Many Witnesses to Be Exam- ined and Evidence is of Spicy Character. The divorce suit of Mrs. Per- rault against her husband came up this morning before Judge MecClenahan, and during the en- tire day one woman witness has held the stand, Mrs. Perrault claims in the complaint that her husband mis- used her, and that this was the rea- son that she left her home. She alleges that Perrault treated her ina brutal manner, and ai one time dragged her a considerable distance by the hair and inflicted injuries which caused her bodily pain, Alarge number of witnesses are present at the hearing and it is thought the case will take up several days. The evidence promises to be rather spicy and alarge portion of it would not look well in print. Both the parties in the action live at Farley and the sea of matrimony upon which they sail- ed for a number of years has been turbulent and stormy. As re- sult several spats have occurred between the pair, which fianally ended in the divorce suit instigat- ed by the woman.

Meeting At Opera House Most Thrilling Function Held In Northern Minnesota. The republican rally held last ty was without a doubt the Loug before the speakers were Robert C. Dunn appeared upon the platform a large number of people crowded about the en- trance for admission. Mr. Dunn made a ‘“plain talk,” as he termed it, and before he had half completed his speech the enthusiastic applause given him by his auditors gave expression to the feeling that he need have no fear as to the result on Nov. 8 next. A number of gentlemen who have been identified with the re- publican party from Belorami and Cass counties occupied the plattorm with Mr. Dunn and af- ter a short introduction by L. H. Bailey, Mr. Dunn took the fioor and in a speech characteristic of the man discussed the issues of the campaign in his straightfor- ward and lucid manner, replying to the charges made against him by corporation newpapers and his corporation opponent for gov- ernor. proving that he was en- tirely innocent of any offiaial act which did not warrant the abso- lute approval of every good citi- zen of the state. Mr. Dann stated that he was proud to be on the same ticket as that upon which Theodore Roose- velt would be elected president this fall, and asked that every man who intended to vote for the latter to cast his ballot for a re-| publican governor. He spoke of his official acts during the time he held the office of auditor. and defied John A. Johnson orany of his friends to prove that during the time he held that position he did not with his every effort work for the interests of the pevple of the state, the working men es- pecially. He cited seyeral instances where through his efforts the state had been saved hundreds of thousands of dollars, and of- fered the records of the state auditor’s office as proof in sup- port of his statements. The 4 per cent gross earnings tax, which he ardently supported when he was state official, was| one of the best things ever, Mr. Dunn said, and it would compel the railroads to pay a large bur- den- of the taxes now paid by individuals. Mr. Dunn stated that if the tax was raised from three to four per cent it would add to the amount paid into the treasury of the state about $700,- 000, while at the same time the taxes of the common peorle would be materially decreased. At the time John A. Johnson was a member of the legislature, the drainage bill came up, and when it was voted upon the vote stood thirty-six for and five against, the bill, among the latter being the democratic candidate for governor, Among other in- stances of where the state was saved large sums of money were his dealings with the Little Falls & Dakota railroad, where the state recovered 70,000 acres of farming land in the west central part of the state, some of which now sells for $10 an acre, the Duluth & Iron Range railroad, a similar incidence, and the Hast- ing & Dakota company. He touched on the opposition of his candidacy by several Twin City newspapers, and gave reason for this that Thos. Lowry of the Twin City Rapid Transit com-| pany, was compelled to pay taxes million dollars’ wo thof property | instead of upon cie milliion, after tor. ES PLAIN TALK He aiso spoke at some length upon the charges made against him by Public Examiner Johnson relative to the timber trespass cases, and showed con- clusively that in these matters he had always acted for the best interests of the state, collecting many times more money during the time he was auditor than had ever been collected before he assumed his duties as such. Mr. Dunn’s speech was inter- rupted many times by hearty appause, and when he referred to the Minneapolis Journal as a “mugwump sheet,” the house was almost lifted from its founda- tion and cheer upon cheer went up signifying that the entire meeting was heartily in favor of his views. The Bemidji Glee Club after the conclusion of Mr. Dunn’s ad- dress rendered a selection and were heartily encored. They re- appeared and sang ‘‘Bob Dunn ‘Will Win,” and the house went wild. Hats were thrown into the air, people shouted, and for five minutes the applause was deafening. Prof. Caton was introduced by Mr. Bailey, and in an eloquent flow of oratory he outlined the policies of the republican party, tracing its formation from the time the Pilgrims landed on Plymouth Rock to the present day and eunlogizing those men who made it possible for us to enjoy the privileges of “govern- ment of the people, for the peo- ple and by the people.” He said that those who have made our country whatit is today were not picked from society, but when a real crisis arose the people went to men like Lincoln, Grant, An- drew Jackson and Bob Dunn. Mr. Caton was warmly applaud- ed af short intervals and his ve- marks were logical, to the point and nteresting. U. S. Marshall Grimshaw was nexs introduced. Mr. Grimshaw said that he was glad to have so many ladies present at the meet- ing, ahd was one of the few men in Minnesota who believed that the ladies should have equal rights with the men, and ex- pressed himself in favor of woman suffrage. Mr. Grim- shaw stated that he was a re- publican first, last and all the time, and ever since the time he was big enough to vote had cast his ballot for the republican ticket. He spoke at some length on the tariff, and said that he be- lieved there werea few things that could be remedied in the law, but that in the main it was a good one and had made the coun- try many millions of dollars. He said that he was one of those who, previous to the state con. vention, had supported Judge Collins for governor, but that he was too good a republican to turn down the nominee of the party, and would vote the straight tick- et. While not unfriendly tothe democratic party, he said that during their administration un- der Cleveland the country had been almost ruined, and asked those present at the meeting to take this into consideration when their ballots were cast this fall. Mr. Grimshaw spoke about three quarters of an hour, and concluded with saying that the right thing for any one to do was to find out exactly what the dem- ocratic party was supporting and vote just the opposite. His re- marks were received with hearty applause. At the conclusion of Mr. Grim- shaw’s speech the meeting arose in a body, and, after giving three hearty cheers for Bob Dunn, dis- persed. Messrs.

Since the proposition of re- opening the vaudevilln show house on Second street came there has been a whole lot of dis- cussion pro and con, and the matterhasaroused interestevery- where in the city. Certain sa- loon men who oppose the estab- lishment of the show house have been using their endeavors to prevent it, while another faction are endeavoring to kill the peti- tion which was presented to the city council last Monday night and which received thirty-five signers. £ It is confidently expected by those who circulated the petition that the opening of the house will be prevented oy the council, but strong influence isbeing brought tobear upon the members by the other faction, and the result of itall will be decided at the meeting (f the council Monday night, Consequently. the action of the council is looked for with much interest, and how thev dispose of the petition will decide wheth- er or not the variety will be al- lowed to operate in Bemidji. GROUSE SEASON Only Three Days Remain Before Partridges and Grouse May Be Killed. Bemidji sportsmen are await- ing with impatience the opening of the ruffled grouse season in Minnesota, which occurs Oct. 15. The season on snipe, pinnated grouse, acquatic and prairie chicken has been open since Sept. 1, and these birds have been hunted extensively for the past five weeks. They have been hunted so much, in fact that their ranks have been depleted to such an ex- tent that there are not enough left to afford good sport to the gunner hereabouts, and local hunters are anxious for the time to come when they may get out into the woods after the ruffied grouse. Many prefer going in search of the latter bird, for such ahunt vakes them into the fra grant forests, rather than over the fields and through old burn- ings, as is the case when they go after chicikens and pinnated grouse. Ruffled grouse are reported to be quite plentiful all through the wooded districts of Northern Minnesota this year, and it is ex pected that they will offer the bestof sport to the enthusiastics. 1t is not easy to entirely clean any piece of woods extending over a square mile or more of territory of these birds, no mat- ter how much they are hunted, for it scems that there arealways enough left to raise coveys the following year. As each wmother grouse has from eight to a dozen or fifteen little ones every season, it does not take many coveys to make the woods quite full of game. Even in the older seftled com- munities there apre patches of woods quite close to towns where some of the birds are always to be found. They are afforded much better protection in_the woods than is the case with their near relations, the chickens and pinnated grouse, in the opeu, and consequently the matter of mak- ing them entirely . extinct is the more difficult. It is expected that there will be fine -grouse hunting within easy reach of Be- midji for many years to come, Warner Not Sentenced. Frank Warner, who was con- victed of assault in the first de- gree, has not as yet received sen- tence and Judge Spaoner has not given out when he will act in the matfer.
