Fred Jordon Dons His Leave for Mi Considerable local interest is being of the new D., on taken in the instituting lodge of Elks at Minot, N. Saturday next. Invitations have been received by | local Flks to go to Minot and par- ticipate in the instituting of the lodge, and there are many of the Elks who are traveling men who will attend, but the distance isso great to the North Dakota town that Be- midji Elks find it impossible to go, in any numbers. However, Fred Jordon, the most ardent and loyal members of the fraternity, will go to Minot, and will represent Bemidji Lodge, No. 1052, B. P. O. E. Fred is one of the in the local bunch, and he will be armed with credentials showing Bemidji to be in the front rank of development among the northwest- ern localities. He will have some cards showing the proper method for any Elk to travel, in coming to Bemidii to attend the annual meet- ing of the Minnesota State Associa- one “livest wires” Traveling Garb and Will not Tomorrow tion of Elks, which will be held in this city next July, and will see to it that Bemidjdi gets the proper amount of notice at the hands of the Elks of the “Flickertail” state. It is understood that the actual work of instituting the new lodge will commence at Minot immediaté]y after the visiting Flks have partaken of dinner on Saturday, and that the work will be continued (with a short intermission for supper) until every- thing 1s and the new lodge is launched for business. Many Elks of prominence through- out the Northwest will be present. The Elks quartette of Crookston will attend the “doings” and render some of the selections for which the organization is noted. The quartette consists of W. B. Krouse and C. A. completed Hitchcock of Crookston, Joe Wessel | g o Minuneapolis and D. Toutont of | Thief River Falls. The people of Minot will turn the town over to the “horned brethren,” Saturday, and it goes without say- ing that will be something “doing” all the time. there SMOKERS OF CIGARETTES HAVE POISONED BI00D The Blood of One User of the *‘Coffin Nails” Killed Two Leeches. Duluth Herald: A lesson that| is worth much to every cigarette{ smoker that will take it to heart is furnished by the talk a western | doctor recently gave to a patient. It is especially valuable to boys who | are learning to smoke by the cigar- | ette route, thinking it milder and of | less harm than other forms of tobacco. This youth came to his | physician in a very much run-down | condition, and as a result of the doctor’s questioning the fact was| developed that the patient was in | the habit of smoking something like | thirty cigarettes a day, but he hadn‘tl thought of blaming cigarettes for his | condition. He blamed his “hard | work.” [ The shook his head, | smiled doubtingly, and reached for al glass jar, out of which he tooka| leech. ‘“‘Let me show you some- thing,” he said. “‘Bare your arm.” The young man wonderingly com-} plied, and the doctor laid upon it doctor the lean, black leech. The leech| fell to its work of blood-sucking Its body began to swell. Then suddenly it gave a shudder, released its hold, and dropped to the floor, dead. "“That’s what your blood did to the leech,” said the physician. “You poisoned it.” The cigarette fiend doubted. He'| said that the leech was probably not in good health in the first place. “We'll try again,” the doctor said; so he put two more leeches on the young man’s thin arm. “If they both die,” said the sick man, “I'll swear off—at least, I'll cut down my daily allowance from thirty cigarettes to ten.” Even as to the floor, and a moment later the arger one fell beside it. “This is ghastly,” said the young man, “I’'m worse than a pestilence to those leeches.” Then the doctor explained it all scientifically to the young man, telling him that what had killed the leeches was the poison from the cigarettes in his blood. He said all cigarette fiends have it. He said that if he quit smoking or smoked reasonably and smoked something besides cigarettes if he had to smoke, by and by his blood would get so it wouldn’t kill leeches. Besides, his appetite would return, his sleep would be better, and his color would clearup. “It is not hard work,” said the doctor, “but hard smoking that brought these troubles upon you.” General Manager Gemmell Here. W. H. Gemmell, general manager of the M. & L. railway, came down last evening from Big Falls, his private car, "'50,” being attached to the regular south-bound local freight. Mr. Gemmell had been to Inter- national Falls on a trip of inspec- tion over the Big Falls-International extension. He inspected bridges from Big Falls to Bemidji, and re- ports the line in excellent condition; but there is still much surfacing work todo on the north end to the boundary town. Mr, Gemmell left at 6 this morn- ing for Brainerd, his car being hauled by the south-bound freight train. Prof. Elliot A. Boyl to Lecture. The first lecture of the five en- tertainments to be given by. the [adies of the Presbyterian church, will be a lecture by Prof. Elliot A. Boyle, Saturday evening, Oct. 26th.

The team weighs on an average of 178 Ibs. to the man, and we hope this will have some effect on the high school boys, so they cancel the game, or play 92-minute halves. Pratice was held twice yesterday at Scott Stewart’s store and the team lined up against the “good things” Scott has to offer. The team also issues a challenge to the world, barring the choir boys team of Snaez, Germany.

Reckless users of firearms who shoot at anything their fancy may like will do well to look out for the strong arm of the law, if they take a “crack” at mail boxes, out in the rural districts. The federal law relating to these violations is found in section 3869 | of the United States statutes, and reads as follows: “Every person who willfully and maliciously injures, tears down or destroys any letter box, pillar box, or other receptacle established by the postmaster general, for the safe deposit of matter for the mail, or for delivery, or who willfully and malic- ously assaults any letter carrier, when in uniform, while engaged on | his route in discharge of his duties as a mail carrier, and every person who willfully aids or assists therein, | shall, for every such offense, be =punishable by a fine of not less than $100, and not more than $1,000, or by imprisonment for not less than one year and not more than three.” Order Photos Now. R. W. Reed, of the Reed Studio, and this should throw terror into i wishes to announce to the people of Bemidji and vicinity that he will be will be | at his studio from now until after Stewart’s show | the holidays. Those wishing photos or pictures of any kind for Xmas should come early, in order to give Mr. Reed sufficient time to finish the work.

A. Rheinhart, proprietor of the big hardware store on DeMers ave- nue, and a pioneer resident of Grand Forks, was arrested last evening on a charge of insanity. The arrest of Rheinhart followed a series of startling stunts. For the past six weeks following a visit of his wife for five or six weeks with friends in [owa, he has been jealous. and has frequently chased her out of the house and compelled her to seek protection with neighbors. On Monday he alarmed her by his actions and, fearing for her life, she ran to the home of a neighbor, Officer Benson. Soon Rheinhart followed and the officer suggested rhat they go to State Attorney Wineman and see if their troubles could not be adjusted. Rheinhart refused, but his wife went to Wine- man’s office in a hack with Benson. I'he latter then returned to his home, hoping that there would be no turther difficulty. Mrs. Rheinhart had been in the office of the sta‘e’s attorney but a short time when Rheinhart appeared, white with rage. He bitterly assailed his wife,and finally started to assault her. He was foiled by State’s Attor- ney Wineman, who pushed him up against the wall and kept him there. ‘Rheinhart calmed down fcr a brief period but soon raged again and the state’s attorney picked up a tele- {phone to call an officer from the 1 city hall. . Rheinhart knocked the : telephone out of Yis hand. After they had talked for a while there was a call at the telephone and Judge R. J. Purcell stated that Officer Blue had a man in his office and wanted the state’s attorney. ' | Wineman told the judge to send Officer Blue down at once. Blue entered the door and Rhein- hart jumped at him like a wildcat. He shoved the officer out of the door, smashing the glass and injur- ing one of Blue’s hands. With maniacal cunning Rheinhart turned the key in the door and called Offi- cer Blue to shoot if he wanted to. After declaring that either Mrs. Rheinhart or he must die before leaving the room, Rheinhart again threatened to attack her, but was restrained and after a talk with State’s Attorney Wineman about his six children and the woe he was bringing on them, Rheinhart broke down and wept. He was finally persuaded to leave. Fearing that her husband would her, Mrs. Rheinhart sought C. A. REINHART ARRESTED ON CHARGE OF INSANITY Terrorized His Wife and Threatened Her Life.---Is a Resi- dent of Grand Forks.---Qwns Property in protection at the county jail, where she remained Monday night with SheriffHanson and family. Yesterday morning Rheinhart sold the stock in his hardware store to one of his sons, executing a bill of sale for the same and drew $4,000 from one of the banks. He flashed the money around town and handled it as one demented. He resigned as adirector of the company owning Le new Empire theatre. Following his arrest last evening he sought the services of a lawyer and prepared for the hearing today. Mr. Rhinehart is well known in Bemidji. He owns property here, and has visited this city every sum- mer for the past five years. It is sincerely hoped that his affliction will not prove permanent. Adjudged Sane. Grand Forks, Oct. 24.—(Special to Pioneer.)—Charles A. Rheinbart, who was arrested on complainz of his wife on a charge of insanity, was discharged at a hearing held in Judge L. K. Hassell's court. Mrs. Rheinhart and her husbaud were the witnesses. Mrs. Rheinhartadmitted that over-indulgence in liquor was the probable cause of her husband’s brainstorms and suggested that jeal- ousy played a part. Rheinhart testified that on the afternoon on which it was thought that he was insane he drank a quart of whiskey in four hours and the insanity board decided that was enough to cause at leasta small- sized cerebral typhoon. In the absence of his brother B. G. Skulason acted as a member of the board, the others being Dr. A. L. McDonald and Judge L. K. Has- sell. The opinion of the sanity board was that the Rheinhart case more properly belonged in the courts. There was no evidence of insanity.in Rheinhart’s actions or his testimony and the testimony of his wife showed that he had been offlicted with noth- ing more serious than a bad temper and an occasional jag. More witnessess could have been called by the board to give evidence in the case but it was decided that the evidence was sufficient to prove the sanity of the defendant. Yesterday afternoon Mrs. Rhein- hart made another kick to the authorities and there promises to be further developments in the case. Baim of Gilead Valuable. St. Ignac, Mich.,, Oct. 24.—As b | evidence of the decreasing timber supplies of the upper lake region the factis interesting that the much despised Balm of Gilead tree is be- ing put to commercial use. It makes good material for box lumber, and a firm in northern Michigan is plac- ing this product on the market for the above named purpose. A lumber firm from Saginaw has established a sawmill at Maxton on Drummond Island, at the mouth of St. Mary’s river, where large quan- tities of timber is being cut. Only within the past year has the Balm of Gilead been considered valuable. Owing to the “soggy” condition of the timber when cut, it has been held practically worthless. However, when it is properly seasoned, this timber is somewhat like basswood and can be used for similar purposes. Died at Big Falls. Big Falls Compass: Thomas Kiley died of heart failure Friday night. He was found many hours afterward in his room above Audett’s saloon upon the bed with his clothes on. ' His body lies at the undertak- ing rooms of A. M. Jensen, awaiting arrived yesterday from Little Falls to arrange for burial. Tom Kiley has homesteaded on the Big Fork for the past seven years and was known to all river travelers for his hospitality. He was a widower and has children and four brothers living in various parts of the Union, and Canada where he was born. He was 62 years of age, and has never known sickness. Will Play Here.
