There is but one stone there that I saw, and that covers the entire township.” No Ball Game Yesterday. There was no baseball game here yesterday, owing to the steady downpour of rain that soaked the ball grounds and everything else that was exposed to the elements, . It had been arranged to have the Mclntosh team here, but someone pulled the plug in the celestial water tank and a disastrous overflow resulted. However, it is more than likely that the game will be played next Sunday when a good contest may be looked for. ting Cards.

A ARMSTRONG WILL RUN HOTEL AND GAFE / Will Remodel cpnnllenge Hotel and Run It, as Well as His Arm- strong Cafe J. A. Armstrong, proprietor of Armstrong’s Cafe, has decided that he will cantinue to operate his cafe, as well as the Challenge hotel, which he recently leased. Mr. Armstrong announced a few days ago that he intended to close the cafe and operate the Challenge, only, but he has since changed his mind, and will operate both places. It is Mr. Armstrong’s intention to repair and renovate the interior of the Challenge hotel and conduct it as a first-class hostelry. This work will be done just as rapidly as car- penters and painters can perform | boy. the labor. When this is done, the hotel will be in first-class condition to handle trade. Mr. Armstrong will continue to run the cafe along the same excellent lines that he did heretofore. Duncalf a Successful Farmer. J. P. Duncalf is one of the “city chaps” who is making a success of farming. “Billie” owns a fine farm south of Bemidji, near Marquette lake, where he has been giving practical demon- strations of farming on an up-to-date plan. He has several meney-winning -|cows from which he gets a. large amount of the finest milk and is able ‘to make elegant butter—the kind that puts in the shade the machine- made butter commonly used here. He is also raising some végetables that will make some of the other farmers “go some,” at the county fair. Saturday he brought in a bushel of fine new potatoes which he dis- played to a number of his friends, and which said friends immediately appropriated unto themselves. They were very fine specimens of a large crop of the best tubers we have seen. Mr. Duncalf is open to congratu- lations on his success as an agri- culturist. Notice to Contractors. Sealed bids will be received until 8 o’clock p. m., August 12th, 1907, by the city clerk of the City of Be- midji for the lowering of the engine room floor in the city hall to street grade and placing new foundation under same, also for the construction of a basement 20x38 ft. under por- tion of said building. A certified check on a Bemidji bank of 10 per cent of the amount of the bid must accompany each bid as a guarantee of good faith of the bidder. Plans and specifications may be seen at the city engineer’s office. The council reserves the right to reject any or all bids. M. D. Stoner, Thomas Maloy, City Engineer. City Clerk Rain Interfered With Excursion. Owing to the copious and generous down fall of aqua pura which worked steadily all day yesterday, the excur- sion to Redby given by the M., R.L. & M. railway was not well patron- ized. It had been the intention of Manager Marson to have a game of ball at Redby between the Bemidji “scrubs” and the Red Lake Indians, but this was abandoned, although the team wenton the train to Redby! But few excursionists went to Redby and the trip was not a pleasant one, owing wholly to the weather,although those who did go had a good time at the terminus town.

Rt e e L R R A Financial Embarrassment. A lady who had a kindly remem- brance for all her domestic servants met an erstwhile washerwoman and stopped to ask her how she fared, “Oh, mem, it's turrible finanshul dis- thress me an the childer’s in!” “Why, what s 1t? Are yon out: of employment 2" “No, mem. Work's in a fair state o’ stiddiness and not a clat do I owe, but it's lashing o' trouble I've got!” “Are you not paid promptly?” “As promptly as the day cooms round.” “What 1s your financial distress, then ?" “Well, mem” (in a burst of horror), “what's killin’ me 1s, I earn $6 the week an’ pay $8 for me boord, an’' God only knows how I do it!"—Short Btorles, 80 Many? The§ went in to dinner together. He ‘was very bashful, and she tried In vain to draw him out. Finally she began to talk books, and he became responsive. “And Hugo,” she asked, “do you like his style?” “Oh, yes,” he replied, “I find him In- tensely interesting, I've read a num- ber of his books.” Then she asked, “Have you read ‘Ninety-Three? “No, I've—er—only “read three. didn’t know he had written so many.” —Lippincott's Magazine. - As Japaneso See It. It is said the Japanese think our grown women most alarmingly over- grown, very shocking in their costume and quite dreadful as regards thelr teeth and their feet—in a word, out- rageous. They consider the kimono preferable to western habiliments be- cause it so completely obliterates the lines of the figure. They teach girls to talk with their lips almost closed, con- cealing the teeth, and to walk with the feet parallel in tiny steps or even toe- ing in.—Kansas City Jourial. The Latest Hour. “What time is it, my lad?” asked a traveler of a small boy who was driv- ing a couple of cows home from the flelds.” “Almost 12 o'clock, sir,” replied the “I thought it was more.” “It’s never any more here,” returned the lad, in surprise. “It just begins at 1 again”—Lustige Blatter. And the Boy Was Right. “If one quart of berries cost 7% cents, how much would three quarts cost?’ asked a Brooklyn teacher in an oral test the other day. “They would cost you 22 cents,” promptly responded a little boy. “We have nothing less than 1 cent in our money, and the man would just make It 22 cents.”—New York Press. Yes, S8he Painted. Young Gotrox (admiring picture in parlor)—Does your sister paint, Mar- gle?

A young Scotchman went to a Lon- don school of music, where he learned to play the violoncello falrly well. O his return to his native village he gath- ered his friends together to hear his new instrument. When he had played one or two tunes, he looked up expec- tantly.
