TIME FOR VISITING COMMITTEES
(rror a staff Correspondent

DIES MONIES, Feb. 25.-(Special.)-The
legislature agreed this morning to the
March 1 recess, which is to commence upon
adjournment tomorrow and last until the
next Wednesday. This recess will be for
the purpose of permitting members to go
home and attend to the usual work which
is done the first of March. 1t will also en-
able the visiting committee to finish the
visiting Of Institutions. The visiting COM
mittee asked for an extension of time and
1t was granted
The house spent most of the forenoon to-
dav in considering the bill to make a new
definition of a legal fence. 1t requires a
fence TO be of woven wire. The bill, after
much discussion, was amended so that the
only place where such a fence could be re-
ouired is on the division line between farms.
and in this form 1t was passed.
Change Name of school.
The senate reconsidered its action Of de-
! feat for the bill to change the name of the
state Normal school, The bill was defeated
| when it was proposed to give the Institution
the name of state Teachers college" To-
day. after reconsidering the vote. the bill
was amended and then passed to give the
institution the name of Iowa State Normal
college"
III ia bLN -
recognized and license the practice of OPP
| tometry. and by decisive vote refused to
| send the bill to the health committee, which
is dominated by the doctors. after which it
was made a special order for the following
day.
Car Problem solved.
THE senate passed unanimously the Allen
bill in regard to furnishing cars. The
present Iowa law requires railroads to fur
nish cars when they are needed by ship
pers when within their power TO do so
and upon reasonable time. The Allen bill
strikes out all these provisions and leaves
it so that the duty Of furnishing cars Is
well defined. In a sense. the bill is a sub
stitute for all demurrage bills.
The senate also received a report from
the railroads committee. favorable to the
bill to forbid pronliscuous drinking on
trains and to give conductors authority 20
forbid persons from going on trains while
they are intoxicated.

The governor today sent to the senate
the name Of w. II Berry OF ~indianola.
for reappointment on the State Board OF
Parole. The senate Immediately confirmed
the same, Mr.. Berry is now chairman of
the board and was appointed by Governor

mental in getting the work Of the parole

Doings in Court.

Before Judge Stanton this morn
ing the divorce case of Nellie
Taylor VS.. Robert Taylor was con-
sidered, G. M. Torrance appearing
as attorney for the plaintiff and F.
A. Jackson representing the defend
ant. Z.
Judgement was rendered for the
plaintiff, giving her an absolute
divorce and the custody of the
three minor children and allowing
her an alimony of IS per week.
Judge Stanton also filed an order
overrufing the demurrer interposed
by County Attorney McKusick
against the defendant in an action
brought by Charles Tiller and others
against Beltrami county, wherein
the plaintiffs sue to vacate and set
aside special assessments made
against certain lands in Beltrami
county to aid in the construction oil

No Game Sunday.

The grid1ron warriors who form
the fast Company K football team
will not play a game tomorrow
owing to the fact that it seems
utterly impossible to get any eleven
in this section of the country to
line up against the soldier boys.
|: Arrangements were made early
in the week to play game against
the Grand Forks Tigars, but that
team .thuked." Later arrange
ments were made to play a game
at Crookston against the Great
Northern eleven. The Great
Northern players heard something
about the playing prowess of Com
pany K and they also "backed
up"
1t is unfortunate that, after
practicing steadily for three weeks,
the local "big team" cannot get a
game. Local people would like
to see a game between Company
K and the Grand Rapids City
team, but this seems unlikely ow-
ing to the "bad blood" that exists
between the players.

administered by the Grand Rapids
team, the local high school eleven
went to Crookston full of ginger"
and confident of giving the Crooks

the score in favor of Bemidji.
AS Bemidji has defeated Fosston,
which latter team beat Crookston
last Sunday by a score of 10 to 0,
there is every reason to believe that
Bemidji won the game played this
afternoon.

Orchestra, Fine Minstrel First Part, And an
0lio of Up-to.Date Specalties.

1t is Professor Masters intention to
get entirely new stuff" and he
will have lot of tuneful solos and
instrumental pieces. III
While plans for the show are still
in the incubator" stage, still enough
has been decided upon to insure a
frst-class show. =
There will be the usual minstrel
first part, including songs, jokes and
witty repartee, followed by an olio
that will be strictly up-to-date.
It is the intention of the commit
tee to engage some person of pro-
fessional experience in putting on
shows of this character who will
take charge of the big chorus and
the olio, and who will smooth off the
rough places and eventually give to
Bemidji a really meritorious perform
ance.
The announcement of the date
Thanksgiving, Thursday, Novem-
Der 25) is made in ample time so
that other societies or organiza tons
will not plan on any entertainments
for that night to conflict with the
Elks big minstrel show.
Further announcement regarding
the show will be made in a few DAYS.

is now pending and which it is

By virtue of the order which has

mates the first Thursdays in the

special terms for considering all
matters except those of fact.
The setting aside of these days
for holding special terms will be of
great advantage to attorneys having
cases in Beltrami and Itasca coun-
ties. It will sasure the attendance
of one of the three judges at the
special terms designated. Hereto
fore it has been necessary to make
special arrangements for court ses-
sions to consider matters rather than
questions of fact.

The Congressman, Denies He Would
Like to Be Republican Candi-

WHOLLY UNAUTHORIZED" SAYS
Mr.. STEVENSON OF THE STORY
Wants Friends to Know That He Is
Candidate for Reelection
to Congress.

Z A story was recently printed in
the Bemidji Sentinel, in which con-
siderable prominence was given to
the suggestion that Congressman
Halvor Steenerson was candidate
for the republican nomination for
governor, and that if the congress-
man was a candidate for guber-
material honors, his withdrawal
from the congressional race would
leave the field open to the aspirations
of Hon. A. D. Stephens to run for
congress, ETC., ETC., ad lib. il
This story was printed two years
ago, and the article recently printed
in the Sentinel is but "rehash" of
the matter published at that time,
and is about as truthful "
The Pioneer has taken the trouble
to consult the party most interested
in this "babbling" of an unsound
mind, with the result that Mr.. Steen-
erson most emphatically denies any
intention of becoming candidate
for governor. >.r p
