Perhaps no series Of sermons
have attracted such public at
tention and created such interes
in Bemidji, as the discourses on
"Msrria ge," which are being de-
livered by the Rev. 1. Peart,
pas tor of the Methodist Episco-
pal church, on Sunday evenings.
The subjects are not being dis
cussed from a minister's view
point, but are the outcome of
sixteen years of experience and
observation in public life.
Heat, temper, or passion has
not entered into either their
preparation or delivery, and they
have been positively free from all
can't and dictatorialism, and
hence have been listened to with
marked attention and com
mended most generously.
"John's Wife" was the theme
last evening, and it is needless
to say the congregation filled the
church, chairs having to be used
to accommodate the people. At
evening service, Miss Ida Brown
sang "Jerusalem," and Mr..
Alldis sang "Face to Face" both
solos being very ably rendered
and we'll received.
Next Sunday evening the
pastor will deliver the fifth SER
mon on wharfage" the subject
being "Mary's Husband"

WARREN BASKETBALL|STS
CLAIM CHAMPIONSHIP
Best in Northern Minnesota, Saws
Crookston Paper Should Play
Game With Bemidji.

The Warren basketball team
last Friday night defeated the
Great Northern team of Gro oks-
ton, at the latter place, by a score
of % to 10. AS a result of the
game, the Crookston Times ac-
knowledges the Warren team as
the champions Of northern Min
nesota, and says: a
1.-The Warren team now claims
the championship of northern
Minnesota as it has defeated
every strong team in this part OF
the country. They have not met
defeat this year in any of the
games that they have played.
Last year they defeated the
basketball team of the university
of North Dakota, and are easily
the strongest team in the north
country. For this reason they
claim the championship and it is
probably theirs without question
as they have now defeated nearly
every team Of basketball players
in northern Minnesota.
Bemidji has a fast basketball
team, the members of which are
a husky lot, and it is possible the
local five could give Warren a
hard fought contest. The Pioneer
suggests that a game be ar.
ranged with the Warren aggre-
cation, and that the latter post
pones it's cham pion claims until
the game with Bemidji is de-
cided.

SUCCESSFUL CREAMERIES
IN CLEARWATER COUNTY
Business Men and Farmers Combine
to Rush Industry Profitable
Alike to Both.
[From Bagley independently

L. t week creameries were
organized at Leon and Weme.
The first meeting of the officers
of the Leon creamery was held
Wednesday of this week at which
time contracts for the machin-
cry and building we're let. Sixty
shares at $500 per share were
sold last week and great many
more are being sold daily. The
creamery industry in Clearwater
county is fast taking the place
of wheat and cordwood which fer
mar, years past has been the
main standby Of the average
farmer. We are Glad to see the
dairy business push forward III
this part of the country which if
properly conducted is a more
profitable business than that of
raising small grain and hauling
wood.
A meeting of the directors of
the Clearwater County Creamery
Association was held Wednesday
at which time the contract for
the building of the ice house was
let to Lars Amur dson, of the
town of Nora, and the cutting of
the ice was awarded to Henry
Pontius. Another meeting will
be held on Saturday March 2, at
1 o'clock p. m. at wi ich time a
good attendance Of farmers is
requested as there's much i'm.
portant business to be trans
acted.

MUCH INTEREST SHOWN IN
WORK OF LOCAL CHURCHES
There Were Large Congregations at all Local Churches
Sunday 1.-The Musical Portions of Services
Most Pleasing Feature of the Day.

A record. breaking crowd as
sem bled at the Presbyterian
church last evening to participate
in the services held at that place
of worship, there having been a
fair-sized congregation at the
church in the morning, also.
The large attendance in the even
ing necessltated the placing of
! 100 extra chairs in the main por.
ton of the building, all of which
were filed, and there were sew
eral who stood in the aisles. In
addition to the sermon delivered
by the pastor, Rev. S. E. P.
White, there was a musical pro.
gram of rare merit. Mr.. Turner
sang a solo, "Glory," with chorus
by the choir, and also sang later,
by request, "Jerusalem" and
"Face to Face" Mr.. Turner's
ability is so we'll known as to
need no commentator from the
Pioneer. Suffice it to say that
the solos we're very fine. The
choir also rendered a fine an
them.
Desc pite the large attendance
at the M. F. and Presby terian
churches, there was fair sized
congregation at the Baptist
church, both morning and even
ing, and the sermons delivered
by Rev. Broomfeld were both
profitable and enjoyable.

Where Cicero Took the Mud.

Marcus Julius Cicero bathed in the
mud Of Lake Aguan 1900 years ago
in order to get rid of the govt The
mud of the standing waters in the dis
trict west of Naples was famous from
early times for the relief of arthritis.
The luxurious high livers Of the inn
perial days knew it's efficacy and no
doubt did their ''cure" there in much
the same rough and ready fashion as
their modern representative does now.
1t is no doubt to the sulphur and
other deposits that the mud of the lit.
tie lakes ON the promontory Of Cumae
owes it's health giving properties, and
as nature works much the same way
now in that region AS she did in the
time of the Caesars the effect upon
twentieth century govt is probably
much the same as when the great Tul-
~ soaked his infamed joints in the
ooze Of the Phlegraeaen fields.

Munich is one OF the most beautiful
cities in Europe, with broad streets,
frequent fountains, many stately stat
ues, numerous open squares, large
wooded parks, a swift river flowing
directly through the center of the
residence section, galleries that contain
several of the finest recollectiOns Of
pictures and sculpture in the world, IL
braries, academies of design, schools
of science, a magnificent opera house,
a theater that was erected exclusively
for the production of Wagner's operas,
and various other attractions which do
not disturb the classic atmosphere,
but appeal to the artist, the student
and whoever seeks for beauty and for
rest. No city Of equal size has SO many
noble monuments and public buildings.
while probably larger number Of
the population OF Munich is engaged
in study and artistic and scientific pur-
suits than may be found in any other
city. The Royal library is one of the
greatest in existence, probably second
only to the British William
E. Curtis in Chicago Record-Herald.

WHETHER or not the rural school
teacher should build her own fire and do
other janitor work about the school
buildings, was one Of the questions that
troubled s)me Of the school board clerks
who attended the first Rock county dis
trict convention of GAINESVILLE. There
we're several who openly expressed them
selves as of the opinion that the teacher,
even if SIZE is but girl not out OF her
teens, should build the fires. One in
stance was given of where teacher by
her ignorance Of such work had burned
down a school house, but the best retort
to the Anticipated school directors was
given by Miss Fessenden OF Evansville,
who said: "Weil, we can build the fires
alright, but YOU can't expect us to do
much teaching ia the little time we have
between holding the stovepipe up aud
keeping the stove door on"
