The grand jury then reported four indictments and also that their work was done.

The money collected this evening will be used for the benefit of the high school football team in pro- LARGE PREMIUM A FARMER’S Fred M. Malzahn, Pres.

Sylvester Dead. | Farley, Sept. 19—(Special to Pio- neer)—C. C. Sylvester, father of [ Mrs. I. G. Haycraft of this village, | died last night after suffering fora | month with cancer of the stomach.

Mr. Sylvester seemed to improve in health but took a rapid turn for the worse and died last night. J. P. Lahr, a funeral director of Bemidji, came in this morning and embalmed the body which will be shipped Monday morning to Mr. Sylvester’s old home in Medelia. Services will be held at Medelia.

Fire Wardens Do Good-Work. The action of the city council and the mayor in putting two fire war- dens on duty at night to guard pro- perty, has been proven a wise move. V. L Preble, one of the wardens, reports that no later than last night he extinguished three small fires which were burning in back yards in different places in the city, and in making a report of his actions he says that he believes that the flames would have spread and done some damage had he not promptly extin- guished them. Bemidji property is being well guarded during this hot, dry weather. Bishop Morrison Coming. Definite information has been received that the Right Rev. J. D. Morrison, D.

Brooks, 89 Tenth St. So., Minneapolis. The Margin of Profit. “There was a general storekeeper,” the wall by hard times and resolved to make an assignment. He figured out that he would be able to pay 40 cents on the dollar. Well, a certain whole- saler that he had dealt pretty heavily with heard of his plight and came post- haste to see him. “‘What! the wholesaler shouted. ‘Going to make an assignment! Pay only 40 cents on the dollar! A pretty state of things this is!” “‘Calm yourself, Mr. Wholesaler,” sald the general storekeeper. ‘It is true I am going to assign. These hard times have played the very deuce with me. And it's true I'm going to pay only 40 cents on the dollar. But all your goods, it happens, are intact. Not a case has been opened, and they shall be returned to you at once.’ ‘““What! shouted the wholesaler, an- grier than ever. ‘Return my goods! Not on your life! I insist on my law- ful 40 per cent, the same as the other creditors.’ ”—Washington Star. Court.and Witness Agree. An amusing incident occurred in one of the New York courts the other day. The lawyer for the defense was mak- ing a very lengthy cross examination of an old lady when he was interrupt- ed by the judge with the remark, “I think you have exhausted this wit- ness.” " “Yes, judge,” she exclalmed, "I do feel very much exhausted.” 'DIARRHOEA There is no neced of anyone suffering long with this disease, for to effect a quick cure it is only necessary to take a few doses. of Chamberlain’s Golic, Cholera - and Diarrhoea: Remedy In .fact, in most cases one dose is sufficient.

Inquire Was Entitled to Trouble. Lord Palmerston and Sir J. Paget, who told the story, were walking down Bond street. A man came up and saluted the statesman. “How do you do, Lord Palmerston?" “Ah, how do? Glad to see you. How's the old complaint?” The stranger’s face clouded over, and | he shook his head. “No better.” “Dear me! So sorry! Glad to have met you. Goodby.” “Who's your friend?” asked Sir James when the stranger had gone. “No idea.” “Why, you asked him about his old complaint.” “Pooh, pooh!” replied the other un- concernedly. “The old fellow’s well over sixty; bound to. have something | the matter with him.”—London Globe. The Archbishop Won. Dr. Whately, some time archbishop ! of Dublin, once had an encounter with 2 young aid-de-camp, and the primate emerged victor. At dinner the soldier asked this singular question, “Does your grace know the difference be- tween an archbishop and an ass?’ “Bir, I do not,” answered Dr. Whately. “One wears the cross on his miter and the other wears it on his back!” ex- plained the tactless officer. “Do yon know the difference between an aid- de-camp and an ass?”’ asked the arch- bishop calmly in return. “No, your grace, I do not,” was the reply. “Nei- ther do I!” sald his grace.—Liverpool Mercury. Greeley’s Writing. During the early part of the nine teenth century the bad writing of great men became almost a byword. In fact, poor writing was considered by some | people as almost a sign of genius. Horace Greeley was such a poor writ- er that his correspondents were some- times obliged to guess at his meaning, It 1s related that a reporter on the New York Tribune who received a letter from Greeley discharging him present- ed it as a letter of recommendation to MISCELLANEOUS.
