DECLAMATORY GONTEST IN SGHOOL FRIDAY NIGHT One of Three Contests to Select Can- didates for Annual Inter- School Contests. A declamatory contest will be held at the High School building Friday evening, for the purpose of selecting the local high school’s representatives for the annual con- test with the high schools of neigh- boring towns. The pieces rendered will be of both serious and bhumorous char- acter. Those rendering humorous selec- tions will' be Emil Engels, James Knox, Walter Jones, Marjorie Knox. Those rendering serious selections, Elmer Hilliard, Grant Gill, Bertha Malakowski, Anna Spain, Alfred Neuman, Hiram Simons. Three contests will be held by the local students, before the final speakers are chosen. The purpose in this is to give the candidate the practice of having spoken many times 1n public, and the school will therefore be better represented in the final contest. At the contest Friday evening the three best speakers 1n each class will be chosen, and after a few more weeks of practice and rehearsal, an- other contest will be held at which the two best speakers in each class will be chosen. These will still further develop their powers as elocutionists and at a later date the best speakers will be chosen, one rendering a humorous and the other a serious selection. It is especially important that Bem1dji be well represented in this year’s inter-high school contests, as the contests will be held in Bemidji. The Bemidji High School basket- ball team will play a game with the Grand Rapids High School team, at Grand Rapids, Saturday evening. The local boys will line up as follows: A. Neuman and Brenne- man, forwards; E. Neuman, center; Larson and -Morrison, guards; Engels, sub. The locals have never played Grand Rapids at basketball and do not know how strong that team is but they are going prepared to put up the best game possible. SUNDAY SCHOOL RALLY WAS VERY SUCGESSFUL R. F. Sulzer, District Superintendent of Sabbath School Work, Delivered Address.—Fine Program. The Sunday School rally at the Presbyterian church, last evening was one of the most successful functions of that character ever held in the city, and was the yery best event which has yet been heid under the auspices of the local Presby- terian Sabbath school. The auditorium and lecture room of the Presbyterian church were connected by throwing open the intervening doors, and the entire combined floor space of the two rooms was crowded, standing room being at a premium when the rally was started. The evening’s grogram began with singing of several songs by the members of the Sunday school, after which Andrew Rood rendered a splendid vocal solo, Rev. S. E. P. White, pastor of the church, offer- ing prayer. MissDoraHanson sang a beautiful solo, and was the recipient of much applause. Rev. R. F. Sulzer of Minneapolis, district superintendent of Sabbath school work for the Presbyterian church in Minnesota and North Dakota, was present and delivered a fine address. Rev. Sulzer was for many years the synodical superintendent of Sun- day school work in Minnesota, and has but recently added other terri- torry to his work, and is district superintendent. Because of his extended experience in Sunday school work, Rev. Sulzer is peculiarly fitted to address a gathering like that of last evening, and his remarks were full of helpful suggestions. The speaker was at his best, and his remarks were i punctuated with numorous anecdotes of his personal experience. Mr. Sulzer is held in the highest esteem by the Sunday school work- ers of the state, and that he is popu- lar here was evinced by the most hearty welcome accorded the gentle- man last evening. At the conclusion of the address by Rev. Sulzer, Miss Hattie Halde- man sang a solo. Refreshments were served and a general social good time was had; and at the conclusion of the meet- SPECIAL FOR SATURDAY AND MONDAY 1 lot Ladies Fine Tailored Skirts, black, blue and brown, Saturday and Monday, at half price. 1 lot of Ladies’ Fine Tailored Suits, THE PALMER GARMENT, sold Saturday and Monday regardless of cost values facturers’ cost 1 lot of Ladies’, Misses’ and Children’s Coats sold Saturday and Monday at less than manu- 1 lot of Children’s Warm Shoes, sizes 8 to 1 1-2, special, 97c. 1 lot Children’s Shoes, sizes 8 to 13, special, 49¢ 1 lot Ladies Fleeced Underwear, all sizes, at 19¢ per garment. 1 lot of Wool Remnants, all colors; one-half off. 5000 yards of Calico, all colors and new patterns, at 6C per yard. Special for Two Days Only eary-Bowser Company BEMIDJI, MINNESOTA == N ing all wended their way ‘homeward, feeling that the evening had been well spent,-and that the local Sun- ay school, already crowded, would be greatly augmented hereafter. Concert Was Very Good.” The concert given last evening at the city hall by the Eileen Maguire company, under the auspices of the Bemidji Fire Department, was a splendid entertainment, and the fair-sized crowd that was present was well repaid, with an artistic performance. Miss Maguire possesses a superb contralto voice, and her singing was encored several times. She made a decided hit with Bemidjans. Miss Lucy Webling told some quaint stories and acquitted herself very well. Mr. Walter McRaye was a splen- did entertainer, and his rendering of “Little Bateese” was one of the daintiest and most humanizing bits of stage work seen at the local theater for some years. The series of entertainments being given under the auspices of the fire department are of a high order, and larger audiences should attend, especially as the profits will be devoted to the tournament fund. P. H. W'GARRY NURSING GONGRESSIONAL ““BEE?” Positive Assertion Made that “‘P. H.” Is Being Urged for Ninth District Congressman. Is the Hon. P. H. McGarry of Walker, representative in the leg- islature trom the Sixty-first dis- tric, harboring a congressional “bee,” and will he be indnced to oppose Congressman Lindberg as acandidate for the republican nom- ination for congress from the Sixth Congressional district? is a ques- tion which is answered in the af- firmative today by a friend of the Pioneer, who asserts positively P. H. McGARRY. that Mr. McGarry has been ap- proached on the subject of oppos- ing Congressman Lindberg and had been offered some very sub- stantial backing, should he con- sent to enter the race for congress- man in the Sixth district, The Pioneer’s informant stated that Mr McGarry had taken rather kindly to the suggestion and had requested that he be ‘‘shown” the strength of the support offered him and that he was considering the possibilities when told as to the character of the support that was tendered. Whether Mr. McGarry will decide to make the race against Con- gressman Lindberg or not is not statea, but it is possible that he may decide to become a candidate, in which instance the Sixth district will be the. battle ground of one of the most spectacular political con- tests ever pulled off in the state. Bemidji people know Mr. McGarry as a very efficient fighter and one who usually gets what he goes after; and although he opposed Bemidji successfully in the fight for the location of the proposed sixth state normal- school, he would have many friends here who would wish him every success in the congres- sional fight. Married by Judge Slocum. Again has the fine Chesterfieldan personality of M. G. Slocum been pressed into service to make as one two hearts that were beating separately, and again has the court commissioner acquitted himself with honors. Last night, Br'er Slocum officiated at the marriage of Carlos Montier to Ella M. Lystrom, and the uniting ceremony was performed with pre- cision and dispatch. And now ‘‘hizzoner” is awaiting the next timid couple. Interest Increasing in Services. [Contributed.] The special meetings at the Baptist church this week are creat- ing a good deal of interest. Although this has been a very busy week for Bemidji, the attendance has been encouraging. Mr. Hulett is getting good hold upon the hearts of the people. His sermon last night was a strong presentation of the divine side of truth. He took for his text— ““The Battleis the Lord’s,” and gave a most helpful address to christian people. Owing to the fact that Mr. Kings- bury was called to Chicago because of sickness, he has not been able to be present at our meetings. How- ever the local singers are doing well and tonight Mrs. Smythe will sing a solo, besides helping in the chorus. Mr. Hulett’s subject for this even- ing will be “To Whom Wilt Thou Go?” We ask vou very cordially to attend these services. We know if you come once you will want to hear the speaker again. Be on time. Ladie’s Day at the Met Tenpin and Box Ball Alleys. Tomorrow, (Friday,) afternoon, from 1 o’clock to 6 o’clock, will be set apartas ladies day at the Bowling alleys in order to afford the ladies an opportunity to learn and get acquainted with the game. At this time the alleys will be free to the ladies and will be exclusively for them. Every Friday afternoon thereafter will be Ladie’s Day but tomorrow will be the only free day. Next to City Hall.
