these cases should be taken care of.
The court has absolute power to
compel the jurors to serve but we
don't think that it will be fair and it
won't be done. We will only try
the pressing cases; that will require
probably today and tomorrow.
The situation is unfortunate but
one that the court has no control
over. The county officers have been
acting under advice from the
attorney-general's office, and as far
as handling the funds now on hand
is concerned, no blame is to be
attached to them.
There seems to have been bad
management under some conditions,
so that the final results will be that
this term of court will have to be
adjourned because the warrant fund

CITIZENS OF SHEVLIN
STILL FIGHTING FIRE
Village Is Threatened BY Fires on the
West, North and East. Also Fires
South Of Bemidji.

Shevlin, Sept. "a. II p. m.-(Spec-
ial to Pioneer)-Dense smoke hangs
over Shevlin like fog darkening
the sun and filling the village with
the smell of burning timber, and
the citizens of this place are all
anxiously waiting the outcome of
the fires which skirt the village
practically on three sides.
The elements are in control of
the situation and there is a sincere
prayer that the wind, which is
blowing from the north, will not
be more violent than at present.
Should the wind spring up strong
there is every possibility that the
town will yet be destroyed by
forest fires. There are fires raging
to the west, north and northeast
of here and although the flames
are not any nearer town than yes
terday, still fears are entertained
that the fire might at any time
start with terrific force towards
town.
The situation is dangerous one
and it is hoped that the fires will
eventually be extinguished.

GOVERNOR SUPPLEMENTS
ORDERINS OUT MILITIA.
Believed Move in Getting Out Local
Company Was Wise, Considering
Threatening Condition.

The calling out of Company K
to assist in fighting fire if needed
on Tuesday was considered wise
act by those who were acquainted
with the conditions which prevailed
Tuesday afternoon.
A wall of flame was rushing
through the northern part of Hub
bard county, near Lake Plantage-
net, and with brisk wind tanning
the fire northward it would not
have taken long to have reached
Bemidji.
The same conditions prevailed
to the northwest of Bemidji, where
fire had been burning for several
days.
The heavy downpour of rain alone
prevented the fire from becoming a
serious menace.
Captain Otto this morning re-
ceived the following letter from Gov
ernor Johnson supplementing the
latter's permission to order out Com

of Benidji in the work of protecting
the city from the ravages of fire.
You are authorized to use your
own discretion and I am sure you will
keep the men in the field until the
danger is over or relief comes from
some other source.
I would suggest that you CON-

Bemidji has been filled with smoke
which has been rolling into the city
from the forest fires all day today
and which has occasioned much
unpleasantness to the visitors at
the fair.
Word from the Jester farm, which
is some six miles south of Bemidj il
is to the effect that there is heavy
smoke all through the country south
ward as we'll as toward Bemid il.
Fire in that vicinity has burned
over a lot of swamp and the rain
Of Tuesday has occasioned the
smoke.
The Jester farm reported a small
fire one mile from the farm, which
is of no particular consequence as
it is burning in some old stumps
which have already been burned
over.
There is no danger to the city
from that direction. 1t cannot be
ascertained just how serious is the
fire which is northwest of this city.
1t is undoubtedly the fire which is
reported burning northwest of
Shevlin.
The fire is undoubtedly burned
out aleady and reports of damage
to farm buildings and timber will be
received later.
While there is smoke in the city
the fires in nowise interfere with the
fair and no apprehension IS felt for
the safety of the city.

JONES GROCERY STORE

By effecting an entrance by tearing
off the screen over the transom,
thieves last night operated in the
Jones Grocery company store on Main
street and stole 30 in change that was
left in the register, pried open cash
drawer under the desk. opened the
drawers Of the private desks, took out
the keys for the back door, made
their escape through the rear Of the
building and left the key in the lock.
The trensom over the front door,
through which the entrance was
made. WAS about seven feet high and
in order for one man to go through
he must have had assistance and
probably stood on the shoulders of an
accomplice. The transom is always
left open by the store management.
Mr.. Mitchell thinks 1t is the work
of boys because if professionals had
entered the store they would have
taken groceries, cigars, etc.
A punch and screw driver were
taken from one of the desk drawers
to pry down the drawer under the
desk. There were q few pennies in
there which were not taken.

Ornament Innovation is the Work Of
French Designers.

The French designers have been us
ing satin ribbon flowers for some time
as a means of trimming - .
This has brought about the fashk,
for extra large roses made of ribbon
and put on skirt or he.center of a
bodice.
These roses are quite effective on
all-black costumes and are gratefully
welcomed by the women who wear
black and do not know how to vary
the gowns.
Satin roses may be applied to net,
to chiffon, to grenadine .and also to
soft liberty cloths.
They are rather heavy and elabo-
rate for coat suits. but they are quite
smart for house gowns. Possibly
they look better on velvet than any
other fabric.

tard favored and tinted with Crane
juice. making sure that the latter is
absolutely unfermented. Heat quart
of milk in double boiler, add half
a cup Of sugar. When dissolved, stir
in two tablespoons of grape juice and
directly after this two tablespoons of
rennet extract, which you can buy at
any first-class grocery. Turn into a
large glass bowl. which has been wet

Serve with whipped cream, in which
candied violets, minced nuts and pull

you can turn the rennet into a mold

gently and fill the hole left by the

MINISTER A TRlFLE MIXED UP.
Consequently There Was an Awkward
Perhaps In Funeral Grafton.

It was at the funeral of a man who
had left his young and attractive help
meet a widow for the third time At
the time of his death their clergyman
was away on European trip. and In
this emergency the Rev. DR.. Blank
was called upon.
A neighbor instructed him hastily
as to the admirable qualities of the
deceased. his benevolence. piety and
kind disposition, and gave him vari-
GUS points as to his family relations.
During the funeral discourse no out
s'der would have suspected that the
clergyman had not been a lifelong
friend Of the dead man. When, how
ever, he came to mention the widow
in his prayer, 1t was evident that his
data in regard to her had become a
Strifle confused. He said:
And now we commend to thy care
this widowed handmade, who has been
bereaved again and again and again
Then hesitating an instant. he added:
And perhaps again."
