They didn’t know what they were “bumping up against,” and in their childlike ignorance induced Andy McNabb to thrust under our editorial nose a big round silver dollar, which he asserted he would wager that the ¢‘bar hops” cculd ¢“‘skin” the printers. As Saturday was payday we “‘head guys” were broke, as usval, on Sunday, so we didn’t take Andy up. However, the game was played yesterday afternoon, and the bar- tenders bit the dust, securing the short end of a 12 to 3 score. The game itself was not such a bad one, and one or two cf the “‘old-timers,” who participated in the game, showed that they had not lost their cunning. Andy McNabb beat the air principally, when at bat and try as they would, the best the bartend- ers could do was to get three scores. On the other hand, the printers went after Schreiner, the First nine player who essayed to pitch for the bartenders, and got to him for some pretty good hits. He was succeeded by Pearl Davis, who pitched well for the remain- der of the game. The writer hereof pitched for the printers and we are proud of the fact that we didn’t hit any- body or didn’t heave the ball through the grandstand. Further than that this deponent sayeth not. The teams played as follows: Printers—A. Rauk ¢, Rutledge p» Markham 1b, Larson zb, Clark ss, Hendry 3b, K. Rauk rf, Ander- son cf, Brannon If.

(Continued from first page.) for dinner, the members of the post and the circle going to their hall, where dinner was served to them, exclusively. While the G. A. R. services were being held at the cemetery, the members of the fire department decorated the graves of two members of the department who are buried in Greenwood, they being George G. Fuller, who died September 29, 1904, and Will- iam Carlisle, died November 20, 1906. The fire laddies also placed wreaths on the grave of Chief Bemidji. At 2 o’clock, the members of the post and the circle, Campany K, the school children and large crowd of citizens assembled at the Colesium, where the indoor exer- cises were held. Commander Bailey presided at the services, which were opened by the audience singing “America.” Comrade T. ]J. Martin offered prayer. “Just before the Battle, Mother,” was sung in a very able manner by Mrs. J. E. Youngren. P. J. Russell read the Memorial Day proclamation- of Governor Johnson, in a strong, resonant voice that was punctuated with force and emphasis. Then came the drill by Com- pany K. This wasthe first appear- ance of the company in public, and it is known that the boys had drilled but four times, so but little was expected of them. First Lieu- tenant Hilliby took charge of the squad, and the boys went through several intricate movements with but slight dragging. The drill was applauded to the echo, the boys making a wonderful showing, con- sidering the short time the com- pany has been organized, and much credit is due to Captain Otto and Lieutenants Hilliby and Kelley. Mrs. Smythe sang the popular received. “Z‘I‘.&éfih\w'(}eltysbmg Address was lseadiby Prof. Ritchie, whose strong voice gave very good expression to the most excellent wording of that famous speech. 7 years of age, recited, “Off With Your Hat as the Flag Goes By,” and captivated the crowd by her very able declamation.

Bagley, June 1.—(Special to Pio- neer.)—While setting out nets in the Clearwater river yesterday, in the north end of Clearwater county, J. Peter Larson, a farmer living on the river, fell from his boat into the river and was drowned. The acci- dent occured at the point on the river known as Clearwater Crossing.

Judge C. W. Stanton and Court Reporter Samuelson have return- ed from Brainerd, where the judge had been presiding at the term of court for Crow Wing county. Judge Stanton delivered the oration to the G. A. R. Veterans and thelarge crowd on Decoration day at Brainerd. Friday evening court was ad- journed until June 8. At that date the case of the state vs. Wickland will be taken up for trial, Wickland is charged with having carnel knowledge of his 14-year-old daughter. The case will undoubtedly be stubbornly contested as Wickland has re. tained the services of T. D, O’Brien of 5t, Paul to defend him. Judge Stanton and Court Re- porter’ Samuelson will leave tonight for Bagley, where a term of district court for Clearwater county will begin tomorrow morn. ing. There are quite a number of cases on the calendar and it is ex pected that the term will be closed by the end of the present week.

A number of girls from the Be-|yternational Falls Defeated Brainerd. International Falls, June 1.— (Special to Pioneer.)—The first end- of-the-week special train which was run jointly by the N. P. and M. & I. railways from St. Paul to Internation- al Falls, arrived here early Saturday morning, There was a fairly good-sized crowd on ‘the train, including the members of the Brainerd baseball team, who had been brought here to play two games with International Falls. On Saturday Interuatlonal Falls and Brainerd played a game which resulted in the score of 9 to 1 in favor of the locals. The game was one-sided and uninteresting, the home team playing all around the visitors, Sunday’s game was a close and exciting contest, ‘the final score being 4 to 3 in favor of the “Falls.” “Tony” Hoover, who - was playing third bass, saved the day for Inter- nationel Falls by making a phe- nominal catch of a very difficult fly in the ninth inning, preventing at least one score and probably two, which would have tied the score or won the game for Brainerd. The batteries for the two games were as follows: Saturday—International Webbins and Wilson; Thomas and Parker. Sunday—International Falls, Fog- erty and Wilson; Brainerd, Hall and Parker. intricate “Star The children had been Mary F. Tschumperlin and Bernice Cass Lake 6, Akeley 0.

Constantinople, June 1.—According to an official telegram received here from Athens a mail steamer with 160 ‘women and children refugees from the island of Samos has arrived at Syra, one of the islands of the Cyclades group, and reports the continuation of a serious situation o® Samos. The refugees say that a battalion of Turk- ish troops recently arrived at Vathy, capital of the island, and at once com- menced to fire indiscriminately, Many people were killed or wounded. The story -of the refugees is discredited here. The Greek government is urging the three powers under whose protection BSamos ‘has been since 1832—France, Great Britain and Rusgsia—to send ‘warships to the island. The porte is anxious for a settle- ment of the trouble with the least possible bloodsheéd and has instructed its officials there to act with the great- est moderation. There is little sym- pathy here for the Samians, who are thought to have brought on the troubles by their own folly. Mrs. J. E. Youngren sang “We Shall Meet, But We Shall Miss Him,” in a most effective manner, her voice blending very nicely with the sentiment of the song. Commander Bailey announced that, owing to the wind and the unpropitious weather, the progrom of strewing flowers on the lake would be abandoned. Company ‘K. gave another drill, Second Lieutenant Kelly ‘in ' com- mand, and the boys again acquitted themselves with honor, receiving well-merited applause. The audience was dismissed, and the soldiers again went through a drill, on the banks of the lake. This concluded the best Memorial exercises ever held in Bemidji. Falls, Brainerd, Mymore 3, Bagley 0. The Nymore baseball team de- feated the Bagley nine in a closely- contested game on the former’s grounds yesterday afternoon by a score of 3 to 0.

Bonesteel, 8. D, June 1.—In his address here W. J. Bryan outlined the principal issues to be put forth by the Democrats during the coming cam- paign and Indicated what might be ox- pected in the Denver platform. In part he said: “We are just beginning a campaign. The Republican party has been in con- trol for the last fourteen years and will in the coming campaign ask for a continuation of power. The Demo- crats will present a criticism of Re- publican management and propose a change in the personnel of the officers and a change in the policy to he pur- sued. “The Democrats will ask: “Election of genatrs by direct vote of the people, that it may be easier for the voters to control the govern- ment. “Effective legislation against the trusts in order that the people may be protected from monopolists. “Reduction of the tariff in order that the people may be rellaved from excessive taxation. “Effective rallroad legislation that the people may be protected from watered stock and fictitious capitalism, for until we know what the railroads are actually worth we cannot deter- mine what they should collect in the way of transportation rates. “A reconciliation of the differences between labor and capital, that these two important factors in business may work harmoniously together. “The Democratic party will oppose imperialism, which is violating tha fundamental idea of our government and s at the same time increasing our expense for army and navy. *“The Democratic party will ask for legislation, state and natfonal, to pro- tect bank depositors and to prevent panics.” IN FIGHT FOR SENATE. Thomas F. Ryan and Others Said to Have Assisted Bryan.. New York, June 1.—According to a report printed here Thomas F. Ryan contributed $20,000 to a fund to sup- port & campaign in Nebraska in the fall of 1904, having for its principal object the election of Willlam J. Bry- an as United States senator. It was stated in this report that Mr. Ryan gave his check to William F. Sheehan and that Mr. Sheehan. gave other checks for that amount to T. S. Allen, who was then chairman of tho Dom. ocratic state central committee of Ne- braska and who is said to have been In New York at that time. It is as- serted that the donors of this fund expected that Mr. Bryan would, after this contribution, give an unqualified support to the candidacy of Alton B. Parker, the Democratic candidate for president, and that Mr. Bryan would “let up in his attacks on the financiers who were backing the campalgn.” Lincoln, Neb., June 1.—T. S. Allen, chairman of the Democratic state cen- tral .committee, denied a report that $20,000 had been contributed to Wil- Ham J. Bryan’s campaign fund.

L oS CLIMATIC ELEMENTS ASSIS Farmers Prevented From Delivering Product Because of Bad Weather and This Made It Easy to Handle the Market. Chicago, June 1.—Profits of $1,000, 000 each are the result of the clever operations in corn by James A. Patten and William H. Bartlett. Patten has also profits of $550,000 in oats. This does not represent a month’s work. They have stood in the gap and tak- en their chances throughout eight months of the cleverest and most suc- cessful campaigning in the history of the grain trade. ‘While the congestion in May corn and oats has been under way there has been no old-fashioned corner in the common sense of the word. There is a difference between a corner and a squeeze. There has been no time within thirty days when a buyer could not get corn or oats in the open mar- ket for May delivery or settle with Patten at the market price. He has sold his cash grain at a discount un- der the May price to make attractive prices for Eastern consumers. Never in the history of the board of trade has it been possible for squeezes to be run in May wheat, corn and oats and all be successful. This is what has happened in the past thir- ty days. The winnings have been larger on the quantity of grain han- dled than the oldest man in the-grain trade can remember. Various at- tempts have been made to run deals in May corn, but no operator has ever handled the corn and oats market at the same time and won out as easy or with as much profit as James A. Patten. Climatic elements are mainly re- sponsible for success in May corn. They prevented the farmers from de- livering ‘corn and made it possible to handle the markets with ease. Rain over the corn belt for the last two weeks has been worth 12 cents per bushel to Patten and the holders of corn. 3 The corn operations have been the most successful ever run in that ce- real, although there have been others of larger proportions, but none have made a profit anything like the pres- ent, nearly 30 cents a bushel being se- cured on part of the holdings and 25 cents on more than 4,000,000 bushels. The aggregate holdings of corn at the largest was 12,000,000 bushels, be- tween Patten and Bartlett, and of oats Patten alone had 12,060,000 bush- els bought for May. More than 5,000, 000 bushels have been sold at a profit of 10 cents, so that the corpse is not a large one in either corn or oats. UNIVERSITY GETS $150,000 “Corn King” Patten Donates Some of His Big Cleanup. Chicago, June 1.—A gift of $150, 000 for a gymnasium building at Northwestern university was made by James A. Patten, “king” of the corn pit in the Chicago board of trade. The announcement was made by Pres- ident A. W. Harris at the annual con- vocation of the students, held in Fisk hall. It was hailed with shouts and cheers. Evanston may lack its peace and quiet for some days to come, for the'students are wild with joy. Mr. Patten, who is credited with having cleared $2,000,000—more or less—in the corn market within the last two weeks, was in the audience. According to President Harris he first recelved the offer of the gymnasium at a luncheon several days ago. Northwestern university has been trying for five years to raise funds for a new gymnasium building. The present one was erected in 1872, It is small and poorly lighted. It was said that work on the new building ‘would commence as socn as the plans can be drawn and accepted. BID FOR GUNNESS RELICS Between Four and Five Thousand Peo- ple Attend Auction.
