Morse Must Go to Jail. New York, Oct. 11.— 3 p. m.— (Special to Pioneer)—The United States Circuit Court of Appeals to- day affirmed the decision of the lower federal court sentencing Charles W. Morse, former banker and steamship capitalist, to fifteen years imprisonment in the federal prison at Atlanta, Ga. Co. K and Grand Rapids: May yet Come- Together. There has been some disagreeable comment from Grand Rapids, printed in a Duluth paper, relative to the Co. K football eleven of this city being “afraid” to meet the City team of Grand Rapids, etc., which is not calculated to heal the breach between the two teams, and which is really an untruthful statement of the transactions of the managers of the two teams. There are many good fellows in both towns who do not by any means approve of the “bad blood” that is being engendered between the football teams, but who would like to see a game played on really neutral grounds with some person officiaiting who thoroughly under- stands the game and who is known to be fair, and who hails from some neutral point. The local players express confi- dence that they can defeat Grand Rapids, and state they are willing to play anywhere outside of Itasca or Beltrami counties; that the manager of the Grand Rapids team had prac- tically agreed to play, but will answer neither letters or telegrams, but prefers to air his grievances on paper. s Get together, fellows, Play at Cass Lake or Walker, and Bemidji will get up an excursion and take a [ crowd to the game and help swell i the receipts; but it is certain that but few would go to Deer River, an acknowledged champion of the "Rapids."_ The game which was ‘scheduled for last Saturday with Park Rapids fell through; but it is hoped to have Brainerd here next Sunday.

E. church will receive bids for the erection of a new church building. _ Contractors desiring to figure on the building will find plans and speci- fications on file at the office of Dr. E. A.
