The second day of the fourth
annual fair of the Beltrami County
Agricultural association opened this
morning under most favorable con-
ditions.
The weather was perfect; the
exhibits had about all been placed,
and the main building was fairly
damned with the finest array of
agricultural exhibits, fruits, fancy
articles, school work, etc., etc., ad
lib, and the crowd at the grounds
was prepared for a days enjoyment,
anticipating much from the program
that has been prepared.
The attendance this forenoon was
very light, but towards noon country
people began to arrive and there
was a fair crowd, shortly after
dinner.
The forenoon was devoted to the
Judging of the horses, cattle and
other stock that had been placed on
exhibition, there being very fair
exhibit. The judges were Prof. R.
A. Moore, Madison, Wis.,; Prof. T.
A. Cooper, St. Paul; Prof. A. J. Nc.
CURE, Grand Rapids; Prof. A. D..
Wilson, St. Paul; and the gentlemen
complimented the owners of the
animals on the start they were
making in that line of farming.
The Farmers Meeting" which
was held in front of the grand stand,
beginning at 1880, brought out quite
a crowd, and the speakers gave very
good talks" on the subjects assigned
to them, they answering many ques
tons to impart all information pos
sible as to the proper methods of up
to-date farming.
The speeches were highly enter
taing; and the visit of the gentle
men to this section will result ir
much good to the farming industry
GA full account of this meeting
will be published in tomorrow
Pioneer.
The race program was an interest
ing one, and some of the contest
were very exciting. The results viii
be given in tomorrow's paper.

vacancy.
A report on the school of for
estry at the park was read. There
are at present thirty pupils en-
rolled, and several cottages were
built a, the park this summer.
Martin Heinzelman has had
charge of Douglas lodge, at the
park, and the lodge has been con-
Quoted in a fine manner by Mr..
and Mrs. Heinzelman, the latter
being an especially delightful
hostess.
Another proposition which has
been considered pretty thoroughly
is the knocking out of the Bagley-
ltasca Park road appropriation by
the famous "pork barrel" decision;
and it is the belief of the members
of the board that the appropriation
for this road can be made to
"stick," despite the decision.

Mr.. Russell is already proving
what the Pioneer claimed for him,
one of the most efficient members
of the forestry board. He has had
much experience in the woods since
he came to Bemidji to live, in the
the pioneer days of this city, and
he is a valuable addition to the
membership.

A Remarkable showinn

Nothing could speak in stronger
terms of the growing popularity of
the Northwestern Mutual Fire Asso-
citation of Seattle than the new record
established in July when more than
four and a half million dollars of in
surance was written. The significance
OF this will be better understood when
IL is realized that of the 100 other fire
insurance companies doing business in
the state of Washington last year only
Is of them wrote as much in this state
IN IL months as was written by the
northwestern in the single month of
July and the average amount written
by the 100 companies for the whole
year was less than two and a half
million dollars
The profits on the underwriting all
go to the policy holders and these pro-
hts now amount to over $500 for ey-
cry working day.

A. Gates. secretary of the California
Board Of Charities, in an address at
the convention Of the American Prison
association today.
ITO reform the county Jail and make
it an instrument of good instead of
evil, the following steps are neces-
sary:
District work houses for all pris-
oners sentenced to terms in Jail and a
proper labor system installed therein.
"A separate cell for each prisoner
we'll lighted and ventilated and sup
piled with sanitary plumbing.
that prisoners may be classified, ac-
cording to sex, age and apparent Grim
inality and each class be completely
separated from the other.
Trained jailors with humane in
stincts and high character, who appre-
!c:ate the opportunity Of making better
the prisoners placed in their charge.
The improvement Of our county Jail
system, however, depends upon gen.
eral Improvement of social order. No
material. advance will be made until
man puts al higher value upon his
fellowman. Society must feel shat
men are worth saving before it will
throw out the life line. This will not
come until we forsake the worship of
the golden calf and give obedience to
the golden rule"
