GRAN RAPIDS HA S
A CINC
Editor Cobb Says Talk Re
garding Removal of Pulp
Mill Makes Them Smile.
IT IS DOING WELL AT GRAND
RAPIDS AND WILL STAY.
District Court in Session and Big
Calendar Is Being Gone
Through Rapidly.
Editor H. Cobb, of the Park
Rapids Enterprise and Grand
Rapids Magnet, was in the city
last night on his way from Grand
Rapids to Park Rapids and
stopped-at the Pioneer office last
night long enough to make his
usual cheery visit.
Speaking of the fact that rumor
has been current for some time
that the Grand Rapids pulp mill
might be moved from that city to
Bemidji, with the development of
the Schroeder water power, Mr.
Cobb says the matter only makes
them smile at Grand Rapids and
no one down that way is visibly
worried about it just yet. Mr.
Cobb says the Bemidji water
power has been investigated by
some Grand Rapids people and
while it is found to be prolific of
possibilities Mr. Cobb says that
he would still call our attention.
to the fact they have a water
power at Grand Rapids that is
one of the finest in the country.
A session of the district court
is at present on at Grand Rapids.
The Coddington murder trial
was called yesterday afternoon
and will be the order of business
perhaps during all the rest of the
week.. Coddington is about sixty
years of age and public sentiment
in the matter of his guilt or inno
cence is about equally divided.
The term is expected to conclude
some time before the holidays.
Thursday Musicale.

tained yesterday afternoon at the
home of Mrs. A. E. Henderson.

The club intends to take up the
study of harmony during the re
mainder of the season. The

In Jail Again.
John Wilson, who says that he
is about all there is in sight of
the East Grand Forks gambling
fraternity since the late moral
upheaval over at that place, and
who was released from jail last
Thursday after serving a sen
tence for the theft of some poul
try a short time ago, was round
ed up again Tuesday in Crook
ston on general principles and
spent Wednesday in cold storage
at the city bastile. General
cussedness seems to be the real
offense, and Chief Creamer and
his men will see to it that he puts
a blizzard between himself and
Crookston when he is liberated.

O O N THE STAGE
Company of Indian Players Will
be Got Together by Mr.
Livingston.
Edward Livingstone, of Omaha,
Nebraska, was in the city last
night on business. Mr. Living
stone is an old theatrical man
and one of the most successful
in the business. To use his own
expression he has "Tommed"
and "heavied" to S. R. O. in
every town between the Golden
Gate of California to the Rock
Bound Shores of New England.
For the past several years Mr.
Livingstone has noted the re
markable access wild west
shows have attained and he has a
new idea. He proposes to get a
band of Indians together to do
the eastern vaudeville houses.
Mr. Livingstone is sure their
dances would make a hit in vaud
eville. His business frequently
brings him to this section and he
announces that this winter he
will make an effort to get a num
ber of Chippewas to take the
road early in the spring to play
in vaudeville and on the summer
resort stages during the sum
mer.
Americans Occupy Guantanamo.
Guantanamo, Cuba, Dec. 11.Four
hundred United States marines and
300 bluejackets were landed here dur

installing of the station ship. The
Cuban and American flags were salut
ed with twenty-one guns.

FIRST GU N OF
THE CAMPAIG N
Washington, Dec. 11.The republi
can national committee was called to
order today at noon by Chairman
Hanna. Every state and territory
was represented by a delegate or a
proxy except Hawaii. The time and
place of the meeting of the National
convention will not be taken up until
tomorrow. Most of the delegates
have given expression to the opinion
that Roosevelt must be renominated
though there is some underlying senti
ment in favor of Hanna.
Two Dozen For Blackduck.
Blackduck American: The
twenty-fourth saloon opened for
business Monday morning. This
one is in the building just com
pleted by the Hamm Brewing
Company of St. Paul. Dave
Beauregard who is in partner
ship with J. W. Ellis in the Mint
saloon, is the proprietor. Mr.
Beauregard's place will be known
as the "Owl." The latter is one
of the most popular saloon men
in the city and will undoubtedly
get the lion's share of the trade.
Big Timber Wolf.
A. S. Ruskjer, of Sclway. this
afternoon claimed a wolf bounty
at the court house for one of the
finest specimens of a timber wolf
ever brought to the city. Wolves
are numerous in the vicinity of
Mr. Ruskjer's home and the one
he brought in today was caught
in a steel trap in the rear of the
barn at his home. When discov
ered this morning the trap was
holding the animal by two toes.

WM. McCUAIG
A "Dead" Give-Away.
Tony was mangled by a falling
tree in the woods and his old
"pal" Jimmie accompanied him
to the hospital. Tony could not
survive the operation, the doctors
told him.
"Billie," he said to his sorrow
ful friend, "I'm a gonerthis trip.
The stuff is off. I've got to hike
to the head camp mighty soonly.
Now, I don't want to be laid out
like a common stiff in the pauper
dump ground. Take this time
check for $30 and bury me decent.
I've got good folks back East and
I want to be planted right."
Sadly Billie took the check,
sadly he cashed it and more
sadly still he spent the cash for
red liquor. While his friend was
dying, under a sidewalk a few
blocks away Billie lay dead
drunk.
It is folly to dwell on his re
pentance in the morning. But
repentant he was and determined
to recover his lost cause.
"Madam," he said to the well
dressed lady who answered his
rap at the door, "do you remem
ber Jimmie Burch?"
"Why, certainly. He is a
nephew of mine."
"No, he aint. He's dead, and
'fore he flunked he asked me to
tell you, so you could fix up the
graveyard blow-out."
Her grief was softened' by
doubt as she gazed upon the face
of the dead. It bore little re
semblance to that of Jimmie's
face as it looked in the faded
album of her memory.
But Billie's eloquence pre
vailed. Satined that the corpse
once happy James, she was
turning away when the cold jaw
relaxed and the mouth opened.
"It aint him. It is not James.
Jimmie had false teeth!"
She was gone and with her
went hope to poor Billie. He
looked at the gaping face of his
dead partnerthe wreck of
many stormsand cried out re
proachfully:
"It is all your fault. I tried to
fix you out right, Tony, and I
would have done it if you would
have kept your blamed mouth
shut!"
From an Ohio Minster.
Rev. G. W Hagants, of Clyde Ohio
says: I have used Dr. Warner's
White Wine of Tar Syrup for sore
throat, weak lungs, cough, cold, and
any diseases of the kind it surpasses
all other remedies. Many thanks to
tbe doctor for his valuabl remedy."
