“SONS OF HERMAN" GAVE A DELIGHTFUL PICNIG With Their Families, They Spent Sun- day at the North End of Lake Bemidji. The members of Bemidji No. 17, Sons of Herman, picnic, at the beautiful grounds at the north end of Lake Bemidji, Sun- day, which was participated in by all the members of the lodge and their families and a number of invited guests—and the affair was pro- nounced one of the most enjoyable events of the kind ever given here. The official chef of the commissary department—Adolph Klein—h ad supplies in plenty, and none went a hankering for eitber eatables or the wherewithal to quench the thirst on a hot day. Chef Klein was “there” with the “hospitality,” and his genial invitation to “to come up and have someting” was only equalled by the exceeding urbanity of Colonel Fred Lodge, gave a Theater, who was in the front rank of the entertainers. As is always the case with good German folk, the ladies of the party had provided generous supplies of eatables and when .the “spread” was laid for the appeasing- of the appetites of the hungry, Matt Thome was so moved with happiness that he at once assembled his double quartette and broke forth into tune- ful melody, the first number being the ever-popular “Die Wacht am Reihan,” which always makes the heart of German descendants swell with pride. The double quarette was formed by John :Schmidt, leader; Adolph Klein, F. E. Brinkman, Frank Silver- sack, Matt Thome, Otto Jansch, H. F. Schmidt, Louis Wermer, with Frank Rippel added to make good full measure for the octette. And those warblers never seemed to tire; they sang both strenuously and melodiously and were the recipients of prolonged and sincere applause. It was 9:30 in the evening when the crowd decided that they had enough of the very pleasant occasion and very reluctmtly departed for Brinkman of the Brinkman Family their homes in the clty John Schmidt and His "De Wach am Reihan" Singers.

The yiolin recital given in the Presbyterian church Saturday even- ing was not as largely attended as was expected, owing to the ex- tremely warm weather; but the music lovers who were in attendance thoroughly appreciated every part of the program rendered. Errico Sansone, the violinist, delighted and held his audience by his solos and was generously applauded. He was ably assisted by Miss Ruth Wightman, pianist. Andrew Rood sang two solos, being accompanied by Miss Dicken- son on the piano and Errico San- sone on the violin. He received several encores. After the recital a reception was held at the home of Mrs. J. R. Stewart in honor of Frrico Sansone. There was a large crowd present and a pleasant hour was spent with the talented musician. Frappe was served to the guests. The Mullen Case. The preliminary hearing of the Mullen’s which was set for 2 o’clock at Judge Slocum’s office Monday afternoon was continued by consent of the parties until July 12th at two o’clock in the afternoon, and the defendants released npon bonds aggregating $5,000, with Frank Gagnon and Naish McKinnon as sureties. This matter has attracted consid- erable attention since proceedings were first instituted. The Mullen’s were arrested in April for conduct- ing a disorderly house at Nymore. The house is owned by Frank Gag- non, and has been in operation fora number of months. The Mullen’s demanded a preliminary hearing, which was had, and were bound over to await the action of the grand jury. The grand jury considered the matter and made a return of *no bill found.” Immediately upon the adjourn- ment of the grand jury, County Attorney McKusick caused the re- arrest of Mullen and his wife and the hearing was set, as before stated, for Monday afternoon, and has been continued until July 12th. . The place which has been so objectionable to the respectable element in Nymore, occupies the most conspicuous spot in the village and is plainly visible from trains on both railroads. The house has L been undergoing repairs since it was closed in the month of April, and we understand that its proprietor intends to open it in the near future as a hotel. Raymond Bell Co. Very Good. Raymond Bell and his efficient company gave a fine performance of “The Power of Love” at the City Opera House last evening, to a fair- sized crowd, considering the weather, and applause was frequent and genuine. The Raymond Bell company will present “The Hand of Justice,” tonight, an exceptional melo-drama of strong dramatic interest, inter- mingled with the most refined com- edy. The play has been sometimes produced under the title of “The Coiners.” The scenes are laid near London, England. Popular prices all week, 10, 20, 30cts. Seats at usnal place.

HARRY SMITH MET AWFUL DEATH ON THE RAILWAY Head Was Severed from Body Found son Canadian Northern Tracks Near Graceton. Baudette, June 22-—(Special to Pioneer.)—The body of a man named Harry Smith, whose home is at Graceton, was found by section men, yesterday, on the tracks of the Canadian-Northern railway, one mile west of Graceton. ] Smtth’s head had been completely severed from his body; and he is supposed to have been walking on the railroad track and was struck by the passenger train some time during Sunday night. The Spooner baseball nine defeated the Baudette team yester- day on the Baudette diamond by a score of 6 to 2. &iBatteries—Spooner, Larson and Stockland; Baudette—Schultz and Boigen, ““The Wood Family” Good.

Fowlds 5, Wilton 1, Fowlds, June 22.—(Special to Pioneer.)—The Laseball nine of Fowlds met and defeated the fast Wilton team on the Wilton diamond Sunday, by a score of 5 to 1, taking just sixty-five minutes to play the full nine innings. The game was featured by the fast, snappy fielding of the Fowlds team and the phenom- enal pitching of Stafford of Fowlds, who allowed only three scattered hits, all of the scratchy order, and with gilt-edged support, allowed only one Wilton player to reach third and score. Jerome did the receiving, and his work behind the bat was of high order, not a stolen base being made against him. Fowlds hasnot lost a game this season, and the good showing made in Sunday’s game insures them of a place with the fastest teams in the northern part of the state. The management is desirous of hearing from some of the fast teams for games to complete the shedule for the season.

Messrs. Tawney of Minnesota, Fitz- gerald of New York and Sherley of Kentucky sought in vain to induce Mr. Alexander of New York, in charge of the resolution, to let the matter go over until Thursday. These objectors refused unanimous consent to take the resolution up, but a viva voce got the resolution before the house under sus- pension of the rules and it was adopt- ed, 152 to 28. LOOKS EASY FOR NELSON Bat Is'Expected to Have No Trouble 2 in Beating Clifford. Oklahoma City, Okla., June 22.—Al- though no one here belleves that to- night’s fight between Battling Nelson, champion lightweight of the world, and Jack Clifford will make the cham- plon extend himself he looks fit to fight hard for his title. The fight is slated to last twenty rounds, but it will be & big surprise to the sports gathered here to see the contest if it goes the limit. Clifford has been training hard to get into condition. Nelson has also been here several days. MAUDE ADAMS TO BE SEEN AS JOAN OF ARG Only One Performance in the Harvard Stadium, Cambridge, Mass., June 22.—Never in,the history of the American stage has there been a performance such as that of “Joan of Arc” to be given by Maude Adamg in the Harvard sta- dium tonight. According to those who bave witnessed the rehearsals and MAUDE ADAMS. have grasped the'scope and purpose of the play the only dramatic repre- sentation with which it can be com- pared is the Pg_ssion play at Oberam- mergau. In a series of splendid dramatic pic- tures, drawn.on a vast scale, Miss Adams will depict the life of the young peasant girl who delivered France from the English invaders in the Fifteenth century. All sides of the Chn‘lcfl’r of the Maid of Orleans ‘will be shown—nher life in her native cottage, the visitation of voices that led her to the saving of her dearly beloved France, her leadership of the French forces to victory and her mar- tyrdom. The performance will be adequately staged. There will be 1,800 active participants, including about 800 men in armor on horseback, monks, citi- zens of both sexes, nobles, choir boys, English and French soldiery. The great historic figures of the time will be represented by actors well able to carry out the fllusion of reality and the stage settings and costumes will show the results of an immense amount of historical research. The play is an English version of Schil- ler’s “Joan of Arc.” Miss Adams has had the co-opera- tion of Charles Frohman, the well known manager, in her preparations for the representation of “Joan of Arc” Al his resources have been drawn upon freely for the success of the play. The purpose of the per- formance is the raising of money to help in the erection of a new building for the Germanic museum of Harvard university. Only one performance will be given. After the play tonight the company will be dispersed and the properties shipped to New York. BEAR RAID ON THE MARKET Starts Simultaneously With Rumor of Harriman’s lliness. New York, June 22—An uncon- firmed rumor that E. H. Harriman was very seriously ill in Vienna was cir- culated simultaneously with a bear rald on the stock market. At the Union Pacific offices prompt denial of the rumor was made and it was as- serted that a cablegram had been re- ceived from Mr. Harriman on some business matters. A Famous Year. It 1s contended that the year 1809 gave more celebrities and persons of genius to the world than any other year of the nineteenth century. Among those who were born in that memora- ble yeas were Abraham Lincoln, Edgar Allan Poe, Oliver Wendell Holmes, Willlam Ewart Gladstone, Charles Dar- win, Lord Houghton, Alfred Tennyson, Edward Fitzgerald, Professor Blackle, Mary Cowden Clarke and Felix Men- delssohn, GOULD DEFENSE 'RESTS ITS CASE Husband Failsto Take Stand in Divorce Trial. REBUTTAL EVIDENCE GIVEN | Witnesses for Plaintiff, in Person and _by Deposition, Declare That Mrs. Gould Always Acted “Ladylike and Above Reproach” and That She Never Indulged in Intoxicants “to Excess.” New York, June 22—When Justice Dowling opened court for a continua- Hon of the trial of Katherine Clem- mons Gould’s suit for separation and &0 alimony allowance of $2560,000 a Fear the defense sprung a surprise by announcing that they rested their case. Delancy Nicoll, counsel for Howard Gould, declared that on look- ing over the testimony which had been presented it was found so re- plete with evidence to establish the contention of the defense that Mr. Gould wes justified in the separation from his wife it was unnecessary to ogll any more witnesses, Clarence J. Shearn, attorney for Mrs. Gould, told the court that Mr. Nicoll’s announce- ment had taken the plaintiff by sur- prise and that they had no witnesses at hand to put on in rebuttal. With the court’s consent, however, he said he would read the depositions of wit- nesses taken in preparing the case for trlal. Mr. Shearn at once proceeded with the reading of these depositions. The deposition first taken up by Mr. Shearn was that of Mrs. Alice S. Bankhead of Atlanta, Ga., wife of Lieutenant Henry McCaulay Bank- herd of Fort McPherson, Ga., who visited Mrs. Gould on numerous occa- sions. Mrs. Bankhead related in her depo- sition the incidents of a visit with Mrs. Gould, as the latter’s guest, in Oalro, Egypt, in 1902, when the party visited the khedive's palace. The wit- ness described Mrs. Gould’s conduct on this occasion as “ladylike and above reproach.” Mrs. Bankhead also related her visits to Mrs. Gould on numerous other occasions and never saw her use intoxicants to excess. Always Decorous and Ladylike. Mr. Shearn next read the deposition of Lieutenant Bankhead. The witness sald that he was the son of Senator Bankhead of Alabama and had en- tered the army in 1898. The witness testified in regard to the various vis- its of himself and wife to the Gould estates and at hotels in this city. He had never seen Mrs. Gould intoxicated or observed her conduct to be in- decorous or unladylike. Her conduct always had been proper in every re- speot, the witness deposed, and he had never seen her ¢rink more than any of the guests at dinners. William F. Murphy, an automobile broker, who said he had charge of the private garage of Castle Gould from September, 1900, to April, 1902, testi- fled that he frequently drove Mrs. Gould about the estate when she was glving instructions to the various heads of departments. He never heard her curse or swear at any of the employes and never saw her when she showed “any sign of being under the influence of liquor.” ° Jacob Cocks, a resident of Port ‘Washington, who said he had done general roadbuilding, carting, etc., for Mrs. Gould at Castle Gould from 1901 to 1906 and sometimes met her to get orders as often as three times a day, testified that during this five-year perlod he had never seen Mrs. Gould intoxicated or heard her use abusive language. Thomas J. Jones, who was Mrs. Gould’s private secretary at Castle Gould and the St. Regis hotel in 1904 and 1905, said that Mrs. Gould dic- tated letters to him each day and that he never saw her intoxicated or heard her swear. ENDS IN A DISAGREEMENT Trial of Frisco Street Car Magnate Charged With Bribery. Ban Francisco, June 22—The trial of President Patrick Calhoun of the United Railroads terminated in a dis- agreement of the jury, with ten men determined on acquittal and two steadfastly resolved on conviction. Five months and a week have transpired since the street car mag- nate, a descendant of Patrick Henry, made his first appearance in court to answer to the charge of offering a bribe of $4,000 to a supervisor to,ob- taln a privilege for his corporation. Not until each juror had pronounced as hopeless the prospect of a verdict was the order for their liberation made by Judge Lawlor, prosecution and defense giving assent. ATTACK BANK GUARANTY ACT Bankers Apply for Injunction, Assert- Ing Measure Is Confiscatory. Omaha, June 22.—Fifty-two national and state bankers of Nebraska have filed applications in the federal court at Lincoln for an injunction to re- strain the enforcement of the state guaranty of bank deposits act.

Lake: The Great Salt lake is gradually dry- ing up, and the inhabitants of Salt Lake City scem quite surprised. They ought not to be. All salt lakes owe their salinity to the fact of their hav- ing no outlet, and a lake without an outlet is a dying lake. Nor is death usually long delayed, speaking geologically, Lakes Koko Nor and Lob Nor were undoubtedly extensive inland seas not so very many decades ago, yet Sven Hedin found them reduced to mere acrid puddles set in the midst of well nigh limitless salt deserts that once were thelr beds. The terrible Taklamakan desert, too, in which Hedin nearly died of thirst, Wwas once the bed of just such a lake, B0 also were the salt deserts of Persia. Northern Tibet is studded with salt lakes in process.of desiccation. The Aral and the Caspian seas were at one time far more extensive than is now the case, proving that they, too, are un- dergoing the inevitable process of des- fecation to which all such bodies of water are sooner or later invariably subjected.—St. Paul Pioneer Press, Negro Eloquence. Some years ago one of Texas’ widely known statesmen who is now dead was passing along a street in Dallas when an old colored man who had once belonged to him approached, took off his hat and passed a hand over his white wool as he asked: “Marster, gin de old man 50 cents.” “Dan, you are a robber.” “How?” asked the astonished darky, opening his eyes, around which rough- shod age had walked. “Didn’t you see me put my hand in my pocket?” “Yes, sah.” “Well, you old rascal, you rob me of the pleasure of giving you money with- out being asked.” The old man received a dollar. Bow- ing almost to the ground, while tears came out and coursed through the aged prints around his eyes, he replied: “Marster, wid—wid such a heart as you hab and wid Abraham and Isaac and de Lord on your side I don’t see what can keep you out of heaven.” Stella’s Dignity. “Glenn paid me a dandy compliment last night, mother —one that will please you, t00,” sald Stella Harding. “He was talking about the girls in this block and how disgusted the boys were getting with them. He said the trouble with the girls round here was that they had positively no personal dignity, and he never seemed to take into account that I lived in the block myself. But he made up afterward for forgetting. He said not much, he guessed, he didn’t mean me; that I was noted for my dignity with all the fellows, and he’d often heard them speak of it. What do you say to that?” Mrs. Harding was listening with motherly satisfaction. “How did it lmppen to occur to him that yom mlght be applying it to yourself?” she asked. “I put it to him straight. I just waited until he stopped for breath, and then I said, ‘Well, jiminy, Glenn, is this a slam?” “Stella, what a speech! dignity about that!” “Oh, toot, mammal!” was the laugh- ing response, made without the slight- est Intention of disrespect. ‘“That’s Just the way we all talk. Things like that don’t count on dignity one way or the other—not in our bunch. It's how you act, don’t you know?’— Youth’s Companion. There's no Foxes’ Scalps and Salvation. Some years ago at a session of the legislature of Kentucky an effort to repeal the law offering a bounty on foxes’ scalps was made, but was de- feated by the appeal of a member from a mountainous and sparsely set- tled region., “Do the gentlemen want to deprive my constituents and me of the benefits of hearing the - gospel preached?’ he demanded, with indig- nation in his tone and overspreading his rugged countenance. “We are all Methodists up my way, and our preachers won’t come without we can ONE CENT A WORD.
