SUBSGRIPTION---$5.00 PER YEAR IN ADVANCE BOOST THE “FAIR OF ’09.” Fvery resident of Bemidji, whether engaged in business- pursuits or laboring for others, should “boost” the county fair which will be held in this ctty Wednesday, Thursday and Friday of next week, and every- thing possible should be done to assist President Schroeder and Sec- retary Mackenzie in making this fair the bannsr event in the history of the association. While it will be impossible for the association to offer big purses for horse or auto races, or speed con- tests of any kind, yet local autoists and horsemen have signified their intention of entering into contests, each day of the fair, that promise fine sport. With a fine half-mile track, some dozen or more autos, several horses that are really fast, and motor cyclists from the twin cities to participate in the events, there will be something thriling going on all the time to interest those who care for this kind of enter- tainment. The real purpose of the fair is to encourage, by friendly competition among the farmers of the county, raising of better crops, and the de- velopment of not only the agricul- tural rvesources of this section, but also dairying and stockraising. Liberal premiums have been offered; and from present indications, the exhibits will eclipse anythtng of the kind ever shown here. These fairs have a tendency to bring more closely together the farmers and the business men and private citizens of the city, with mutual benefit to all; and every en- couragement, both financial and moral, should be given the enter- prise. “TAKE IT BACK” OR——— Says thatimp of Satan, “Tony” Lafreineire (guess that’s the way he spells it), in his Grand Rapids Independent: “Editor Oberg of the Blackduck American is reported in the Bemidji Pioneer as having a ‘nice bunch of (Beltrami) county orders’ which he recently got cashed at Bemidji. We scent a burglarly in the near future. Oberg should have known better than to put the Pioner next.” Just how much Brler Lafreineire tips the scales at avoirdupois, we are not quite certain; but if he’ll come over and repeat that insinua- tion as to our covetousness, we'll guarantee to put him to sleep inside ten rounds. Anyhow, it is altogether likely that Br'er Oberg had “hung onto” the orders so long that they were assigned to someone else—ice man, or some other soulless individual with whom we scribes must have to do. CAUSTIC COMMENT. LA. G, Rutledge.] AT LAST. O, the bold Lochinvar skooted in from the west, and of all the new air ships his one was the best. He seized the fair lady and rushed to the car. “You will fly with me now,” quoth the bold Lochinvar. We doubt that the Greek fraterni- ties can ever be expelled from the colleges, and we know that Pi Etas are a fixture in our politics. Mr. Cannon says that the Payne bill “is the best thing done by con- gress in fifty years.” There is nothing like criticism from the inside for real meanness. There are fears that prohibition laws will merely operate in the establishment of lucrative monopolies for moonshine whiskey. But most people who have tasted moonshine whiskey will regard it as an excellent argument for prohibition. The editor of the Tokyo Times feels deep pity for American hus- bands, and is going back to tell the Japanese all aboutit. This is pretty bad, of course, but somehow we feel better than if he were going to report that his heart was breaking over the misfortunes of the American wife Aeronaut Drops to Death. De Kalb, 111, Sept. 8.—Failure of his parachute to open after he had cut loose from his balloon at’'a height of 1,000 feet cost the life of Fred Banker, an aeronaut from Aurera, Ill, who ‘was making an ascension at Hlectric park, near De Kalb. e THREATS TO KILL PRESIDENT Becret Service Men in Possession of Letters. Chicago, Sept. '.—Secret service meén are sald to have in their posses- sion two letlers threatening the life of President Taft during his visit to Chicago. It has leaked out that the depart- ment as a result is taking extra pre- caution to guard the president while in the city and-plans more elaborate than any that have ever marked the visit of a president are being laid for guaranteeing the security of the exec: utive. Captain Porter.of the secret service dismissed the affair with the reply: “These letters are from cranks. We are not even giving them considera- tion.” MRS. COOK DENIES REPORT Has Not Received Diary of Her Hus- band’s Trip. Portland, Me., Sept. }.—Breaking her long silence Mrs. Frederick A. Cook, whose husband’s claims of hav- ing discovered the North pole ante- date those of Commander Peary, com- mented on the reports of Commander Peary having reached the goal of his ambition. Mrs. Cook said: “If Commander Peary has discov- ered the pole, as I am sure my hus- MRS. FREDERICK A. COOK. band has, him.” The New York dispatcH stating that Rudolph Francke had brought to her a diary from her husband at Etah, which Mrs. Cook had transcribed and which would go far towards proving her husband’s claims to the discovery of the pole, was denled by the wife of the explorer. MILLION DOLLARS ~ IN REFUNDMENTS Order of Commission Affects Southern Railroads. I heartily congratulate ‘Washington, Sept. .—An order in- volving approximately $1,000,000 in reparation has been issued by the in- terstate commerce commission. It in cluded claims in what is known as the Central Yellow Pine assoclation territory—Louisiana, Mississippi and ‘Western Alabama—and involved a re funding of amounts paid by a large number of shippers of yellow pine lumber from the territory to points in other states on which an overcharge of 2 cents a hundred pounds was col Iected by various railroads. The settlement of the cases was made on the same basis as that effect- ed in the yellow pine lumber cases in other territory of the South, 67 per cent of the provable claims being al- lowed. The cases covered by the or- der are known as the Green & Green claims and they were Instituted against all of the railroads operating in the Central Yellow Pine associa- tlon territory. REMAINDER OF BODY FOUND Head and Arms of Young Woman Re- covered at Detroit. Detroit, Sept. .—The head and erms of a young woman -were found enclosed in a sack in Eecorse oreek under the Jefferson avenue bridge. The face of the girl was in such a fair state of preservation that identifica- ticn should be only a matter of a day or two at the most. And once the identity of the unfortunate girl is re- vealed the county and city authorities will feel that they have made a long stride toward a solution of the mys- tery that was presented to them Mon day when the torso of a young womaan was discovered sewed in a simdar sack In Ecorse creek In the suburb of Ecorse. Later in the day the body was iden- tified as that of Miss Mabel Millman of Ann Arbor, the daughter of the widow of an Ann Arbor policeman. MANY WITNESSES SUMMONED National Board Investigating Charges Against Soldiers’ Home. Sawtelle, Cal, Sept. ).—Headed by TUnited States Senator Warner the na: tional board of governors of Grand Army veterans’ homes began an in- vestigation of the charges of misman. agement against the officlals of the home here. Senator Warner said that the present inquiry would go to the bottom of the affair and numerous witnesses have been called to testify. Asquith Annoyed by Suffragettes. Pythie, Eng., Sept.- 8—The militant suffragettes have pursued Premier Asquith into his vacation quietude. They climbed into Lympne castle while the premier and his family were at dinner, throwing stones through the windows and shouting suffragist messages. They then made their es- cape in the darkness. WORLD ACCEPTS " PEARY'S STORY No Doubt Expressed That He Reached the Pole. WILL CLAIM DISCOVERY Intentions of Naval Explorer to As- sert Priority in Achieving the Ob- Ject of Centuries of Endeavor Made Manifest by Manner of His An- nouncement — Public ~ Withholding Judgment on the Question Pending Further Developments. New York, Sept. .—The announce- ment of Commander Peary that he has dlecovered the North pole rivets the attention of the entire civilized world. ‘Whatever question of priority may exist between the claims of Comman- der Peary and Dr. Cook there can be no doubt that to the United States belongs the unguestionable credit and lasting remown of discovering the North pole. The remarkable coincidence of two American announcements of such a colossal achievement, coming within five days, after centuries of fruitless endeavor, constitutes one of the most remarkable coincidences in history. The guestion of priority in reaching the pole now absorbs attention in this country and Furope. That Peary will clajm to be the first discoverer ap- pears to be definitely assured from the following: 8erves Notice to Whole World. First—Formal aunnouncement has been telegraphed from Indian Harbor, Labrador, to all principal American and Geographical societies of all na- tlons, including Japan and Braall, spe- cifically announcing that “the North pole was discovered April 6 by the Peary Arctic club expedition under eommand of Commander Péary.” Second—A London dispatch re- gefved from St. Johns, N. F., states that Commander Peary claims that he was the first man to reach the North pole. Aside from the question of priority Commander Peary’s announcement of reaching the pole appears to be ac- cepted throughout the United States and the world at large by scientists as well as the general public and there is an absence of the doubt and skepticism which greeted the Cook announcement. There is, however, ap- parent reserve of judgment on the question of priority between the two explorers. TO ARCTIC CLUB OFFICIAL Commander Peary Sends Brief Message. New York, Sept. .—A second mes- sage from Commander Peary was re- celved by Albert L. Bridgman, secre- tary of the Peary Arctic club. In this message Commander Peary requested Mr. Bridgman to notify the Geograph- ical societies throughout the world that the Peary Arctic club expedition had reached the North pole. The message was dated at Indlan Harbor, Labrador. Captain R. A. Bartlett of the Roose- velt telegraphed to a friend in this elty from Indian Harbor as follows: “It is accomplished. Kind regards to all.” General Thomas Hubbard, president of the Peary Arctic club, recelved the following message from Commander Peary, dated Indian Harbor, Labrador: “Thanks to your assistance the 300 years’ search of North pole is ended. Pole occupied by club’s expedition April 8. Roosevelt returns uninjured.” FIRST TO REACH. THE POLE 8t. Johns Dispatch Says Peary Claims That Honor. London, Sept. .—The Reuter Tele- gram company publishes a dispatch from St. Johns, N. F., in which it is sald that Commander Peary claims that he was the first man to reach the North pole. This claim has given a new fillip to the polar controversy and the after- noon papers display the dispatch from St. Johns prominently and under head- lines that plainly indicate a revival of the doubts of the genuineness of Dr. Coolt’s reported success. These doubts had almost disappeared when Peary came upon the scene on the coast of Labrador and the commander’s cate- gorical statement has given another dramatic turn to the North pole con- troversy. PRINCESS IN HER OWN RIGHT Emperor of Austria Honors Miss Anita Stewart. Vienna, Sept. .—The emperor has created Miss Anita Stewart of New York a princess in her own right, thus removing any difficulty of eti- quette which might have been raised at the exclusive Austrian court follow- ing her marriage to Prince Miguel of Braganza on Sept. 15 at Tullock cas- tle, in Dingwall, Scotland. Prince Miguel has just been here to visit the emperor and to thank him for the honor conferred on his bride to be. He has now returned to Scot- land with nearly forty guests, chiefly members of his own and the Austrian imyerial familv. MOORS ARE BEATEN BACK Force of Fifteen Hundred Make At- tack on Spaniards. Melilla, Morocco, Sept. $.—Fifteen hundred Moors suffered a severe re- verse in an attack on the column of General Aguelera, who was marching to Sokelarb when attacked. The losses of the Moors were unus- vally heavy. They were pursued back to their camp and a large part of the camp was destroyed. A decisive battle is expected within Another the next few days, as the Moors are anuiong to strike a blow before the BITIVAL O The 11,000 reinrorcements that are preparing to leave Spain un- der the command of General Fernando Alvarez de Somayer. BOY'S HEAD IS BLOWN OFF Fatality Follows Use of Gun as a Plaything. Bagley, Minn.,, Sept. /—Playfully daring his fourteen-year-old sister to shoot when she pointed a gun at him cost Elling Gulbranson, aged eight, residing near-here, his life.

Petersburg, Sept. i—Emperor Nicholas and the members of the im- perial family have left St. Petersburg for the Crimea. The celebration at Moscow and other cities on the way bave been abandoned on account of the empress’ weakness and nervous- ness.

Religlous services will be held in the Memorial church at Berki, FIGHT FOR MARIAN BLEAKLEY ENDED Habeas' Gorpus Proceedings of Kansas City Withdrawn.
