GIVE CONCERT- FOR LIBRARY Benefit Concert fbr Public Library to Be Given Next Tuesday Evening. A benefit concert will be given for the Bemidji Public Library at the Opera House next Tuesday evening. The program, which will consist of vocal and instru- ‘mental selections, by local talent will be under the direction of Mr. E. H. Jerrard. The library depends entirely upon the voluntary support of the people of the city and for that reason, if for no other, the concert should be liberally pat- ronized. The program will be one, however, of unusual strength and excellence, Bemidji having abundant musical talent of excep tional ability. The ladies who have charge of the concert will issue an adver- tising program which has been liberally patronized by the busi- ness men of the city and which will in itself next the association a considerable sum of money. MAY HOLD IT JULY FOURTH Modern Woodmen Arrange for District Meeting to Be Held Here. At a meeling of the local lodge of Modern Woodmen last even- ing arrangements were made for the district meeting of the order to be held here some time this summer. All of the camps of the state within easy access to Bemidji will be represented at the meeting, many of the camps preparing to send large delega- tions. It was decided last evening to hold the convention July 4 if pos- sible. The matter will probably be presented for consideration at the meeting of the Business Men’s club this evening. If this date can be fixed upon the meet- ing will probably be made a three day affair and the conven- tion will be a more pretentious affair than at first arranged. WOLVES IN QUANTITIES Forty-Seven Wolves Brought in to Polk County in Ten Days Just Passed. Crookston Times: The spring wolf season is at the present time fairly on and according to the recordsin County Auditor Hoffard’s office, the farmers of Polk county are making, more than usual, sums of money from their industry in ensnaring and capturing the blood thirsty brutes and their litters of young, During the past ten days Mr. Hoffard of Polk county has re- ceived at his office in this city the pelts and heads of forty-seven wolves and has paid out in state bounty for them the sum of $121.- 50. Farmers of the Red River Valley are taking advantage of the spring “new crop” of little wolves and are lining their pockets with the greenbacks so generously offeréd by the state for the killing of the animals. Wolves in their lairsat this time of the year if tracked -are ferocious and the work of captur- ing them while guarding their young is no easy job. The $7.50 per head offered by the state for big wolves, the $2 for the cubs and the value of the hides isa great inducement to farmers and hunters, however, and hundreds of the animals are being slaught- ered, not however without many exciting adventures. J. E. Wilkins is a Cass Lake visitor in the city. Mrs. E, E. McDonald returned last evening from St. Paul where she has been for medical treat- ment for some weeks past. Mrs. MecDonald is very much improv- ed having practically regained her usual health. FOR RENT—Nine room house in ood condition. Apply at Great %Iorthern depot.

Mayors and school officers are appealed to by the American Flag association, an organization formed ““to promote reverence for and prevent desecration of the flag of our country,” to help make observance more general this year than ever before. Itis L D’S EYES Young Albert Spicer, Shot in Eyes, Returns From St. Paul Cured. In February Albert Spicer, an 11 year old boy living four, miles south of Solway, while playing with a gun, discharged the weapon and part of the charge ledged in his eyes: It was feared at first that the boy would loose both eyes, but he was sent to St. Paul and -placed in the care of Dr. Boeckmian, an old friend and teacher of Dr. Blakeslee. The lad came home today with one eye completely cured amd with the other much improved. Owing to the friendship exist- ing between - Dr. Blakeslee and Dr. Boeckman the care of the boy’s eyes and their cure was! affected without expense to the county. desired that flags be displayed on all public buildings and upon private residences. Appropriate exercises in the public schools are requested, and these are out- lined in a circular mailed by the Flagassociation. Flag Day in this city has never been observed to any great ex- tent, the only sign of the day on display being the stars and stripes about the city. This year, however, it is probable or pos- sible that an effort will be made toget up an appropriate Flag Day service. The fact that June 14 so directly follows Decoration Day and its extensive com- memoratory program rather affects Flag Day and makes it of less importance to the average mind. “Death was fast approaching,’ writes Ralph F. Fernandez of Tampa, Fia., describing his fear- ful race with race, ‘“as a result of liver trouble and heart disease, which had robbed me of sleep and of all interests in life.
