Itasca county, our next door neighbor to the east, has voted to divide, and Norman county, a near neighbor on the west, has also decided to separate into two counties. .

Grand Rapids was supposed to be favorable to the division, as it would forestallany county seat fight for some years to come,. It will be remembered that soon after the petition for a vote on Koochiching county had been filed with the secretary of state, another petition was filed to name the new county Forest county and make Big Falls the county seat. Then a third petition was filed making three new counties. Question was raised as to which proposition should be submitted first, if they were to be submitted according to the provisions of the new code, or whether the old laws should govern and all the petitions which were correct in form be submitted at one time. It was determined by the governor and the attorney genmeral that Rev. and Mrs, Peartand School Teac:- ers Are Guests at Pleasant Reception. ' The reception tendered Rev. Peart and wife and the teachers of the Bemidji public schools who affiliate with the local M. E. church last evening at the cburch was one of those happy affairs that are thoroughly enjoyed by all the participants. | The reception was given under the auspices of the Ladies’ Aid society of the church, which de- sired to express the sentiments of the membhers of the congrega- tion in appreciation of the serv- ices rendered by Rev. and Mrs. Peart and the teachers. Dr, Smith gaveashortaddress of welcome and most heartily thanked the guests of the even- ing on behalf of the church, and also gave an outline of the condi- tion of the church. Responses were made by Rev. Mr. Peart, Mrs, J. P. Ritchie, and Misses Donaldson, Harding, Miller, Gra- ling and Taylor. A violin solo by George Moyer and a vocal solo by Mrs. Maud Smythe contributed to the en- joyment of the evening, and E. L. Naylor furnished several fine selections with his phonograph. Some games were played,and the ladies served very appetizing re- freshments. Farewell Performance Tonight. Beach & Bowers big stock company last night repeatsd by request, ““The Altar of Sacrifice.” This was their openiug bill and people who failed to see it; missed a good thing. Tonigh: the farewell performance will be “The Convict’s Wife,” a bill that has never been seen in Bemidji, as it was produced for its first time in St. Louis last season, and George Henderson, with this company, who was one of the authors, has the exclusive rights for the bill. The company has been received with flattering business during its stay. It was billed only for three nights, but the management of the house the petition for three new counties were not in proper form and this was rejected entirely. Then it was decided that the new code governed and accordingly the governor gave notice that the first petition should be voted on at the general election, In Norman county the dividing line runs north and south very nearly in the middle of the county. By the verdict of the voters, the White Earth Indian reservation “is set off as a separate county to be named Mahnomen. side. Chicago kicks off. Schukneit She fails to gain in two downs.

After an ex- change of kicks the ball rests on the Minnesota 85-yard line.

QUESTION, ‘‘WHAT CAN BE DONE,” HAS BEEN FREQUENTLY RAISED | Law Is a Recent One, Being Enacted at the Last Session of the Legislature. There has been considerable comment of late as to whether any proceeding at law could be taken for the prosccution of the individual who, in his haste to discharge firearms, kills a fellow being while mistaking him for a deer or other animal. This com- ment was considerably aggravat- €d by the recent unfortunate oc- currence near Blackduck, where- by Simon Paullis was mistaken for a deer and ruthlessly slain. Many have belieyed that there is no law for these kind of cases. The big game hunting season is on and the north woods of Bel- trami and Itasca counties will be filled with hunters from every part of the state and also outside states. A large majority of these men are exceedingly careless with the long-range rifles they are in the habit of carrying and someone is very liable to be killed throvgh mistake. For such carelessness, the following law was passed by tlie last legis- lature, whereby it is made man- slaughter in the first degree: SECTION 1... That § 6445 of the General Statutes of 1894, being § 160 of the penal code of this state, be and the same is hereby amended so as to read as follows: “Section 6445. Same—In the first degree. 2 Such homicide 1s manslaughter in the first degree when com- mitted without a design to effect death, either 1. By a person engaged in committing or attempting to com- m1t a misdemeanor, affecting the person or property, either of the person killed, or of another; or 2. In the heat of passion, but in a cruel and unusual manner, or by means of a dangerous weapon; 3. By shooting another witha gun, or other firearm, when re- svlting from carelessness in mis- taking the person shot fora deer or other animal.” The Era of the Young. The present is ecertainly the “Era of the Young.” The world has seen the ‘‘stone age,” the dark age,” ‘“the age of iron,” and now comes the ‘“Age of Youth.” On all sides we see the comparatively young forging to the front, and forcing themselves into places where a few years ago it was thought could alone be filled by their elders; in fact, it is an open question whether a young man is not ‘“of age” at 18 He is as able to cope with the world at that age as his grand- father was at 21. The stage may be taken in point. Recently one of New York’s principal theatres was occupied by a play in which the leading rvle was played by a child, Little Hazel Shannon. The press and the public were loud in praise of her wonderful abihty. This clever little girl will be seen in Harry Shannon’s powerful scenic com- | edy, “The Banker’s Child,"’ sur- rounded by a strong company of pleyers. Special scenery is used to properly mount the play, and adds to the beauty of the sur- roundings. At Opera House one night only, November 18. Will Cut Two Million Feet.
