Schneider's Opening.
The formal opening of the
Scheider Bros, store Saturday
night was a success from every
viewpoint: The Bemidji orches
tra furnished a pleasing musical
program which lasted througout
the evening and attracted large
crowds. The well appointed
store was thronged with people
from early in the evening till
closing time. Some came merely
to see and others to buy, but the
large force of clerks was kept
busy waiting on the customers.
To each person entering the store
a pretty program of the musical
numbers was given. On one side
of the sheet were a number of
helpful suggestions for men' who
would be dressy. Latest styles
of full dress, business dress, day
dress and informal dress were
given.

THE BEST TOWN
O N THE LINE.
Washington Attorney Speaks
of Home Building Going
on in Bemidji.
SAYS RESERVATION' WILL
0PEXED.
BE
Can Probably Be Filed on Within
the Aext Three
Months.
''There is more home building in
Bemidji than in any town between
here and Duluth, or in any town
I have seen on my trip which is
anywhere near the size of Be
midji. The improvements made
since I was here last fall a re
markable," said Chas. H. Bab
bitt, a Washington, D. land
attorney, today, He arrived from
Cass Lake, where he was one of
the lawyers in the Lydick case,
last night.
Mr. Babbit was for Seventeen
years in the United States gen
eral land office and been for nine
years in actual practice He has
been interested in Minnesota
land cases for the most part, and
has a large number of clients in
this state,
The attorney said today that
agricultural laud on the Chippe
wa Indian reserve would be open
to settlement in about three
months. Speaking of lands in
this reservation Mr. Babbit said:
"Next winter from 2.") to S3 per
cent of the timber in the reserve
will be sold and the proceeds al
lotted to the Indians. When I
left Washington officers were go
ing over the lists of lands and had
them two-thirds covered. From
this I infer that they-will be open
ao the homesteader within throe
months, though it may-take some
longer than that. Only agricul
tural land will be open to be tiled
on. All timber tracts will be re
served, or sold by the govern
ment agents.
"When the timber is cut off the
lands those which have not been
allotted to the Indians will be
opened for settlement. There
will be considerable left over
from Indian allotments which
may be filed on.
"I think that from now on the
settlement of Northern Minneso
ta will be more rapid than it has
even been before, and the coun
try tributary to Bemidji will get
its full share of the homeseekers.
The old settled farming commu
nities to the east and south of
here are pretty well filed up now
and the price of land is so high
that a great many are seeking
new homes in the"noVth. North
ern Minnesota is the objective
point for many farmers."
CASE O SUICIDE
Mozie Bacon Took the Car
bolic Acid Route Last
Saturday.
Mazie Bacon, known by the
police as the toughest female
character who ever operated in
Bemidji, tired of her life of de
bauchery and shame, committed
suicide at Blackduck last Satur
day by drinking carbolic acid.
She was only a girl'of 20 years
of age but her reputation in police
circles was one seldom equaled
by older women. Her real name
is said to be Anderson and her
home is supposed to be at Cass
Lake. She drank the acid on
Saturday and died" on Sunday
morning.
It is said that the woman has
been married three or four times,
once to a Bemidji man by the
name of Disham. She has a child
three or four years old.
A BA ACCIDENT.
Runaway Train at Spokane
Kills Three and In
jures Others.
Spokane. Wash., June il-.A
Great Northern train of sixty
cars loaded with coal jumped the
track, going through the freight
house here, wrecking three other
buildings, killing three people
and injuring nine others. One
man is missing and it is thought
he is buried underneath the de
bris.
Very Gratifying.
Exchanges of the
NIEER
DAILY PIO-I
published in the towns
through which the excursion I
trains to Bemidji a week ago yes
terday passed, have said a great
many flattering things about the
entertainment afforded her guests
by the town.
No word of criticism, except
that given in jest, has been of*
fered, but nearly every paper
which had a representative in Bo
midji on the day of the big ball,
game,has come out in an article]
praising the hospitality of Bc
midji's citizens.
This is very gratifying. Be
midji is pleased to learn that the
treatment accorded the visitors I
was satisfactory, and is also
pleased to know that everyone
had a good time.
The following clipping from the
Thirteen Towns, published at
Posston. is especially complimen
tary:
"That the city of Bemidji can
properly care for guests within
her gates, whether but a handful
of visitors or a crowd of several
thousand people, was amply dem-1
onstrated last Sunday, when i
2,-SGG excursionists were shown
awry courtesy and royally en
tertained. It was only a week
previous that the hustlers at hat
place conceived the idea of seenr^
ing two teams from the Northern
base ball league game there on
Sunday last, and as soon as they
were assured that the teams
would play they went to work
and put in new grounds, erected
a grand stand and bleachers, and
put in one of the smoothest and
fastest diamonds in-0"Northern
Minnesota, transforming the vir
gin f0"re~st into elegant base ball
grounds, all within the brief
space often days."
Pike Mounted.
I. Meyer has had the big pike
he caught on the first of June
mounted and it is now on exhibi
tion in his store window. The
fish measured 28 inches inlength
and when caught weighed eight
and one-half pounds. The work
of mounting was done by Henry
Buenther, the Bemidji taxador
mist. The job was a good one and
the fish now presents a very
natural appearance.
Against Duty on Works of Art.
J. Pierpont Morgan, Chas. T. Yerkes
and othur wealthy men have formed
an association the object of which is
to secure a repeal of the tariff duty on
paintings and works of art Imported
into this country. An appeal is to be
made to President Roosevelt and in
dividual members of Congress will be
asked to use their influence to have
the law changed. Mr. Morgan has
more than $1,000,000 worth of paint
ings stored in London, Paris and Per
lin. Yerkes has paintings to the valu
of $250,000 In his London apartments,
and say* he will not bring them here
until the duty is taken off.
