FunkIey Is Handsome.

Henry Funkley, when seen by the
Pioneer reporter at his office this
morning, was in a very depressed
and melancholy mood He seemed
to be bordering as to how to
solve some perplexing proposition.
When aroused by the reporter, Mr..
Funkley made the following state
ment.
Yes, was thinking about politics;
and I wish I was, homely instead of
good looking. I simply can not
keep my picture cards posted, be-
cause the young ladies take them
down as fast as I put them up and
hide them in the bottom of their
trunks"

minnes0ta's Great Fair.

In making your plans for the next
month you can hardly afford to
overlook the fact that the Minnesota
state fair, the greatest show of its
kind on the continent. will take
place at Hamline Aug 81 to Sept. S,
and that it will be bigger and better
than ever before. ~
There is no need of exaggeration
in describing the Minnesota state
fair. It is credit to the North
Star state that it should have the
best state fair in the country, and
this fact is generally conceded. But
one other agricultural fair in America
even approaches it, and that is the
Toronto show, which it is necessary
to assign to second place.
The, fair is truly representative Of
the whole state, Of all its people. of
The Bemidji daily pioneer. [volume] (Bemidji, Minn.) 1904-1971, 1908-08-21

Is
all its industries and Of all its
resources. It has always been that,
but this year, under the initiative of
C. N. Cosgrove and his assistasts, it
will be bigger and more entertain
ing exhibit than it has ever been
before. Because this is the semi
centennial of statehood special effort
has been made, and the result is
certain to be a truly marvellous
exposition of Minnesota's vast
wealth and progress.
The state fair has always had the
liberal support of the people of
Minnesota, and this will furnish no
exception to the rule. It deserves
popular support, but state pride
alone would not provide 1t; it's sup
port comes because it is worth
patronizing, and because it is not
only instructive but vastly enter
tanning.

CONFERENCE AT THE
PRESIDENTS HOME
New York GoVern0rship Subject
Of Consideration.

Oyster Bay, N. Y, Aug. 21.-Repub-
ican national politics are being subor-
dinated to consideration of the New
York governorship at one of the most
important conferences that has been
held at Sycamore Hill this season.
The first visit which James S. Sher-
man, the Republican candidate for
vice president, has made to President
Roosevelt since the convention was
the occasion for gathering Of num-
Der of other figures prominent in Re-
publican circles. Among these were
Chairman Frank H. Hitchcock of the
Republican national committee, Rep
resentative William S. Bennett, w. w.
Cocks, William J. Youngs, United
States district attorney for the East
ern New York district; George j..
Smith, formerly member of con-
gress and recently appointed treas
urer of the state committee; Robert
Bacon, assistant secretary of state,
and Michael J. Dady of Brooklyn.
Captain Cameron MGR. Winslow, COM
mander of the battleship New Hamp-
shire, also was at Sycamore Hill.
Chairman Hitchcock has listened to
party leaders and prominent Repub-
Hcans of the state whether they are
for or against the denomination of
Governor Hughes. The indications
are that some conclusion has been
reached in the mind Of Mr.. Hitchcock.
The preponderance of the evidence
which he will submit to the president
is thought to be in favor of the reten-
ton of Governor Hughes at the head
of Republican affairs in this state.

Wave of Reaction Threatens to Break
Out in Persia.
Teheran, Persia, Aug. 21.-The Rus
sian influence in the Persian capital is
being exerted quietly but firmly against
the wave of reaction which threatens
to follow the dissolution of parliament.
M. Hartwig, the Russian minister, who
has made it practice to abstain from
Intervention in the internal affairs of
Persia, had an audience with the shah
and advised him as friend to put
check on the fanatic mullah, Sheik
Fazlulla, who has been delivering re-
dictionary addresses to gatherings of
the lower classes in Dzhami mosque.
The sheik appeals to the passions and
endeavors to incite to excuses which
might result dangerously to Europeans.
One of his arguments is that the con-
st1tution conflicts with the religion Of.
the land. He has urged also that there
be general strike on the day of the
next elections.
The shah at once forbade Fazlulla
to continue his speeches under pain
Of the most severe punishment.

MORAL STATUS or THIS
COMMUNITY IMPROVING.
Judging from the Number Of Inmates
at Present Occupying County
Jail.

The moral status of the criminal
element of Beltrami county is the
highest that it has been in several
months, as evinced by the number
of prisoners in the county Jail.
There are now thirteen prisoners
confined to the local county bastile,
two are from Koochiching county,
two are city prisoners, and the
remaining nine are from Beltrami
county.
One of the Koochlching men is
serving out a sentence and the other
was bound over until the October
term of the district court at Internal
tional Falls.
The two Bemidji men are serving
sentences.
OF the nine Beltrami county
men, three are awaiting hearings,
three are doing time, two are bound
over to the September term of the
district court in this city, and one
is being held over from the March
term of court.
This record is considerably better
than at the same time last year,
when there were twenty-six prisoners
