little Emma Linton Canterbury Dead.

lltue Emma Linton Canterbury Uead'
Died at the home of her parents
in the city yesterday, little Emma
Linton Canterbury, aged thirteen
months, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
George Canterbury of Bemidji.
The little one had been sick for
several days, growing rapidly worse
until death relieved her sufferings,
yesterday.
And Oh. when aweary. may we be SO blest.
Andlsink. like the innocent child to rest.
And feel ourselves clasped to the Infinite
breast.
Thus over a happy home the
shadow of a little grave has fallen;
and, as another has said, it is
wonderful how long a shadow a
little grave can throw.
This beautiful baby life was so
precious, so frought with blessing to
her parents that she seemed a flower
of paradise PERMITTED to bloom for a
brief season by their side, then re-
called to its nature skies, leaving
the earth road from them dark and
lonely indeed.
And then the messenger came from
the unseen lands to claim the dainty
darling as his own.
She only crossed her little hands.
She only looked more meek and fair.
We parted back her silken hair,
We wove the roses around her brow.
White buds. the summers drifted snow,
Wrapt her from head to foot in flowers.
And thus she went out of this world of ours.
The funeral will be held tomorrow
afternoon at $50 o'clock at the
Canterbury residence and Rev.
White and Rev. Mcleod of Brain
erd will have charge of the SER
vices, Rev. Mcleod being a brother
of Mrs. Canterbury.

clerk. and that gentleman should
have attended to 1t.
We have our doubts but what if
anything of a serious nature should
come up in connection with the
city clerk that the city could ever
recover from the clerk, as the
bond might possibly be lost.
Perhaps this is the. reason for
having but one key to the safe or
cupboard" in the city council
chambers and that the city clerk
wishes to be the only custodian OF
his own, as we'll as the treasurer's,
bond for serving in the two most
important offices of the city govern
ment.
We do not wonder that the clerk
fights so strenuously to dictate to
the members of the council and
hangs tenaciously to the keys of
his Office.
AS a taxpayer of the city, the
Pioneer suggests to City Clerk
Maloy that he record wit h
the register of deeds of Beltrami
county his bond as city clerk of
Bemidji, also the bond Of the treas
urer, as provided by the charter.
This is no reflection on the
bondsmen who have placed their
names on the bond of the city
clerk as his surety; but a man who
knows so much of city government,
and who poses as the dictator to the
council, should first put himself in
a position to lie gally serve in office
before becoming an authority on
city government.
LATER-Thea above was written
last evening, and we are informed
that someone tipped off" to the
clerk yesterday that he had better
comply with the charter and file
his bond with the register of deeds
believing that while the light holds
out to burn, the vilest sinner may
return"
The Pioneer has been aware for
some time that Maloy had not con-
formed with the provisions of the
charter relative to the filing of his
bond, but we desired to see how
long he would neglect to conform
with the law.
If the bond has been filed today,
it is because of the fact, that,
through the information given out
at the Pioneer office, someone has
'wised up'' the old gentleman and
suggested that he get a move on
with that bond.
It would still be we'll for the
members of the council to have
some jurisdiction over the acts of
Clerk Maloy, as it is just possible
that even that worthy (who always
knows where he is at" according to
his ofsring) may occasionally err.

The above is an exact wording
taken from the official copy of the
city charter of the City of Bemidji,
(chapter 3, section 6, Duties
City Clerk'), duly adopted for the
government of the affairs of this
municipality, and makes it incum-
bent upon the city clerk that he re-
cord his bond in the office of the
register of deeds of Beltrami county,;
also, that he record the bond of the
city treasurer with the same records
Up to 3 o'clock today, City Clerk
Maloy has never complied with this
requirement of the charter, although
it is a part of the charter relating to
the specific duties of the clerk, and
could easily be seen by that gentle
man, who boasts of the fact that he
knows where he is at," which boast
has been often repeated during the
past few days by his offspring.
In all sincerity, the Pioneer wishes
to ask the members of the city coun-
Gil if they are doing their full duty
in taking it for granted that City
Clerk Maloy does know where he
is at"
Mr.. Maloy has served as city
clerk since November IA, 1905, hav-
ing gone into office as the first city
clerk under the newly adopted city
charter. He has failed to qualify

quirements of the CITY charter, re-

Success Of Ball Team Brings Joy to

When Hoosiek Falls wins ball

effusion follows:
There's grief and woe DER the buckle
berry line:
There's a panic in Bennington;
There's losing record for a high
priced nine,
Who were trimmed just one to
none.
And the champion team from every
where,
Who came over to trim our boys,
Got left, got swiped, got it good and
square,
And was one of our principal joys.
Six to two-that's the Hoosick sign
That's the score by which we won
There's nothing but pain DER the
huckleberry line,
For they're broke In Bennington.

since last year. With change of
word here and there it will do for
many years 10 come.
Benningtons annual trimmings"
happened this year on August and 8,
and came off, as scheduled, without
hitch. Elated at having won one game
from Hoosick Falls, our Bennington
friends grew so chesty that the
| huckleberry line was pushed over
| toward Walloomsac nearly mile. Our
sprightly and newsy neighbor, the
Banner, sat up and took notice and
described in glowing detail just how
bad and how easily we were going to
be beaten. Our contemporary was
probably buoyed up with the hope
that there was really something in the
aphorism that Its the unexpected
that always happens" In return We
extend our sympathy and such con
dolences as may appropriately fit tic
sorrowful occasion.
Why our annual victims will persist
in assuming that there's the slightest

to be more explicit, why Mrs. Ben

Now, in a spirit of brotherly, sister

this proposition, which we hope our es
teemed contemporary, the Banner,
will acknowledge: We are perfectly
willing to have the Bennington team
come over the line to HOosick Falls

ONE WEEK FROM TODAY
Cole Bros Circus One Of the Best in
the Country.


For years it has been the custom
with circuses to make some one act
feature, advertise it as drawing
card ana then surround it with cheap
and inferior acts. This is not the
plan of the Great Cole Brothers show
which will be at Bennington on Fri
day, August 81.
They feature no particular acts, for
with this show every act is a feature
and any one of these acts would be a
strongly advertised feature with other
shows. What with another show
would be head liner is but an ordi-
nary act with the Great Cole Broth.
ers' Shows. When the show was or
ganized for the present season the
Cole Brothers gave their agents carte
blanche orders in securing the cream
of the circus talent, and that they
were successful is made evident by
the assemblage of the worlds star
artists with this show, European and
American talent contributed the lead
ers of aerial artists, riders, gymnasts,
acrobats, contorionists. leapers, tum-
blers, droll ard funny clowns, trained
animals and in fact. all that goes to
make up circus of such extreme
merit and stupendous magnitude as
the great Cole Brothers show. While
many shows boast of strong European
attractions, and try to convince the
public by using unpronounceable
names for their performers, that this
is the proper form the Cole Brothers
differ with them. America has al
ways and probably always will fur
nish the star performers and best acts
and features. While there are many
European specialties with the great
Cole Brothers show, the very best
acts and leading performers are OF
American origin.

Contest at Morgan Park Yester.
day Afternoon

There was a good crowd at Morgan
park yesterday afternoon to witness
the base ball game between teams
representing the Bennington Electric
company and the local exchange OF
the New England Telephone company
While the electric company had an
advantage In that their members of
the team were young, active ball
players who had been members of fit
ting school and college mines the game
developed considerable real base ball.
THE attempts of some of the players
to catch fly balls and to make, plays
in the infleld were more amusing than
artistic, there were nevertheless many
instances of the real thing.
Both the batteries were composed
of good players. Boughton, who start
ed the game for the electrics hasn't
played for many years, and naturally
didn't last beyond the third inning,
but while he was on the slab he put
'em over" with good effect. Nichols
who succeeded him had good curves
and lots Of speed.
The telephone battery, too, played
good ball. Streeter was touched up
for IA hits but had his infield' been as
strong as that of the opposite team
tn score would have been far differ

probably accounts for the absence of

There were several amusing Incl

sleep on third base in the fifth inning
and didn't wake up until after he had
been touched out. Electrician Mic
hols was also caught OFF first base af-
ter making strenuous run on a

the circle of the bases but was so
Thoroughly winded that he, .wasn,t-of
much use during the remainder of the
game and was obliged to go to bed as
soon as the game was ended Joe
Broadbent made slide for first base
in the second inning that seriously
damaged the diamond
There was lots of fun at all stages
of the game. The contest was hardly
under way before hard shower came
up and thoroughly drenched the play
ers but the crowd in the stand
wouldn't let the boys come off the
field and to a continuous shouting of
