BUSINESS MEN OGRANIZE ~ FOR MUTUAL PROTEGTION Retail Dealers of Bemidji and Beltrami County Want Protection from Ques- tionable Creditors. The retail business men of Be- midji and Beltrami County have| organized a Credit Association, in| which every branch of the retail business is represented. The object is to avoid extending | credit to the unworthy customer who has in the past made a practice of | running bills promiscuously ~ and| apparently without any intention of paying when he agreed to pay, and also tab all parties who owe bills that are due and instead of paying the bills out of their first cash re- ceipts which justly belongs to their creditors, use this same cash to send away to cash-in-advance mail order houses. The organization of the retail business men of Beltrami county is a timely move. The business men owe it to the paying customer and to the community that they protect | themselves from parties who have made it a practice to ignore their creditors’ requests for settlement. The success of this organization means that our business men will be able to donate more freely to our churches and public institutions; there will be fewer failures, a better financial rating to themselves, which is a credit to our city, and increases the value of real estate, and also enables the business men to extend credit more liberally to the honest customer. —W.

Cass Lake, April 14.—(Special to the Pioneer.)— Preparation for the annual tournament of the Northern Mianesota Firemen’s Tournament association, which will be held here the latter part of June, are under way and from all appearances this tournament will be one of the most elaborate and important yet held. Several new races will be run and other features not yet introduced on such occasions will take place at that ! time. There isa strong indication that the state encampment of the G. A. R. will be held here during the tournament dates, and if such a thing materializes, there will be much “doing.” Local members of the G. A. R. have been in communi- | cation with the state officers, and the latter have signified their desire to make Cass Lake the point for holding the next encampment. Local enthusiastics have taken the matter up and there is little doubt| but that the encampment will be held here the same time as the | tournament. Several new towns will be repre- sented in the tournament this year, and it is believed it will be the largest representation in the history of the assoctation. The teams that have thus far signified their inten- tion to attend are: Grand Rapids, Park Rapids, Walker, Akeley, Deer River and Coleraine. > \RETURN ENGAGEMENT OF FAVORITES IS POPULAR “‘Sisters Batchelor” Repeat Former Recalls at Brinkman.—“Taft in Panama” Film; Big Hit. The Brlokman Family Theater was crowded to its utmost capacity last night with enthusiastic patrons of that popular place of amusement, bent upon hearing those famous musicial artists, the “Sisters Batche- lor,” and witnessing the exciting stunts put on by Drako and his educated trick dogs, and none were disappointed in the least, bat all ex- pressed their hearty approval of the excellent program. Another important number of this splendid program worthy of special mention is a film feature, “Hon. W. H. Taft in Panama,” which is interesting in the extreme, as well as very instructive, and those who have not attended so far this week should not miss it tonight as there will be a change to-morrow night, Commercial Club Meet- ing Tonight. Notice is hereby given that a regular meeting of the Bemidiji Commercial Club will be held at the council chambers this evening, at 8:30 sharp. A full attendance is desired; business of importance.

Kellogg, who died on Sunday, was laid to rest in Greenwood cemetary yesterday after- noon, after approprite funeral ser- vices had been held at the late home of the decesaed.

Deniston spoke briefly of the many good traits possessed by | the deceased and his exemplary life and addressed words of comfort to| the aged wife and the daughter and other relatives, after which the cor-| tege moved to Greenwood, where the interment was made. As we stood beside his grave on yesterday, when the sky was [trimmed with her gorgeous rosy hue, in fancy we could see him—not in death’s cold shroud of. sorrow and despair, but smiling upon us from the sunset halo that marks God’: farwell to the day—smiling with all the well-remembered strength of his manhood, love and devotion, and saying to us: the glories of “Another day. Allis well.” In District Court. S. T. Bell, supervisor, of the Town of Lake Hattie in Hubbard county, appeared yesterday after- noon before Judge C. W.

A. Jackson | Motorboat Meeting Friday Night. All those who are interested in using motorboats- in this _vicinity are requested to meet Friday in the lobby of the Hotel Markham for the purpose of forming a motorboat club.

In all probability a clubhouse will be erected on the other side of the lake and contests and races will be promoted by the followers of the gasoline launch.

Pendergast Ten- dered Reception on Their 41st Wedding Anniversary. The St. Paul - Pioneer Press of Sunday last contained the following account of the reception which was tendered at the old state capi- tol in St. Paul, Saturday night, to Mr. and Mrs, L. G. Pendergast, on the occasion of their forty-first wedding anniversary: *“Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd Pendergast were tendered a reception last evening by their many friends and comrades in honor of the forty-first anniversary of their marriage. The S L. G. PENDERGAST. re‘ception was held in the hall of the house of representatives in the old capitol, and was attended by a number of veterans of the Civil war and territorial pioneers, with their wives. “George Hazzard, secretary of the Territorial Pioneers, called the meeting to order, and was followed by Rev. George E. Satterlee, who uttered a prayer and benediction. A feature of the evening was the singing of a group of Irish and Scotch songs by Mrs. M. J. Magen- iss of Minneapolis. Mrs. Mageniss is the widow of John Maginess, a surgeon in the United States army, and is seventy-two years old. Her singing was delightful and remark- able for one of her years. “Mrs. Chapron in behalf of the Ellsworth circle presented the guests of honor with a chest of silver. Flowers with the compliment of the Acker Post were also presented. “Wilson H. Morrow was at the piano, while Mr. and Mrs. - Pender- gast where receiving. “Col. J. H. Davidson made some very interesting and entertaining re- marks about the old war days and spoke with high esteem of the rec- ord Mr. Pendergast has made in the army. “A. B. Allen of Bemidji then spoke briefly. W. H. Harries, secre- tary of the soldier’s home board, followed with well chosen con- gratulatory remarks. The reception was a very happy reunion of the veterans, and one that will doubt- less be long remembered by .them.” The many Bemidji friends of Mr. and Mrs. Pendergast join with the Pioneer in wishing them many more yeaté of happy wedded life. ‘WHY GIRLS LEAVE HOME' WILL BE PLAYED HERE Will Be Presented by Carpenter's Company, Which Is Said to Be Strong One. The offering at the City Opera House, Thursday night, April 15th, will be “Why Girls Leave Home,” which is said to be a strong play with many stirring incidents, but which does not depend on gun-play or the customary blood and thunder.

You cannot discredit these ies of a not too reputable young man and accompanies him to public places, much against the wishes of her family. The brother, following the wishes of the dead father, is the head of the household, and naturally over solicit- ous for the wellfare of its every member, and he particularly resents his sister’s imprudent actions; so much so that in a display of temper by her when she takes exception to his brotherly advice and entreaties he impulsively deals her a blow that places the almost lifeless body at his feet. During his subsequent aberrration there appears a woman who is seek- ing the downfall of both, the one in jealousy, and the other in revenge; she administers an opiate to prolong the sister’s insensibility; then with the assistance of an unprincipled scoundrel, she takes her to a room in a roadhouse in the country ard keeps her a prisoner. She finally escapes from her cap tors after one of the most novel and exciting, yet consistent, scenes ever presented on the stage;and after a perilous trip across the country, arrives at the prison just in time to avert a tragedy that is about to take place. The story is a wholesome and in- teresting one, and is treated with great reverence and delicacy by the author, Fred Summerfield. Mr. E. J. Carpenter has beautifully mounted the play scenically, the cafe scene and prison set being particularly effective, while they have also shown great regard for their audience by giving the play one of the best act- ing companies to be seen at popular prices.
