Mackenzie today made public the program for the Northern Minnesota Development association convention which is to be held in this city on December 8 and 9. The program makes it plain that reapportionment is to have its inning, | thus opening the way for the intro- duction of a resolution calling upon the governor to convene the legisla- ture this winter in eXtraordinary ses- sion. Editor to Start It. Under the topic “Justice to North- ern Counties,” Alvah Eastman, edi- tor of the St. Cloud Journal-Press will open the reapportionment ques- tion which will be followed by a dis- cussion to be led by Representative Cleon T.

The number of persons on the pro- gram who are open champions of an extra session for reapportionment is causing comment. Editor George F. Silk of Pine River and Editor C. F. Mahnke of Moose Lake are both strongly urging an extra session as also is Representative Knapp and Ed- itor Eastman has not directly opposed such plan. It is expected that there will be some interesting developments in the good roads discussion as Representa- tive Robert C. Dunn and Senator J. T. Elwell will participate. . Mr. Dunn has recently attacked the Elwell law as being highly impractical. Another interesting sidelight of the program is that Alvah Eastman’s friends will improve the opportunity to boom him for governor. | Rev. S. E. P.

The amopnt of money often expend- ed by the wealthy Romans on their sumptuous meals appears fabulous. Vitellius is said to bave spent as much as.404 sestertia {about £4,228 of Eng- lish money) on his daily supper, and the celebrated feast to which he in- vited his brother cost no less than | £40,350. 1t consisted of 2.000 different dishes of fish and 7,000 of fowls, witl other equal'y numerous meats.: His daily food was of the most rare and exquisite nature. The deserts of Lyhia the shores of Spain, the, waters of the Carpathian sea and even the coasts and forests of Britain were diligently- searched for dainties to supply his table, and had he reigned long be would, observes Josephus, have ex- hausted the great opulence of the Tlo- man empire.—London Standard.

Patterson will go on trial upon the charge of having murdered September 25 last. The death of Pat- terson, 26 years old, was the culmi- 4+nation of domestic infelicity. Pat- terson’s mother is the principal of one of Chicago’s public schools and his. brother, Harry, is one of the counsel for the International Harvest- er Company. While roller-skating in the winter of 1908, when he won the championship of Illinois, Charles be- came acquainted with Gertrude Gib- son, a handsome girl a few years old- er than he. It was the girl who pro; posed marriage and the boy was only too willing to accept. Confessions which his young wife made to him concerning her former relations to Emil W. Strouss, changed young Pat- terson’s life from happiness to mis- ery. Only a few months after her marriage to Patterson Gertrude Pat- rope, where, it is said, she traveled several months with Mr. Strouss. When Gertrude Patterson returned from Europe, her husband took her back. Patterson’s health, however, failed so rapidly that he went to Den- ver. His wife, on September 10 filed a suit for divorce, charging cruelty and about a week later Patterson filed a suit in Chicago against Strouss asking $25,000 damages for alienat- ing his wife’s affections. On the af- ternoon of September 25 last Mrs. Patterson asked for an interview with her husband, hoping to induce him to withdraw his suit against Strouss. During an altercation Mrs. Patterson, it is charged, shot and killed her husband with a revolver, firing two bullets in his back. She was arrested and pleaded not guilty and claimed that she had fired in self defense. | YOUNG m FEAR FOR DINNER Unless Prompt Response From 20! More is Made Event is Off.

Invitations! were sent out:early this week and the response has not been entirely satis-{ factory to those behind the movement and it was decided today that unless: more interest is manifested no dinner will be given. s 1 L kil ot ERRS, SAYS REY. O'DWYER Report That He is to Go to Cohasset Premature; Might Even Remain Across Atlantic. THANKS HIS BEMIDJI FRIENDS Rev. Father John O'Dwyer, in a communication corrects the report that he may return from Ireland to take charge of thei@ohasset parish showing it torbe premature and inti- mates that possibly he will:continue his church work across the Atlantic. Father O’'Dwyer’s letter to the Pio- neer follows: “My Dear Editor and Esteemed Friends of Pioneer: For the last six years 1 have received every kind of courtesy and kindness from your staff. 1 beg to return you all my sincere thanks and grateful remem- brance. “Also ‘'kindly return my thanks through your columns to the good people of Bemidji of all denomina- tions who have so generously assist- ed me in my arduous work. For all this I feel grateful and my only re- gret is to sever friendship with such a good people. “Permit me now, dear editor, to absolutely deny one statement in your last issue, namely, “That I am appointed pastor of Cohasset, Minn.” Such an appointment is not within my sphere, every appointment de- pends on the free volition of the bish- op. As yet no bishop is consulted with regard to my future arrange- ments. Therefore your informant sadly errs. “Whether my future labors may be continued on the other side of the Atlantic, I know not. “I trust, editor, you will have the kindness to insert this for me, and thus show my thanks and apprecia- tion of the good people of Bemidji. “Sincerely yours, “Rev. John O’'Dwyer.” TWENTY FARMERS“MEET HERE Declde ta Hold Series Gatherings to ‘each Creamery Work."

Because the men are better fed and iup to weight, Bemidji, above all oth- or towns In' the state, outside of St. -Paul, *-Minueapolls and ‘Duluth, is looked upon with favor by the Unit- ed States government as a recruiting station for the marine corps. Lieutenant Robert L. Denig, United States Marine Corps, has arrived from St. Paul to make arrangements for Episcopalians to Give Entertainment | opening a recruiting station here. Bemidji is in the Minnesota district, headquarters of which is located at St. Paul. Outside the three larger Minnesota cities, Fargo and Grand Forks, N. D., are in this district. Marines enlisted here are sent to Seattle for three months and are then sent to Guam, Hawaiian Islands or the Philippines, after which they are likely to be assigned to China, a battalioh of 300 at present being sta- tioned in the turbulent city of Pekin. in. “We like Bemidji,” said Lieut. De- nig, “because we have found many recruits here in the past—42 in one month, and because it is a noticable fact that of the many men examined in this district, a remarkably low percentage have been found under- weight, the inference being that the people here are bettr fd than in many rceruiting fields. Dr. E. H. Marcum has been ap- | pointed the examining physician. The recruiting office will be located in the {Huffman, Harris & Reynolds insur- ance building on Beltrami avenue, op- posite the Markham ‘hotel. As soon as possible a Marine from the St. Paul office will be appointed to have charge of the station here. Men who enlist in the marine do so for a four year service. The lowest salary paid is $15.50 a month to- gether with clothing, lodging, food and medical attention. As high as $79.50 is paid specially trained mar- ines.
