Paris, Feb. 3.—The safeguarding of France’s prepondering political influ- encé in Morocco appears to be the main point of the French programme at the Moroccan conference at Alge- ciras. On other questions France is prepared in a liberal spirit to meet any proposals formulated, but she will take a firm stand relative to the po- lice. Such is the view expressed in quarters enjoying the confidence of the ministers here, where it is also affirmed that the French delegates are determined to await the disclosure of Germany’s proposals before making ]mown their own propositions. It is argued that thls waiting attitude is justified by the fact that the desire for a conference emanated from Ger- many, which should, therefore, take the initiative in declaring its views. The French cabinet possesses the unanimous support of the country in maintaining the principle that France’s position in Algeciras gives it the right to a predominant voice in Moroccan affairs. Any other solution of the con- ference will be regarded by the coun- try as a display ot weakness and the view is generally expressed that a re- turn to the status quo would be prefer- able.

It was sown in drills so thickly that no ears were formed. The drills were three feet apart, allowing cultiva- tion. The texture of the stalk was fine, and in feeding there ‘was no more waste than with hay. It was fed during the winter, be- ginning October 1st. lts feed- ing value is equal to that of " |timothy hay in that form three to four times as much can be 'produced per acre. The past year, 1905, the yield of the fodder-corn crop was greatly lessened by excessive water in th~ soil and the cold | season. Parts of the field were drowned entirely, so that an ac- curate estimate of the yield could not be made. Iastead of curing the crop in the field, as formerly, it was put in a silo, which was built last summer for this purpose. This has the advantage of keeping the feed in its succulent form, can be stored away in a smaller space and is always handy for: feeding. Thesilo is twenty-four | feet high, seventeen feet in di- ameter and has a capacity of one; hundred tons. Filled with this green fodder-corn it will feed twenty-five cows from the first, of October till the first of May. | in connection with a small amount of hay, which is well to feed with it to get the oest results.

The Liberty Belles appeared at the City Opera house last night and proved a disappoint- ment to an audience of at least 500 people who ‘‘anted’ up $1 each to see the show. The sing- ing of some of the members of the company was good and a few jokes new to this.section of the country were sprung, but it seemed that the principal object of the-performers was te intro- duce something ‘‘smatty.” One of the most disgusting features of the show was the seleetion of |, GREATER THAN LAST YEAR Bemidji Bible Conference for Next July Promises Great Things. The Bible Conference held in this city last year was one long to be remembered. Its influence has been felt much farther than was expected. This infiuence has been most beneficial for Be- midji. By that Conference our city received some of the most wholesome and beneficial adver- tising that it has ever had since its founding. This fact is at- tested by the numerous letters of inquiry relative to the city, climate, lake, pines, cottages, lots, etc., written by those who desire a place to spend the sum- mer in rest and recreation. This is what we wish, people to know of the merits of Bemidji and cli- mate, and to be assured that one’s life is sate. Nothing will go so far to advertise Bemidji in this way as a successful Bible Conference, and this of itself will bring a large number of the most desirable class of summer visitors to our city, and return- ing will publish the advantages of Bemidji, as a summer resort,. The Conference this year promises to be even better than that of last year. Already many men have been secured, who had others are exgpected, with whom the committee are negotiating. Literature descriptive of the lake, city, etc., is already cireu- lated. Letevery citizen mark in his calendar the date, July 22.29 and work to give those who come the best possible impression of our city. I COMMUNiICATIONS. I What’s the Matter With the Man- I agement?

The complaint upon which the warrant was issued was sworn toby J. W. Speelman and al- leges that a harness belonging to the complainant was stolen last summer by them and sunk in Lake Julia. The three men were brought to Bemidji last night and were arraigned this morning before Judge Pendergast, who set the date for their prelimin- ary examination for Feb. 21. Their bonds were fixed at $300, which they were unable to fur- nish, and the men will be held at the county jail to await the pre- liminary examination. Draymen Must Obey Rules.
