FSS— pe—— % N ) COMPANY K FO OTBALLISTS V8. PARK RAPIDS, SUNDAY Local Gridiron Warriors Wil 1 Do Battle With Hubbard County Gladiators.---Not Much Known of Visitors But “‘Rapids” Has Splendid Athletes. The Company K football team will line up for tomorrow’s game as follows: Collins, le; Lucas, 1t; Bow]| ler, Ig; Edd, c; Otto, rg; Markham, rt; Stewart, re; Brannon, lh; Mantor, rh; Hillaby, fb; Carlton, and Peck, subs. ! J. J. Southworth of this city will act asreferee of the game. Mr. Southworth is a fair, impartial official and will no doubt give satis- faction to both elevens. Company K had a gruelling prac- tice last night until some time after dark. The boys are in excellent con- dition for the most part and will no doubt put up a splendid game to- morrow. It is not likely that they will use all of their plays in the game against Park Rapids, as it is more than likely that some gentleman who is interested in the outcome of the Grand Rapids-Bemidji game, a week from tomorrow, will be on hand to “tip off” any information he can get as to the locals. The members of the Park Rapids team will arrive in Bemidji this even-| ing on the Sauk Centre-Bemidji Great Northern passenger train, The Park Rapids boys will prob- ably indulge in light practice tomorrow forenoon, preparatory to the game in the afternoon. It has been impossible to secure the line-up of tte visiting team. ‘The Company K football team of this city will play a game against the Park Rapids city team at the down-town park in this city Sunday afternoon at 3:30 o’clock. While not much is known of the strength of the visiting team, Park Rapids has a number of old-time football players and all-around athe- letes who are good at any branch of sport, and in any game in which that town has representatives, they always make a good showing. Many of the players there have participated in high school “games in the past and have had alot of football experience. In view of the fact that the Com- pany K team will probably play the Grand Rapids team for a big side bet in the near future, much interest is being manifested in the playing of the locals and no doubt a big crowd will turn out Sunday to see the game with Park Rapids.

A very delightful party was given last evening at the home of Miss Arabelle Neal of this city in honor of the Senior Class of the local high school. The guests appeared as ghosts and were draped in ‘white sheets and the house was prettily decorated. - Refreshments were served and the guests report a most entertaining evening. Besides the girls of the Senior Class there were present: Misses Hanson, Greaves and Yancey, Professor Thornton, and Messers. Gould, Donald and Witting. ELABORATE PREPERATIONS FOR ELECTION RETURNS Northwestern Telephone Exchange and Western Union Telegraph Com- pany will Co-operate. Arrangements have been perfected for giving Bemidji the best and most complete election returns obtainable on the evening of next Tuesday, Nover 3rd, on national state and county tickets. Through the generosity of A. E. Harris, local manager of the North- western Telephone Exchange com- pany, and the Pioneer’s arrange- ments with the Western Telegraph company, the people of this city and vicinity will be able to get the very latest returns’at all times. Union Manager Lycan, of the Markham Hotel, has generously placed the lobby of the hotel at the disposal of the public, and all returns will be bulletined there immediately upon their receipt, either by telegram or by telephone. The bulletins will contain news of the returns on the national, state and county tickets, in fact, on all elections in which there is general interest shown by the public. Mr. Harris states that the tele- phone company will transmit elec- tion returns from outside points in the county to Bemidji free of charge, so that any one who has returns can keep Bemidji people posted by using the telephone on the night of elec- tion and unti] Wednesday 'morning, free of charge. b has been very chary of placing He has ran for office twice, at a general election, and in both instances, was decisively defeated. In 1902, B. F. Wright was a candidate for county attorney of Hubbard county. His opponent was L. W, Bills, also of Park Rap- ids. Mr. Wright was many votes “shy” of being elected when the canvassing board made returns on the official count, that fall. Again, in 1904, Mr. Wright, not satisfied with the defeat of the previous campaign, was again candidate for county attorney of Hubbard county. He was opposed by Eugene Wray, a homesteader living in the Lake George country, who had forsaken the practice of “THE VOICE OF THE PEOPLE” TWICE DEFEATED WRIGHT B. F. Wright is sending out letters in which he states that Hon. C. W. Stanton, judge of the Kifteenth Judicial district, was never placed in office “by the will of the people.” Now, the “will of the people,” as expressed by the great white ballot, on election days, Mr. Wright in public office. law for the plow. The gentieman from the country defeated Mr. Wright, right handily. And all this took place in Hubbard county, where Mr. Wright's followers are wont to state that he “gets the biggest vote where he is the best known.” It is very evident that the “voice of the people” has rebuked Mr. Wright, in his office- seeking, on at least two occasions; aud he should be the last man to talk of anyone not having been in office “by the voice of the people.” MINNESOTA LOSES. MINNESOTA 0; CHICAGO 29 Enormous Crowd Witnessed Annual Football Game Between Minnesota .and Chicago University Elevens on Marshall ' Field, Chicago, Today. Minnesota-Chicago Record 1895—Minnesota 10, Chicago 6 1900—Chicago 6, Minnesota 6 1901-2-3-4-5—No game. 1896-7-8—No game. 1899—Chicago 29, Minnesota 0 1906—Minnesota 4, Chicago 2 1907—Chicago 18, Minnesota 12 Coach Williams Confident. Minneapolis, Oct. 31.—(Special to Pioneer.)—On the train at Minne- apolis just prior to departure for Chicago, Dr. Williams, coach of the Minnesota team, said of his squad: 1 want to tell you that every man on the Minnesota team is in perfect physical condition. The team has the best fighting spirit that a Minnesota team ever had. We will give Chicago a battle.” Capron’s Opinion Before Game. Chicago, Oct. 31.—(Special to Pioneer.)—George Capron, the great drop-kicker of last year’s Minnesota eleven, said of the respective teams, prior to the game: “Minnesota must rely on a team not composed of any brilliant stars, but a machine of good, hard workers, pulling together every minute of the time. If Minnesota’s line, which appears stronger than Chicago’s, can break through and spoil Chicago’s passes and also stop Steffen in his dodging end runs, then the gophers will have a good chance of beating the maroons. Chicago’s line will not be able to stand the terrific onslaughts that Minnesota can give it, and Dr. William’s men are sure to score.” Ceach Stagg Predicted Tie. Chicago, Oct. 31.—(Special to Pioneer.)—Just prior to the game today, Alonzo Stagg, coach of the Chicago eleven said: “The forward pass will be our chief asset in the Gophzr game, and if we can make a success of it at critical stages, we have a chance to win from Dr. Wil- liame’ team. It must be worked without a hitch, however, or we can- not hope for a victory. WhileI believe we have an advant- age in the kicking department, Min- nesota has without a doubt the stronger line and I believe the Gopher back field has been under- rated and will probably outclass our backfield. We will not be surprised if Dr. Williams’ foxy backs tear through our line for touchdowns. “I believe that we have ‘a’ chance to tie the gophers, at least.” The Game. Chicago, Oct. 31.—(Special to Pioneer.)—The eyes of the followers of the gridiron in the middle west have been fastened on Chicago to- jday, where the annual championship ¥ i 4 oA AR e game between the University _of Chicago and the Uuiversity of Min- nesota football elevens was being ! played this afternoon. Ever since the two colleges estab- lished atheletic relations there has ! been great rivalry for superiority be- tween the football elevens and all of the games have been productive of stubborn contests. Last year Chicago defeated Min- nesota in a decisive manner, the | score being 18 to 12. George Cap- | ron, the great kicker of the Minne- | sota team, saved his team-mates a shut-out by scoring all the points which Minnesota secured, by means | of drop kicks, the fast Chicago back field using the forward pass with great effect. This year both teams have lost some of their veteran players. Only four of Minnesota’s team {had experience in a big game and one half of these can boast of being in an intercollegiate contest before this season. It therefore remained with comparatively green men to attempt to wrest the cham- pionship from Stagg’s eleven. Chicago had a weaker center trio than the gophers, tackles averaging as well as those from Minneapolis, ends fully as spectacular as the northern eleven could boast, a better field general in Quarter Back Steffen, a star pair of backs and a willing full back, who, however, was sup- posed to not be anywhere near the equal of the gopher giant, Plankers. An enormous crowd was on Mar- shall Field, long 'before the game was called, many hundred of rooters being present from Minnesota and other parts of the northwest. The officials of the game were announced as follows: Referee, Captain King of West Point. Umpire, Edgar Poe of Princeton. Field Judge, Professor Hallison of Purdue. Linesman, Kirkland of Illinois. Chicago started playing lightning fast and kept up the pace, literally bewildering the “Gophers” by the variety of attack and'end runs and forward passes.* The first half ended with the fol- | lowing score: Chicago 11; Minnesota 0. . The termination of the first half was marked by tremendous cheering on the part of the Chicago “‘rooters,” the fast work of the Maroons sur- prising even their most loyal sup- porters. During the intervals between the halves, Dr. Williams, the Gopher coach, gave his players a strong talk to ‘“‘wake up” and stop the ‘Maroon runners who had made such fast plays in the first half. In the second half the Chicago players displayed more speed than ever, their fast work taking the “Gophers” completely by surprise. The Minnesota line held well, but the players seemed powerless to cope with the fast Chicago back field, which outplayed Minnesota at every stage. The Chicago team added 18 points in the second half, while Minnesota was unable to score a single point. The final score of the game was as follows: Chicago 29; Minnesofa 0. Brainerd High—, Bemidji—. Brainerd, Oct 31—(Special to Pio- neer)—The Bemidji High School football team, in charge of Coach Thornton and aocompanied by At- torney F. A. Jackson of Bemidji to act as an official, arrived in this city at 12:40 today on the M. & I passenger train. In an interview with Coach Thornton he announced that his team was seriously crippled through the loss of their 167-pound full-back, Raiph Lycan, who is lying in the St. Anthony’s hospital at Bemidiji sick with typhoid fever. Neverthe- less, Coach Thornton was confident of the ability of his boys to give the local eleven a hard battle. A large crowd gathered on McKay field at 2 o’clock and the Brainerd colors were in evidence everywhere. Contrary to expectations, Bemidji had only five or six “rooters” along with the team. Loud cheers greeted the Brainerd eleven when they trotted out, The visitors persented a smart appear- ance as they came running onto the field, but it was easily to be seen that the home boys -outweighed the up-staters. The Bemidji football term lined up as follows: Kruse (Capt.) re; C. Gould, rt; Homdrom, rg; C. Brenfeman, c; McDonald, lg; Boyer; 1t: D. Gould, ¢; Huffman, gb; Gill, rh; Stanton, 1h; LAST WEEK-END SPECIAL IS ONE TOMORROW NIGHT Train from Twin Cities Has General Demand for Night Train to Twin Cities, Every Night, The week-end special trains, which have been run from St. Paul to International Falls by the Minne- sota & International railway in con- junction with the Northern Pacific railway, will be discontinued after Sunday evening, November 1. These week-end special trains were put on May 30 for the accom- modation of twin city people and others living on the line of the N. P. and M. & I. trom St. Paul to Bemidji and International Falls, so that those who desired could spend Sun- day at the summer resorts ‘‘up north.” Last winter the Bemidji Commer- cial club and other commercial bodies in northern Minnesota began an agitation for a night train to be run on the N. P. and M. & I. from St. Paul to International Falls. So insistent were the promoters of this enterprise that the railway officials finally agreed to puton a train which would leave St. Paul every Saturday evening, arriving in! Bemidji about 3’ o’clock the follow- ing morning and at International Falls at 8. Returning to the twin Proven Popular.—There Is Over M. & I Falls at 7:30 in the evening, reach- ing Bemidji at 11:45 and arriving in St. Paul about 10 o’clock Monday morning. The train proved very popular from the start, and while the rail- | way officials will not say that it was a paying investment, there is every reason to believe that it was run with profit to the companies. That there is a demand for a reg- ular night train to be run every night during the week over the M. & I. and N. P. from Internutional Fall to St. Paul is a fact. It is believed by well informed | persons that such a train would in time prove to be a "money-gener" for the companies. Persons desiring to go to the Twin cities from Bemidji or points north could arrivein St. Paul not later {than 10:30 the next forenoon. This would give the remainder of the day and that night for the transaction of business, and would be a great con- venience to north country peogple. Tomorrow night’s train, which is the last one of the week-end specials, will reach this city from Interna- tional Falls at 11:45, and depart for cities, the train left International St. Paul at 12 o’clock. JUDICIAL CHAMBERS IN BEMIDJI; PROPER PLACE Election of B. F. Wright Would Mean Much Inconvenience to Attorneys and Litigants in Going to Park Rapids to Interview Court. Those residents of the Fifteenth Judicial district who do not live in the immediate vicinity of Park Rapids, should pause before they vote for B. F. Wright for judge of this district, if they desire to consult their own convenience and save need- less expenditure. Should Mr. Wright be elected judge of this district, he himself has said that he would “be in Bemidji as often as he though_t was neces- sary, but would always make his home in Park Rapids.” Anyone who desired to see the judge (were Mr. Wright elected) would, in nine cases out of ten, be compelled to journey to Park Rapids in order to transact their business with the court. Park Rapids is not easily reached from any other portion of the Fif- teenth Judicial district except alonz the Sauk Center-Bemidji branch of the Great Northern railway, there being no other railway service ex- cept the train which leaves Bemidji every morning and returns to this city in the evening, passing through Park Rapids both going and coming, A person living any direction from Bemidji, in order to reach Park Rapids, must stay here over night, | going to the “Rapids” the following morning. This would necessitate a | considerable outlay of money and loss of time. The only other re- course would be to go to Brainerd. before Judge McClenahan, which is further. On the other hand, if Judge Stanton is elected (and there is no | doubt that he will be) the judicial {chambers will be permanently jlocated in this city, which is easy of access to all who do not live near Brainerd, where Judge Mc- Clenahan resides. Judge Stanton has already demonstrated that he is at all times at the disposal of the attorneys and litigants, in | Bemidji, the most centrally-located point 1n this portion of the district. t A vote for Judge Stanton means a vote for the location of the judical chambers at the most accessible point in the north half of the Fif- teenth Judicial district.

Fosston, Oct. 31.—(Special to Pioneer.)—The Fosston and Crooks- ton high school football teams played a game here this afternoon, in the presence of a large crowd of Fosston people, and the rooting was exceed- ingly strenuous. The game was hard-fought, all the way through, and resulted as fol- lows: Crookston High, —. Fosston High, Clerk Becomes Benedict. Chris Heieren, one of the popular clerks in Gill Brothers’ Clothing house, was married Thursday even- ing to Miss Clara Farden of this city, The ceremony was performed by Reverend Kolste, of the Norwegian Lutheran church, at the parsonage. The newly-wedded couple will con- tinue to make their home in this city. Communion Service. Regular quarterly communion ser-1 vice will be observed onSun. morning at 11 o’clock.
