SUBSCRIPTION---$5.00 PER YEAR IN ADVANCE THE PIONEER LEADS, FOR NEWS. The Bemidji Daily Pioneer “scooped” all daily papers in the state, last Saturday, in the matter of printing the score of the football game on Northrup field, Minneapo- lis. ‘The Pioneer gave the score of the first half of the game, and would certainly have had the final score, had it not been for the fact that the United States was visited Saturday by one of the strangest electrical phenomenas ever known, whereby the telegraph and telephone service was crippled, and it was impossible to get messages through after 4 o’clock until 7 in the evening. No other daily in the state printed any account of the game until extra editions were issued, in the evening’ after supper. The Pioneer prints the news when it is news, and authentically. THEREARE OTHERS BESIDES GOVERNOR EBERHART. I J. Courtright, of the Staples Headlight, sees the hand of the supernatural in the taking away of the late Governor Johnson and the installing of Lieutenant Governor Eberhart as governor, and thinks it is fitting and well; and asserts with much gravity that the people will re-elect the Mankato man to office of governor, a year hence. Says the Headlight: “Now that Lieut.-Gov. Eberhart has become the chief executive of this state by reason of the death of Governor Johnson, the papers which have been poking fun at his college record for deportment will have reason to feel thankful that a man of his excellent character has been called to this high station. “As governor of the great common- wealth of Minnesota Governor Eber- hart will duplicate his college record and score 100 in the transaction of all official business pertaining to his high office. ““His elevation tothe office through the decree of fate means that all controversy as to who will be the next Republican nominee for gov- ernor has been elminated. “He will not only enjoy the honorand distinction of being our chief executive for the unexpired por- tion of Governor Johnson’s term, but the chance of fortune will be ratified by the people at the next general election. “His death alone might intervene to prevent, but political manipulation cannot alter the edict of fate.” Along this same line, the follow- ing, taken from the Minneapolis Tri- bune, is interesting: “Gov. Adolph O. Eberhart has entered upon his administration in succession to Governor Johnson. “Following his accession to power, politics has commenced to raise its voice, and the general impression is that the Repubiican leaders have decided to accept Eberhart and place him in nomination, There has been conferences of Republican leaders—they have canvassed the situation and apparently believe that good politics, if nothing else, de- mands the nomination of the gover- nor to succeed himself. *“Most of the men who have been mentioned for the governorship seem to entertain the same npinion. “William E. Lee of Todd county, who had practically announced his candidacy, is quoted as having said in the lobby of the Merchants’ hotel that it was all over and that he would not enter the race. “Ripley Brower has not been heard from and the only man who is ap- parently unwilling to accept the situation is Robert C. Dunn of Princeton, “Mr. Dunn is in St. Paul and the fighting statesman from Princeton is giving it out that he may enter the race. “Whether he will continue to en- tertain this opinion probably de- pends upon the events of the next two weeks.” Indicted for Conspiraocy. Chicago, Sept. 2 (—Indictments charging conspiracy were returned by the grand jury against John J. Hol- land, secretary of the jury commis- sloners; Willis J. Rayburn, a real es- tate dealer, and Nicholas Martin, sec- retary to Alderman “Hinkey Dink" Kenna. EXAMINES PEARY'S RECORDS President of Arctic Club Goes. Over Explorer's Data. Bar Harbor, Me., Sept. 3/—Genera¥ Thomas H. Hubbard, president of the Peary Arctic club, has examined the data and observations of Commander Robert B. Peary’s dash to the pole. General Hubbard also looked into the Information which Commander Peary has obtained on the question, “Has Cook been at the pole?” The examination is preliminary to a conference here Monday or Tuesday, when Commander Peary probably will submit further records and supply any needful information not contained in the rough draft of his preliminary re- ports. The course likely to be pursued by Commander Peary is to proceed with the development of his own sclentific data and its submission to the neces- sary scientific bodies to prove his finding of the pole without regard to any question of whether Dr. Cook has been to the pole. DAMS BREAK AND ~GITY IS FLOODED Loss at Fergus Falls, Minn, Estimated at $200,000. Fergus Falls, Minn., Sept. 2°.—Two hundred thousand dollars in property loss was caused here by the breaking of several power dams and two men narrowly escaped death. The first dam to go out put the wa- ter works and electric light system out of business. These plants had been completed only last fall, the dam and machinery at the electric light plant costing $600,000. It is a com- plete loss. The two men at work in the electric light station rushed up the bank and had just reached a point of safety when the huge dam was lifted bodily from its foundations and tipped over, together with the power house and all of the electrical ma- chinery. Following the breaking of this dam the water came down with a roar, tak- ing the Kirk dam, owned by private parties, and spreading out over the lowlands. Debris lodged against the pile bridge on Mount Faith avenue and the structure was soon swept away. In the heart of the city a few small buildings were washed away. Base- ments were flooded in some parts of the business district and loss in goods will amount to thousands of dollars. The flood also washed out part of the Wright dam, which furnished power to two large flour mills and an elec- trical power plant, which supplies power for a number of factories and other industries. CORBIN BURIED IN ARLINGTON Body Rests Beside Those of Lawton and Wirt. ‘Washington, Sept. 2 .—Almost side by side with the bodies of Generals Lawton and Wirt the body of the late Lieutenant General Henry C. Corbin ‘was buried in Arlington national cemw- etery in the presence of members of THE LATE GENERAL CORBIN. General Corbin’s family and his close personal friends. The body has reposed in the receiv- ing vault of the cemetery since Sept. 10. The religious services at the grave, brief but impressive, were con- ducted by Rev. W. W. Brander, chap- lain of the Fifteenth cavalry, Fort Myer, Va. WRECKED AUTO TAKES FIRE One Passenger Killed; Another Burns to Death., Americus, Ga., Sept. 25.—One per Bson was burned to death, another in- stantly killed and a third seriously burned in an automobile wreck. The machine driven by John McLendon ran off an eight-foot embankment. McLendon and Miss Viola Herman were pinioned beneath the wrecked car, which caught fire. Ethel Hilt, another member of the party, although geverely burned, ran screaming to this city, two miles distant, and gave the alarm. Miss Herman's neck was broken by the fall. McLendon was literally roasted alive. E Bags Two More Elephants. Nairobi, B. E.

New York, Sept. 25.—Dispatches to Dun’s Trade Review indicate some in- terruption to business at the South because of the severe storm, but re- ports from all other sections of the country are uniformly favorable. DEATH LIST BY STORM:GROWS May Reach Hundred and Fifty When Complete. STRANGE STORIES TOLD Four-Year-Old Child Found Lodged In Branches of Tree After Having Sur- vived Three Days Without Food or Water—Family Rescued From Small Boat in Which a Baby Had Just Been Born. New Orleans, Sept. 2 .—Belated re- ports of death and destruction from the recent hurricane in Louisiana and Mississippi show further loss of life and property. The list of dead is now more than 100. With little hope that & number of others reported missing have escaped the total dead may reach 150. The news of fifteen additional deaths along the waterways between Morgan City, La., and the gulf and on the adjacent coast have been received. Nearly all of these were fishermen caught in small craft by the storm. Stories brought here by persons ar- riving from the stricken districts re- veal many pathetic and unusual oc- currences. A fouryear-old child was found lodged in the branches of a tree on the lower coast of Terre Bonne parish after having survived for three days without food or water. Two other children about the same age were found on a mound in the middle of the prairie between Terre Bonne bayou and Little Caillou. No other signs of human life were in evi- dence in the vicinity. One of the striking incidents of the relief work along the coast was the rescue of a family in a small boat in which a baby had been born but an hour before the relief steamer arrived. LAST HUSBAND HER ACCUSER Missourl Woman Alleged to Be Many Times a Bigamist. Kansas City, Sept. 2 .—Mrs. Fred- erick Chapman of this city, who was arrested charged with bigamy, is said to have married six men, all of whom she deserted except her latest hus- band, her accuser. Finding marriage certificates in his wife’s trunk Chap- man, who believed he had married an unsophisticated country gir], investi- gated further and discovered what he considered evidence that Mrs. Chap- man had not been divorced from her last husband. Chapman confronted his wife with the certificates and she confessed to previous alliances. He then preferred a charge of bigamy against her and she was arrested. She is held for trial in the criminal court. MARS MUCH NEARER EARTH Closer Than Usual by Fifteen Million Miles. ‘Washington, Sept. 2 .—Nearer to the earth by 15,000,000 miles than it has been for fifteen years the planet Mors is the object of immense inter- est to the astronomers throughout the world, particularly at the United States naval observatory here. The average distance of Mars from the earth is 50,000,000 miles. The dis- tance from the earth now is only 35, 000,000 miles. With this proximity interest in the planet, which is always keen, becomes, even among those who cannot claim to be students of as- tronomy, all the keener, on account of the probability that new discoveries concerning matters Martian will be made. MAKES SENSATIONAL CATCH Member of Baseball Team Saves Life . of Child. Bethlehem, Pa., Sept. 2 .—Through his ability as an athlete Willlam Neff, & member of the Slatington baseball team, .saved the life of little James Marshall.

Neff, who was at the bot- tom of the bank, saw the fall and, sprinting under the tumbling 1lad, caught him in his arms in time to save the child from death on the Jagged rocks. NO GREAT DAMAGE IS DONE Omaha Street Cars the Object of “Sniping” Attacks. Omaha, Sept. 2 .—Strike sympathiz- ers took advantage of the dense fog and made “sniping” attacks on the street cars. Stones and other missiles were thrown, but no great damage was done. Sheriff Brailey announced that he would not call upon the state militia for help in maintaining order, but would double his force of depu- tles. Lawson’s Niece Elopes. Boston, Sept. 2 .—Miss Gertrude C. Lawson, niece of Thomas W. Lawson, ran away in an automobile with Wal- ter L.

Viroqua, Wis.,, Sept. 2i,—The dead body of O. C. Christoferson, a wealthy farmer, was found on the road a half mile from this city and the authorities are at a loss to account for his death. His head was terribly mutllated, but It is not certain whether this was dus to blows from a heavy weapon or ‘whether he was run over by his own wagon. Christoferson’s team arrived home later with no indications of a runaway. The ofiicers are Tnvestigat- ing on the theory that a murder was committed. The dead man’s jewelry and a con- siderable sum of money were found on his body. LEON LING IS RESPONSIBLE Verdlct of Coroner's Jury In Elsle Sigel Murder. New York, Bept. 2%.—Hlsle Sigel, the young missionary to Chinese of this city, was strangled to death by Leon Ling, according to the verdiot of the coroner’s jury. - When the police of the world began hunting for the murderer of the girl on June 10 the formal announcement of the cause of her death had been delayed by the chemists’ examination of the body. Thelr report that the stomach con- tained a quantity of ergot did not alter the jury’s verdict. SPEND THEIR TIME IN SONG AND PRAYER Triune [mmersfonists Awalting the End of _the World, ‘West Duxbury, Mass., Sept. 2)—In- spired by a conviction that the end of the world was at hand the 300 and more members of the Latter Relgn of the Apostolic church, or Triune Im- merslonists, as they prefer to be called, assembled early about their place of worship. There the devotees awalted the destruction and purifica- tlon of the world by fire, in fulfillment of their own prophesy. As the appointed time drew near the believers filled the chapel and de- voted their energies to the singing of hymns. Shortly before 10 o’clock the skies darkened and those who had been watching for a sign appeared convinced that the millenium was at hand. One hymn followed another as the believers waited for the final purl- fication. Ten o'clock came, but the sky brightened and the millenfum, in the opinion of the believers, was ap- parently postponed for a brief period. It was then explained that a revela- tion which was made to one of their number indicated that the destruction was to be deferred for & few hours. The faithful still continued confident that their prophecies would be ful- filled and they spent the remainder of the forenoon praying and singing hymns. There was very little com- ment when the hour designated for the finality of earthly things passed. NO BOMB AT CIUDAD JUAREZ Report of Finding of Explosive on Taft’s Itinerary Untrue. ‘Washington, Sept. 2 .—Official de- nial has been given to the published Teport of the finding of bombs at Clu- dad Juarez, near the meeting place i of President Taft and President Diaz.

I have nothing further to say.” PICKS HARMON OR MARSHALL Democratic Publicity Manager Makes Prediction. Quincy, TI1, Sept. 2 i—Willis J.

The Mistake is Made by Many Bemidji Citizens. Don’t mistake the cause of back- ache. To be cured you must know the cause. Itis wrong to imagine relief is cure, Backache is kidney ache. You must cure the kidneys. A Bemidji resident tells you how this can be done. Clyde Johhson, living at 1014 Be- midji, Ave., Bemidji, Minn., says: “For some time I endured a great deal of suffering from kidney com- plaint. There was a pain in my back and during the early part of the day I felt lanquid and tired. I decided to try a reliable kidney remedy, went to the Owl Drug Store, and procured a box of Doan’s Kidney Pills. I used them accord- ing to directions, when the pains disappeared and the tired, lanquid feeling vanished. I know Doan’s Kidney Pills to be a reliable remedy and can recommend them to anyone sufiering from kidney complaint.” For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents.
