The Bemidji high school football eleven made another step toward the championship of northern Minnesota Saturday afternoon, when they de- feated the strong Akeley aggregation, by the overwhelming score of 51 to 0. The Akeley band plaved and the business houses were closed during the contest. At no time during the entire con- test was the Bemidji goal line in danger, and only once did the lum- ber city boys succeed in gaining first down. Akeley found it almost impossible to gain through the Be- midji line, the ends meant a lose, while Bemidji worked the forward pass to great ad- vantage, gained on line smashes and end runs almost at will. A Hendrickson kicked off to Ake- ley’s fifteen yard line who returned the oval ten yards. Akeley failed to gain on their first down and fumbled on their next attempt, Stanton fall- ing on the ball on the Akeley twenty yard line. On a long end run Gould carried the ball to the five yard line, from where Larson crossed the goal line on the next play. Bemidji miss- ed goal.

Stanton went over on the next play for the second touchdown. Bemidji kicked goal. First quarter; Bemidji 11 Akeley 0. . The second quarter began with the ball in Bemidji’s possession on their own fifty yard line. ¢Rab- bit"” Bailey made a pretty run on the next play, throwing off tackler, and crossing the Akeley goal line just as he was hit by two pur- suers. Bemdji kicked goal. After the next kick off Bemidji got possession of the bzll on the Akeley fifteen yard line from where Hendrickson tore through teft tackle for another touchdown. Bemidji kicked goal. A moment later with the ball on the Akeley twenty yard line in Bemidj’s pos- session, the locals were held tor downs, and forced to kick, Bailey again proving his foot ball ability by planting the pigskin squarely between the uprights Akeley kicked off to Champer- lain who returned the ball thirty yards, to the center of the field, from where Larson on a short end run took it to thirty yard line.

AGED FARMER SHOOTS HIMSELF ACCIDENTALLY Michael Kline, a farmer, 69 yéars old, living three miles east of Nebish accidentally shot himself with an artomatic rifle yesterday, dying from the wound today shortly after the arrival of Dr. Henderson of this city. The bullet shattered the bone be- low the knee causing a flow of blood which, because of the lack of medical attention quickly weakened the aged man, Dr. Henderson hastened to the wounded man’s aid but he arrived too late to be of service. The dead man is survived by a wife and son. Interment probably will be made at the old home at Mountain Lake. REFERENDUM ON NEW PARTY BLOOD FLOWS; TIGHTS 60; POLIGE END MATCH Crowd at Wrestling Match Here Satur- day Night Sees More Excitement Than Was Expected SAILOR JACK IN SALOME ATTIRE Had Taken on Peter Edd “For Fun” When Bill Begsley Grabs Champion’s Garb What happy little wrestling match be. tween two clever athletes at the armory opera house here Satur- day evening proved to be a boist- erous eventin which one of the contestants had a blood vessel broken, while his opponent at- tempting wrestler was pounced upon by an outsider and had his tights torn from him, the crowd ‘mixing it up” until Chief of Police Harring- ton and two of his men interfered and diseprsed the meeting. Sailor Jack had been billed to meet Richard Hodge, the Scottish cham- pion. The men went tc the mat and for forty minutes it was an even struggle, neither man securing a fall. Sailor Jack’s muscle, however began to tell and suddenly Hodge dropped to the ma¢, blood flowing from his mouth. He claimed a blood vessel in his throat had been broken. He gave up the contest and was taken from the hall. Sailor Jack was still full of fight and offered to bet $100 he could throw any three men in town with- in an hour’s time, When he failed to start anything-by this offer, -he agreed to take on Peter Edd just for fun.” Edd accepted the chal- lenge and went to it. The men struggled about on the mat, Edd showing up well, when after twenty minutes William Begsley permitted his enthusiasm to get the better of him and he reached over and grabbed Sailor Jack’s tights. There was a ripping of cloth and a moment later £ailor Jack came up looking like a Salome dancer, only more so, Sailor Jack was peeved at Mr. Begsley’s conduct and sent a couple of blows in the direction of that gentleman’s anatomy and although they fell short, they succeeded in setting the crowd wild and for a few minutes it looked as if there was to was scheduled to be a tc throw a Bemidji Illinois Federation of Labor to Submit Proposition. Rock Island, 111, Oct. 24.—The Illi- nois Federation of Labor, at its clos- ing session, adopted resolutions, pre- sented by President John H. Walker of the Illinois miners, looking to a referendum vote of workers in this and other states upon forming a new political party to be composed exclu- sively of working classes, including farmers. e President Edwin R. Wright of Chi- cago was re-elected, as were all other officers. PLEADS FOR SENATOR LODGE Roosevelt Makes Political Speech in Boston. v Boston, Oct. 24—Theodore Roose: velt spoke here in behalf of the Re- publican party of Massachusetts. He said it would be a calamity to the na- tion if Senator Lodge should fail of re-election. The senator, he said, was a friend of progressive legislation. The colonel made no reference to the Payne-Aldrich bill, confining his remarks to an endorsement of the tar- iff plank of the Republican state plat- form and of the tariff board scheme. Colonel Watch for Our Special Twin Clty Edition Which Will Appear Soon be a good old fashioned free for all fight. It was at this point that Chief Harrington decided he would “do a little wrestling himself, and he won the only real victory of the evening by putting the crowd down and out. BUSY WEEK FOR GOVERNOR Will Make 20 Speeches; Closes Cam- paign at Marshall. Governor Eberhart will make at least 20 speeches this week and fully as many in the closing week of the campaign. His itinecry pro- vides for little rest and many quick connections. Senator Moses E. Clapp will speak in Duluth, Oct. 29, on which day the governor will finish at Marshall his whirlwind-day of special train tour. Chairman E. E. Smith, while con- fident that Governor Eberhart and the entire state ticket will be elected by a handsome majority, is working along lines that would be followed in case of a close fight. Over-confidence and under-exer- tion are being discouraged and the full schedule of speaking dates given out today shows that the Republican leaders are up and doing. $.Y. Gordon, candidate for lieu- tenant governor, will spiend two days on the range speaking at Eveleth on Oct. 24, and Chisholm, Oct. 25. Senator Nelson will invade the Eighth district at Anoka on the 29.th Mayor Keller of St. Paul will' speak in Minneapolis Oct. 24, Body Found By George Earle. Oscar Peterson, 23 years old, was yesterday found dead htniing to the limb of a tree at the north end of Dewey avenue. The body was first discovered by George Earl who was out hunting. Mr. Earl notified Coroner M. E. Ibertson, who, when he cut the’body down, found that it was badly decomposed and that death must have taken place at least a week ago. In his determination -to die, the young man displayed ~ spartan courage. His feet dragged on the ground and he could, at any time during his struggle have straighten: ed up, stopping his nzofl:y and thus saving his life. His self execution was committed with a hemp clothes line. He threw one-end over a limb scarcely morethan five feet high and, after having placed a noose about his neck, settled his weight upon the rope until it choked outhis life. Despondency is givenas the cause for the suicide. Peterson has two brothers; one living out in the country and theother, Albin, residing n Nymore. It was not long ago that Albin sent his brether, who was in Sweeden, $125 to come to this country. Oscar had been here be- fore but was anxious to come back. He did not get along well and re- cently began to drink heavily. The body will be buried by the city. : THE SALE FOR “PAID IN FULL" TOMORROW Atlp. m. Tuesday; the sale of seats for the engagement of “Paid in Full” will go on-lat “Hakison’s drug store. The sure way to get the choice of locations is to call the seat sale up at that hour or any time af- ter, but telephone orders will be re- ceived and given all the attention possible. No seats will be held out previous to thehour of opening of the sale and the first person at the sale may have any seat and at the regular prices advertised. This is considered by the management to be fair to every- body. Many patrons have asked for special favors along this line and if all who have asked for seats in advance had been accommodat- ed there would be no seats left for those who go to the seat sale today. The mail orders have all been numbered and will have the at- tention of the management in their order and good seats secured at the discretion of seat sale people, The number of inquiries receiv- ed indicate that <‘Paid in Full” will have a cordial reception here on Oct. 31, the remarkable in- terest shown in Bemidji being no exception to the rule, as many may think. Itis the sams wher- ever it appears. The company which comes is an exceptionally strong one, having played all the principal cities of the West. Among those who will appear are Wagenhais & Kemper Co., thus assuring a first class performance of this powerful New York and Chicago success. Boat Club Meeting. All members of the Bemidji Boat Club and others interested, are re- quested to meet at the Markham hotel at 8 o’clock Monday evening, October 24. Important business V. L. Ellis, Secretary. TRY TO BLACKMAIL PRELATE Hungarians Arrested by Postoffice In- spector at Cleveland. Columbus, O., Oct. 24.—Postoffice Inspector J. F. Oldfield of Cincinnati, aided by secret service men and local police, arrested -six Hungarians on a charge of attempting blackmail. The alleged victim was Archbishop Julius Van Baroosky of Kalocsa, Hun- gary. Four letters are said to have been sent to the archbishop by Jonas Vargo, one of the men arrested, which sought to extort money from the prelate. The letters contained a threat that unless l it was forwarded the archbishop would be killed. USES ROPE AND GRIT TO DIE| STANTON, SENSM Youg i Gt e s -OF PHESENEAMPAIBN Endorsed By Nearly Every Member of Bar of This District as Candidate For District Judge. NEWSPAPERS ALSO SUPPORT HIM Clippings Show Widespread Popularity of Man Who Has Been Prominent In State Politics. Never before in the history of Minnesota, and probably not in any other state, has there been such a demonstration in behalf of a politi- cal candidate as has greeted the fil- ing of Judge C. W. Stanton, as a nonpartizan candidate to succeed himself as a member of the district court, Not only has he wiped out party lines but he has achieved the re- markable distinction of receiving the personal endorsement of every attorney in this judicial district— composed of eight courties—with the exception of three men, eighty- one lawyers being included in the list, All But Eight are Republicans. It is also significant that, while Judge Stanton has been prominently mentioned as a democratic candidate for governor, with the exception of eight names, all the signers of this endorsement are republicans. The Itasca county list is headed by C. C. McCarthy, state senator from Grand Rapids. There is still another unusual feature in conmection with Judge Stanton’s campaign, and that is the endorsement which he is receiving from the newspapers. A few éfippings follow: Subject of Repeated Eulogies. In view of the lively interest that is being taken all through northern Minnesota in the candidacy of Judge Stanton for re-election to the district bench, it is particularly interesting to note what John Lind says about a non-partisan judiciary. All through the state there is an ever-recurrent mention of the desirability of keep- ing Associate Justice O’Brien on the bench, and in the north Judge Stan- ton’s services are the subject of re- peated eulogies.—Duluth Herald. Praises Stanton’s Record. Judge C. W. Stanton, judge of the 15th judicial district, holds an office in which there should be as few changes as possible. On the familiarity of the office of district judge, his honesty and integrity no one questions, Judge Stanton has administered the work of his| district in a manner that leaves nothing desired.—Bagley Herold, His Decisions Impartial. Hon. C. W. Stanton, non-partisan judiciary candidate from the 15th judical district, stands so well with the people that his petition contain- ed double the number of names re- quired by law. Of his ability there is no question and aslawyers all over the district are working for him, it can be taken that his rulings are absolutely impartial.—Grand Rapids Herald Review. Has Won Popular Approval. Judge C. W. Stanton, non partisan candidate tor judge of this district, visited Park Rapids the past week and called on a number of his friends here. The judge has a number of good supporters among the voters of this locality and is assured of a good vote here. His past record as judge has' been creditable and has won popular approval and The Enterprise ‘Sees no reason why voters of the dis- trict regardless of party affiliation should not give Judge Stanton their endorsement.—Park Rapids Enter- prise. When He is Best Known. In this county the men are Re- pulicans or Democrats or some- thing else right .up to. the time that Judge Stanton's- nmame is the former republican Ogaard, chairman of the Republi- can County Central committee, for instance, is a Stanton man and all over the county men of every shade of poiitical belief balk at party platforms and edicts and political beliefs when the ¢‘old judge” as he often affectionately referred to, come up for considera- tion, It is the “‘heart quality” in men that wins other men to them and holds their friendship through thick and thin and it has been said of Judge Stanton thatnot in the histery of the state has there been a man in public lite more richly endowed in this respect than Judge Stanton. Those who know him best and have known him longest swear by him strong- est.—-International Falls Press. WARREN FIRE; WATER FAILS Taralseth Department Store Building Falls Easy Prey to Flames. Fire at Warren early today destroyed the two story brick building occupied by the K. ]J. Taralseth Co. department store, according to a message received in Bemidji by E. F. Stevens, who owns property near the destroyed structure. The volunteer fire department was unable to successfully fight the flames because the city’s water supply gave out. This supply is furnished by two artesian wells, which, because of the dry season are unusually low. . The loss is several thousand dollars and was but partially covered by insurance. This store was oné of the largest stores in Northern Minne- sota. FORMER MAYOR POGUE “LOSES DAMAGE SUIT Former Mayor J. O. Pogue will not get g10,000 from the Great Northern railroad company as the result of having his automobile demolished at Wilton a year ago at which time, he alleged, he had receivaed E fnjuriqs which entitled him to the above amount, Early this afternoon, upon motion of J. F. Sullivan for the railroad company, Judge McClenehan dis- missed the case on the grounds that there was a lack of evidence to show that the Great Northern was respons- ible for the accident. This is the second time that the case has been taken away from the jury. OPIUM SANDWICH THE LATEST New Wrinkle Discovered in Chinese Restaurants. Chicago, Oct. 24 —The “opium sand- wich” is the latest wrinkle in restau- rant novelties. The price is $1, if you know where to make a tender of the same. The novel scheme for the distribu- tion of the drug was unearthed when Ching Sing, proprietor of a chop suey restaurant on West Randolph street, was arrested. A customer was seen to ernter the place by the watching officers. “Give me a liverwurst sandwich,” the customer told a waiter. As soon as the “liverwurst” sand- wich had been produced the officers took charge of it. The “sandwich” consisted of a sev- eral days’ old bum, with the center hollowed out. Reposing in its interior was. a small package containing opium. A raid was made on the place by a deputy United States marshal and police officials, but the cache where the opium was kept was not found. SUES "RAILWAY PRESIDENT James Dunsmuir Wants an Account- ing in Vancouver Mines. ‘Winnipeg, Oct. 24—James Duns- muir, former governor of British Co- lumbia, has entered an action for $1,- 000,000 against William Mackenzie, president of the Canadian Northern railway, for an accounting since tak- ing over the Dunsmuir mines on Van- couver island. Poe in the Hall of Fame. New Yerk, Oct. 24.—Edgar Allan Poe is at last in the Hall of Fame. Years of efforts on the part of stanch supporters to get his name added to the list was rewarded by the an- - nouncement of Dr. John H. McCrack- en, chairman of the senate of New mentioned and then they are| York university, that the author of 5 X *®| “The Raven” simply Stanton men. L, A.| he Baven” with ted others, had been accorded this honor. BEMIDJI SELECTED AS POSTAL SAVING TOWN OulyPlace in Mimesota to Thus be Honored be Government’s Board of Trustees. POSTMASTER ERICKSON PLEASED Believes Distinction Which Thus Won Reflects Deserved Credit Upon Town. Bemidji has received the distinct- ion of having been designated as one of the 48 second class post offices to become a postal savings bank, and the only one in the state of Minne- sota. Bemidji was approved as the proper place for the government to test out this new system at a meeting of the board of trustees Saturday and Postmaster Erickson will be officially notified within the next few days. “The selection of Bemidji as a postal savings office speaks for it- self,” said Postmaster Erickson to- day, “and we, of course, take some pride in having been selected as Postmaster General Hitchcock has all along imsisted that only offices conducted in first class shape would be considered in making up this list. I take no credit, person- ally, but I do feel that our boys have won an honor that is a credit to Bemidji and to Minnesota.” The only other officers announced for. the Northwest are those at Dead- wood, S. D., and Wahpeton, N. D. The list includes but one office for each state and territory. Itis expected that the Bemidji savings department, together with the other 47, will begin operation by the first of the year. It is probable that the plans de- vised for the new postal savings system will be given at least a month’s trial before others are added to the list. Owing to the smallness of the appropriation for this work, it has been impossible to establish the savings banks during the first year in the large city post offices. Com- munities were chosen in which the conditions were exceptionally favorable. FEW ATTEND 6. A, R, SUPPER Camp Fire Success But Public Fails to Aid Monument Fund. “Speaking for myself asa man who served four years to save the union to posterity, I can only say that the attendance of the public at our public supper to raise funds for a soldiers’ monument in the cemetery here indicated that the present generation is not inclined to show much gratitude for what the Boys in Bluedid in ’61.” This is what Judge T. H. Pendergast, who admitted was “redheaded” over the slim attendance, had to say of the G. A. R. and Ladies of the G. A. R. gather- ing in Odd Fellows hall here Satur- day afternoon and evening. Tie pro- ceeds of the supper served from 5:30 until 9 p. m. were not so large asit bad been hoped. The campfire itself was a notable gathering. It followed the mustering in of a squad of eight into the Be- midji post. Addresses were made by Adjutant General Clark and Judge L. G. Pendergast of St. Paul and Past Commanders Wood, Neill and Colonel Lang of Cass Lake. The Ladies of the G. A. R. held an important business meeting and annual inspection by Mrs, Emma J. Wicks of Duluth resulted in praise for the splendid condition of the Be- midji organization. Infantile Paralysis Epidemlc. Marshalltown, Ia., Oct. 24.—Infantile paralysis has broken out afresh in Grundy county and in the northern part of this county. Albert Sprecht, aged twenty-three years, died of the disease near Conrad. Eleven cases, weven of which are in one family, are reported mear Grundy Center. " ISTORICA
