The German Elections.

The kaiser wins. Yesterdays polling was
signaily In his favor. and the prestige OF

Goodbye to the prophets who predicted
his defeat. Hail to the prophets who pre-

To the outside world this contest meant
Germany's place In the worlds affairs
Local questions and divisions we're little
considered and less understood Was the
kaiser still supreme at home with respect
to foreiga affairs? Would the people by
their votes sustain him in the course he
had laid. and had so long been pursuing?
This was the concern abfoad.,~for Germany

1t was important to know whether the
empire would continue to answer his helm
For awhile longer at least the kaser's
course will remain undisputed He Will
get what lie wants in the way of appro-
priations for his colonial policy, and what
he wants for naval expansion. The two
appropriations go together. Germany must

slender. and only a few "shacks' appear

not appear to be this side the water.
As kaserism is likened to Rooseveltism it
may he mentioned that both win by I'M

Mr.. Lahr desires to hasten the

rear of the lots and had a crew of
men beginning to excavate for the
foundation.
The new block will be 25x64 feet
with basement, two stories, and
finished in pressed brick, and when
completed will cost between $4,000
and $4,000.
It is Mr.. Lahr's intention to use

ton, which will be held in this city
on September 26-27-28.
There has been some hasty com.

evidently talking in good faith, but
lacked information in the matter)
TO the effect that the offering Of
purses for horse races overtopped
every other consideration. This is
wrong. The premium list herewith
given foots up to a total of bIO34.25,
and every premium is liberal when
compared with those given at other
fairs throughout the state.
The list is complete, with 4 few

Good For MilIard.

G. N. Millard has been promoted
to more lucrative branch of the
Sheldon system of banks, and about
the last of the week he will leave
Big Falls to accept the management
of the bank at International Falls,
succeeding the present cashier who
goes to Duluth. Mr.. Skinner of
Bemidji will take charge of the Big
Falls bank. While we rise to con-
gratulate Mr.. Millard for the pro-
motion he so richly deserves, we
join in the general sorrow at losing
him from our business and social
life. For two years he has been
actively identified with every public
movement for the local good, and
his genial comradeship will be sorely
missed from his rank of friends here,
who number practically every one
who knows him. We would rather
record his marriage than his removal
from this village Big Falls Com
pass.
All of which will be pleasing news
to Mr.. Millard's many friends in
Bemidji.
The Bemidji daily pioneer. [volume] (Bemidji, Minn.) 1904-1971, 1907-08-22

of his furniture and undertaking
business. The first floor will be used
for the furniture stock, while the
second floor will be so arranged that
it will make an exceptionally COM
plete suite of undertaking parlors,
which will include the morgue, work
ing room and the show room, and
also a room where funeral services
may be held when desired.
The plans of the building have al
been prepared and accepted and Mr.
Lahr has engaged the services of
John Washburn to erect the block.
When this block and the
Schroeder & Schwandt building are
completed, the appearance of the
Minnesota-Fourth street corner will
have been very materially changed
for the better.
The Bemidji daily pioneer. [volume] (Bemidji, Minn.) 1904-1971, 1907-08-22

exceptions. There will be some
special premiums, among which
will be for a pulling match between
horses, also for the best four-horse
logging team. These will be an.
nounced in full later, and will be
inserted in the regular premium list
book, which will be issued and dis
tributed next week.
The program for the fair is going
to be an attractive one. Among
other attractions already announced,
the secretary has been authorized
to negotiate for two balloon ascen-
sions during the fair, and also for a
number Of paid shows in the grounds,
the latter being conducted on per.
centage basis.
The finance committee is meeting
with good success, and the fair will
undoubtedly be one Of the very
best ever held in this part Of the
northwest.

ing occurred; that she heard three
shots, the detonation of the first,
(Which it is claimed by Godette and
his wife was the shot from Williams
shotgun) being louder than the
other two.
Godette says that as soon as he
saw what he he had done he imme-
diately started for Big Falls to give
himself up to the authorities, and he
asserts that he is desirous and anx-
ious that the truth concerning the
manner in which Williams met his
death shall be fully determined, as
he shot the dead man in self-defense,
his own life being at stake.
Godette claims that one of the
irritating acts committed by
Williams was the recent poisoning
by Williams of his (Godette's)
dog.
Williams was single man, and
had lived here during the past six
years. He operated barber shops
here. at Fort Francis and also Du-
luth, and at one time conducted
restaurant at Crookston. He has a
sister in st. Paul and brother on
the Pacific, coast. He has always
been regarded by most people of Big
Falls as being of a peaceful disposi.
ton.
James Godette has lived on his
homestead, two miles from this
village, for several years, and prior
to coming here was a resident of
Bemidji. Althouge Godette was at
one time pugilist, he had long ago
given up this avocation and has
never committed any wrongful act
in this community.
The trouble over the logging con-
tract has existed for some time, and
there is still litigation in the matter
pending settlement.

ton was in the throes of a Johnstwon
flood, and the story published in the
Pioneer Press and which caused
unfavorable comment on the part of
the business men of Crookston
emananted from the Times Office.
The item in the Times last even
ing which accuses the Journal of
periodical mudslinging" is headed
in big black letters rs Hard Up."
The Journal desires to state that it
is willing to submit a comparison
between its news columns and those
of the Times to the public.
The Journal will admit that it
does not clip column after column
from the Bemidji Pioneer and the
Grand Forks Herald and have the
consumate gall to mark it Special
to the Journal" a practice indulged
in by the Times on wholesale scale.
The Journal does clip literally from
both papers, but there is no attempt
to give the public the impression
that it is red hot news from the
wire when it is the embalmed sort
clipped from another paper and
arriving through the mails.
If the heading of the Times article
had reference to the financial stand
ing of the Journal we would refer
the publisher of the Times to any of
the banks where we believe the
rating of the publisher of the Journal
