Nice work. - This 1sa sand country and dur- ing dry weather, deep dust cannot be kept from the streets; buta few minutes of broom work by a husky man would keep the crossings clean and make the city look more tidy. If Bemidji avenue could be graded between Third and Fourth streets, a nice park could be laid out on the lake bank. This would do away with an eye sore that is the first thing seen by passengers com- ing up town from the International depot. Before newspapers were known and as common as they are now, each community had some one, known as the “Village Gossip,” who was the common dispenser of news. This personage knew the comings and goings of everyone and kept the neighbors informed. Larger stories were also circulated in the same way. But now the modern newspaper has come into the city prepared in advance to efficiently report news. It has practically supplanted the old village gossip and it is only in the small towns which do not have daily papers that the gossips survive. In a large city where the paper has many men at work gathering the news, every possible news source is covered so that it is almost im- possible for a piece to get away. But in the smaller towns, where one or two men have to get the news, write it, edit it, and then read the proof, some is sure to be missed. Since readers were asked a few days ago to bring or telephone news to the office, many have helped the Pioneer by sending in stories. One class of news, personals and social items, is not covered thoroughly be- cause we are not well enough acquainted. Personals phoned in before 11 a. m. will be printed the day they are received and we urge readers to hand in any news that will be of general interest.

CONVENTION IS SESSION Boom for Nation’s Chief Executive Is Not Interfering With Governor's Candidacy to Succeed Himself. Fight on Senatorial Nomination by the Convention Interesting. Promises to Be Dayton, O. June 22.-—Presidential endorsement for Governor Harmon is a part of the plattorm laid before the state Democratic convention, which is in session. Governor Harmon, al- though aware of this purpose, has shown no intention of opposing them. The governor proposes to confine his compaign for renomination to state is- sues, according to a statement made by him, but he has declined to discuss his presidential boom in any way. Two issues of premier importance have presented themselves to the dele- gates. The first is the attitude of William Jennings Bryan, who has de- cleared himself for the endorsement by the convention of a candidate to suc- ceed Senator Charles Dick. The sec- oud is the nomination for lieutenant governor. Mr. Bryan's point of view will be supported by the followers of former Mayor Tom L. Johnson of Cleveland and the Cuyahoga county (Cleveland) delegation. Covernor Harmon and his following ave on the opposite side and the general opinion is that they will win, The fight on the senatorial endorse- ment proposition began when the state central committee met. Newton D. Baker of Cleveland, holding the proxy of Tom L. Johnson, whose state of health caused him to remain at home, is leading in the contest for endorse- ment. Failing in the central committee Baker says he will take the fight be- fore the rules committee and demand a place in the order of business for the naming of a Democratic candidate for senator. From there he says he will take the contest to the convention floor. POLICE ESCORT FOR DRUNKS Provision of Ordinance Before Chica- go City Council. Chicago, June 22.—The “golden rule” will be applied to intoxicated persons in Chicago if an ordinance now in the hands of the judiciary committee is passed by the city coun- cil. . The city couneil judiciary commit- tee decided in the future all “drunks” found on the street by policemen must be taken to their homes. It did this despite an opinion given by Assistant Corporation Counsel Hayes that it is illegal for a policeman to take an in- toxicated person to his home instead of a police station, and after Judge McKenzie Cleland, the father of the proposed ordinance, had told the com- mittee that he had got around the ob- jections raised by the assistant corpo- ration counsel by changing the words “found on the streets in an intoxicated condition” to “found on the street in' a condition of physical helplessness.” BEEF PRICES READJUSTED Chicago Packers Reduce Poor Cuts and Raise Good. Chicago, June 22.—Following predic- tions made last week packers have cir- culated a new list of prices for dressed beef cuts in Chicago, which showed variations of interest to housewives. Most expensive cuts of beef were advanced one-half cent a pound, while the cheaper cuts were reduced one- fourth to 1 cent. The revision favor- ed the poor man’s pocketbook, while it called for a larger outlay to furnish the table of the rich. Retailers said that they would low- er their prices immediately. Close on the heels of the reduction In beef prices came the report that a consignment of 7,000 dressed hogs had been received in San Francisco from China. These hogs were said to have been imported by a St. Louis whole- saler, who will distribute them to all parts of the country, DEFENSE CLOSES ABRUPTLY Attorneys for Alleged Briber Quarrel Among Themselves. Chicago, June 22.—Abrupt an nouncement was made that the de- fense rested in the case of Lee O'Neil Browne, charged with bribery in aid of the election of United States Sena- tor William Lorimer. The action in suddenly stopping testimony followed a dispute among Browne’s attorneys, one of whom alleged having been overruled by the trial judge in an un- warranted manner. Land Rush Is Over. Cass Lake, Minn., June 22.—Prac- tically all of the land rush is over. Two hundred filings have been made thus far and squatters are straggling in. A large number haye been thrown out on account of previous filings. TITLE FOR AMERICAN GIRL Miss Mildred Carter Weds Viscount “ Acheson. Londen, June 22.—The British peer- age claimed another transatlantic beauty in the marriage of Miss Mil- dred Ridgely Carter, daughter of John Ridgely Carter, former first secretary to the American embassy in London and present United States minister ta the Balkan states, to Archibald Charles Montague Brabason, Viscount Acheson and heir to the earldom of Gosford. The ceremony was performed by B PO ey ~ - — the Rev. Prebendary And in st George's church, Hanover square, Lon- don’s most fashionable house of wors ship, and but for the recent death of King Edward it would have been one of the most brilllant functions of the'season. Lord Acheson comes from ani old Irish family and his father owns huge tracts of land in Ireland and else- where. The viscount was formerly in the crack guards reglment and serv- ed through the South African war, be- ing wounded at Modder river; He is: thirty-three years of age. RENO IS AFTER THE FIGHT! Nevada Mining Town Business Men Talk Over Proposition. Reno, Nev., June 22.—H Reno ralses funds to construct a suitable arema, with a seating: capacity of 25,000 peo: ple pays the $1,000 license fee and furnishes a site the Jeffries-Johuson fight will be held here: Tex Rickard practically assured this city of the contest if it meets the stip- ulations, at a meeting which began shortly after midnight and lasted over an hour. There is no doubt that the money, which: wil amount to' about: $17,000, will be raised. There was a mass meeting .of al’ representative business men of Reno later to discuss the proposition. CHEMIST CLASSES BREAD AS POISON Chicago Witness In Flour Stit Makes Startling: Statements. Kansas City, June 22.—Plerce But- ler of St. Paul, special United States district attorney, began the cross-ex- amination of Dr John A. Wesener, president of the Columbus laboratory, Chicago, in the bleached flour trial in the federal court here. During the crgss-examination ex- tracts of testimony given by Dr. Wes- ener at a hearing before Secretary of|! Agriculture James Wilson were read to the witness. The witness admitted on cross-ex- amination that ‘he had testified at a hearing before Secretary Wilson in 1908, that yeast and the processes used in preparing bread destroyed the nitrates in bleached flour. He added that at that time he believed bleached flour contained nitrates: Dr. Wesener said that raw flour was & poison if taken in sufficient quan tities. Pressed further by Attorney: Butler he said that bread was.a poi- son if taken in sufficient quantity. He said that strychnine and cyanide were Dot poisons unless taken in sufficient- | : ly large doses. “Then,” shouted Attorney Butler, “It I were to give Judge Scarritt here a little cyanide in his biseuit every day I should not be guilty of adminis- tering poison to him unless the quan: tity was ‘suficiently large.* - GRAIN AND PROVISION PRICES Minneapolis Wheat.

Wan. @ering from farm to: farm; the greater part of ‘the'time he was kindly treated nd hospitably entertalned generally. While he was a man. of unusual strength, he: was-mentally: weak and exceedingly lady. “He's a gle cute chiel, though slow in the uptack” (understanding), was the way a-good many. described him. One day he arrived at his friend the doctor's and complained of a severe pain in his breast. The doctor handed him'a plaster, with instructions to put it'on his.chest without delay. Geordie gave him one of his knowing looks #nd took his departure. The doctor met him a few days later and inquired. how:he was feeling now, Geordie re- plied, “Nae better.” “Did you do as 1 told you with the plaster? the doctor ‘went-on. “Weel, no, not exactly. I done the best I could. I didn’t have a chest, sae 1 stuek-it on my-bandbox” (hat box). An Expensive Dollar. Not long ago in this town a kind friend of the family gave one of the kids a dollar. Of course it was too much' to let the kid get out and spend for candy and gum,; so it was rell- glously put up on. the sideboard or some other safe place to be kept—just for what' the deponent saith not. In about a' week the juvenile. owner of the big round coin remarked at the breakfast table, “Papa, mamma spent my doliar yesterday.” The head of the-house took-the hint and fished up another' dollar, which, like its prede- cessor, was:placed In a good safe place to keep. During the next month by a careful- ly tabulated. record which he kept on. his cuff he repald this elusive dollar just thirteen times. So at the end of the month'you will not be surprised to learn that our friend sent the donor of the: original dollar this curt note: i Dean: Sir--Inclosed: you will find a check for $1.

You will see one fellow dash easily toward the car with a long, swinging stride that usually means athletics, but no spectal training in the sprint.

Doan’s: Kidney Pills permanently cure all these -disorders. Here's proof of it in a Bemidji woman’s words: Mrs. A Van Vard, 1218 Beltrami avenue, Bemidji, Minn.,, says: “I have used Doan’s Kidney Pills with satisfactory tesults and can truth: fully recommend them to anyone suff ering from kidney complaint. For some-time I had a dull pain in the small- of my back which caused me much discomfort. Other symptoms showed that my kidneys were disord- ered and were the cause of my suffering. Iat length saw Doan’s Kidney_ Pills: advertised for such complaints and deciding to try them. I procured a box at the Owl Drug I used ' them carefully as appeared and .my kidneys became strong.
