THE FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF BEMIDJI Capital $50,000.00 Surplus $6,000.00 The Largest and Strongest Bank in North Central Minnesota | Law Relative to Fishing. | So many queries have been made. relative to the lawful taking of fish that the Pioneer deems it timely to quote some law on the matter, The only fish which may be taken| in any manner during the months of! March and April are pickerel, suck- ers, redhorse, carp and bullheads. These fish are termed predatory fish,‘] in that they prey upon the game fish, and they may be taken at all times of the year, either by means of hook and line or by spearing, From May 1 to February 1 it is law- ful to catch pike, muskalonge, crap- pies, perch, sunfish, catfish and sturgeon, but in no case except as mentioned above is it lawful to use a spear. Trout, any variety except lake trout, may be caught between the 15th of April and the first of Septem- ber, but with a hook and line only- Black, gray and Oswego bass may be caught with a hook and line at anyjtime between the 29th day of May and the first day of March. No person shall in ore day catch more than 25 fish, except sunfish, perch, pickerel or bullheads, and no person shall have in his posession any fish caught in the waters of this state except as provided by law. No artificial light shall be used in spearing pickerel, suckers, redhorse, carp or bullheads during the months of May and June. Fish houses are forbidden to be used after April 1st, and it is hoped that those who have houses on the lake at the present time will remove them before that date, and save un- pleasant controversics. No spring shooting is allowed un- der the provisions of the Minnesota game laws. The season is closed until next fall for the following game birds and acquatic fowl: Turtle dove, snipe, prarie chicken, pinnated, white breasted or sharp-tailed grouse, woodcock, upland plover, golden plover, wild duck, goose and all other acquatic fowl. “‘On the Bridge at Midnight.” A dramatic company of unusual merit will present ‘the noted scenic success “On the Bridge at Mid- night.” Monday, March 30. There is so much genuine human inter- est and entertainment in the play, which does not by any means depend on its famous bridge scene for its success, that it cannot be played by an ordinary company. It requires accomplished comedians and strong actors of serious roles. The character of the blind mother one of the most appealing of its kind is in competent hands. Her search for her kidnapped child is most pathetic but there are many incidents of pure humor. Belated Report. Clerk of Court Rhoda has received an additional report embracing a be- lated list of berths and deaths from the secretary of the state board of health, which shows twenty-six births and nineteen deaths in Bel- trami county which were not in- cluded with the original report. The original report showed 337 births and 108 deaths. The additional re- port was occasioned by the failure of the clerks of the town boards to U. S. Civil Service Examination. A competitive examination under the rules of the U. S. Civil Service Commission for the position of clerk (male or female) and carrier in the postoffice at Bemidji, Minn., will be held on Wednesday April 15, 1908, commencing at 9 o’clock a. m. Applications for examination must be made on the prescribed form, which, with necessary instructions may be obtained from the commis- sion’s local representative, Mr. S. A. Cutter, at the Bemidji postoffice or from the undersigned. Application will not be accepted unless received by the undersigned before 4:30 o’clock p. m., on Satur- day, April 11, 1908.

Toledo, 0., March 80.—The circuit court has affirmed the decision of the lower court in the cases of the twenty prominent lumbermen of Toledo who last July were sentenced to the work- house for six months under the Valen- tine anti-trust law. The supreme court having decided in the ice trust cases that imprisonment must be in the county jail instead of the workhouse the lumbermen were sent to the lower court for resentence. The lumbermen are wealthy and leading citizens of Toledo. The mandate of the circuit court will not be pressed for a few days and attorneys for the lumbermen will try to find a loophole by which the cases may be taken to the supreme court. The names of the lumbermen are: Marcus V. Barbour and Rowland Starr of Barbour & Starr; George W. Campbell and James H. Campbell of the Campbell company; Hiram R. Kelsey and George L. Freeman of Kelsey & Freeman; Reuben Kimball, treasurer and manager of the East Side Lumber company; Clarence H.

Frisco Newspaper Men on Trial for Criminal Libel. San Francisco, March 30.—The jury in the trial of R. A. Crothers and Fre- mont Older, proprietor and managing editor, respectively, of the San Fran- clsco Bulletin, charged with crimin- ally libelling William 8, Tevis, brought in a verdict of not guilty. The alleged libellous. article was published in May, 1907, and repeated in January, 1908, It charged that Tevis had entered into a corrupt bar- gain with Abraham Ruof by which the latter was to receive $1,000,000 to get the city to purchase the Bay City water project as a municipal . supply for $10,600,000; that it was a polluted and inadequate water supply and that Tevis would be indicted on the testi- mony given by Ruef before the grand Jury. Ruef did not testify in the matter until three months after the publica- tlon of the article and Tevis, the millionaire president of the water cor- poration, was never indicted. The trial lasted four weeks. PROBABLY FATALLY SHOT. Man Out of Employment Fails in First Attempt at Robbery. Philadelphia, March 30.—Discov- ered escaping with the booty of his first robbery, to commit which he said he was prompted by lack of employ- ment, John Robinson, aged twenty- four years, was shot and probably fa- tally injured by a policeman in the southern section of the city. In a statement to his widowed mother in the presence of a police magistrate the young man said: “Mother, this is what I got for try- ing to help you. I knew we had no money and that we would be put out of our house'if we did not get any. I got desperate and decided to steal.” WAVES SEVEN STORIES HIGH Sweep the Upper Deck of the Huge Mauretania. New York, March 30.—The unusual roughness of the sea during three days of the voyage made the many passengers of the Mauretania excep- tionally eager to land when the big steamer arrived here. Two days after leaving Liverpool the Mauretania en- countered heavy weather and ‘the waves began to sweep the upper deck, which popularly .is estimated about seven stories above the water. A huge wave struck the navigation bridge, breaking six of the heavy glass windows in the charthouse. The offi- cer on duty was cut about the face by the flying splinters. Lightning Kills Two Women.

London, March 30.—The bulletins fssued each day regarding the condl- tion of Sir Henry Campbell-Banner- man, the British premier, show little variance. 'None of them indicate any improvement and as each day passes PREMIER CAMPBELL-BANNERMAN ‘without signs of a rally the public anx- iety grows deeper. The last bulletin issued said that “there is little change to report in the condition of the prime minister. The patient had a good night and there has been no further marked loss of strength.” WOULD ACCEPT IF NAMED But Johnson Is Not Seeking the Democratic Nomination. St. Paul, March 30.—Governor John A. Johnson has made his position with respect to the “Democratic presiden- tial nomination clear in a letter to Swan J. Turnblad, publisher of a Swedish daily newspaper in Minneap- olls. It will be observed that Governor Johnson stands by his original posi- tion that the office should seek the man and not the man the office. The letter, in part, follows: “I do not believe that any Amer- ican citizen ghould bo an active, open candidate_ for, the nomination to the presidency, Any American would ap- preciate the high honor which could come to him in being selected as standard bearer of his party. “While I recognize that the press has had much to say of me in con- nection with this high office I have hitherto avoided any public or private expression regarding my position. Matters have progressed so far, how- ever, that it seems to me that I should at least say, in answer to your interro- gation, that if the Democratic party of the nation believes me to be more available than any other man and felt that by my nomination I could con- tribute any service to the party and to the nation I should be happy to be the recipient of the honor which it ‘would thus confer. “I have done nothing and will do nothing in the way of organization to bring about this end and shall not be a candidate in the sense of seeking the nomination. If, however, those ‘Wwho have the welfare of the country and the Democratic party at heart should feel that I am necessary in this year of grace I certainly shall respond to any call which may be made upon me.” PRAISES ASSASSIN’S -VICTIM Marquis Ito Mourns the Death of D. ' W. stevens, Tokio, March 30.—Marquis Ito, Jap- anese resident general of Korea, will leave here for that country on April 2.

Marquis Ito saild to the, Associated’ Press corre- spondent: "I regard the death of Mr. Stevens 8s a national disaster and a personal loss. He was a loyal friend and serv- ant of Japan and Korea and both na- tions mourn his loss. Mr. Stevens was my personal friend. He was hon- est and fearless, with a well balanced mind and I regarded him as a fine type of the American. He was al- ways a loyal citizen of America and his memory alone will serve to in- crease the friendship of my country- men for his.” 7 Wrecked for Second Time.

W77% 2owds, BOM FOR THE POLICE 50 D Oy, OFFICERS ESCAPE DEATH Deadly Missile Is Hurled at Them, but Only Participants and Spectators Suffer, Two Being Killed and a Num- ber Injured. New York, March 30.—Two men were killed and a number of persons injured when what had been a fairly peaceable meeting of unemployed de- veloped into an anarchistic demon- stration and a bomb was thrown and exploded. A crowd, numbering prob- ably 10,000 persons, gathered in Un- lon sguare to take part in a meeting. Ther® were many women in the gath- ering and several speakers of local prominence had been announced to make addresses. A force of 150 po- licemen, most of them mounted, were on duty 4n the square to maintain or- der. As the big crowd assembled it was noticed that there were numerous red flags to be seen and that a num- ber of the persons wore red hats. At some signs of disorder the police started to disperse those who were responsible for the disturbances and drove many of the men and women into the side streets around the square. Little or no resistance was offered and the square was almost cleared of the throng. One of the men engaged in the demonstration rushed swiftly into the square and threw a bomb, which landed near the Union square fountain, in the rear of which a squad of policemen had. been sta- tioned. Two Dead; Several Injured. There was a cloud of smoke and a loud report and a number of persons ‘were seen to fall. The police reported that two men had been killed and several others injured. The crowd, now composed of sightseers as well as those who had taken part in the meet- ing of the unemployed, were panic stricken and fled rapidly. Selig Silverstein, about thirty years old, who lived in Brooklyn, is accused by the police of havihg thrown the bomb. He was taken to Bellevue hos- pital in a dying condition. Silverstein’s right hand was blown oft and one leg was almost severed from the body. The name of one of the dead men was Irwin Rassky. Immediately following the explosion the police began to round up and ar- rest as many as possible of those im- mediately within the neighborhood of the explosion. One of the patrol wag- ons, which had come filled with police, was promptly loaded with suspects end driven back tc the new West Twentieth street station house. NEGRO WILL RECOVER. Man Shot by Congressman Heflin Greatly Improved. Washington, March 30.—Lcuis Lun- dy, the negro who was shot by Repre- sentative J. Thomas Heflin of Ale- bama after an altercation on a street car, is greatly improved and will re- cover, according to the hosgital .au- thorities. The bullet, which entered his head above the left ear, has not been found and an X-ray examination will be made to locate it. Thomas McCreary of New York, who recelved one of the shots fired by the congress- man in his leg, was only, slightly in- jured. The shooting followed an attempt of Congressman Heflin to compel two drunken negroes on the car to behave themselves. McCreary, who was a passenger, was accidentally shot. ON TRIAL AT WINNIPEG. United States Officer Acquitted on Kidnapping Charge. ‘Winnipeg, Man., March 80.—George E. Foulkes, the American secret serv- jce officer charged with kidnapping Albert E. Tolton from Emerson and conveying him across the boundary, was released by Justice Cameron. In releasing Foulkes the court based the discharge on the integrity of the ac- cused American and on his honesty of purpose as guardian of custems. The judge held that there was no evidence that violence had been used to sign papers, the witness admitting himself he was guilty of smuggling barley. Judge Cameron apologized on be- half of the Canadian government at the inconvenience to which Foulkes had been subjected. “Three Die in Tenement Fire, Milford, Mass, March 30.—The death of an unknown child at the Mil- ford hospital as the result of injuries received at a tenement house fire here brought the number of victims of the fire to three, with the possibility that it may be still further increased, as Mrs. Susie Bates and an unknown child are still in a serious condition at the hospital. City Council Forced to Act. South Bend, Ind., March 30.—Forced to action by a committee of fifty prominent citizens the common coun- cil has ordered all questionable re- sorts, including gambling houses and alley saloons, immediately closed.

Russell, the American minister to Venezuela, in a note dated March 21, advised Dr. Jose de Jesus Paul, the Venezuelan foreign minister, . that three pouches’ of official malil that were . brought into La Guayra on March 1§ by the steamer Zulia for the American cruiser Tacoma had been opened in the La Guayra post- _office: .The! .Tagoqx'i, arrived at La Guayra March 18 and~is still ‘there. Mr. Russell said it was a very serious thing to break the seal of navy cor- respondence and he asked for an in- vestigation. Dr. Paul answered Mr. Russell’s note, enclosing a-report from the La Guayra postmaster. He said the open- ing of the pouches in question was accidental and was due to the fact that the seals on them were similar to others in use in the La Guayra postoffice that it was customary to open. In addition Dr. Paul said that only a prejudiced mind could call this occurrence ‘“very serious,” as the con- tents of the pouches had not been disturbed. Kansas Mines Will Close. Pittsburg, Kan,, March 30.—On Tuesday all of the coal mines in this district will shut down by mutual consent 6f the miners and operators and will remain closed for sixty days.

KAISER PICKS HIS OWN MAN Would Accept Lleyd Griscom as American Ambassador. Washington, March 30.—It . was stated at both the White House and state department that no additional Information ‘had been received from Berlin since the informal dispatch sev- eral days ago indicating that Dr. Da- vid Jayne Hill would be persona non grata to Emperor Willlam as Amer- LLOYD C. GRISCOM. ican ambassador to Germany. Offi- cials of the state department, after reading the recent press dispatches from Berlin to the effect that the em- peror would be gratified by the ap- pointment of Ambassador Lloyd Gris- com, now stationed at Rome, com- mented on what they regard as addi- tional discriminations against Dr. Hill. Dr. HII'S Teputation us a diplomaust is regarded here as inferior to nonme. That the German emperor should in- dicate a preference between two men, one young and wealthy and the other an experienced statesman and diplo- mat, is looked upon with some sur- prise. It is clear that considerable anxiety is being suppressed pending the receipt of Ambassador Tower's tetter of explanation. ALDRICH BILL PASSED. Adopted in Senate by Practically a Party Vote. ‘Washington, March 30.—By a vote of 42 to 16—in the main a party vote —the senate passed the Aldrich cur- rency bill and the fate of the measure now rests with the house, with the result in doubt.

Banks are to pay for this emer- gency circulation half of 1 per cent a month during the first four months it Is circulated and afterwards three- ftourths of 1 per cent a month. FORTY SPEAKERS IN FIELD Liquor Interests of lllinois Fighting Prohibition Wave. Chicago, March 30.—The liquor in- terests of Illinois have adopted a gen- uine Chautauqua plan to combat the sudden uprising of prohibition that threatens to make considerable “dry” territory on April 7, election day. Two thousand Illinois cities, towns, vil- lages and townships will vote on the “wet or dry” question on that day. The only difference between the lquor men’s Chautauqua scheme and the ordinary kind is that 'its forty lecturers are restricted as to their subjects of address to the anti-prohi- bition topic. 2 This unusual move began when W. B. Hull, general manager of a Peoria fstillery, opened headquarters in ‘hicago. “I now have forty lecturers in the field, most of them preachers, both n and women,” said Mr. Hull. “In ¢ next seven days they will make 800 speeches in all the principal towns of the state.” Mr. Hull, who will keep his anti- prohibition quarters open until after slection, said he was working under Lhe auspiees of the Manufacturers and Dealers’ association of Illinofs.
