| | | | t | BIG VOTE IS CAST Indications That There Will be a Record Breaking Vote in City. ALL THE CANDIDATES ARE CON- FIDENT. Ladies Will Cast Nearly One Hundred and Fifty Votes. At four o’clock 275 votes had been cast in the First d and 205 in the Second ward, making a total of 480 for the city. The ladies had cast 110 votes at that hour. Nothwithstanding the inten- sity of the tight, Bemidji has been quieter today than for many elections past. A big vote I been polled but it has been a lent vote. All the candidates profess to be confident. The hottest tight of the day and the one which has absorbed the general interest has been that for county attorney. Outside of the candidates them- selves and their immediate work- ers there is a tendency to con- cede Mr. Gibbons between forty and fifty per cent of the vote in the city and about thirty per centof the vote at Nymore. If his strength proves as greatas this his election is certain. Estimates of the total vote in Bemidji and Nymore vary from 700 to 900. At 4 o’clockit seemed possible that 700 votes would be cast in the three precints. At 3 o’clock 65 votes had been cast at Blackduck and the same number at Nymore.

Princess Grocery Co NEBISH, THE - ACCURSED Dr. Egan Writes Entertain- ingly of His Trip to Red Lake. HE SCORES THE RED LAKE KAILROAD. Pays a Deserved ’l‘;ihute to The Catholic Sisters Laboring at Red Lake. The current number of the Northwestern Chronicle, pub- lished at Milwaukee and St. Paul, contains a two column descrip- tion of the journey from Bemidji to Red Lake and return from the pen of Dr. Maurice Francis Egan that is both complimentary and caustic — complimentary as to nature and caustic as to man. Dr. Egan declares that Nebish ‘lis “an accursed looking settle- ment” and the old Red Lake Transportation company’s rail- road “leads no where in particu- lar’”” and “exists merely for the benefit of the saloonkeepers of Nebish.” Dr, Egan is saddened by the awful work of whiskey among the Indians and speaking of the frequent reversion of the educated Indians says: “The saddestcases one sees are those of reyersion. The Carlisle Indian girl who has learned what the life of a civilized home means, found here, in the home of her ancestors. When she speaks to you, you expect Chippewa or ‘pigeon’ English. On the con- trary, she will answer your ques- tions with careful attention to the subjunctive mood, and show her papoose, swaddled in clothes of Indian bead work, without an apology for her ‘reversion’. Her husband—I am speaking of a particular case,—-lay dead drunk in the tent, with a half dozen small children crawling about him, He to, had been at une of the Indian schools, and had stood first in Latin examination.”” Dr. Fgan writes delightfully of “the most agreeable of summer resorts, Bemidji,”” of the beauties of wood and lake and field, of the abundant hospitality of the Spear’s home at Red Lake and devotes several appreciative para- graphs to the noble work of the Benedictine Sisters at Red Lake, not forgetting the unselfish labors of the priests. #To see a little nun,” says Dr. Egan, ‘“tenderly dressing the eyes of the scrotulous child, who immediately joined in the game of ‘London Bridge’ was a lesson which no man could understand, though he might dimly catch its meaning,. These sisters ask no- thing. Two of them were patch- ing wierd frocks under a kero- sene lamp of a terrible gloom, but they smiled, and then” shud- dred over the very ‘long and dan- gerous’ journey to Washington, as if they lived in Paradise. And what they most wanted was a ciborium for the church,-though, from the point of view of the observer, ladies who had to do such squalid work in such squalid conditions, needed more than that.” COURT CONVENES Judge Spooner Opened Session This Morning—Adjourned Until Tomorrow. The September term of dis- trict court was convened this morning by Judge Spooner, but no cases were tried. The pre- liminary reading of the calendar took place, the attorneys inter- ested being in attendance, The court then took an adjournment until tomorrow morning at 10 o’clock.

The party started Trom Se- attle, Wash., four days ago and have traveled ever since, taking their meals in the car, and when seen at noon today taking their dinner, presented one of the jolli- est congregations ever assem- bled together. They are bound for their Fatherland and look forward tothe time when they can see their fathers, mothers, sisters and brothers with that delight known only to those who have emigrated to a strange country and strived to make a home. Old and young seemed to share alike the joy of once more behold- ing their native land and talked enthusiastically of their home- coming. Theleader of the party, in discussing the ‘rip, said “Yes, weare a jolly lot, and I tell you that were you inour position it would seem so to you.

REPORT THAT SUIT BROUGHT BY HUSBAND IS UNTRUE. Complaints Alleges That Perrault Beat His Wife and Left Her Insensible. The case of Perrault vs, Per- rault, which will come up for trial at the coming term of court was brought by Mrs. Perrault, instead of Mr. Perrault, as here- tofore stated upon information given out by that gentleman. Ac- cording to the complaint, as given out by the attorney for the wo- man, Perrault on April 12 last entered a house in Farley in which his wife was takingwefuge from him and broke open the door, catching his wife by the hair and dragging her across a block over stumps and logs and beating her in the meanwhile so that when some of the neighbors who heard her cries for help in- tervened the woman was insensi able.
