THE BE VOLUME 6. NUMBER 178. Y PIONEER. BEMIDJI, MINNESOTA, FRIDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 13, 1908. FORTY CENTS PER MONTH WILL HOLD MEETING AT PARK RAPIDS NEXT WEEK The Third Annual Meeting of the North Central Minnesota Teachers’ Association Promises to Be a Very Suc- cessful Gathering of Educators. The third anrual meeting of the North Central Minnesota Teachers association will be held at Park Rapids Friday and Saturday, Novem- ber 20 and 21. The meeting promises to be one of the most suc- cessful in the history of the associa- tion as the .people of Park Rapids will put forth every effort to royally entertain the visiting teachers. It is announced that the conven- tion headquarters will be at the Great Northern Hotel, over which J. J. O’Niel, the prince of north- country hosts, will preside. The officers of the association are as follows: President, Superintendent O. F. Hawkins, Akeley; vice-president, Miss Annie Shelland, superintend- ent Koochiching county; correspond- ing secretary, Principal C. M. King, Deer River. All teachers and school officers in the north central section of the state have been invited and there is every indication that there will be a large attendence at this meeting, which will include several teachers from Bemidji and Beltrami county. As county teachers’ meetings are highly practical in this section of the state and few of the teachers are able to attend the Minnasota Educational meetings in St. Paul, thence there is a growing interest in the work of the North Central Min- nesota Teachers association, which promises to be a beneficial organiza- tion. - Teachers in the Bemidji schools will participate in the association as follows: Miss Grace Greaves will give a paper on “Training in English and Help of Grades;” H. E. Biddinger will discuss ‘‘Commercial Training;” Miss Dora Hanson will sing a vocal solo; Superintendent A. P. Ritchie will read a paper on “Atheletics.” The program is as follows: Friday Morning, Nov. 20. | " “Flying Ma- .Ladies’ Sextette. Address of Welcome—. . . ...Mayor Winship, Hon. L. W. Bills.

Brooks, who |tons of ashes, which accumulates lives a few doors to the nor’,’ nor’- We had been figuring no placing a small fur- east of us, has a furnace. nace in our cellar but we won’t do it, since we have had a talk with Brother Brooks. W. L. says of a furnace: “A furnace is part of the furnishings of the basement of a house. It isa large obese struc- ture, with a frank and readily opened countenance, and an unappeasable appetite for coal, which appetite in- creases as coal increases in price. When coal is about $9 a ton, a fur-! nace will be finicky and pernickety in its appetite, demanding only a few shovelfuls now and then, but when coal roams up into the alti- tudes of financial affairs, the furnace will be as eager for it as a girl is fer hothouse grapes and imported melons in January. “The duty of a furnace is to heat the house wherein it may be. It stands, however, between love and duty. Itloves the coal so much that it neglects its duty at times. When the mercury goes down and sulks at the bottom of the bulb the furnace will grow sad and moody, meditating upon the good old sum- mertime, and will quite forget that there are heat pipes running aim- lessly through the walls. But let a warm wave come along and the fur- nace will grow repentant and say to itself that it will make amends. Immediately all the windows have to be opened and people four blocks away get out their summer apparel. “A furnace will burn one ton of in the corner of the cellar until a colored gentleman comes along and ioi’fers to carry them out for a king’s | ransom. @ “The heathen Hottentot has a hard time, and doubtless deserves aid, but he does not have to struggle with the furnace problem nor en- dure the cold, the coal man.” calculating stare of Koochiching County Court. Deputy Sheriff Andrew Johnson returned this morning from Inter- | national Falls, where he went last night, having in custody Joseph | Jacobson, who had been indicted by the grand jury of Koochiching i county for the term of court held there this week for the crime of {assault in the second degree. Jacobson’s case was continued until the next term of court and as he could not furnish $500 bail he was remanded to the custody of the sheriff and was brought back to the | Beltrami county jail (which is the official “bastile” of Koochiching county), . Mr. Johnson states that the term of court for Koochiching county was adjourned last evening, after the grand jury bad reported that it found no indictment against Arthur Shunn, who had been held in the jail in this city since last spring on the charge of assault in the sec- ond degree. The term of court for Koochiching county was a very brief one, not very many cases being considered. Subscribe for The Pioneer. Current Events—Principal 0. H.

Sermon of Hibbing, who recently leased the rink for the wioter, bids fair to be- come one of the most popular amuse- | ment place in the north half of the state. Since Mr. Sermon has taken hold of the rink he has made some dis- tinct changesin the method of run- ning the rink which have been much for the better. Mr. Sermon has installed his brother, J. C. Sermon, as the active manager of the rink here, and the brother is already becoming popular with Bemidji people. J. C. Sermon came from Bay City, Mich., whete he was manager of a| large roller rink. He has had much experience conducting roller rinks, which will be beneficial in conduct- ing this rink. The new Electric Military Band has arrived and has been installed in the rink and is proving a splen-| did musical feature. The “band” will furnish music at all times for skating. The formal opening of the rink will be held next Monday evening, when the management will give away souvenirs to the ladies and will put forth special efforts to make the occasion an enjoyable one, Hereafter there will be skating at the rink every afternoon from 2:30 to 4:30 and every evening from 7:30 to 10:30. Attended Important Meeting. Archdeacon H. F. Parshall, of the Episcopal church, came over from his home in Cass Lake yesterday on a freight train last evening. Mr. Parshall has just returned from Fargo, N.

HAS PLEAD GUILTY TO THE GHARGE OF MURDER Colored Man, Who Once Lived in Bemidji, Killed Woman at Grand Forks. John Henry, colored man who some weeks ago shot and killed Mrs. Ellen Fulton in a jealous rage, ap- peared in the district court in Grand Forks this afternoon and pleaded guilty to the charge. There was a large crowd present to witness the arraignment of the colored man and when he said he was guilty, the crowd was somewhat disappointed, as they had been looking forward to a trial with.all the customary thrills that generally accompany a murder case. The court took his sentence under advisement, but the prevailing opinion is that he will be sent to the state penitentiary for life. It will be remembered that the murder occured one night after a drunken carousal, Henry being apprehended by the police immediately after the shooting.—Crookston Times. Charles Scrutchin, Bemidji’s colored attorney, was called to Grand Forks by Fulton, some time ago, and {after hearing Fulton’s account of the | meager and the extent of the vic- tradgedy in which the “Forks” colored man had been one of the principals, advised him to plead guilty. The plea will undoubtedly save Fulton’s neck.

The first moose which has been killed up north and sent south since the opening of the big-game season was shipped through Bemidji this morning from Big Falls to Minnea- polis. The moose was killed near Big Falls. It was a splendid speci- men of the “monarch ot the forest.” | The moose, as well as two deer, had been killed by a party of Min- ]neapolis people, consisting of Dr. { Sample, a dentist, H. C. Bruner and and H. H. Austin, real estate dealers of tne “Mill” city. These gentlemen did their hunting in the vicinity of Big Fallsmgoing north of that place on the Big Fork river. All three members of the party were aboard the train this morning, | ireturning home to Minneapolis, and they stated that moose are more { plentiful this fall than for several ! years past, which is due undoubtedly I to the forest fires driving the moose ,to points along the rivers. { Dr. Sample claimed the distinc- | | tion of killing the moose, while Bru- ner and Austin bore their honors of easily of having each killed a deer.

Bemidji’s eleven will play the game of their lives in order to give the visitors a contest. The game will be played at 3:30, as soon as the visitiag players can get from the train to the park.
