Deputy Collector Inspects Cigar Factories. . This is the season of the year when the different deputy internal revenue collectors of the state are specting the cigar factories and taking an inventory of stock on hand, etc, and Guy A. Aubol of Crookston, collector for this district, is completing his work in the line, preparatory to making his report to Washington. It is the rule that the inspection and inventory of all cigar factories, began after the first of the new year, shall be completed not later than the 20th of January. There are thirty cigar factories in the fourteen coun- ties composing Mr. Aubol’s district, and he is nearing the end of his labors. He spent yesterday afternoon and last night in Bemidji, leaving this forenoon for Bagley, intendiug to visit Detroit and Frazee after the Bagley inspection. In speaking of the condition of affairs in the various factories of the district, Mr. Aubol states that he found everything in all the factories in fine condition indicating the excellent class of men who are en- gaged in cigar mannfacturing in this part of the state. Mrs. A. R. Erickson’s Father Dies. Mrs. A. R. Erickson lett this after- noon for Crookston, for the purpose of attending the funeral of her father, A. H.

He owned a valuable farm in Becker county, which he sold ten years ago, moving to Crookston and making his home of late with his son, Anton Morberg, where he was'living at the time of his death. The deceased is spoken of as being an exemplary man who had lived a long -and useful life, filled with kind deeds and neighborly acts. His demise is sincerely mourned among his friends and relatives. Br'er Rood Takes Unto Himself a Wife. It is- with genuine pleasure that the editor of the Pioneer learns of the marriage, on Monday last, of Andrew Rood, editor of the Bemidji Sentinel, who took unto himself as his .life partner, Miss Emma J. Forsberg, of this city. We have but meager information as to the wedding, but the ceremony took place at Superior, Wis., and was witnessed by friends of the bride and groom. - In all sincerity, the Pioneer, the editor and all the rest of the Pioneer corps of employes wish Mr. and Mrs. Rood a happy wedded life, free from storm clonds and besetting ills, and may their journey down the stream towards the ‘‘other side” be on a calm ¢‘sea” and minu$ entangling eddies, Congratulations, Br'er Rood. “ 'Nother” Farmers’ Probable. There is a probability that another farmer’s telephone company will be organized to connect with the Be- midji Northwestern Telephone Exchange company in this city, the line to be extended eastward from Bemidji. A number of the farmers of Frohn township met at the Crookston Lumber company’s club rooms this afternoon for the purpose of getting together to ascertain just what can be none in the matter. We under- stand that there are some twenty farmers living adjacent to the pro- posed line and it is possible that these will all sign as subscribers, in which case the building of the line would undoubtedly be assured, extending from the city to the farm of Fred Malzahn, on Wolf lake. Telephone Co. ; Utilizing Sharks’ Teeth. The natives on some of the Pacific Islands, being provided with neither metals nor any stone harder than the coral rocks of which the atolls they inhabit are composed, would seem bad- 1y off, indeed, for material of which to make tools or weapons were it not that their very necessity has bred an invention no less ingenious than curi ous and effective. - This is nothing less than the use of sharks’ teeth to give a cutting edge to their wooden knives and swords. The mouth of the shark contains 800 teeth arranged in five rows, all closely lying upon each ether, except the outer row, and so construct- ed that as one tooth is broken or lost another takes fits place. The teeth are not only pointed and keen edged, but are finely and regularly serrated, 8o that the cutting power:is greatly in- creased. Indeed, so great a faculty have these teeth for wounding that the implements and weapons upon which they are used have to be handled with great care. The Kingmill islanders make many strange articles of sharks’ teeth. the 79¢c 98c 48c The Newest Things In Spring Laces Embroideries Ginghams Percales - Waistings FRIDAY and SATURDAY at the BAZAAR STORE Lot Lot GREAT DAMAGE SEEMS LIKELY Broken Ice Gorge Sweeping Down the Mississippi. RIVER IS RISING RAPIDLY Feared Gigantic Weight Will Crush Every Boat Along the Stream and Play Havoc With Vessels in St Louis Harbor—Ferryboat Madison the First Craft to Meet Disaster as a Result of the Break. St. Louis, Jan. 14.—The ice dam in the Mississippi river at Alton has broken and is being sent down the river by a gigantic weight of water which it is feared will crush every boat along the river and play havoc with the vessels-in the St. Louis har- bor. The river is rising at the rate of a foot an hour. A rise of nine to twelve feet during the day is expected. The ferryboat Madison, which has been plying between Venice and St. Louis for twenty years, was caught by the weight of ice and sunk. Its wharf boat was torn from its moorings and swept down the river. 3 Smaller gorges north of St. Louis, weakened by the rain, were torn loose and swept down on the St. Louis har- bor. They crashed against the piers of the old Eads bridge and the sound warned rivermen, who have been ready for days to fight w0 save their craft when the ice went out. The bridge piers saved the harbor craft from the first weight of ice, but a strong breeze is sending it toward the Missouri shore and it is feared heavy damage will result. Miles of ice above the harbor have been broken up and is coming down with such force it is believed the ice below the harbor will be swept away with it and damage down stream may result. Kansas Bridges Swept Away. Topeka, Kan., Jan. 14.—Bridges across the Kansas river at Willard, Valencia and Lecompton were swept away by ice jams. In the Marias des Cygoes river a gorge formed against a bridge two miles east of Ottawa and extended to that city, bLlocking the channel. The water was rising rapidly and a force of men started out to dynamite the gorge in an at- tempt to prevent a flood. DAMAGE WILL BE IMMENSE Many Miles of Track Washed Out by Recent Floods. Salt Lake, Jan. 14—Adcices from the flooded district of the San Pedro, Los Angeles and Salt Lake route filter in slowly. It is known that ninety- three miles of track are gone and that the road is, in fact, practically washed out in long stretches. All trains, save four locals, have been abandoned. It is announced that there will be no through schedule made before September. It is conservatively estimated that it will cost $14,000,000 to rebuild the line, which must follow a different route and one which detours to Meadow valley. The damage is so stupendous the officials themselves cannot give com- prehensive details. SENT TO INSANE ASYLUM Wealthy Woman Refuses to Buy Food or Clothing. Elgin, IIl, Jan. 14—Mrs. Mary E Cole, widow of James Cole, a former business man of Eilgin, has been placed in the state hospital for the in- sane following her committal to that institution by the insanity board, ‘Although she is said to be worth more than $20,000 she is said to have refused to purchase fuel and food for her own use. Nearly $1,000 in cur rency, it is said, was found secreted in her clothing. SOUNDS FROM TOMB CEASE Miner Who Escaped Death Is Killed by Second Cavein. Norway, Mich., Jan. 14.—The tunnel at Central Vulvan caved in. Four of the miners, Dick Mocklet, Dick Burke, John Sharpless and the latter’s son were aware of the danger and found shelter in a large overhanging rock. They escaped with slight injuries. Al bert Cirula, a Polish miner, was buried alive. The rescuers could hear him at 1 a. m., but there followed more caving in of the rock and Cirula was smothered. Fourteen Hurt in Explosion. Watertown, Wis., Jan. 14 —Fourteen persons were injured, one fatally and five others seriously, in an explosion of gas in a palm garden owned by Henry Messerschmidt of Farmington. Fred Riess was the man fatally hurt, suffering a fracture of the skull. Theo- dore Knaak and Albert Klug each had a leg broken. Glass Workers Ask More Pay. Cleveland, Jan. 14.—Officials of the National Window Glass Workers’ or- ganization have asked an increase of wages in a conference with manufac- turers from Pennsylvania, Illinois and Ohio. They say the advance in the price of glass justifies the increase. Society Shuns Mixed Wedding. Kalamazoo, Mich., Jan. 14—While officers held back a crowd that had been snowballing the Goodenow house Miss Lucene Goodenow, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George I Goodenow, ‘was married to Kyohei Inukai, a Japa- nese artist of Chicago. Two hundred ahd fifty invitations were issued to the wedding, but Kalamazoo society was conspicuous by its absence. Negro Stabbing Affray Fatal. Duluth, Jan. 14.—Walter White- head, the St. Paul negro pugilist, who lately has made his home in Duluth, is dead from the effects of a knife stab received in a fight with Ralph Jones, another negro, about a week ago. His death was wholly unexpect- ed, as the physicians had pronounced him out of danger. The Deaf and Dumb. In early times it was an opinion, maintained even by philosophers, that the education of the deaf and dumb was impossible. It was then believed that language could be acquired only through the medium of the ear, as shown by the couplet of Lucretius: To instruct the deaf no art could ever reach, No care improve them and no wisdom teach. The first mention of instruction for the deaf and dumb is found in Bede, A. D. 685. No other case is met with for some centuries. Rudolfus Agric- ola of Heidelberg makes mention of an educated deaf mute in his “Dialec- tica,” 1480. It was not until 1620 that {nstruction for the deaf and dumb be- gap to be general—New York Amer- ican. Frederick the Great. Frederick William 1., father of Fred- erick the Great, was a most brutal old fellow, treating his son almost as badly as they treat the exiles in Siberia. Un- able to endure such barbarity on the part of his father, Frederiek resolved to run away and seek refuge at the court of his uncle, George II. of Eng- land. Ready to assist him in his at- tempt were his two young friends, Lieutenants Katte and Keith. By the Imprudence of Katte the secret was found out, and Frederick was placed under arrest. Keith escaped, but Katte was tried by court martial, sentenced to death and executed. Frederick also was sentenced to death and would have been shot but for the earnest ex- postulations of the kings of Sweden and Poland, Curtain Sale Another opportunity of getting your spring curtains at a low figure. new, snappy goods in Lots of Lot I, Curtains, ... .. 79 EHARE B ) Lot 3, Curtains, . . . . . $1.48 Lot 4, Curtains, . . . . . $1.98 . .oe. $2.98 2, Curtains, 5, Curtains, =] New-Gash-Want-Rate ',-Cent-a-Word ‘Where cash accompanies copy we will publish all “Want Ads” for half- cent a word per insertion.
