BLACKDUCK Blackduck, February 6— (Special corres- pondence of the Pioneer.) The automobiles were out in force the pleasant days of last week. Mr. Lee French entertained a case of the “chicken pox" last week. Mrs. J. C. Parker is confined to her room with a bad attack of the quinsy. Mrs. Evans of Duluth arrived Wednes- day night for a visit with her sister-in- law, Mrs, C. W. Dudley. Dan Cameron is a sufferer from rheu- matism and has been unable to attend to his work for the past week or so. Mrs. Ghostley, who has been visiting her son, Dr. Fred Ghostley, returned to her home at Anoka Wednesday morning. | Garwood's orchestra is to furnish the music for the home talent play, “Mr. Bob,” to be given Monday evening, Feb. 4. Miss Ella Zimmerman was able to be back in the school room Friday, after a seige of the quinsy. Miss Rose Zim- merman took charge of her room during her absence. Dr. Mary Ghostley returned Tuesday morning from a three weeks' stay at Milbank, S. Dakota, where she had been called to care for a brother who was very ill with pneumonia. Dr. Ghostley's many friends sympathize with her in her grief at the loss of a beloved brother. An interesting meeting of the Mission- ary society was held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. E. P. Rice on last Monday even- ing. A large number were in attendance and a good program was given on the home topic of “Emigration” and “Immi- gration.” Mrs. E. L. Oberg conducted the study of the foreign work in the Moslem world. There were vocal numbers by Miss Marian Long, Rev. Barackman and Dr. Freeburg. A lunch of coffee and cake was served. What came nearly being a serious accident took place at the railroad cross- ing near the station a week ago Saturday. Louis Olson, a resident of Hornet, was crossing the track with a load of poles when he was struck by a train. He had stopped his team before attempting the crossing, but there was no sign of a train, the dangerous curve hiding the approach, and before he could get across the train was upon him. He was harled a distance of 15 or 20 feet and was carried un- conscious to the M. & O. hospital where he was found to have escaped with sev- eral severe bruises. John H. Ballard of International Falls was married to Miss Abbie Messer~ schmidt at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. W. D. Messerschmidt, last Tues- day evening, February first. The wed- ding was a pretty home affair. Rev. F. J. Barackman performed the ceremony and the bride and groom were accom- panied by Miss Amelia Sherberg and THAT Postoffice Corner " Johnston's = We Have | % Candies | Chocalates Everymmg in the line of Gandy IS GOOD Johnston’s Five and Ten Cent Creations of Package Novelties.

Mr. Swedback has built an addi. tion to the rear of his place of business, where he has arranged thirty-four bunks fully equipped with complete paraphernalia for sleeping accomdations and which is arranged in double-deck style. For the past ten years Bemidji has boasted of being the rendezvous for lumberjacks; but it remained for Charles Swedback to provide a home- like sleeping place for the boys. At the “Headquirters Camp” there are electric lights; the place is well ventilated and there is plenty of hot water at all times. Mr. Swedback states that L. O. Larson is the “bull cook,” and that some of the occupants of the place are training for cookees. Cass Lake 42, Co. K 26. At Cass Lake last evening, the Cass Lake basketball team defeated the Co. K team of this city, by a score of 42 to 26. Co. K. players assert that the hall was so small that it was impossible for them to give a good account of themselves, as it was impossible to pull off their combination plays. The Co. K team played in the following positions: Lindsay and Dick, forwards; Kelly, center; Kreatz and Gill, guards. Subscribe for the Pioneer. Salvation Army Annual Report.

Eight Dollars Stolen at Masonic Hall Monday Evenil At the party given by the Catholic ladies, in the Masonic Temple Mon- day evening, $8 in money was taken from one of the:coats in the cloak room. Suspicion is being held over one individual and steps for recover: ing same will be taken if the party does not return money at once. The money can be mailed or left at this office and will be returned to its proper owner. It is considered an outrage for an incident of this kind to happen at so popular a gathering.

New Orleans, Feb. 8.—According to official dispatches from General Vas- quez the provisional army under Gen- eral Mena was led into a carefully planned ambuscade dt Santa Thomas and -one-sixth- of their number killed. The -government forces, says Vasquez, lost only one man killed and a few wounded.. . % In the nmning fight that followed the administration soldiers became over enthusiastic, with the result that Captain Parinalli was killed and Colo- nel Miguel and Captain Navarro des- perately wounded. Navarro was for- merly governor of the Managua peni- tentiary and it was he who executed Zelaya’s orders for the shooting ana torturing of prisoners. The reinforcing of the Estrada forces by Colonel Zeledon and '300 men stemmed the tide of retreat and pre- vented the insurgent division from be- ing cut off entirely from the rest of the Estrada army. The- victory has greatly stimulated the government troops, who lost con- fidence after their defeat at Rama, says Vasquez' message.

TAFT ISSUES A " PROCLAMATION NMinimum Rates to Apply to German Imporfs. COLONIES NOT INCLUDED State Department Will First Investi- gate the Question Whether Ger- many’s Possessions Discriminate Against Products of the United States—Same Action to Be Taken With Respect to Several Other Na- tions. ‘Washington, Feb. 8.—The president has issued a proclamation under the prov(sions of the tariff act of Aug. 5, 1909, in which he declared after March 81, 1910, all articles imported into the United States or any of its posses- sions, except the Philippine islands and the islands of Guam and Tituila, from Germany are entitled to be ad- mitted at the minimum rates of duty prescribed by section 1 of the present tariff duty. The proclamation, however, does not include the German colonial posses- sions for the reason that the depart- ment of state has not yet had sufficient time in which to investigate the ques- tion as to whether such colonies un- duly discriminate against importations from the United States. Inasmuch as the maximum rates of the. United States do not go into effect until March 31 next ample time will be afforded to determine that question. There is reason to believe that be- fore that date the president will take action including the German colonies in the list of countries entitled to the minimum rates. The proclamation is identical with that published some days ago with re- spect to Italy and several other coun- tries. . The question of undue discrimination against American goods is yet to be determined with respect to a number of other countries, including France, Canada, Japan and China and the col- onial possessions of several European countries. FIGHT FOR BETTER PRICES Milk Producers of Several States Meet at Chicago. Chicago, Feb. 8—More than 10,000 farmers and milk producers met here at the first annual annual meeting of the Milk Producers’ Protective asso- ciation to perfect plans whereby they will secure a larger share of the re- tail price of milk. Indiana, Illinois, ‘Wiscbnsin and Ohio were represented at the convention which, according to the officers, will make the dairymen wake up. It is the purpose of the convention to launch a national association to bind together milk producers all over the country -and to force the “milk trust” to give them a fair share of the retail price. VICTIM OF THE BLACK HAND Another Mysterious Murder of Italian at Chicago. Chicago, leb. 8.—Another victim was added to the long list of murders committed in the Italian colony here. Joseph Laverdi, twenty-six years old, was shot in the back and instantly killed while in the basement of his home. According to Mrs. Laverdi, who is a bride of a year, the victim had no trouble with any one. The police be- leve that the murderers were mem- bers of the Black Hand. Laverdi had gone to get a bucket of coal in the basement, where, it is said, his assail- ants were hiding. INSANE MAN BEHIND BARS Declared His Intention of Killing the President. Woburn, Mass., Feb. 8.—Declaring that he had to kill President Taft a big six-foot Lithuanian, who is known as Gardner because no ome can pro- nounce his real name, is in jail and will be examined as to his sanity. Gardner’s downfall came when he announced his purpose of kiuing the president. With a big gun and a knife he shrieked: “Let me go, let me go. I've got to kill President Taft.” He is believed to be insane. Suddenly Stricken in Church. Cleveland, Feb. 8.—At the moment that his daughter and grandson were confirmed in All Saints’ Episcopal church George J. Keidel, aged sixty, sank dead to the floor in the pew where he was standing. The grand- son, ignorant of the old man’s fate, as- cended to his accustomed place in the choir and sang as the body of his grandsire was borne quietly forth. KILLED BY A RACE HORSE Former Michigan Legislator Stepped on the Track. Jackson, Mich., Feb. 8.—Norris H. Branch, a merchant of this city and formerly a member of the Michigan legislature, was knocked down and killed by a race horse on the ice course at Vandercook lake. The race, a 2:30 pace, had four horses entered. Three had finished when Branch, wanting a better view, stepped on the track di- rectly in the path of Greenmore, driven by Fred Cowan, and was killed, e T Taft to Visit Chicago. ‘Washington, Feb. 8.—President Taft will celebrate St. Patrick’s day at Chi- cago, having definitely accepted an in- vitation from the Irish Fellowship club The president has re- quested Representative Madden of ‘ Chicago to arrange the details of the visit.
