WILL WRESTLE TONIGHT
Person and Fraction to Meet on Mat
This Evening.

At the Armory opera house this
evening Joe Fraction, of Montana,
and Chris Person, of Duluth, will
wrestle, the style being catch-as-
catch-can, the winer of the contest to
take so per cent of the gate re-
ceipts. ... g.
Person, as a wrestler, has rep
utation of being one of the best men
in the state, and it is expected that
he will be better than ever in this
evenings contest Of strength.
Fraction, is from Montana, and
more than that we canot say, except
that he is big husky looking chap,
broad shoulders with neck like a
bull.
There is quite difference in the
weight of the men, Persons weight
being 200 pounds and that of Frac-
ton only 172.
The main match of the evening
will be preceded by two or three
fast preliminary contests, as there
are four or FIVE 5young wrestlers in
Bemidji who will no doubt be heard
of as experts on the "mat" before
long, the preliminaries will undoubt-
eddy be above the average.
1t is the effort of the management
to give the people of Bemidji, good,
square, clean match and if these
methods are supported by the lovers
of the mat" art in this city, other
contests will be arranged for in the
near future. While if there is not
good attendance at the Armory to-
night, it is more than likely that
there will be no more wrestling con-
tests in the city. -

MINNESOTA TO SEND DELEGATES
No Reason Why Minnesota Should
Not Be Best Corn State in the
Union" Says Welsh.

st. Paul, Jan. 7.-Governor Eber-
hart has given his approval to the
plan of the promoters of the Nation
al Corn Show to be held in Columbus,
Ohio to observe Friday, February 8
as National Corn Day. The govern
or set his stamp of approval on the
plan when he appointed 100 dele
gates from Minnesota to the Column
bus show.
Following the governors sanction
of the plan it was suggested that the
people Of Minnesota have a corl din
ner on February 3. Professor C. P.
Bull, of the department of agron-
omy, Minnesota College of Agricul-
ture, says it will be easy to fix up a
palatable menu and has suggested
the following
Corn Soup, Illinois Style.
Corn Fritters, Illinois Corn Syrup.
Corn Pone, Southern Fashion.
Scalloped Corn, la Minnesota.
Iowa Corn Bread Parched Corn
Corned Beef, So. St. Paul Style.
Corn Starch Pudding, Bourbon Sauce
Parched Corn "Coffee''
Corn Cob Pipes, (Missouri.)
Minnesota, according to George P.
Welsh, state immigration commits
sioner, has better reason for celebra-
ting Corn Day than any other state
in the union. "There was a time,''
said Mr.. Welsh, when everybody
thought Minnesota was too far north
to produce corn in any quantity.
But we have fooled those skeptical
persons in the last few years. Our
agricultural experts have found that
the Minnesota soil is as good for
corn as it is for wheat and the whole
world knows about our wheat. Corn
is now being raised throughout the
405 miles of the states length from
Iowa to the Canadian border. The
yield last year was 100000 BUSH
els and in 1909 it was 100000.
The decrease was due to the fact
that fewer acres were planted in
1870"
Official figures show that Iowa
having been excelled already, Illinois
will soon have to look to her laurels
as a corn producing state if Minnesota
keeps up her achievement in this
branch Of agriculture. Thousands
of acres of fine corn lands are lying
beneath swamps, muskegs and tim
Der lands in Northern Minnesota and
thousands of acres of tiled lands are
devoted to wheat, yet the average
yield per acre for 1909 in Minnesota
was 1913 bushels as against 35.9

Benidji Pioneer Legislative Bureau
(By E. A, WILSON,

st. Paul, Jan. 1T is likely that
the tephens-Saug stad contest will
develope into a sensational episode
in the senate Mr.. Saugstad has
been sworn in as a senator, but Sen
ator Stephens notice of contest has
been placed on file.
1t will be remembered that Mr.
Stephens, who, as senator from
Crookston, has long been known as
one of the keenest and ablest poll
tical leaders of the state, won the
republican nomination over John
Saug stad, the latter being a county
option candidate. Mr.. Saugstad
was dissatisfied with the result of the
primaries and his name was herald
ed as a ''sticker'' candidate and in
this way he won out over Mr.. Steph-
ems.
Senator Stephens believed the elec-
ton of Saugstad had been accom-
plished by over jealous friends of
the county Optionists, even to the ex-
tent of adopting illegal tactics at the
polls. A recount was ordered and
the result will be known within the
next few days, but it is not likely
that, after all illegal ballots, as
construed by those in charge of the
recount, will show any material re-
duction of the Saugstad plurality of
some more than 200 votes.
Senator Stephens was in St. Paul
the first of the week, but his trip
was brief and he gave out nothing
for publication.
Senator Saugstad, however, was
ready to talk, tell it all and then re-
peat it. To him it would be the
grossest injustice to deprive him of a
seat in the senate.
''They have had a fair recount
and after having thrown every vote
that the supreme court has hello
could not be counted, I still am the
victor by safe lead.

Nevertheless Mr. Saugstad will
sleep more soundly when the contes
finally is settled 1t is freely ad
mitted that Senator Stephens woul(
be given a hearty welcome back tt
his old seat in the senate if member
of that body can convince themselve
that there was an injustice done hin
at the polls.
Then, too, the senate, is severa
hundreds of miles from being in low,
with county option. However, i
is not likely that the senators woul,
permit this prejudice to unjustly un
seat Saugstad, in case of close de
cision, this would act in favor O
Mr.. Stephens.
1t is limited by opponents of Sen

Taking Them to Lookup When
Shot to Death.
Duluth, Jan. 7.-William Muzzary,
aged twenty, and Algot Johnson, aged
seventeen, discharged bellboy and
night porter, respectively, of the Hotel
Mckay, held up, robbed and shot at
the night clerk and escaped with $50
belonging to the hotel. They were
arrested and placed on street car
after a chase through the Interstate
bridge district. While being taken
back to the city they asked that they
be allowed to go inside the car, which
request being granted one of the
youthful bandits pulled a revolver
from pocket that had escaped the
attention Of Policeman Harry Ches-
more, who had made the arrest,
opened fire on that officer and killed
him after shooting him twice in the
lungs and once in the forehead.
The robbers then held up the pas
sengers and crew of the street car
and made good their escape over the
Northern Pacific railroad bridge, it is
believed.
The two bandits have thus far
evaded the police and citizens, a
large crowd of the latter having

motor cycles and the entire police
force have been thrown into the saw
mill district, where the robbers may
be. Out on the ice of St. Louis bay
policemen have been stationed to pre-
vent an escape into Wisconsin.
AS the bandits are heavily armed
it is thought that when their place of
concealment is discovered there pos.
sibly will be a gun fight.

From all appearances the La
Toilette boom has burst. This be
came particularly manifest at the
meeting of the national committee
in Washington. There was of
coure, quite an anti Taft sentiment.
This was to be expected, but that
opposition was by no means ready
to unite on MIR. La Toilette. The
New York Worlds Washington
correspondent says that everyone
in Washington, including the press
agents and workers of La Toilette
regard him as a "dead one" Iowa
which has been claimed for Mr..
La Toilette, has practically been
given up as a La Toilette state.
The plan now seems to be to WORK
for anything to beat Taft. They
think it will be easier to secure an
uninstructed delegation, and their
hope is that lightning may yet
strike the Cummins rod. If not
they hope the convention may be
stampeded for Mr.. Roosevelt. The
opposition to Mr.. Taft simply
realize that he holds the trump
cards and they propose to play in
to each others hands in an effort
to beat him.

Some of the radical anti, Taft
newspapers are making themselves
ridiculous by blaming the presl-
dent because the national repub-
lican committee did not order
every state to hold a primary cleo
ton to select delegates to the ma
tional convention. They say the
president was afraid to trust the
people to express their personal
preference for candidate. Out OF
the entire So committeeman pres
ent only seven were in favor OF
such a resolution. The committee
did the only sensible thing that II
could do, and that was to leave
the matter entirely with the states
to determine the method. In states
like South Dakota, where a prl
mary law exists a popular vote VII
be taken, and in states having nc
primary law the prevailing custom
of selecting delegates will be OBJ
served. It is not for the preslden
nor for the national committee t.
dictate to the various states hoy
they shall conduct their primaries
The primary laws of each stat
should be constitutional, and tn
delegates elected according to thes
laws, and further than that
would be presumptuous for the ne
tional committee to go.
