The following was the cast of characters: *“Asano-Yu-Nissi,” a nobleman of Japan, Hudson Gaslin; “Mao-Na,” his wife, Fthel Jardine; “Mitsu,” their daughter, Hattie Swanson; “Masatsura”, Mitsu’s brother, Grace Parker; “Kimura Jamamoto,” Erwin Rolfe, “Tasaku,” his son, Ray Buor; *“Tasaku’s brother,” Archie Jardine; “Senkai,” Buddhist priest, Robert Leak; “Yuki” and “Haru,” Japanese girls, Helen Smith and Nellie Oliver; *‘Helen Morton” and “Lucy Brown,” American college girls, Helen Smith and Nellie Oliver. Benefit Dance Tuesday Night. A benefit dance will be given next Tuesday night in the city opera house under the auspices of the local lodge of Modern Brotherhood of America, the net proceeds from which will go to Walter Howe, who was recently injured in one of the mills to such an extent that the amputation of one of his limbs was necessary. The committee who have charge of the dance consist of J. Bisiar, A. A. Carter and Charles Hammond, and the fact that these gentlemen are connected with the affair insures a successful dance. First class music will be furnished by Harry Masten’s orchestra. Reception to Miss Hanson, One of the pleasant events of com- mencement week was the reception given by the Girls’ Glee Club in honor of Miss Dora Hanson, their instructor, yesterday afternoon at 2:30 o’clock. The reception was held at the home of Misses Gladys and Essie Brannon, members of the club, and the afternoon was pleasantly spent. An impromptu program was ren- dered and a dainty lunch was served by the hostesses. WANTED—Agents to sell Hardy Minnesota Grown Fruit and Orna- mental Nursery Stock. Liberal Commissions or Salary. Pay weekly. Complete outfit FREE. Apply L. L. May & Co., St. Paul, Minn, PLAYERS AND FANS SHOULD GIVE MORE AID Impossible to Give Public. Good Ball Unless There Is Co-operation and Backing, The management of the Bemidji baseball team is negotiating with the famous Colored Gophers of St. Paul for two games to be played here this month—on Sunday and Monday, June 27th and 28th. These games will be arranged, providing more interest is shown in contests by the public and the proper support is given the efforts of the management to give local “fans” some good support. This support must come from patrons of the games. & Players who will not g0 near the ball park until the evening before a game cannot justly expect to put up a first-class article of ball when visiting teams, trained to the minute, come here for games; and “fans” cannot be blamed if they “roast” the efforts of bad-conditioned players who make rotten errors and can’t hit a balloon. It takes practice to play ball; and when players are paid for their services (as they have been, every one of them this season) a fair return of playing ability is ex- pected by the public. This has not been given 1n full measure by all the members of the local team this year, despite the very liberal treatment accorded the boys by the present management. Lacal pride should enter somewhat into the make-up of even a ball player; and the mer who wear Bemidji uniforms should strive to win, by all honorable means, at the same time behaving like gentlemen while on the ¢‘field of battle.” * This mild advice is not given for the purpose of causing any trouble between the players and the public or the management; but is not out of place, everything considered. While the majority of Bemidji people are desirous of maintaining nothing but freindly relations with their neigh- bors, and while we want good ball, the Pioneer does not believe that it devolves on this paper and one or two loyal “fans” to continually boost the city and its team and receive a “mess of pottage” in return, keeping us inarms with our neighbors and getting a very common article of the great national game. Died at Turtle River. M. F, Ibertson, coroner of Bel- trami county, returned last night from Turtle River, where he had been called to investigate the cause of the death of Willis Dougherty, who dropped dead at his home at 11:30 yesterday morn- ing. The coroner found that heart failure caused the death of Mr. Dougherty. Mr. Dougherty was 57 years of age and is survived by a wife and six children, The funeral will probably be held tomorrow afternoon at Turtle River. County Board Adjourned Yesterday. The board of county commission- ers, after being in session for three days, adjouned yesterday afternoon baving about completed all of the clerical work required of the board before the bond issue can be finished. {DOINGS IN THE VARIOUS GHURGHES OF THE CITY Hours of Worship and Subjects ot Ser- mons to Be Delivered in the City Sunday.

The damage suit of Jacob L. Brown vs. the Douglass Lumber company, et al, still occupies the “boards,” in district court. Yesterday afternoon the plaintiff, Jacob L. Brown, and Dr. Shannon were examined on behalf of the plaintiff. The damage case was resumed this forenoon when the plaintiff and Dr. Shannon were called for cross-examination, after which the counsel for the plaintiff rested his case. M. A. Spooner, attorney for the Douglass - Lumber company, one of the defendants, moved to dismiss the action as against the Douglass Lumber company on the ground that the plaintiff had failed to prove a cause of action against this de- fendant. 5 The jury was excused at 10:30 while counsel for the plaintiff and .counsel for the defendant argued the motion regarding the dismissal of the case against tke Douglass Lum- ber company. The agrument was continued after dinner, when the jury was again excused until the completion of the argument. This afternoon Judge Stanton ex- cused, until Monday, all of the petit jurymen with the exception of those serving on the Brown damage suit. Meeting Bemidji Improvement League, Tuesday Afternoon. A meeting of the members of the Bemidji Improvement League will be held in the Masonic hall next Tues- day afternoon at3 o’clock. Much business of importance will be transacted and all members of the league are urged to be present. Incendiary Fire. The residence of Mrs. Mike Cummings, who lives at Nymore, was very nearly destroyed by fire yesterday morning, and, according to reports, Mrs. Cummings narrowly escaped from the building with ber life. It appears that some incendiary dug a hole under the north side of Mrs. Cummings, kitchen and placing refuse saturated with oil, set fire to the house. Mrs. Cummings was awakened by the smoke, just in time to break a window and jump through to the ground. She secured help and finally extinguished the fire, but not before the flames had done considerable damage to the roof and other parts of the kitchen. There is no clue to the identity of the disreputable persons who attempted to burn the building and end Mrs. Cummings’ life. Moral: Insure with the T. J. Miller Insurance agency. Memorial Exercises Tomorrow. Memorial exercises will be held at Greenwood cemetery tomorrow afternoon at 3:30 by the Royal Neighbors and Modern Woodmen of America. All members and their friends are urged to be present and decorate the graves of the following departed neighbors: Mrs. I. M. Foster, Act Plummer, L. H. Bailey, William Carlyle, A. P. Henrionnet, Frank Slurly and George E. Beere. —Committee. THAW’S APPEAL 1S DENIED Slayer of Stanford White Must Re- main in Asylum. New York, June 5.—Harry K. Thaw must remain in the state asylum for the criminal insane at Matteawan un- der a declsion rendered by the appel- late division of the supreme court in Brooklyn.

[ BERMAN EMPORIUM WIDOW MAY FAGE ~ GHARGE OF MURDER Latest Developments In Arho- gast Case at St Paul, 8t. Paul, May 5.—Mrs. Mina Arbo- gast, widow of Louls Arbogast, is in oustody of two trained nurses, who have been sworn in as special depu- tles by Sheriff Gerber, and is under arrest at her home in connection with the murder of her husband on May 13. Louise Arbogast, eldest daughter of the murdered man, has been indicted by the grand jury on the charge of murder and will be called into court shortly, when her attorney will ask the appointment of a commission by the probate court to inquire into her mental condition. A second and secret indictment was also found by the grand jury and it 1s known that it is against Mrs. Mina Arbogast' and that the charge is mur- der in the first degree. It is believed that Louise Arbogast will never be trled for murder, but it I8 sald that Mrs. Arbogast will posi- tively have to answer that charge. And it is also sald that her plea will be justifiable homicide, committed in & frenzy of fury when she discovered conditions in her household that robbed her for the moment of reason. HEAVY RAINFALL CONTINUES Immense Damage Results in Western Canada. ‘Winnipeg, Man.,, June 5.—Another heavy rainfall at Fernie caused Elk river to rise rapidly, flooding houses, lumber mills and schools and carry- Ing away an immense amount of cut lumber. Many booms went out, carry- Ing logs down the river by thousands. All streams in Kootenay are in flood, breaking all records. The Canadian Pacific railway track was washed away in many places and it will be several days before the track can be repaired, passengers being handled in boats. Special Deputies on Guard. McCloud, Cal, June 5—Fifty-five special deputies arrived here to guard the property of the McCloud River Lumber company, whose Italian labor- ers are on strike. An attempt to start. mill No. 1 failed, as no Italians re- ported for work. The machine shop, box factory and planing. mill resumed eperations with Ameérican workmen. F'wo logging camps started with small trews. SRR e "~ QUITE PAGIFI Expected Clash in Semate Fails to Materialize. ATTENDANCE VERY LARGE Members Expected Stormy Session and Nearly All Were in Their Seats When the Gavel Fell—La Follette Refers Briefly to Events of Preced- ing Session, but His Remarks Are Friendly and No Storm Follows. ‘Washington, June 5—No one was required to call for a quorum when the senate met. Events of the previ- ous night in respect to personal ref- erences to Senator La Follette had oaused feeling that a storm was brew- ing and nearly every semator was present when the senate met. Contrary to general expectation the opening scene, when Mr. La Fol- lette took the floor, was quite pacific. Mr. La Follette and Mr. Gallinger had p friendly exchange of words relating to refusal of the Wisconsin senator to yield to Mr. Gallinger for a question. Mr. La Follette said he had not been sick, but after holding the floor over five hours did not feel in condi- tion to continue at night and had re- mained at home to rest. He called attention to the fact that there were other senators who might have spoken, including Mr. Aldrich, who hed promised an explanation of the cotton schedule. Turning towards Mr. Aldrich Senator La Follette re- marked that that senator “stood upon this flcor as any other senator.” “He forgets it sometimes,” added Mr. La Follette.. Then, referring to the session of the previous evening as “sensational” to such an extent as to obscure the debate which had pre- ceded, Senator La Follette turned to Senator Penrose of Pennsylvania, who sat on the opposite side of the cham- ber facing Mr. La Follette. Suggests Task for Penrose. ¥ “As to the remarks of the senator from Pennsylvania,” said Senator La Follette, “I would suggest that he would render a more important serv- ice to the country and to his state if he would account for the way he spends his time when absent from this body than in any effort to make an account for my time.” Sitting upright and leaning forward Mr. Penrose gave close attention to every word of the senator from Wis- consin. The possibility of a severe olash between the two senators caused their colleagues on both sides of the chamber to shift eyes from one opponent to the other. The galleries were crowded, but the stillness was intense. “I might add,” continued the sen- ator from Wisconsin, “that no man could undertake to account for the whereabouts of the senator from Penn- sflvante without transgressing the rules of the senate and I do not.” Mr. Penrose, interrupting, referred to an article in a magazine published by the senator from Wisconsin as mis- représenting the speaker and Penn- sylvania. Mr. Penrose was promptly answered by Mr. La Follette, who #ald the statements were taken from a newspaper and when denied by that publication were promptly withdrawn by Mr. La Follette’s. Mr. La Follette then proceeded with his analysis of the tariff bill. SCORNS FAVOR FROM “BILL" Taft’s Nephew, Trapeze Performer, Happy With Stolen Bride. Chicago, June 5.—Accompanied by his bride of a few months, the daugh- ter of an Indianapolis manufacturer whom he won through his spectacular aerial stunts in a circus and with ‘whom he subsequently eloped, Charles C. Taft, son of Henry Taft of New York and nephew of the president, stopped in Chicago en route to Seat: tle. Young Taft, though a graduate of the Wilkesbarre school of law, chose the trapeze and bars as a profession and made good. Following his mar- rlage to Miss Piper, Taft essayed a particularly desperate feat, fell and Buffered a broken leg, a broken arm and a dislocated jaw. His bride nursed him and today is rejoicing be- cause Charlle is again about to take up his chosen work, notwithstanding she inherits approximately $500,000 from her father's estate in Indiana. Taft said in response to a question: “I don’t care for an appointment from ‘Uncle Bill’ I am happy with my stolen bride and that’s all I am thinking of just at present.” Assistant Attorney General. ‘Washington, June 5.—President Taft has appointed William R. Harr of the District of Columbia an assistant at- | ;:rney general of the United States. r. Harr succeeds Alford W. Cooley, who recently was appointed a su- preme court justice in Arizona. La Follette Resolution Adopted. ‘Washington, June 5.—With no oppo- sition the senate adopted Mr. La Fol- tatte‘s resolution calling on the presi- ent to sen to the senate correspond- ence between the state department and the German government relating to wages. APPROPRIATION IS CUT OUT Florida Senate Objects to Negro Stu- dents Wearing Uniforms. Tallahasse, Fla, June 5—The spirit which prompted the senate to strike out a $25,000 appropriation from the funds allotted the negro agri- cultural and mechanical college of this state was voiced by the speech of Senator Cone. “Take these brass buttons and chevrons away from the negro boys and make them plow the fields. “Think cf *. mer. negroes wearing o= uniforms yalking around ~the streets of our capital city. Why, Mr. President, I have even seen them sit- ting up here in the sehate. Negro captains; yes, captains. We'd better be making farmers out of them. Pat- ent leather shoes, red neckties, brass buttons and chevrons are breeding in the breast of every negro out there the ambition to be a Booker T. Wash- Ington and eat at some white man’s table. It is not right to appropriate to them all of this money to be used In this way. Why, they even have tennis courts out there. Why not make them plow these courts up and plant them in something. Let’s make them wear homespun shirts, jean breeches and get in the fields and plow.” MUST REMAIN IN SING SING Patrick’s Application for Writ of Ha- beas Corpus Denied. New York, June 5.—Albert T. Pat- rick’s application for a writ of habeas corpus relcasing him from Sing Sing, where he is under life sentence for the murder of William Marsh Rice, was denied by the appellate division of the supreme court in Brooklyn. NOMINATE MEN WHO CANNOT BE BOUGHT Bryan’s Advice Regarding Can- didates for Congress. Lincoln, Neb., June 5—Sounding the slogan for 1912 W. J. Bryan, in the forthcoming issue of the Com- moner, tells the Democrats to be up and doing. Mr. Bryan administers a slap at those members of his party who, he declares, are false to their platform on the tariff question. ‘.‘Dcmum'atic voters, you cannot be- gin too soon to select candidates for congress,” says Mr. Bryan. “In about & year the campaign will be on and upon that campaign will largely de- pend the hope of the party in 1912. Let those Democrats who believe in pure and undefiled Democracy get to- gether in each district and pick out a Democrat who cannot be bought or frightened. The trusts have stealth- ily secured control of some of the congressmen who were elected as Democrats and they will have the confidence of the trusts in securing a renomination. “The trusts can very well afford to put up the campaign funds if they can control the congressmen after election. The steel trust, for instance, could put $1,000,000 into the congres- slonal campaign fund without missing it—and it is only one of the many trusts—and $1,000,000 would supply 100 candidates with $10,000 apiece, or 200 candidates with $5,000 aplece. “When you see that a congressional candidate has money to spend find out where he is getting it. Take it for granted that he cannot get money from a predatory corporation without a promise, expressed or implied, and that he will pay the corporation back out of the pockets of the people.” MANY CASES ON CALENDAR Nearly Five Hundred Undisposed of When Court Adjourns. ‘Washington, June 5—When the su- preme court of the United States on Tuesday last adjourned for the term the docket was left with 478 cases undisposed of, which is a larger num- ber than has been left over since 1895. Before the creation of the circuit courts of appeals there were fre- quently almost 1,000 cases remaining at the close of a term, but those courts brought vast relief to the supreme court, so that now ordinarily the con- tinued cases number only about 400. There has, however, been a gradual increase in recent years owing to the growth of the population and the ac- quisition of additional territory through the Spanish war. The total number of cases on the docket for the last term was 108. Of these not quite half were disposed of. GRAIN AND PROVISION PRICES| Minneapolls Wheat.
