GO-OPERATION DESIRED FOR EDITORIAL BANQUET Citizens Generally Should Readily Lend Helping Hand to the Commercial Club Commitiee. Friday evening, at the Markham hotel, will be tendered a banquet to the visiting members of the Great Northern Editorial association and their ladies, who are coming to Bemidji to partake of the unbounded’ hospitality for the dispensation of which this city has derived an envi- able reputation. In order to make this reception and banquet to the visiting scribes the success that the guests have a reason to expect, it is necessary that the committee from the Commercial club be given the enthusiastic sup- port of every business man and his wife or sweetheart, as the case may be. The visit means much, and no one person or two or three should be called upon to shoulder all the work connected with the occasion, allowing persons who are prominent- ly identified with the city’s com- mercial interests to sit back and “take it easy.” Bemidji’s reputation as the most hospitable city in Northern Minne- sota will be in need of substantiation if more interest is not shown in public matters which are everyone’s concern and should receive co-opera- tion. Buy a ticket to the banquet and be there with your lady to assist in entertaining the visiting editors and their wives, Dog Poisoned, $50 Reward. E. E. gearlds of this city authoriz- es the Pioneer to offer a reward of $50 for the arrest and conviction of 'the person who, by means of poison, caused the death of his dog Tuesday morning.
