Crookston, Minn., Dec. 11.— The mystery of the disappear- ance of Roy Kelly is deeper at the present time than when it was first learned that he ‘was missing. Although the entire Pinkerton force in Milwaukee have been searching for him, not a trace of his whereabouts has been discovered, and it now The Farmers’ [nstitute held in Bemidji today was fairly well attended, and those who did find their way to the opera house were amply repaid for their time and trouble.

At a meeting of the village board this week, the statement of the light plant was presented and speedily acted upon, with the result that after Dec. 10, no light can be had after 12 o’clock each night. The patrons have had all night service up till the The recorder’s statement shows that the maintenance of the plant has been an expense to the village ever since it was installed, and it is hoped that by shutting out all the night service that expenses will be cut down materially. The action of the council will be likely to cause a remonstrance from the saloons, which kcep all night open house, and from the hotels as well. It has been as serted that if the sentiment be- comes too strong, the plant will be shut down entirely.
