Tt;y Bought the Drinks.

Rather an amusing incident
occurred on Fourth street last
evening. Two men were walking
along the walk between Beltrami
and Minnesota avenues about 7:3O
o'clock when several shrill
whistles rent the air. Remem-
bering the experience Of the
night before, they scented a
second fire and started to run at
top speed toward the city hall.
Several men standing in the
doorway of nearby saloon
watched the sprinting with
smiles that finally broadened in
to loud outlaws. ~...
"Run,'' they shouted, run
hard, they are going to turn on
the lights.''

Made President of Business
Mems Organization at Har.
monious Meeting Last Night.
MEMBERSHIP SWELLED BY
ADDITION OF IL NAMES
Plans Laid for Celebration of
'GlOriOuS'' Though Modest
Fourth"


most harmonious meetings ever
held in the city, the Business
Mems club last night elected G.
Fl. Miles as it's president. The
club first selected eleven direct
ors and the directors picked the
officers. Mr.. Miles received the
highest mum Der of votes for d.
rector, and was the unanimous
choice of the eleven as the leader
of the new organization, which, it
is planned, shall do much for the
building up of Bemidji.
The other officers elected are:
E. A. Schneider, vice president;
George Markham, secretary;
and G. E. Carson, treasurer.
The meeting was the outcome
of the mass meeting held in the
city hall Wednesday and the in
terest being taken in the new
club was manifested in the turn
out, every seat in the council
room being taken and many
being compelled to stand. Much
was accomplished; seventeen
new mem bers were taken into
the club, reports we're made, and
the contemplated Fourth of July
celebration was discussed at
length.
The meeting was called to
order by the president Of the
old club, William Bowser, and
the treasurer, Ii. E. Carson, read
his report on fnancies. His
books show the organization to
be in good shape with a back
balance of $267.48. When the
money taken in last night from
new membership fees is added
the total reaches $4,000.
The election of the eleven
directors followed.
Each member voted for eleven
men and the eleven highest were
declared elected. The result was
as follows; @. H. Miles 20, E. A.
Schneider %, William Bowser 26,
G.. E. Carson %, G.. M. Bacon 22,
George Markham 81, A. A. Carter

ton and Mr.. Brinkman we're tied
and after a lengthy Alphonse and
CASTOR stunt, they drew cuts,

At the meeting of the directors
which followed officers were
elected and a question of having
a celebration on the Fourth was
discussed pro and con. Some of
the members thought that since
the circus comes to town on June
% it would hardly pay to try to
get the crowds in again in so
short a time, but the celebration
sentiment prevailed. -..
A committee to have the cele-
bration in charge was appointed
by the president and was author
lied to collect prizes or money
amounting to $175. It was
figured that this sum would be
sufficient to make a "Glorious
Fourth" in a modest way. The
committee includes, A. A. Carter,
George Markham, David Gill and
J. A. McAvoy.
William Bowser reported that
the constitution and bylaws had
been lost and it Was decided to

Next on the program came the pa

the Vital Question: The Ranch will
give to it's readers the paper in full,
and urges a careful reading of the
same. Quite a discussion followed the
reading of this paper, after which the
session for the afternoon closed with
report from the secretary, showing
the condition of the associations IL
nances. On motion of Mr.. Richards 1t
was decided, before adjournment, to
hold the election of officers in the
evening, preceding the banquet which
was to be rendered the visiting dairy
men that night
The evening session was, probably,
the liveliest of any for the three days.
The question of nominations and the
method of making them came in for
some sharp criticism on the part OF
several members. The committee had
placed in nomination the following per-
sons: For president, d. S. Troy;
president, w. ]. Langdon; secre-
tary-treasurer, Ira P. Whitney; dlrec'
tors, Geo. M. Izett, Oak HarbOr; w. H.
Paulhamus, Sumner; j. L. Smith, Spo-
kane; o. D. Sullivan, Olympia; B. F.
Reed, Ellensburg, and D. F. Sexton,
Snohomish. The officers as nominated
were elected, and of the directors the
first four named received the highest
votes after a close contest.
Mr.. Blanchard had been absent dur
ing the election of the officers, and
after the voting for directors he rose
to protest against the committees
method of procedure, saying the COM
mittee had consulted with no member
of the association save those compos-
ing the committee. He thought the
general audience should have been
consulted. He had no objection to the
gentlemen nominated, as he had the
highest regard for them, but the meth
cd of procedure gave the members in
the hall no voice in the nominations.
These statements brought forth an in

teresting colloquy between the chair
man of the committee and Mr.. Blanch-
ard. Another speaker to enliven the
session in the evening was DR.. Mel
son, who objected to seeing any mem
Der of the State College faculty on the
list of executive officers of the asso-
citation He thought the college and
the association should not mix in such
matters. He frankly admitted that
he was opposed to the selection of
Mr.. Whitney, not that he did not think
we'll of him, but that Mr.. Whitney
was on the faculty of the State Col
lege.
When the storm had quieted down
the gentlemen who had been elected
thanked the association for the hon
ors. Following these remarks, E. l.
Thompson, of Everson, was called on
by the chair to give a history of the
association and the work its has done.
The last event of the days program
was the banquet, to which the mem
bers adjourned after Mr.. Thompson
had delivered his paper.
Third Days Session.
Much of the morning session was
taken up with minor details of bust
ness, including the practical selec-
ton of Spokane for the place of hold
ing the next convention and suggest
ing December 4, and 6, 1906, as the
dates 1t is believed the executive
board will recognize the preference OF
the members by ratifying their action.
With these details out of the way Prof.
Elliott obtained the floor and delivered
an interesting address on "Co-Opera-
tive Creameries in Foreign Lands" He
was peculiarly fitted to handle the sub
ject by reason of his visit in Holland
and other European countries more
than a year ago.
The committee on resolutions had
report to make, which was read and
adopted, and after few remarks by
various members, touching number
of minor details, the meeting ad-
journed for the final session in the
afternoon.

Warsaw Times: From CONVEX
sation with Warsaw people who
are in a position to know. it is
learned that the mail order trade
from Kosciusko county to Chi
cago has fallen off fully fifty per
cent within the past year. The
people are learning by experience
that Warsaw merchants sell
goods just as cheap ais Chicago
mail order houses and that they
handle a better grade of goods
at the same price as the mail or
der house asks for an inferior
quality.
1t is reliable report that the
cheap ranges sold by a certain
mail order house only last a few
years. They warp, and crack, and
burn out as if made of pot met
al. And some of the cream sep
arators are even poorer. One
farmer near Warsaw bought a
cheap separator from a Chicago
mail-order house last March.
Saturday he threw it on the
scrap pile and bought a good one
in Warsaw. .

RICHES ARE NO SIN.
Wealthy Men Can Be Honest
and Religious, Says Presi-
dent Roosevelt.

In a remarkable address made
at Oyster Bay, N. Y, Saturday
in connection with the 200th an
niversary celebration of Christ
Episcopal church, President
Roosevelt made strong plea for
religion and declared that it was
no sin TO be rich. The President
said that man might be mil
lionaire and at the same time be
honest and religious.
The wealth of the nation, he
said, must not be disregarded,
but looked upon as the basis for
spiritual development, clean liv-
ing and civic virtues.
This country would not be
an abode fit for civilized men" "
he said, If it were not true that
we put our material civilization,
our material prosperity, as the
base only upon which to build
the superstructure of the higher
spiritual life. Speaking here to-
day as a layman who is not ex-
pected to go into any question
of dogma or ceremonial, wish
to emphasize the vital import
ance to this nation of our peo-
pie being taught to realize that
the highest value of Christianity
manifests itself in the conduct of
those who profess it.
Il shall read several verses
from the end of the first chapter
|of James:
But be we doors of the word
and not hearers only deceiving
your ownselves.
Fer if any be a nearer of the
word and not a doer, he is like
unto man beholding his natur-
al face in glass.
For he beholdeth himself and
goeth his way and straightway
forgetteth what manner of man
he was.
pure religion and unde6led
before God and the Father is this,
to visit the fatherless and wild
ows in their affliction and to keep
himself unspotted from the
world"
1T is true that in many things
the tendencies at work among us
today are evil, but it is true also
that there are plenty of other
tendencies at work among us
that are good. do not know
that ! am prepared to assent to
the statement. that we are SO
much wosre than we used to be,
but it is not of Importance
whether, as a matter of academ-
ic- belief, we held that thirgs
have grown better or have grown
worse.
what is of vital importance
is that we should be resolved to
do all in our power now at this
present moment as we'll as in the
future-to make them better, and
if we are unit in that belief it is
open to us to differ as regards
the other matter.
"The worth of any creed must
in the long run be judged large
ly by the conduct of those who
profess it. The most effective
service for Christianity that can
possibly be given is to show in
actual life that those who profess
it do give in their conduct an APP
proximate expression to the faith
that is in them"
