The Bemidji daily pioneer. [volume] (Bemidji, Minn.) 1904-1971, 1905-11-01

Next to the charter election
yesterday was the best day that
the people of Bemidji have seen
for a long time. The second
body blow for good government
was struck yesterday when more
| than a hundred illegal voters
were prevented from registering
in the fourth ward.
From noon until five in the af-
ternoon steady stream of
foaters and hangers on, men
who are transient here on their
way to the woods, was sent to
the fourth ward polling place.
Certain members of the police
force, together with other lead
ers and workers of the Bailey
Mcdonald faction, we're exceed.
ingly busy upon the streets
gathering up these men and
sending them to the polling
place. When they faced the
judges, however, it was found
that illegal registration was not
such an easy thing. No better
election board eyer sat than that
which wrestled with the problem
of illegal voters in the fourth
ward yesterday. Every man
not known to be legal resident
of the city was closely ques-
toned; if his answers were
satisfactory his name was
registered; if not he was put
!, upon his oath. When confronted
with this test many turned away
and abandoned the attempt to
register.
The number ofvotes registered
| in the fourth ward is 1914. Had it
not been for the firm stand of
the judges for right it is es-
timated fully $50 votes would
have been registered. The actual
number who we're turned away
was about rs. Fully as many
| more doubtless made no attempt
to register when they found that
the law was to be strictly en-.
forced.
There are perhaps a few legal
voters of the ward not regis
tered. These persons will have
no trouble in swearing in their
votes election day. It's esti:
mated by those who watched the
registration carefully that there
are from 25 to 40 illegal voters
registered in the fourth ward
despite the vigilance of the
judges. Steps will be taken
which will make it an exceeding.
lily serious matter for any OF
these to attempt to cast their
votes next Tuesday.
AS a result of their failure .tc
register some 200 illegal voters,
Mr.. Carriers supporters are
feeling exceedingly downcast to.
day. They begin to realize that
attem pting to thwart the will OF
the people cannot always be
made a success and that sscarry
ing the town any time we want
to, = as they have so often boast
ed, is a thing Of the past.
The result of yesterday
registration insures the election
of Mr.. Gibbons for mayor by q
majority which will vary little
either way from the majority
received by the charter last
month.

BALL TEAM HUSTLING
Are Making Efforts to Land
a Team of Winners.

At meeting held at the star
grocery Monday evening baseball
took decided jump and it now be-
gins to look as though Greeley VIII
have the fastest team in its history
not even barring the old time Grays.
Charles Lofrgen was elected manager
and +. f. Bevan assistant manager.
James Graham, an old league player
with vast experience, has been ap-
pointed captain of the team and
will be tower of strength to the
team. Two or three new players
will be Secured to build the team
into the fastest in the state.
j. f. Level of Ord, Nebraska, tie
fastest short stop in that state last
season, will in all probability be
secured to take Weir's place, made
vacant by his going away. Marsh,
the old time Greeley favorite may
also be secured. Others will be en-
gagged if it is found necessary.
Manager Lofgren intends to make
the team winner and, of cOulse,
needs all assistance possible to make
both ends meet and to support his
team. a big dance will be given at
the Armory hall on the 23d which
will be the event of the season and
to which everybody interested in
seeing good team should buy tickets
of the solicitors, regardless of
whether they attend or not.
The officers elected at a previous
meeting are still in force and will
remain so during the season, with A.
Peralto, president; Charles Lofgren,
manager and secretary, and c. r.
Weber, treasurer.
A practice game will be PLAYED
at Island Grove park Sunday with
the Eaton Eagles, to which no admis-
sion will be charged.

Instrumentation provided for his Or
ganization by Innes has really made
it almost an orchestra, and has per-
mitted it so to invade the hitherto
sacred field of the strings that it
plays symphonic numbers right from
the original scores, and in such fash
ion that no expert can say where the
band leaves off and the orchestra
begins. This is peculiar to the Innes
organization alone and its character
istics are such that it has become IA
nous along this line as much as for
sensational, so-called Legitimate"
band work. Its ability to shift from
orchestral to lighter numbers with a
mere wave of the directors hand
puts it equally at home in either
field, and establishes it as thing
apart in the musical world. With
it's corps of costumed anvil beaters,
it's 10 Instrumental soloists, headed
by the wonderful cornetist, Kryl, and
it's half dozen vocalists, among them
the world-famous Nine. Partridge,
no wonder that its transcontinental
tour has created veritable furore so
far, and that its appearance here is
eagerly anticipated with much de-
light.

continent and returned, making a writ
ten report of his discovery. The report
still exists. It was Translated into

gave a narrative Of a voyage eastward
by a priest for 10000 Ii, where he found
a country which he named Fusang.
People similar to the Indians were de-
