The Winners TODAY. Let us be like the stage hand in a theater of a small English town that Henry Irving was playing in. In his earlier days Henry Irving played a part in a drama which the Capitol, Grand and District Prizes have been awarded. Second Sub-District Prizes. The second Sub-district Prizes are six gold watches two with diamond set and eograved cases and four with plain engraved cases.

O, Sibley was held from the auditorium of the city hall at 2:30 o’clock this after- noon, under the auspices of the Masonic lodge of this city. The funeral was largely attended by friends of the deceased and family and was also attended by many Masons from over the entire northwest, which spoke volumes of the popularity and respect in which the deceased was held by his brother Masons. The floral tributes were many and beautiful, among which were the square and compass, the emblem of the Masonic order and other designs. HIGH SGHOOL JUNIORS TO HAVE ELABORATE DANGE Preparations Are Well Underway to Make 1910 Prom Lead All of Previous Years. The Junior class of the Bemidji High Scheol is busy planning for the big event of the year, the annual junior ball. Itis the desire of this year’s junior class to outdo, and out- shine all events held in past yelu by any high school class. The junior ball is always looked forward to with much anticipation, andis an event at which all juniors and other class members take con- siderable interest. Just where and when it is to be held has as yet not been decided. A later detailed announcement will be made when arrangements are more complete. SUGAR BEET GROWING IN BELTRAMI COUNTY F. M.

What now have I done?” He was greatly started to hear the stage hand shout in a loud voice: “Strike a match and we’ll have a look.” Now let’s strike a match and see| what you have done. Have you subscribed to the Pioneer, or have you not? Have you paid it up to date or in advance, and given your votes to one of the contestants? If you haven’t it’s time to. Don’t be a “lagger”. Be a “Live Wire” the world loves them and you won’t loose anything by it. Every one loves a cheerful giver — Remember this. Think of what a world of pleasure calling up your favorite can- didate and presenting her with your subscription will be. If a thing is worth doing at all it is worth doing well. Don’t wait ’til she comes around to see you, but go and see her. That’s the best way to doit because it’s the right way. $2500 IN PRIZES. Capitol Prize.

MODEL GLOTHING out in the afternoon or evening in good society, you do not wonder whether your clothes are cut like the other man’s; YOU not only cut right, but you know that a score of fine distinctions in workmanship and fabric and finish give you even a better bearing and a better finish than the rest. The peace of mind that a man gets by wearing a Sincerity Suit or Overcoat is worth the whole price of the clothes. And when you add to this that Sincerity workmanship and- Sincerity fabric make a Sin- cerity suit last almost twice as long, you no longer wonder why so many men’ you meet are wearing them. If you'll give us the opportunity merely of showing you our Sincerity stock of clothing, we won't have to ask you to buy a suit, you’ll be asking us to sell you one.

A baseball game was played between the local High School team and a team_gotten up by the city boys. The city team was repre- sented by very good and’' promising baseball material. The final score of the end of the seven-inning gamie was 5 to 7 in favor of the city team. This game was considered only as a practice game by the high school boys. The score during the first five innings was 2 to O in favor of the high school team. Warren Gill was in the box for the high school boys during the first four innings and held the city boys safe. . After this' considerable shifting was done to \ try out new material and the team was practically changed in every department. This was not a game of win or jnle—it was mole of a trying-out game and nothing can be judged from the results. The high school fans are becom- ing very enthusiastic over this year’s possibilities and believe that they can phoe a ball team on the dia- mond thlt will be well to.the front nnionz the \Illh ichwl teams of this To keep Bemidji on the map as a good wholesome town for sports, it should have a zood'base ball team in the field this summer. Local en- thusiasts are beginning to show much interest and enthusiasm and predict that Bemidji can place a base ball team on the diamond this summer that will be second to none in the northern part of the state. There is very good material in this city and if a manager and cap- tian can be chosen early there should be httle trouble in selecting a first class team. _ When a city the size of Bemidji Gill, Baumgartner, Carlton, Eckles, Mitchell, Kreatz, Riddell, Barker, Brown, Larson, Gould, Lagour and others equally as good, it should by all means be repre- sented on the baseball diamond. There is some talk of forming a league of five teams among the cities of northern Minnesota and it is thought that Bemidji can lace a team ‘in' the league that can carry away the pennant. Felix Barbau and D, L:' Hickeos, of the bridges for the Soo railway, are . contemplating “to commence i : w days. can place men in the field like who have charge of the construction -
