Coach Carson of the Bemidji high school foot ball tedm yesterday re- celved a letter from Coach Roemer of Crookston stating that the Crooks- ton team would be unable to fill the engagement -with Bemidji high next Saturday. Roemer states that three Crookston men are down in their 'subjects. The team is crippled so badly that it would be useless to meet as strong opponents as Bemidji. One Crooks- ton party that was in Bemidji re- cently atated that Crookston had heard that Bemidji had taken some men from the saw mill and started them in to school so as to be able to play in the Crookston game. This is not so, however, as every man in the Bemidji team are regular mem- bers of the schiool. Peck started in school some time ago but he was not taken from the mills but came of his own accord. This game will not count against Bemidji for the champ- ionship because when a team forfeits a game the game is counted for the opponents. Last year Bemidji filled their en- gagement with Crookston on their grounds - although Bemidji’s three best players were out of the game for various reasoms. - Coach Carson will try to induce Grand Rapids to come here next Sat- urday as the Bemidji team is confi- dent of victory if given a chance. If Grand Rapids comes the cooking class will give a big supper in honor of the visitors and dance afterwards. Basket ball will start immediately after foot ball season has closed here in Bemidji. Class games of great in- terest will be pulled off this year as a silver loving cup will be given to the class-which develops - the team. Every class has excellent ma- terial and all are bound to do their The best players will be picked from these teams and started to work im- mediately after Christmas in devel- oping a first team to meet out side .opponents. TWO IMPORTANT PROMOTIONS. Joe Herman, formerly one of the bookkeepers in the Northern Nation- al Bank and Marc Adams, who has held a similar position in the First National Bank, have each been pro- moted to be cashiers of line banks. Mr. Herman has already gone to Little Fork where he succeeds Nels Muus. Mr. and Mrs. Adams will go to Big Falls Monday where he will succeed A. E. Peterson. Mr. Peter- son will go to Big Fork to open a new bank. Marc Adams has been a resident of Bemidji for nearly three years and three months ago was married in Little Falls. Since then Mr. and Mrs. Adams have been making their home on Minnesota avenue. Their residence will be occupied by Mr. and Mrs. A. E. Nelson during the winter. MAY PIAY GHAND mAPIS| @112, by American Press Association. The Smile That Won’t Come Off. BULLETINS OUTSIDE RETURNS (By United Press). St. Paul, Nov. 6.—The presidential vote at noon was Wilson 39,422; Roosevelt 34,748, Taft 27,512. U. S. Senator —Nelson 10.417, Lawler 9,878. .Governor—Eberhart 31,758, Ringdal 23,795, Collins 6,636. Lieutenant Governor — Burnquist 9,122, Powers 8,555, Brown slightly leading Stanton for chief justice of the supreme court. Congressman— Fourth district —F. C. Stevens re- elected. St Pgul — Bulletin 11 a. m. — m;. fi!{fll in the lead on Teturns i Several men on’ t.he state Republican ticket are having a close fight and the matter is not yet at all settled. Wilson has probably carried Minnesota. Grand Forks—Louis B. Hanna will carry North Dakota for governor by plurality of 2,000 to 5,000 over Hell- strom, the Democratic candidate. Alberguerque, -N. M. — Congress- man George Curry was fatally in- jured im an auto accident near Alma, Gordo county, last night. Chicago — The indications here ‘this afternoon are that Roosevelt has swept Illinois and will have a plur- ality of close to 100,000 votes. “Uncle Joe” Cannon has been de- feated. MUSKRATS WOULD SAVE SKINS. Muskrats ‘always given to select- ing building sites near lake prop- erty, are declared to be building bet- ter houses this year than last. By wishbone weather prognosticatiors this is taken to indicate a cold} open mean that tliese little animals are taking greater precautions to save their skins. The necessity was not so urgent in 1893, when a muskrat skin brought from five to ten cents as compared with present prices, sixty to seventy .cents. Comparison of prices now and in 1893-4, made by the Northwestern Hide & Fur company of Minaeapolis, show a great advance in the value of pelts of fur-bearing animals. Mink, then sold for $1.65, now bring $8; skunk skins have advanced from $1 each to $4; yinx skins now bring $30 as com- pared with $7 nineteen years ago. WARNING TO WATER USERS. City Mains Contain Lake Water and “Housekeepers Should Be Careful. During yesterday’s fire it became necessary to pump water from the leke into the water mains and as a Tesult the mains throughout the city will be somewhat contaminated with impure. water. Doctor L. A. Ward, city health officer has issued the fol- lowing . caution: “Boil all water used for drinking purposes out of the city mains during the next week. The water is not considered pure and housekeepers should take every pre- caution.” " Steps have already been taken by some of the business men to ask the city council to prepare for a more adequate water supply. At the pres- ent. time it is understood that the city” has but one good pure water ng well and that this is en- inadequate has been recently winter.

On the face of the returns in at the Pioneer office at 2 p. m., George French will be the only county offi- cial not returned to the office. He will also be the only Republican can- didate on either the state or county ticket to lose in Beltrami county. At the present time, Mr. French is run- ning far behind his ticket and Gefl has a slight lead. Friends of Jim Harris and C. O. Moon are surprised at the: yaee he- tween the two.
