1t was a great exhibition.
There was a high dive, a balloon
ascension, leap the gap, and a
genuine war dance, all inside one
enclosure. And Charley Scheers,
editor of the Akeley Tribune, sat
in the grand stand and smiled
serenely while We suffered.
Butnot todlgress;th game was
all Akeley. Coleman, the Indian
pitcher, was simply invincible.
He allowed but three scratch hits,
struck out six, and hit one man.
His teammates made but one
error behind him, and did some
of the greatest fielding ever seen
in Bemidji.
The visitors got fifteen hits,
and that not being sufficient, Be-
midi made fifteen errors. Every
mem Der of the local team went
to pieces and the fans groaned.
Charity to Bemidji forbids
further discussion of the game.
They simply had an ''off" day.

The Afm0anh ere.

Even if it were possible for man to
live without breathing air he could not
exist on the earth if it were without an
atmosphere. Plants derive carbon, the
most important element Of their food,
from the air, and without plants there
could be no food for animals and there
fore no human beings. Water also
comes from the atmosphere, but if
there We're no water there could be
neither plants nor animals If food and
water could be supplied in some other
way the world would still be unhabit-
able by plants and animals owing to
the severity of the cold. Without an at
mosphere there would be no winds and
consequently no waves or ocean cur
rents. The sea-if we may suppose one
to have been supplied by some un-
known cause-would be a stagnant
pool, uninkabitable by seaweed or fish

The Floor of the Pacific.

The red clay which covers the deep
floors of the Pacific and the Indian
oceans is made up of refuse and residue
that which can withstand the strong
chemical action of the gases. In it
may be found decomposed volcanic
rock, pumice, zeolitic crystals, man
ganese oxides, meteoric iron, teeth of
sharks and ear bones Of whales. Few
II any shore deposits are apparent in it.
The rock is vitreous refuse, belched
forth by subterranean or insular vol.
canoes. The minerals are supposed to
be of cosmic origin-planetary dust and
meteoric fragments that have fallen
into the sea and have become disinte-
grated. The great quantity of sharks
teeth remains quite unaccounted for
at least their apparent gathering to-
gether in these ocean basins is consid-
cred very strange.-J. c. Van Dyke in

It would be difficult to convince even

"strong handed reform" does not in

The Ball In Lawn Tennis.

1t is a curious fact that every book
written on lawn tennis cautions the
player to keep his eyes on the ball at
the moment of striking it, yet there are
very few expert players who do So

looks at the pins, and a billiard player

exact height of the net, the direction of

Mrs. TrOdler Laid to Rest.

The funeral of Mrs. Charles
Trodler was held yesterday
afternoon at the Trodler home,
Rey. Thomas Broomfeld having
charge of the services. A choir
rendered some appropriate
hymns, and Rev. Mr.. Broomfeld
spoke briefly, after which the
body was inferred in Greenwood

ing a member of the order, and
we're as follows: J. J. Ellis, C. L.
Atwood, Frank Wagner, M. E
Carson, Ole Mulligan and E. L.
Naylor. A number of the mem
bers of the lodge also acted as an
escort, which we're followed to
the last resting place by a large
number of sympathizing friends.
Mrs. Trodler was 70 years of
age, and seven years ago came
from Akeley to Bemidji, where
she has resided since. She
leaves two daughters; Miss
Augusta, who lives here, and
Mrs. Celia Denard of Monroe,

Saturday evening and returned
home on that nights passenger.
Mr.. Kohl states that Cass Lake is
enjoying better times, right now,
than have prevailed there for
several years. The newly organ
lied commercial club is doing
much good for the town, and the
people there are beginning to
work together tremendously. If
the Lydick allotment is annexed
to the village, according to Mr..
Kohl, it will be of great benefit to
the entire community, and do
away entirely with the small
strife and dissension that has
prevailed there ever since the
village was organized. They are
making preparations to royalty
entertain the editors and their
families of the Northwestern
Editorial association, who will
visit Cass Lake next Saturday
afternoon, and among other good
things in store is a moonlight

Mr.. Stoner states that they
are prepared to go down as far as
$50 feet, or farther, if necessary
to secure a good supply of water
sufficient to establish the system.
When the we'll is completed,
Mr.. Stoner will ascertain what
kind of material will be the best
for the class of we'll they may be
able to establish and will recon-
mend the purchase of machinery.
The village council of Kelliher
is working in harmony with Mr..
Stoner and will accept his rec

A Missing Five Franc Piece.

Fully half the grownup people of
France believe the old story that Napo-
leon Bonaparte put check for 100000
francs in silver five franc piece and
that the coin is yet in circulation. They
say that the people did not want the
five franc piece and that in order to
create a demand for it Napoleon re-
sorted to the device mentioned. The
check or treasury order, it is said, was
written upon asbestus paper and in
closed in the metal at the time the coin
was made. Thousands of five franc
pieces are annually broken open and
have been so inspected since the story
of the check was first circulated.

NO CHARGES HAVE BEEN
MADE AGAINST ANYBODY
Coroner's Inquest Will Be Held
to Determine the Cause
Of Death.

The dead body of Archie Cam
eron, a lum berjack, was found in
a room of the Labree hotel, at
Houpt, yesterday morning, about
Z O'Clock. Cameron was lying
under the bed and had apparently
been dead but a few moments.
The cause of death is unknown.
Cameron got off the M. 4 |.
train at Houpt Saturday evening,
in a fighting. jag condition, and
began using the most vile and
profane language while going to
the BERGMAN hotel. EdisonBere.
man, proprietor of the hotel and
saloon, requested Cameron to
cease his vile talk, and was
answered by a volley of filthy
names that would arouse the ire
of the most peaceable citizen.
Bereman prevented Cameron
entering his place again, and the
former went up town, vowing he
would return with a "bunch" and
clean out Bereman's saloon, and
shouting that he would click Ed.
Bereman before morning."
He returned with some COM
panions and again started a row
with Bereman. The latter put
him out of the saloon and Cam
eron was hit during the mix-up.
Outside the building, Cameron
picked second fight, with B. T..
Brady,and fell of the porch. His
movements after leaving the
hotel are unknown, except that
he occupied a room in the La bree
hotel, where his dead body was
found in the morning.
DR.. Ward of Northome, deputy
coroner of Itasca county, went
to Houpt and examined the body,
stating that he could not deter.
mine what had been the cause of
death. George H. Spear, county
attorney of Itasca county, is ex-
pected from Grand Rapids this
afternoon and will hold an in
quest at Houpt tomorrow.

coming in in a manner that in
dicates growing rivalry among

lie is likely to hear little else
but the great contest being
carried on for the diamond ring
and the gold watch offered by
the Com mercial club. ISL
Miss Leila Solberg and her
friends have been the most active,
so far, and Miss Solberg is still
in the load with $50 votes, out
the friends of both Miss Mabel
McTaggart and Miss Dora Hazen
have also been quietly at work
ard they have turned in a batch
of votes. Miss McTaggart is in
second place with $50 votes,
while Miss Hazen follows close
after with 300.
The contest is just starting,
and doubtless there will be
several other entries within the
next few days. All three of the
young ladies now entered are
enthusiastic over the contest
and their friends are commence
ing to get aroused to action.
All are immensely popular and
will draw their support from
wide circles.
Miss Anna Mcconnell, who was
entered in the race by an en-
thusiastic friend Friday, has
announced that she does not
desire to, run, and has asked the
Pioneer to withdraw her name
and request her friends to give
their support to one or more of
the other candidates.
The two prizes are at present
on display in the front window
of the Lumbermens National
bank and are arousing much
favorable comment. The diamond
ring, which goes as first prize
to the lady receiving the highest
mum Der of votes, is as hand
some a piece of jewelry as can
be found in the city, and the
solid gold watch, which will be
given as a second prize to the
one getting the second highest
number of votes, is a timepiece
that is we'll worth securing.
The votes now stand:
