Cass Lake, Jan. 27.-(Special to
Pioneer Harry O'Connor, ia
miliar character around here, was
today bound over to the grand jury
at the next term of the district
court to face a charge of larceny.
His bail was fixed at $500. Thus
far he has been unable to secure
a bondsman.
The crime, for which O'Connor
is held, was committed here yester-
day, the charge being made by Pat
rick O'Shea, a lumberjack.
It appears that the two were out
for "a little time" and O'Connor ran
shy on money. The lumberjack
had a five dollar bill and he gave it
to O'Connor to purchase two bottles
of beer. O'Connor forgot to get
the beer and also forgot to bring the
money back. The lumberjack had
patience for while but when he
found it impossible to get the money

St. Paul, Jan. %, $40 A. M
Especial to Pioneer. The scheme
of the Cass Lake supporters to have
committee from the House and the
Senate normal school committees
visit the towns which want the loca-
ton of the sixth normal school will
be strongly opposed when a resolu-
ton is offered in the house to appro-
pirate money to pay the expenses of
such junket.,
The Senate committee has not
yet considered the normal bills, nor
has it acted upon the suggestion of
the House committee to appoint a
joint committee to participate in a
junket.
It is the intention of the support
ers of a general bill to expose the
scheme of the junket, which has
for its purpose report by the
junketing committee favorable to
Cass Lake.
General objection is made to the
methods of McGarry and his sup

BASKETBALL GAME WITH
GRAND RAPIDS TONIGHT
Manager Of the Grand Rapids Team Insinuates That They
Can Put Up a Rough Came if tho Locals
Act That Way.

Big Bemidg" will face the Grand
Rapids basketball team on the floor
of the Coliseum tomorrow evening
in what will probably be one of the
hottest games of the season.
Big Bemidg" will play with all
her regular men back in their old
positions. Joe Markham, one of the
stars, will be there" at forward,
after being absent from the last two
games. Cell will assist Markham
in making the baskets, while Bid
dinger and Peterson will be placed
at guard and Brown will occupy
the center.
With the Bemidii boys playing
in the above positions, the locals
are fairly confident of defeating the
fast team from the east.
The lineup of the Grand Rapids
five has not been sent here, but it
is definitely known that Jerome
Meyers, the redoutable football
player, is captain and is playing on

visit as is contemplated. IS.
Unison of the towns in support Of
a general bill has made friends of
western towns for Bemidji in other
matters outside of the normal school
contest and the Bemidji delegation
has been highly complimented on
the fairness and loyalty displayed
by Messrs. Berg, Rutledge, Lycan,
White, Richie, Mackenzie and
others who have been here.
The fight will be continued, and
Cass Lake supporters are beginning
to realize that their strength of
few days ago is waning. There are
reasons for some of the opposition
to the general bill which cannot be
explained now, but which will be
fully aired at the end of the present
session.
It is expected that the senate
committee on normal schools will
grant hearing on the general bill
today and set the time for hearing
in the very near future.

found out was that there had to be a

his room was the only one available.
Where was he to go now? Oh. he'd
have to go over in the house office
building until the senate office build

So now, Uncle Ike, who has more
money than he knows how to spend
and who could buy himself thousand

The system of government es-

fact that the secret service has

This extension has been brought

was of dark gray crepe de chine richly
embroidered with a Japanese design
and worn with ruff of Alice blue and
a gray hat trimmed with a blue
feather. 1t was really wonderful ar

Another beautiful dress was in the

trimmed with a cloud of mauve chiffon
and a blue fluff Of marabout.
A pretty black gown of crepe de

of the lace, with a short oversleeve of
black. The crepe was draped round
the figure and the oYerskirt hung
gracefully below the line of the knee.

Window GardeDs Need
Much @aFe and
Ate E7tfoF7.

Water is the most essential element
of plant food, and water and air are
two things that every plant requires,
yet there are no set rules that can be
given when these things should be
applied. Generally speaking, however,
a plant should only be watered when
1t is dry, and should then be watered
sufficiently to wet it thoroughly. Some
times it is necessary to water plants
two or three times a day in sunny
weather, and again, in cloudy weather,
once week may be often enough
Plants should receive good air 1t is
well to open a window for a few mo-
ments every bright, sunny day, even
in winter. Dust frequently clogs the
pores. For this reason it is best to
sprinkle the foliage plants by taking
them to the kitchen sink or to the
bathtub at least once or twice a week.
If this is not practicable, busting with
a duster or washing coriaceous leaves
with a sponge is advisable. Where the
plants can be properly sprayed they
are not likely to be troubled very much
with insects. In case single plant is
covered with green fly" place a pa
per bag over it, have some friend
who smokes puff the cigar smoke into
the bag
A few times will remedy the trouble.
Scale insects, If they once get hold,
can only be removed by washing off
with a stiff brush, or, if near florist,
have him give the hydrocyanic gas
treatment. Pyrethrum or tobacco dust
is also valuable, but is generally too
Objectionable to have in living room.
The best preventive is to always keep
The plants in perfect health and
growing. The pots or window boxes
should be turned frequently so as to
have the plant; develop symmetrica1ly
After all, the secret of the greatest
success with the window garden is the
innate love for flowers by the one who
cares for them, worked out by coming
in daily contact with the plants them
selves and thus learning the individual
needs of each plant.
The environments of no two window
gardens are exactly alike and thus
each one calls for different treatment.
However, if you study plants and full
fill their wants, they will nearly al
ways entirely fulfill your wishes in
cheering and beautifuying your school
room or home.
