Parker, mayor of Bemidji, was elected chairman of the Re- publican County Committee for the coming year, and E. H. Denu was chosen secretary and treasurer.

Flesher, the new pastor of the First Methodist church, has arrived in Bemidji from Fergus Falls and will have charge of the services tomorrow, The family home will be in the 113 Ninth Street.

E. church Sunday, and left with his family for Bemidji yesterday, Mr. Flesher's retirement from this charge is a source of keen regret not alone -to the. members of his own congregation but to “the entize city. He isa man active in all good works and in all civic responsibilities, “A cordial ‘good-by’ was extended to Mr. and Mrs. Flesher Monday night in the way of a reception, fol- lowed by refreshments and addresses. The closing episode was a gift of $100 in cash from parishioners and a fine silk umbrella from the pastor’s Sunday school class. Reverend Flesher spoke feelingly in response. Formal resolutions were' adopted, setting forth the feeling of the church at the departure of their beloved pastor. The family left for Bemidji yesterday. Candidate for Sheriff.

Andrew Johnson, parsonage at The |, Natlon Pays a Great Tribute fo Former President Upon His . Arrival in New York. New York, Jume 18—A reception that transcended all of his visits to the capitals of Europe combined in point of numbers, enthusiasm and spontaneity greeted Colonel Theodore Roosevelt here this morning on his re- turn to his native land. The most frankly pleased person was the returned traveler himself, and not only by words of thanks, but with the famous Roosevelt smile and.vigor- eusly enthusiastic acknowledgments ot greetings, did he show his appre- ciation of the greatest reception tem- dered any American. “Pe-lighted!” roared the crowd on lower Broadway as the procession tarted nortaward:from the Battery, nd the ex-president showed his fa- mous teeth as he bowed. “Bully!” shrieked the impenetrable mass at City Hall park, and the Rough Rider stood in his carriage and waved his bat. The people remembered the colo- nel's succinct phrases, ard so did Mr. Roosevelt, for he never ceased to ac- knowledge them. New York has welcomed many no- tables, but never a one attracted the attention or received the welcome ac- corded the citizen of Oyster Bay. Be- fore many of the so cplled “malefac- tors of great wealth” had arisen for the half day’s labors the naval flotil- la was at Quarantine awaiting the transferring of the Roosevelt party from the Kaiserin Auguste Victoria to the revenue cutter Androscoggin. Haif Holiday Opportune. By the time the great marts of trade were in full swing he was being off- cially welcomed home; and the com mencement of the half hollday served chiefly to permit the hundreds of thousands of workers to delay their homeward trips to witness the tri- umph of Ronsevelt as the procession passed up Broadway, under the Wash- ington arch and up Fifth avenue through ranks of cheering pofitical and business and social organizations. Despite the early hour thousands of sightseers—men, women and children —were at the Battery by 5 o'clock this REVIEWING WELCOMING FLO- TILLA. morning. The reason was twofold. They wanted to see the departure of the flotilla of steamers as it started down the bay for Quarantine, and they had hopes they would beat the police to positions of vantage around the stand of welcome. The latter was a vain quest, for hundreds of bluecoats surrounded the platforms and adja- cent space reserved for the reception comiittee. It 'was a hurrled embarkation of the welcomers not only at the Battery, but at more than a hundred piers on the Hudson and East rivers, for the rendezvous was set for the Narrows, connecting the upper and lower bays, for 8:30 a. m. The sun was fast dis- pelling the morning mist and the light glinted on gaily decorated craft of every description. Flags, bunting, Teddy bears, G. O. P. elephants and welcome signs were seen everywhere, Greeted In the Bay. The time of transferral of the Roose- velt party had been tentatively fixed for 9 o'clock, and it was about half an hour before that the huge Kalserin Auguste Victoria was seen threading her way up the Ambrose channel, the decks.. filled with passengers, who waved greetings to the hundreds of smaller craft that surrqunded her. As the steamer passed the din of welcome began. The guns of Fort Wadsworth on the Staten Island side of the Narrows boomed their greeting, and the artillery of Fort Hamilton, on Long Island echoed noisily. Every whistle of the flotilla shrieked in ri- valry as the steamer dropped anchor oft Quarantine, The din was at its height when the, Roosevelt party was espied on the up- per forward deck, the colonel boyishly waving his hat to Collector Wiiliam Loeb and ‘other friends on the revenue cutter Androscoggin. By his’side were Mrs. Roosevelt, Mrs. Nicholas Longworth, Miss Ethel and Kermit Roosevelt and Secretary of the Navy Meyer, who met ,the steamer, at Sandy Hook last night. ‘The Androscoggin headed the proces- and Colonel Roosevelt held an im- vised levee forward, There were of the committeemen whose Big Flotilla In Line In His Honor. Met by Mayor Gaynor and Distinguished Party, chief, would smile broadly and wave his hand, and the noise began again. Finally, in despair, the ceremonies began, Mayor Gaynor simply telling Mr. Roosevelt of the joy he felt as a New Yorker of welcoming home a na- tive of the clty who, in addition to reaping the highest honors his own country could bestow, had likewise ex- cited the admiration of the capitals and rulers of Europe and downed the savage animals in Africa in their lairs, The mayor’s remarks were inaudible except to those within the roped cir- cle in front of the stand and to the committeemen and others on the »e- served section of the stand. The peo- ple seemed content with looking at the ex-president and occasionally cheering without other incentive. Hence the same conditions pre- vailed when Colonel Roosevelt made his brief reply. He thanked the com- mittee and through it New York and the states generally which had tender- ed him the welcome, which he felt more deeply thamn any honor yet ten- dered him. If the naval parade was & success the parade up Broadway and Fifth avenue was trebly so. It was here that the thousands upon thousands who lined the streets could see the man who had caused this uproar and greet him, and the canyon of Broad- way resounded with cheers. Here, as at the Battery, the office buildings were jammed with sightseers. Even the wonderful height of the Singer tower was no obstacle to privileged ones who gazed at a spectacle that must have resembled an ants’ proces- slon in their eyes. Many Celebrities in Line, "Following an escort of mounted po- Hce and the band of the historic Sev- enth regiment of the New York na- tional guard came a corps of rough riders, mounted and in costume, the guard of honor. Behind them was Colonel Roosevelt in an open barouche. ‘The reception committee in a long line of carriages followed, embracing na- tional celebrities such as Secretary of the Navy Meyer, Secretary of Asrlcnl “DE-LIGHTED!” names he could not recall without prompting, for they embraced old friends and allies -and bitter political foes, but all this was; laid astde for a day in New York’'s expression of the national welcome to, the statesman and hunter. Naval Parade Impressive. There was but one warship and five torpedo boats in the fleet, but it lacked nothing of dignity because of the necessary omission. - There were |* twelve divisions, each commanded by a vice commodore under general su- pervision of Fred B. Dalzell. In the first and second divislon-were steam- boats carrying members ot various po- litical organizations. The Republican club of New-York, Hamilton club of Chicago, Duquesne club of Pittsburg dnd Union League clup of Philadel- phia were among them, and each had a steamer filled to the guards and canopied in bunting. The third division was composed en- tirely of steam yachts, and this was the social section, for the women lent their aid to theé celebration with the gayety of summer costume. The re- maining division contained tugs and miscellaneous craft. The entire course in the upper bay and North river was patrolled by revenue cutters and steam craft impressed into service by the committee in charge. The water display was an impres- sive one. The big armored cruiser, North Carolina, was President Taft’s insistent contribution as an adminis- trative feature, and it formed a black spot in the array of highly decorated steamers and tugs. Straight up the North river the pro- cession moved, factories and vessels along the shores adding their whistles to the din that carried for miles. The boats were in two lines 200 feet apart and kept to the New Jersey side of the river to Fifty-ninth street, where a stakeboat was placed. On the re- turn trip the boats followed the' New York side and enabled Colonel Roose- velt to review the procession, the Androscoggin passing through the cen- ter of the flotilla, By the time Col- onel Roosevelt arrived at the Battery the boats were still movlng up the river. The nearest approach to the demonstration was the trip up the same river in 1899 of Admiral Dewey and the Olympia on his return to the United- States after his trlumph at Manila. People Pack Water Front. The water front on both sides of the Hudson was black with people, special grand stands being erected on many of the piers, and exorbitant prices were charged for seats. It whs about 11 o’clock when Colonel Roosevelt and the reception commit- tee disembarked at the Battery, where Mayor Gaynor awaited them. Every available foot of ground not guarded with physical force by the police was occupled, and it was with difficulty that Broadway Ras kept clear for the land parade. The debarkation was the signal for the start of a hoarse roar. from the erowd, which was but temporarily checked by the presidential salute of twenty-one guns from the North Caro- lina. The arrangements at the Bat- tery were so perfect that Colonel Roosevelt was landed without incon- venignce and made his way on a’ rals% walk from the pier to the plat- form facing Battery park in compara- tive comfort. The windows and roofs of surrounding skyscrapers reflected the masses of people on the Hudson’s shores, and no point of vantage was too dangerous to lack an occupant. According to the committee's pro- gramme, the ceremonies of welcome were brief. The advancéjof Mr. Roosevelt to the front of the platform was the signal for a marvelous demon- stration, during which time he re- newed his acquaintance with Mayor Gaynor and others and then waited for the tumult to.subside. The noise would die away, and then the colonel, Photo by American Press Assoclation. NEW PICTURE OF ROOSEVELT. ture ' Wilson, Captain Archibald W.

Captain MacLachlan, who runs the Yankee Doodle between Bemidji and the dam, took the entire staff and office force of the Pioneer on the trip last night. The start was made at 7:30 and the run to the dam made in good time. Once there, the girls spread a lunch that would have de-lighted the heart of Teddy Roosevelt and all did it full justice. After lunch, the phonograph was started and everyone joined in a frolic on the beach and the dam platform. Coming home, the Yankee Doodle left the dam about 10:00 and the run back was a fast one. Captain Mac Lachlan knows the river like a book and he threaded his way in and out of the snags without hitting one, although he knew where they were so well that the boat missed some by six inches. The ride to the dam is a fine one and a pleasent way to spend a hot evening. The breeze of the boat is cooling and the shade of the big trees on the bank keeps the river air cool. At the dam, there are tables for picnic lunches and ‘an excellent spring for drinking water. The Yankee Doodle is a staunch .|craft and will easily carry thirty people. Motive power is furnished .| by a three cylinder, 25 h. p. engine. Captain MacLachlan makes a trip Made Court Commissioner to Fill Slocum Vacancy. A. M.
