Bemidji K. of P. Team Defeated Their
BIackduck Brothers---Bemidji Req

Blackduck, August 81. (Spe.

was "Bemidji Day" at the county
fair, and there was a large crowd
of people here from the county
seat. The BemldJi band came
along with the special train from
the south and enlivened the day
with some fine musical selections.
Hon. Halvor Steenerson, con.
gressman from the Ninth dis
trlct, delivered a speech at 1870
in the forenoon. He spoke of the
early days in the north half of
the state and Of the wonderful
development Of this region dur.
ing the past few years. He COM
plimented Beltrami county on
the enterprise shown by her cit
liens in getting up a county fair,
and referred briefly to the agri-
cultural possibilities Of this CON-
munity. He was heartily ap-
plauded.
The baseball game between
the Bemidji and DIackduck K. of
+. lodges was a one sided con-
test and was easily won by the
Bemidji knights, by a score of IS
to 1. But five innings were
played. Rutledge pitched for
Bemidji and Lapel caught. For
four innings, not a Blackjack
player scored. Rutledge was
forced to retire at the end of the
fourth, on account of illness, and
LeGore pitched the last inning,
when there was a let-up all
around by Bemidji and Black
duck was allowed to score four
times.
The game Of ball between the
Bemidji and Blackduck regular
teams was one Of the hardest
fought games yet played be-
tween these two scrappy teams,

CRAVE MENACE SEEN IN
THE BUTTERFLY INVASION
Pretty Insect Said to Be Forerunner oi
Army Worm, Which Destroys
the Trees.

According to some authorities,
the north half of the state is in a
fair way to be invaded by the
dreaded army worm, the destroy
er of forests.
The Crookston Journal says,
concerning the matter:
"The people all over the north
country are amazed at the enor-
nous hordes of pretty, dainty
butterflies that are filing the air
in clouds and alighting upon the
trees of the city. But the but
tertly which looks so dainty now
will in time give way to a vaster
horde of army worms which will
eat out whole forests and make
the mig htiest trees bare like in
winter. "
"The butterflies that are now
herding upon the branches of the
trees are in fact laying a chain of
eggs about the trunks which will
hatch next year into the army
worm.
''The nol th country has had
these worms in the past and many
of the old residents well remem-
ber them. They, however, do
not touch any of the grains nor
injure the iaarzests of the farmer.
Their latitude is entirely within
the forest. S. far as known
there is no way Of Kidding the
forest of these pests except by
burning the trees upon which
they are seen to breed the most. =
Recently the Journal sent a
specimen of the butterflies to the
entomologlst. A. S. Ruggles, Of
that departmentment said in re-
ply to the letter containing the
specimen:
eff Lam not greally 3 mistaken,
the butterfly sentis the Monarch
butterfly, the caterpillars or lar
vac of which feed upon the milk
weed. These butterflies cannot
stand our northern winter, So
they go north for the sum mer
;snd go back in the autumn. This
northern migration is accomp.
lished as follows: The female
butterfly follows the spring
northward as it advances. When
the ,milkweed shows itself she
deposits her eggs upon it. These
eggs ,hsach into the zebrt-like
caterfy, which eventually chang
es into a butterfly, and it flies as
far north as possible. Thus
brood after brood is produced,
each one getting farther north,
until late in the season we find
them as far north as Hudson bay.
Taen when the, weather 'hegins
to get cool these emigraat butt44E.
flies gather in great focks aud
move back to the south. As the
caterpillars of this species live
entirely upon.the milkweed, there
is evidently not the slightest dan.
ger to be feared from them"

E6GER STEPS OUT.
Salmon Bank Affairs to Be Set
tied in U. S. Court.

The Clinton Democrat says:
After a conference of Salmon Bank
Receiver Egger, his attorneys, Mann
4 Daniel, and creditors, who brought
the receut action decided adversely
to them by Judge Pollock, it was de-
cided not to appeal the case or con.
tinue the fight.
The real work Of winding up the
estate has already been delayed too
long, and IL is realized that further
contention In the courts among cred.
itors would be disastrous to their in.
terests. Accordingly the decree ol
Judge Pollock will be quietly accept
ed and the time for an appeal, next
Monday, will be permitted to pass
without action.
The course Of procedure will be
when q temporary or permanent
trustee 10 appointed, such Office, will
20 before Circuit Judge Denton ask a
formal order upon Receiver Egger to
turn over the estate to the trustee in
Bankruptcy. Such request will, ol
course, be granted. Recsiver Eggez
will thereupon make his anal settle.
ment with the court, and after pay.
ing all claims, turn over all property
OF the bankrupt bank to the trustee
in Bankruptcy.

CONSTRUCTION Of
ENTWORTH STOPS
NO RUSH WORK WANTED AT
GREAT H0STELRY
Proprietor Would Rather Have Tem-
h porary Roof and First Glass
Work Than Building With
Cracks
Pasadena Agency,
i6lA East Colorado Street.
Telephone Main 1852.


PAS DENA, Nov. 14.-General Went
worth announces this evening that
work on the new Hotel Wentworth
will stop very shortly, that instead of
carrying the building up to its full
eight stories he will consider it finished
for now at the sixth story and that
IA temporary roof will be put on for this
winter season
The building is to be ultimately eight
stories, and it has been hoped for some
time to finish the structure i'm time
for. opening on or about Christmas.
General Wentworth finds that TO open
on that date or anywhere near it will
mean too much rush work and so, like
any prudent manager, he has decided
to discontinue construction for the
winter and take it up again next spring.
Today the building was carefully in
spected from basement to highest COM
pleted point and not one single crack,
no matter how small, was discovered.
With such particularly fine work
done this far General Wentworth did
not wish to have any rushing at the
end OF the construction, hence his de-
termination to postpone matters for a
few months.
Even discontinued at the sixth floor
the enormous hotel will be one of the
hotel wonders of the world.
Its $50 suites will undoubtedly be
filled even on its initial season and the
furnishings shortly to be installed will
make it one of the most completely
equipped of any in the country. In
this land of magnificent hotels the
Wentworth will even be noticeable for
its lavish expenditure and beauty.
General wentworth states most em-
phatically that there is no intention to
discontinue construction and leave the
hotel but six stories in height save
for a few months.
He says that the original plans will
be carried to completion without fail
but that 1t is thought best to stop work
for the winter while there is no chance
of finishing up things in time for Inc
season and yet doing everything In
the most workman-like manner
