This means that on all homestead entries made after the last day of “this month, the six months formerly allowed as constructive residence will not be allowed, but full fourteen months actual residence will be re- quired. It does not affect home- stead entries made prior to the first day of November. All such entries will be treated in the same manner ! as they have been during the past, but all will be required to be actually living upon their land at the time they apply for notices of intention to make commutation proofs. The six months allowed within which to establish residence will be the same as in the past, but four- teen months actual residence will be required.

Russians Anxious to Fight in Amer- ican Army. St. Petersburg, Nov. 9.—The talk of the possibility of a war between the United States and Japan, which throughout has been taken seriously in Russia, Is bringing many volun- teers to the American embassy who say they are anxious to serve im the United States army in case of hostili- tles. A report is also circulating in military circles here that the Amer- ican army in the Philippines needs in- structors, especially for the artillery and engineer corps. Five or six Rus- sian officors of these branches of the gervice apply daily at the embasay for commissions and are disappointed by the assurances that there is no likell- hood of Japan and the United States going to war. Timber Fires In South Dakota. Deadwood, S. D., Nov. 9.—Reports continue to come in of heavy damage done by timber fires twenty to thirty miles south of here and in the country around Belle Fourche and on the Wyo- ming border.

Commencing Monday morning, Nov. 11th, and continuing for one week, a sale of lands, upon which the taxes have remained unpaid until the land has become forfeited to the state, will be held at the office of the county auditor. All land upon which the taxes are unpaid for 1902, or any year prior to that year, will be subject to this sale. There are about 400 tracts within the county which will be subject to this sale. Chapter 430 of the laws covering this sale allows the auditor some latitude in fixing the amount for which this land will be sold, and those parcels upon which taxes are delinquent prior to 1902. County Auditor Wilman states that it is his intention to clean up every acre of land and every lot as far as possible at this sale. Many inquiries are being made in relation thereto and during the week a number of tracts and parcels of land have been redeemed. Citizens owning property should see that their lands are not included in this sale. One bad feature which the law does not cover is the publi- cation of lists describing these lands. This makes it obligatory upon every citizen to see that his property is clear. After the sale the successful bid- ders will be required to give notice of expiration of redemption in the usual course provided for these notices.

It is probable that some day in the near future Bemidji will have this line of railway, which will open up one of the richest territories tri- butary to the city. Regarding this survey the Fargo Cal says: ; “A large party of railway survey- ors are working in the vicinity of Detroit in the direction of Bemidji, Minnesota; and in the opinion of business men of the former city they are in tke employ of the Northern Pacific railway company. The survey is being made along the old survey made by the Northern Pacific some years ago connecting the two cities. While it is not prob- able that any building will be done this year it is thought the Northern Pacific is preparing to construct the line in the spring. It would open up a new territory. and cut into the Soo business through a large stretch of country.” Deer Season Opens Tomorrow. The deer season will open tomor- row and local hunters who have been practicing on_ducks, prairie chickens and partridges for the past month will give their undivided at- tention to the killing of moose and deer. During the past- week a great many foreign hun;(te'r's have been arriving in the city ‘preparatory to going north to be on the ground on crombie, the day of the opening of the season. Each hunter is enthusiastic and expects to be gone a week or ten ays. Guides, as far as possible, have been secured, camps built and | everything in readiness for the opening of the big game season. Each hunter is entitled to kill one male antlered moose, which cannot, under any -circumstances be shipped out of the state. Residents of the state may kill two deer and non-residents one. Clifford North Dead. Mrs. Carrie North mourns the death of her three-year-old son, Clifford, who died early yesterday morning. About a week ago the little one was taken to the home of Mr. and Mrs. John Lemeux, who live about twelve miles northwest of Bemidji, for a few week’s visit. [Early this week the little boy had a severe attack of croup and pneumonia, which finally caused his death. The funeral will be held tomorrow after- noon at 2 o’clock from the Salvation Army barracks. Rebekah District Convention. A special district convention of the Rebekah lodge will be held here some time during the month of Janu- ary. The local lodge is making preparations to receive the visiters at that time. This district comprises the territory as far west as Fosston, south to Wadera, east to Grand Rapids, and the lodges north of that district. . A school of instruction will be held at that time and an interesting program is being prepared for the occasion. Band Concert Nov. 15. Professor Thomas Symington, leader of the Bemidji band, an- nounces that the first of a series of winter band concerts will be given .in the city hall about Friday evening, November 15th, when a specially- arranged program of high-clas! music will be rendered. ¢ Uniform Tablets The public schools have adopted a uniform tablet .which the teachers have re- quested all pupils to use. These tablets were put up at the Pioneer office and are on sale at the following stores: Pioneer Stationery Store, M. E. Ibertson, Mrs. Aber- Scott Stewart, Floyd Brown, Wm. Mageau Frank H. West @ Co. The Duluth News-Tribune con- tained the following interesting bit of political gossip from Washington, yesterday: “Charles F. Murphy fresh from his Tammany victory in New York last Tuesday is going westto confer with leading Democratic politicians. “‘Next year’s presidential nomina- iton will be considered and in view of recent results Leader Murphy’s prestige and position is certain to be given unusual attention by Demo- cratic politicians generally. “The Tammany tiger, with its well-equipped organization, comes up smiling and strong over its success in putting William Hearst out of business. “What will it do with Mr. Bryan? “It is pointed out that Tuesday’s election results are anything but encouraging to Bryan and his friends. The places where he campaigned went Republican. The places he stayed away from went democratic. Bryan stumped Kentucky for the ticket, but it went down in defeat. He hobnobbed with William R. Hearst in New York and the Inde- pendence league got whipped by Tammany. Mr. Bryan kept out of Maryland where there was a lively fight and Maryland went Democra- tic. “In the Cleveland mayoralty fight, Tom Johnson did not invite Bryan to lend a helping hand and he seems to have got along very well without the aid of the peerless leader. All of these and many other interesting phases of the situation are to be considered by Boss Murphy ! at Mount Clemens, RUMOR HAS TWO JOHNSONS HEADING THE DEMOCRACY Thomas L. of Cleveland and John A. of St. Peter Regarded as Partys’ Best Entries for Presidential Race Says the Duluth News-Tribune. Mich., within the next two weeks. “It is expected that R. T. O’Con- ner, the big chief of Minnesota Democracy, will soon make a trip to Mount Clemens for his health. Gov- ernor John A. Johnson’s availability as democracy’s candidate for presi- dent next year is certain to be one of the leading questions considered at Mount Clemens. “Lieutenant Governor L. Stuy- vesant Chanler of New York is not now regarded as a factor in Demo- cratic presidential politics. He is an Independence leagurer and was elected as such a year ago, stumping New York state side by side with Hearst. Tammany politicians are turning to Tom L. Johnson of Ohio as a vote-getting candidate for a place on the national ticket. A Johnson and Johnson combination is within the range of probalities. While Tammany does not expect to carry the state of New York as against Roosevelt or Taft, it is figured out by certain eastern politi- cians that John A. Johmson can carry the Northwest and Tom L. Johnson swing Ohio into line, the election can be won. “Opposition to the administration in Ohio is counted on to add to the Johnsonian movement in the Buck- eye state. “Taking an account of stock, there is hardly a Democrat of any prominence but what is willing to admit that in view of the present situation the most available assets at this time are in Minnesota and Ohio fof next year’s battle.” TAFT TO VISIT KAISER. Wil Meet German Emperor on Brit- ish 8oll. Berlin, Nov. 9.—Emperor Willlam will see Secretary Taft at Osborne House, Isle of Wight, during the for- mer's visit to England. A message conveyirg this wish was sent through the German embassy at Washington, it being understood that Mr. Taft has finally decided to return to the United States by way of Europe. It is re- garded as likely that Mr. Taft also as for the American secretary of war to visit the German emperor on Brit- ish soil without raying equivalent re- spect to the king might be regarded es discourteous. So much has lLeen said about Mr. Taft planning to see the emperor that rome Of the other governments have seemingly Lecome us in regard to whether any s intended by the step taken b Zov- ernment. Ambassadors PBryce and Jusserand, it is asserted here, already have made inquiries on the subject at the state department at Washington and it is further asserted that there is & feeling at the foreign offices of London and Paris that Mr. Taft would be slighting King Edward and Pres- ident Fallieres if he did not ask to see them on his way home or if he stopped only at St. Petersburg and Berlin while on his way back to the United States. NO TROUBLE WILL RESULT Uruguay's Attitude Toward Argentina Far From Warlike. Montevideo, Uruguay, Nov. 9.— There will be no trouble between Uru- guay and Argentina over the seizure of a tug in Uruguayan waters by Ar- gentine officials. The Uruguayan cab- inet, at a meeting, decided to protest against the act and to. reafirm Uru- guayan right of jurisdiction but not to demand satisfaction of Argentina. This settlement of the dispute is un. satisfactory to the minister of foreign affairs, Senor Acevedo, who declares that he will resign. He demanded that Uruguay take a much firmer attitude.

Eddy, Polk County, November 5.~(Special to Pioneer.)—A most terrible and fatal accident accurred atthe home of Mr. and Mrs. John Nordlund, this county, last Saturday morning. At the timeof the accident the father was away helping a neighbor thresh and the mother had gone to the stable to do the chores, leaving their daughter Alice, three years of age alone in the house. Soon the mother hearda scream and rushing to the house found that her little daughter was a mass of flames. She did not lose her pres- ence of mind but wrapped the child up at once, saving further destruc- tion. But too late the deadly flames had done their work and the little child lived but two hours after the accident. The bereaved parents have the sympathy of the entire neighbor- hood. It will never be known what the cause of the accident was but it is is presumed the little one was playing with the fire at the time. Smallpox Patients Quarantined. Doctor Blakeslee returned this morning from a professional trip to" Kelliher, where he went last even- ing to look after two smallpox patients. The two men were taken in charge and will be brought overland and will be confined to the Beltrami county pest house. The two camps where the men were, were thoroughly fumigated and the men placed under quaran- tine for a period of eighteen days. The two patients are non-residents, one coming here from Dakota and the other from Akeley, the disease being contracted before they reached this county. “Foot] e Pioneer office. =~ " souvenir post cards at p—
