The contest among the outside towns grows quite spirited . Miss Brewster, of Bagley, is nowlead- ing and is making a great-hustle. Miss O’Brien, of C: Lake; ha been steadily gaining and C Lake people give. evidence of determination to have. their can- didate at the top at the finish. Married This Afternoon.

CARRIES HER COFFIN North Dakota Woman Comes to Minnesota and Brings Coffin With Her. EXPECTS TO-LIVE THEREST-OF HERDAYS NEAR NORTHOME. Has a Horror of Pine Coffins and Buys a Good One For Herself. No one can deny that Miss Mary Caddigan, who until a short time ago lived in North Dakota ncar Minot and passed through Bemidji last night on her way to Northome, near which village she is to malke her home on a homestead has in faith the northernMinnesota county. Miss Caddigan brought her coflin with her, had it checked as baggage and manifested quite as much solicitation over the way in which it was handled by the drayman who transferred her baggage as if it had been a Turkish portmanteau, lined with silic and packed with $10 bills. In the parlance of the free and easy world if generalappearances are a_ correct indication Miss (addigan is a poor lone woman, with whom the vicissitudes of life have in some way dealt sternly. She talked but little of herself, but in her conversat- jon with the drayman stated that she was on her way to Northome to settle on a home- stead and that she had just ¢cleaned out’ her land interests in North Dakota and determined to come to this section to live. “I have a trink and a coftin that I want taken to the other depot,” she said. “Anything in the coffin, madam?” asked the dray- man, _“Nothing, it’s mme,” was the reply. I don’t want to be buried in no jack pine coftin and 1 brought mine with me.” The coftin was enclosed in an weather—beaten, and ~ securely hidden from the desecrating and inquisite gaze,and was addre; sed in a hard, round fist to Miss Mary Caddigan, Northome. It was checked-into this city as bag- gage over the Great Northern and went.out the same way. Finnish Settlers Arrive. A party of six Finns were at the city hotel last might in charge of an agent of the Crocker -Cro- well Land Co. on their way to Wilton and the covntry north of there where they have been located. All the men were from the Tron range country and have been employed in themines there.

JONES. ordinary rough box, somewhat | BACK FROM EXPOSITION Mr. and Mrs. C. M. Bacon Returned Last Night From St. Louis. MR BACON WELL PLEASED WITH THE GREAT SHOW. Believes It Can be Seen to Better Advantage by People From This Section Next Fall. Mr. and Mrs. C. M. Bacon, who have the distinction of being the first two visitors from Be- midji to the Louisiana Purchase Exposition at St. Louis, returned from a three weeks’ visit at St. Louis last night. They spent most of their time at the fair and return very well pleased with the trip. Leaving Bemidji they had in- tended to make the trip from St. Paul to Stf Louis on one of the Diamond Jo passenger boats, but cold, disagreeable weather caused them to change their mind and for this reason they are home from the trip much sooner than they had expected. Arriving at St. Louis Mr. and Mrs. Bacon went immediately to the fair grounds, where they re- mained until last Saturday night. They stopped at the Inside Inn, the, largest hotel on the grounds and one of the largest in the world, and spent their time at the grounds in aleisurely inspec- tion of the various exhibits and sights of the exposition. Many of the exhibits are not yet com plete. The Minnesota exhibit is one of them. Mr, "Bacon says the horticultural exhibit from Minnesota compares very favor- ably with that of the other states: Speaking of the exposition asa whole, he says it is a great show. He attended the Pan-American at Buffalo and he says the St. Loais evenf, is a very great deal larger and a very great deal better. Contraryto—a-pepular impres sion the living, rates at the fair are not unduly exorbitant. The attendance at present is large, but is not as large as it will be during June. Mr. Bacon says that he should recommend ‘the carly fall as the best time for visitors from this section to see the fair. During July and August the weather will be un- bearably hot at St. Louis and fair visitors will be fatigued with much less effort thanater in the season. AFTER SINNERS. Revi—Frank Higgins is In The City and Wants to Eish. Rev. Frank Higgins. the lum- berjack sbey-pilot, returned to Bemidji last night fora short visit, to look after some business matters and to spend some time fishing here. Mr. Higg; are now living on his farm near Baffalo;-Minn:;—and—will -spend the summer there. He intends to retain his residence here, how- ever, but is more interested he says in the annual tishing match of the saints and the sinners than in anything 'else just at pres ent.
