This is followed by a duet between Janet and Anita to the accompaniment of the tinkling bells from the pasture lands. The farmers brigade is out in early tralning and stop to linger with the milkmaids be- fore going to work. The Village Judge passes that way and exponnds love to the girls, who are very much amused at his lengthy discourse and the maids are then off to the milking. SCENE IT. i The commodore finds a substantial breakfast and is surprised by the Doctor, but being a tiick witted individual eludes his persecutor. The Doctor goes in search of him. Romantic little Dorothy is enticed by the wiles of a bold rover, posing as a commodore, to go with him to scek their fortune. Her faithtul lover, Farmer Jim. is forgotten and the sham commodore is jubilant over his success. The Dairy Queen comes from her morning walk in time to welcome the maids who return with flowing pails. Dorothy is telling her morning adventure to the Queen and receiving kindly advice when footsteps are heard and the beggar ithe commodore) appears, tells his tragical tale of misfortune. and departs in disgust as Farmer Jim enters with confessions, to learn that his declaration has heen so long deferred that he s, alus! too late, Malds are singing while polishing the buckets and pans, when a peddlar (the Doctor in disguise in search of the Commodore) enters and displays his wares, Ruth has a bit of romance to re Monica, the Indian forture teller, then reveals the future to Dorothy The farmer boys return from the fields amid hearty demonstrations of welcome. DIALECT READINGS BY MR. WILSON BETWEEN ACTS. ACT 11 Happy maids churn the golden butter. «Ives the maids a glimple of her child- hood and then all g0 off to the milking. Jim, driven to the depths of despondency, is In need of encouragement, which he receives from Farmer Joe and the village judge, but Monica makes him the happiest of all by her words of good cheer. The Jolly gentlemen on their way home are accosted by the arrogant Commodore, whose identity is exposed by the Doctor, which causes Farmer Jim to build a bright air castle of hope. Margery indulges in retrospection and the busy judge pauses a moment to paint a picture of lite. Vesper bells announce the close of day. Dorothy discovers the Commodore is & sham and when Farmer J1m again tells her his love in presenting a bunch of Mayflowers she acknowledges she always loved him. They decide to float down Life's stream together. Chalk, Pump and the Milk Oans take the evening train for the city. The maidens and farmer boys return from labor and Ruth makes a startling announce- ment as the vesper soug comes floating in from the neighboring chapel and the wedding bells peal forth. INTERVAL CURTAIN The entrance of the bridal couple provokes a merry demonstration of “All hail to the farmer’s bride” and happiness relgns in the home of “THE MERRY MILKMAIDS." The duet, “Oh Pretty Maid,” and the song, “Sweet Bunch of Mayflowers,” were written by Mr. Wilson for this production. —_— e MISTAKEN FOR A DEER; IS HIT WITH BUCKSHOT mer, where he met Savage. He in-| duced Savage to come over here for a big game hunt, and the two were on their way to Slossen’s claim when Savage was shot. Savage and Slossen were but a short distance from the home of the farmer, when the latter opened the door, and noting some object moving in the distance, grabbed his gun and fired a load of buckshot. The load Farmer Near Blackduck Discharges Shot at Moving Object, Without Investigating. “The Pioneer Certainly Gets the News” The Kelliher Journal says of the news-gathering ability of the Pioneer: : “The Bemidji Pioneer again “scooped”’ all other newspapers in reporting the Minnesota-Chicago football game last Saturday, furnishing ‘the full details of the game 48 hours earlier than the Twin City papers. The Pioneer cer- tainly gets the news.” A paper .which PRINTS THE NEWS, and hasa large number of readers, is certainly the best adver- tising medium. TERMS OF SALE.

Dated at St. Paul, Minnesota, this 13th day of November, 1907. : - 8. G. IVERSON, State Auditor. MRS. J. J. JENKINSON PASSED AWAY LAST NIGHT A number of the kind friends of the family went to the Jenkinson home and took. charge of matters until the funeral services will be held. The funeral services of Mrs. Jenkinson will be held in the Catholic church tomorrow afternoon. at 2. ° o’clock and Rev. Father O’Dwyer will preachithe funeral sermon. Mrs. Jenkinson was a member of the local lodge of Rebekahs, and as Mr. Jenkinson is also a member of the local Odd Fellows lodge, both of these orders will attend the funera services. ; - She was also a Royal Neighbor, a Rathbone Sister, an M. B. A. and - a Forrester, and - members of these orders will attend the funeral. Had Been Il but a Week, and Her Un- expected Death Causes a Shock in the Community. Mrs. Jenkinson, wife of -J. J. Jenkison, died at her farm home south of this city last night at I2 o’clock, after an illness of scarcely a week. The news that Mrs. Jenkison was dead came as a ‘shock to every resident of Bemidji, when announce- ment was made this morning. A dark ‘gloom was spread over the whole community when it was wispered from one to another that Mrs. Jenkinson was dead. It was known by but a few of the friends of the family that Mrs. Jenkinson had been ill for about a week, but the general public had no knowledge that she was in a serious condition. ’ > Redby Postoffice Open, ; The postoffice at Redby, in this county, which was but recently es- tablished with Mr. Newman as post- master, was officially opened today - for the reception of mail from out- side points. Ly e ¢ The first sack of mail for Redby James Savage, who came from his was pouched out this afternoon from s home in North Dakota to visit with G. Slossen on the latter’s claim near Northome, was accidently shot yes- terday evening by a homesteader living near Slossen’s claim, who mis- took Savage for a deer- Savage was struck with buckshot in his shoulder and his leg and although the wounds are painful they are not considered serious. Savage was brought to this city this morning and his wounds dresssd by a local physician. It appears that Slossen worked in hit Savage in the shoulder and leg. Savage was brought to Bemidji and it is not likely that anything will be done to the man who fired the shot, because the wounds are not consid- ered dangerous. 1l Members of the Rebekah and Odd Fellow lodges are requested to meet at the Odd Fellow hall tomor- row (Tuesday) afternoon, at 1 o’clock, for the purpose of attend- ing in a body the funeral of Mrs, J.
