VOLUME 5. NUMBER 178. AILY PIONE BEMIDJI, MINNESOTA, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 1907, WIRNESCTA HISTORICAL FORTY CENTS PER MONTH PRETTY CHURGH WEDDING POPULAR GOUPLE MARRIED Henry F. Miller and Mabel Kemp United in Wedlock in This City Yesterday. A very pretty church wedding was solemnized at the Baptist church at 10 o’clock Wednesday forenoon, the contracting parties being Mabel Harriet Kemp, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Kemp of this city, and Henry F. Miller, also of this city. Rev. McKee, pastor of the Baptist church, was the officiating clergy-| man who tied the nupitial knot and pronounced the ceremony which united the lives of these estimable young people of our little city. The church was handsomely dec- orated, there being festoons of southern smilax, reaching from the /| chandelier to the sides of the church, and suspended in the center of the! festoons, was a very beautiful mar- riage bell. On the rostrum was al large boquet of ferns and chrysan- | themums, the whole presenting a| very handsome appearance. | The ceremony was preceeded by | a song, “Sweathearts,”Jsang by Mrs. Smyth, after which the wedding party entered (Mrs. Smyth playing Lohengrin’s beautiful wedding | march) and took their places in | position before the altar, standing‘ upon a bed of ferns and immediately | under the large wedding bell. { Mrs. Frank Smith of Minneapolis, a sister of the bride, acted as matron | of honor, and carried a boquet ofi pink Kate Moulton roses. Mr. Frank | Smith attended the groom. Edwin and Ludin Tabor acted as ushers. Myrtle Methovon and Genevieve Crouch were ribbon bearers and they carried pink carnations, white satin ribbon stretched from the rear of | the church forming an isle for the bridal party and its attendants. At the conclusion of the ceremony, the bridal party and invited guests, to the number of sixty-five, went to the home of the bride’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Kemp, where a recep- tion was giving. Congratulations followed, with merry jest and cheer-| ful conversation. An elegant wed-| ding breakfast was served, and after expressing sincere wishes for the happiness and prosperity of the newly married couple,* the zuests‘ departed, leaving many valuable andi handsome gifts as tokens of then"| good will. | Mr. and Mrs. Miller left on the| noon train for Duluth, their many friends following them to the depot.{ where they were the object of much solicitation on the part of the crowd, who showered them with rice as they departed from the city. The bride’s going-away gown was of blue broadcloth, and on her head was a picture hat of blue velvet, covered with blue plumes. Among the out-of-town guests who attended the wedding were Mr. and Mrs. Frank Smith of Minneapolis, and Mrs. G. Robinson of Brainerd, the latter being a cousin of the bride. It is a pleasure to chronicle the marriage of such estimable young people and this paper wafts to them warm congratulations. Gave Fine Concert. The Midland Concert company gave a splendid entertainment at the city opera house last evening under the auspices of the Ladies’ Aid society of the Presbyterian church, there being a fair-sized crowd present. The company came to Be- midji highly recommended, and the members, individually and collect- ively, sustained the reputation which had preceded them. The vocalist in the rendition of her two selections made quite an impression. She has a sweet voice and one that appeals to an audience. The reader drew her share of ap- plause. The hit of the evening was the violinist, who was loudly applauded at the conclusion of her first selec- tion, She then won her way into the hearts of the people when she played “My Old Kentucky Home.” She held the audience spellbound. The general verdict was that the Midland company is one of the very Harriet | and the Presbyterian ladies are to be | congratulated on securing such ex- | cellent talent for their Lyceum Course. Will Make Good Team. | D. F. Collins and Robert McCall | have purchased the refreshment | parlor formerly conducted by J. P. | Duncalf and will hereafter conduct the same, under the firm name of Collins & McCall. | Both of the gentlemen mentioned above are well known in Bemidji, | and they also have many friends in | the towns surrounding this city. { They are square dealers, and will |always treat their patrons well. | They start out with the best wishes of all patrons of wet goods estab- lishments, and will undoubtedly make good in their new field. Joseph Harrington has associ- ated himself with the new firm, as dispenser of liquid gladness— and Joe is one of the best in the busi- ness. The new firm will renovate and repaint the entire interior of the building and add greatly to the ap- pearance of that place. . A New ‘‘Fair” Store. G. A. Hoffman and T. E. Thomas of Minneapolis have leased the build- ing formerly occupied by Schroeder & Schwandt, on Minnesota avenue, and will occupy the same with a stock of gents’ furnishings, shoes and novelties—a sort of “fair” store, Messrs. Hoffman and Thomas announce thet will have a full stock of everything in the lines’mentioned above, and that they intend to open the store for business about Novem- ber 20.

Both gentle- men have been residents of Minne- apolis during the past year. 6OV, JOHNSON TO MEET BRYAN IN WASHINGTON Political Poiling Simmering Somewhat Relative to Democratic Candidates on the National Ticket. The press of the country is busily engaged figuring out who will be the next democratic candidte for the presidency, and the probable candi- date for the vice presidency is also receiving considerable attention. Along this line the following tele- gram will be of interest to those interested in the political game: Ney York, Nov. 14, —William Jennings Bryan will be the guest at dinner next week in Washington that is to be attended by democrats of national prominence, among them Governor Johnson of Minnesota. It was remarked today as significant that no New York Democrat who represents either Tammany Hall or the state organization has accepted |an invitation to the Washington function. It is known that Mr. Murphy is opposed to Bryan’s nomi- nation and that in co-operation with William J. Conners, he is preparing to throw the New York delegation to somebody to be decided upon. Chicago, Nov. 14.—Sullivan-Hop- kins Democrats in Illinois have asked William Jennings Bryan to lay aside his “halo” long enough to permit the party to elect -a Demo- cratic president. They think it would be possible to achieve this result if Mr. Bryan will -forget him- self long enough to permit Demo- crats to unite and pass up their partisan fighting. The request has been made in the form of a letter written by Charles K. Ladd of Kewanee, who has served in a prominent’ capacity. in Demo- cratic state and national conventions, and who has been affiliated with the Sullivan-Hopkins faction in the party. Mr. Ladd set forth his ¥iews in a long letter to Mr. Bryan, an epistle which he asked Mr. Bryan to make public. hest that ever appeared in Bemidji, BEMIDJI LODGE ELKS T0 OBSERVE MEMORIAL DAY Local Lodge Will Hold Services Sun- day Afternoon, December 1, in City Opera House.

BOARD WILL PROBE THE SATTE TIMBERSCALING Some Cruisers Claim the State Has Been Losing by System Now in Vogue. The Duluth News-Tribune of yesterday contained the following state timber board to probe recent work done by scalers for the state: “F. L. Ryan. of this city, surveyor genéral of logs and lumber in the fifth district, has been summoned to appear before the state timber board at a meeting of that body today in St. Paul,” to answer complaints in regard to the scaling of state tim- ber: “Two other surveyor generals, Fred E.
