C. C. Woodward Prospering. A letter from Cottage Grove, Oregon, tells of the enterprise being exhibited there by C. C. Woodward, an old Bemidji resi- dent, who is apparently coming to the front among the busiuess men of the Oregon town. The letter contains the informa- tion that Mr. Woodward is now having “erected a handsome brick block, the dimensions of which are 74x100 feet, two stories with base- ment, and which will be completed in the most modern and up-to- date manner. It is said that this block, when completed, will be one of the most substantial build- ings in Cottage Grove, According to the letter, Mr, Woodward 1s also building a fine six-room cottage, for use as his personal home. The Bemidji friends ot Mr. Woodward are pleased to learn ot his success in his new home. Mr. Woodward still has some busi- ness interests in Bemidji. Mrs. George Anderson Well. Mrs, George Anderson is again at her home, having recovered from a serious attack of appendi- citis, which necessitated an opera- tion. In speaking of the opera- tion and the attention given Mrs. Anderson at St, Anthony’s hos- pital, Mr. Anderson says: ¢‘Mrs. Anderson was given the very best of treatment and care at St. Anthony’s hospital, and we cannot say too much in praise of the very excellent manner in which that institution is conducted. The sisters are certainly the best in their line that I ever saw. Drs, Smith, Henderson and Ward per- formed the operation, and their very excellent surgical work resulted in my wile recovering very rapidly and regaining her strength—in fact, she never felt better in her life.” From Pike’s Peak. The Pioneer today received the followidg telegram from E. H. Jerrard and C. L. Decker, who are delegates to attend the annual con- vention of the Elks of the United States, which will be held at Los Angeles, California. They are, today and tomorrow, on Pike’s Peak, Colorado, and the telegram was sent from the topmost part of the moun- tain and is as follows: “Pike’s Peak Summit, Colorado, July 10.—To Bemidji Pioneer, Bemidji, Minn.—Greetings from Jerrard and Decker; the top of Pike’s Peak isgreat. E. H. Jerrard. C. L. Decker.” Notice. Notice is hereby given that the partnership existing between P. J. O’Leary and W. N.

It is a well known fact that actors are the most partcular of all subjects in a photographic studio, hence it is a feather in the cap of Sweet, the famous photographer of Minneapolis, that there have posed for him in the past few years such widely known public characters as the late Richard Mansfield, Stuart Robson, Chauncey Olcot, ‘Valerie Bergere, and the unique and inimitable Philistine, Elbert Hubbard, with whom appreciation of fine art effects is a hobby. .

One grey horse, one black horse and one brown horse, each weighing about 1600, pounds broke out of pas- ture three miles northwest of Solway last Sunday and are now at large. Any information of their whereabouts will be greatfully received by Thomas Smart, Bemidji Resolutions.

The semi-annual meeting of the board of county commissioners will convene at the court house Monday, July 12, Next to the annual meet- ing held in January, this is the most important meeting held by the board and at that time consider- able routine business will be trans- acted. The board will probably be in session two or three days. Minnesota strawberries and blue- berries direct from orchards for Sun- day at Peterson’s. Too Well imitated. It 1s no easy matter for 4 yiolin mak- er to rival the famous Stradivarius In- struments, but this an American maker did, and did so effectively that experts propounced his violin a genuine Stradi- varjus. The succeszsful man was the late George Gemunder, 2 famous violin maker of New York. His remarkable ability as a preparer of violing was known to many a distinguished player, such as Ole Bull, Remenyl and Wil- helmj. But he madg, so runs the story, his greatest success at the Parvis expo- sitjon of Eiifel tower fame. T'o that es- hibition he sent an imitation Stradiva rius and to test its merits had it placed on exhibition as the genuine article. A committee of exports carefully ex amined the instrument and pronounced it a Stradivarius. So far Mr. (Gemun- der’s trfumpli was complete. But now came a difficuity. When he claimed that it was not an old violin, but a new one made by himself, the committee would not believe him. They declared he never made the jnstrument and pro- nounced him an impostor. He had done his work too well, Can’t Twiddle Their Thumbs, The gorilla and chimpanzee, which belong to the higher order of apes, have many points of resemblance to man, but there is one thing they can- not do—that s, twiddle their thumbs. In the gorflla the thumb is short and does not reach much beyond the bot- tom of the first joint of the forefinger. It is very much restricted in its move- ments, and the animal can neither twiddle his thumbs por turn them round so that the tips describe a circle. There are the same number of bones in the hand of a gorilla as {n the hand of a man, but the thumbs of the monkey have no separate flexor or bending muscle. This is why a monkey always keeps the thumb on the same side as the fingers and never bends it round any object that may be grasped. In the gorilla the web between the fingers extends to the second joint, the fingers taper to the tips, and there is a callos- ity on the knuckles on which the ani- mal rests when walking on all fours. Fickleness In Penmanship. Speaking of check signatyres and forgery, a downtown paying teller re- marked: “One of the most pecullar points in our business s one little com- prehended by the public. I mean the embarrassment caused by the man ‘whose signature Is seldom the same, or nearly so, two weeks In succession. “This fickleness Is not Intentional. It is In almost every case temperamen- tal. The man gullty of it is generally nervous and not infrequently is greatly lacking in stability of character. At times you, as a layman, would hardly belleve it possible that his signature on two different checks was the work of the same hand. “Of course we come to know these cases in time, and there are always certaln characteristics in a person’s handwriting which the expert can de- tect and which go far to convince. Nevertheless the changeable signature is a nuisance and involves an added peril.”—New York Globe. ‘ Hot Scotch. The young wife dipped the ladle into the porridge and smiled inquiringly at the overnight guest. “Will you have some hot Scotch, Mr. Dash?”’ she asked. Dash laughed. “Hot Scotch? Where is 1t?” said he. “Why, here, of course,” sald the young wife In a perplexed tone. “Didn’t you know that oatmeal i called hot Scotch?” “Er—I"— Dash stammered, and then the young husband caught his eye, and .he was silent. “I dido’t know it myself till last year,” she explained. “I heard George inviting his cousin over the telephone to meet him at the office and have a hot Scotch. I didn’t know what hot Scotch was till you told me, did I, George?” George, very red, answered huskily: “No, my dear.” Laughing at her own ignorance, the lady proceeded to serve the thick, pale bot Scotch.—New Orleans Times-Dem. ocrat. An fAcrobat’s Dilemma. The acrobats\of the music halls have no end in view except to cause amuse- ment. But suppose one should meet them in ordinary life? Mr. Berkeley, the proprietor of a London hotel, was In his office about 6 o’clock one even- ing when he heard a knock at the door, while a:voice, which seemed to express pain, cried ‘“Open!” Mr. Berkeley obeyed, but a cry of horror escaped him, and-he almost fell back- ward. He saw ' before him, rolling on the ground, topsy turvy, a kind of hu- man ball which was walking upon its hands, with the head twisted round, eyes protruding and neck contorted. “I did not wish to alarm my neigh- bors,” gasped this extraordinary be- Ing—it was a contortionist from a eir- cus who had been practicing In his room—“but I cannot unhook my leg from behind my neck, and unless you can help me I am afraid it is all up with me.” Mr. Berkeley disentangled the acro- bat, who fell exhausted on a chair. He had descended twenty stairs upon his hands in this position. A Bedouin's Idea of a Locomotive. It is interesting to know that the raflroad between Jaffa and Jerusalem was made possible by locomotives from Philadelphia. They were orig- inally made, writes Professor H. W. Dunning in “Today In Palestine,” for a road in Central America which un- fortunately could not pay for them when they were ready for delivery. They happened to be just right for the Jaffa-Jerusalem line and were at once purchased and shipped. I happened to be in Jerusalem, he writes, the day the first locomotive ar- rived there, Aug. 20, 1892. Not only the people from the city, but many from the villages, came to see the new wonder. Among them was a Bedouin from beyond Jordan. He carried back the report to the tribe: “It is like a big fron woman. It gives one screech and then runs away.” This ingenious description spread rapidly through the ancient land of Moab. The Lion and the Child. The strange spectacle of a lion play- ing with a child is reported to have been witnessed at Vryheid. A Dutch farmer, accompanied by his wife and little boy, was out shooting game. BSuddenly the attention of the parents was drawn to the child, who had tod- dled a short distance away to gather wild flowers. Crowing with delight, the little fellow was pulling the hair of a full grown lion, and the animal appeared to be enjoying the operation. Spellbound, the farmer and his wife #tood gazing at the scene. The farmer, even if his gun had contained a shot, could not have fired because of the child. The lion skipped sportively round the boy until, startled by loud shouts from the parents, it walked quietly away, followed by a lloness, which up to then had lain concealed in the long grass. A hpnt was afterward organized, but the lions had disappear- ed into the thick bush.—East Rand Express. She Hated Garrick. Mrs. Clive was eminent as an actress on the London stage before Garrick appeared, and as his blaze of excel- lence threw all others into compara- tive insignificance she never forgave him and took every opportunity of yenting her spleen. She was coarse, rude and violent in her temper and spared nobody. One night as Garrick was perform- ing “King Lear” she stood behind the scenes to observe him and, in spite of the roughness of her nature, was so deeply affected that she sobbed one minute and abused him the next, and at length, overcome by his pathetic touches, she hurried from the place with the following extraordinary trib- ute to the universality of his powers: “Hang him! I belleve he could act & gridiron.”—T. P.'s Weekly. What Is Education? Herbert Spencer tells us In one shert, pregnant sentence that the function of education is to prepare us for com- plete living. A true chord is touched by Sydney Smith when he urges the importance of happiness as an aid to education. He says, “If you make children happy now, you make them happy twenty years hence by the memory of it.” Equally wise are the words of Sir John Lubbock: “Knowledge is a pleas- ure as well as a power. It should lead us all to try with Milton to behold the bright countenance of truth in the still air of study.” A Cruel Insinuation. Btern Old Lady — They tell me, madam, your husband is continually smoking dreadfully— Young Woman (bursting Into tears) ~I don’t believe it, your horrid old thing! 0ld Lady (astounded)— What's the matter with the woman? Officious Bystander—Her husband’s dead.—Baltimore American. Hard to Decide. BSmithers—I am going to have my ple- ture taken. A good deal depends upon the pose, don’t you know. Now, what kind of a posjtion do you think would be the best for me? Brownrig—Well, I don’t know. I was going to say with your back to the camera, but then your bair is rather thin behind.—Boston Transcript. It Was Tantamount. “Has she told you that she loved you?' “Not in so many words. She:merely asked me what life insuranceyI car- rled.” Fortune gives too much to many, bat to none enough.—Martial. A Lucky Horseshoe. The Australians when they find a borseshoe throw it over their shoulder. A lady in Sydney found one and threw It gracefully over her shoulder. It went through a hatter's window and hit a customer who was trying on a uew hat. This gentleman, under the- impression that one of the shopmen ir- & fit of temporary insanity had played the trick, promptly struck him and sent him through the plate ginss win- dow. A general melee ensued, although on consideration nobody knew swhat # was all about. B P SUFFRAGETTES AGAIN LOSE Denied Right to Present Petition to Premier Asquith. London, July 10.—Sir Albert de Ruettzen, chief magistrate of the Metropolitan police - court, = decided against the suffragettes on the point raised by Miss Pankhurst regarding the right to present a petition to Pre; mier Asquith. The “court sentenced Miss Pankhurst to pay a fine of $25 or 80 to prison for a month on the charge of resisting the police. The constitutional question raised by Miss Pankhurst was argued at great length and the magistrate, be- fore announcing the judgment, said he anticipated that an appeal would be made to a higher court. Miss Pank- hurst, who defended herself, declared that her assault on Police Inspector Jarvis the night of June 30, when 116 suffragettes were arrested for trying to force their way into the house of commons, was her “gauge of battle to the government and defiance for its unconstitutional ways.” AT ATLANTIC CITY IN 1911 Location of Christian Endeavor Con- Yention Selected. St. Paul, July 10.—The next interna- tlonal Christian~ Endeavor convention in 1911 will be held in Atlantic City. The board of trustees, In session at the Hotel Ryan, so decided. The de- olslon was reached, however, only after two hours of earnest debate be- hind closed doors. Atlantic City, Kansas City, Indian- apolis, Dallas and Buffalo were after the 1911 gathering. Of all the as- Dpirants the New Jersey summer resort sent the smallest delegation and made the least noise. But its argument that the Fast, not having had the con- vention for six years, is entitled to it next time, proved more effective than rooting, Denominational rallies occupied the time of the delegates to the conven- tion after 10 a. m. Before that hour there were several meetings at the various churches in the city. ALL STREAMS ARE RECEDING Flood Conditions Improving in Kansas and Missouri. Kansas City, July 10.—All streams In this section are either falling or have become stationary and there are no indications of rain. Train service is improved, but schedules are still far from being adhered to. No addi- tional loss of life is reported. At Kansas City the Kansas river is gradually receding. At Springfield, Mo., where the Jordan river flooded part of the city, and at Ottawa, Kan,, where the Marais des Chagnes swept through the town, the waters are fast leaving the streets. At Pattonsburg and Chillicothe, Mo., there are many scenes of desolation as the people move back into their mud filled homes. Some apprehension s felt for farmers’ familles in the country surpounding Chillicothe, The Grand river there is still miles wide and many farmhouses are yet under water. SECURES AMERICAN HEIRESS Prince Miguel of Braganza to Wed Miss Anita Stewart. London, July 10.—The Austrian em- bassy announces that Prince Miguel of Braganza, eldest son of the pre- tender to the Portuguese throne, is engaged to Miss Anita Stewart, daugh- ter of Mrs. James Henry Smith of New York. Prince Miguel was born Sept. 22, 1878. He is the son of Duke Michael by the duke's first wife, Princess Elizabeth of Thurn-und-Taxis. Miss Stewart’s mother, Mrs. James Henry Smith, was formerly the wife of Will- iam R. Stewart. Mr. Smith died while the family were traveling in Japan two years ago, leaving an estate esti- mated at about $30,000,000. Prince Miguel is the grandson of ex-King Miguel of Portugal and is an officer in the Austrian army. The Uses of Adversity. “Grogan,” said the head of the de- partment store, eying him sharply, “you've quit drinking, haven’t you?' “Yes, sor,” answered the red headed Hibernlan who worked in the pack- ing department. “I haven’t taken a dhrink av annything sthronger th'n iced tay f'r three months.” “I am glad to hear it, Grogan. I'll make it an object to you to stay quit. But how did you break yourself of the babit?” i “Be hittin’ me thumb nail wid a bhammer whin I was packin’ a box o goods.” “I don’t see how that could cure you.” “Well, Misther Barker, it was this way. If I'd been sober, d’ye moind, I'd piver have done it, but I wasn’t. 'Whin I whacked me thumb instead av the nail I was thryin’ to dhrive it made a black spot at. the root av me thumb oail. I says to mesilf: ‘Grogan, I'll punish ye f'r that. Ye shan’t have a dhrink av ayther beer 'r whusky until that black spot has gone.’ ““Well, sor, it was two months befure It had growed out to the end o’ me thumb an’ I cud cut it off, an’ be that time I'd lost all me appetite £'r beer an’ whusky. “Thin I says to meself: ‘Grogan, I'll reward ye f'r that. Ye're a sober man now, an’ ye'll stay sober.” That’s the whole story, sor.”—Youth’s Companion, The Wise Eskimos. Everything in the Eskimo dress has a reason for its existence, writes Cap- tain Roald Amundsen in “The North- west Passage.” The members of Cap- tain Amundsen’s expeditions had be- come accustomed to the Eskimo dress and had adopted it, but many of them thought it ridiculous for grown up men to go about wearing fringe to their clothes, so they cut it off. I had my scruples about this, says the author, as I had already learned that most things in the Eskimo’s clothing fand other arrangements had thelir dis- tinet meaning and purpose, 8o I kept my fringe and put up with the ridi- cule. He laughs best who laughs last. One fine day the anovaks, a sort of tunic reaching below the knee, made of’: kin, from which the “fringes had"been cut off, commenced to curl up, and if the fringe had not been put on again quickly they would soon have looked like neckties. TAKES STAND T0 CLEAR HIS NAME Thomas Taggart Testifies in the Gingles Case. MISS BARRETTE A TENANT Had Rented Apartments to Her as a Manicure in One of His Hotels at French Lick—Does Not Know Ella Gingles and Never Heard of Any “White Slave Clique” With Head- quarters in His Town. Chicago, July 10.—Thomas Taggart of French Lick Springs, Ind., former chairman of the Democratic national committee, whose name was men- tloned in testimony given by Ella. Gin- gles, the eighteen-year-old Irish lace- maker, took the witness stand for the purpose of clearing his name of any connection with the case. Mr. Taggart was completely exoner- ated by a formal statement made by Attorney P. H. O’Donnell, counsel for the Gingles girl, and also by his own testimony. As a preliminary to his testimony on the point which brought him into court Mr. Taggart stated that he had lived in Indiana for thirty-five years, that he was married and had been in the hotel =business at French Lick Springs for a great many years. “I have been mayor of Indianapolis, chairman of the Democratic national committee and president of a street rallway company,” the witness con- tinued. “Do you know Miss Barrette, the complainant in this case?” “Yes.” “How did you get acquainted?” Rented Apartments to Her. “She worked as a manicure for a man by the name of Gibson at French Lick. He sold out to her and I, of course, rerented to her the apart- ments in one of my hotels,” “Did you ever hear anything against her character?” This question started a wrangle be- tween the attorneys, in the midst of which Attorney O’Donnell, addressing both the court and Mr. Taggart, made a formal statement exonerating Mr. Taggart in every particular, saying: “I want it distinctly understood that Mr. Taggart’s name was brought into this case over my protest. We have proof that Miss Gingles never was acnuainted with Mr. Taggart and his name was mentioned only indirectly by her. It might have been any one of 10,000 names of weaithy men, but it happened to be Taggart and in this particular Mr. Taggart is unfortu- nate,” The interrogation of the witness as to Miss Gingles was exceedingly brief. “Do you know Mijss Gingles?” asked Attorney Short. “I do not,” answered Mr. Taggart with emphasis. “Did you know of any hranch of the ‘white slave' clique that has its head- quarters at French Lick?” asked At- torney O'Donnell of the witness, “No, sir; I never heard of any such thing.” WILL START ON SEPT. 15 President Taft Announces Plans for Western Trip, Philadelphia, July 10,—President Taft has announced some of the tenta- tive plans for his trip West in the fall.

CLERMGNT, HUDSON'S STEAMER, LAUNCHED Will Have Conspicuous Place in Coming Celebration, New York, July 10.—With appropri- ate ceremonies and speeches, the fir- Ing of guns and the blowing of whis- tles and in the presence of a group of prominent citizens the replica of Robert Fulton’s steamboat, the Cler- mont, was launched today at Mariners Island, Staten Island. The Clermont’s sponsor was Mrs. Sutcliffe, granddaughter of Robert Fulton. An address on the historical features of the occasion was delivered by Edward Hagaman Hall, the author and historian, who is assistant sec- retary of the Hudson-Fulton commis- slon. The duplicate of the first practicable steamship has been constructed for the purpose of playing a conspicuous part in the coining great celebration at the end of September and’ the be- glnning of October of the tercenten- ary of the discovery of the Hudson river by Henry Hudson and of the centennial of Fulton’s epoch making feat of steaming from New York to Albany and back. The Clermont and the replica of the Half Moon, Hud- son’s vessel, which has been built in Holland, will be central features of the two weeks’ celebration. Together they will proceed up the Hudson to receive the acclamation of the throngs that will crowd the banks of the river, With the Clermont and the Half Moon will be reproductions of other historic vessels, such as the first sail- ing ferryboat navigated by the early Vanderbilt between Manhattan and Staten Island. The historic vessels will form the nucleus of a splendid naval parade composed in part of war- ships of this and other nations. The whole will be the most imposing and interesting naval spectacle ever seen in America, AMERICAN RIFLEMEN ABROAD Marksmen Will Contest at Schuetzen- fest in Hamburg.
