STONER WILL RUN
Last Nights Caucus in No Wise
Affects His Candidacy
For Mayor.

M. d. Stoner authorizes the
announcement that the result OF
last nights caucus in no wise eff
fects his candidacy for mayor.
He has received renew ed pledges
of support from his friends and
has new offers of assistance from
various quarters, and he will
make a vigorous campaign.
While recognizing Mayor Lud-
ington's worth and stl ength he
entered upon the campaign in
the belief, backed by Mr.. Lud-
ington's repeated word that he
would under no circumstances
be a candidate, and he feels that
it is now too late to withdraw.
He will wage a vigorous cam
paign and his friends express
the utmost confidence in the re-
suit.

KEEPING CORPSES
Said an up Line Town Keeps Dead
Bodies of Paupers Until Spring
For Burial.

A we'll known gentleman who
has just returned from trip up
the north line tells very sensa-
tional story to the effect that the
corpses of two woodsmen who
died early in the winter at an up
line town are being kept in a
small shed awaiting the opening
Of spring, when they may be
more conveniently buried than at
the present time. tits said that
owing to the depth of the frost in
the ground the digging of a
grave is something of a hardship,
50 the bodies are being kept un-
til spring.

A Pie Social.

The Presbyterian ladies have
planned a novel entertainment
for tomorrow evening in the
shape Of a pie social. Every lady
is requested to bring pie.tFhe
pies will be auctioned off and the
Pioneer understands the baker
of =the-pie- goes with it. These
Presbyterian socials have-been
uniform successes and the
auction will doubtless lend much
merriment to the social planned
for tomorrow evening. The social
will be held at the church at 8
o'clock.

Bemidji Contractors Expect
Unusual Activity During
the Coming Season.
SEVERAL BUSINESS BLOCKS
WILL BE BUILT.
Many Residences Planned In
- Various Parts of
The City.

The contractors of Bemidji are
planning on a very busy season.
The present outlook is very fav.
orable for great activity in
building circles. The property
owners in every part Of the city
are figuring on erecting resi-.
dences, from small cottages to
substantial dwellings which will
provide for the needs of large
families. For the past few years
it has been more or less of a diff
cult matter to rent a house in
this city, as the increase in the
transient population has more
than kept pace with the building.
Building operations will not be
confined to the residence portion
of the city alone. In the bust
ness district there will also be
great activity in that line. Plans
have already been asked for
buildings to decorate many of the
best business locations in the
city and all portions of the city
will experience substantial i'm
provements. Before the end of
the season, Bemidji will have
grown materially in this respect,
and the carpenters are assured
all the work they can do,

PRESENT COUNCIL
NAMED
Present Administration NOM
mated for Re-Elec-
ton to a Man.
A TICKET PLEDGED TO PR.
YATE INTERESTS FAILS.
Caucus One Of the Largest Ever
Held in the Village
of Be midi.

When the village caucus was
called to order by Mayor Ludlng'
ton last night every seat in the
courJ room at the court house
was taken and the isles were
crowded and the corridors
thronged with citizens.
AS rumored and reported in
last evenings Pioneer, it was
generally understood that the
opposition to M. D. Stoner had
abandon ed all attempt to place
in the field a ticket pledged to
their interests and had resolved
to stand for the nomination OF
the present council without ex-
ception. This fact insured their
nomination and robbed the eau
Gus Of any ele ment of contest.
The friends of M. D. Stoner were
present III large hunters, DuO
made no attempt to secure his
nomination and it is understood
that Mr.. Stoner will run on an
independent ticket.
P. J. Russell was named for
chairman and was elected by a
practically unanimous vote. Jay
Z. Reynolds was made secretary.
Mr.. Russell then took the floor
and a brief eulogy of Mayor Lud-
ington and the present admins.
tration placed Mr.. Ludington in
nomination for mayor. There
being no opposition manifested
Mr.. Ludington was declared the
unanimous choice of the cauc US
for mayor. In the same way
Councilmen Graham, Bowser and
Hazen and Recorder Bailey were
chosen. Constable j. P. Hen
messy was nominated by acclima
ton. For Justice of the peace
Z. G. Pendergast received 106,
"A. Gilmore 81, and D. H. Fisk 40.
"A fight developed alsoon assessor
but J. 3. Cahill won handily on
the first ballot.
After the nominations were
complete and people began to
leave the hall L. H. Bailey made
a speech, devoted principally to
defending himself on charge of
having approached various per-
sons and demanded from them
pledges. Mr.. Bailey made much
of the fact he was charged in
last eveningsPioneer with having
solicited a pledge from MI. BOW
ser. This was purely an error
which origin ated from informa-
ton given the Pioneer by a
friend of Mr.. Bowser's. The
statement was made in both the
heading and the body of the
article. Before publication how
ever Mr.. Bowser was seen and
he emphatically denied that he
had been approached by Mr..
Bailey or anyone else The body
of the article was then corrected
to agree with Mr.. Bowser's
denial but the fact that the charge
was contained in the heading was
over looked. 1t does Mr.. Bailey
an injustice aud the Pioneer is
glad to state the true facts in the

were brought here for trial before
Justice J. B. Champe. where they
waived examination and gave bond for
their appearance before the criminal
court and also not to violate the pro

license matters. The fight, so the
attorney for the company said, was
really against the West Virginia Brew

do sorc of saloon business in every
county in the State with only their
brewers license. The MOntagueS say
they propose TO continue selling and
the parties who Swore out the war

arrest them. so a situation may be
reached in Boomer that TO say the
least is strenuous.
