Last nights Brainerd Dispatch

Last nights Brainerd Dispatch
said:
CDR. Delbert F. Dumas, mayor of
Cass Lake, was in Brainerd Saturday
afternoon on his way home from Fer
gus Falls, where he appeared before
the federal court.
"I am more than pleased to have
my next trial in Brainerd,' said the
doctor. I am sure I shall get fair
and square deal. r'
81 shall have Jay Henry Long, of
Brainerd, assist in my defense. Judge
Spooner, formerly of Bemidji and now
of the firm of Spooner, Laybourn &
Lucas, of Minneapolis will defend
me at this Brainerd trial and all re-
ports that he has left the case are
without foundation.
"I am confident of acquittal of the
charge of having aided and abetted
in setting fire to the Bacon & Brown
building in Blackjack. was never

"'The Puposky case has been GER
titled to the supreme court for a de-
cision on point never passed on be-

CT shall be ready for, trial on the
Blackjack charge in December and I
understand the case will be called
here promptly on December 9Th by
Judge McClenahan. Some time will
be taken in selecting jury and this
part of the proceeding may take
more time than the actual trial of
the CASE
"1n company with his attorney Jay
Henry Long, he walked about town
and made the acquaintance of many
people. DR.. Dumas left on the night
train for his home at Cass Lake.
''On the whole, he made favorable
impression on the people who met him
and who supposed they would see a
rough, uncultured, low browed man
with the word criminal written all
over his countenance. They saw in
stead a man of culture and prepos-
sessing appearance and charming
manner"

He Laced Superf,uous.


Pittsf1eld, in the Berkshire hills, had
in the old days, like many another
New England town, number of men
and women who were called "charac-
ters." One Of these was Bill Brown, a
man unfortunately addicted to drink
and frequently intoxicated for days at
a time.
On one occasion he went into the
shop Of the local halter, Mr.. Smith,
and asked for the best beaver in the
store Mr.. Smith produced the desired
article, saying as he took the money,
THAT beaver will last man a life
time"
Bill went proudly down the main
street with his fine beaver on his head
and Immediately celebrated the event
with a protracted debauch.
When he recovered he returned to
the shop with a most disreputable hat.
."Look here, thought you said this
here beaver would last me lifetime"
$50 it would" growled Mr.. Smith,
IF you had died when you ought to-"

Penalty of the Peach.

The Egyptians appear to have been
acquainted with what is commonly
called prussic acid, the most deadly
Of poisons. It is held that they dis
titled it from certain plants and trees,
notably the peach. In the Louvre
there is an ancient Egyptian papyrus
from which the following has been de-
ciphered: pronounce not the name
of I. A. O.. under the penalty of the
peach" This has been supposed to
be a death warning to those who might
be tempted to reveal mysteries In con-
nection with the religious rites Of the
priests. ~~ ~ e.-s1.
The Romans probably learned of
prussic acid from the Egyptians. His
tory has it that in the reign of Tiberius
a Roman knight accused of treason
drank poison and Immediately fell
dead at the feet Of the senators, a sig
nifcant circumstance. inasmuch as no
other poison has the almost instan-
taneous effect of prussic acid.

A Poor Press Agent.

Max O'Rell was exceedingly popular
as a lecturer, and the way in which
his mother Tiewed the suggestion that
her son should take to the platform is
worth repetition. She wrote to him
from the native village which she had
never left for more than day to say
that she did not think appearing before
audiences to be reputable business, and
when he replied that he had decided to
do it and had signed contract to that
effect the dear old lady wrote back that
she was 'still'' his loving mother and
that she would tell no one in the vii
lage about it.

Turned 1t to His ADVANTAGE.

An instance of the usefulness to
other people of illegible handwriting
is included in the vast collection Of
anecdote and fable that deals with
the writing Of Horace Greeley. One
compositor could never get used to
his appalling scrawl. and. In rage at
the continual "typograp hical errors
Greeley sent a note to the foreman Or
dering him to discharge the man at
once, as he was too inefficient work
man to be- any longer employed on the
Tribune. The foreman did it. but the
.compositor got hold Of the note and
took it to another Office, where the
foreman, after much puzzling, finally
read it "good and efficient workman
and long employed on the Tribune"
and promptly took him on.-London

L. B. Arnold Writes Pioneer Relative
to Funds for immigration Com
mission Work.
RED RIVER VALLEY TO PROFIT

L. B. Arnold of Duluth, land COM
missioner of the Duluth & Iron Range
railroad company and chairman of
the auditing committee of the Immi-
grafton commission of the Northern
Minnesota Development association
has addressed the following commun-
ication to this paper:
It wish to correct one statement in
your issue of November 10Th, under
the head of "Boost Money Flows In. I"
In that article you state that the Min
neapolis Commercial club has pledged
$4,000 and the Duluth Commercial
club $4,000. In connection with this
l wish to say that the Duluth Com
mercial club has not pledge any sum
in connection with this and has not
been asked to do so.
GAS Northeastern Minnesota men,
Der Of the Commission I am endeavor-
ing to raise $4,000 or $4,000 and al
ready have close to $500 subscribed
and some additional promised. Our
Duluth lumber men and land owners
are coming forward very literally and
the fact that the greater ownership
of Northern Minnesota land lies in
the. Twin Cities, will place the bur-:
den of raising the greater portion of
the money upon those who have that
territory.
ut must be appreciated, by all
those concerned, that the Red River
Valley is the locality in which the
greatest benefit of this work, will
first be felt and all timber land own
ers should realize that they will prof
it more by the work of this Commits
sion than the men who have cut-over
land, which are to be Immediately
placed on the market, as the result of
this work will be felt more a few
years hence than it will in the first
year. Everyone have approached,
in regard to this, has been quite en-
thusiastic over it. -
Il notice, in your article, the men
ton of $4,000 being raised in Wis
consin for similar work and $50, 900
per year, for the next three years, has
been raised in North Dakota. I'M
derstand this 100000 has been raised
largely in the Twin Cities and Duluth
and from the three large roads hay-
ing headquarters in. the Twin Cities.
If this be the case, Northern Mime
sofa is certainly entitled to call up
on the business houses of the Twin
Cities and Duluth, which have the
trade of Northern Minnesota, for lib
seral contributions.

Special Sales on Sat-
y. y. urdays.
THE FIRST IN HISTORY OF STORE

We have been told that if there ev-
err was a class of business that re-
CURED care, Judgment and good taste
it was the jewelry business. In Or
der to advertise this class of business
properly it requires truth telling pub
licity.
An announcement such as the Bar
ker Drug and Jewelry store are about
to make should gather to it during
the coming holiday rush practically
every person in Beltrami county.
In disclosing his plans for the holt
day campaign Mr.. Barker had the fol-
lowing to say.
"It takes more skilled salesmanship
and attractive advertising to sell lux
uries than necessities. AS jewelry is
luxury realize more fully what I
am up against in putting on the first
jewelry sales we have ever held in Be-
midi. .....
"Beginning Saturday. November rs

disclose the lines to be put on sale
until the Thursday or Friday before.
Next Thursdays Pioneer will contain
my first announcement. No discount
will be made on those respective
lines before the sale commences nor
after it closes.

solely and purely for one purpoee,
and that is to give the people a
chance to secure the most for their
money. These specials are all ex-
elusive lines to be found in our store
only. want to get all the people of
Bemidji and the surrounding country
into my store between next Saturday
and Christmas time. It's going to
cost something to do this, but think
it can be done and am going to take
a chance at it.

to be, but can't afford to.

Committees to Formulate Definite
Plans and Launch Scheme Soon
as Possible.
DINE AT FIVE COURSE DINNER
Several Persons Called Upon to Make
Three Minute Talks-Musical
Program Pleases.

Forty Bemidji young men ate and
made merry at an informal dinner at
the Markham hotel last evening and
as result of the event it is likely
that an auxiliary club to the Com
mercial club will be formed by the
younger men of the city.
1t was proposed that such an or
ganization be effected and this sug-
gestion met with apparently unani-
nous approval.
May Establish Gymnasium.
Tentative plans provide for the
leasing of a large room at the rear
of the present Commercial club head
quarters in the new Nangle block and
that this room be fitted up as gym
nasium, athletic equipment and show
er baths being installed.
At the gathering last night it was
understood that committee of young
men be named in the near future to
act with a committee from the Com
mercial clug the young men feeling
that in this work they would be en-
titled to the aid of the older and
stronger organization.

HOLIDAY WEEK.

This is about the time people who
can, want to take their holiday and
it is also the time to go to Haleiwa
where there is good bathing. The
beach is absolutely free from coral
and the water is not contaminated
by sewer outfall. That is something
to think about when bathing is the
subject under discussion. There is
everything the heart can wish Tor at
Haleiwa and the most eXacting patron
.of hotels could demand in the manage

raj Bandholtz is commanding officer
of the Philippine Constabulary and
has been for the past five years about
succeeding General Allen the first
commanding officer of this organiza-
ton. General Allen was a popular
and efficient officer but asked to be
relieved on account of his health. He
returned to duty with his regiment in
the United States army and is now a
Major of the Eighth Cavalry on the
| General Staff, stationed in the Office
of the chief of staff, War Department,

who is also detailed from the rank of
! the regular army, has recently been
promoted from Captaincy in the Sec.
ond Infantry to be a Major in the
same regiment. The Second Infantry
| is stationed at Schofeld Barracks. II
is improbable however that General
Bandholtz will come to this District
for duty as he is so competent by long
experience to govern the Filipino
soldiery. General and Mrs. Bandholtz
are very popular throughout the Phil
| ippines Archipelago, with the native
and American residents.
