o] FIRE LOSS OF $2,000 Bemidji Hotel Gutted By Flames at Early Hour This Morning. FIREMEN CONFINE BLAZE TO ONE BUILDING. Property Adjoining Burning Building Saved After Heroic Effort. A fire which gutted the Be- midji hotel, and which might have proven much more destruc- tive had not the members of the fire department done excellent werk, occurred at 5 o’clock this morning and as a result, property valued at $2,000 was destroyed, The losses and insurance, so far as can be ascertained up to the present time, are as follows: Mrs. A, Aller, owner of building and furniture, $1,400; insurance $1,300; Chas. Campbell, damage by water, smoke and through re- moval of goods, $300, covered by insurance; H. S. Annette, cloth- ing and furniture, $200, no insur- ance. : A defective chimney is given as the cause of the blaze, which originated in the garret. The fire was not discovered until it had gained a good foothold in the upper portion of the building, and when the guests were aroused many of them fled from the structure, securing only a small portion of their wearing apparel. Upon the arrival of the firemen the building was @ mass of lames ph the inside, and for some time it looked as if the building ofcu- FIGHTER GETS EAR BIT OFF Melee Between Two Wood- Choppers Ends Disas- trously For One. Bagley, Jan. 22.—Hugh Ruddy and Paul Raasch, two wood- choppers working in the A. J. Gronner wood camps two miles north of Bagley, got into a drunken row Saturday night and in the melee Ruddy bit off Raasch’s left ear. The disput- ants were both under the in- fluence of liguor and were put out of the camp before they got into the row, so no one witnessed the fracas. Ruddy surrendered himself to the sheriff on Sunday and is now lodged in the county jail. He will have a hearing to- day. Both Ruddy and Raasch are looked upon as bad men when under the influence of hquor. » The wood camps in the vicinity of Bagley report a scarcity of men, Dies of Heart Failure.

The question was. brought. up at the attormey general’s office by M.D. Stoner, county sur- veyor of Beltrami county, who had some doubt as te the legality of the action of the legislature in taking a part of Cass. couniy and adding it to the territory of Bel- trami. This act was passed sev- eral years ago, when both Bel- trami and Cass were unorganized counties. Upon investigating the matter the attorney gemeral found that accerding te the con- stitution of the state the legisla-~ ture could not take. such actiom in case the county from which the territory is to be taken is or- ganized. Thus, the law implies that. the: legislature has such right in the case of an unorgan- ized county, The Mississippi river was the northern boundary of Cass county up to the time of the or- ganization of Beltrami ' county, when the town line between townships 145 and 146 was made the southern boundary of Bel- trami county.

He went to Faribault about five months ago and an examination of the tumor was wmade, but after the skull had bhéen opened it was found that to perform an opera- tion for the removal of the tumor would result in instant death, and the opening was closed. His condition grew gradually worse, until yesterday afternoon, when he finally succumbed. Relatives living in Bemidji were notified of Mr. Sprague’s death, and Fred W. Sprague, a brother of the deceased, left this charge of the remains, which will be brought to this city Wednes- day for interment. Although all the funeral arrangements have not been made, it is probable that the services will be held Thursday., New Store Now Open.

A PLAIN STATEMENT. Quality of Beer Depends. lUpom Superiority of/ Matenials, Treatment and Maturity.. Purity is a universal essential in all beers. The observamce of cleanliness and sberilization will secure it. Healthfulness, eombined with flavor and taste, constitutes real quality, and these are impossible without the very best materials jand the highest order of treat- ment. This is what seience and ex¥perience teach. Quality, dependimg upon the character of matersals and the methods employed, is the real goal for competition among brew- ers. Matexials: To provide the public with a really good, palat- able and wholesome beer of the highest quality, we use the best barley-malt, the highest gradel hops, superior yeast, and in all pale beers a small percentage of rice. In all our beers we use the best and purest materials, re- gardless of cost, Corn we never use, although it is not excluded by authority, and has the advantage of cheapness. We use no substitute of any kind vo reduce our expense. We spare neither money nor care to fortity and increase our well-earned and long-established reputation. Treatment and Maturity: We employ only the most modern methods in brewing; our latest acquisition being 200 glass-lined steel tanks made by the Pfaudler Co. of Rochester, N. Y. The beer, after leaving the brew kettles, is conveyed to glass enameled fer- menting vats. After fermenta- tion it is lagered (aged) from four to five months in the glass lined steel tanks before it is bot- tled; thus absolute purity of our beer is insured, because itis in glass from the time it is brewed until it is consumed. Our pres- ent storing capacity of 600,000 barrels is more than that of any other two breweries in the world, Thess= facilities enable us to age our beer the length ¢f time necessary to guarantee its purity and maturity—not in printer’s ink—but in fact. ; For these reasons Budweiser, the King of Bottled Beers, must and does command a higher price than any other beer, and at the same time has a greater sale than all other bottled beers.
