Tonight Last Night for Yankee Doodle

Judging by the manner in which it
was received by the large audience
which saw the Yankee Doodle Play
ers produce it at the City Opera
House last night, was one of the
biggest comedy drama successes
seen here in repertoire in long
time.
Tonight, "Wormwood," from the
novel of the same name by the
master feminine mind of literature,
Marie Correlli, will hold the boards
and teach a lesson in morals and
temperance that will rival in effect
iveness and truth the most power
full sermons of the pulpit.
NORWOOD deals with the soul
destroying effects of absinthe on the
human being in a manner that
leaves an impression on the memory
never to be forgotten, being keen
psychological study of an honored
and respected son of a noble Partisan
family, who, disappointed in love,
turns to the Bohemianism an abandon
of the Latin quarters for solace and
there for the first time tastes of the
green curse of France, absinthe,
which brings to him, first, forgetful-
ness and drunken happiness, and
then gradually turns what had once
been a pure and noble affection fo1
his faithless fance into the uncredi-
bic and inhuman hate that prompts
the terrible revenge which makes
the theme of "Wormwood" at once
so powerful and so compelling.
No tumults of applause will be
heard at the performance of Worm.

GIVE ADDITIONAL MONTH
FOR NETTING WHITEFISH
Law Adopted Last Winter Permits Licensed Netting of
Whitefsh for Personal Use Only, From
November 10 to January 10.

There has been considerable con-
troversy, of late, among local fisher
men as to whether, at the last
session of the legislature, the law
relative to the netting of white fish
and trelipies had been changed, some
stating that change had been made
and that the period was extended
month; others were of the opinion
that it was a month earlier, while
others were equally sure that the
law had not been changed in any
respect.
The law was changed, at the last
session of the legislature, and the
season was extended for one month.
The law, prior to last winter, allowed
the netting of white fish and trepilis
(when nets were officially licensed)
from November 10, to December 10.
Under the new ruling these varieties
of fish can be netted from November
10 to January 10. >
Another amendment was made
regulating the setting of nets.
Below the Pioneer gives the law
as it now exists relative to the
netting of white fish and trelipies
(the matter set in black type are
the changes which the Legislature
made in the old ruling): .v..':

BODY OF J. W. SPEELMAN
BURIED AT GREENWOOD
Obsequies, Conducted Yesterday After
noon, by Rev. S. E. P. White,
Were Largely Attended.

All that was mortal of the late
J. w. Speelman was, laid to rest in
Greenwood cemetery yesterday after
noon, the funeral obsequies and
burial being attended by a large
number of the relatives and friends
of the family.
Prior to the interment, services
were held at the Presbyterian church,
Rev. S. E. P. White officiating. The
deceased had always been a promi-
nent member of the Order of Odd
Fellows, and the members of the
local Odd Fellow and Rebekah
lodges attended in a body. to pay
their last respects to the memory of
one who in life they had known so
WE'LL and the church was filled with
persons who had been acquainted
with the departed.
Rev. S. E. P. White chose for the
text of his few words a selection
from the Book of Job: I Know
that My Redeemer Liveth." Rev.
White spoke words of comfort to the
bereaved widow and other members
of the family, and alluded touchingly
to the life of the deceased and his
hope of eternal peace. A choir sang,
very beautifully, the grand hymn,
Nearer, My God, to Thee" Both
the text and the hymn were favor.
ties with the deceased, and he had
expressed desire, prior to death,
that they should be used at the
obsequies.
The floral offerings were very
beautiful, those given by the Odd
Fellow and Rebekah lodges being
symbolic of those orders. The pail.
bearers were chosen from among the
members of the local lodge~o Odd
Fellows, and were as follows: L. F,
Johnson, George Smith, E, H. Corn

Judge M. A. Spooner of this city,
attorney for the 500 Railway, has
filed with City Clerk .Maloy the
official acceptance by the 500 COM
pany of that portion of the right-of-
way desired through the city of Be-
midi which is known as the mill
Road" being the south twenty feet
of the public highway extending
from the M. & I. bridge eastward
to the limits of the village of
Nymore.
The vacating of the road gives the
500 fine entrance into Bemidji and
gives the lie to early predictions by
some few malcontents that the 500
could not enter the city.
The official acceptance of the
vacated portion of the Mill Road"
as filed by Judge Spooner, is as
follows:
