BEMIDJI CASH SHOE STORE The Da.ily Pioneer 40c per Month MUNN AND MATHIESON GOMPOSED AND GONFIDEHT Continued from First Page in his case; that he had read parts of the evidence and deliberated much, but that he failed to find a s.ngle circumstance in the defend- ant’s favor. In pronouncing sentence on Mathieson, the judge stated very briefly that he had no doubt of the guilt of Mathieson, and considered the offense with which he had been charged as being one of the most cold-blooded murders in the annals of crime in Minnesota. Both Mathieson and Munn bear up well, and are remarkably com- posed, most of the time. They have itheir “blue days,” when they are exceedingly quiet and uacommunica- |tive and evidently realize fully the seriousness of their situation. Julius Dahl and Andrew Johrson, who have acted as death watch since sentence was pronounced, do much to cheer the men and fortify their courage. Mathieson has become a great reader of the bible, and he professes religion in a marked degree. Munn also reads the bible considerably. Mathieson is convinced that his attorney will save his neck, and Munn is certain he will be given a new trial. “Little German Band’ Honored. Saturday evening a delegation of 15 Elks from Crookston were guests of Grand Forks Lodge No. 255, B. |'P. O. E., and the occasion will be a memorable one as the members of the Grand Forks Lodge presented each member of “The Little German Band” of the Crookston lodge with a handsome silver medal inscribed “Grand Forks 255, B. P. O. E. to The Little German band, Minot, Oct. 26, ’07,” then follows the name of the individual badge for each member. The badge is in commemoration of the institution of the Elks’ lodge at Minot, N. D., Oct. 26, the “Little German Band” from Crookston being one of the features that made a hit. The members of the famous organi- zation which has made hits here, at Bemidji and othér places are as follows: Fred R. Walker, leader and solo cornet, Sam J. Stieelitz, | clarionet, Norman Mossefin, Saxa- phone, John N. Kirsch, trombone; Arthur H. Kirsch, baritone, T. G. Brunelle, Tuba, H. F. Brown, snare drum, Wm. Munch, bass Drum.— Crookston Times. The “Little German Band” was in Bemidji at the instituting of the Bemidji lodge, a year ago; and they will be here at the state meeting to be held next year, They are a bunch of good fellows, and they well deserve the bonor given them by the Grand Forks “browsers.” Early Christmas Shopping will save your nerves and give you choice of things. $22, $20 and $18 Overcoats, extra- ordinary values, $12.50 " Copyright 1907 The Hne of Kuppenheimer icago selling .......... g We will be glad to lay by any selection made now till X-mas time.

Cass Lake, Dec. 11.—(Special to Pioneer.) The students of the Cass Lake high school have organ- ized a basketball team, which, it is believed, will be able to give any high school team in this part of the state a ‘“‘run for the money.” The team will play its first game next Friday evening, when the Walker high school basketball five will appear here for a contest, and the game promises to be a fast one, as both teams are composed of aggressive players. The local team expects to try conclusions this winter with the Grand Rapids, Bemidji,Park Rapids, Deer River and Bagley high school teams. Bemidji a Winter Resort. Wiley Phillips and F. B.

Va., Badly Decomposed. MORE RAPID PROGRESS MADE One Hundred and Forty-one Bodies Have Been Brought to the Surface and the Work of Rescue Is Being Pushed as Fast as Possible. : Monongah, W. Va, Dec. 11.—One hundred and forty-cne bodies have been brought to the surface from mines Numbers 6 and 8 of the Fair- mont Coal company here. The work of rescue is progressing as rapidly as the necessary precautions for the -safety of the workmen will permit and it is expected the mines will be cleared of their ghastly burden within the next twenty-four hours. A steady rain has fallen here all day, adding to the discomfort of the rescuers and making the work of re covering the bodies more difficult. Of the fifty bodies taken from the mines in the past twenty-four hours a ma- jority are so mangled and decomposed as to render preparations for imme. diate burial imperative and many were sent direct from the mines to the graveyard in compliance with the order of the county board of health to prevent disease. Work has been started on the right side of mine No. 8 and it is believed that many of the victims of the explo. sion will be found there. The res- cuers have penetrated about 3,000 feet in this mine and parties are now ex- ploring nearly every section of mine No. 6. Large pumps have arrived at the 'mines from Pittsburg and were fn- stalled to remove water that had got- ten into the mine from the river. The fires which at first threatened and for a time did stop the work of rescue have been controlled by cutting off the supply of air in the burning por- tions of the mines. However, all dan- ger of further explosions is not past and no attempt will be made to re- cpen these sections of the mine until it ie definitely ascertained that the fire has been extinguished. TEXT OF LETTER GIVEN OUT President's Warning to Officeholders Advocating Third Term. ‘Washington, Dec. 11.—After the cabinet session the letter addressed by President Roosevelt to the mem- bers of his cabinet on Nov. 19 instruct- ing them to inform federal officehold- ers not to participate in a third term movement for President Roosevelt ‘was made public at the White House. It is understood that cabinet officers will at once take action in accordance with the terms of this letter, which is as follows: “I have been informed that certain officeholders in your department are proposing to go to the national con- vention as delegates in favor of re- nominating me for the presidency, or are preparing to procure my endorse- ment for such renomination by state conventions. This must not be. I wish you to inform such officers as you may find it advisable or neces- sary to inform in order to carry out the spirit of this instruction that such advocacy of my renomination, or ac- ceptance of an election as delegate for that purpose, will be regarded as a serious violation of official propriety and will be dealt with accordingly.” OUTLINES STATE'S CASE.

The stirring events that followed, including the declara- tion of martial law and deportation of union miners, made Colorado the cen- ter of interest for many months, The board also recefved a message from unions in British Columbia stat- ing that mine operators are attempt- ing to reduce wages and asking ad- vice in the matter. The reply was sent back to the union men to “stand pat.” Acting Secrctary Kirwin had the following to say: “If the reduc- tion as threatened is made in British Columbia more than 6,000 skilled min- ers will lay down their tools and the mining industry of the Canadian West will be crippled, JAPS GET ENTIRE TRADE. English Steamship Line to Bombay Put Out of Business. London, Dec, 11—Presiding at the annual meeting of the Peninsula and Oriental Steam Navigation company Sir Thomas Sutherland, chairman of the company, had to make the disa- greeable confession that the entire trade of the line between Bombay and Japan had been wiped out by its Jap- anese competitors, ~ Speaking of the startling strides made by Japanese trade in the East the chairman said it seemed to him that the “soul of a people that had lain dormant for centuries had sud- denly awakened to almost supernat- ural activity.” He said he thought the Japanese government, to a certain ex- tent unfairly, was forcing the Japa- nese steamship companies to increase their Bombay sailings and the result was that the Peninsula and Oriental company had been entirely left out in the cold.
