Resolutions OF Coincidence.

Whereas, Our beloved Neighbor,
John Washburn, was on the 9th day
of October, 1908, by decree of our
ruling providence, called from his
earthly sufferings to a home where

members of the lodge fully realize
that they have lost one of their
number who was at all times imbued
with the pure principles OF the order,
and whose life and conduct suffers
no reproach to be on his character
either as Samaritan, fellow citizen,
husband and father; Resolved that
the sincere and heartfelt sympathies
of the members of the lodge are
hereby extended to the bereaved
widow and family of our deceased
Neighbor whose loss we deeply
mourn; Resolved that as token of
our love and esteem for our deceased

lutions be spread on the minutes of
the lodge and a copy be sent to the
family of the deceased and also be

The Bemidji Sunday school is in
splendid condition, financially, has a
neat surplus in the treasury and also
has building fund.
Mrs. ]. H. Crouch is superintend-
ent of the school and Mr.. George D.
White is secretary. There are twelve
classes in this school, including the
primary classes, with a very efficient
corps of teachers.
In addition to the regular Sunday
school there is a Home Department
for those who are unable to attend
Sunday school. Miss Slough is
superintendent of the Home depart
ment. There is also a cradle roll
for infants in which department there
are some forty or fifty enrolled.
In presenting the banner to Mrs.
J. H. Crouch, E. F. Fegenstrom,
state superintendent of Baptist Sum-
day schools, said
Eight years ago, Bemidji had the
worst looking Baptist Sunday school
I ever saw. Now, for the past four
years Bemidji has had the leading
Baptist Sunday school in the state.
The moral atmosphere of Bemidji
has improved wonderfully in the last
few years and the town which bore a
bad reputation morally is fast com.
to the front ranks as one of the best
Sunday school communities in the
} state"

CHARACTER ASSASSINS
ASSISTING B. F. WRIGHT
Some Friends CD of Mr.. Wright Said
to Be Circulating Stories Concern
ing His Opponent.

1t has come to the Pioneer, from
sources of undoubted reliability,
that some of the ardent supporters
of B. F. Wright, republican candi-
date for judge of the Fifteenth Judi
cial district, have commenced a
vigorous campaign of -slinging
against Mr.. Wright's opponent, c..
w. Stanton of this city-in fact, the
tactics resemble those used in the
recent Thwing campaign by friends
of the latter.
1t is likely that some of the men
who were back of Mr.. Thwing in
his campaign for the republican
nomination before the primaries
have allied themselves to Mr.. Wright
and are determined to start another
disreputable line of attack on the
opponent of Mr.. Wright, hoping, by
electing Mr.. Wright, to further their
own individual interests.
Such contemplate methods of
campaigning are beneath the notice
of any self-respecting voter, and it is
a certainty that such action will but
react on the candidate whom this
class of vultures support.
The Pioneer has always had the
greatest respect for Mr.. Wright;
there is nothing in his public OF
private life that is anything but
highly moral and respectable; but il

ALDERMAN GEORGE RHEA
ON WONDERS IN MISSOURI
Some" Apples, Mules and FIeas in
''Show-Me" State Would Have .
Startled Ananias.

George Rhea, teller of the Lum-
bermens National Bank of this city,
is telling some wonderful tales in
connection with his recent trip to
Missouri, where he spent a two
weeks vacation.
Mr.. Rhea brought back an apple
with him, and displayed it too,
which measures fifteen inches in
diameter. Mr.. Rhea tells US that he
saw the largest mules in Missouri
that he ever had the pleasure of
viewing and declares that the long
cared, tough-skinned "brutes" are
equ lied only by the monstrous and
tenacious animals which roam that
section of the country under the
name of the mississippi Aea."
Mr.. Rhea gravely told US that
heas are used for hunting game there
instead of dogs, as the average
canine is unable to endure the excru-
ciating torture heaped upon it by
this animal with its proboscis-like
beak. However. Mr.. Rhea was
unable to produce any specimens of
the flea so we leave the reader to
judge of the veracity of his state
ment.
From another source, however,
we learn that the principal habitat
of the aforesaid feas is the razor
back swine, which is another native
of the "show-me" state.
