MEEKER IS APPOINTED SUPERVISOR OF GENSUS Editor of Moordead Independent Lands ““Joh” Which Was Being Much Sought After. D. W. Meeker, editor of the Moorhead Independent, has been selected by son as supervison of census for the Ninth congressional district, and will have the “job.” While Mr. Steenerson doesnot actu- ally name the supervisor he recom- mends him for the appointment and that is as good as having the job in a cag as all congressman name the men for their districts. Itis said the position had been tendered J. P. Dotson, publisher of the Crookston Times, some time ago, but he declined as the duties would take him from his business too great a portion of the time. Another Crookston party circulated the rumor that he was to land the plum, but there was no foundation to the story. While from a political standpoint, there be those in this county who think that Congressman Steenerson could have made a wiser appoint- ment by naming’ some Beltrami county man, nevertheless, the appointment of Meeker will give satisfaction to a large following of Congressman Steenerson who are strong supporters of the Moorhead man. Meeker is a prominent figure in the politics of Clay county and has friendly relations with all the voters of adjoining counties, so that his appointment looks good from a standpoint of that section of the Ninth district. Mr. Meeker will undoubtedly make a very acceptable supervisor of census. He is competent and capable and has good judgment, coupled with honesty of purpose, which atributes are desirable in any capacity. Congressman Steener- Enjoyaple Picnic. A picnic was given at Diamond Point yesterday under the aus- pices of the ladies of the Swedish Lutheran church and the affair was attended by one of the largest crowds which ever participatéd in an out-door entertainment in this city. There was a short program, Rev. Grondvold delivering a short address, as did also Karl Stromme. Andrew Rood sang a solo and Professor Masten'’s orchestra played several up-to-date selections. Coffee and sandwiches and ice cream and cake were served during the afternoon and the majority of the crowd stayed until the early evening. All of the services were conducted in the Swedish language. Fourth of July Committees Meet Tuesday Evening. A meeting of all committees appointed in connection with the celebration to be held on July Fifth will be held at the council chamber in the city hall at 815 SHARP, and all who know themselves to be members of any committee are urged to be present, as co-operation is necessary to make the coming cele- bration a success. By Order of —THE COMMITTEE. ARMSTRONG GAFE WILL HANDLE A DAIRY LUNGH Method of Serving Patrons Will Be Changed, Wednesday, at the Popular Restaurant. The Armstrong Cafe, which has heretofore been conducted regulation restaurant, with the meals- at-all-hours plan predominating, will be run on a different plan, beginning with Wednesday morning, when Mr. Armstrong will inaugurate what he calls his' “Dairy Lunch.” This method of bandling lunch counters is in general vogue throughout the Eastern cities, and Mr. Armstrong believes that the new scheme of handling meals will become popular in Bemidji. ‘The regular dinner and supper bills will be discontinued and every- thing will be served as per order. Everything ordered” will be placed on the counters and each guest will wait on himself or herself. This method will give much better ser- vice, and the orders will be much ‘more satisfn_ctory. Mr. Armstrong is: spending con- siderable time and meney renovating and remodeling the interior of his place of business prior to changing the method of handling business. The main portion of the lunch room is being provided with new counters, chairs and tables, some of the latter being reserved exclusively for the lady patrons of the lunch room.

DAY M. & 1. PASSENGER NOW RUNS TO KELLIHER Change Gives Rise to Rumor of Pro- posed Extension of Read to Baudette. The day passenger train on the Minnesota & International railway is now running on to Kelliher, the schedule of the train being changed from Kelliher and better accomodation may be furn- ished the train crew. This not only gives the Kelliher branch passenger instead of mixed service, but furnishes better mail service as well. Some people who are well informed with the intentions of the Northern Pacific and Minnesota & Interna- tional officials, claim that the change of the train schedule, whereby the day passenger train goes on to Kelliher from Funkley, means that eventually the Kelliher branch will be extended to Baudette or Spooner or some point on the Lake of the Woods, but officials of the M. & L company have repeatedly denied that there is any intention, at present, of building an extension north from Kelliher. in order that R. F. Murphy Attended Funeral of Father. R. F. Murphy returned yesterday from De Graff, Minn., whither te had been to attend the funeral ard burial of the body of his father, tle late John P. Murphy, who died at Bellingham, Washington, on the 19th inst. The funeral was held at DeGraff last Thursday and the body was buried in the DeGraff cemetery, beside the remains of the wife of the deceased, who died several years ago. The funeral was largely attended, and the services were very impressive. The floral offerings were very beautiful, there ,being, among other handsome pieces, a floral wreath which was placed in the casket by the K. of C. lodge at Bellingham. Mr. Murphy has the sincere sympathy of Bemidji peoble in his great loss. Meeting to Form Gun Club. Having been very frequently asked, of late, to assist in the forma- tion of a gun club for Bemidji, a meeting is hereby called of all gun sportsmen of the city, to be held at the council chambers, in the city hall, next Wednesday evening, at 8:15, for the purpose of forming a club. —V. L. Ellis. THIS EVENING'S GAME. The game this evening will be called at 6:45, prompt. “Monte” Brown, ex-Minnesota University pitcher, will twirl for Bemidji, and Gallagher, former catcher for the Calumet Northern- Copper Country league, will be behind the bat. Garrison and McMurry will be the battery for the Gophers. The Colored Gophers of St. Paul are “some” baseball players, which fact the members of the fast aggre- gation from the Saintly City amply demonstrated yesterday afternoon to the entire satisfaction of a team which represented Bemidji and several hundred “fans” who had assembled to see the noted darkies cavort on the diamond. The visiting players simply “played horse” with the locals and made sixteen scores during the after- noon’s “‘seance,” exhibiting con- siderable charity, along about the seventh inning, when they stopped with eleven runs, but just to show the crowd that they could get a few more “tallies” if they desired, they crossed the “plate” five times in the last “frame.” The final score was 16 to 1—and it was a great piece of luck that gave the localstheir lone tally. The Gopher pitcher “wabbled” for a moment, afteryBush made a hit, in the fifth inning, when be gave two local bat- ters free transportation to first, this following an error of the third base- man, filling the bases and forcing in the score. Whether the dusky slab artist purposely presented Bush with the score is a matter of opinion, but it looked: like it. The playing of the ma]'ority ot the Bemidji team was on the “corner lot” order. The Bemidji players appeared to be terribly scared of the HIS CONFIDENCE ON A VACATION. COLORED GOPHERS THREW SCARE INTO THE LOCALS Visitors Gave a Splendid Exhibition of Fast Playing, and Won, Yesterday, 16 to .—Same Teams Will Play this Evening, at 6:45. visitors and most of them would | swing at any old thing the opposi- tion pitcher put.across the “pan,” the batters being kept in a “stew” by the incessant talk of McMurry, the Gopher catcher, who, as a josher and coacher, is certainly fine. He kept everybody going and had fine sport with the spectators, always keeping his temper and being ever ready with repartee. It was a case of a team trained to the minute to play a fast, aggressive game, pitted against a local organi- zation which had been “‘scraped together” with but little united practice, with the inevitable result that the visiting players easily won. The Gopher management chose Steele, their best “hurler,” to go on the slab, and the balance of the team played as follows: Wallace 2b, Taylor 3b, McMurry ¢, Barton cf; Milliner If, McDougal ss, Binga rf, Marshall 1b. Steele pitched a fine game, allow™ ing five hits, striking out thirteen, and giving three bases on balls. He had fine control, and was given great support by his team mates. McMurry caught like a big leaguer, and the fielding stunts were of the sensational order; all the time, this being especially true of the infield, which “ate up” everything that came along, all the players having“‘whips” that sent the ball to the basemen like a rocket. In hitting, the- visitors did about as they pleased. They “lined ’er out” or bunted, just as the occasion demanded, and toward the close of the game some of them purposely struck out in order to avoid running in the heat. They collected thir- teen hits, one being a2 home run by Marshall, and two two-baggers, by Taylor and McDougal. [Continued on Last Page.] Drs. Palmer: ’ DENTISTS, Miles Block.
