BEMIDJI BmBES Editorial - Teléphane, . “THREE-ONE” ‘DORA Mlflml. Soclety Reparter The wind storm of Sunday night, accompanied by a shower of rain did much to carry away the bad odor which has been so pronouneed along the lake shore during the past week. Money to Loan; V. L. Ellis. Sunday was an ideal day both on land and water here. The shores of Lake Bemidji were filled with many picnic parties, several starting out early in the day and remaining un- til dusk. Which class are you in—the Sav- ers or the Spenders? We want you to be in the former and to be inde- pendent. There is no better way to start than with a savings account in the Northern National Bank. . Work began this morning on the laying of a new floor in the compos- ing rooms of the Bemidii Pioneer Publishing company. The lumber used in the floor is three inch hard maple, matched boards. The work is being done by Contractor Thomas Johnson. Brown's Business College is a cer- tainty. Here is an opportunity for the young people to secure a high grade business or shorthand educa- tion at a very nominal expense. A large number have already regis- tered. The school will start August 28. About picnie at 20- young persons gave a Russell’s cottage yesterday in honor of Maude and Grace Me- Cawley. The party left yesterday morning and spent the entire day at the head of the lake. Mrs. McCaw- ley and children will leave tomorrow morning for Winlock, Wash., where they will make their future home. This office holds an order for trans- portation to the extent of $36, good over the route of the Chicago & Du- luth Transportation Company. Good on the new steamer Minnesota from Duluth to Chicago and return includ- ing berth and meals or good for two passengers not including berth and meals. The same is being held for sale for $20. Speak quick if you want this snap. ¥ Mr. and Mrs. A. G. Wedge enter- tained Saturday evening at a launch party. The party was taken around the lake. The guests were Messrs. and Mesdames B. W. Lakin, John Richards, Ed. Netzer, E. H. Denu, W. C. Klein, Mrs. A. E. Hodgson of Crookston, Mrs. Thompson of Lady- smith, Wis.,, Biss Ford of Stewart- ville, Miss Smith of Sioux City, Miss Stene of Ladysmith, Wis., and Mrs. Pray of Akeley. All aboard for the Dam! The Yankee Doodle leaves at 2:30 every day. Mr. and Mrs. E. E. McDonald en- tertained yesterday at a picnic. The Storm King was chartered and the; party was taken up to the north end of the lake where the entire day was spent. The guests included Messrs. and Mesdames B. W. Lakin, R. L. Given, E. H. Denu, F. S. Arnold, H. Sharf, Dr. and Mrs. G. M. Palmer, Mrs. L. H. Bailey, Mrs. Celleyham of Minneapolis, Miss Berg of Little Falls, and Mrs. Lenihan of St. Paul. You are urged to call or telephone A. E. Brown, business college pro- prietor, at the Rex Hotel and ar- range for an interview. Many are doing this and a large number have already enrolled for the beginning of the term, August 28. The little child of Mr. and Mrs. John Hall met with a serious and what might have been a fatal acci- dent Tuesday, stopper from & washing machine full of hot water and scalded its neck and chest. Had the water been but a few degrees hotter, there is no doubt but that it would have caused the death of the baby, but fortunately it es- caped withonly a few bad scars that it will carry for many days to come. —Pequot Enterprise. What have you to trade for new standard piano? Call at second hand store, Odd Fellows Bldg. The C. C. Patten Carnival Com- pany came into town and set up their paraphanelia here Tuesday. They were billed for Walker, but the li- cense asked by that town was so high that they thought they could not afford to pay that amount, and so came in here unannounced. They put on a good show, but as they had no previous advertising in this place and ‘were booked for Pine River Thursday and Friday, they fared rather poorly in Pequot.—Pequot Enterprise. While seated in the round house doorway, Thursday evening of last week, Major Keeley, the G. N. passen- ger engineer, saw a large black bear come out of a small patch of timber and wander about the premises for some time befere disappearing in the brush. The major has provided him- self with a gun and defies Mr. Bruin to make another trespass on Jim Hill's terminal property. Bears are not numerous this year, and have not been since the fire last year, and this is the first one seen near town for some time.—Warroad Plaindealer.

There will be & meeting of Bemid- i1 Chapter this evening at 8 o’clock. Election of officers and other import- ant business. W. A. Currie, H. P, Game Warden Cook made a trip along the south shore the last part of. last week, and found things all right there, as far as fishing is conccerned, except that over at Rainy river where he caught an Indian with an under- sized sturgeon and found a pike at Curry’'s fishery that did not quite measure up to the requirements, which resulted in a couple more fines. He says the fishermen are get- ting in line very nicely in obeying right to the letter the new regula- tions as to size of fish they are al- lowed to” cateh.—Warroad Plain- dealer. The worst hail storm in -the his- tory of the Crookston section - and covering a wide area was experi- enced there Saturday evening from 3 to 6 o'clock. Northwest and south- east from Angus hailstones the size of a walnut could be scooped up by the bucketful and lay on the ground for an hour after the sun came out. Not over 10 per cent of the grain remains uncut, but the corn was bad- 1y stripped in portions of Angus, Ta- bor, Brant, Hogeland and several oth- er townships. Plate glass windows and all small windows were broken at Angus and in farm buildings. The damage to flax is hard to estimate, as it stands more hail than any grain. At the home of Mr. and Mrs. M. 8. Gillette, at 9 o’clock Saturday ev- ening occurred the marriage of Mis: Genevieve Nelson of Reeder, N. D., to Cleveland King, Rev. Chas. H. Flesher officiating. The young peo- ple were attended by Lee King, brother of the groom, and Mrs. M. S. Gillette, matron of honor. The bride wore a gown of white messaline and carried American beauty roses. Im- mediately after the ceremony a wed- ding lunch was served to a few of the intimate friends of the bride and groom. Mr. and Mrs. Kling left on the 11:45 for the Twin Cities and will be gone a week when they will return to Bemidji where they will make their home. Both are well known, the bride having made her home in this city before having moved to Reeder, N. D., and the groom having been employed here for several years. Game Warden Cooke arrived in town Saturday and placed informa- tion against Harry Curry for catch- ing fish under the limit preseribe& by law. Out of a total of seven hun- dred and fifty pounds of fish Mr. Cooke found eight that were under the limit. When they were placed on the scales it was found that their combined weight was three ounces short of the legal weight. Mr. Curry was fined ten dollars and costs. To the average man it appears like splitting hair to cause a person’s ar- rest on such evidence. Harry has al- ways tried to conform with the fish- ery laws and there was no intention on his part to do anything illegal. The fact that he was only three ounces short on hundreds of pounds is sufficient evidence of his good in- tentions, and it is too bad that the black mark incidental to a convie- tion should be placed against him. —Baudette Rainy River Region.

In my travels I visited the jail at Thayet-Myo, in Burma. On the morn- ing of my visit. there bad undoubtedly been an unusual occurrence. A python twenty-two feet long and twenty-eight inches in girth had entered the vege- table garden and crossed it to the fowl pen. Besides the fowls, there were some five ducks in the pen. Now, the front of tbe pen was fenced with dia- mond mesh galvanized wire netting of a strong type. The snake conld not resist a fat duck, 8o, putting its head and neck through the stout diamond frame, it selzed and swallowed one. I have no doubt whatever that it would have “mopped up the bunch” inside the bouse, but that in adjusting No. 1 to make room for No. 2 it became aware of an veasy feeling owing to the wire uround its waist. Neither have I any douybt that in addition to becoming uneasy it became seriously alarmed. Being now nnable either to disgorge or to get away, it tore off the whole section of netting, 6 feet by 8, and re- turned with the necklace or waist- band through the cabbages. Not un- naturally. 1 think, the sentry, seeing "a 6 by 8 foot wire section of fencing marching through the cabbage patch without any visible means of support, gave the alarm and then opened fire. The ‘prison guard rushed out and aiso opened fire, and very, shortly our bero lay dead in his frame. He was skinned and his skin cured and dress- ed.in the jail, where they are noted for this kind of work.—Forest and Stream.
