HARDWARE. Blackduck—A. Gilmour. Nebish—John Lank, Carl Sater- lee. On a duly seconded motion the the following were elected as dele- gates to the democratic state con- vention: L. F. Johnson, W. R. Tait, P. J. Russel, A Gilmour, Eric Ives, James Price, A. F. Rauch, A, G. Rutledge. A. P. Ritchie moved that the del- egation be instructed to vote as a unit at the state convention which brought P. J. Russell to his feet in emphatic protest. Mr. Russell stated that he objected to vote as a unit as he considered it a species of gag and did not believe that anybody should submit to any such a ruling. Mr. Ritchie replied that he did not want to gag any one but that he stood by his motion. The motion was carried with only Mr. Russell dissenting, and the lat- ter demanded a standing vote. The standing vote resulted in nineteen ayes and four nays, and the motion was carried overwhelm- ingly. As O. M. Skinvik, chairman of the democratic county committee, had moved out of the county, L. F. Johnson was elected as chairman to succeed Mr. Skinvik, and he will hereafter act as chairman of the democratic county committee of Beltrami county. The meeting was a harmonious one up to the last few moments before adjournment when a clash showed that the Johnson men had control of the convention by a large i~ majority.

Ritchie, who is a | Member of the Library board of the Bemidji Public Library, has re- ceived a letter from the Carnegie library committee, in which that committee acknowledges the receipt of information concerning the pro- posed action of the city council of Bemidji in providing a suitable site for the new library building. In writing Professor Ritchie, the Carnegie people states that the sum of $10,000, which was recently offered the city for the erection of a public library building in this city is available, and will at once beforwarded, as soon as the city definitely settles the matter of the site and a clear title to the site 1s furnished.

The ¢“Calico Ball” given at the City Opera House last night by the Young People’s Dancing Club was a decided success, The ladies called for the gentle- men in true Leap Year style, The former were arrayed 1n calico costumes, .while the latter wore white coats and overalls.. All of the costumes were very ¢‘striking.” The hall was decorated with red, white and blue bunting. There were numerous couches and cozy corners and upon the curtains of ‘one of the latter were two spoons with this inscription underneath, ¢For Two Only.” Punch was served at one booth and pipes and Peerless were fur- nished to those desiring to smoke, As becomes a Leap Year ball the ladies were allowed to select their partners. The men were allowed two ‘‘gentlemen’s choice”. dances. The ladies served a dainty lunch at twelve o’clock, atter which dancing was continued until 2:30 when the party broke up amid the admiring acclamations of the gentlemen. Graduating Exercises at Tenstrike. Tenstrike, May 9.—(Special to the Pioneer‘)—'Graduating exercises were held last evening at the Jacob- son hall, two young ladies graduat- ing from the Eight grade.

Professor O’Driscoll and Miss Winans have given eminent satis- faction here the past year and it is hoped they will be re-elected for another term. They left this morn- ing for their homes in Stearns county. Howd Made Prejudiced Report. Information is received in this city that Special Agent Thomas B. Howd, stationed at Warroad, Minn., up to a year ago last January, died in Denver April 29th last. Howd is well known in the north county. He was one of the old time government agents who made this territory for many years.—Crookston Journal. Howd is the man who gained con- siderable notoriety, a few years ago, by making a report to the govern- ment authorities at Washington to the effect that the Cass Lake people who were attempting to. establish a townsite called “Richards” on the ao-called Indian reservation near Bena were using fraudulent means to gain their ends. e Howd’s report, no doubt, had much to do with the subsequent actions of the authorities, but his biased act was entirely uncalled for, as the Cass Lake people were acting in good faith, That their conten- tion was good was shown later, when the townsite of Bena was allowed on the same grounds that “Richards” was refused.
