SUBSCRIPTION---$5.00 PER ANNUM —_— e Tne splendid campaign which is is being made byJ.O.Harris,the pres- ent occupant of the office of register of deeds, is to be commended by all. Mr. Harris has held the office for four years and has at all times been a painstaking and obliging official. His record as an official is above reproach, and the Pioneer predicts that he will be a winner at the primaries, September 15 The Bemidji Daily Pioneer has decided to give the business men of that city three months in which they may either rally loyally to the support of the paper, or the daily will be discontinued and only the weekly paper issued. Bemidji has pointed with pride to its daily, but this local pride did not pay off the help in the newspaper office. ~ The Daily Pioneer has not been a pay- ing proposition and the promoters haye reached the point where they will sink no more hard cash in the venture. Either the business men must come forward with more adver- tising patronage and general sup- port, or the daily will pass out of existence. Bemidji should come forward with the goods and help a good cause along.—Hawley Her- ald. GREAT CHANGE FOLLOWS. Infused With Pint of Hus- band’s Blood.

Residents Scurry From Their Beds to the Streets in Alarm. in Several Eureka, Cal, Aug. ..—Three sharp earthquake - shocks, which knocked dowan more than a hundred chimneys, shattered about forly plate glass win- dows in the business portion of Eu- reka, broke much crockery in the houses and sent many people scurry- fng from tfeir beds into the streets, cccurred here between 2:30 and 5:30 2. m: The damage reported so far is estimated at between §$2,000 and $3,- 000. The first shock was almost as gevere as the one felt here on April 18, 1906. The first shock caused practically all the damage. Besides shaking down many chimneys and breaking crockery ihe trembler caused the six- teen-foot statue of Minerva on the county courthouse to drop her heavy staff, which crashed through the roof into Superior Judge Hunt's court- room. The walls of the courthouse were cracked in several places, but the damage is not great. ed five years ago at a cost of $25,000, were slightly cracked. Reports from the Seazy ranch near Fresh Water, six miles north of Eu- reka, state that the earthquake caused n big fissure in the earth for half a mile. thrown down in that vicinity, but oth- erwise little damage was done. The shocks extended as far north as Blue Lake, twenty-five miles from Bu- reka, where some crockery was broken and half a dozen chimneys knocked down. ~ The shocks seem to have been con- the towns and villages of the dual|fined to a small area and the vibra- tions were southwest to northwest.

Y., Aug. . ).—Sev- eral thousand Italians, who are here celebrating the feast of San Rocco, are convulsed over an attempt to kill Father Marianaro, priest of the Church of Our Lady of Mount Car- mel. The priest, because of the hard times, had urged his congregation to give up the feast and by so doing had raised much bitter feeling. Its result was an attempt to kill the priest. Two bullets were fired through the window of his bedroom and had the priest been in his accustomed chair he would have been shot. ‘Warring factions among the Ital- jans as a result of the attempted crime may bring serious trouble be- fore the end of the celebration.

W., Aug. .9.—Sydney is awaiting the arrival of the Amer- ican battleehip fleet on the tiptoe of oxpectancy and the seven days that the vessels will be here will witness a series of entertainments more elab- orate than ever before has been given in New South Wales.

Chicago, Aug. i\9.—The Democratic congressienal situation was ' the sub- Ject matter of an extended conference between National Chairman Mack and Congressman James Lloyd, chairman of the Democratic congressional com- mittee, after which it became known that the Democratic national commit- tee would not only co-operate with the congressional committee wherever possible, but would render any finan- cial aid necessary. The two commit- tees have worked heretofore harmoni- ously as separate organizations, but it was deemed more advantageous for the conduct of an effective congres- sional campaign to have a close work- ing alliance. Congressman Lloyd told Chairman Mack that the prospects ‘were bright for the election of a Dem- ocratic house of representatives and with proper aid from the national committee many congressional dis- tricts formerly regarded as safely Re- publican would be found this year to be Democratic. Chairman Mack told Congressman Lloyd that the national committee could be depended upon to give any assistance required. Nearly Swims English Channel. London, Aug. 7).—Of the many at- tempts to swim the English channel none has come nearer in resulting in success than that made by T. W. Bur- gess, the blacksmith swimmer. Bur- gess was compelled to give up his at- tempt within one mile of Cape Gris- nez, on the coast of France, because of the adverse tide. Burgess, in spite of the rough sea and the currents, which carried him miles out of his course, remained in the water for twenty hours and eleven minutes. Send Invitation to Roosevelt.
