Launches and are available in plenty. Yesterday I crossed the lake and had a real picnic lunch on the Mississippi river, which is only a small stream where it drops out from Bemidji lake. It is very beauti- ful in there. The river is shallow, with a rocky bed (just like at the farm house I went to!) and the cur- rent is very swift. The banks are densely wooded. I am told that the trip down the river to Cass Lake is most delightful. A party of friends went down two weeks ago in three small launches. The rapids are very numerous and getting through them is quite exciting, but not dangerous, as the water is so shallow all the way. * ok x rowboats I am in love with this spot, and hope to come here again next sum- mer and stay longer. The town itself is remarkable, It is only a decade old, but can boast every modern convenience. The houses are pretty and indicate pros- perity on the part of the owners. The court house is exceptionally handsome and most beautifully located in a great square which is kept carpeted with soft green clover. I am told that there are forty-two liquor saloons in the city. Certain it is they flourish here where there other strenuous laborers working or coming in all the time. I counted seven saloons on one block—and was reminded by this of of a prohibition town I visited in Maine some years ago. There I counted fourteen drug stores in two blocks! And only one of them I was told, was a bona fide drug store. A young man visiting some rela- tions in that same prohibition town upon retiring the first night was called into his host’s den and asked if he would have a drop of whiskey— “but don’t say anything about it to my wife or son, because they don’t know I have it in the house!” Upon reaching the next floor, the wife called to him—"Hist! hist! Wouldn’t you like a ‘night-cap’ before retiring—but for goodness sake don’t mention it to my husband or son, you see they don’t know 1 have it in the house!” At the third floor he was greeted by the son, who invited him to “have a nip before going to roost! But don’t breathe it to mother or father, who don’t know I have any in the house.” The wide-open policy of Bemidji although not commendable, is cer- tainly preferable to the Maine policy, which turned a family into hypo- crites, Doings at Cass Lake.

Decker, On Hay Fever Several people who were sufferers of hay fever have been cured of the malady by coming to Bemidji, which leads C. L. Decker to soliloquize thusly as to what constitutes hay fever: “Hay fever is one of the many other things that happen in summer to make us enjoy the winter, “Hay fever is kind of cold in the head, morning-after, indigestion, headache, stiff neck, neuralgia and many other things to numerous to mention, “Itis said to be caused by the drifting pollen from the golden-rod. This is why in the room of a hay feverite you may see a little wall card bearing some one’s beautiful verses about the golden-rod. The surface of the card is covered with dents, indicating where the patient has hurled his shoe at the sublime thougths of the poet. “Hay fever is indicated by a red nose, red eyes and a general red- headedness of .the temper, with a disinclination to smile and a con- tinuing desire to swat some one. “Any doctor can cure hay fever until he gets it himself. “The best thing to do for hay fever is to go away from home; otherwise the family and friends suffer to much.” Can Meet Catalogue Houses.

This was done,and the deal was mutually profitable. The local store made more than ordinary pro- fits on some items,such as bacon,but lost on a few items of canned goods because they don’t handle such poor grades as the mail order houses brag about, and the settler saved paying freight and his patience as he did not need to wait a month for the goods. Moral: When'you make up an order to Chicago, show it to your local dealer and see if it will pay to trade away from home.—Big Falls Compass. It might not be a bad plan for those parties living in this vicinity to try the local merchants on cata- logue house prices. Two to one, quality considered,the purchaser will get better bargains at home. Editor Dare in the City. F. A. Dare, the owner of the Walker Pilot, came up from Walker last evening and remained in the city today. Mr. Dare was so well pleased with the progressive air of Bemidji that be determined to remain here over Sunday and telephoned his wife ‘to join him here this evening. Since Mr. Dare took hold of the Walker Pilot, two years ago, he has placed that paper among the lead- journals of the northwest, and the paper is a paying investment, also. WADENA IS TO BE MADE A DISTRIBUTING POINT Existing Railroad Rates Will Be Cut--- Bemidji Should Follow Example of Wadena. St. Paul, Minn., Aug. 23.—Busi- ness men of Wadena will rejoice over an order about to be issued by the state railroad and warehouse com- mission, making Wadena a point where distributing rates shall apply. Some time ago Wadena made application to be made a distribut- ing point. - The railroad commission had a hearing at Wadena on the subject, and has had the matter under consideration until today. The new order of things will go into effect Oct. 1. It will mean a cut of about 5 per cent on the existing rates in and out of Wadena, and permit of building up of the jobbing interests of Wadena by placing them on an equal basis with other large cities that already enjoy special rate facilties. The members of the commercial club and all residents of Bemidji should “get busy” and make an effort to have this city designated as a distributing point. From a casual glance at the sitnation, it would ap- pear that Bemidji could put forth strong claims as a - distributing point. “‘Hooligan in New York.” The leading female role in “Hooli- gan in New York” is a blind girl who earns a living selling flowers in the streets of the great city. A supposed friend of her father’s has possession of property that rightfully belongs to her, and fearing that she may eventually secure it he plots to murder her and thus make himself secure. - She is rescued by Hooligan and the villian is finely brought to justice. The character is a sym- pathic one, and Miss Nellie LaFleur who will be seen in it at the City Opera house next Monday evening, is said to be the ideal. It is a peculiar fact that during the six years Miss LaFleur has been in the theatrical profession she has played no less than six blind girl parts, in “The Two Orphans,” “Brother for Brother,” “Under the City Lamps,” “The Minister’s Daughters,” “Young Mrs. Winthrop,” and “Hooligan in New York.” She regards her present role as the best of them all and refused a similar part in a new ' pro- the entire season on Broadway, to continue with “Hooligan in New York.” Selected Fall Line of Millinery. Mrs. J. J. Conger who has been away for the past six weeks has returned home and her fall line of millinery goods are now arriving, Mrs.Conger has this year selected a larger stock than ever and the line their selecting will be the choicest ever shown in Bemidji.

COURT IMPOSES FINE Omaha Railroad Assessed $20,000 for Granting Rebates, MAXIMUM ON ONE COUNT Judge Morris Holds That Each Car- load Shipped Could Not Be Consid- ered a Separate Offense and Rem- dered Judgment Accordingly. Minneapolls, Aug. 24—A fine of 920,000 was imposed on the Chicago, 8t. Paul, Minneapolis and Omaha Rall- ‘way company and its former general freight agent and present freight traf- flc manager, Hiram M. Pearce, was ordered to pay a $2,000 fine by Judge Page Morris in the United States dis- triet court in this city. The Omaha road, conjointly with its former general freight agent, was con- victed in the same court April 11 of granting rebates to the Spencer Grain company of Minneapolis on an indict- ment containing fifty ‘counts. In imposing sentence Judge Morris explained that while it was clear to him that he would be within his right to impose a separate fine for each offense provem, he could not bring himself to belleve that each carload of grain on which a rebate was al- lowed constituted & separate offense. Each shipment, the court reasoned, whether made up of one or many car- loads, with the subsequent payment of the rebate, could be treated as a sep- arate offense. It was true, the court continued, the shipping tariffs referred to carload shipments and rebates were made on @ carload basis, but shipping charges and rebates were pald on the number of bushels handled and it would be unjust to assume there were as many offenses as bushels. SOVEREIGN STATES EQUAL Brazil. Objects- to - Classification by Hague Convention. 3 Rio de Janeiro, Aug. 24.—The fol- lowing official recital of the position of Brazll in the matter of the organiza- tion of a permanent court of arbitra- tion at The Hague has been made public: “Brazil does not Insist, at The Hague ‘peace conference, upon a su- perior position in the Anglo-German- American project for the organization of a ney and permanent court of ar. bitration. - She pronounced herselt as against the creation of such a court as an utterly useless step, inasmuch as there exists already at The Hague & permanent court of arbitration, cre- ated by the convention of 1899. Brazil also puts herself on record as against the classification of the sovereign states represented in the conference into states of first, second, third, fourth and fifth classes. Independent end civilized natlons, it 1s declared, should not be invited to a conference in order that they sign conventions in which they are classed and clas- sity themaelves ag powers of the third and even of the fifth order. The de- mand made by the Brazillan delega- tion to the conference is that the prin- ciple of the equality of . soverelgn states In their international relations, accepted by the convention of 1859, continue to be recognized.” Press Hostile to Amerlca, Rio de Janeiro, Aug. 24.—A remark. able change in the attitude of the press towards the United States 1s noticeable since the rating of Brazil in the permanent court proposition at The Hague became known.
