It was awful—what that Cass Lake baseball team did to the locals, in two small hours, yesterday after- noon. Charles and Louis Roy were the half-mile dash, a high dive, three- ring circus and concert, motor boat race, tight-rope walking exhibition, and a grand finale when ten runs were made in one inning—at least Captain Oman of Cass Lake. battery for Cass Lake. Leston pitched and Jerome and Mclven caught for Bemidji. There wasa free-for-all trot or pace, entrance free; a balloon ascension, a tub race, that is what it looked like. _ The final score was 20 to 0, in favor of Cass Lake. “Nuff sed.” The game is told herewith in car- toons: BAND ENTERTAINMENT IS Minstrel First Part, Followed by Vaude- ville Stunts.—Boys Working Hard for Success.

M. Phillippi, former super- intendent of the Beltrami county poor farm, who returned to Bemidji Saturday from an extended trip over Montana, Idahoand Utah. Mr. Phillippi recently became a stockholder in the Milwaukee Bat- tery Company, a new electric light- ing and power company, which has a new method of generating and dissemanating electricity. He took the states of Montana, Utah and Idaho as exclusive territory in which to sell rights for his company and traveled over practically every por- tion ot these states where there were cities of any size. ‘I'found out in Montana that the people who are living on the farming and grazing land out there have morey, and they are all following thé exceedingly pleasant pastime of ‘looking for suckers,—and they are getting the ‘biters,’ too. g "Out there in Montana mary men bhave dug holes, salted the ground quite thoronghly, bought a piece of ore and had the same assayed as coming out of his ‘mine’ and event- ually foisted upon some gulliable easterner (ata big figure) a worth- less hole in the ground as ‘pay dirt. ““As for farming land, I can truth- fully, and without boasting, say that none of it in Montana can compare tern Montana aré literally burning up for want of irirgation.

The latter will remain in Bemidji for several weeks, while Mr. Phillippi will leave the first of the week for points in North Dakota, where he will resume his work for the Battery company, which he says is in a flourishing condition. A Pioneer Church Worker. Rev. E. R. Pope of Minneapolis, state superintendent of Missions for the Baptist -church, Sundayed in Bemidji and participated quite pro- minently in the Sunday services, his visit here being of more than ordi- nary interest because of the fact that he organized the first Baptist con- gregation here and is well remem- bered. Rev. Pope presided at the ser- vices held in the Baptist church Sunday morning, when he preached a splendid sermon, to a crowded house. He also spoke at the union services held in the park Sunday evening, when there was another largely-attended meeting. Rev. Pope came here from Minne- apolis twelve years ago, when there was but a scattered hamlet where the city of Bemidji now stands and where the chief residents were In. i maps of dians, headed by the late Chief of ' The Philippines Bemidji.

Thomas Sheehy, a pioneer resident of Cass Lake who has more recently resided at Bena, came to Bemidji this morning and spent part of today here. “Tom” was arrayed in an immaculate collar and white tie and there be suspicion that he was in this vicinity for some purpose other than business. He refused to state what was the thusness of the why and remarked that the rain would break the dry spell. Sly one—that Tom.
