday morning, She and her sister, Miss Grace Holmes, (a teacher in the public schools of Mankato) have been spending their vacation in -Bemidji, this place being recommended to them by Senator S. D. Works as the best place he knows of to spend a summer’s vaca- tion. Miss Grace Holmes remained here for a more extended vacation. T i =S g
