The people of Bemidji and vicin- ity who attended the Yankee Robin- son circus yesterday were pleased to find that the show is conducted in a splendid manner, there being an entire absence of graft of any kind connected with the performances either on the circus grounds or ad- jacent thereto, Adverse reports of the circus had come from North Dakota to the effect that the shows were infested with grafters, gamblers, etc., and that the employes were immoral toughs. Such is far from being the truth. A representative of the Pioneer was present at both performances given by the circus company, and we found nothing but gentlemanly treat- ment being accorded to everybody. Not a grafter or a tough was in evi- dence anywhere. The visitors to the circus paid for what they got and received full value; there was no “skinning” anywhere. The circus performance was very good, being even better than that given by the Gollmar Bros., the first of the month. The Japswere very good, the trapeze acts were of a high order and all the performers did fine stunts. WANTED—Lady cook. Star Theatre.

IS INDIGNANT AT FALSE REPORTS OF GONVICTION S. M. Schaak, Who Had Moose Meat in His Possession, Indignant at Big City Papers. S. M. Schaak, a merchant and homesteader who is conducting a store and stopping place on the banks of Kithilake, in Beltrami county directly north of Cass lake, plead guilty yesterday in the munici- pal court of Bemidji to having had moose meat in his possession and was fined $50, the minimum penalty allowed by law for such an offense. Schaak had the moose meat in his possession on July 3rd, when S. C. Bailey of this city, game warden for the Minnesota State Game and Fish commission, ‘happened along and found the meat, Schaak admit- ting that he had moose meat. The warden allowed Schaak to remain in his place of business and appear later, he promising not to “take French leave.” In talking of the arrest and plea of guilty, Mr. Schaak was very much exercised over a report which had been sent out from Cass Lake to the twin city and Duluth papers, wherein it was stated positively that he had been caught red-handed and fined $100 and costs at Bemidji, before he had ever been arraigned in court. These reports were abso- lutely false, as the case was not taken up in court here until yester day, when Mr. Schaak plead guilty, paid his fine of $50 and was released from custody. *“The report that I was fined $100 and was misused by the local game warden is absolutely false,” said Mr. Schaak. “I was never better used in my life; and while the officers were strict with me, they were kind in every sense of the word. I am certain that the arrest and fine was the direct result of information given the warden by parties residing in Cass Lake who are the worst viola- tors of the game laws to be found in Minnesota, this being especially true of a certain merchant and a prominent hotelkeeper of that place.”” Judge Stanton Returns. Judge C. W. Stanton of this city has returned from International Falls, where he recently opened a term of district court for Koochich- ing county, he having been relieved by Judge McClenehan of Brainerd, for the remainder of the term. The arson case of the state against Geor8e Maher, involving the burning of a $5,000 warehouse at Big Falls, a year ago, has been taken up and itis thoughtit is al- most completed by this time. The-next term of court for Bel- trami county will be opened in this city on August 3rd, and Judge Stan- ton will preside. F. D. Sanger, a well-known resi- dent of Laporte, came up last even- ing for a brief business visit in the city, returning to Laporte on the 10:30 train. MAXIM & SIGHTS TURNED FOLKS AWAY LAST NIGHT “‘Escaped from the Harem” Proved a Strong Drawing Card.—Big East Lynne this Evening. “Standiag room only” was at a premium at the Maxam & Sights big tent last evening, company presented the roaring comedy, “Escaped from the Harem.” There was a large crowd at the main entrance, some moments before the opening of the sale of tickets, and there was something of a rush to secure preferred seats. It was impossible to accommodate all with space in the tent, and Mr. Sights was forced to turn several hundred disappointed people away, being unable to admit them. Theplay last evening was received with most generous applause, and there was action and life from the raising of the curtain to finale in the last act. Tonight the company will present its strongest feature, “Fast Lynne,” being original production in five acts, with eleven scenes, including the transformation scene, ‘“‘The Gates Ajar.” when the PROF. M. C. MARTIN, Of Minneapolis, Director of Bible Conference Choir. Mrs. Steenerson Injured. Washington, July 22,—Mrs. Hal- vor Steenerson, wife of the repre- sentative from Minnesota, was knocked down by a bicycle last night, and narrowly escaped serious injury. Mr. and Mrs. Steenerson were out walking, and were crossing the street. Mrs. Steenerson ran to escape an automobile, and was struck by a bicycle. She was thrown to the ground and hurt in the shoulde , thigh and kpee, but no bones were broken. She will be out in a few days. - Mrs. A. A. Melges of this city returned last evening from Minne- apolis, where she has been visiting during the last two weeks with friends and relatives. A. Olson, one of the well-known residents of Blackuck, accompanied by his good wife and family, came in yesterday morning from the “Duck” and spent the day on pleasure in the city. They returned home last evening after having “‘taken in* the circus. . Mr. Olson did not think he had been “taken in” and said that CONFERENCE ATTENDANTS ARE VERY ABLE TEACHERS The Corps of Noted Teachers Who Are Present at the Be- midji Bible Conference Sessions Are Making a Very Favorable Impression.

Closing Service There are no abler Bible expound- ers in this country than the little group who compose the force of teachers at the Bemidji Bible Con- ference this year. If this state- ment was doubted before, all doubt was removed yesterday from the minds of those who listened to those men. A church full of people hung breathlessly for three hours on every word these teachers uttered yester- day morning on the great themes un- der consideration. The analysis of the book of Romans by Dr. Soltau at 9 o’clock was a masterpiece. The fourfold force revealed in this book, by which God freely provides for man’s com- plete and permanent salavation from sin, was held up to the gaze and admiration of all. It was shown to consist in justi- fication by the grace of God; justi- fication by the blood of Christ; justi- fication by the resurrection of Christ from the dead and justification by the faith of the believer. The way of life anchored at both ends in eternity and buttressed underneath Proper eyes give out. dition. ffices over the Phone 92 by the foreknowledge, foreordination, effectual calling and justification of God’s grace struck onme as a safe way for the immortal soul to travel. At 11 o’clock Dr. Gelesnoff gave another exhibition of his masterly grasp of the Bible truth in a dis- pensational study. Christ’s word is the exact representation of Him. self and we can know Him only through His word, to make men free. It is therefore of supreme im- portance that we know the word. “Abraham, The Man of Faith,” was the subject of Dr. Soltau’s address. Abraham is called in scripture the friend of God. A friend will know God’s purposes; he will believe in God’s promises and obey God’s precepts. We may look for these characteristics in Abraham, the friend of God. Six features mark this friendship as true. He was called out, and went, which marks a surrendered ear; he went out, which going marks the surren- dered foot; he stayed out in the friendship of God, which marks the worn in time will prevent uatold suffering.
