The population of one village in Beltrami county was not taken in the state census recently com- pleted and asa result its resi- dents are up in arms. This vil- |lage is Funkley, at the junction tof the M. & I. railway and the Kelliber spur. The enumerator who took the population of Hor- net township, in which the vil- lage of Funkley is located, evi- dently thought that the village was not a part of the township of Hornet, and the list recently pub- lished does not give Funkley any population at all. A letter has been forwarded to Secretary of State Hanson, however, stating ge of Funkley is en- titled to a separate count, and it is expected that the secretary of i state will make arrangements to {gn'e the village its just dues in the way of census enumeration. What the Minot (ptic says about “The Banker's Child.” Last night a large audience witnessed the play, “The Bank- er’s Child” at the opera house and every one present left at the close of the play ‘with the highest praise for Harry Shannon’s play. it has beena long time since a play has come to Minot as elevat- ing in its tone and as prettily staged and costumed as ‘The Banker’s Child,” The elegant costumes are seldom equalled on the stage and the play from be- giuning to end is intensely inter- esting. Little Stella, known as ber of trespasses and that the the Banker’s Child, is a marvel. matter will be reported to the de partment. Mayor A. E. Underwood of} Solway arrived in the city this afternoon to spend a short time here on business. She pluyed her partin a manner| which captured the entire audi ence. The specialties were very fine last night, It is hoped by wany who saw the play last night that this company will play a return date in Minot. On Spoous, T , Napkin Ring: Book Marks, Cay and Rings.
