A TISSUE OF LIES Arguments Advanced Against Charter Utterly Without Foundation, CRY APPEARS TO BE“ANYTHIN¢ TO BEAT THE CHARTER. Fifty Years the Standard ‘DR ( ‘. ‘ RiCEs - BAKING POWDIR JUMPED OFF THE TRAIN Louis Larson Made Two At- tempts to Elude Officer and Employment Man. HIRED OUT IN BEMIDJI T9 WORK AT AKELEY. Opposition Hard Pushed to Fino| B Cream of Tarfar Powder Found Guilty of Obtaining Money Reasonable Argument Against City Organization. While there are perhaps those who are sincere in their opposi- tion to the proposed city charter, the arguments which are being uysed to secured votes againsi ¢ity incorporation are based upovn absolute falsehood. A short ex amination of them by any on: will bring conviction as to the truth of this statement. Whilc the campaign of those opposea to the charter is purely a person- al one, the fears and prejudicer of every man being appealed to, Hade From Grapes No Alum SEVEN YEARS | FOR MON | AGUE Judge McClenahan Imposes Limit of Sentence on Spooner Man. John Montague, who pleaded guilty to carrally knowing and +busing his daughter, 15 years rather than his reason or his de-|of age, was this mornivg sen- sire for the public weal, the mai arguments which have been ad- vanced against the charter are these: 1. “Mr. Saloon Man, if th. city organization carries, Bemidj will be cut into wards and the people of the city will then hav. the sa , and not you. And the people of the city will then clost you up tighter than a drum.” This is part truth and part falsehood. The people will have a larger voice in the affairs o Bemidji if the charter is adopted, it is .true, but any citizen can compel a strict observance of the law by the saloons justas well ander village organization as under a city organization. No man can point out a single line in | the charter which gives enlarged powers over the saloons. 2. “The charter provides for 4 dozen or more high salaried officers and the expense of run- ning the city will be increased if the charter is adopted.” This statement is absolutely false. The charter provides no salaried officers whatever--not a single one, with the exception of the water commissioners, who are to receive the munificent éompensation of $1 per year. 3. “If we get city organiza- tion, a municipal court will be established. gambling will be stopped and the saloons will have to close at 11 o’clock.” i This argument is based upon absolute falsehood. The charter does not provide for a municipal courtand a munieipal court would have no more power to enforce the law than do the present jus- tice courts. 4, “Nobody wants city organ- ization except the nahobs who live on Bemidji avenue. They have made the village spend a lot ©of money making their street; look pretty and if they get city organization they will make the city spend thousands of dollars for them.” Hundreds of dollars have been spent this summer improving Bemidji evenue, but not one cent has been spent by the city. The property owners along the ave- nue have paid every penny of it. ““The city has not paid me a dol- lar for cement sidewalks, for grading or for boulevarding on Bemidji avenue,” said Mr. Crouch today. 5. “The charter makes alot of laws and if you adoptit you have got to submit to these laws.” The charter does not make any law of any kind and every lawyer in the city will bear out this| statement. It simply directs how the city may be organized; ander the existing state laws:. - | ‘When men are compelled to re- sort to such unfounded argu- ments as these what must be the natural? conclusion. That they have no valid objections to offer renced by Judge McClenahan to serve seven years at Hard labor 1t the state’s prisoon av Stillwater. Montague was given the limiu of sentence for the crime to which he plead guilty, and in imposing the sentence the judge stated to him that he would have received a longer sentence had the law al- lowed. Montague will probably be taken to Stillwater tomorrow by Sheriff Bailey. The case of Astrid Peterson against the Minnesota & Iuterna- tional railway company went to the jury just before noon, but as yet no verdict has been returned. The grand jury is still in ses- sion and had not reported its findings up to 3 o’clock this af- ternoon. BOY’S WILD BALLOON RIDE. | Rope on Aairship Breaks and Youth Sails Thirty Miles. Binghampton, N. Y. Sept. 22— Floyd Wallace of Oneonta, aged six- teen, had an exciting ride in a bal loon that got away from the Oneonta fair grounds. The boy had gone up in the balloon, which was being pulled down in the regular manner, when the rope broke and the balloon and boy rapidly shot up in the air and soon disappeared in the clouds. The balloon rose over two miles before it disappeared from view. The boy managed to get held of the valve rope and let out the gas so that he succeeded in safely effecting a landing at Summit, thirty miles from Oneonta. MARKET QUCHATIONS. Minneapolis Wheat.

The two samples here shown were originally of the same length. the test proved one to be &l wool, consum- ing the partimmersed and 1eaving only the blackened edge. The other proved to be an adulteration containing s large per cent of mecerized cotton. Woolen'will wear in all weathers Argue as they will, one fact remains: Cotton adulterated cloth will neither keep its shape nor wear under any conditions. Pure woolen cloth will. Our Stein-Bloch Smart Clothes are made of pure woolens, tested by the wool test, which is the beginning of all Stein-Bloch Clothes. - Suits and Overcoats $15. to $30. H 7 Schneider Bros
