Realizing the tremendous interest of our readers in the conference being held in St. Paul today ovér the liquor controversy, the Pioneer sends its editor, F. A. Wilson, to cover the meeting so that the sub- scribers of this paper may learn at the earliest possible moment the de- tails of the consulation. Well, half a lid is better than no lid at all—no matter which way you look at it. Something wrong somewhere. Bagley hasn’t had a new paper for a week. The man who carried off that $17,- 000 express safe in Minneapolis may have decided to do his Christmas shopping early. ¥ Edison’s royalities on moving pictures amount to $8,000. No won- der he doubts the existance of a bet- ter world than this. A Chicago woman is suing a man for $1,000 because, while passing by on the sidewalk, he turned the hose on her. It was her hose, we don’t blame her. In some cities they are now try- ing to teach the boys in public schools how to sew. Probably found it impossible to teach them to saw wood. We deny. the ownership of the ““Pussyfoot Limericks.” Our brother editor at Detroit dashed it off with one had while the other held a foam. ing mug of buttermilk, Although the prices of the upper berth have been reduced, upper berths are just as high a ever. Some satisfaction, however, "in knowing that by the time you have climed into one you are good and sleepy. CHRISTMAS - Now is a good time to be looking about for those places which Santa Claus is apt to miss. If every person who _ would make it 2 point to see that some- thing-is done for the poor of the town to bring cheer to desolate households, it would' indeed be a merry Christmias for all. If anyone doubts that ‘it is more blessed to give® than receive,” let him try the experiment of clothing some poor child whose growing iimbs are stunted by the chill of winter and whose sunken cheeks tell the tale of perpetual hunger. Don’t make the mistake of think- ing none such exist in Bemidji. They are here—as some: good per- sons can bear graphic testimony as the result of recent discoveries. True, we haven’t as many as some towns, but there is enough 'so'that everyone who wishes to be a *“good fellow” can find material to work on. “The Pioneer knows of at least three families where deserving children could be made to clasp their hands in joy on Christmas morning, and the names will be furnished anyone who wishes to hear that kind of | music. THE SALOONS Although his interetation of the word “shortly” may be doubted by some, ‘‘Pussyfoot” Johnson has at last made good his word that he in- tended to close the saloons of Bt/z~ midji. : From any angle one may wish to view the present condition of the liquor industry here, it looms asa large public question, and one in which more than the saloon keepers are interested. Should the courts establish the fact that Bemidji is not within the power of the treaty of 1855, thus restoring licensed traffic in intoxicating beverages, an industry involving thousands of dol- lars will again spring up. £ If it is established that there is no redress in legal proceedings for the liquor men, then Bemidji must abide by that decision, as other | towns have done and adjust her mu- nicipal affairs accordingly. J It is not our purpose atthis time [to argue either in favor of or against the closing of the saloons, but we'do welcome the legal fight now forit will establish the precise rights of our citizens, and the quicker a:de- cision can be obtained the better so that the business of the community may settle to a solid basis, without tbe fear, anxiety and uncertainty which has marked the past few months. , ; The twelve saloonkeepers who have employed able legal talent to |force the question, need have no fear of vindictiveness from the gov- ernment. Secretary Ballinger prac: tically nledged immunity and when Special Agent Brents aceepted serv- ice of the injunction summons he sealed the safety of the saloon men involved, so faras doing business duriog thelife of the injunction is concerned. Alarming rumors that these men | who-have sought to establish their rights in courts would face prose-| cution are built on the hopes of dis- appointed dealers and their calamity howls make a noise very much like | sour grapes.

He had come over from France and had just been asked to give his views on the ancient game-of golf. With much gesticulation he did so. “Ah,” he said, “your game of golf! Yees, I know him. You put on ze tunic 80 red as ze Ingleesh rosbif under- neath done. You strap your sack of sticks on-ze back of s boy twice so small as ze bag. 2 “He scrape a mud pudding to make balance-a leetle white ball.

Then you what you call address ze ball, and, ma foi, your address is some- times of language to make afraid. “You strike, and ze ball find: himself in ze iong grass. “You call aloud for ze nib lunger stick and beat ze ground till your part- ner say. ‘Ho,'chuck it!"

Willing to Chance It. Here the lecturer threw upon: the screen- the portrait of 'a man well known in the financial world. says the Chicago Tribune, “This.” 'he said, “is one of the great captains of finance. I do not need to mention his name. His face is famil- iar to all of you. Look at his corru- gated brow, the furrows in his cheeks. the pouches under his eyes. the deep lines about his mouth. That face, my friends, bears the unmistakable and ineffaceable stamp of care. Ancxiety has marked it indelibly. It shows the traces of sleepless nights, weary days and bitterly fought campaigns. with millions of dollars at stake. . Success brings such a man no huppiuess_. Look at him! How.many of you. my friends, would change places with him? How{" many of you;would be willing to take, his wealth if compelled to assume:the terrible burden of responsibility tha‘ goes with it?” His hearers rose en mass “1 would;?. they shouted fn unigon: His Unfortunate.

I sup- nose you bought some: real estate?” “Yes; 1 bought one lot—just one.” . “That has increased in'value, hasn’t it? 4 ~ “Yes; over 600 per cent.” Fs)s “That was a gocd investment.” | “Not so awfully good. mister.” said the old settler gloomily. *“I paid $10 for it, and it's worth $75 now. but it's in the cemetery.

The Rainbow. : When a ray of sunlight, falls ou''a’| raindrop it is refracted; then ‘part:of the light is reflected from the internal surface and again refracted on leaving the drop. The white sunlight is not only refracted when it enters and leaves the drop, but' dispersion also takes place. The eye sees bright cir- -1 cles of light for each kind of light, and since sunlight is made up of different kinds of homogeneous light we get a series of circular arcs showing the spectrum colors, the red being’outside and the other colors following in the order of descending wave length. The whole constitutes a primary rainbow. A secondary bow is sometimes seen outside the first. This is formed ‘by the light being twice reflected ‘inside the raindrops. The less refrangible 'rays are on the inner side. Rainbows due to still. more" internal reflfsctions are too feeble to be observed.' It is possible to get a white rnlnbnw‘;.lt the sun is clouded or if there is a mixture of raindrops of very different al.f.es.} Literal Lannigan.

Imwediately all. vanished from view. aud he found himself thrown headloug in the ditch.

Cleg- horn ‘in Atlantic. Malay Weapons. The national Malay weapon. the creese, is said to have been invented by a Javanese monarch of the four- teenth century. Its varieties are said to exceed a bundred. and there are in Javapese no fewer than fifty names for them. It varvies in size from the two foot wavy blade of Sulu down to a mere toothpick. But the peculiarity is that the weapon is never ground, but kept rongh and sawlike in edge by scouring with lime juice or the juice of an wunripe pineapple. sometimes mixed with arsenic, aud it'is on this account that c¢reese wounds are so dangerous. Old specimens are so eaten away by this practice that the blade seems formed from a bunch of wires roughly welded up. Such c¢reeses are highly -valued. and some of the ancient ones, heirlooms of chiefs. with gro- tesquely carved and inlaid hilts and sheaths. are almost unpurchasable. A sprained ankle will usually dis- able the injured person for three or four weeks. This is due to the lack of proper treatmeant. When Cham- berlain’s Liniment is applied a cure may be effected in three or four days. - This liniment is one of 'the best and most remarkable prepara- tions in use. Sold by Barkercs Drug Store.
