RAINY RIVER BOOMAGE GASES ARE BEING TRIED Noted Suits, Involving Boomage Rights In Rainy River at Baudette ‘‘On” Again. In district court this morning, the first of the boom cases, involving boomage rights on the Rainy river, near Baudette. was taken up, the initial case being that of the Inter- national Boom company et al vs. the Rainy Lake River Boom com- pany. The jury was obtained this fore- noon and a somewhat lengthy argu- ment was indulged in between the counsel for the plaintiff and the attorneys for the defense as to which should take the initiative in the case. These boomage cases are of much importance to the lumbermen and loggers who reside along the Rainy river, as the cases practically involve the boomage 'rights in the Rainy river. The first case involves some $7, 000, and $15,000 is involved in the next two cases. The total sum of about $80,000 is involved in all of the cases. The case has been to the supreme court for the third time and in each instance the defendants have been granted a new trial. A RATIO that is maintained AlL- WAYS in our DEL MARCA cigar—the very maximum of quality for 10c in cigar form. A single purchase will convince you of the facts that the Del Marca brand is made from the choicest of selected leaf by expert and experienced workmen. The Shuulders are perhaps the most promi- nent part of a coat. The ap- pearance and ‘‘set” of the garment depend largely upon the graceful lines, the roomy proportions and the smooth- ness of the shoulders. We make “‘the’” right kind of shoulders—as in everything else concerned with the suit? Have you made your fall selection yet?

DREW A LARGE GROWD The Show Given Last Evening was Greeted by Great Applause, All Through. ‘That the people of Bemidji appre- ciate the efforts put forth by Mana- ger Brinkman to give the people the very best to be had in the entertain- ment line was amply demonstrated last evening when the crowds of theater-goers were present at the Brinkman Family Theater to wel- come Dolliver & Rogers, the old-time favorite soubrette team and also the two other vaudeville acts which Manager Brinkman had secured. Hickerson & Lydston, a new team which is playing “The Cynic and the Girl,” , made one of the biggest hits in the history of the Brinkman. They were applauded from the moment they appeared on the stage until they retired and they deserved all furore they created, The appearance of Dolliver & Rogers was the signal for another out-burst of applause and the clever ladies responded with some splendid singing, clever dancing and a rapid- fire monologue which was greatly enjoyed. Maxine Wells was by far the most talented ventriloquist which ever appeared at the Brinkman. From present indications there willbe a large attendance every night this week as the show is ex- cephonally good. BLACKDUCK Blackduck, Oct. 5.—(Special cor- respondence of the Pioneer.) C. W.

S. Attwood Will Appear at Masonic Hall, This Tuesday Night, Under K. P. Auspices. On this Tuesday evening, at Masonic hall, F. S, Attwood, the tamous blind optomist, lecturer and orator, will deliver his famous lecture on ““Happiness.” The following committee was ap- pointed to take charge of Mr. Attwood and arrange finally for the lecture: Dr. E. H. Smith, Charles Daly and A. G. Rutledge. W. R. Hodges, editor of Sleepy Eye Herald and president of the Minnesota Sate Editorial association, says of Mr. Attwood. “Tobe happy is the desire and ambition of every person. How to look on the bright side ot life in the midst of disappointments inci- dent to human life is a virtue not possessed by alk. The lecture of F. S. Attwood on ‘Happiness,’ touches the heart and mind of everyone who hears him. It is full of good cheer and coming from a man whose physical eyes are forever shut to the light of day, it cannot fail to be help- ful to us on our journey through life. “I havé known Mr. Attwood since September, 1904, as a faithful preacher ‘of the gospel, as a‘lecturer, asa citizen ‘and’ friend. " He is a man of high intellectual attainments; a speaker and orator of power,and a gentleman of high character. His lecture on ‘Happiness’ should be heard in every town and hamlet in the state.” Surprised Their Teacher. Last evening the members of Class No. 9 and The Brotherhood of David, of the Methodist Sunday school, twenty-two in number, took their Sunday school teacher, Mrs. Cunningham, by surprise; and for once she was thouroughly surprised. She invited them in and the merry- making began at once. Miss Olive Cunningham had been let into the secret, and soon the party were invited into the dining room, which was beautifully lighted by candles, although the boys were not sure how many candles they ‘i should have lighted, as Mrs Cun- ningham declared she had forgotten it was her birthday, likewise her age. Tke lunch was bounteous, and was daintily served. Before leaving, one of the boys, in a few well-chosen words, presented Mrs. Cunningham with a set of silyer teaspoons as a token of love and esteem. Mrs. Cunningham thanked her pupils as best she could, considering the complete sutprise. Mrs. Cunningham took this class when it numbered four, and at pres- ent it numbers twenty-five; and the boys expect to make the number forty this winter. Popular People Wedded.
