T*^ ,tf GET TOGETHER IN EVENING All Farmers and Bemidji Men Urged To Inspect the Train and At tend Smoker. SEND POSTAL CARD NOTICES Have Been Mailed Out by H. C. Baer And A. E. NelsonJJig Crowd Expected. Fifteen directors of the commer cial club will sit down to a banquet served in the high school by the do mestic science girls to the directors and the men and women who are coming here with the Soo line agri cultural special on Saturday" after noon. Following the banquet an in formal smoker for all of the busi ness men of Bemidji will be held in the Commercial club rooms. This plan of entertainment for the visiting specialists was decided upon at a Commercial club meeting Tuesday evening after an .hour of discussion 'as to the best means at the command of the club. A formal banquet was proposed but it was be lieved that a meal prepared by the domestic science girls would carry more appeal. Each one of the direc tors is to have one of the visitors as his guest. In order to thoroughly advertise, the special and tor get-personal in vitations to each farmer,- Secretary Baer was instructed -to have 500 postal card announcements printed and mailed to all farmers in this sec tion of the country. In addition to the cards mailed out by the Commer cial club, A. E. Nelson, instructor in agriculture in the high school, has sent out post cards to a list of farm ers and to the teachers of every rural school. As the speeial train will be open in Bemidji from 3 to 5 p. m. Satur day, it is believed that every farmer within a radius of ten miles will come to the city to see this model farm on wheels. The Soo train was prepared by professors in the state University who are not only expert farmers but also expert extension workers. The cars are being fur nished by the Soo line but the ex hibits are taken mainly from the state University. The train is a com plete farm from the barn to the kit chen. The train consists of eleven cars, nine of which are filled with exhibits. One car is used as a sleeper for the travelers, one is used for forage and xn is fitted up as a lecture car. Be tween twelve and fifteen experts are with the train and during the two hours on Saturday that it will be open these men will demonstrate the new farm methods and tell of better ways to work Beltrami county soils. President Vincent and Dean Woods have said that they would be with the special two days and they have been urged to come Friday and Sat urday so that they can spend Satur day in Bemidji. The train will be the most com plete traveling farm that has ever visited Bemidji and the Commercial club hopes that many farmers from the Red Lake and M. & I. lines will come to Bemidji Saturday to see it. A. L. Molander will be asked to hold the Saturday afternoon Red Lake train so that farmers from that line can stay to inspect the train.' All business men of Bemidji join with the Commercial club in urging the farmers to come to Bemidji to see the train. The Commercial club rooms will be open to them all day and they are asked to go in and make themselves at home. Mr. Nel son will be with the train all after noon and wiir take an active part in the proceedings. *r'*^lf I :D VISITORS AT THE HIGH SCHOOL Directors of Commercial Club -and Soo Special Lecturers To Have Sapper Together Saturday.

F# CR00IST0 N GAM E Coach Boemer Refuse! to Come to Bemidji Claiming He Haa Three J" Men Injured. MAT PIY GRAND RAPIDS Coach Carson of the Bemidji high school foot ball team yesterday re ceived a letter from Coach Itoemer of Crookston stating that the Crooks ton team would be unable to fill the engagement with Bemidji high next Saturday. Rcemer states that three Crookston wen are down in their subjects. The team is crippled so badly that it would be useless to meet as strong opponents as Bemidji. One Crooks ton party that was in 'Bemidji re cently- stated that Crookston had heard that Bemidji had taken some men from the saw mill and started them in to school so as to be able to play in the Crookston game. This is not ao, however, as every man in^ the Bemidji team are regular mem bers of the school. Peck started in school some time ago but he was not taken from the mills but came of his own accord. This game will not count against Bemidji for the champ ionship because when a team forfeits a game the game is. counted for the opponents. Last year Bemidji filled their en gagement with Crookston on their grounds although Bemidji's three best players were out of the game for various reasons. Coach Carson will try to induce Grand Rapids to come here next Sat urday as the Bemidji team is confi dent of victory if given a chance. If Grand Rapids comes the cooking class will give a big supper in honor of the visitors and dance afterwards. Basket ball will start immediately after foot ball season has closed here in Bemidji. Class games of great in terest will be pulled off this year as a silver loving cup will be given to the class which develops the hesf team. Every class has excellent ma terial and all are bound to do their best and win the cup for their class. The best players will be picked from these teams and started to work im mediately after' Christmas in devel oping a first team to meet out side .opponents. TWO IMPORTANT PROMOTIONS.

Chicago The indications here this afternoon are that Roosevelt has swept Illinois and will have a plur ality of close to 100,000 votes. "Uncle Joe" Cannon has been de feated. MUSKRATS WOULD SAVE SKINS. Muskrats 'always given to select ing building sites near lake prop erty, are declared to be building bet ter houses this year than last. By wishbone weather prognostication this is taken to indicate a cold1, open winter. By the hunter it is taken to mean that these little animals are taking greater precautions to save their skins. The necessity was not so urgent in 1893. when a muskrat skin brought from five to ten cents as compared with present prices, sixty to seventy cents. Comparison of prices now and in 1893-4, made by the Northwestern Hide & Fur company of Minaeapolis, show a great advance in the value of pelts of fur-bearing animals. Mink, then sold for $1.65, now bring $8 skunk skins have advanced from $1 each to $4 ylnx skins now bring $30 as com pared with $7 nineteen years ago. WARNING TO WATER USERS. City Mains Contain Lake Water and Housekeepers Should Be Careful. During yesterday's fire it became necessary to pump water from the lake into the water mains and as a Tesult the mains throughout the city will be somewhat contaminated with impure water. Doctor L. A. Ward, city health officer has issued the fol lowing caution: "Boil all water used for drinking purposes out of the city mains during the next week. The water is not considered pure and housekeepers should take every pre caution." i Steps have already been taken by some of the business men to ask the -city council to prepare for a more adequate water supply. At the prev ent time it is understood that the city' has but one good pure water producing well and that this is en tirely inadequate has been recently demonstrated. HI8T0WCAL SOCIETY- TEN CENTS PER WEEK. GEIL IS PROBABLY NEXTI1EASWM Has Lead.of Fifty-four Over Mafe -f at 2:30 P. It, and It Is Increasing. ~"^~-SI- MOON IS CROWDING Present Register of Deeds Has Mar row Margin Over the Socialist Candidate. STANTON RUNNING STRONG Returns Indicate He Will Be Hast Chief Justice Johnson Gets Big Vote. The vote of twenty-seven counted at 2:30 today gave Geil 864 and French 810 for county treasurer. On the face of the returns in at the Pioneer office at 2 p. m., George French will be the only county offi cial not returned to the office. He will also be the only Republican can didate on either the" state or county ticket to lose in Beltrami county. At the present time, Mr. French, is run ning far behind his ticket and Q*H has a slight lead. Friends of Jim Harris and C. O. Moon are surprised at the f**t be tween the two. Moon canted his home country by a wide margin hat did not poll as strong a vote in Be midji as he expected. At press time it appeared that Mr. Harris woui% be re-elected unless the Northern sd of the county goes against- *{m^ solidly. i _._ Over half of the vote OTa_aan-: ty was in the Pioneer office at 2_p. m. Wilson will probably carry the county with Roosevelt a good eee ond. Steenerson appears to be lead ing Brattland here by a vote -of two to one. The Socialist vote in gen eral has not followed strict party lines as both Weber and CroweU have run far behind their tickets. Republican state candidates carried the county with ease. General reports from all over the state indicate that Stanton will be the next chief justice as he had re ceived a tremendous vote in the north country and is running strong all over the state. The landslide for_ Wilson is increasing. Taft will prob ably carry Vermont, Idaho, Montana -and Utah and Roosevelt is conceded Illinois only. Minnesota is still in the doubtful column. Indications are that the national vote is a rec ord breaker. Following is a table of the county vote as compiled at 2 p. m., from twenty-two towns and villages of the sixty seven precincts.
