Method of Serving Patrons Will Be
Changed, Wednesday, at the
Popular Restaurant.

The Armstrong Cafe, which has
heretofore been conducted as a
regulation restaurant, with the meals.
at-all-hours plan predominating, will
be run on a different plan, beginning
with Wednesday morning, when Mr..
Armstrong will inaugurate what he
calls his Dairy Lunch This
method of handling lunch counters
is in general vogue throughout the
Eastern cities, and Mr.. Armstrong
believes that the new scheme of
handling meals will become popular
in Bemidji.
The regular dinner and supper
bills will be discontinued and every
thing will be served as per order.
Everything ordered will be placed
on the counters and each guest will
wait on himself or herself. This
method will give much better ser
vice, and the orders will be much
more satisfactory.
Mr.. Armstrong is spending con-
siderable time and money renovating
and remodeling the interior of his
place of business prior to changing
the method of handling business.
The main portion of the lunch room
is being provided with new counters.
chairs and tables, some of the latter
being reserved exclusively for the
lady patrons of the lunch room.
In the kitchen, Mr.. Armstrong

Enjoyable Picnic.

A picnic was given at Diamond
Point yesterday under the aus
pices of the ladies of the Swedish
Lutheran church and the affair was
attended by one of the largest
crowds which ever participated in
an outdoor entertainment in this
city.
There was a short program, Rev.
Grondvold delivering a short
address, as did also Karl Stromme.
Andrew Rood sang a solo and
Professor Masten' S orchestra played
several up-to-date selections.
Coffee and sandwiches and ice
cream and cake were served during
the afternoon and the majority OF
the crowd stayed until the early
evening. All of the services were
conducted in the Swedish language.

DAY N. & |. PASSENGER
NOW RUNS TO KELLIHER
Change Gives Rise to Rumor of Pro.
posed Extension OF Read to

The day passenger train on the
Minnesota & international railway
is now running on to Kelliher, the
schedule of the train being changed
from Kelliher and in order that
better accommodation may be furn.
ished the train crew.
This not only gives the Kelliher
branch passenger instead of mixed
service, but furnishes better mail
service as we'll.
Some people who are we'll informed
with the intentions of the Northern
Pacific and Minnesota & Interna.
tional officials. claim that the change
of the train schedule, whereby the
day passenger train goes on to
Kelliher from Funkley, means that
eventually the Kelliher branch will
be extended to Baudette or Spooner
or some point on the Lake of the
Woods, but officials of the Nj. & I.
company have repeatedly denied that
there is any intention, at present, OF
building an extension north from
Kelliher.

visitors and most of them would
swing at any old thing the opposi-
ton pitcher put across the pan"
the batters being kept in a stew"
by the incessant talk of McMurry,
the Gopher catcher. who, as a
josher and coacher, is certainly fine.
He kept everybody going and had
fine sport with the spectators, always
keeping his temper and being ever
ready with repartee.
It was case of a team trained to
the minute to play fast, aggressive
game, pitted against local organi-
zatlon which had been scraped
together with but little united
practice, with the inevitable result
that the visiting players easily won.
The Gopher management chose
Steele, their best "hurler," to go on
the slab, and the balance of the
team played as follows: Wallace 2b,
Taylor 3b, McMurry c, Barton ct,
Milliner If, McDougal SIS, Binga IF,
Marshall 1b.
Steele pitcheda fine game, allow
ing five hits, striking out thirteen,
and giving three bases on balls.
He had fine control, and was given
great support by his team mates.
McMurry caught like big Lacquer,
and the fielding stunts were of the
sensational order, all the time, this
being especially true of the infeld,
which ate up" everything that came
along, all the players having whips"
that sent the ball to the basemen
like a rocket.
In hitting, the visitors did about
as they pleased. They lined 'er
out" or hunted, just as the occasion
demanded, and toward the close of
the game some of them purposely
struck out in order to avoid running
in the heat. They collected thir-
teen hits, one being a home run by
Marshall, and two two-baggers, by
Taylor and McDougal.

MEEkER IS APPOINTED
SUPERVISOR OF CENSUS
Editor Of Moordead Independent Lands
lob Which Was Being Much
Sought After.

D. w. Meeker, editor of the
Moorhead Independent, has been
selected by Congressman Steiner
son as supervisor of census for the
Ninth congressional district, and
will have the job"
While Mr.. STEVENSON does not actu-
ally name the supervisor he recon-
mends him for the appointment and
that is as good as having the job
in a Gag as all congressman name
the men for their districts.
It is said the position had been
rendered J. P. Dotson, publisher of
the Crookston Times, some time
ago, but he declined as the duties
would take him from his business
too great portion of the time.
Another Crookston party circulated
the rumor that he was to land the
plum, but there was no foundation
to the story.
While from political standpoint,
there be those in this county who
think that Congressman Stevenson
could have made a wiser appoint
ment by naming some Beltrami
county man, nevertheless, the
appointment of Meeker will give
satisfaction to a large following of
Congressman Stevenson who are
strong supporters of the Moorhead
man. Meeker is a prominent figure
in the politics of Clay county and
has friendly relations with all the
voters of adjoining counties, so that
his appointment looks good from a
standpoint of that section of the
Ninth district.
Mr.. Meeker will undoubtedly
make a very acceptable supervise,
of census. He is competent and
capable and has good Judgment
coupled with honesty of purpose.
which attributes are desirable in any
capacity.
