ADVERTISED FOR A WIFE IN “HEART AND HAND Marries Charming Widow After a Corrczpondence of About a Year. The old saying that it pays. to advertise has just been developed true again in Bemidji, and the advertising which brought re- sults this time was not the kind that is in‘every day use, was not done in the local papers and/is the sort that is as a rule least ex- pected to secure satisfactory returns. A short time ago a well known laboring man who has many friends in this city went east os- tensibly on a visit. Saturday night he returned to the city with a wifeand family of grown up children to the amazement of his many friends. Since then the story which has leaked out is-as hats and other.equally incongrous things. Mr. Wright always brings the boys around all right and is thinking of becominga specialist in this line. A Kleptomaniae. The police departmentis under| the impression that Bemidji has one of the most skillful shop-lift: ers in this section of the country. Complaints of petit thefts from the stores of the city have been quite frequent of late and the officers are on the lookout for the kleptomaniac. The Schroeder | store has several times been vic- timized, the dry goods depart ments at’ two more ‘stores com- plain of small thefts and the work is apparently that of soime one who is an adept at the busi- as so far therd is absolutely no clue to the thief. . - MAN MISSING Ownerof Valuable Team of Horses Fails to Claim'His Pro- perty. One week ago_last night a stranger drove up to the livery barn of Wm. Bagley and secured stabling for a team of draught horses.

Theteam is a valuable one and the man who brought them to the barn did not give his name or state where he had come from.- The search in- tituted tolocate him has. resulted in nothing except that so far as is known the last time he was seen was Wednesday morning of last week when he was in a hi ghly intoxicated condition. “YOUR MONEY IS NO GOOD” ‘and will be refunded to you if after us- ing half a bottle of % THE FAMOUS RHEUMATISM and BLOOD CURE you are not satisfied with results, This is our guarantee which goes with | every bottle. | Por Sale and Guaranteed Only by Reed’s , uio Sor Doy Bhotograghs and Wedding Stougs IN ANY STYLE, FINISH OR PRICE.

The Beltrami County News, the |official paper of the village will hereafter print the proceed- ings- of the city council in their official form as prepared by Re- corder Bailey. The law does not require that the council proceedings shall be published but in every town and village of the state of any im- portance the proceedings of the council are published neverthe- less, the idea being that the official acts of the council should be open for the nspection of the people at large. However, since the council en- tered upon its present term the proceedings have not been pub- lished. City Attorney Russell 278 Ghe Clothie We Are Particularly Interested in Showing ~ Our Large and B A T OCK advised the council at the time - the printing contract was let that the newspapers were entitled to legal rates for their work and made a talk which was appreci- aten by every publisher in the city in which he also advocates the publication of the proceeding. Last night the matter came up again and Recorder Bailey stated that he believed. - the people had a right to know what the council was doing and the only way the great mass of them could be keptinformed was by haying the proceedings pub- lished. A motion putito' the ef- fect that the proceedings be pub- lished was carried. Mr. Bailey has always been a friend of the local 'newspaper and his action in championing the rights of the publishers since the matter has been up for. con- sideration is * appreciated by. every newspaper man in the city.
