family in the parIor.
1t was while in the parlor that
death came, which was later found
to have been caused from apoplexy.
T. K. Boyer, a son, who is located
in Burlington, Iowa, and who is
manager of the fruit dispatch in that
city, was in Minneapolis at the time
of his fathers DEATH

ARGYLE TO HAVE SALOONS
City Council Of That Place Have
Fixed License at $1,000.

Tuesday evening at Argyle, the
village council settled the saloon
question for this year by fixing the
license at $1,000 each, and there will
be saloons there this year. The vii
1age voted in favor of saloons by a
very narrow margin at the last cleo
ton.
The old council passed a resolution
favoring placing the license at
$4,000, which would be prohibitive,
and many Argyle people pledged
themselves that if Warren voted to
keep saloons out that Argyle would
place the license so high as to be
prohibitive.
Warren voted dry but the swets''
OF Argyle put up great fight and
managed to get three councilmen
with them.
At the council meeting Tuesday
evening Alderman Fred keye, Frank
Lafond and John O'Holloran voted
for $1,000 license and Alderman T. K.
Onstad and E. A. Brekke voted in
favor of $4,000 license.
Argyle can have two saloons under
the law limiting the number to one
for each 500 population and two Ii
censes will be granted at once.

There was not a dissenting voice
when it was proposed to form a state

Given Good Places on the House Com
mlttees-Minnesota Congress-
men Fare Well.
SELECTIONS MADE BY MANN
Minority Leader Announces Repub.
lican Members-Steenerson on
Postofice Committee.

Washington, April 12.-Northwest-
ern progressives were handsomely
recognized in the assignment of house
committees made by Minority Leader
James r. Mann of Illinois. Many of
the progressives land committee places
of the first rank.
For example, Representative l. L.
Lenroot of Wisconsin, La Toilette
leader, was given a place on the COM
mittee on rules-the political commit.
tee of the house.
Representative E. H. Madison of
Kansas, another progressive, was also
assigned to the rules committee. Rep.
resentative G. w. Norris of Nebraska,
the progressive who led the fight
against the Cannon organization in the
last congress, was given place on
the committee on the judiciary, a
much more important assignment
than he had in the last congress.
An examination of the committee
list made up by Minority Leader Mann
discloses that it is the purpose, if pos.
sib1e, to harmonic the factional diff
ferences in the party.
Minnesotans Fare Well.
Minnesota Republicans Jared well in
the allotment of committee places. The
state retains practically all the i'm.
portant places it had in the last con.
gress, losing military affairs, which
was reliquished by Representative
Stevens, and appropriations, vacated
by the retirement of James A. Tawney.
Representative Sidney Anderson,
known to fame as the man who, sue
ceeded Mr.. Tawney, Jared as we'll as
new members usually do. He was
placed on elections No. 2 and the com.
mittee on pensions.
While Representative F. G. Stevens
vacated military affairs he advances
in rank on the important committee on
interstate and foreign commerce, be
coming the first Republican on that
committee, Minority Leader Mann hav.
ing retired himself from that organiza.
ton.
Representative Halvor STEVENSON,
who lost an important committee
through the adjustment of the mill
tia committee, was assigned to post.
offices. The other Minnesota mem
bers retain their old positions.
Martin Is Promoted.
There was only one important
change in the committee assignments
of the Dakota members. Representa-
tive E. w. Martin Of South Dakota
was transferred from public buildings
to interstate and foreign commerce, a
substantial promotion. Representa-
tive G. H. Burke, who was chairman
of the Indian committee in the last
house, was named ranking minority
member of the committee by Mr..
Mann. Representative l.. B. Hanna of
North Dakota, who was on agricultur
al and Indian affairs in the previous
house, remains on agriculture, his col.
league, Representative Helgeson, be.
inc assigned to Indian affairs. Repro.
sentative John J. Esch of La Crosse
Wis, remains on interstate commerce
So far as can be learned there is little
complaint by Republicans over the
committee assignments made by Nj
nOrity Leader Mann. Some of the
progressives promoted by Mr.. Mann
were opposed to his selection as

Prominent Bemidji Business Man to
Succeed A. A. ,Melges-Appoint-
ment is Good One.
SCHOOLS TO BE CLOSED FRIDAY
Present Corps of Teachers With But
Few Exceptions to Return-Miss
Donaldson Accepts Position. .

At the meeting of the Bemidji
Board of Education held last evening
the matter of appointing a member
to succeed A. A. Melges, who recent
ly moved to Minneapolis was
brought up.
S. J. Harvey was suggested for the
position, and his appointment fol-
lowed.
The appointment of Mr.. Harvey to
the school board meets with the gen
eral approval of those who are inter-
ested in the Bemidji public schools,
as he is prominent in Be-
midi business circles, is a property
owner, and a man upon whose
shoulders the cares and responsible
tiles of being member of the school
board may we'll be placed.
The board decided that there
should be no school on next Friday,
which is Good Friday.
When interviewed by a represen-
tative of the Pioneer this morning
superintendent of schools w. P. Dyer,
was feeling in, the best of spirits, he
having just received notice that Miss
Ethel Murray, who has SO ably filled
the position of music instructor dur
ing the past year, will return to Be-
midi next year. Miss Murray had
up until this morning been very un-
decided as to just where she would
teach next, having received several
offers.
Mr.. Dyer also said that he had re-
ceived word from Miss Floy Donald
son, to the effect that she would ac-
cept her election to teach in the Be-
midi schools next year.
Miss Donaldson, had accepted her
reelection for this school year, but
when school opened last fall she was
forced to give up her position on &C
count of the serious condition of her
eyes.
A list of this years instructors who
will return to Bemidji next fall are
