WISHED HE HADN'T
Geo. Armstrong Sorry He Surrender
 ed to Police.

It is seldom that habit seizes so strongly upon a man as to lead him into jail; but that seems to have been the case with George Armstrong; Armstrong claims to be an Indian, hut his complexion looks more Afr- can than that of the red man. Thurs cay afternoon he tanked up on too rluch Thanksgiving punch, and while ir this condition drifted, probably through force of custom, into police station and told the sergeant to lock him up; he was too drunk to be on the streets. His request was compli- ed with promptly.
 When arraigned before Police Judge Toney Friday morning, Arm. strong had had time to mediate the results of his rashness in surrender ing to the police, and expressed re- .gret over the occurrence. He didn't deny that he was drunk, but after Judge Toney had assessed a $3 fine against him he remarked regretfully:
 Judge, think I must be losin' my mind"

Camden, Ark, Dec. 1.-(Special) A battle royal for supremacy be- tween two opposing factions was pre- cipitated on the floor of the Metho- dist annual conference here this morning, when a leading minister of the conference arrested the character of Rev. J. s. Hawkins, pastor of the First Methodist church at Pine Bluff. IL is understood that Rev. Thomas of Texarkana was the challenger of the Pine Bluff minister's character, and sensation was created when he pre- ferred charges of islander and defama- tion of character against Dr. Flaw. kins.
 While necessarily creating a sensa- ton on the floor of the conference and in Methodist circles generally throughout the state. the action of Dr. Thomas was not unlocked for. It came as an aftermath of Dr. Hawkins lecture. delivered in his home city several days ago, inangurating a war fare against certain ministers of the church high in official position, and particularly addressing himself to Dr. Thomas, whom, it will be remember- e1. lie was employed to prosecute at the annual conference at Benton on charges Of concealed identity and falsehood. Dr. Thomas was exonerat- ca at his trial, but Dr. Hawkins claim ed that the matter was whitewashed by the conference, and in his lec- ture at Pine Bluff made sensational al1egat 'ons against Drs Rigg1n and Godbey, two of the most conspicuous characters in Arkansas Methodism. as

With a desire to see phenom- ma he remained up and while lean- lg against the rail witnessing this .ght, something rubbed against him, nd looking down he saw the cap- nn's pet pig, which grunted, and to Is imagination said, "Well, Jack, my oy, what do you make of this?"

INSCRIPTION SIS PER YEAR
School House Bonds.

( &
On Saturday of this week the
people Of Bemidji will be called
upon to decide whether they wish
TO bond the district in the sum
of $4,000 to provide additional
school room.
This matter deserves the
thought Of every tax payer and
every parent. The school is now
renting one room and the steady
increase of pupils makes it i'm
perative that at least two more
teachers be engaged and two
more additional rooms opened
next fall. If the district does
not build this will necessitate
renting two more rooms and the
expense for the rent will be more
than the interest on the bonds.
At the same time, if the district
does not build, it will be COMPEL
ed to put it's children in three i'll
arranged, i'll ventilated inconven-
lent rooms.
There is also one other consi-
Iteration. If the bonds are voted
and additional school room is
provided, a normal department.
may be added to the high school
at absolutely no expense to the
district. Bemidji is remote from
the normals of the state and if
this department is added to the
high school it may be the founda-
ton of an institution which will
in years to come be of great value
to the city. Without a new build
ing, in the present crowded con
dition of the schools, this depart.
ment will be impossible.
The Pioneer understands that
in case the board of education is
authorized to bond, building or
buildings will be erected in some
part of the city distant from the
present central building, Be.
midi now covers a large terri
tory and it is time that some pro
vision be made for ward build
ings.
