¥ THE BEMIDJI De VOLDME 6. NUMBER 121. THWING'S MANAGERS GET DOUBTFUL ENDORSEMENT At the “Eleventh Hour” They Will Spring an “Endorse- ment”’ from Ex-Judge Holland, Who Has, Long Since Retired from Active Public Life. One of those surprising moves peculiar io the winding up of poli- tical campaigns has just appeared in the contest for the republican nomination for judge in this dis- trict. Mr. Wright of Park Rapids has had the rather unusual good fortune to have the unanimous support of the republicans of his home county all the way through the campaign, while Mr. Thwing of Grand -Rapids has, as appears from his own‘cam- paign literature and newspapers, labored under very strong home opposition. ) Now in the last stages of the cam- paign, possibly hoping to take the opposition by surprise, the support- ers of Mr. Thwing have had printed and will no doubt circulate by mail through the district a letter, signed by Geo. W. Holland of Brainerd, endorsing the candidacy of Mr. ‘Thwing and incidentally speaking a good word for the democratic-inde- pendent candidate. No one would deny to any one the perfect right to endorse the candi- date of his choice for any office. But when it is done in this way, at this late day and at such expense to the individual making the endorse- ment, thereis no reason why the public at large has not the right to scrutinize the act for motives and results. Judge Holland, as is well known in all the older settled portions of the district, is now and always has been a staunch. rock-ribbed demo- crat, never dabbling in politics except for himself or some other democratic candidate. And in this instance quite a reasonable presumption is raised that this endorsement is really intended to benefit the independent candidate rather than Mr. Thwing. This presumption is the more reason- able in view of the fact that in Brainerd, where Judge Holland lives, Mr. Thwing is not strong and is regarded as the easier man of the two republican candidates to beat. We do not know how extensive an acquaintance the Judge may have with Mr. Thwing, either as a man or lawyer upon which to base his endorsement, but we do know this, that Judge Holland was defeated for the bench by Judge McClenahan eight years ago and immediately retired from active practice of the law and has seldom been in court since, while Mr. Thwing did not begin practice in Grand Rapids until a year later, or seven years ago. Moreover it is quite well known throughout the older counties, at least, that eight years ago, !when Judge Holland ran against Judge McClenahan, Mr. Wright, the other republican candidate for nomination at the coming primaries and against whom this endorsement is expected to act, was a strong and active supporter of Judge McClena- han. The result of the move will prob- ably be ineffective to any great extent, but will doubtless benefit Mr. Wright as much as Mr. Thwing. Endorsements coming this way and so late in the campaign as to leave no opportunity for comment, at least creats a suspicion that does not take well with the people, espec- ially in a campaign for judge. In these contests these voters like to see everything above board. If endorsements of this nature are worth anything at all they are more valuable the earlier they reach - the people. There is no reason what- ever to keep them back until the last week, unless it be to create a false impression. KETGHELL WAS KNOGKED OUT IN TWELFTH ROUND Papke Put Up Wonderful Figbt.—Abe Attel and Owen Moran Fought a Draw. Los Angles, Cal., Sept. 8. —Stanley Ketchell, of Michigan, former mid- dleweight champion of the world, was knocked out in the twelfth round at Jeffrfes’ Vernon arena at 4 o’clock yesterday afternoon by Billy Papke, of Illinois, who is now middleweight champion of the world. “It was a case of the Illinois “Thunderbolt” against Michigan “Killer,” and the ‘“Thunderbolt” won. Both men entered the ring in apparent perfect condition, and neither had ever been knocked out. Ketchell had the decision over Papke in a previous ten-round bout. The bout ended as one of the blood- iest in ring history. Attel and Moran Draw. San Francisco, Sept. 8.—Abe Attel, the champion featherweight of America, and Owen Moran, Eng- land’s premier boxer in the same division, fought a draw battle at the Colma open air arena yesterday afternoon in the presence of about 6,000 spectators. The battle lasted 23 rounds and at its conclusion Referee Jack Welsh unhesitatingly grasped both lads by the hand signi- fying that the fight was adraw. The decision seemed to please the crowd and there were cheers for each fighter as he wended his way from the ringside. BEMIDJI, MINNESOTA TUESDAY; EVENING SEPTEMBER 8, 1908. EXBIIRSII]II T0 RED LAKE WILL BE GIVEN SUNDAY M., R. L. & M. Ry. Will Run: Specia Train Leaving Bemidiji at 9 in the Forenoon. Many Bemidji people are looking forward with anticipated pleasure to the excursion to Red Lake which will be given urider the aus- pices of the Minneapolis, Red Lake & Manitoba Railway company, next Sunday, when a special train will leave Bemidji for Redby, and |from that place a crowd will be taken to most any point desired on the shores of the famous Red Lake, the largest body of fresh water wholly within the boundaries of the United States. The Red Lake railroad people have given a previous excursion this year, and the affair was very well patronized, the people of the city and many transcients who were Bemidji guests at that time taking advantage of the opportunity to visit one of the most interesting places in the entire state. That excursion was so well enjoyed that the management of the railroad has been prevailed upon to run another excursion. The special train to Redby will leave Bemidji at 9:30 a. m., and returning from Red Lake will arrive in Bemidji at about 9 o’clock in the evening. The new gasoline boat which the railway company owns and which is operated on Red Lake, will be at the - disposal . of the excursionists, and where the crowd will be taken depends upon the weather. Should the lake be stormy, it is more than likely that but a short trip will be taken on the boat. If the weather is fair, the crowd will be taken to any point on the lake desired. There are so many interesting points to visit on this trip that no one who can should miss the excur- sion. There is the old church and burial ground at Redby, where the Indians for years worshipped ac- cording to their aboriginal ideas; and the Indian agency, a short dis- tance up the shore from Redby is always a place of interest. The fare for the round trip from Bemidji is but $1. Millinery Opening. Fall millinery opemng Sept. 11th and 12th.

Monster Tape Worm That Menaced His Life for Years.—Ladies' Wood Sawing Contest Tonight. The great Vurpillat continues to wage hisrelentless baifle against the germs and parasites; that sap the life of humanity. The success with which he is conducting his cam- paign is equal to the best general- ship in" any war; in fact, it .is almost miraculous. It is no wonder that he makes so many friends wherever he goes, for the number of people who are relieved of their sufferings are enough to make a small army, although his stay is comparatively short. Today, among the many callers at the office was Mr. Roy C. Smith, who is staying with his wife’s mother at her home on the corner of Ninth street and Park street. Mr. Smith brought with him an old fruit jar containing a tape worm over 90 feet in length, which he said had just passed from his system, after using the Wonder- ful Discovery. In speaking of his case, Mr. Smith said he had been sick for years. He was of a very nervous and irritable disposition; his sleep was broken and unrestful; his appetite irregular, at times ravenous while at others the very sight of food would be obnox- ious to him. He had pains continu- ally across the small of his back. His wife pursuaded him to try Vur-| pillats Wonderful Discovery and after taking a few doses he passed this monster paracite, Mr. Smith said: “I feel confident that the cause of all my sickness has been removed and I can cheerfully recommend your Discovery . to anyone suffering like I did.” It is such testimonals as these that increase the popularity of Vurpillat and convince the skeptic that his formulas will do as he represents. The office at 411 Bemidji avenue ‘continues to be crowded with people seeking health, from 9a. m. to 5 p. m., consultation and advice free. Tonight a special feature on the program will be the ladies’ wood- sawing contest, which will be very exciting and interesting, as a large number of ladies have entered their names, and no doubt a large crowd will be assembled on the vacant lot, corner of Bemidji avenue and Fourth street, to witness this event.

A crowd that comfortably filled every available inch of dancing space on the floor of the City Hall, participated in the first annual ball given by the Bemidji Improved Order of Red Men last evening. Every arrangement had been made for the comfort and enjoyment of those attending the ball, and the affair was very nicely conducted. J. Bisiar, Andy McNab, C. Christen- son and J. J. Doran were very attentive and had so arranged the details of the dance that everything moved along very smoothly. A six-piece orchestra furnished a high quality of popular music, and even when the strains of ‘“Home, Sweet Home” were played by the musicians the dancers were loath to desist from their terpsichorean efforts, which all had so greatly enjoyed. W. B. Maclachlan was present and acted as prompter and assisted in handling the floor. “Mac” is the best ever,” and he was particularly effective last night. The dance was a financial success, and the menibers of the lodge desire to extend thanks to the many who purchased tickets and helped make the success. The College Boy. When Charles Riggs & Sons arranged for the production of “The College Boy”’they evidently had in mind a form of entertainment that would appeal to all classes. That there original ideas and snbsequent formation of them were based upon keen observation, is known by the remarkable favor with which the opening has been received for three consecutive seasons. The song and comedy features embrace novelties that appeal to every one from the gallery to the critics in the paraquet there are not a dull moment in the whole performance, it giving the comedian, Bernark Riggs and sup- porting cast, ample opportunity of demonstrating their talents as singers dancers and farcers. The plot sustains a pretty love story and the sorgs and musical numbers are “hits.”—everyone. ~THE COL- LEGE BOY—One of The Finest. At City Opera House Thursday, Sept. 10. Notice to Employers.

FORTY CENTS PER MONTH “FARMERS’ RACES” T0 BE FEATURE OF COUNTY FAIR Secretary Mackenzie Announces Some Unique ““Hoss” Con cests for First.and Last Days.—Only Beltrami County-Steeds Can Enter. W. R. Mackenzie, secretary of the Beltrami County Agricultural association, announces that an inno- vation will be made in the horse racing for the coming fair, which will be held in Bemidji on Thurs- day, Friday and Saturday, Septem- ber 24-25-26. Instead of spending a large sum of money for races, to be contested for by professional horsemen, Mr. Mackenzie says that the fair man- agement has decided to putona series of “farmers’ ”’ races, in which only horses that have been used on the farm will be allowed to par- ticipate. These races will be held on the first day of the fair, Thursday, September 24, and the last day, Saturday, September 26, with three races each day. They will be con- ducted in such a manner that they cannot prove otherwise than very interesting. The first race for each day will be a pole team race for farmers, pace or trot, best two heats out of three. First prize, $25; second, $15; third, $7.50. The second race will be for farm- ers’ single-driving horse. The rules of this race are that all sulkies must i be at the starting place five minutes before the word “go” is given for the race; all horses that participate the race must be lead on the track by the halter. When “go” is given by the starter, owners of horses must harness and also hitch them to the sulkey and start on the race with- out further signel. No horse or vehicle which has ever been pre- viously used in a race will be allowed in these farmers’ races. They are gotten up strictly for the farmers of Beltrami county and no race horse will be allowed to contest for the purses. Pneumatic-tired sulkies not al- lowed. Inaddition to the farmers’ i races there will be a pony race on Thursday and Saturday, open to ponies owned in Beltrami county, not over 14 hands high. This race will be for the best two out of three heats for the following purses; first, $10; second, $5; third, $2.50. These races should be exciting in the extreme, and they are gotten up as an entertainment for those in attendance at the fair. The associa- tion has given up the idea of hold- ing any big race meet and does not expect any fast horses in the field. claim and Oscar Johnson and Har- vey A. Wilson were witnesses. Hans Neilson of Nebish appeared before Clerk of Court Rhoda this afternoon and made commutation proof on his claim, paying $1.25 per acre after living on it for fourteen months. John Moberg Here. John Moberg has returned to the city from Lakota, N.D., where he has spent the past summer looking after his farming interests. ~Mr. Moberg has 700 acres, four miles southeast of Lakota, 350 acres of which was under cultivation this year. He rea- lized but 6,000 bushels of vatson the 350 acres, which is a very small yield. Mr. Moberg will remain here for ten days when he will go back to Lakota for the purpose of bringing his horses to Bemidji again. Electrical Demonstration Tonight. A public demonstration of the new primary electric battery will be given in the vacant building ad- joining George McTaggart’s saloon, this evening; and all who desire to see the new invention that promises to revolutionize the electrical world should see this demonstration. F. J. DUNWOODY MAKES VOTE-GETTING CAMPAIGN His Visits Among the Voters of the County Are Being Well .Received. The announcement of the can- didacy of F.J. Dunwoody for the republican nomination for the office of judge of probate is being very favorably received in every part of the county. When serving as county superin- dent of schools, Mr. Dunwoody was a courteous and obliging official, being ready to do a favor or to give advice or information to any- one requesting it, whether it was within the sphere of his official duties or otherwise. Mr. Dunwoody’s friends are tak- ing an active interest in promot- ing his candidacy, because of his integri(y: and it is safe to predict his nomination by a very flattering majority, at the primaries next Tuesday.
