S00 RAILWAY RIGHT-OF-WAY FROM CITY Judge Spooner, Attorney for Of South Twenty Feet of “lel Road,” Giving Entrance to City. Judge M. A. Spooner of this city, attorney for the Soo Railway, has filed with - City Clerk ,Maloy the official acceptance by the Soo com- pany of that portion of the right-of- way desired through the city of Be- midji which is known as the “mill Road,” being the south twenty feet of the public highway extending from the M. & I. bridge eastward to the limits of the village of Nymore. The vacating of the road gives the Soo a fine entrance intoBemidji and gives the lie to early predictions by some few malcontents that the Soo could not enter the city. The official acceptance of the vacated portion of the “Mill Road,”” asfiled by Judge Spooner,is as follows: “To the Mayor and City Council of Bemidji, Beltrami County, Minne- sota. . “The Minneapolis, St. Paul & Sault Ste. Marie Railway Company hereby accepts the provisions of a Resolution passed and adopted by the City Council of the City of Be- midji, Minnesota, at a regular meet- ing thereof held on the 20th day of September 1909, as follows, to-wit: ‘“*Be It Resolved by theCity Coun- cil of the City of Bemidji, Minne- sota: “““That permission and authority are hereby granted to the Minneapo- lis, St. Paul & Sault Ste.

ACCEPT Soo, Files Offical Acceptance railway along and upon the South Twenty (20) feet of that portion of the street and highway, running from the south terminus of Bemidji Avenue in said city of Bemidji to the Village of Nymore and otherwise known as the Mill Road, which said portion is ‘bounded on the Westerly end by the Mississipp1 River and on the easterly end by the Minnesota and International Railway Com- pany’s right of way, which permission and authority are given subject to the provisions of Section Thirteen (13) of Chapter Eight (8,) of the City Charter of the said City of Be- midji, and upon the further condition that the said Minneapolis, St. Paul & Sault Ste. Marie Railway Com- pany shall file in the office of the City Clerk of said City its written acceptance of the rights so conferred within thirty (30) days after the Tonight Last Night for Yankee Doodle Stock Co. “The Queen of the White Slaves,” judging by the manner in which it was teceived by the large audience which saw the Yankee Doodle Play- ers producé it at the City Opera House last night, was one of the biggest comedy drama successes seen here in repertoire in a long time. Tonight, “Wormwood,” from the novel of the same name by the master feminine mind of literature, Marie Correlli, will hold the boards and teach a lesson in morals and temperance that will rival in gffect- iveness and truth the most power- ful sermons of the pulpit. “Wormwood deals with the soul- destroying effects of absinthe on the human being in a manner that leaves an impression on the memory never to be forgotten, being a keen psychological study of an honored and respected son of a noble Parisian family, who, disappointed ‘in love, turns to the Bohemianismanabandon of the Latin quarters for solace and there for the first time tastes of the green curse of France, absinthe, which brings to him, first, forgetful- adoption of this resolution.” “And the said Railway Company hereby consents to the terms and conditions of said resolution and agrees to perform all acts and things required and agreed to be done by said Railway Company pursuant to the provisions thereof.~ “Dated at Minneapolis, Minne- sota, this 2nd day of October, A.

BODY OF J. W. SPEELMAN BURIED AT GREENWOOD Obsequies, Conducted Yesterday After- noon, by Rev. S. E. P. White, Were Largely Attended. All that was mortal of the late J. W. Speelman was, laid to rest in Greenwood cemetery yesterday after- noon, the funeral obsequies and burial being attended by a large number of the relatives and friends of the family. Prior to the interment, services were held at the Presbyterian church, Rev. S. E. P. White officiating. The deceased had always been a promi- nent member of the Order of Odd Fellows, and the members of the local Odd Fellow and Rebekah lodges attended in a body to pay their last respects to the memory of one who in life they had known so well; and the church was filled with persons who had been acquainted with the departed. Rev. S. E. P. White chose for the text of his few words a selection from the Book of Job: “I Know that My Redeemer Liveth.” Rev. White spoke words of comfort to the bereaved widow and other members of the family, and alluded touchingly to the life of the deceased and his hope of eternal peace. A choir sang, very beautifully, the grand hymn, “Nearer, My God, to Thee.” Both the text and the hymn were favor- ites with the deceased, and he had expressed a desire, prior to death, that they should be used at the obsequies. The floral offerings were very beautiful, those given by the Odd Fellow and Rebekah lodges being symbolic of those orders. The pall- bearers were chosen from among the members of the local lodge-of Odd Fellows, and were as follows: L. F. Johnson, George Smith, E. H. Corn- wall, John McElroy, A. H. Huntosh and Ernest Burgeoise. J. W. Speelman was 60 years, 4 months and 22 days old, and was born at Petersburg, Penn. He came to Beltrami county some twelve or fifteen years ago and settled at Buena Vista, the dividing line of the watershed of the American con- tinent, which place Mr. Speelman always alluded to as the “Top of the World.” He kept a fine hotel at Buena Vista, and was an exceedingly attentive and genial host to the many tourists who have visited that summer resort, When he was taken ill a year ago, it was not known what his ailment was, and nho definite disgnosis was ever determin‘ed’upon. He simply sank away and death was peaceful. It is sad indeed at any time to stand by the bedside of the dying and watch life’s ebbing tide drifting the loved one slowly, perhaps, but surely into the great ocean of eternity, but when there comes whispering from parched lips “Though I walk through the vallay of the shadow of death,I will fear no evil, for Thou art withme; Thy rod and Thy staff they comfort me,” it brings a balm to the wounded heart. As we stood beside his grave yes- terday, when the sky was trimmed with her rosy hue, in fancy- we could see him—not in death’s cold shroud of sorrow and despair, but smiling at us from the sunset halo that marks God’s farewell to the day— smiling with all the well-remembered grace of his manhood, love and de- votion, and saying to us: “The sunset speaks but feebly of the glories of “Another day. All is well.” Football Practice Tonight, at Armory. The members of Co. K football team are requested to meet at the Armory this evening, 7:30, to prac- tice for the game at Grand Forks next Sunday. There will be practice every evening, at the same place. —7John Hillaby, Mgr. Food Sale. The Episcopal Guild will hold a food sale at Cormontan & Hanson’s drug store Saturday afternoon at 2 o’clock.

Try our No. 51 coffee and our ness and drunken happiness, and then gradually turns what had once been a pure and noble affection for his faithless fiance into the uncredi- ble and inhuman hate that prompts the terrible revenge which makes the theme of “Wormwood” at once so powerful and so compelling. .No tumults of applause will be heard at the performance of “Worm- wood,” because it is unnatural to rejoice in the downfall and degrada- tion of a man, but its auditors will carry with them from the theater the mental record of one of the most thrilling and interesting stage stories ever told. Committed Suicide (?) Spooner, October 20.—(Special to Pioneer.)—Ti:e body of . Carl Emil Anderson, a homesteader, was found Sunday afternoon a short distance from the Rapids, two miles up the Baudette river, by two homesteaders. The body was brought to Baudette notified.

BEMIDJI ELKS PREPARE FOR A SOCIAL SESSION There Will Be Vaudeville, ‘‘Hand Out” Lunch, and the Usual Good Time. Bemidii Lodge, No. 1052 B. P. O. Elks, has prepared a lot of good things -which will be turned loose Thursday night for the special bene- fit of those new members who came into the order of late and who are not just acqudinted with the manner in which a good Elk should “browse.” A committee has prepared the “fatted calf” and other things for a social session; and it is expected that Br'er John G.

Daniel DeLury Weds. Well! Wellll Welll!! Read this from the Walker Pilot, you Bemidji folks who are acquainted with that staid bachelor, with the long, curly hair, the Hon. Daniel DeLury of Walker: “Attorney Daniel DeLury was married this week, Wednesday, at his old home at Manilla, Canada, the bride, Miss Lizzie Allen, being a resident of that place and a child- hogd acquaintance of Dan’s. After a short visit they will come to Walker and commence housekeeping in Mr. DeLury’s com- fortable home on Cleveland avenue. His host of friends here extend hearty congratulations and a cordial welcome to the bride, to their midst.” The sincerest congratulations go out to both Mr. and Mrs. DeLury. To Mrs. DeLury because she has captured one of the very best attor- neys and staunch good fellows in this northern “neck o’ the woods.” And to Mr. DeLury because he had the courage to do it. District Court. The present term of the district court is nearing the adjournment stage, and at noon today, there was every indication that the term might possibly be closed today, with al- most a certainty that tomorrow would see the adjournment. Most of the cases of the past few days have been cases of minor import- ance—many of them never should have gone to the trial stage. Yesterday afternoon the case of w. '1_“ Blakeley vs. George Mc- Taggart was settled by stipulation. ‘This morning, in the case of the Edward Thompson Co. vs. Henry Funkley, judgment was -ordered in favor of the company, the court granting a stay of fifteen days. Judgment of the justice court was affirmed in the case of Latterell vs. Meeley, the defendant not appear- ing. ) The case of Eserel Flouri vs. Zepherin Therault was dismissed without prejudice. Northland Produce Co. vs.; Law Adopted Last Winter Permits chensed Netting of Whitefish, for Personal Use Only, From November 10 to January 10. There has been considerable con- troversy, of late, among local fisher- men as to .whether, at the last session of the legislature, the law relative to the netting of white fish and trelipies had been changed, some stating that a change had been made and that the period was extended a month; others were of the opinion that it was a month earlier, while others were equally sure that the law bad not been changed in any respect. The law was changed, at the last session of the legislature, and the season was extended for one month. The law, prior to last winter, allowed the netting of white fish and trepilis (when nets were officially licensed) from November 10, to December 10. Under the new ruling these varieties of fish can be netted from November 10 to January 10. Another amendment was made regulating the setting of nets. Below the Pioneer gives the law as it now exists relative to the netting of white fish and trelipies (the matter set in black type are the changes which the legislature made in the old ruling): C “Provided further, that in all of the inland lakes in this state per- mission having been granted there- for, but not otherwise, a net may be used for the purpose of taking and catching white fish, trelipies for their own domestic use, from November tenth to January tenth, following. Said net shall not exceed one hun- dred (100) feet in length and three feet in width, and the meshes of said net shall not be less than three and one-half (3%) inches in size of mesh when the same is extended. And no net shall set in such a manner that the floats and cork lines are submerged over twelve inches. “No nets shall set nearer together than fifty feet, and each net must have attached thereto when in use a metal tag to be furnished for that purpose by the game and fish com- ‘mission, “The sale of white fish and treli- pies so caught is hereby prohibited, “Any person desiring to use any such net shall first make application for a permit therefor to the commis- sion, in writing, and shall state that the said net is to be used by them for the purpose of obtaining fish for their domestic use and not for the purpose of sale, which application shall be accompznied.by a fee of one ($1) dollar for each net, but no per- son shall be permitted to use more than two (2) of such nets, and such fish shall not besold or oftered for sale.” open court that judgement be entered as per stipulation to be filed.
