BEMIDJI, MINNESOTA, SATURDAY EVENING, APRIL 25, 1908. FOSSTON VS. BEMIDJI IS THE GAME FOR TOMORROW Both Teams Have a Good Line-up, and an Interesting Contest Is Looked for.--- Game Will Be Called at 3:30 0’clock p. m., Sharp. The opening baseball game of the season will be played tomorrow afternoon at 3:30, at the down-town baseball park, when the Fosston and Bemidji teams will try conclusions; and as Fosston was the only visiting team that took a game from the locals last year, the contest tomor- row will be a “hummer.” The local team will have a strong line-up this season. With John Washburn as manager, the following have been placed on the roster of the team: Emerson, the famous south-paw Indian, who will be here probably next week; Baumgartner of Park Rapids, and Bush, the two latter will take their turn with Em- erson; “Big Chief” Louie Roy, than whom there is no better behind the| willow; J. Riddell, 1b (everybody knows “Reddy”); Petrie, 2b, form- erly of Park Rapids; Bert Parkar, 3b (Bert is “there” with the smooth work around the middle corner); Beale ss (Beale proved a fast one last year); Peterson (‘“Jack”) rf; Collins or Hazen (both are old-time favorites) cf; Bush (he’s about the best in the business in the outer garden) If. Baumgartner will pitch tomorrow’s game, with Roy catching. ‘The line-up for the Fosston team will be as follows: Heftness c, Vanevert and Murphy p, Blanchard 1b, Alm 2b, Ray 3b, Movold ss, Lohn 1f, Lutness cf, Campbell rf. This will be the first game, and as the players on both teams are not in gilt-edge form yet, there will probably be blunders on both sides, but the contest will undoubtedly be well worth seeing. Game called at 3:30 p. m. (Bush and Peferson Practicing.) DOINGS IN THE VARIOUS - GHURGHES OF THE CITY Hours of Worship and Subjects of Ser- mons to Be Delivered in the City Tomorrow.

Martin united James Dongherty and Gina Olson in the holy bonds of matri- Honor of the ““Profesh” at Stake. The editor of this great family necessity is reliably informed that a brother of the “third estate” is about to engage in mortal combat with a six-foot, experienced gentle- [man who has seen much service and who is skilled in the use of arms. Now, while the same rumor is authority for the statement that a “Colonel” has volunteered his ser- vices as one second for the brother scribe, we unhesitatingly offer our- selves as the other backer of the gentleman involved in the fatal inci- dent. “Lay on Macduff,” etc. BEMIDJI 0DD FELLOWS HAD ENJOYABLE EVENING With the Rebekahs, They Commemora- ted the Eighty-nineth Anniversary of the Order. Bemidji lodge of Odd Fellows held a very interesting meeting last night, the occasion being in commemora- tion of the 89th “birthday” of the order. A varied program was given, in which many participated, and which was thoroughly enjoyed by all. The Bemidji Rebekah degree team gave an exhibition drill which was really artistically performed, the entire company of ladies going through the intricate movements with a precision that brought rounds of applause from those present. (And, by the way, the Bemidiji Rebekah degree team has been complimented by grand lodge officers on the efficiency of the drill. In addition to the drill the follow- ing program was given: Piano Solo,. ... ....Miss McCauley Address, Rev.

About 100 were present and all were given a fine time. “MERRY WIDOW” HAT IS MOST POPULAR GREATION Is Subject of Much Jesting, but Is the Most Admired Millinery Production. Is the Merry Widow hat to undo all that the physical culture classes have accomplished for women during the past few years? The craze for the ten-acre head- piece has progressed so far that physicians are beginning to reply in the affirmative to this question. They are seeing visions of a race of stoop-shouldered women whose brows are creased with the wrinkles of care, all due to the efforis to keep the hats on straight while traveling in public. Other evils as a result of the fashion are apparent, but these are the chief ones. An investigator who traveled home after the moving-picture show at the Brinkman last night summed up his experiences today in a way that bodes ill for the women before the summer is over. “I first watched the Merry Widows at one of the corners and was amused at the antics made to pre- vent the wind from carrying the new skypieces into the lake. “A few days ago I had occasion to go to Crookston, and the Merry Widows and their attendants had an awful time. “Everywhere the women were making vain attempts to steer their huge, raft-like hats through narrow doors and with disastrous results. Once in the cross seats they natur- ally were seated by the windows, trying helplessly to balance their hats so that their escorts could find room to sit beside them. “One woman sat in front of me and was forced to lean forward to keep her hat brim from hitting the window pane. She was doubled up in a most undignified way, thereby crowding her lungs andm breathing almost impossible. “Another who sat right in front of a vacant space near a window was in an even worse predicament and fairly had to ride with her head bowed down into her hands. That certainly will make for round shoul- ders and cramped breathing appara- tus, if the style prevails much longer; FORTY CENTS PER MONTH “In one of the cross seats a wo- man, weary with lugging her aero- plane, had settled down with her head on the back of the seat and the wide back brim extended far over the seat backing up to the one she was in. There was a man there, fortunately. Ifthere had been an- other Merry Widow sailor one of | them simply would have had to move. As it was the man was chivalrous. He sat on the extreme edge of his seat so as to avoid the millinery just behind him and looked uncomfortable. ! “Anyone who has journeyed down the streets of Bemidji during the re- cent windy weather has seen the frautic efforts put forth by the wear- ers of these milliners’ dreams to keep them on and at the same time keep their feet. The strain natural- ly makes for nerves and wrinkles on the face. Altogether the new style is bound to have a bad physical ef- fect on the women before many months, besides badly disarranging their angelic tempers.” And, by the way, all styles of the “Merry Widow” can be secured at Henrionett’s Millinery parlors, head- quarters for women’s headgear. Jubilee Singers Coming. The next attractien at the City Opera House will be the celebrated Slayton Tenneseeans, jubilee singers. This is the well known organization that has been on the road over twenty years and the managers an- nounce that they have secured better talent than ever before. Wm. Hu Mason is the musical director this year and will be remembered as the director of the original Fisk Jubilees at the time Miss Maggie Cole was the sensation of the musical world on account of the wonderful soprano voice she posessed. Miss Io Maude Browne, the lead- ing soprano of the company, is de- clared by Mr. Magson, and in fact by all who hear her, ‘to be the finest colored singer of the present day. Otbher soloists of the company are Mr. Chas. Downs, a basso with a truly wonderful voice. Mr. Navarro, who has no equal as a robust tenor: Mrs. C. H. Downs, colorature con- tralto, and Miss Nelson, a remark- ably sweet mezzo-soprano, The program is made up of old plantation melodies and selections from the popular grand operas. This concert is to be given next Sattrday evening at the City Opera House. TELEPHONE SYSTEM WILL BE GREATLY IMPROVED Prominent Officials of the Northwestern Telephong Exchange Company Inspect Local Exchange. The Northwestern Telephone Exchange company is contemplating many needed improvements in the local exchange and the operating paraphernalia connected therewith, according to the statements made by several officers of authority of the company who were visitors in the city today; and which will be received with considerable satisfac- tion by the users of ’phones in Bemidji, who have put up with back-number apparatus, principally from the fact that the lqcal and district managers have been popular and the public is not prone to “kick.” M. L. Lane, general manager for the Norwestern Telephone Exchange company of Minneapolis; F. J. Dwyer, superintendent of construc- tion; John O’Donnell, from the en- gineering department; E. A. Pender- gast, attorney for the. company; and Frank Braceline of Crookston, dis- trict manager, came to the city last night and spent today looking over the local situation and formulating plans to meet the demands of the local exchange. It was ascertained that the general sentiment of the local users of ‘phones was that, con- sidering the plant used, the service was fair, but that more modern ap- paratus should be installed at once, and that more room should be ac- corded for the local exchange. The officials state that more com- modious quarters will be secured at once, and that the modern phones, with lines more clear of “butt ins” will also be installed. Representative Wood Pleased. Representative Wood of Elk River, accompanied by his son spent yester- day in Bemidji, leaving this mormng for his home. Mr. Wood was driven about the city and shown the various points of interest, and was very well impressed with the good things which we possess and the outlook for a bright future for Bemidji.

D. E. Pardell, who has several aliases, was arrested at Baudette yesterday and brought to Bemidji this morning to answer to the charge of fradulently obtaining board and accommodations at the Markham hotel in this city, and was lodged in the Beltrami county jail, to be given a hearing this after- noon. Pardell is wanted at Grand Rap- ids on a similar charge, and is said to have been working an advertis- ing scheme whe‘rebv he got ads for an alleged time table, securing the money in advance, and leaving without liquidating hotel bills or ever issuing the time tables. Pardell worked this scheme at Grand Rapids and got away without paying his bill, and also worked Be- midji, making his way towards the international boundry with the evi- dent intention of escaping into Canada, He was “nabbed” at Bau- detts yesterday, by the chief of police. Chief of Police Harry of Grand Rapids has a warrant for the arrest of Pardell, who will wrobably be taken to the “Rapids” for trial, should he get away here. e e DU R ADJUDGED INSANE AND GOMMITTED TO ASYLUM Halvor Tweeton, a Homesteader Near Shotley, Thought He Was Going to Be Scalped. Halvor Tweeton, a homesteader living near Shotley, was brought to Bemidji this morning for examination in the probate court to determine his sanity. Tweeton has for some time past been acting “queer” but has.never been violent and no fear was enter- tained that he would do anythtng of a desperate character. 'He has been haunted with the hallucination that someone is after his scalp, and has at times canfided this fear to his neighbors. Thursday night, he was again possessed of the scalp-hunting ideas, and being thoroughly convinced that self-inflicted wounds would stop i the hunt, he got out of bed, and get- ting an ax, chopped off one of his fingers. Several members of Tweeton’s family were still about the house, and notified the authorities, with the result that Tweeton was brought to Bemidji. s This afternoon, the sanity board examined Tweeton, considering him insane, and Judge of Probate Clark committed Tweeton to the asylum at Fergus Falls. Tweeton was for many years a resident of Crookston, serving several terms as deputy sheriff of Polk county. He was afterwards 2 mem- ber of the Crookston police force, quitting the force to go on a home- stead near Shotley. Come to the Brinkman Tonight. If you will come to the Brinkman Family Theatre tonight you cannot help looking on the bright side of life; forget all your troubles, your little aches and ills, and indulge in one hour of solid enjoyment. If you are a lover of fun, mirth and down-right enjoyment, “get in the game” and come and see Wills & GEO. W. WILLS AND GRACE BARRON. Barron; they enjoy an extended popularity, both off, and on the stage, and have established an excellent reputation- in Bemidji as performers. Mr. Wills was at one time promin-- ently connected with the operatic stage in the East, but owing to the arduous nature of the work his voice was unequal to the task. Neverthe- less, he is still a fine singer and a clever comedian. Turn out and see the big show, “Laugh and grow fat.” Likss the Pioneer. J. H. Linehan of Lakeville, in speaking to a Pioneer reporter, said: “I am a great reader; I take eigh- teen weekly papers, from all over the state of Minnesota, and the Bemidji Pioneer is far ahead of any of them, for the reason that the daily news of each day is condensed in the weekly. That _is why I missed it so much when it stopped coming.” For Tonight Only. Oranges, 25c per dozen. Bananas, 25¢ per dozen. Lemons, 25c per dozen. Apples, 35c and 30c per peck. Pineapple, 30c.

JAMES TOOLE AGQUITTED OF STATUTORY GHARGE Slashfng Finlander Given Five Years in “‘Pen.”—Other Court News From Walker. — Lo e Walker, April 25—3 p. (Special to Pioneer.)—The trial of cases in district m.— court is being expedited by the general efficiency with which Judge Stanton is con- ducting the present term, and the cases are being disposed of rather rapldly. The jury in the case of the State vs. James Toole (charged with bas- tardy) returned a verdict of not guilty and Toole was discharged. In the case of the State vs. David Monak, charged with assault in the the first degree, the jury found a ver- dict of assault in the second degree. This morning Judge Stanton sen- tenced Monak to the extreme penalty allowed by law—five years at hard labor in the state prison at Still- water. Monak got into an alterca- tion with a companion, near Bena. some months ago, and attempted to cut his companion’s head off with a knife, succeeding in lopping off an ear and inflicting minor other injur- ies. In the case of Lillie Beckham vs. Peter Beckham, wherein = the plaintif sued for divorce, the decree was granted the plaintiff. This afternoon the case of the state vs. James Bagling, charged with illegal voting at the recent Cass Lake village election, has been on trial before a jury, and the case will probably go to the jury before ad- journment. Judge Stanton and Court Reporter Samuelson will go to Bemidji this evening and spend Sunday there, returning to Walker Monday morn- ing to resume the trial of the remain- ing cases. e e e, kil
