J. Opsahl Sub- mitted Practical Communication.f—City Clerk Maloy Mightier than the City Council. At an interesting meeting of the ; and such an inventory should be members of the Bemidji Commercial | properlv made up by the Commer- Club held last evening a new board |cial Club and advertised by that of directors was elected and much}body and by every citizen of Be- business transacted that is of con- siderable importance to the city. A, P. White, C. J. Larson and A. Klein were accepted as members of the club. The report of G. E. Carson, treas- urer of the club, was read, accepted and filed. The report shows that the club is in a healthy condition finan- cially. | The following board of directors was elected to serve during the eusu- ing year: E. A. Schneider, W. N. Bowser, | F. S. Lycan, William E. Neal, A. P. White, G. E. Carson, W. L. Brooks, J. J. Opsahl and William McCuaig. The following communication from J. J. Opsahl was read and filed: “Bemidji, March 10, 1908. “Bemidji Commercial Club. “Gentlemen:—As the spring opens up some united effort should be made by the city of Bemidji and its business men to encourage develop- ment of its surrounding territory, and through that way build up the future of our beautiful city. | “First—Our Agriculture and Fair Societv should be at once organized for the coming year, and a business | program outlined that will encourage I farmers to prepare, before planting time, to complete both for the local countyand the state Fair prizes next fall, as the tillers of the soil will| be the backbone of Bemidji’s pros- perity after the pine is gone. “Second—An inventory should be taken of our city’s market for in- dustrious tillers of the soil. If each merchant, hotels and loggers and others that are large users of farm products would figure up approximately what they used of potatoes and other vegetables, butter, eggs, meats, poultry, hay, corn and oats, with about what of this was supplied by home people and what was shipped into Bemid ji during the year, I feel sure that we all would be surprised at the amount consumed and the money that leaves Bemidji for supplies that go to de- velop other farming communities which could just as well be raised ia our own vicinitiy and the money | kept at home. With the above figures ! should also be added the amount of money paid by the different mills here every year to the settlers in! timber products, | our vicinity for A BREATH FROM THE OLD SoD midji. The merchants should make special effort, by talks with their customers and by special prizes to encourage potato raising. ““Third.—We should make special efforts to get a canning factory in here, or if not more than a salting | station to start with. I think that the Gedney, or the Northern Mfg. Co., could be interested if they are properly approached and assured that the good will and best effo rts of | the city will be bekind them to make the venture a success. *Fourth.—Efforts should be made to interest the Bousfield or the Mc- Avoy Tub and Pail companies to locate a plant here to help make a market for poplar and other low- 'zraee timber that the settler must remove after logging before he can cultivate the land. With the rail- reads, late stand on log rates we have a strong help in getting such factor- ies here if we go after them, on account of the high freight rate to the twin cities. “Fifth—Urge the Bemidji Ludi- ber Co. to put in their contemplated box tactory machines in connection with their new mill, and if they will not, then endeavor to get others interested in a box and crate factory to make market for the settlers’ small timber below log size and encourage the clearing of land for tilling. Such plants will mean more labor employed in this city, more in the country, and more de- mand for supplies from all the merchants. Our present sawmill era will last probably ten or twelve years. Let us get at it and build up our surroundings with the aid of this mill industry so that when they are gone Bemidji will be bigger and stronger than ever. “If Princeton, Minn., can raise and ship several carloads of potatoes a day there is no reason why Be- midji cannot do better. If farmers can ship in eggs, butter, poultry, meats, etc., at a profit, is there any reason why these same products could not be raised close to Bemidii? ks Clubs should have a good committee on statistics; also committees on factories or industrial developments, fair work, aud encouragement of potatoes, dairy and poultry industries. The Commercial “Let us all get busyand pull together for Bemidji. “Respectfully yours, “J. J. Opsahl.” President Lycan appointed J. J: Opsahl, G. E. Carson and A. P. White as a committee of three to confer with the officers of the Bel- trami County Agricultural associa- tion relative to the payment of the balance due to those who won pre- miums at the fair held here last fall. W. E. Neal, Earl Geil and Anton Erickson were appointed as a com- mittee to confer with the officers of the Agricultural association with a view to reorganizing that association and placing the same on a solid, sub- stantial basis so that fufure fairs could be held without any friction. The proposition for inducing the M. & I. and N. P. railways to put on a night train from International Fall to the twin cities was taken up and discussed to some length, and the secretary was authorized to pre- pare a set of resolutions favorable to the installing of the train and for- ward a copy of the same to the officials of the two railways. Several other matters of import- ance were discussed, on which action will be taken at the subsequent meeting. At a meeting of the city council held Monday evening a resolution was passed authorizing the commer- cial club to use the city council chambers for holding their meeting last evening. Late yesterday after- noon City Clerk Maloy turned the key in the lock of the council chambers and absolutely refused to allow the members of the commercial club to use the rooms. Just what reason the accrimonious old gentle- man had for assuming unto himself the custodianship of the city hall is not quite clear. Whether the coun- cil is responsible for the municipal affairs of the city or whether Thomas Maloy is mayor of the city council and general all-around dictator is a matter which must be determined soon for the welfare of the people of this city. His pugnacious attitude to everybody and everything in general is becoming altogether too prominent for peace and harmony to prevail very long in this community. Those in authority should sit down hard on this gentleman, and put him in his place where he belongs— simply city clerk and not the all- around boss of this city. Warrants Payable. Notice is hereby given that there is money in the city treasury to pay all outstanding warrants registered against the general fund prior to October 1, 1907, and that interest | will cease on same from and after thirty days from the date of this notice. Dated at Bemidji, Minn., 10th day of March, 1908. Earl Geil, City Treasurer. this Notice. Owing-to the dissolution of the firm of Hagberg & Knopke, all parties owing accounts at the Bemidji Meat Market are requested to callat the market and settle same at once. It is necessary that we secure im- mediate settlement of our out-stand- ng accounts in order to adjust our own business matters. Arthur Hagberg, Charles Knopke. Militia Meeting Tonight. All those interested in the form- ihg of the proposed militia company for Bemidji are urgently requested to meet at the city hall this evening. No matter whether you have been accepted as a recruit or not, you are requested to be present, as much of importance will be discussed. A. Otto. PAID ENTERTAINMENTS FIVE GENTS PER LINE Those Giving Entertainments and Charg- ing Admissions, Must Pay Cash.— No Tickets Wanted. Hereafter, the Pioneer will make a uniform charge of 5 cents per line for local matter inserted in the paper advertising any entertainment where admission is charged (with absolutely no exception) with fav- ors to none. We are forced to this action, as our columns have been altogether too well filled with this class of ad- vertising matter, to the exclusion of live news matter, and with no other remuneration to us ‘except a, few tickets to some entertainment or show which we did not give a “rap” to see or hear, the tickets hardly ever being all used, and the price of the tickets, at full rates, by no means equaling the cost of the advertising. We are not selecting any class of entertainment in mak- ing this rule.We simply want pay for our work, and we will be found to be as liberally patronizing these entertainments as any institution in the city. But there is such a thing as “riding a free horse to death.” We wish to establish this rule: Pay for your advertising, and.we will pay cash for our tickets. This is but fair, ALFONSO AT BARCELONA. No Disturbance of Any Kind Marks His Arrival. Barcelona, Spain, March 11.—King Alfonso has arrived in this city. He has taken up his residence at the home of General Linares, captain gen- eral of Catalonia, where he will stay during his visit here. e was given a warm welcome by the people of the city. No disturbance of any kind marked the arrival of his majesty. ‘When the royal train drew into the station its arrival was announced by the firing of salutes from the Aus- trian and @panish warships in the harbor. The big square outside the railroad station was lined with troops and the civil guards had dificulty in keeping back the surging crowds. As the king emerged from the station, accompanied by General Linares and the members of his personal suite, in brilliant uniforms, he was warmly greeted. Smiling his acknowledg- ments to the plaudits of the people the king eNtered the royal carriage in ‘Wwalling and, escorted by a squadron of cavalry, he was driven rapidly to the Church of La Merced, where a “Te Deum” was celebrated. After the service the king repaired to the resi- dence of the captain gemeral, which adjoins the church. Barcelona was gaily decorated in honor of the royal visit. The tiers of balconies along the route traversed by his majesty were hung with bunting end fags and thronged with. women ‘wearing the black mantillas for which the beauties of Spain are famous. There were flowers in profusion and the scene was festive and beautiful. The king bowed to the right and to the left in response to the greetings of his people and some of the black eyed Spanish women were with difficulty restrained from disobeying the strict injunctions of the police against show- ering the young monarch with flowers. An imposing array of civil guards and police lined the streets through ‘which his majesty was conducted.

TAKES LATTER OUT TO DINE Man Made Prisoner by Detectives While Sitting in a Restaurant Oppo- site His Intended Victim—Had De- manded $5,000 in Cash. Omaha, March 11.—An unknown an- arohist entered the Merchants’ Na- tlonal bank of this city and demanded @ large sum of money, at the same time displaying a.bottle believed to contain nitroglycerin and threatening to blow up the bank if his request Wwas not complied with, The man asked to see Vice Presi- dent Luther Drake in his private oflice. Drake seated himself opposite the man, who began talking in & ram- bling manner about having had $85,000 in the Natignal Bank of Commerce in Ransas City when that bank falled. “And since all you fellows are in to- gother you had just better hand me over my money or I'll blow you and this bank and all of us to hell,” sud- denly said the fellow, producing a three-ounce bottle contalning & thick yellow liquid.” “Don’t you make a move. This is filled with nitroglycerin. It you move you are a dead man.” “You don’t want to die yourself, do you?” coolly asked Drake. “Oh, yes, I came in here ready to die,” responded the stranger, “but when I die I'll take everybody in this building with me.” “Well, I'll' go and get you the ‘money,” said Drake, rising from his chair, “Sit down,” said the anarchist. “If you get up again without permission Pll just drop this bottle. You know what will happen.” Banker Suggests Breakfast. Drake sat down and told the man he would talk it over with him and the stranger agreed, all the time keeping the bottle in his hand and within sight. Noticing that the man seemed thin and pinched Drake asked him if he ‘wasn't hungry. “I havé been studying ever this ‘matter for several days and have not eaten a thing for forty-eight hours,” answered the man with the bottle. “Well, let’s go have breakfast and talk this over,” proposed Drake. “All right, but don’t try any monkey business or you are a dead man,” replied the anarchist. President Hamilton of the bank en- tered the next room during the con- versation and heard enough of it to enable him to know what was going on. As Drake and the stranger left the room together Hamilton tele- phoned the police station for plain clothes men and followed the two men to a nearby restaurant. Drake and the man were on oppo- site sides of the table when three de- tectives, accompanied by Hamilton, entered the room. Slipping up behind the stranger the detectives pinioned his arms and relieved him of his bot- tle before he knew what was up. At the police station the prisoner gave his name as L. L. Fee and said he came here from Rockford, IIl, last October. He is a plumber, but had ‘been out of work much of the time since his arrival here. The police believe he is insaue. BOMBARDS ROYAL PALACE Insane Man Fires Dozen Rifle Shots at King Haakon’s Home. Christienia, March 11.—A Swede, apparently insane, fusilladed the royal castle here with a Remington rifle. He fired altogether a dozen bullets, several of which crashed through the windows ahd embedded themselves in the interior walls of the castle. The man was promptly seized by the police and disarmed. At the po- lice station he declared that it was his intention to kill King Haakon. He still had forty or fifty cartridges in his pockets. King Haakon and Queen Maud were absent from the castle at the time of the shooting, having recently moved to the royal residence at Voxenkol- lern. None of the palace officials or serv- ants was injured. PLACED IN ASYLUM. Aged Father of Mrs. Howard Gould Adjudged Insane. Jacksonville, Ill, March 11.—Insane from worry over the escapades of his two daughters, one of whom is Mrs. Howard Gould-and the other Mrs. Sun Yue, wife of a poor Chinaman in San Francisco, Sheldon Perry Clemmons, old, blind and helpless, was brought to the Jacksonville asylum and he is likely to remain a charge upon the state until death ends his sufferings. Clemmons, who is seventy years old, was adjudged insane by a com- mission at Pittsfield, IlL, in the Pike county court, on March 6. He is al- most totally blind and the authorities say that he s suffering from senility. Blame Not Yet Fixed. Cleveland, March 11.—“The loss of the lives of the little children in the Collinwood school fire was absolutely inexcusable,” Coroner Burke declared, efter making a thorough investigation. “I am not prepared yet to say upon whom the blame should be placed.” e e b National Methers' Congraes, Washington, March 11,—Delsgates fépresenting every stato and territory in the Union and the leading eoun- tries of the wotld assembled here to attend the international congress on the welfare of the child under the auspices of the National Mothers’ congress.

J.,, March 11—At the close of the performance of “A Mill- fonaire’s Revenge” at the Columbia theater here the police arrested George W. Jacobs, the manager of the theater; John T. Pearsall, manager of the Mittenthal Bros’ Amusement company; Harold Vosburgh, Gay Rhea and Louis C. Miller, members of the company. They are charged with pro- ducing an immoral play, which was founded on the Thaw tragedy. Kills Wife, Child and Himself. Piqua, O., March 11.—When four of the little children of Mr. and Mrs. David Davis of Pattytown went into their parents’ bedroom they saw their mother and a little one-year-old child lying in bed with their heads crushed by an axe. The deed was committed by the woman’s husband, who tried to kill himself with the same weapon. Finding he could not end his life in hanged himself. When Actors Play to Actors. “When he (Henry Irving) engaged me to play Ophelia in 1878 he asked me to g0 down to Birmingham to see the play, and that night I saw what I shall always consider the perfection of act- ing. It had been wonderful in 1874; in 1878 it was far more wonderful,” wrote Ellen Terry in McClure’s. “It has been said that when he had the ‘advantage’ of my Ophelia his Hamlet ‘improved. I don’t think so. He was always quite independent of the people with whom he played. The Birmingham night he knew I was there. He played—I say it without vanity—for me. We players are not above that weakness, if it be a weakness. If ever anything inspires us to do our best it is the presence in the audience of some fellow artist who must, in the nature of things, know . more completely than any ohe what we intend, what we do, what we feel. The response from such a member of the audience flies across the footlights to us like a flame. I felt it once when 1 played Olivia before Eleanora Duse. 1 felt that she felt it once when she play- ed Marguerite Gautier for me.” The Topsyturvydom of Religion. At the opening of King Edward VII1.’s first parliament he had to repeat after the lord chancellor an oath which con- demned in almost brutal words all things papistical. Yet held aloft by a Protestant peer for all Protestants to reverence was a veritable emblem of papal supremacy—a quaint little bon- net of crimson velvet turned up with ermine. This is the cap of mainte- nance, and so sacred is it that no hands but royalty may finger it. Thus the premier marquis, whose hereditary right it is to carry it, balanced it some- what after the fashion of a conjurer upon a white staff. -This cap was granted to Henry VIIL. by Pope Leo X. In the middle ages it was held as symbolic of the overlord, only being granted to vassals and feudatories ‘whom the lord wished to honor, so that it implies as nothing else could the su premacy of the pope over the kings of England.—London Standard. What Makes the Heart Buat? Professor Jacques Loeb, the celebrat- ed biologist, in his book, “Dynamics of Living Matter,” has shown that a strlp cut from the ventricle of the heart put in a solution of chloride of sodium will continue to beat for a number of days, until putrefaction sets in. He says this can be done with an ordinary muscle after it has been ex- tirpated from the body. This would tend to prove that the heart is a chem- lcal machine and that it is all due t5 chemical action. The muscular con- traction is probably due to the substi- tutlon of sodium for calcium salts in the cells of the muscles: - The difficulty of this theory is that it does not explain the control of the muscles. It is plain that the problem of control is not solved by the chem- feal theory. 2 Whistler's Odd Ways. Lord Redesdale once gave a deserip- tion of Whistler’s methods to a meet- ing in London in support of a memo- rial to the great artist. He was paint- Ing, he said, a portrait of a lady. ‘Whistler took up his position at one end of the room with his sitter and the canvas at the other end. For a long time he stood looking at his model, ‘holding in his hand a huge brush full of color, such a brush as a man would use to whitewash a house. Then he rushed forward and smashed the brush full of color into the canvas. Then he ran back, and forty or fifty times he repeated this. At the end of that time there stood out on the canvas a space which exactly Indicated the fig- ure, the form and the expression of the sitter. There was a pathetic story attaching to the picture. The bailiffs were In the house when the picture was finished. That was quite a com- mon occurrence, and Whistler only laughed, but he went round his studic with a knife and deliberately destroyed all his canvases, including this picture which was to have been his (Lord Redesdale’s).—Dundee Advertiser. that manner he went to the barn and | WANITS ONE CENT A WORD.
