On behalf of every Elk now assembled in Bemidji and of every Elk in the state, I want to emphatically refute such charges as are made by the News.” There were many cries of ‘‘You bet,” “Hurrah for Bemidji,” etc. In conclusion President Pease importuned every Elk to be present at the meeting of the State Associa- tion to be held at 1:30 p. m. There were loud cries for the Elks quartette of Crookston and finally Messrs. Krouse, Touton, Wessell and Hitchcock came to the front and responded with “Harrigan, That’s Me.” They were cheered to the echo and finally sang “Tele- phone Up There.” The crowd did not cease calling for them until they 1 rendered another selection. The convention was called to order about 2 o’clock this afternoon. A full account of the convention will be given in tomorrow’s paper. ; ciam ity i Welcomed Hibbing “‘Bunch.” A large crowd of people met the Hibbing delegation of Elks at the Great Northern depot yesterday afternoon. Mayor Pogue was at the train to welcome the visitors and; rode in- a decorated single-seated buggy drawn by a fine team of high-stepping horses. The buggy was covered by a purple and white colored canopy top, on the front of which was the inscription, ‘‘Mayor Pogue, Welcome Elks,” The Crooks- ton band and the reception com- mittee were present and gave the visitors a royal welcome and es- corted the aew arrivals around the city. 1ELKLETS 5 Doings Among the Antlered Brethren in Our City. A. C. Schmidt, “0ld Spoon Bill,” of Crookston came in with the Crookston herd last night and is browsing around the streets. C. R. Middleton, the Spooner attorney, is among the visiting brethren who is in the midst of the “swim,” here. C. R. has a host of friends in the north country. James Goodman, who is a mem- ber of tne: ouittnatar lodge No. 79 and who sells the “El Faterno” cigar, hove into sight last nisght aud has been here (cvery bit of him) all day, stirring up things. Jim is one of the very best Elks in the state and he has a host of friends among the Bemidji bunch. A fine bunch of Little Falls Elks, whose borns are “in the welvet,” during this summer weather, arrived in the city last evening and proceed- ed to get into the “Pasture” with the “browsers.” They are a warm bunch and not taking a back seat for any of the Elks from any other delegation. J. S. Scribner, he of the ball pate and the seven-day-advantist look, arrived in the city last evening from Walker for the purpose of mixing in the fray here. “Scrib” is county attorney of Cass county ‘|and an enthusiastic Elk, and it is said several of the brethren have retained him as their council in the Kangaroo court. The Hibbing delegation of Elks, headed by T. J. Godfrey, their ex- alted ruler, and George A. Markham as “co-booster,” arrived in the city yesterday afternoon, forty strong, and armed with the healthy deter- mination to secure the 1909 conven- tion. With the great mining in- dustry on the range as a special feature of the visit to Hibbing, the delegates took very/kindly to the in- vitation to visit the range town next year. And besides they’re a “durnd” good bunch and with their elegant baseball team made a very favorable impression upon the visiting Elks. Mr. and Mrs. Harry Ives of St Hilaire are among the Elks who have been enjoying the convention and reunion. Mr. Ives is one of the most populars members of the antlered bunch, from “down Crooks- ton way,” and in his day he could hold his own with any of the “browsers.” We are not very well acquainted with Mrs. Ives but we can assure the lady that Harry’s rep with the Elks is that of being a, “steer,” and if things go right he is liable to give the whole bunch a whirl befo “leaves. Mr. Ives is a candidate for the republican line of emblems always on hand. GEO. T. BAKER & €0, & A.a,g..,.m Watch Makers, Diamond Setters and Manufacturing Jewelers.

Mahara’s mastodon minstrels, with their splendid concert band and fine bunch of colored folks, gave an elegant performance in the opera house last evening before a large and appreciative audience. During the day the splendid Mahara Minstrel band, under the leadership of Quali Clark, appeared on the streets and captuyd every- body with their excellent music. They have a high grade of music and there are several solos of merit in the band. The minstrel performance in the opera house was very much better than the average entertainments given by the traveling minstrel troupes who make Bemidji. The en- semble singing was of a very high order. There are nine ladies in the bunch of merry makers and .with the ele- gant music furnished by the orches- Mahara’s Minstrels Tonight. vocal and Hughes, the combined instrumental effects is very tuneful. Solan Edwards, the fine interlocu-‘ tor, posesses a deep bass voice that isin the “cellar,” so to speak, as compared to other first floor bass voices. He has a voice of great volume and strength and his singing is. wonderful. Harry L. Gilhan, who has been with the Mahara’s for many years, is just as good as ever. He sang | some very 'clever. songs and his “mugging” and general all-around good work, entitles him to a place in the front ranks of minstrels in the country. Ed Fry does a Zulu act which he is highly artistic and very clever. The Mahara Minstrels are the best bunch of “coons” that ever visited this city and those who did not see them last night should cer- tainly turn out tonight. They're fine! tra, under the direction of Artus A “LOVE TAPM. A™ rirsSTe Crookst: Will be played at 10 o'clock tomorrow forenoon.

Koons, exalted ruler of St. Cloud lodge, trainéd up a serenade party after the Minstrel show .last| night and made the “welkin ring”” in different parts of the city. Mr. Koons got a hold of the minsirel quartette and dug up his party in short order. They went as far as the home of W. H. Vye, a former resident of St. Cloud and the crowd certainly had a jolly time. Mr. Koons was ably assisted by H. A.] McKenzie, Fred Price, Joseph Hilbie, P. A. Martin, “Bill” Ander- son and “Bill” Richards, all of St. Cloud, all of whom were accompan- ied by their wives and Mr. and Mrs. Richard’s daughter. A conspicuous member of the party was Dr, Bryant and his wife of St. Paul, who entered into the zest of the serenade with proper Elk spirit. W. W. Koons and the “coons” certainly had a good time. Arrested on Suspicion. Jesse Harry of Grand Rapids, deputy sheriff of "Itasca county, passed through the city this noon on his way home from Fergus Falls where he arrested a man by the name. of Reynolds on the charge of robbing a store and post-office at Ball Club, Mr, Harry had Reynolds in custody while passing through here, and Special Grand Jury at Grand Rapids. Grand Rapids, June 19.—(Special to Pioneer.)—The first special zrand jury ever summoned in Itasca county began its sessions yesterday morning. The jurors were all of them brought in under a special order made by Judge McClenaban in view of the developments which occurred yesterday in the case of State vs Boindich. Tt appeared during the examina- tion of jurors and after four men had been sworn on the case that the charged the commission offence as having taken place on'| September-1, 1908. This presented so serious a question that County Attorney Thwing relunctantly came to the conclusion that the indictment was defective, and so this morning dismissed the case. Biondich will probably be re-in- dicted as soon as the witnesses can be heard by the grand jury. He has friends who are assisting him and the case will be stubbornly contest- ed. Peculiar interest has been aroused over the prosecution, by reason of the fact that the alleged crime took place at Nashwauk about the time of the miners strike last summer. The defendant was charged with arson in having set fire to a boarding house occupied by some of the ‘men working-at the La Rue or Hawkins mine, The witnesses iaclude some of the mining company officials The latter have been anxious, it is took him to the county jail at Grand Rapi e =S understood, to have the case against iondich, indictment which had been returned, | of the| HELP WANTED, A A A A e WANTED—Competent girl for housework.
