Erickson and F. S. Lycan appeared before the council and stated the financial condition of the commer-| cial club, regarding the normal school fund, and asked that the city appropriate money to help defray expenses of those who maintained| the lobby during the session. A resolution introduced by Alderman | Thomas Smart granted the treasureri of the club $300 for this purpose. | The firemen asked for the use of the opera house for the coming year, authorized to be advertised for, to be opened next Monday night. Gaptain Otto of the militia com- pany stated that the company should have suitable quarters and suggested that the council negotiate with the proprietors of the rink, Captain Otto said that the company would do everything in its power to be economical of fuel and that' the rent received from them from outsiders would be used towards the defray- ing of running expenses. The Te- quest was referred to the building committee, they to report at next Monday evening. The report of the municipal court for the week ending April 3, showing fines of $115 paid the city treasurer, was accepted and filed. B H. A.

Card of Thanks. | There are hours that come into the lives of some, when every im- pulse of the heart is buried under its weight of sorrow. We stand there today; yet we would fain give ex- pression to the gratitude that wells up from the depths of our hearts, as we remember the many kind- nesses of those who have done so much to comfort our pretious dead and to brighten for us a starless sky.

Cass Lake, April 6.—(Special to Pioneer.)—At a regular meeting of the Cass Lake fire department held last evening, C. E. Leeman, tendered his resignation, as head of the local fire laddies. The resignation was accepted, and Pat Cain was elected Mr. Leeman’s successor. Mr. Leeman has held the position of chief of the Cass Lake fire depart- ment during the past eight years, and has always been a tower of strength to the organization. He was elected when the present fire department was first' reorganized and has been re-elected as chief each succeeding year. Some five years ago Mr. Leeman and another mem- ber of the department who has since moved from Cass Lake, succeeded in having the Cass Lake village council pass an ordinance which dealt very liberally with the firemen in the matter of payment for attend- ance at fires, and mainly through this ordinance (together with dances and other means of raising money) the Cass Lake fire department has always been 1n a flourishing condi- tion financially. Mr. Leeman was a fireman of the GILL BROTHERS Bemidji Is a “coming out” day for men as well as for women--- April 11th it calls for your best attire.

B (ular among old school; who fought the flames with skill, and it was owing in a large measure to his supervision that the Cass Lake department has the reputation of being second to none in northern Minnesota as a fire-fight- ing organization. - Mr. Leeman twice served as presi- dent of’ the Northern Minnesota Firemen’s Tournament association, whén tournaments were held in Cass Lake, both of which were always spoken of as having been the very best in the history of the association. The retiring chief bears an enviable reputation among the firemen who belong to the N. M. F. T. A. as a fine fireman and a true friend. The resignation of Mr. Leeman is sincerly regretted by the older mem- bers of the local fire department. Pat Cain, the new chief, is a fine fireman who gained his experience by hard work at fires. He is popu- lar and deserves his office. The members of the department presented Mr. Leeman with a hand- some gold medal as a token of their esteem and appreciation of services rendered. Is Fine Engrossing Clerk. T. J. Miller of this city, who is engrossing clerk in the house of rep- resentatives at the present session of the legislature, has given. some interesting information regarding the work that has been done by his corps of helpers. Mr. Miller stated last Friday that, up to that date the five stenog- raphers in the office of the engrossing clerk had worked sixty-one days; that they had prepared in legislative work for the house of representa- tives 30,500 sheets, or 9,150,000 words, in typewritten manuscript. And to this all of the private work 5 | that has been sandwiched in, and the five operators have gotten out i something over 12,000,000 words so B far this session. The five stenographers who are working under the direction of Mr. Miller are Misses Bertha Butler, Olive Empey, Hulda Lien, Gertrude | Mallory and Katherine Robinson. It is said by all at the state capi- tol that Mr, Miller is proving to be the very best engrossing clerk that has ever filled the position in recent years.

Vesterday was the sixth anniver- sary of little Miss Dorothy Harris, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. O. Harris, and in commemoration of that important event in the life of Miss Dorothy, Mrs. Harris and Dorothy’s sister, Florence, gave a party, at the Harris home. Twenty- four girl companions of the Misses Hauris gathered at the Harris home and the afternoon was very pleas- antly spent by the little folks, who were very ably entertained by their young hostesses, being chaperoned by Mrs. Harris, assisted by Mrs. M. F. Willson and the latter’s sister, Miss Magnuson of Duluth. A delicious supper was served to the young ladies present, and there was much enthusiastic talk of ap- proval from the visitors when they left for their homes, in the early evening, the young entertainers and their mother and her friends being hugged by all and thanked for such enjoyable hospitality. “WALTAH" WHITEHEAD IN TOWN FROM DULUTH cfilored Pugilistic Champion Is in Fine Condition.—Will Fight Shreck and Guenther. Walter Whitehead, the colored pugilist of Duluth who is the cham- pionship heavyweight of the north- west, has been a visitor in Bemidji yesterday and today, traveling with a show that came here from the “Zenith City.” Whitehead has been mixing with local sports and telling of his plans for the future. He is now under the management of “Sandy” McDonald, formerly sporting editor of the Du- luth News-Tribune, but the colored FORRESTER & LLOYD. CUFF LINKS Ladies and Gents GED. T. BAKER & CO. Manufacturing Jewelers Located in City Drug Store Near the Lake man is alone on his trip. According to Whitehead, he will fight Mike Shreck on the 13th inst., and he is very confident of the out- come of the meeting, being sure that he can put away the big German inside the limit of the bout. In fact, confidence appears to be one of Whitehead’s principal assets. Possessed of a very long reach and being quick on his feet, no one who has gone against Whitehead of late has been able to stand up for any length of time against him. White- head has been training faithfully for several months, and being abstem- ious and taking good care of him- self the Duluth mitartist is in grand condition. He looks good; is splen- didly built, and will be hard man for any fighter to give the count. Many local people would like to see Whitehead go against George Guenther, the colored Australian who recently whipped Ben Tremble. Whitehead states that he is matched to fight Guenther, one week after his match with Shreck is decided, and that the two colored scrappers will contest for a purse that will aggregate more than $1,000 a side.
