Entered In the Postofflce at Bemid)l, Minnesots, as sscond SUBSGRIPTION---85.00 PER YEAR IN ADVANCE JURY “LEAKS” WILL BE DANGEROUS. Alleged “leaks” from jury rooms where juries are deliberating in order to reach a verdict are becom- ing altogether too common in Be- midji, if the words of some people, who claim to know what juries are doing when they are “out” trying to agree on a verdict, is to be believed. The Pioneer had occasion to com- ment, quite pointedly, on thismatter at the last term of the district court, when it was stated positively that indictments had been returned against certain county officials, despite the fact that no true bills were of record in the office of the clerk of court. Yesterday, while the Shina jury was deliberating in order to reach a verdict, certain Bemidji people were declaring on the streets of the city that they knew exactly how the jury stood, etc. The attention of Judee Wright was called to this matter and he said, very emphatically: “I will certainly punish to the limit any person found guilty of giving information concerning the acts of jurors, while they are per- forming their official labors. “I am told that something of this kind has occurred in Bemidji in the past; and I assure you I shall not hesitate to act promptly and vigor- ously in this matter, if I become satisfied that some of these rumors are true.” CAUSTIC COMMENT. LA. G. Rutledge.] Hard words ‘eldom make an im- pression on soft people. All the Chinese in this country are said to have saved much money. Hear it chink. Many a man boasts of his good deeds while awaiting an opportunity to do a bad one. There is no effect without cause — except when a changes her mind. woman One husband may be enough for a woman, but one engagement is seldom enough for a girl. Don’t pay any attention to the disagreeable things people say about you—if they are not true. The old-fashioned barn dance has been denounced by a convention of dancing masters. It is easy enough to understand why. The barn dance dosen’t have to be learned; it is born in a fellow and comes out naturally when he feels good. STEAMER RODSEVELT REACHES NEW YORK Peary’s Vessel to Participate In Hudson-Fulton Gelebration. New York, Oct. .\—WIith the flag of the Peary Arctic club at her mast- head the little steamer Roosevelt, which bore Commander Peary on his quest of the North pole, ‘entered New York harbor. It was barely daylight ‘when the lookouts discerned the ves- sel off Sandy Hook, coming slowly. Few of the vessels in the lower bay recognized the Arctic steamer as she rounded the Hook. Off the point of the Hook the Roosevelt gave three. triumphant screams of her siren and ran up the Peary Arctic flag at her masthead, THE ROOSEVELT. then the flag of the New York Yacht club at her fore and the American en- sign at her mizzen. Turning the point of the Hook the Roosevelt headed into the Horseshoe and anchored within half a mile of the government dock. Commander Peary's ship arrives in the nick of time to participate in the ! closing ceremonies of the Hudson-, Fulton celebration. “There is no doubt,” said Captain Bartlett of the Roosevelt, “that the Btars snd Stripes have been ‘nailed to the North pole’ and no doubt that Mr. Peary was there. Peary got there because he was the only man that the Eskimos will follow out of sight of land.” a; Spends Day Seeing Sights at Seattle’s Big Fair. VIEWS SINGULAR PARADE Those in Line Included Soldiers, Ma- rines, School Children, Igorretes, In- dians, Eskimos and Japanese—Ad- dresses Twenty-five Thousand Peo- ple in Great Natural Amphitheater on Shore of Lake Washington. Seattle, Wash., Oct. .—President Taft, looking the picture of health after a long rest, spent the day at the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific exposition—the purpose of his trip across the con- tinent. The storm which had prevailed for two days was retreating and the sky was partly overcast, hidlng the snow capped mountains. The attendance at the exposition was very large and every one saw the president, although there was not a public reception. The president and his party, in their automobile ride to the fair, were preceded by a troop of mounted po- lice, who will accompany the presi- dent in all his rides about the city. The president and his party, in- cluding Secretary Ballinger, John Hays Hammond and Governor Hay, left the Hotel Washington at 9:15 o'clock in automoblles and on the steps of the exposition auditorium were received by the official reception committee. From this point the pres- ident and his escort reviewed a pa- rade of soldiers, marines, school chil- dren, Igorrotes, Indlans, Eskimos and Japanese in costume. After the parade Mr. Taft and his hosts went through the United States, Philippine, Hawailan and Alaskan buildings. While the president and party were in the buildings other per- sons were excluded. The president ate luncheon infor- mally with sixty persons in the New York building, the meal occupying an hour. During this hour the great nat- ural amphitheater on the shore of Lake Washington had been filling with people and when the president took a seat upon the platform he looked out upon 25,000 persons. The exercises at the amphitheater had been cut to the briefest possible time, but the president was asked to speak as long as he chose. NAMES PRIVATE SECRETARY Appointment Made by New Governor of Minnesota. St. Paul, Oct. |—Ralph W. ‘Wheelock of Minneapolis will succeed Frank A. Day of Fairmont as private secretary to Governor Eberhart. The appointment has been announced by the new executive. In addition to taking on the official duties of private secretary to.Gov- ernor Bberhart the appointment means that Mr. Wheelock will be- come sponsor and caretaker of Gov- ernor Hberhart's desire to succeed himself and may succeed to the chair- manskip of the Republican state cen- tral committee. In doing so he would only follow in the footsteps of Frank A. Day, who is at the head of the op- posite party. Mr. Wheelock came to Minneapolis from South Dakota, where he con- ducted a newspaper in the early boom days of that state. He has worked on Twin City papers for the ast ten years and has been more or ess identified with Minneapolis poli- ties. FINNS REJECT THE PROPOSAL Refuse to Contribute $4,000,000 An- nually to Russis. St. Petersburg, Oct. \—Another dissolution of the Finnish senate is imminent as a result of the conflict with Russia over the amount of Fin- land’s contribution to the defense of the empire. The Finns proposed to contribute $2,000,000 annually for this purpose, but the Russian cabinet Insists that the senate assign $4,000,000 as more proportionate to Finland’s population and resources. The senators, after a conference of party leaders, notified the governor general of Finland that ! they would not accept the reappor- tlonment and that only the judicial department of the semate would re- main in office.

BUSINESS MEN TURNED DOWN Omaha Street Car Company Refuses to Arbitrate. Omaha, Oct. .—All efforts to bring about by arbitration a settle- ment of the street car employes’ strike have thus far been ineffective. Fifty business men of the city called upon President Wattles of the street railway company and urged him to agree to some plan of arbitration, rep- resenting to him that the present sit- uation is_injuring business. Nothing PRESIDENT TAFT | AT EXPOSITION resulted from the conference. A statement by the management of the Ak-Sar-Ben festival shows that the attendance was 45 per cent less than on the opening day a year ago. This is regarded as wholly due to the street car strike. SCHLEY FEARS BREAKDOWN Admiral Cancels All Engagements for Entertainments. New York, Oct. .—Prompted by experience Rear Admiral Winfield S. Schley, retired, has cancelled all en- gagements for entertainments here and will immediately seek seclusion in Washington. Admiral Schley, whose health is not good, has attend- ed. various dinners and other func ADMIRAL SCHLEY. tions in connection with the Hudson- Fulton celebration and incident to the North pole controversy, in which he has taken a prominent part, and it has had a bad effect on him, he says. Fearing a breakdown the admiral has cancelled all acceptances and has made arrangements to return home. SHORTS SQUEEZED IN SEPTEMBER WHEAT Price Advances Fourteen Cents on Final Deals. Chicago, Oct. . — September wheat, which, aside from occasional nervousness, seemed to be dying a natural, quiet death, jumped suddenly into senfational prominence during the last balf hour of business on the board of trade, advancing by leaps and bounds 14 cents, to $1.20. It was a neat and unexpected squeeze of shorts that occasioned the startling finals. Trade in the Sep- tember option was rather brisk during the forenoon and there were evidences of nervousness among shorts. This Interest was waiting until the last moment looking for a break. They walted in vain. A small pool was holding the scant supply deliv- erable on September contracts and its grip began to hurt about thirty min- utes before the close. One prominent firm, short 250,000 bushels, raised its bid 1 cent. No wheat. Two cents— 3 cents, 5 cents—but still none of the needed cereal. The skyrocketing had begun and before it stopped and the wheat began to come out $1.19 had been bid. Some came out. at $1.20 from George Patten, a brother of James A. Patten, leader of the recent blg May wheat deal and still more recently a big figure in the New York ocotton market. Shorts are estimated to have bought between 750,000 and 1,000,000 bushels at the inflated prices. No one inter- est was hard hit with the exception of the firm alluded to, which was com- pelled to cover 250,000 bushels. Tragedy Attributed to Insanity. Glasgow, Ky., Oct. .—Morris Wil- coxsen, whe shot and killed John W. Montgomery Republican candidate for the legislat re, maintains an air of silence in j-il here. The familics of ‘both men attribute the tragedy to in- sanity. The men were lifelong nelgh- bors. SERIOUS FLOODS IN MAINE Cause Heavy Damage to Property in That 8tate. Portland, Me., Oct. .—One of the worst floods in the history of North- ern and Eastern Maine and Western New Brunswick, resulting from the heavy rainfall of the past few days, has already caused great damage In Aroostook, Penobscot, Piscataquis, Somerset and Washington counties in this state. At many points the swollen rivers | continue to rise and cause further de- | struction. Washouts on railroad Mnes have interfered greatly with traffic and in some sections trains are at a standstill and a number of cities and towns are cut off from rail com- munication One death has been re- ! ported due to the flood, that of! Charles F. Keefe, a Bangor and Aroos- | took railroad engineer, who was caught under his engine when his train was derailed by a washout near West Sebois. Most of the freshet damage thus far has been along the smaller streams. The loss already caused by the carry- ing away of logs will reach thousands of dollars.

The motive for the Murderer crime was robbery. FINDS NOTHING T0 CRITICISE Dickinson’s Reply to Com- plaint Against Grant. ACTED AS AN INDIVIDUAL Secretary of War Says Army Officer Did Not Represent Any Department of the Government When He Led Temperance Parade at Chicago. Had Richt to Do as He Pleased In the Matter, Washington, Oct. l.—Secretary of War Dickinson finds nothing to criti- cise in the action of General Grant in taking part in a temperance and law enforcement parade in Chicago, not- withstanding that General Grant was in uniform as a major general of the United States army. As to such move ments each soldier and officer has a right to determine for himself, Secre- tary Dickinson says. Secretary Dickinson, in replying to a letter from W. R. Michaelis of Chi- cago criticising General Grant’s right to appear in uniform at the head of a so called temperance parade in that city last Saturday, says: I have your letter of Sept. 28, 1909, in which you state that on Saturday last Major General F. D. Grant, in uniform, marched at the head of a prohibition parade in the city of Chi- cago. ) “I do not knmow the facts, but I have seen it stated that it was not a prohibition parade, but a temperance and law enforcement parade. You state that it has been rumored that the federal government and the army in general have taken sides with the prohibition movement. If the fed- eral government has in any. way taken part in any such movement I do not know it. What individual members of the army may feel about such movements I do not know. Bach sol- dier and officer of the army has a right to determine that for himself. I do know, however, and state that the army, as an organization, has taken no side and will have no right to take sides, either for or against the prohibiticn movement. “General Grant participated in the parade as an individval and not in any way representing the army or the war department.” BANDITS SECURE $10,000 Hold Up National Bank at Glenwood Springs, Coio. Glenwood Springs, Colo.,, Oct.” . — A posse is pursuing the bandits who robbed the Citizens’ National bank here. The robbers escaped to the val- ley westward with $10,000 in cash. Three unmasked, but heavily armed, men rode boldly up to the rear of the bank, leisurely dismounted and tied their horses. Being unmasked they aroused no suspicions. They then went to the front en- trance and two entered and’ held up Assistant Cashier E. E. Drach, who was behind the cashier’s window. One of the bandits cocked his gun and told him to “hurry or be shot.” Drach gave the men all the money in sight, which the men put in sacks and then left the bank. FAILED BANK MAY REOPEN Number of Conferences Held With That End in View. - Oklahoma City, Okla., Oct. .—A number of conferences were held here looking toward the cpening of the Columbia Bank and Trust-company, now in the hands of the state banking commissioner.

Less than 100 persons were at the bank doors to withdraw deposits. The individual depositors are being looked after to the exclusion of other debtors.
