Chicago, Oct. 12.—(Special to Pioneer.)—The third game in the series for the baseball championship of the world was played here today and resulted as follows: Chicago ................... Detroit .. .. Batteries: Detroit, 0’Day. Chieago, Oct. 12.—(Special R M B wanstund e s e o S J25 8 Clucago AI’heister. Ruelbach and Kling; Mullen and Thomas.

BODY OF JOHN WASHBURN BURIED IN GREENWOOD FuneralServices, Held Yésterday, Were ; Largely Attenned.—Deceased Promi- | nent Resident of Bemidiji The funeral services of John| Washburn, who died last Friday,| were held at 2:30 o’clock yesterday afternoon in thePresbyterian church, Reverend White officiating and the Samaritan Lodge and ‘the firemen attending in a body. The audience was unusually large, the church be-| ing crowded and many people stand-| ing on the steps outside. | Special music was rendered.| Misses Hanson and Haldeman sang two duets, “Nearer My God to| Thee” and “Some Day We’ll Under- stand,” and the audience sang a few hymns. Rev. White took as his subject, the raising of Lazarus, and spoke feelingly of the difficulty of human- ity understanding the ways and workings of God, since our experi- ences are sometimes so different from that which we would have chosen for ourselvas. Mr. White said in conclusion: “One often feels that these experi: | ences must in some way be other| than for the best. We are looking | through finite eyes here but, stand- ing on the other side and looking back from the brink of eternity,| we realize that Paul spoke truly when he said, ‘All things work| together for good to them who love| God.’ | There is a realm where the rainbow never sets. It cannot be that our life is a bubble thrown upon the sea of eternity for a momentary exist- ence and then sunk into oblivion. Thus, why is it that the glorious aspirations, which spring like angels from the temple of the heart, are forever wandering unsatisfied? And why is it that bright human forms are given to us, then taken away, leaving a thousand streams of affec- tion to fall back on our hearts like mountain torrents? Thereisa realm where the stars shall be spread out before us like islands resting on the bosom of the ocean. There is a land of pure delight where those who have passed from us like shadows shall be forever in our presence. Our walk in life is a walk by faith and not by sight.” The funeral procession then moved to Greenwood, Bemidji’s “City of the Dead,” where the last that was mortal of John Washburn was laid to rest beside his little son, Earl, who died six weeks ago of summer complaint at the age of eighteen months. John Washburn was born at Cleve- land, Ohio, November 5, 1873, being almost thirty-five years old at the time of his demise. He moved to Bemidji thirteen years ago when this city was composed of only a few houses, and the railroad had not reached this place. Mr. Washburn was engaged in the building and contracting busi- ness. He was a memder of the Be- midji Lodge of Samaratians and of the local fire department, serving two years as secretary of the latter. Mr. Washbtrn was also a member elected from the - Third _ward; and his death is lamented by a large nnmber of residents of this city. Met Old-Timers at Kalispell. - J. A. McDonald has returned from Kalispell, Mont., where he went some time ago to look over the situ- ation relative to lumbering in that state. He states the conditions as he saw them were far from being desirable to anyone looking for a change of location. According to Mr. McDonald, there were some two thousand men lying around, who were out of work and could not secure employment. The best wages offered to men who work in the woods was $35 per month, and as there was no buying of timber or cruising to speak of there would be no demand for any kind of help in the lumbering opera- tions. Mr McDonald states that he saw several old-time residents of - Be- midji, who are acting as cruisers out in the Kalispell country. Among them was Micheal Kelly, who is now head timber buyer for the Crookston Lumber company; George Millette, who was for several years with the Niels Lunber company of Cass Lake, but now representing that company rat Kalispell; George McCrea, who used to be with Backus & Brooks company, is now in the employ of the N. W. Lumber company at Kalispell. “That country is simply not in it with Bemidji,” said Mr. McDonald. | “This country is far ahead of | Montana, from every point of view.” ! School Tablets. The Pioneer has prepared a special school tablet of the uniform size, 6x9, which we will retail at 5 cents per tablet. This tablet has been prepared especially for the Bemidji public schools, and with cloth back, which makes the tablet very durable. These should be purchased by all pupils. Manufacturing Increases. New York, Oct. 10.—Dispatches tc j Dun’s Trade Review indicate some ir- regularity in retail trade because of unsettled weather, but manufacturing plants are increasing active capacity | and there is confidence i1 an early re- turn of normal conditions. 1 ‘Town Completely Destroyed.

TELEPHONE TALKS Believing that exact knowledge promotes co-operation the North- western Telephone Company is publishing a series of brief ex- positions of some phases of telephony for the benefit of itself, and as it hopes, for the benefit of its The new town | of Taft, on the island of Samar, is | Subscribers and Patrons. UNSUSPEGTED GAUSES OF “TROUBLE” Apart from the inevitable ‘‘trouble’’ | 1n the intricate and sensitive equip- ment of central offices and in the ex- tensive system of outside lines, over- head and underground, the telephone service occasionally suffers from dis- turbance of the circuits or instruments on the subscribers’ premises. This kind of ‘‘trouble’’ is difficult to locate, and so is especially annoying; but al- most always it is perfectly avoidable, being caused by unconscious careless- ness. . In one case when a subscriber re- ported that he was unable to talk through his telephone at all it was found that soms member of the family had laid a pair of spectacles on top of the bell box of the instrument so that the steel bows touched against the| binding posts to which the outside wires are fastened, thus ‘‘cutting out’’ both transmitter and receiver by clos- ing the circuit before it reached them Another subscriber declared that people who called him and had been told ‘*They don’t answer,’”’ when he knew positively that the bell had not rung at all. His difficulty turned out to be due not to any failure of “Central’’ to perform her work properly, but the fact that his wife| had muffled the telephone bells while the baby took his nap and had for- gotten to remove the muffler. Inside telephone wiring is insvlted with the greatest care to protect it against dampness and to keep the wires separated from each other. It cannot be made proof against every- thing, though. Every now and then a subscriber’s ‘‘station’’ fails to work properly because someone stands a dripping umbrella where it saturates { and then. the telephone cord and spoils the insulation, or a careless office boy does similar damage in polishing a desk set with liquid instea.tf of with chamois leather. Leaky plumbing raises havoc with interior circuits every now Here and thereis anervous person who has a habit of jabbing wit a pen the green silk cord of. his desk set while he is telephoning with the result, of course, that he eventu- ally spoils the insulation, which brings the wires of the circuit into contact and puts them out of commis- sion. And many subscribers ‘‘fidget’’ with the green cord when talking, twisting and bending it between their fingers till one of these days the cop- per strands inside break completely off. Considerable ‘‘unsatisfactory ser- vice” is caused by subscribers attach ing to the telephane instrument devices of one sort or another that interferfere with its proper working. Nothing should be fastened to the transmitter by screwing the mouthpiece through it, for instance: that disarranges the adjustmsnt. For obvious .reasons nothing should be stretched over the opening of the mouthpiece; that pu‘s an obstacle between the voice and the diaphragm. The mouthpiece can be kept perfeetly clean by wiping it out witla a dry cloth. no liguid should be used. Carpenters, paper hangers, paint- ers, plumbers and other workmen who, with the best intentions in the world, move the wires temporarily that they may better do their work, frequently either break the circuit in doing so, or injure it in their attempts to replace things as they found them. When it is nezcessary to disturb telephone wir- ‘ing for any purpose, the company should-be asked to,send its own expert men; and it will save the subscriber loss of time and interruption of ser- vice if he will notify hic manager at once of any kind of “‘trouble,”’ so that it may be traced and remedied as quickly as possible.

C. W. Scrutchin, Bemidji’s colored attorney, has gone to Grand Forks, N. D., where he was called to con- sult with John Henry, a colored man who has been held to the grand jury of Grand Forks county on the charge of murder in the first degree. On October 2nd, Henry fired several shots into the body of his housekeeper, Mrs Ellen Fulton, also colored, while the two were alone in Henry’s home, at Grand Forks, N. D. The woman was instantly killed Henry was subseqnently arrested and given a preliminery hearing. to await the action of the grand jury at the next term of court. It is alleged that Henry was jealous of the attentions being paid his housekeeper by a colored man called Bright Eyes, and after being arrested he said something about his home being turned into a dis- orderly house. It is more than likely that Mr. Scrutchin will be retained as Mr. Henry’s attorney. « Henry lived in Bemidji several years ago and was always considered as being of a peacable disposition.

FEW GIVE OVER $1,000 Fourteen Contributors Donated That Amount and Eighteen Gave $500 Each—Major Part Made Up of Dol- lar Contributions and From the Democratic Papers. Who Are En- gaged in Collecting Funds. New York, Oct. 1f.—The Democratic national committee is prepaving to an- nounce the amount of its campaign fund and the individual contributors of amounis of $100 and over and the lists, which have been compiled to date and sent here from Chicago, show that the campaign fund is a little over $220,000. Of this fund something over $180,000 has been collected from contributors, which, with $42,000 of the Denver convention fund, is the total fund now in the Democratic treasury. It is learned that there have been fourteen individual contributors of $1,000 each ard eighteen contributors of $500 each. There have been no contributions of sums hetween $1,000 and $500 to date. The Denver head- quarters of the national committee has collected §5,000, which is <aid to in- clude a check of $1,000 from former Senator William A. Clark of Montana.

SANER COUNSELS PREVAIL More Gonservative Element, Who Be- lieve Hostilitles With Austria-Hun- gary Would Mean National Suicide, Appear to Be in the Ascendancy. Great Britain Sends Formidable Fleet to Turkish Waters, London, Oct. 1 .—Servia, the imme- diate danger point in the Balkan sit- uation, is calming down and in this direction the war cloud is not so threatening as it was. The powers, notably France and Great Britain, have warned the Servian king to con- trol his people and saner counsels prevail in Belgrade, where it is be- ginning to be recognized that war with Austria-Hungary would mean national suiolde. Austria-Hungary shows no serious apprehension over the Servian ebullation. Great Britain has dispatched a fleet- to the Turkish island of Lemnos, pre- sumably at the request of Turkey. The presence of these vessels in the Aegean sea will exert a calming in- fluence. Turkey has protested to the powers against the annexation of Bosnia and Herzegovina by Austria-Hungary and the Turkish imperial commissioner at Sofia has been instructed to continue the discharge of his dutles, as neither the porte nor the powers have recog- rized the independence of Bulgaria. This may lead to some overt act against the imperial commissioner. M. Iswolsky, the Russian minister of foreign affairs, has arrived in Lof- don to continue his efforts for.the calling of the international conference. France is convinced that if an accept- able programme can be decided upan that an outbreak may be averted by diplomacy. DEPENDS ON GREAT BRITAIN Fate of International Conference on Balkan Crisis. i Paris, Oct. 1).—The fate of the in- ternational conference as a solution of the- Balkan crisis depends upon the | answer given by Great Britain to M. | Iswolsky, the Russian minister of for- eign affairs, who is proceeding to Lon- | don. France is confident that if a pro- | gramme can be arranged a diplomatic way can be found by which Austria- Hungary will participate and that after this no difficulty need be expected. Germany and Italy are now believed to be in direct negotiations with Con- stantinople and Vienna. The recogni- tion of the annexation of Bosnia and Herzegovina would remove Austria- Hungary’s only objection to being rep- | resented at the conference. France, while sympathizing with Russia’s de- sire to open the Dardanelles to her warships, supports the English view that the conference should be limited | to the regulations of the existing sit- uation by obtaining compensation for | Turkey instead of at her expense. These compensations are to be large- ly moral and are to take the shape of e withdrawal of capitulations, the suppression of restrictions in Mace- donfa and possibly a money compen- sation from Bulgaria for Hastern Row melia. LESS WARLIKE IN SERVIA 8aner Element of Population Obtains Ascendaney. Belgrade, Oct. 1)—The war fever gmong thé pedple of Servia is dis- Hnotly on the decline. The saner ele- ment of the population gradually are obtaining an ascendamcy ovet the more exeited politicians and patriots, who, during the past few days, have demanded persistemtly the immediate advance of the Servian army. Many of the firebrands are beginning to com- prehend that an attempt to measure dwords with Austria-Hungary would be eguivalent to national suicide and the opinion is slowly gaining ground that @ervian interests probably would be best served by depending on the Jolnt action of the powers. The local newspapers are much less inflammable and altogether it would appear that the warnings sent King Petor by France and Great Britain are proving effective. In spite of the goberal improvement, however, the é&listing of volunteers is still going on. AUSTRIA WARNS SERVIA. Vienna Press Says Nonsense Will Not Be Tolerated. Vienna, Oct. 1).—Official advices re- celved here declare that the situation at Belgrade, Servia, is improving. The general excitement among the Ser vians is calming down. In Vienna the fears of a war with Servia are notice 2bly less. The morning papers, how- ever, warn Servia not to play with fire, as Ausiro-Hungary will not stand - | any nonsense. In spite of the official statement that the dispatch of river gunboats from Budapest in the direction of Belgrade “.|1s only a maneuver this action is be- leved here to be a measure of pre- caution similar to the guarding of the bridges near the frontier by regiments of infantry.
