On behalf of the city of Bemidji, officially, and her citizens in general, and on its own behalf, the Pioneer most heartily welcomes to Bemidji plant and business at Turtle River, spent yesterday in Bemidji and returned to his home last evening. Matt Fisher, the sphnix-like owner of the townsite of Funkley, spent yesterdayin Bemidji on business and teturned to his ‘home’last evening. Matt conducts a saloon and hotel at Funkley. Leslie Fargo, linotype operator on the Crookston Daily Times, and Houser Holton, arrived in the city yesterday and will spend the next two weeks in this vicinity, camping and enjoying also of Crookston, _ an outing. the' ec!nors of tl.le.Great Northel:n Fléiirs” Haloy, ops.of e Hue Ed{(onal association and their blue “good fellows” living on the L Cormant river, was circulating May each and allof you thoroughly enjoy every minute of your stay here; and if, by any miscarriage of arrange- ments, you should be subjected to misuse or inconvenience, call up the editor hereof, who is chairman of the reception committee, at any time, night or day, and we will do all in our power to remedy the exist- ing “evil.” Recognizing the importance of your visit', and knowing just how much worth to place on your good opinion of all of us, we trust that you may be able, when you depart, to say a kindly word for the city and her people who are willing to do all possible to entertain you during your sojourn among us. If you want tofish, why fish; and if the fish don’t bite, don’t use pro- fane language — no really good angler swears, you know. If you want a boat ride, go along with the crowd Saturday, and see the attrac- tive and beautiful points along the banks of Lake Bemidji and down the “Father of Waters” to the dam. And if your conscience will permit, watch the boat races Sunday after- noon. Enjoy yourselves; and call around once in a while and give an account of yourself, at the Pioneer office, where the latch-string will be ever out and easy of access. CAUSTIC COMMENT. LA. G. Rutledge.] A couple were recently married. The ceremony over, the wife began to weep copiously. “What’s the matter,” asks the husband, “T never told you that I didn’t know how to cook,” sobbed the bride. “Don’t fret,” said he. “I'll not have anything to eat; I’m an editor.” The public has little appreciation of the value of well-conducted local newspapers. Their offices of bene- ficence to the community are so common that they are unnoted, but none the less no town or city -can advance without its newspapers are in the forefront of its advancement. They are the life of the community. They must lead in every effort to invite capital, enlarge industries and enthuse the people in the use of their advantages. Lawyers stand up in court houses, before jurors, in the presence of large audiences, and denounce men as liars, scoundrels, thieves and per- jured villians, and when court adjourns the men appear to harbor no ill will against them. Butleta newspaper faintly intimate that a man’s character is blemished, and he has to confront a horse pistol, stand a libel suit or suffer what the people think to be the worst of all mortifications—lose a subscriber. Most anybody can edit a news- paper and make it interesting for a while. Some people can keep up the interest for a month or two with- out fagging, but it takes a natural- born pencil-shover and a hard worker to grind out an interesting batch of local and editoriol items every day, week after week, for a term of years. There is no profes- sion that is more exhausting or less remunerative for the work than the editorial or journalistic profession; but how few believe this. Try it, gentle reader, and you will speedily be convinced. Additional Locals F. C. Johnson, the manager of the Kelliher Journal, spent yesterday in 'Bemidji and returned to his home last evening. J. H. Simms, the local commercial traveler, returned last evening from a business trip down the south line ‘of the M. & I. railway. J. C. Hayner, the Tenstrike rustler, came to the city yesterday moon from a business trip to Bagley, re- turning to his home at Tenstrike last evening. A. C. Johnson, the general mana- ger of the Kelso Lumber company’s among his local friends yesterday, coming down from his home yester- day morning and returning home last evening. John Dale, senior member of the firm of Larkin & Dale, came to Be- midji yesterday morning and spent theday here on a business mission, returning to Turtle last evening. He states that little John and Mrs. John are doing nicely, these days. M. D. Stoner, city engineer, went to Blackduck last evening on a busi- ness trip, Mr. Stoner will lay out the lawn on the grounds at the new Blackduck school house and inci- dentally note how business is pro- gressing at some enterprises there in which he is interested. Mrs. C. H. Hanson and daughter Laura, respectively mother and sister of John Hanson, cashier for the Crookston Lumber ‘company, came to the city last evening from their home at Lake City and will visit for a fortnight at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Hanson. P. V. Murray and family of East Grand Forks, returned to their home yesterday, having spent a month at their summer cottage, Grand Forks Bay. The Murray’s spent several weeks here every summer, at the Bay, and they are enthusiastically “boosting” Bemidji at all times, over west. Rev. Kolste, pastor of the local Norwegian Lutheran church, spent yesterday in the city, and after per- forming a marriage ceremony in the church, in the afternoon, left last evening for his homestead, on Long lake, southeast of the village of Turtle River, where the reverend gentleman and his family arc greatly enjoying country life among the pines. Again the Maxam & Sights com- pany rleased a large audience at the auditorium last night, presenting for the first time here, “Don’t Tell My Wife.” The company is growing in favor with Chautauquans, and it is clearly evident that this change ‘in the programme by the board of directors is going to prove a success. Of course it is an utter and absolute impossibility to please everybody. The high brows are sniffing a little this year, while heretofore the most of the kickers came from the common herd who were rather more inclined to be entertained than instructed. This year the management has pro- vided bothentertainment and instruc- tion and it isa noticeable fact that 'the entertainment seekers greatly outnumber the seekers of instruction and higher ideals.—Devils Lake Daily Journal July 7th.

CUSTOMS COURT FEATURE STAYS ‘House Accepts Semate Pro- vision-on Subject. CREATES NEW TRIBUNAL WIIl Consist of Five Members and Will Deal With All Appeals From Declisions of the Board of General Appraisers—Is Authorized to Sit In Various Cities in All Seotions of the Country. E ‘Washington, July ‘1li~~In"the con- ference on the tariff bill the. represen- tatives of the house agreed to accept the senate customs court provision. The conferees spent the greater part of the forenoon session consider- ing the court provision and it is un- derstood that the conclusion to retain it was unanimous. The amendment was inserted by the senate at-the instance of the administration, so that it may be said now that both branches of the government are fully in accord on the subject and there is no doubt of its final retention. The full title of the court is “the United States court of customs ap peals” .and it is intended that it shall deal with all cases of appeal from the decision of the United States board of general appraisers. In this respect the court takes the place of the Unit- ed States circuit court of appeals and in addition it is provided that its judg- ments shall be final in all such cases. The supreme court of the United States also will be relleved of the consideration of customs cases. The court is to be composed of a presiding Jjudge and four associate judges and is to be supplied with a clerk and a marshal. It is required that the court shall be always open for business and while its headquarters are to be in New York city it is authorized to sit once a year or oftener in Boston, Phil- adelphia, Baltimore, Savanmah, New Orleans, Galveston, Chicago, St. Louis, Seattle, Portland and San Francisco and at other places when designated by the court itself. The salaries of the judges were fixed at $10,000 per annum, as provid- ed originally by the senate committee on finance. They had been reduced to $7,000 while the amendment was under consideration in the senate. The senate administrative act, which was drawn for the purpose of preventing undervaluation of such im- ported articles as are not in common use in the country of manufacture, ‘was also adopted. SENATE BILL INCREASES DUTY La Follette Socures Analysis of Mcao- ure as Passed. ‘Washington, July 1/ .—Through Sen- ator La Follette the burcau of statis- ties of the department of commerce and labor has presented to congress an analysis of the Increases and de- creases of the Payne-Aldrich tariff bill Summarizing this analysis Mr. La Follette says that “according to the figures supplied by the bureau the bill as passed by the senate upon the basis of the importations of 1907 leaves unchanged the duties upon im- ports of the value of $450,106,037, or 64.65 per cent. Duties are ‘Increased upon Imports of the value of $149,- 716,619, or 21.51 per cent, while the decreases affect imports of the value of $96,369,619, or 13.84 per cent. The average Increase of the entire bill-is B.65 per cent.” Kenosha’s Mayor Will Fix Styles of Bathing by Official Decree. Kenosha, Wis., July 1..—The staid old German population of Kenosha has been shocked and as a result of a protest Mayor Scholey will in a few days publish to the people of the city a proclamation in which he will fix the style and length of bathing suits to be worn by the fair bathers of Kenosha. The city opened its first public bath- Ing beach last Saturday and at a meeting of the council just held Al- derman Stemm stated that the people of his ward had protested against the brevity of the bathing sults worn by one corpulent person on the opening day at the beach. The council fmme- diately took up the matter and the mayor was ordered by a unanimous vote of the council to take up the matter at once and publish-the rules in the official paper of the city. ORDERED TO QUIT GERMANY German-American‘ Marksman Now on Visit to Fatherland. Hamburg, July 1/—E. Staak, one of the German-American marksmen ‘who arrived here to take part in the shooting competitions, has received fotice from the police to leave the eountry. No reason for this action is ussigned, but it presumably is taken because Mr. Staak, who was born in Otterdorf, a small town of Prussia failed to perform his military- service before leaving Germany for America. Mr. Staak is the proprietor of a cafe In New York. The American embassy at Berlin has been advised of this in- cident and it is understood here that there s a chance of the police noti- - fication being withdrawn, because Mr. Staak is in a measure a guest of the oity. TELL OF GIRL'S FORMER LIFE Canadian Witnesses on Stand In Gin gles Case. Chicago, July 1/—David 8. Thorn ton of Belleville, Can., in whose home Ella Gingles was employed as a-cook, took tho stand In the trial of the young lacemaker, who is charged with larceny. Thornton swore that the girl was employed: at his home under-the| SOME RESIDENTS SHOCKED | name’of Fla Raymond and that while there she stole several pieces of linen. Dr. W. J. Gibson, superintendent_of the Belleville hospital of Belleville Can, testifled regarding the physical condition of Miss Gingles at the time he attended her at the Thornton home in that city. His testimony tended tc refute the ‘theory that she was the {nnocent girl she pretended to be. ‘RIVER CONTINUES TO -RISE Mississippi at “St.” Lovis Far Above the Danger ‘Mark. St. Louis, July 15.—The flood in the Mississippi river here, which is caused by ‘rains in Missouri émptying intc the Missouri river and thence intc the Mississippi, is 4.5 feet above the danger mark and still rising. ‘Damage has’ heen done to farim-lands and rail roads alone. The farmers of Missour! have lost thousands of dollars in de stroyed crops and washed away lands. The railroads will have to rebuild many miles of tracks which are now under water. Trains and mails are still greatly delayed. JULY WHEAT ‘REACHES $1.27 PER BUSHEL Sensational ‘Advance Due 1o Demand by Shorts, Chicago, July 15—Wheat for July delivery made a sensational advance of 5 cents per bushel on the board of trade when it jumped to $1.26 during the first half hour of trading. This price eclipscd by 41 cents the previ- ous high point for the season. The bulge was ‘due to the extremely urgent desire of many traders to cover short sales in view of the poor prospect of any considerable move ment of new wheat to market this month, rafns having fnterfered with harvest opcrations in the West and Southwest. The market for the July optlon has heen in a congested condi tion ever since the closing of the cele- brated “deal” in the May delivery and when traders sought to buy the July wheat there was almost none to be had. The price at the opening was $1., 20% to $1.21%. The price continued to advance by leaps of one-quarter to 1 cent at a jump. When the price touched $1.¢5 a big shout arose. The climax seemed to have been reached at this figure and the price sagged somewhat on realizing sales. Before the close of the market July went to $1:27, a gain of 7 cents for the day.
