Order Vaccination at Cass Lake.

Cass Lake, JAM, 7.-(Special to
the Pioneer. 1.-The school board of
this place has passed a resolution
whereby the pupils and teachers in
the local schools will be obliged to
be vaccinated. Their action is due
to a communication from the Health
officers, who explained that inasmuch
as the quarantine of smallpox had
been raised, and since there were
one or two cases in the village, it
would be dangerous to the public if
the children were vaccinated. The
school board Immediately passed a
resolution requiring tue vaccination
of children. There are several par
ents in the village who object to
having their children vaccinated.
and claim they cannot be compelled
to, unless an epidemic should break
out. Some of them are determined
to fight the order of the board.

Bemidji people will be interested
in the work which was done by the
authorities of Pembina county, N.
N, in ferreting out the mystery
surrounding the killing of Arthur
LeClaire at Neche, N. D., on the
night of December 22.
Through the efficient work of ].
c. Fielding, Pinkerton detective
from St. Paul, the crime of having
killed young LeClaire was fastened
upon James O'Brien of Neche.
Fielding, by series of gruelling
questionings, secured a confession
from young O'Brien.
Mr.. Fielding was in Bemidii dur.
ing the trials of Wesley and Fourier
who were convicted of having killed
N. O. Dahl, and he did excellent
detective work in those cases.

Grand Rapids Court Adjourned.

Judge M. A. Spooner returned
yesterday afternoon from Grand
Rapids, where he presided at the
term of court which has been. held
during the past three weeks. IT,
All of the jury cases for the pres.
ent term of court for Itasca county
were finished yesterday noon and
the court cases we're adjourned to
March 3.
Mary A. Rosen (alias Mary A.
Whitt) plead guilty to the charge oil
perjury and was sentenced to serve
term of five years in the state pen
itentiary at Saltwater. The Judge
suspended the execution of the sen.
tence for forty-eight hours and there.
after, during the absence of the de-
PENDANT woman from the state Of
Minnesota. .
The Rosen woman, who posed
as the wife of Allen Whit, was the
principal witness in the trial of
Judge Cochran of Deer River, who
was charged with having murdered
Whit. Before the preliminary
hearing of Judge Cochran, George
H. Spear, attorney for Mr.. Cochran,
gave the Rosen woman a gruelling
examination, with the result that
he was convinced that she was lying.
Later, Mr.. Spear secured evidence
in Wisconsin that the woman had
deliberately committed perjury,
and upon the showing of Mr..
Spear, the case. against Judge
Cochran was dismissed and he was
discharged. The woman was after
ward arrested on the charge of
perjury. 1t is said that she has not
hesitated on the order of her going
and is getting out of the state az
fast as the cars can carry her, and
it is the general impression that
she will not again set foot on Min

PROPOSITION LOOKS GOOD
TO CONGRESSMAN TAWNEY
Writes to Son That Offer Made Buy Timber Lands from
Oregon Railroad at $3.50 Per Acre Will
Win Out.

Recently, the Pioneer republished
=. a letter from. Congressman Steiner
son, in which that, gentleman ex.
pressed the belief that the filings
made for certain lands belonging to
the O. & c. railroad, in Oregon,
would not be of any value; in fact,
the congressman was rather inclined
to state that fraud order would be
issued to prevent correspondence in
the mails pertaining to the matter.
Those who have made filings
through a representative will be
pleased to read the following, taken
from the Umpqua Valley News,
published at Roseburg, Oregon:
The matter of filing applications
for railroad land of late has been
going on and there has been much
said relative to this procedure to get
possession of the land at the price
of $3.50 per acre, as is declared by
many the only price the railroad
can demand from those who wish to
purchase. Attorney c.. I. Leayen-
good of this city, is in a receipt of
the following communication from
F. P. Rolfe of the Potlach Lumber
Co., of Idaho, which throws consider
able light on this matter and will be
of interest to the many who have
made applications for railroad land,
The communication is as follows:

A visit to the Offices of Drs.
Larson & Larson reveals the fact
% that these gentlemen have estab-
lished in this city very extensive
machinery for the manufacture of
glasses and eye specialties.
Among the most improved machin-
cry which they have at their offices
is machine used for the purpose
of grinding lenses. Owing to the
great increase in business it has
been necessary for the doctors to
put in this machinery in order
that they may supply their patients
with the latest improved glasses
and spectacles for the eye promptly
when wanted.
Another inducement in having
the lenses ground here is that the
doctors may personally observe the
work of grinding as: it is done,
instead of sending the same to the
factories, where it is just possible
they may be ground effectively.
There is also much delay in
getting complicated lenses ground in
the factories of the larger cities,
which is one of the prime features
in having the lenses ground here.
The doctors believe that there is
sufficient business in this line to
warrant them in installing this
machine.
By using the machine which they
now have, the doctors are enabled
to supply glasses of complicated
