DUCKS SWARM HERE; RIPE ON WEDNESDAY Bemidji Hunters Plan to Charge Fowls, which Are Numerous, on the Opening Day. CHOICE GROUNDS NOT FAR AWAY Warden Bailjy Prevents Premature Shootirg] And as Result Sport Will be Excellent. When the hunting season opens on Wednesday of this week, Bemidji hunters will find that there are more ducks in this vicnity small-game than for several years past, according to cruisers and others who have been visiting the variouslakes and streams. “Much credit is due S. C. Bailey, Beltrami county’s game warden, for the manner in which he has prevent- ed the killing of small game before the opening of the season,” said a prominent member of the Bemidji Rod and Gun club today. The best places for hunting ducks in this vicinity are Mud lake, near Puposky: Rice lake, the Meadows, Three Island lake, Long lake, and several points in north- western Itasca coupty and on into Koochiching county. Many Bemidji hunters are plan- ning on going out the first ‘day of the open season for duck shooting. Frank Lycan, of the hotel Mark- ham has delayed his visit to the state fair in order to go after prairie chickens Wednesday with his brother at Crookston. Incidentally, the chicken crop is the largest in years, From September 7 to to Novem- ber 7, prairie chickens, turtle-doves, snipe, white-breasted and sharp- tailed grouse. woodcock, upland plover and golden plover may be killed. From September 7 to December 1, wild duck of all va- rieties, wild geese, brant and aquatic fowl may be killed. From October 1 to December 1, quail, partridge, ruffed grouse and pheasant may be killed.

No person is allowed to kill more than fifteen birds in any one day, or to have more than forty-five chickens or fifty ducks in his possession at any time. game Birds may be had in possession for five days. Judge M. A. Spour;er. prefers chickens to ducks, and will go after them Wednesday in Clearwater county. GREAT PLAY AT THE BRINKMAN THEATRE Feature Bill Sure to Make You Laugh. Miss Rothchild at the Piano, is Pleasing Singer. Seldom there comes to Bemidji a company so popular and so well liked and one that keeps the audi- ence in a continuous uproar as the Alair’ De Armond Company, which appears at the Brinkman this week, They present this week a three scene racing comedy drama entitled “True to a Jockey’s Col- ors.” This company comes here with a reputation as a laugh producer and as such, is one that has few if any equals on the vaudeville stage today. The cast of characters. Robert Hadley,one of New Yor’ks Four Hundred, Rodyn Adair, Chuck Randle, who follows the ponies, Oliver Jinkens. Violet Kent, Bob’s sweetheart, the volunteer jockey, Blanche De Armond. Newspaper comments on | this sketch describe the reception of the audience in this phrase; A laugh, a howl. and a scream from start to finish. Spaulding and James present a comedy act doing various stunts that please. Their feats are interest- ing and command the attention of the onlookers. The illustrated songs are now being rendered by Miss Myrta E. Rothchild, who also plays the piano. Miss Rothchild is an accomplished musical artist as well as a singer. Her home is in Minneapolis, where she has been engaged in ope of the large theaters as leading pianist. She has appeared many times in the east in grand opera and has been pro- nounced master in this art. Miss Rothchild will continue to appear at the Brinkman Family theatre indefinitely and much credit is due the management of this popu- lar playhouse for having secured her services. Judging from the ap- plause she received daily since com- ing to Bemidji her numbers are be- ing highly appreciated. The moving pictures this week are high class in every detail. The films are A-1 and add much to the completeness of the program. T0 MEET FARMERS SEPT. (6 Commercial Club Committee to Assist in Warehouse Problem.

Burglars Loot a Church. Rochester, N. Y., Sept. 5.—Burg- lars got into St. Bonaventures college three miles west of Omaha and stole seven golden chalices from the altar | of the adjoining church. The poor box was torn from the wall and its contents taken. The total damage and loss to the church was about $1,700. McGuire, Who Used Axe on Durkee, Found By Boy Near Foy. Tony McGuire, the maniac, who rushed by Mayor Parker at the Parker camp near Kelliher, on Aug. 26, and struck down Durkee with an axe, was found dead in the woods west of Foy. McGuire had cut his throat with a razor, severing the jugular vein. His body was discovered by John Olson, a twelve yeard old boy, who was hunting. Cornor Ibertson of Bemidji was notified and after viewing the body decided that an inquest would be unnecessary. The dead man was identified by John Carlson, postmaster at Foy, for whom McGuire worked before going to the Parker camp. McGuire apparently committed suicide the day following his assault on Durkee. His body was decompos- ed. The town of Battle will bury the body. McGuire had been drinking heavily and his assault upon Durkee is traced to a disordered brain as the result of his excessive use of intoxi- cants. He struck his victim down with- out warning and when Mayor Parker called to him he threatened the mayor with death... He. then ran to shelter in the woods, carrying the axe with him aud all efforts to locate him since then failed, until his body was found Friday night by the Olson boy.

With the exception of Miss Floy Donaldson, all the instructors of the Bemidji public schools attended a meeting this afternoon, called - by Supt.

St. Paul, Minn., Sept. 5,—(Daily Pioneer Special Wire Service)—| Governors of more than a dozen states, United States senators of this and adjoining commonwealths, the mayor of St. Paul and the mayor of Minneapolis, with the officers of the National Conservation Congress and the reception committee of promi- nent St. Paul citizens greeted Presi. dent Taft as he stepped from his private car i nthe Union Station here this morning. Surrounded by this committee of | prominent personages, intermingling with whom were half a dozen secret service men, and a dozen picked de- t-ctives, the president was hurried to an exit of the station where he entered an automobile and was taken to the reviewing stand in Rice Park opposite the postoffice where he witnessed the Labhor Day parade, the longest ever seen in St. temporary. The board, as well as myself, regret that Miss Donaldson can not be with us and when ever her sight becomes strong enough she will find a place awaiting her in the Bemidji public schools.” The morning session tomorrow will be given over to the work of enrollment, but it is expected that lessons will be assigned in the after- noon. The pupils in east Bemidji, from the first to the sixth grades, until the new building is completed will attend school in the Poor Farm building, as they did last year. Deputy Coroner Appointed. Coroner Ibertson has appointed George Knutson as deputy and Mr. Knutson will lock after the duties of that office for the next ten days while Mr. and Mrs. Ibertson are visiting in North Dakota. Paul. A troop of United States cavalry from Fort Snelling acted as the president’s escort. In the automobile with the presi- dent were Governor Eberhart of Minnesota and Mayor Herbert P. Keller of St. Paul. As the President’s car sped up Fourth street, thousands atood on the sidewalks and welcomed him with cheers. The president stood and bowed his smiling acceptance. Governors, senators and others of the receiving party followed the president to Rice Park in automo- biles and at once took positions behind him in the reviewing stand. Here the secret service men and detectives were again on the alert. Delegates to the congress from all over the United States were in the crowd of 25,000 persons that surrounded the reviewing stand and massed the nearby streets and they cheered the president when he appeared. When the parade was over the president was hurried to a private entrance to the auditorium where thousands of voices cheered his appearance on the stage to address the Conservation Congress. His speech completed the president left the great auditorium midst a storm ot applause. He again en- tered an automobile and was con- veyed to the new Saint Paul hotel where for an hour he rested. Following luncheon with the governors and other prominent men, the president again entered an auto- mobile and was conveyed to the state fair grounds where from the judges stand in front of the grand stand he delivered a short address complimenting Minnesota upon. her great fairr, The grand stand and bleachers were completely filled. Governor Eberhart delivered the address of welcome to the president on behalf of the state in the audi- torium and Mayor Keller welcomed STRIKING POINTS IN TAFT'S SPEECH Roosevelt took up the task of con- servation aad well did he perrorm it. I have inherited this policy and I rejoice in my heritage. Conservation is not a question of politics or of fractions or of persons. There is no crying need for radical reform in our method of disposing of agricultural lands. Ideprecate the idea of government drainage of swamp lands. No private claims for the coal lands of Alaska have been allowed. The disposition of water power sites is one of the most difficult problems of practical conservation. FAIR REGORDS SHATTERED Despite Clouds it is Expected Today’s Crowds Will be Biggest. State Fair Grounds, Hamline, Minn,, Sept. 5—(Daily Fioneer Special Wire service)—Despite the threatening skies fwhich have pre- vailed here all day, it is expected that all records for attendance at the Minnesota state fair will be broken. Asearly as 2 o’clock this after- noon, the grounds were black with humanity and people are still swarm- -ing through the gates. President Taft speaks at 4 p. m. The Beltrami county exhibit was all in place when the gates opened this morning. It is one of the finest exhibits at the fair. FAIR VISITORS PACK [CARS Night and Morning Trains to St. Paul and Minneapolis Crowded. 'Although an extra sleeper was added to last night’s St. Paul-Min- neapolis train, every berth, lower and upper, was taken, and the same sort of a crowd is expected tonight, when another extra sleeper will be run. In the day coaches every seat was occupied and some of the passengers had to stand. The same conditions prevailed at the morning train. It is esti- mated that 200 persons from Be- midji and immediate vicinity will be in the cities this week. FOOTBALL TEAM AT WORK From present indications the high school football eleven of 1910 will be one of the fastest that the school has ever been able to turn out. Coach Robinson had the candi- dates out for the first time this after- noon and the ginger in which they ran through their work was encour- aging. The team will lose from last year’s lineup, Kreatz, captain and star quarter, Lycan, northern Minnesota’s most aggressive fullback, Gill, who was always a tower of strength and Brenneman at centre, who was one of the strongest line men the high school hasever had. Of last year’s team there will be, Gould and Neuman at the ends,a pair that can run rings around any end in this section of the state, while the rest of the line will contain Rus- sell, last year’s staunch guard, Peck, another old reliable and Lycan.

CONSERVATION QUARRFL FEARED Louis Hill Charged With Plckin; Gathering With Delenm Un- friendly to The Cause. St. Paul, Minn,. Sept. 5—(Daily Pioneer Special Wire Service)—A national sensation was sprung here today when it became known that certain interests were at work in an effort to discredit the work of the Conservation congress which opened in the auditorium here today, On the top of this came the news that Gifford Pinchot, who more than any other man, should be_ credited with the gathering here, ‘had sreceived a direct snub, by not heing invited to the breakfast to be given Theodore Roosevelt at the | Hotel Raddison in aneapnlls to~ morrow merning. Pinchot is one of Cal, Roose= ., velt’s most intimate friends. ° Word from Roosevelt late this afternoon was that if Mr. Pinchot was to be slignted he would have something to say and that he would say 1t in a way that people would understand what he meant. Mr. Roosevelt is at Fargo today. He said he could not believe that such a slight could be meant to Pinchot. Nevertheless the fact remains that while practically all the officers of the Conservation association, as well as visiting governors “and other prominent men, have been invited to the Minneapolis breakfast Mr. Pinchot has not. Unless someone steps in and smoothes things out, a dramatic situation awaits the coming of the morrow. This afternoon it looksas if there would be some real fireworks, It is charged that, under the direction of Louis Hill, president of the Great Northern, governors of western states have packed the con~ servation convention with delegates hostile to the plans for which the meeting was assembled.
