to be Present.

Baseball and horse racing will be
combined at the Fair grounds Sun
day afternoon when the Driving club
will put on a matinee and the Com.

the fast Cass Lake team. The Be-
midi band has been engaged for the
afternoon and will be on the grounds

Last week, the owners of several
St. Cloud horses wrote that they
would like to come up and race the
local ones. Their offer has been
taken up and it is probable that they
will appear on the track Sunday.
The local horses have competed with
each other so often that the results
of their races are almost known
before they run. The St. Cloud
horses will add an element of uncer.
tainty.
Cass Lake has a fast team thi.
year and defeated Bemidji by q
large score when the local boys
played them at home. Company K
has team that is improving as the
season goes on and should be able
to put up a good game Sunday. A
single admission will be charged fol-
| the two events.

BANKRUPTCY FORCED ON
BIG CRooKSToN FARM
Petition Has Been Filed by Creditor.
Because of Scare Over the Bad
Crop Reports.

Crookston, July 2O:-The filing
of the petition in involuntary bank
ruptcy by one of the creditors of the
Wright Carpenter company depart
ment store caused much surprise
here. The failure is not bad one
although the assets and liabilities
can only be estimated as no schedule
has been filed as yet and will not be
till -afte.-~ -..,Sotius vf-tl.~-- q. ~~l;t~.-
which will be held some time this
week. The concern has had good
credit, because of the high standing
of the members of the firm as men
of the strictest business integrity,
but it is supposed that some of the
creditors became ner vous because of
the crop reports from this section of
the country.
The assets, which will be about
$4,000 in stock and the accounts,
have not been compiled as yet, but
with very few exceptions they are
gilt edged as all credit business has
been closely watched by the firm for
some time past. The liabilities are
about $4,000.
1t is expected that the store will
reopened in about thirty days or as
soon as the stock can be invoiced
and the legal details complied with.

of Bemidji. Mr.. Andrew Rood, of
Bemidji, sang several barytone solos
that were enjoyable. The chaut-

tuberculosis particularly. Wednes-
day was fraternal day.
Friday, the program was given to
the women and Mrs. Higbee, presi-

den drew the largest crowd of the
assembly. The Judge is Democrat
and has often been mentioned as the
party's candidate for governor. He
made plain the stand he took on
county option and warned his hearers
that the voice of the people cannot
be disregarded.
The part of his speech referring to
county option is as follows:
"County option is not partizan
question, so l feel assured l am
violating no property by discuss
ing it. 1t is the proud boast of the
American people that every citizen
is sovereign and that the express
ed will of the majority of the
people constitutes the law. Then
why, let me ask, should we hesitate
to submit to our sovereign power,
the people, a question of such mo-
mentous importance as the traffic
in intoxicating liquors7

orally. The present subsidy propo-
sition contemplates only three or
four millions expenditures annually,
but its advocates do not conceal the
fact that it is only an opening
wedge for an expenditure which to
be effective to supply and maintain
a merchant marine capable of
carrying the bulk of our foreign
commerce will require from fifty to a
hundred million dollars annually,
and this without the slightest pros
poets of reducing transportation
rates upon the sea.
The deficit in the postal receipts
has already compelled a postpone
ment of service on many new rural
routes. Mr.. Stevenson contends,
rightfully, that to further increase
the postal deficit by ship subsidy,
would be hostile to the extention OF
the rural free delivery service to the
newer sections, who are now anx.
iously awaiting early installation.
and with this outsof the way the work
of extending this service can begin
with the next fiscal year. II Z.
The interests santagonized by Mr.
STEVENSON in his ship subsidy fight
are the most powerful, both fnan
ciaily and politically, in the country
and it may be expected that theil
assaults will be repeated throughout
the remainder of the campaign, bu,
we hope the people will readily I'm.

these assaults come, and will rally

Flag on Postoffice

Ever since the morning of the
Fourth. a large flag has been seen
floating over the postoffice. This
was placed there by Postmaster
Erickson and he has kept it up be-
cause be says, a flag should always
float over a government building.
The flag staff is high enough so the
flag may be seen from any down

rected to the postohice.

GOVERNOR AND PARTY
WILL VISIT BEMIDJ|
Due to Arrive Saturday at $3.50 and
Expect to Stay Until 4:30 a. m.
Sunday.

Governor Eberhart and party will
be in Bemidji from $3.50 Saturday
afternoon until 4:30 Sunday NOR ming
while on their way to inspect the
new drainage bitches in the northern
part of Beltrami and Roseau count
les. The party will come here from
Duluth. t
Business men of the city are ar
ranging for a reception and big time
for the party. Those coming with
the governor are State Auditor Iver-
son, Secretary of State Schmahl,
immigration Commissioner Welsh,
Judge Quinn. of Fairmont, State
Drainage Engineer Ralph, and off,
Gals of the Northern Pacific rail way.
1t is the purpose of the party to
travel through the swamp country in
the northern part of the border
counties and see the work accom-
plished in the new bitches by the
state engineers. The country is new
and is unknown to the majority of
the party. 1t is not thickly settled
and guides will be taken from the
Indians and lumbermen familiar
with the land.
Most of the trip will be made in
small boats. Launches will be used
from Warroad up the Rainy river
until it becomes too shallow. Canoes
will be used in the bitches and
where no water is found. the party
will pack food and bedding across
country. One of the bitches to be
inspected is over ten miles long.
The visit of the governor and his
party will probably have some poll
teal significance as the fall elections
are now so close. -. -

until the dav after the squad left ST
Louis for Houston
While en- route on the train To the
spring training camp Jack had a long
talk with Griggs. 1t was explained by
the new Browns leader to his PLAYER
that the latter had never had a reg
ular position on a team, playing some
times at second, sometimes in the out
field, while he had also caught a few
games. Then it was that Jack ex-
planned to Griggs how shy the team
was on backstops, and it was on the
train that the pair came to the agree
ment whereby GriggS should start the
season off as a catcher
O'Connor worked harder that ever
coaching Griggs in all the little fine
points of the game while in Houston
and it was not until the very last mo-
ment almost, and all hope of Olson
showing UP had passed that O'Connor
was forced to send Griggs to play sec
ond on the kids team when the lat
ter left on the transforming trip
1t was not until one day shortly be-
fore the team was about to leave for
the opening of the season in Chicago
that the playing of Griggs around sec
ond caught the watchful eye of O'Con-
nor. The Nuts and the Regulars We're
staging a regulation nine-inning battle
Griggs played wonderful ball. He grab
bed everything sent his way in the
easiest kind of fashion. There was
nothing too hard or too hot for him 20
him a permanent job as the Browns
second sacker with Manager O'Connor
And since the season opened GriggS
has been making good for Jack every
day. No two players in the game to-
day field their positions and bat more
alike than Griggs and Larry Lajoie
When a hard hit ball is sent down to-
ward second Griggs makes the fans
nervous by his slow, Indifferent way of
going after the rolling sphere. Lajoie
was never known to hurry. Always
seemingly slow, but always sure, the
pair field their positions almost exact
ly alike. Both have wonderful arms
that allow them to take more time in
going after a drive and then shoot to
first than other players in the same
position. Both are hitters of the slug
ging type. They stand up at the, plate
straight. hold their bats on the very
end of the handle and swing with muir
derous force. And when either hits it's
generally drive worth the while.
The career of Griggs with the St.
Louis Browns has been a queer one. He
was not good enough for a regular
berth last season under Manager Nc
Aleer until almost every player on the
team became crippled. This season he
held out for time after being handed
a substantial raise. After arriving in
southland he was to have become a
catcher. And now the American league
season has opened and Arthur is the
Browns star second baseman, and lit

Mr. Hedges paid a fancy price for to

more than just an ordinary
utility infelder.

CUTS OUT THE AGGIES.
X. Z. Withdraws From Topeka Ath-
Ietfc Conference.

Lawrence. Kan. April 2s.-E. w:
Murray, secretary of the athletic board
of the University of Kansas, stated
today that Kansas hau officially with
drawn from the Topeka conference and
hereafter world be bound only by the
rules of the NJ issouri valley conference.
This action was made necessary, it is
claimed, by the fact that it is now i'm
possible for Kansas to compete on an
equal basis with the Agricultural col
lege. Washburn and other Kansas
schools.
s'The Missouri valley conference
rules are moro strict, and if the other
state schools wish to compete with us
they must observe these rules Pro-
fessor Murra.r said. Manager Lansdon
asid it was ir1prob able that the Jay
hawkers and Aggies would clash next
fall. His reason is based on a ruling
passed by the state schools at Emporia,
March IL. which states that no mem
Der of this conference shall insist on
an rules of eligibility in any athletic
contests with other members of the
conference except the Kansas college
athletic conference rules. 1t was this
ruling that compelled Kansas to with
draw from the state conference, so the
university authorities claim. The ac-
ton will not affect the games with
WaShburn.

Monsieur Bon Fire spread around
through a number of outbuildings be-
hind the Batman candy store, S27

companies from headquarters station
and from No. 3.

THEY CLOSE DOORS.
After a Wonderfully Successful Bust
ness, Phenomenal Sale.

Saturday night, April 80. at 10 o'clock,
the well known Bell Brothers Piano
Co. will finally close their doors and
withdraw from the retail piano field IL
Topeka. Since the inception of the
Bells Brothers piano business in To-
peka, their course has been marked by
the highest Standards of honesty. in
tegrity and fair dealings. With genuine
regret the people of the city see thu
Bell Brothers withdraw from the re-
tail-f1eld. The wonderful development
of their wholesale business necessitates
the move.
The business has been assumed by
the Spielman Furniture Co.
who bought out the local store at a
great reduction from the actual value
of the stock of instruments, and have
celebrated the event by holding one of
the largest and most remarkable clos
ing out piano sales ever held in the
state of Kansas.
Over two hundred pianos have been
sold and the ware rooms at S14 Kansas
avenue have been thronged for the last
month by eager and enthusiastic piano
buyers.
quite naturally, the Emahizer-SpieI-
man Furniture company feel intensely
gratified at the liberal patronage ac-
corded them. The steady flow of Gus
toners they have waited upon, shows
in no uncertain way the faith and abb
solute trust the purchasing public Of
Topeka reposes in them.
1t means bigger responsibility for this
big store but it is also a great step, a
big expansion and a marked progress
sion, thoroughly in keeping with the
modern up to date methods that are
characteristic of the Emahizer-Sp
man Furniture company.
