BEMIDJI'S BOOM.
More than 150 houses are either
in the course of construction -in
Bemidji at the present time or
have been completed within the
past few weeks. They have all
been started this season, and the
foundations for new buildings
are being laid almost daily.
This building record is a re
markable one and one which the
citizens of the town may well
point to with pride. The Daily
Pioneer has published in its col
umns from time to time inter
views with prominent visitors ex
pressing their opinion on the
rapid and solid growth of the
town, and these opinions are de
cidedly complimentary.
Bemidji's boom has been a sub
stantial one. It is not a mere
bubble as so many booms
are, which are liable to break at
any moment, but is in the nature
of a lasting and prosperous
growth. The breaking of booms
in towns which have sprung up
like mushrooms in the night is
often caused by the failure or re
moval of irresponsible manufac
turing concerns attracted to the
new townsite by alluring bon
uses. These institutions are
naturally followed by'"crowds of
workmen with their families,
many of whom have barely
enough money to land them in
the new town. Rows of com
pany houses are built, company
stores put in,, etc. When the
factories leave or break up in
business the workman is left on
the town. He does not own -his
home and has no other interest
in the town other than to make
enough money to keep alive.
In Bemidji the houses that
have gone up this spring and
summer are almost without ex
ception built by residents of the
town, many of them workmen
who desire to own their homes.
A large proportion of the houses
in Bemidji are occupied by their
owners who intend to reside
here for years to come. They
are not dependent on cheap man
ufacturing concerns for their
living.
HE anti-kissing society formed
at the Northwestern university
last winter has disbanded. The
two prime movers in the crusade
.against frivolity became engaged
and recanted.

YALE DOWNS HARVARD.
Sons of Eli Win All Three of the Boat
Races.
New London, Conn., June 27.For
the first time on record Yale tri
umphed over Harvard in all three of
their boat races in the annual regat
ta on the Thames. Yale won the
eight-oared 'varsity race by three and
one-half lengths. In all three races
Harvard put up a memorable fight and
went down to defat after gallant
struggles in which her boys rowed out
the last ounce of their strength.
Yale's three victories are attributed
by the experts to the superiority of
the stroke taught Yale by John Ken
nedy over that taught Harvard by
her graduate coaches. So far as phys
ical form was concerned there was no
choice between the crews, except with
the possible exception that the Yale
freshmen outweighed their Harvard
rivals by over seven pounds to the
man. The 'vari/ty race was a sur
prise. The freshman race was con
ceded to Yale, while the four-oared
race was also given to Yale in the
great majority of the predictions.
RECOVERED THE PAINTINGS.
Thief Had Pawned $100,000 Worth for
$1,000.
Port Chester, N. Y., June 27. A
number of cU paintings said to be
valued at nearly $100,000, which were
stolen by William Stevens, have been
recovered in the New York pawn
shops and brought here. There are
twenty-two of the paintings, and sev
eral are by masters of the sixteenth
and seventeenth centuries. .Stevens
pawned the collection in nineteen dif
ferent pawnshops and received less
than $1,000.

REBEL CHIEF IS HONORED.
Venezuelan Government Will Re-es
tablish Its Legation in Washington.
New York, June 27.It is reported
from what are considered good
sources that the Venezuelan govern
ment intends to re-establish its lega

is only a few months since he was
liberated from prison in Maracalbo,

rebellion. He was set at liberty at the
time of the recent trouble with Ger

much for a young man of this city,

to make the best pitcner on earth."

Floor Rooms.
American pushfulness is an unlim
ited quantity. The women are as ir
repressible in society as the men if
commerce. A ortain visitor to th.r
Riviera found tnls out recently. He
was occupying first floor rooms at a
well-known hotel. An of a sudden,
without any introduction or prelim
inary, a note was brought to him
signed by the wife of a well-known
American millionaire. It asked him
whetaer he would object to giving up
his rooms to her niece. He was mueli
amazed, but wrote back inquiring
whether the niece drank. Mrs.
wrote in reply, In surprise and Indig
nation, winding up with an emphatic
statement that her niece did not
drink, .Lord X- concluded "with,
the following note: "Lord re
grets that ho cannot give up his first
floor rooms to Mrs. 's niece,
for he is convinced that, as the young
lady does not drink, it is very much

is for Lord ."London Tat

American Medicine.
Bait!
A class in a Sunday school was list
ening to a lesson on patience. The
topic had been carefully explained, and
as an aid to understanding the teach
er had given each pupil a card bearing
the picture of a boy fishing. "Even
pleasure," Eaid she, "requires the exer
cise of patience. Look at the boy fish
ing! He must sit and wait and wait.
He must be patient." Having treated
the subject very fully, she began with
the simplest, most practical question:
"And now can any little boy tell ma
what we need most when we go Ash-
ing?" With one voice was the answer
shouted"bait!"
Evicted Kaffirs.
The correspondent of a London pa
per, writing from British South Afri
ca, says the Kaffirs are bound to In
crease in population more rapidly
than the whites, whom they already
greatly outnumber, and, being barred
from work in many cases by the Im
portation of cheap labor from India
and forced to leave their land hold
ings, which they retain only under
lease from the Boers, to whom it has
been allotted, and under liability of
eviction, a serious uprising of the na
tives is not beyond the possibilities of
the near future.
Pierpont Morgan's Success.
Pierpont Morgan, who celebrated
his sixty-sixth birthday recently,
achieved his greatest business suc
cesses since he reached the three
score mark. He first became promi
nent in the financial world ahout
twenty ,ears ago, when he went tc
Europe and successfully sold $25,000,-
00 wcrt-h of New York Central stock.
Vhis made the old financiers gasp.
By this piece of work Mr. Morgan
won tho lasting friendship of the late
William H. Vanderbilt and incidentally
cleared 1,000,000 for himself.
Missed His Calling.
An Italian has been discovered on
a fruit ranch at Riverside, working
for $1.50 per day, who proves to be
an artist in sculpture of the highest
rank, and he has been set to -work

interior of the Carnegie library build
ing. Ii"a name is Luigi Ianni, and
the only words in English he can
use are "You bet." He is now at
work on some Corinthian columns of
original design that are marvels as

Point of View.
"Hope springs eternal in the human
breast," remarked the person with a

"Yes.' rejoined the morbid party,
