You may not be able to get a raice in your salary at this time but you can save a portion of it in a number of ways. Just take notice of how much of your earnings go for foolish things and consider how the amount so spent would amount up - if deposited in the bank. Anyone with a Dollar and the ambition can start a bank account at this bank. When you have once started the rest will come easy.

Washington, May 20.—The nomi- nation of Milton D. Purdy of Miu- neapolis to be judge of the United States district court,succeeding Judge Lochren, resigned, will not be con- firmed by the senate during the present session. The judiciary committee held its last meeting to- day, unless the session shall be prolonged beyond Saturday, and the nomination was not reported out today. No opportunity will be given for the committee to act in the few remaining days. It is the intention of Senator Nelson to allow the nomination to fail for want of confir- mation. After the judiciary committee meeting today Senator Nelson said: “The appointment of Mr. Purdy will fail for want of confirmation. I was advised by a majority of the committee that if I desired an adverse report it would be made. Assurances have also been given me that a majority of the senate would vote to reject the nomination if I desired a vote to that effect. “I choose to adopt a milder course and allow the appointment to fail for want of confirmation, leaving the situation free for Presi- dent Roosevelt to act as he chooses in the matter.” The nomination of Mr. Purdy having failed in the present session, the next question to be presented is as to what action President Roose- velt will now take. He may choose to name Mr. Purdy as a recess appointment, but in the light of the result thus far obtained it is uncertain that he will do this, or that Mr. Purdy will be willing to accept an appointment coming to him in that way. Mr. Purdy would face the probability that the sen- ate would again fail to confirm the appointment, and he might serve as judge in Minnesota until December next with no chance of receiving compensation therfeor or any assur- ance that the sending of his name to the senate by President Roose- velt next December would have the effect’ to bring from the senate a confirmation. In the light of this situation, and with all indications pointing to a de- termination on the part of the senate judiciary committee to decline to con- firm the nomination of Mr. Purdy at any time, it may result in President Roosevelt’s sending to the senate another name, if Judge Lochren shall insist that his health will not permit him to remain on the bench during the next six or eight months. At all events, the next move is up to DPresident Roosevelt, and he doubtless will be guided in the mat" ter by what he regards as the possi- bilities ot the future, and to some extent, perhaps, by the wishes of Mr. Purdy. Prohibition Convention. Notice is hereby given that on Wednesday May 20, 1908, the pro- hibitionists of Beltrami county will hold a convention at the Baptist church, Bemidji, Minn., commencing at 2 o’clock p. m. - The object of this convention will be for the election of delegates to attend the state convention held at Minneapolis on June 8, 1908.

Rice of Fergus Falls, as manager of the Ninth Congressional district, will be present and will ad- dress the convention and in the evening at 8 o’clock will speak at the Methodist church on “County Option and State Prohibition.” Dated at Bemidji, Minn., May 16, 1908. A. W. Rice. Good Demand for Real Estate. A prominent real estate man, who does considerable business in Bemidji is authority for the statement that there is a heathly demand for Bel- trami county farm lands. To the Pioneer this gentleman said, yester- day: “I have had many requests for good farm lands in Beltrami counry. In fact, several people from Iowa, Illinois and Wisconsin have been corresponding with me for several months and a large party will be here in the near future to look over the land with the intention of purchasing homes for farming. Bel- trami county lands are all right.” PROGRAM 1. Overture Miss Aona Hager MOTION PICTURES 2. A Country Girl’s Sem- inary Life and Experience Illustrated Song 3.

When the fire broke out it looked as if the most flourishing industry in the village would be reduced to ashes. But when the noisy whistle sounded the alarm’of fire it seemed as if the entire community had recalled to mind the fire of 1900, which took away from the same site, the stronghold of the town, the Scanlon-Gipson saw mill, and with a spirit and energy never before exhibited in the village, almost every citizen joined in and for three hours battled the powerful flames. The fire had started in the dry- ing shed which was completely filled with timber, and with the wind blowing a swift gale toward the box and crating factory and the fire having a good start, things looked doubtful for saving any- thing. But the citizens joined in and with axes, crowbars and any- thing that would aid them, they tore away the connecting apart- ments, while the firemen with their streams of water, fought the flames. After three hours of energetic work the flames were subdued aud the drying shed was the only building destroyed. The damage will aggregate several thousand dollars. The origin of the fire is unknown.

HIGH SGHOOL WILL GIVE GLASS NIGHT EXERGISE| “Merchant of Venice, Up-to-Dafe,” Will Be Produced.— Good Enler- tainment Is Assured. The graduating class of the city High School will give their, Class Night exércises next Friday evening in the City Opera House. Music will be furnished by the high school chorus and quartet. ,The class will give their Class History, the Class Prophecy, the Class Will, the Class Poem, and the Class Gifts. The latter part of the evening will be taken up by the presentation of “The Merchant of Venice, Up-to] Date.” This is a laughable modern ization of Shakespear’s greatst com- edy, “The Merchant of ,Venice.” The public is solemnly advised to tighten up their belts before witness- ing this comical farce, or they will split their uldes laughlpg P The followmg short sketch of the play is of interest: x In thls play Shylock is a wealthy s v gambler, who became rich by betting on football games and renting “ponies” to football players, “who had no time to get their lessons in any other way.” Like Shakespeare’s Shylock, he has several character- istics of the passionate Jew. Instead of demanding a pound of flesh, as in the original play; he demands that, if Antonio does not retumn the “pony” within four weeks, a pound of hair to be cut off nearest his (Antonio’s) brains should be the forfeit. Through neglect, the “Dohy" is not returned and Shylock demands the forfeiture of the bond and has Antonio arrested during the great football game. In the darkest hour he is saved by the wit of his friend’s (Bassonio’s) sweetheart, Portio, For the purpose of purchasing a suitable memorial of the Class of 1908, a small admission fee of twenty- five cents will be charged. The entire’ down-stairs will be reserved and the tickets will be on sale at the City Drug Store Wednesday morning. There will be no extra charge for reserving the seats. The public is cordially invited to attend these exercises. Carter “Out West.” A. A. Carter, who has been at Washington for some little time, in writing from Spokane in a letter to A. G. Rutledge says: “My Dear Doc:—Well, old boy, I have been on the go since I left home, and have seen a great many old friends and relatives, and am as far as Spokane on my way home. I have had such a satisfactory inducement offered me by a new real estate firm here to stay and help them out for a couple of months, that I may decide to stay, although I regret very much not being able to be with you during the convention of the Elks. Hoping, however, to be with you in the not distant future, Iam, “Yours respectfully, —"“A. A. Carter.” M. & I. MAY SHORTEN TIMENORTH OF BRAINERD Officials Contemplate Making Stops Here, Night and Morning, Ten Minutes Instead of Thirty. It is stated that the officials of the M. & 1. Railway contemplate cutting down the time tweaty minutes in their passenger schedule from Brain- erd to International Falls. If the present intentions of the officials are carried out, instead of the train remaining a half hour in this city for supper at night and breakfast in the morning the train will be held here but ten minutes, it being the intention of the company to install a big lunch counter in the local depot, so that all who desire may get something to eat while en- route north ‘or south, as the case may be. take away considerable business from local restaurants and hotels, but would shorten the time of, the arrival at International Falls, also ’ give| twenty minutes longer for departure from that village in the morning.

Montgomery has re- cefved the count in but eleven out of her twenty-two precincts and other cities are similarly slow. The Johnson forces piled up a large vote in Southern Alabama and they carried perhaps half a dozen counties in the state, according to present in- dications, but not enough to endorse the Minnesota governor. The returns from country districts indicate a Bryan victory. Birmingham, Ale., May 20.—In South Alabama the Johnson forces piled up good votes in the Democratic primary. There will not be half a dozen coun- tles, however, if that many, to give majorities for the Minnesota governor for the presidency, though a good vote will be shown in dozens of counties.

Bryan, who delivered an address before the Pennsylvania peace conference in ses- sion in this city, when asked his views concernlng the outcome of the pri- matfes held ‘i Alabama, ‘where he secured an apparent :victory for the control of the national delegates to the Denver convention, said. i “Alabama was claimed by the oppo- R sition and while the vote is not a sur- prige to me it attracts attention be- cause the returns answered the mis- representations which have:been sent out, The primary system enables the ‘voters to express themselves. In this respect” our’ ‘Democrats in ‘the ‘West ‘bave had an advantage over the Dem- ocrats of some of the Eastern states, “| whére' the -method of selecting dele- gates does not give the rank gnd file of the party such complete control. ““T appreciate very much the fight ‘that has been made by my: friends in Penpsylyania and, in Alabama, for in Alahama they had the steel trust to fight and in Pennsylvania they had not 'enly--the ateel-trust:-but -several ather trusts. In fact, I do not know of any other state in which our people had so much to overcome as they had in Pennsylvania, The vote which I received here at the recent primaries answered the ‘misrepfesentations.
