The second floor contains an im- mense gympasium occupying the south half of the building, which can be viewed from a circular bal- cony running entirely around the third floor of the building. Connect- ed with this is a large shower bath- room for the boys, with a shower bath for girls on the third floor. The no th half of the second floor | is the big auditorium, with a stage large enough to -accommodate any ordinary play, and larger than the stage of the average opera house in a small city. With the balcony seats, which are on an inclined floor, there is a seat- ing capacity of 550, all equipped with seats the counterpart of those used in the auditorium ot the Uni- versity of Chicago. Its necessary chairs can be added to take care. of a crowd of 700 people. The other new building is a woman’s dormitory with two bath rooms on each of the three floors, equipped with both shower baths and bath tubs, the best of iron beds, springs and mattresses, two ward- robes for each room, a big reception room on the first floor, and every modern and sanitary convenience.

SHOT RIDDLED BOY ALL NIGHT ON WATER Cass Lake, Oct. 26—Garrick Ger- man, a seven-year-old boy living with his parents on a homestead about eight miles north of Kitichi lake, was brought to Cass Lake yes- terday, suffering from a gun-shot wound which was inflicted Monday morning. The boy in company with two brothers were walking along the road when they met John Salstrom, 15 years old, who was carrying a shot-gun and which either by acci- dent or otherwise was discharged, the shot striking Garrick’s right foot, mangling it. The wounded boy was carried through the woods about eight miles, reaching a logging camp on Kitichi lake about dark. After considerable delay in locating a launch the trip to Cass Lake by water was begun which lasted all night. The lad’s wound finally was dressed and several shot extracted yesterday by Dr. D. F. Dumas, at Cass Lake, who says the lad will recover after suffering for nearly 24 hours before receiving medical attention. The little boy’s parents are in straightened circumstances and sufficient clothes had to be borrowed from a neighbor before making the trip here.

BEMIDJI, MINNESOTA, WEDNESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 26, 1910. TEN CENTS PER WEEK. GEMIDI CANT GET GAME|SALOONS CLOSE SOON |WHITE SLAVE GASE WONDAY JDENTITY OF CRANE Dares Brsoerd Fotball Tum t Come| DEOLARES JBHNSUN ) and Offers $50. The Bemidji high school football team is weeping for new worlds to conquer. Despite all efforts to induce some team from a northern Minnesota high school to come here on Satur- day of this week, notltum can be found brave enough to tace the Be- midji boys, whose long list of brilliant victories séém te have made them “the terror of tbgnanh.” Efforts to have Tlmi kt.m Falls come over and be almimd were unsuccessful. All eyes were ithen turned on Brainerd but not so much as a checkergame can be seen idithat direction. Bemidji has such a yearming to roll their Brainerd brothers around in the dust that the Pioneer is sath- orized to say that $50 will be paid to the Brainerd high school boys to come. 'A handsome pennant six feet in length has been presented to:the Bemidji team by Mhdson and Ode- gard. The pennant has the word Bemidji in white on a felt back- ground. It has been hung in the high school building. OPERA SEATS REPLAGE PEW Bemidji Baptists Adopt Modern Chairs Modern, automatic opera seats to replace the uncomfortable and old fashioned pew is the innova- tion being introduced by the First Baptist church of this city. An order for 155 opera chairs-to be inplace in the edifice here-by December 5 has: just-been placed. The seats are to be tobacce. brown in color. When an occupant arises the seat automatically folds up. An- other feature, especially desirable for church service, is that the chxirs are noiseless. The purchase of the ‘seats'is made in connection with a general improve- ment of the edifice. The interior will be refinished in colors to har- monize with the seats. A uew foun- dation has been put in, the basement has been rearranged so that a hall for Sunday school and other pur- poses has been provided and a hot air furnace is now being installed by C. E. Battles. It is also probable that stained windows will be installed. All this work is to be completed by Novem- ber 1. FIREMEN PASS OUT GIFTS Mayor Parker Assists in Unique Cere- mony—Lunch is Served. Wedding presents for newly mar- ried members of the Bemidji fire de- partment were passed out at a regu- lar meeting of the ‘department held here last night which ‘was attended by thirty members. Mayor Parker was present and assisted the firemen in their unique custom of distributing gifts ‘to men who have provided themselves with wives. Here is the lucky list: Mr. and Mrs. Charles Dally re. ceived a Mission rocker; Mr. and Mrs, G. A. Hanson, a corner chair; Mr, and Mrs. A. N. Gould, a set of silver knives and forks; Mr. and Mrs. Joe McTaggart, a- hand | painted water pitcher. Admits Plus\lu . l’mhully Complete Whereby Government Will Deal Death Blow to “All.” MATULYS CASE IS DISMISSED Charges of Corruption By Cass Lake Ligquor Dealers Fall Flat Be- fore Judge Ives. Developments. within the past tew days indicate that the govern- ment has perfected ‘revised plans relative to prohibiting the sale of liquor in northern Minnesota and that'a blow is to be strick—how soon - no one will. admit—which will close the doors of more than a hundred saloons. The Pioneer has ' been in pos- session of information tending to confirm the many ‘reports that a sweeping order to close all places in the Indian territory, even to the affected part of St, Paul and Min. neapolis, but it has not been free to publish it. Johnson Talks. Now comes a statement direct from W. F. Johnson, who has had charge of enforcing the Indian bureau treaty, in which he leaves little ‘room for speculation as to what he proposes to do. “You can take it from me that those Cass Lake saloonkeepers, who ubilant over the fact that, cstill doing business have been- cromnz a bit too soon. Sale of Liquor to Stop. “The Cass Lake dealersAND ALL SALOON MEN IN THE FOR- BIDDEN TERRITORY will NOT be selling liquor very much longer. I will not say when this firal action will be taken,-but those interested may as well be prepared to hear something-drop any day.” These plain-words from Mr. John. son seem to confirm all the appre- bension felt for the safety of the saloons. Mr. Johnson would not specify what towns would be hit by the governmental lightning, and when he reiterated thht “all” would be in- cluded there seemed to be no . neces- sity of his being more specific. Bemidji is thus included and the thirty salvons now doing business here would be put out of business. Matulys Case Dismissed. Agents Matulys, arrested. several days ago on a charge of having ac- cepted favors from Cass Lake saloon- keepers, was today dismissed by Judge Ives in that city. Mr, Matulys had a hearing early this afternoon. Attorney K. E. McDonald of this city, appeared for Mr. Matulys. After brief testimony had been introduced, Attorney Mc- Donald moved that the case be dis- missed and Judge Ives granted the motion. Firearms In Russia.

The postponement was granted in order to permit Stebbins to employ counsel and assemble his witnesses. BERMAN GASE ON IN GOURT Jury in Case Against Duluth Brewing Company Completed.

W. Hill of the State Board of Health, who has just completed an investigation, “Of the sixty cases all but six were introduced from the outside,” Dr. Hill said. “Of the six originating there, four developed at a cheap hotel among the lumbermen.” Dr. Hill sounded a note of warn- ing to the bibulous when he said in his letter: “The first case was a bartender and he might have affected others.” Dr. Hill went to Baudette im- mediately following the fire two weeks ago, and found that numerous cases of typhoid had not been re- ported. He continued his investi- gation and found unreported cases in other cities. The Board of Health may take some action ‘against the health officers who were negligent. Masculine Music. The musical doctor stepped into tb shop. His hair stuck out like stiff straws, and his joy of life was under his arm; also two buttons on his waistcoat were undone. So there was no doubt about his being a genius. “Aha, ahem, ahum!” purred the musical doctor. *“E string for a violin, please.”” The man behind the counter looked flustered. He went to the shelf, took off a small packet, examined it care- fully, examined it again and then hes- itatingly returned to the customer. “I beg your pardon, sir,” he began diffidently, “but this ’appens to be my first day in the shop, and yer might give me a little ’elp. The fact is these ‘ere strings look all alike to me, an’ 1 can't tell the ’es from the shest™—Lon don Globe. Hindering the Process. Doctor—Well, John, how are you to- day? John—Verry bad: verry bad.

ROBBERS ESTABLISHED Trio Believed to Have Been Experts From Minneapolis With Wide Re- putation For Crime 2 SECOND THEFT TAKES PLACE Man-Succeeds in Getting Away With Six Pairs Trousers From 0’Leary- Bowser Store. No definite trace has been found of the robbers who entered the T. J. Crane & Co., Third street store early Monday evening, and who es- caped when discovered by Mr. Crane, after they had packed $2,500 worth of furs ready to be carried away. "The robbers took with them $200 worth of French plumes from the millinery department owned by Miss Marie Wallsmith. To get these feathers they ruined several trimmed hats, One of the disappearing robbers was seen by R. L. Given of the Given hardware company. Mr. Given did not know at the time that hnd been committed. He lw;% ‘& yout;z and well dressed man dash around the state bank building A Beltrami and Fourth. The robber ran west on Fourth and dashsd into the alley .by Roe & Markusen’s store. Evidences have been found tend-. ing to the belief that the robbers, three in number, had planned on hiding their loot near the Crane store. This explains the absence of any vehicle in .which_to carry the goods away. Chief Harrington and his men have made a systematic search of the city and has uncovered evidence which converts them to the theory that the men who did the job are from Minneapolis and are experts known throughout the land. A ssupicious circumstance Las the disap- pearance of a man who answers the description of the one seen running by Mr. Given, This man had been hanging out ata “swamp district” resort. He was there all day Monday, but at4 P. M. left and has not since been seen. He had been seen in conference with two other men, both strangers, been unearthed in Late yesterday afternoon a man was taken into custody on the belief that he might have been implicated not only in the Crane robbery but a bold daylight theftin the O’Leary- Bowser store. While this man was looking at a pair of shoes a second man suc- ceeded in getting away with six pairs of high priced trousers. The man apprehended was presumed to have been a confederate of the thiel but he proved his innocence and was released.
