Wntered in the postofice at Bemidji. Minn., second class matter. SUBSCRIPTION---$5.00 PER ANNUM THE WINNIPEG EXPOSITION. The great Winnipeg Industrial Exposition for 1909 will be held July 10-17, according to announce- ments which the Pioneer has just received, in the form of a premium list and other advertising matter. The exposition this year bids fair to eclipse the big successes which the fair has attained heretofore, and the premiums offered are liberal enough to attract exhibitors from all parts of the northern states of Uncle Sam, as well as:Canadian territory. The exposition officials offer the sum of $40,000 for prizes alone in the exhibition of all classes of live- stock, agricultural products, etc., etc., besides a big list of purses for all classes of horse races. In the line of special attractions, the Winnipeg Industrial Exhibition is a strong rival of the Minnesota State Fair, and is always presenting something novel and sensational. A representative of the Pioneer last year had the pleasure of attend- ing the fair at Winnipeg, in com- pany with several other Bemidji people, and we were greatly sur- prised at the grand exhibits of horses, cattle, agricultural products, scientfic and artistic productions, etc., and the sensational acts and horse races were very good. i There is little doubt but that there will be a larger attendance at the Winnipeg Exposition this year, frem Bemidji and adjoining territory, than ever before. THE BLACKDUGK HANDCAR CLUB MEETS MAY 29-30 [Continued from Page 1.] social intercourse, all of which has a tendency to bring the members of the club closer together. The invitations, which have just been issued, are decidedly unique, and are as follows: “Blackduck, May 13. “To the Person Addressed:—Take Notice: According to the established policy of this organization, there will be a meeting of its members, on the 29th-30th of May, 1909, at Blackduck lake, for the purpose of considering ways and means to for- get past troubles, and difficulties, and for the further purpose of painting roseate hues of the uncertain future, “The S.

T. & K. railway and on “‘Streeter & Walker's” lines and,| will be void after the resurrection. The invitations' will be sent to about 200 people. It is the inten- tion of those who attend the fourth annual meeting of the club to reach Blackduck lake over the M. & L railway, on either the early evening train Saturday night, or the morning train, which reaches Blackduck lake from St. Paul shortly after 4 o’clock Sunday morning. The M. & 1. officials have agreed to stop the train at the crossing, where there is a spur, one mile south of town, which ex- tends to the camps of Trondson & Witting, where the meetings are held. New England Furniture & Carpet Go, Minneapolis, Minn. July 283, 1907. L. K. Thompson, Esq., President, Northwestern National Life Insurance Company, g Minneapolis, Minn. Dear Sir:— You ask for my opinion of the *“North- western National™: If there is any busi- ness institution, the reliability of which depends on the personnel of its manage- ment, it is the life insurance company. If above statement is correct, there is no Company in the United States to which the policyholders of the Northwestern National” need to take off their hats. 1 doubt if there is a company its peer in this respect. I am carrying, and with absolute and intelligent content, $33,000 insurance with the “Northwestern National” for myself and sons. I gladly send this letter fi}rAsuch use as you may desire to make of it. Yours very truly, W. L. HARRIS. Lawrence J. Anderson, GENERAL AGENT, BEMIDJI, MINNESOTA. Office with Markham-Bailey' Co.

Kennedy of the Irish church mission at Alexandretta is the man who raised the slege of Deurtyul. He persuaded the military comman- der, against the influence of the local officials, to assign 560 soldiers to go with him and relleve the place. Deur- tyul had been besieged twelve days by 7,000 Bashi Bazouks, 400 of whom had rifles. For eight days the town had been without water. The be- leaguers were quickly dispersed by the force under Mr. Kennedy. Dur- ing the siege about fifty Turks were killed; while many others were wound- ed. The Armenian losses were ten killed and thirty wounded. All the surrounding villages have been burned. There are 3,600 absolutely destitute fugitives at Deurtyul and |- 2,000 here. WILL ASK FOR NEW TRIAL Lawyers for Captain Hains Preparing Their Plea. Flushing, N. Y., May 13.—Now that the trial of Captain Peter C. Hains, Jr., for the killing of William E. Annis is over interest centers on the sen- tence which Justice Garretson may see fit to impose on the young officer. Conviction of manslaughter in the first degree carries a prison term of from one day to twenty years. The prisoner will come up for sertence next Monday. Meantime his lawyers are preparing to make a strong plea for a new trial. John F. Meclntyre, Captain Hains’ chief counsel, said that there were sufficient errors dur- ing the trial to found an appeal should Justice Garretson deny motions for a new trial. District Attorney DeWitt was em- phatic in asserting that the conviction was sound and would never be re- versed. “We consider it a signal vie- tory for the state in that the insanity plea was so completely punctured,” sald the district attorney. EXTEND SCOPE OF PROBE Foreign Business of Harvester Trust to Be Investigated. ‘Washington, May 13.—The foreign business of the International Har- vester company is to undergo federal investigation. In connection with the inquiry which has been under way for-some time past into the affairs of this concern the commissioner of cor- porations has decided to ascertain whether farmers abroad are able to purchase farm machinery of Amer- fcan manufacture at a cheaper price than must be paid for it at home. The results of this action are ex- pected to be twofold—evidence will be obtained which will aid in estab- lishing whether or not the Interna- tional Harvester company is a trust in restraint of trade and in the matter of farm implements the country will be informed as to the advisability of entirely removing the duty which is now imposed upon that class of im- ports.
