"’ King Outfit Gorgeous. The state carriage ifn which*their majesties rode, and which was a veritable dream in artistic gold and blue enameling, was drawn by eight | white horses, with outljiders in uni- forms of scarlet and gold. by Two hundred, life gnards ifi" their '.magniflcekx’lt tniforms and mounted supon,blick chargers cleared the way “for the procession. = Immediately behind marched Colonial deétach- ments. All branches ef ~the two servicgsyiweére ‘?—epresented ih the ling! T The route of the procession was from Buckingham Palace up Con- stitution Hill and thence by way of Piccadilly, St. James’s Street Pall Mall Trafalgar Square, The Strand Fleet Street, Ludgate Hill, St. Paul’s Churchyard, Queen Victoria Street and King William Street to London Bridge, where the proeession passed over into Southwark. Guarded by 50,000 Troops. Fifty thousand troops lined the route and at every important street intersection there was stationed a military band, which played the national anthem as the royal car- riage passed. Back of the troops were the spectators, a veritable sea of faces, men, women and children, enthusiastic almost to wildness. Never before, probably, had a British sovereign received a more cordial greeting at the hands of his or her subjects. The roar started at the moment that the King and Queen descended the steps of the palace to their carriage, and it last- ed until their return. Horse Trod on Flowers. It was a popular reception in every sense of the word. Myriads of dainty white handkerchiefs fluttered in the air on either side of the fashionable avenues through = which the pro- cession passed in its early stages and seemed to keep time with the hoarse cheering of the masculine element, Wwhile children tossed out nosegays and basket full of loose flowers, only to be trampled under the feet of the horses or crushed under the Wwheels of the carriages. ‘When the carriage turned into Piccadilly a large number of mem- bers of the Stock Exchange who oc- cupid a special stand sang Rule Brittania with telling effect. A little further on was a large stand occupied exclusively by Americans. Other stands and windows were filled With hundred of Canadians, who cheered enthusiastically and waved their bags as their majesties came in view. The queen seemed especially pleased with the loyal demonstration by the representatives of the great overseas dominion and acknowledged the greeting by a graceful inclina- tion of her head.

HOLDS FUNKLEY IN BAD LIGHT Declares All Have Given Aid, With Exception of the Resigned Coun- ty Attorney. DOCTOR AS EXPLOSIVE EXPERT Despite Assertion of Prosecution Thaw‘ Can Prove This, Friends Remain Faithful. | “We are awaiting the return of Mr. Fullerton from St. Paul, before moving in the more serious phases of the Dumas case with which we still have to do and which involves prominent persons in Bemidji and Cass Lake,” said J. C. Fielding, as- sistant superintendent for the Pink- erton Detective Agency, here today: Mr. Fielding said that State Fire Marshal Charles Keller would come to Bemidji with Mr. Fullerton to~ morrow morning and that the reason ?h\ey did not arrive this morning was that importauy. developmeni e sitated their presencd elsewlfére than i Bemidji.” Mr. Fielding’ wowld not say whether the staté'fire marshal and his deputy,were In-St. Paul or some -other point. 15 Hands One to Funkley. “You can also deny emphatically the rumor that there is any discord between us and_either the city or county officials or with' any citizens in Bemidji. “We have received all possible aid from all of the officials with the ex- ception of Henry Funkley, recently resigned as county attorney, and we appreciate’ this and the co-operation of the people hereabouts. “We have found the better class of people here the most genial and hos- pitable we have ever met. We are highly pleased with the manner in which everything is going.” His Hobby Explosives, Dr. Dumas, in printed interviews, has been quoted as saying that he knows nothing of the ways of “yegg- men,” and that as far ag explosives were concerned he had no inside in- formation, except what he would naturally learn in school work. The state fire marshal’'s office claims that no less than a dozen wit- nesses will be produced who will testify that one of the doctor’s hob- bies has been a boasted knowledge of high explosives and how to safe- ly handle them, an dthe habits and methods of the work of yeggmen. Dumas Friends Faithful, The wonderful lack of nervousness and admirable self-control of Dr. Dumas, in the face of charges which if proven true will land him in the penitentiary is such that many of his fell townsmen at Cass Lake ex- press doubt as to the truth of the claims made by the state fire mar- shal’s office. The doctor continues pleasant and unruffled and asserting his inocence and absolute confidence that when he springs what he calls his “trump cards” he will have no trouble in proving that he is inno- cent. While no admission is made by the detective it is known that some convincing statements have been se- cured within the past five hours, and that these will be given ont soon, Nature is wearing velvet this year. Even pessimists can see the bright side of a silver dollar. What some lawyers don’t know isn’t worth lying about. A man has to have a strong pull to equal that of a dull razor. Many of us are too busy with what we have to do to have the blues.

Imitation is often flattery. the cheapest Marriage is a condition with some people and a habit with others. Take care of today if you expect tomorrow to take care of you. Some people are too careful of what they say ever to say anything. A man may hate to make his own living, but he dosen’t hate to live it. Sometimes an imitation makes much greater display than the real thing. The women that flatter men’s vanity are the ones that have the best time. The less a man is certain of the more he is apt to indulge in vapid utterances. It is often easier for a pretty girl to draw attention than it is for her to hold it. When you let your tongue run away with you, you often find diffi- culty in getting back. = When we think Fortune is about to smile on us she just grins and passes on the other side. Intuition is the thing that tells you when to stay at home in tae | interest of of opportunity.

Fall River, Mass., June 23—Pres- ident Taft paid a brief visit to Fall River today and delivered an ad- dress in connection with the cele- bration of the 100th anniversary of the beginning of the cotton manufac- turing industry in New England. The man who has food for reflec- tion seldom has stomach for it. It is easy enough to have a hand in a good thing if you can get close esnough to it to touch it. You can tell just by looking at some people that their guardian angels are having a hard time. The reason that so few persons get rich quick is because there are many that have the same ever. Economy is a thing you do now in order that you may not have to do something worse some other time. proved a Isgder on the waters pf Be-f down the Mississippi river to the{a GOVERNOR WILTS “ON HAZEN CASE Cornered By Peterson, He Shows White Feather By Ignoring Ser- ious Charges.

This leaves the Hazen charges in the hands of the attorney gemeral who refuses to give an opinion on them and this with a complete back down on the part of the governor leaves Mr. Peterson depending en- tirely upon the criminal courts for further procedure. “LOVEFEST” SOCIAL PLANNED Judge Stanton to Speak at Event in Honor of Sweden’s Long Day. Bemidji will have a celebration tomorrow evening in honor of the fact that, at the present time, there is but an hour’s darkness in Sweden. It is an ancient custom in Sweden to observe June 24 when the light of the lingering sun of the far latitude all but penetrates every one of the 24 hours. It is known as “Love Fest” day. It is in honor of this ancient festival that the young people’s society of the Bemidji Swedish Lutheran church will cele- brate by giving a social in the grove opposite-the court house on Beltrami avenue tomorrow evening.
