FOSSTON AND BEMIDJI TO
PLAY BASEBALL SUNDAY
Louie Roy Is Catching for Visiting Team, Which Is
Very Fast, This Season.-Summers May
Play With the Locals.

The Fosston team, one of the
strongest semi professional base
ball organizations in the north
half of the state this season, will
play in Bemidji Sunday against
the local city team, and a fast con-
test is looked for.
The Fosston team has as its
battery Cedreau, an Indian who
was formerly a member of the
Cloquet team, and Louis Roy,
who caught for Bemidji during the
last three seasons. Emerson, an
other ex Bemidji player, is also
with Fosston. Cedreau is splen.

the bat, has been doing phenom.
email work this season. Two
weeks ago., the Fosston and Ada
teams played tie thirteen inning
game, neither side scoring, and
the battle is said to have been the
very best ever seen at Fosston.
The entire Fosston team is made
up of seasoned players who are de-
termined to take the game from
Bemidji, and they will not lack
supporters from their home town, as
many Fosston people will come over
with the players to see the game.
The battery for Bemidji, so far as
is known at present, will be Baum
gardner and Eckel. Baum" is
pitching a steady game at all times,
this season, and will undoubtedly
put up a game battle with the
Fosston redskin.
It is possible that Summers, the
old Duluth boy who played with
Bemidji three years ago, will be here
and participate in the game with
Bemidji against Fosston. Summers

1.-The Power Of Love"

Raymond Bells modern comedy
drama The Power of Love-" is
said to be in distinct dramatic
class of its own.
The situations are taken from
real life, some of the action having
really taken place at the time of the
Denver Boom and the discovery of
the Blooming Daisy lode.
The author pieced these occur
rences together in such a way as to
make neat, interesting play and
literally added comedy to give it
vim and cheerfulness.
The story is of an old farmer and
his wife and daughter.
The wife, being a kind and loving
mother and DESTROYS of living a
quite life, is satisfied with her hum
bic home in the suburbs, but the
acquiring of unexpected wealth drives
the father money-mad and he forces
his wife and daughter to 90 New
York and mingle in society.
Their many experiences and en-
barrassing situations afford excellent
material for good acting, and Ray
mond Bell and his company have
proven themselves capable artists,
as this is their third successful
season.
Mr.. Bell will be seen in The
Power of Love" at the City Opera
House, Saturday. June 5th.
The Opera House orchestra, under
the direction of Prof. Harry Masten,
will furnish high-class, up-to-date
music, the night of the play.

We have no desire to disparge
other sections of the United States,
but would merely like to emphasize
the fact that in Northern Minnesota
today will be found a great oppor-
tunity to buy land at very nominal
values, which land eventually will
become quite as valuable as any
land in the country.
There are several classes of
people who today should be think
ing of buying agricultural land if
they ever intend to do so. Refer
ence is not made to the Speculation
or the investor, but rather to the
man who ought to be living on a
farm. In the first place there is
the renter, a man trained in agri.
cultural pursuits who has not
amassed sufficient wealth to pur-
chase farm in the locality in
which he lives. In all Eastern and
Western Central States where the
original settlers have become
wealthy through a great natural
increase in farm values, there has
been a great tendancy towards
! development of landlordism. Sta
tistics show that a large percentage
of farms in these states are
handled by renters, at the same
time it is the common experience of
renters that after paying a rental

Alleged Pool Seller Can Not Be

OAKLAND, May 25.-William Zingg,
an Alameda tobacconist, was cleared of
the charge of perjury today by Judge
Wells on the plea that he had been
once in jeopardy and could not, under
the provisions of the constitution of
the United States. be tried again. The
decision handed down hinged on a nice
point of law that was submitted last
week by Zingg's attorneys, A. F. St.
Sure and A. L. Frick.
Zingg was arrested more than
year ago in Alameda on a charge. Of
selling pools. His arrest followed a
crusade inaugurated by the Good Gov
eminent league. and the principal wit
ness against him was a detective en-
ployed by that organization. At the
trial it was a question between the

tective, and the jury believed the to-
