The meeting of the council last evening was quiet with the excep-| tion of two measures. The usual number of bills were allowed and also those of the judges and clerks, who were on duty during primary election, and Bosworth Brothers’ bill of $645.73 for com- pleting the sewer contracts. The report of the municipal court for the week ending September 21, 1908, showing a total of $43.80 as paid in the treasury, was accepted. A motion to install several incan-! descent lights on different street crossings was passed. Ona motion to transfer H. A. Miles’ liquor license to George & Gearlds, the following voted aye: McCuaig, Smart, Miller, E. J. Gould, Rhea, and W. A. Gould. Absent— Johnson, Washburn and Brinkman. George & Gearlds, bond with K. Mclver and W. W. Brown as sure- ties was accepted. The council then decided to re- ject and return (unopened) the bids for the $50,000 water bonds on the advice of City Attorney|in their usual hall Gibbons, who stated that he did not believe the bids to have been properly advertised. On motion of Alderman Smart, seconded by Alderman E. J. Gould, it was decided that new sealed bids for the $50,000 water bonds be pump into the new wells and connect them with the small pump in order to keep the tank full in the case of fires, ‘The council then adjourned. Authorities Are Busy. The city authorities have been compelled to get busy of late, owing to the number of drunks and loiter- ers on the streets. Yesterday Oscar Moore was ar- raigned before Judge Bailey in the municipal court on a charge of drunkenness. Moore pleaded guilty and paid afine of $10 and costs. -Alex Gulla was locked up Satur- day evening for being drunk but sobered up later in the night.. He then deposited $9.75 as bail and was releasd until Monday morning when he failed to appear, and so forfeited the cash. Chauncey Brockway (poor “Chauncey”) pleaded guilty to a charge of disorderly conduct and was fined $10 and cost. He was then allowed to go on his own recognizance to secure the money to pay the fine, Gillent Bordeaux, drunk, was fined $5 and costs or ten days and gave | security to pay the fine, after which he was released. The case of the State vs. Lee, charged with setting fire to Pogue’s barn abouttwo weeks ago, was then continued until October 1st. Ruth Ingalis(colored)was found guilty of being drunk and disorderly and was fined $5 and costs, which she paid. Knights of Pythias’ Meeting. There will be a regular meeting tonight of the Knights of Pythias All members are requested to be present as busi- ness of importance will be transacted. ' District Court. Court convened at 9 o’clock this morning with Judge W. S. McClena- han of Brainerd sitting on the bench! he having arrived in the city last evening in order to relieve Judge Stanton who is occupied with a large number of cases in his cham bers. County Attorney Henry Funkley then took up the criminal calender and brought on the case of the State of Minnesota vs. Justin Stod- dard as the first one on the calen- der. A jury was secured after ex- cusing seven men. Stoddard is charged with assault in thesecond degree. Itis alleged that Stoddard is the man who so craelly beat and attempted to have carnal knowledge of a little girl at Tenstrike last June. Stoddard was nearly lynched at that time by the people living near Tenstrike who were greatly incensed by the crime. The balance of the day was occupied in listening to the testi- mony which is being introduced by the state. J. P. Gibbons of this city is conducting the defence. At 3 o’clock this afternoon court was adjourned until 9 o’clock tomorrow morning in order to allow some of the jurors to go to their homes which were burning a few miles from the city. Yesterday afternoon the case of F. Pierce & Co. vs. Andrew Olson and Clara Olson was submitted to the jury at 3:25. After being out six and one-half hours the jury agreed to disagree and reported to the court. CITY OPERA HOUSE TWO NIGHTS, STARTING FRIDAY, SEPT. 25. Belles of the East Side. Those fun experts, Wood and Ward, with 18 helpers, mostly girls, presenting their Tutti-Frutti musical tom-foolery «“Two Merry Tramps,” the play with singy songs and whistly music. The cleanest, cleverest, brightest, breeziest, jolliest, smartest: sing- iest, wittiest and most whistly of all musical plays. Prices 35¢, 50c and 75¢; chil- dren 25c. Might “Live in the Past.” The Pioneer of Tuesday says: “It has been stated by many that T. J. Miller and family were to give up Bemidji and live in the future in St. Paul.” Certainly, they will live in the future. At least that is the wish of their many friends. But after all, “who knows what the future may hold for us.”—Bemidji Sentinel. The above is one of the “jokes” which the new Sentinel man is springing. Relative to the above bit of sar- casm, we will bet a big, round red apple that they will not “live in the past,” as have a couple of Daily Sentinels, which publications are laid away in the Pioneer’s private burial ground. And it might be that this same fate is “what the future may hold for us”—meaning the present Sentinel. How do you like this “cheap John” editoral depatment, anyway, Brown? Reward! A substantial reward will be given the finder of a large quantity of manuscript known to have been in the possession of Arthur Upson, who was drowned in Lake Bemidji Aug. 14. Address E. D. Brooks, 89 Tenth St. So., Minneapolis. Notice. All collections due C. H. Miles or H. A. Miles have been left with R. H.

There will also be work in the third degree. Secretary’s Office at Fair Ground.

Should Timothy see this article he should apply to Chief Knox. Issued Wolf-Bounty. County Auditor Wilmann issued a wolf-bounty of $7 50 yesterday after- noon to Henry Baumgartner of Lewis. CHOLERA CONTINUES T0 SPREAD RAPIDLY Russians Unable to Check the Present Epidemic. St. Petersburg, Sept. 22.—The chol- era continues to increase rapidly day by day in St. Petersburg. The efforts of the authorities in stopping the sale of liquor between Saturday and Mon- day and the other preventive measures taken have had but little, if any, ef- ect in checking the spread of the epi- demic. In the past twenty-four hours the municipal hospitals reported 380 cases and 155 deaths and the addition of the | statistics from the military and su- burban hospitals for this same period of time swell this total to truly formid- able proportions. There are thirty- four cases of policemen alone in the Seminoffsky military hospitals. Dispatches received here from three provinces report 488 new cases and 201 deaths ir twenty-four hours, Ros- tov-on-the-Don furnishing 182 cases and 80 deaths. The police of St. Petersburg sum- marily closed several restaurants that had violated the order against the sale | of spirits and seized stocks of some unlicensed dealers. MAKE WAR ON CHOLERA. Philippine Commission Summoned m\ Special Session. Manila, Sept. 22.—The civil commis- sion, summoned in special session by Governor General Smith to deal with | the epidemic of cholera, decided to order 200 members of the constabu- lary into the city to assist the health inspectors in their campaign against | the plague. It was decided to dis- courage, as far as possible, gatherings | of the people and to refuse permits for flestas and like celebrations. Ad- ditional physiciaus and nurses have volunteered for service and have gone to the cholera hospital, where equip- | ment has been provided for 100 addi- tional patients. Alfred McVeigh, a gevernment employe, and Josefina Hall, an infant, were the only Ameri- cans reported attacked by the cholera Monday. , C. A. Davis, who was num- bered among the stricken on Sa(urdayl last, is now discovercd not to be suf- fering from the plague. Twenty-five new cases were report- ed in the past eight hours. STOCKS AGAIN DECLINE. Political Situation Not Relished by Wall Street, New York, Sept. 22—The stock mar- kot started in unsettled as a conse- |7 quence of the weakness last week. Selling orders from outside sources caused declines on the first transac- tions of 1 to 214 points in the market leaders. The rally which followed caused a belief that important banking end financial interests are determined to protect prices against further in- roads. The recovery only invited re- rewed selling and acute weakness fol- lowed in the course of the first hour, most of the stocks falling 1% to 2% points. The turn taken by the polit- ical canvass towards increased prom- inence of the anti-corporation issue ‘was not relished by the element active in stock speculation. The stock market hecame demoral- ized late in the day, when prices took a downward plunge again and closed in discrder at Josfes from 3 to 4% points in the Harriman and Hill stocks, St. Paul and Reading. The final break came after-a midday pe- riod ot quiet, during which supporting measures had restored prices practi- cally to last week's level. IMPORTANT PRIMARY RULING Electors Must Vote Same Ticket as Previous Election. i Chicago, Sept. 22.—A ruling which may change the result of the recent Republican primary election for the state’s attorney nomination was made by Judge Cutticg when he declared that a voter who had voted as a Dem- ocrat two years previous to the pri- mary could not legally vote for the nomination of any one on another ticket. At the present primaries John Hea- ly, the present state’s attorney, was | deated by John W. Wayman. A re- count of the votes confirmed this re- Bult, but according to Mr. Healy de- veloped numerous cases of fraudulent yotes, notably in the Ninth and Tenth wards. Democrats, he alleged, were voted in squads for Wayman and he brought suit before Jndge Cutting to arnul the election. The court’s ruling is regarded as of the greatest {mpor- tance and Mr. Healy, it is stated, will continue to wage his fight with re- Ghe PIONEER Delivered to vour door every evening Only 40c¢ per Month WANTS ONE CENT A WORD.
