HON. TAMS BIXBY TALKED WILL TRY TO GET STATE MEETING FOR BEMIDII ——— Delegates to Fireman’s Meeting at Mankato Will Boost Bemidiji All the Time. Earl Geil, chief of the Bemidji Fire Department, M. F. Cunning- president of the Bemidji Townsite ham, Herb Doran and John Wash-|company, arrived in Bemidji Satur- burn departed this morning for Man- kato, where they will attend the meet- | interviewing prominent local busi- ing of the state Firemen’s Associa- tion, which begins tomorrow. They | Simons, local agent for the Townsite are delegates to the convention and were joined at St. Paul by E. H. Cornwall, who is also a delegate to the convention. The party will do everytbing in their power to obtain the 1908 meeting of the association for Be- midji. It has been intimated that the Village of Cloquet will be unable to handle the convention next year, and if Cloquet draws out the Bemidji delegation will make a strong effort to succeed Cloquet. However, if Cloquet stays in and the meeting goes to that city the Bemidji dele- gates will make an attempt to have the 1911 meeting held here. At any rate, Bemidji will be very much in evidence at Mankato dur- ing the next two or three days. Great Ball in Sighf. One of the features of the meeting of the State Association of Elks which will be held in Bemidji June 18-19°20 will be two baseball games between Bemidji and Hibbing teams, which will .be played on the 18th and 19th insts. The Hibbing team is the acknowledged championship semi- professional baseball organization of northern Minnesota, and possibly of the entire state, and their consistent supremacy for the past four years has given the team an enviable reputation as a fast, aggressive bunch of players. Two years ago, Bemidji possessed a team which was the only northern Minnesota club to take a game from the range town; and ever since that time this city has been desirous of downing the crack Hibbing crowd. The local team, this season, has been a fairly strong organization, but is at present not fast enough to hold its own with Hibbing. However, several new players will be added to the team, men who are splendid ball tossersand who will lend a tower of strength to Bemidji, and it is believed that a battle royal will be witnessed at each of the games. Just who will be secured for Bemidji is not given out, but it is certain that at least one league pitcher, and perhaps two, will be secured, together with two other players, the positions to be hereafter decided. The Hibbing team will make a trip over the north half of the state, and their schedule of games is as follows: Superior, June 11 and 12; Staples, June 13, 14 and 15; Crooks- ton, June 16; Bemidji, June 18 and 19. T. F. Brady is the manager of the Hibbing team, and his little son, “Tom” is the mascot. The players on the team are the following: Gilli- gan, Glaze, Rosevar and Freeman, pitchers; Carroll, catcher; Booth, 1b; Head, 2b; Kerr, 3b; Calligan, ss; Fagan, rf; Geiselman cf; Burns, If. The Le Noirs at Brinkman. The Le Noirs have been engaged to reappear at the Brinkman Family Theater this week and will com- mence their performances tonight. While the Le Noirs were enjoying the fishing here last week manager Brinkman received many requests to re-engage this famous team. Accord- ingly, Mr. Brinkman secured their services and the Le Noirs and the Marionettes will appear every night this week in their marvelous met- amorphic mystery. The new pictures are excellent and will be up to the usual high standard maintained by Mr. Brink- man. Miss Hager will render a new song entitled"Angel of My Dreams.” Go to the Brinkman this even- ing if you wish to be well enter- tained. “Local” Leaves Earlier. Train No. 47, the Bemidji-Inter- national Falls freight train to which a passenger coach is attached, now leaves this city at 5 o'clock in the morning instead of 5:30 as hereto- fore, FOLEYSKIDNEYCURE Rialtos Kidnoys and Bladder Right Works Will Raise Sheep.

One hundred and fifty sheep were shipped to this city Saturday and were kept here over Sunday, to be shipped to Crookstou for Mr. Works. Senator Works believes that sheep raising can be handlee very profit- ably in northern Minnesota and he will engage in that industry quite extensively.

He became excited. “Sergeant, am I drunk?”’ he asked of the “noncom” in charge. “Yes-~take off your boots,” was the reply. “But excuse me, sergeant,” the de- linquent continued, “I am only half drunk,” “Very well, then—take one boot off)” said his superior.—London Scraps. Rifled Firearms. In the South Kensington museum are several wheel lock muskets with rifled barrels made during the reign of Charles L, if not earlier. Such barrels ‘were then usually called “screwed.” Zachary Grey in a note on “Hudibras,” part 1, canto 8, line 533, says that Prince Rupert showed his skill as a marksman by hitting twice in succes- sion the vane on St. Mary’s Stafford at sixty yards with a “screwed” pistol.— London Notes and Queries. [ T T T T i Sam Weller. It was Sam Weller who made Dicke ens famous. “Pickwick Papers” were a complete failure financially until this unique character was introduced. The press was all but unanimous in prais- ing Samival as an entirely original character whom none but a great gen- ius could have created. Dickens re- celved over $16,000 for “Pickwick Pa- pers,” and at the age of twenty-six he was incomparably the most popular author of his day.—London Standard. Hon. Tams Bixby of St. Paul, day night and spent Sunday here, ness men and conferring with H. A. company. Yesterday afternoon, Mr. Bixby met a number of the Bemidji Com- mercial Club and talked over several matters of mutual interest to the company and the local merchants and citizens generally. The matter of the proposed state normal school was discussed at some length—but not for publication. Mr. Bixby spoke concerning local business conditions and efforts that should be put forth for the better- ment of the city. He deplored the condition of Lake Bemidji, with its superabundance of log-bound shores, and also deprecated the unclean con- dition of certain back alleys in the business portion of the city. Mr. Bixby suggested several needed improvements, of a public nature, made a donation of $25 for the support of the Elks convention, and manifested a splendid spirit of co-operation with Bemidji people for a better and bigger city. Deer River Left the Field. Cass Lake, June 8.—(Special to Pioneer.)—The game of baseball played here Sunday between Deer River and Cass Lake broke up in a row in the eighth inning, when the Deer River team became incensed at what they claimed was a wrong- ful decision of the umpire, leaving the field and forfeiting the game by a score of 9 to 0. The dispute arose over the decision at the home plate when the umpire called the Deer River runner out, which resulted in a vigorous protest from the visiting players. The score was a tie, 2 to 2, when the Deer River batter knocked a sky scraper to deep right field. A runner was on second base and started to score on the hit, but Lydik who was playing in right field, made a phenominal throw to the plate and Catcher Fleming touched the runner, the umpire declaring him. out. As the umpire stuck to his decision the Deer River team refused to play out the game and left the field. The Deer River boys claimed that Cass Lake third baseman had inter- fereed with the base runner, other- wise the score would have been easily made. The umpire couldn’t see it that way, and the Deer River bovs collected their bats and left in great wrath. The game was a pretty one up to the time of the row. “Big ‘Gene” Grady, the Cass Lake twirler pitched a magnificient game. During the seven innings he struck out twelve men. He kept the hits well scattered. Errors, however, allowed the visitors to score two runs. Sewart also pitched a good game for Deer Rivcr. The action of Deer River in leav- ing the field is to be deplored as only bitter feeling has been engen- dered 'between the two teams on account of the unfortunate occur- ance, which broke up the game. Northome 10, Big Falls 0. Northome, June 8.—(Special to Pioneer.)—The local ball team went to Big Falls yesterday and in a one sided game handed the “Falls” team a shut-out on their home grounds. ‘The locals had their opponenets out- classed at every stage of the game and the latter were unable to get a player any further than the third base. Scribner for the locals pitched a phenominal game, allowing but two hits, which were scattered. He had the opposing batsmen completely at his mercy andthey were unable to get to him for anything that would count. Bishop, the new catcher for the local team, was given a tryout yes- terday and “made good.” He play- ed an errorless game behind the bat and got a hit every time he came up, making a couple of two-baggers and a three-base hit. Spencer, the Northome short stop, was hit by a pitched ball, in the first inning, and the locals played five innings with only eight men, but the balance of team all played snapoy ball and Big Falls was never in the running The score by innings: Northome..4 0010 4 0—10 The Great One lot 5¢ handkerchiefs, to close 2c One lot from 7c to 10c, to close 5c —_— DRESS GOODS Our entire stock of best prints and apron gingham during this sale per yd,. 5c One lot of Toile De Nord and dress ging- hams, regular up to 15¢c, sale IOC Novelty silk ginghams, best s5oc value, 290 0Odd lot fancy dress lawns, while they last.....
