THE BEMIDJI BAILY PIONEER PUSLISHED EVERY AFTERKOON BY - THE BEMIDJI PIONEER PUBLISHING CO. C. J. PRYOR. G. E.CARSON. Entered In the Postoffice at Bemidjl, Minnesota, as second class matter.’ SUBSGRIPTION---85.00 PER YEAR IN ADVANCE A GOOD MAN GONE. L"“poc” RUTLEDGE.] With a heavy heart would we drop a tear to the memory of A. M. Greeley, talented writer, true friend and staunch citizen. His death has brought the bitter cup of sorrow to the'lips of relatives and friends. His was a heart of gold. He was one of nature’s noble- men, ‘in the truest sense—brave, generous, manly. - His was the soul of honor, and his friends and friend- ships were sacred to him. It was the writer's privilege to have known Mr. Greeley as he was— to have been able to converse freely with him and know of his generous nature and his broad-mindedness. He never spoke harshly of anyone, and being of a retiring disposition, his quiet ways were often taken for sophisticated reserve that had sin- ister motives back of it. Such was far from the truth; there never was a man who disliked more to push himself to the front, which undoubt- edly is the reason why A. M. Greeley was not at the front of the men in public life in Minnesota today. Mr. Greeley was but 38 years of age at the time of his death, and we, with many others, grieve at his untimely taking off. In the pres- ence of the sorrow of his loving wife, how cold and impotent are words and how doubly deep would be the grief over the grave did not the rainbow of Christian hope span the dark gulf between time and eternity, and such pure, bright lives inspire the belief that .there is a better world beyond, where, far from the corroding cares of earth, the good and true are reunited “after life’s fitful fever.” In the words of J. W. Foley, who wrote “Elegy in a Country Print- shop:” “Heseta proof that showed up clean, and did his work up right; “He never shirked by day so he could double- space by night. *“The makeup's dumped his matter in, his form is closed, you see: “The galley's empty in the rack; his slug is twenty-three. THEY ALL LIKED BEMIDIL Editor Hutchinson of the Todd County Argus (published at Eagle Bend) was among the editors who attended the recent annual outing of the North-Central Minnesota Editorial association. Mr. Hutchin- son stopped here but one day and a night; and he says of his visit: “The second annual outing of the North-Central Editorial Association which was held at Bemidji last week was greatly enjoyed by all those attending and the citizens of Bemidji did themselves proud as usual in the way of entertainment. Bemidji is beautifully located on one of the the prettiest lakes in the state, and it would be hard to find ~ a better and more d@lightiul place for an outing. “The attendance was not as large as expected, but those present were all sorry that they were obliged to leave so soon. The banquet on Fri- day evening, which was tendered by the Commercial Club of the city, at Hotel Markham, was an elaborate affair, there being about one hun- dred and fifty of the prominent people of the city in attendance. The committee left nothing undone to enhance the enjoyment of the occasion. Following the banquet there were numerous speeches and toasts which lasted until a late hour. The visiting editors and their wives most certainly appreciate the kind hospitality extended to them, and their trip to Bemidji will long be remembered.” LEADERS OF REVOLT - PROMPTLY EXECUTED . Troops Now in Control of Sit- uation at Barcelona. Madrid, July 31.—The captain gen- eral of Barcelona has telegraphed to the general staff at Madrid that the revolutionists have surrendered and that he is now the master of the sit- uation. The number of victims as a result of the fighting in the streets is very high. Twenty-three buildings were de- stroyed by the artillery. The leaders of the rebels are now being trled by military courtmartial and summarily executed. There is no traln service between Barcelona and Madrid. Order has been re-established. at Figueras. The rfoters are being ar- rested In_large batches and are led off to prison with bayonets at their breasts. Nevertheless many revolu- tionarics have escaped and are mak- Ing their way to the frontier. TROOPS SECURE THE UPPER HAND Artillery Used at Barcelona With Awful Effect. CASUALTIES - ARE . HEAVY Although Meager the Reports Tell of a Bloody Conflict Between Ten Thousand Armed Revolutionists and the Spanish Artillery and Cavalry, Thirty Thousand Moors Pressing Spain's Defeated and Exhausted Forces In Morocco. SPANISH CRISIS CONTINUES The Spanish crisis at home and abroad continues to present many alarming features, with Barcelona yet in the throes of a revolutionary move- ment and an army of 30,000 Moors pressing Spain's defeated and exhaust- ed forces in Morocco. The reports from Barcelona are om: inously meager and from roundabout quarters. But the revolutionary move- ment appears to have passed its cli- max. Government troops are now re- ported to have the upper hand. The artillery has been used with merciless effect, driving back and capturing the main bodies of rioters and driving the remnants to outlying sections, The scattered fragments of information coming through: Madrid and frontier points are doubtless censored and lacking in exactness, but they give details of Dbloody conflicts between 10,000 armed revolutionists and the Spanish artillery and cavalry. From many interior points come re- ports of riot and incendiarism. But the movement is scattered and with- out apparenly a central orgnaization or a leader. In the north there are fears that Don Jamie, the new Car- list leader, will take advantage of *he situation by renewing the Carlist movement against the dynasty. Spanish warships have come to the relief of the defeated army in Mo- rocco and are reported to be shelling the Moorish forces. The battlefield where the Spaniards lost 8,000 is ‘a vast graveyard. The Spanish medical and headquarters equipment is de- moralized by unpreparedness for its glgantic task. PREPARING FOR NEW EFFORT Moors Withdraw From Outskirts of Melilla. Melilla, July 31.—The Moors have withdrawn from the outskirts of this city. It is believed they are concen- trating for a new effort. They burned hundreds of their dead, whom they ‘were unable to carry off. After the tribesmen had retired the sad work of burying the Spanish dead, which already were rotting in the sun, wag hurriedly accomplished in the ra- vine where two columns of Spanish troops were ambushed while trying to rescue a convoy. The ground was covered with heaps of corpses, many of whom were mutilated after death. The bodies had been stripped of their arms. In order to prevent an epi- demic the bodles were dumped into holes. The steamer Mouilla has arrived here with hundreds of tons of shells for the artillery and cartridges for the soldiers, whose ammunition was run- ning low. The greatest confusion reigns at the army headquarters. The over- worked staff seems demoralized. Ex- act figures of the dead and wounded since the heavy fighting broke out with the Moors are refused. TROOPS GAIN UPPER HAND Capture Main Body of Insurgents at Barcelona. Madrid, July 31.—The news from Barcelona that the cavalry and troops have gained the upper hand and cap- tured the main body of insurgents and that only isolated bands are hold- Ing out in the suburbs creates the greatest relief in official circles here. The work of repression will rapidly be followed up throughout Catalonia. It is officially announced that the cgvalry engaged at Barcelona succeed- ed in driving into St. Martin’s square the principal band of revolutionmists, agalnst whom the artillery opened fire. After fighting desperately and successfully for a long time the revo- lutionists were surrounded. Many persons were killed in the fighting and the survivors surrendered to the troops. No figures are given of the casu- alties at Barcelona. FOUGHT BEHIND BARRICADES Spanish Women Ald in Resisting the Soldiers. Cerbere, Franco-Spanish frontier, July 31.—The reports received here from Spain confirm the terrible fury of the women throughout Catalonia. At Barcelona they fought behind the barricades with the men, urging them to fight to the death. Everywhere they resisted searches by gendarmes for recruits for the reserves, barring the doors of their houses and firing at the soldiers from the windows. At Casa de la Salva the population surrounded and disarmed the civil guard and locked up the officlals in ‘the barracks. Not only at Barcelona but through- out the province church property was the special object of the popular fury. Horrible stories are recounted of the merciless fashion in which the churches and convents were sacked and burned. The inmates of the in- stitutions were driven into the fields to cries of “Down with the church.” __At Granollers, sixteen miles from Barcelona, two convents were burned. At Amer the Carmelite convent was looted and burned. The sisters nar- rowly escaped with their lives. Additional Locals Miss Alice Hagadone, one of the teachers attending the summer school, went to her home at Ten- strike last evening. ;. W. A. Currie, who ‘has charge of the sales department of the Northern Grocery company, went to Walker this morning on a business trip. Rev.

They attended the “big fair” and had a delightful visit; and now “Sis” will resume her duties as one of the faithful compositors on the Pioneer staff. HOLY WAR BEING PREACHED Additional Moors Preparing to Fight Against Spain. Ceuta, Morocco, July 31.—The na- Uves in the region surrounding this seaport are preparing to join their fighting brethren on the heights be- fore Melilla. A holy war is being preached from -Centa to Moulmuga and the whole country is aflame with fanaticism. The position of the Moors on Mount Guruga, where thirty thou- sand warriors are concentrated, is cousidered here to be impregnable. Cruiser Shelling Mount Guruga. Madrid, July 31.—Special dispatches received here from Melilla say that the: Spanish cruiser Numancia is-now _shelling the heights of Mount Guruga, which is swarming with Moors.
