FORTY CENTS PER MONTH COUNCIL HELD A RED-HOT MEETING Refused Liquor License to A. P. Lysacker.---Water and Light Committee Will With Citizens Last night’s meeting of the city council was attended by a large number of citizens, who filled the council rooms to ‘“‘standing room only,” as it was known that several interesting matters would be dis- cussed by the “city dads.” Among other matters taken up by the council was the consideration of two applications for liquor licenses and also the question of revoking the liquor license now held by Clavin & Tanner, who con- duct a saloon in this city. The application was filled with the council protesting against the allow- ing of application for liquor license made by A. P. Lysacker, and Mr. Lysacker’s application was refused. At the request of Mayor Pogue a communication was read wherein A. Clavin and G. Tanner were re- quested to shew cause why the liquor license held by them should not be revoked. The con- sideration of the revocation brought out considerable discussion,both pro and con, which was participated in by Mayor Pogue, Mr. Clavin, Mr. Tanner, Chief of Police Knox and several members of the council. The matter was finally laid on the table and the license was not re- voked. The council committee on water and light, which was recently in- structed to recommend ways and means whereby better water service could be secured, reported that they would suggest that a mass meet- LAST EVENING Call Meeting to Confer on New Flant. ing of the citizens be called for the purpose of discussing the sub- ject and make provision for pro- viding better service. The report was accepted and the committee continued until the next meeting of the council, in order that the com- mittee might set a date at which time the city hall can be obtained for the meeting. ! The surety bond of M. D. Stoner, | as city engineer, in the sum of 2,000, | was accepted and ordered filed. ‘The sinking fund committee, con- sisting of Mayor Pogue, City Attorney Gibbons and Treasurer Geil, submitted a report and- the council authorized the committee to have the city treasurer take up all outside warrants which have been issued against the permanent im- provement fund. City Attorney Gibbons requested that the council authorize him to secure legal assistance in defending the case of Otto Dandell vs. the City of Bemidji, in which Mr. Dandell has entered suit against the city in the sum of $2,000, for per- sustained through a fall on a side- walk in the city. Mr. Gibson was authorized to secure assistance, to be paid not more than $50. The contract and bond of the Bemidji Pioneer Publishing Co. for publishing all official matters of the city in its weekly edition ot “The Bemidji Pioneer” was filed, approved and accepted by the council. SCHOOL ENTERTAINMENT PRONOUNGED VERY 600D A Large Crowd Attended the Perform- ance.---All Who Participated Did Very Well. “Florinda,” the operetta in one act, which was given by the Be- midji public schools last night, was a charming success, and was at- tended by an immense crowd, every seat downstairs and in the gallery was taken, while over fifty people were compelled to stand in the aisles. The entertainment was carried on excellently under the able direction of Miss Eugenia Oliver and Miss Dora Hanson. The music was ex- ceptionally fine, while the young- sters acted out the dramatic features in a way that would have done credit to many an older person. The fairies and the witches were dressed in becoming costumes, and the human caterpiller in the caterpiller song, looked their part, every inch. The operetta was a splendid suc- cess financially, as well as being an excellent entertainment. Over $100 was cleared. This money will be used for the purpose of purchasing frames for the fine collection of pic- tures now in possession of the city schools. The program was as follows: PROGRAM 1 Bridal Chorus. .

This(Tuesday)evening theBemidji Fire Department will give a “St. Patrick’s Ball,” and the fire laddies are figuring on making this closing dance of the season the very best of all their efforts in this line. Prof. Thomas Symington’s or- chestra has been engaged to furnish the music, which insures the very best that that can be had for on such an occasion. The grand march will be called at 9 sharp, and the management assures all that they can “dance all night till near day- light and go home with the girls in the morning.” As this dance is given by one of the most worthy of local institutions (the volunteer fire department) there should be a good attendance, | and there undoubtedly will be. Purchased Desirable Property. A deal was closed last evening whereby County Attorney Henry Funkley becomes the owner of the Henderson property, at the north end of the city park. Mr. Funkley has been negotiating for the ownership of this very de- sirable real estate for some time past, and negotiations were not terminated until last evening when Dr. Hender- son agreed to part with his property, the consideration being a heavy one. Mr. Funkley states that he in- tends to at once remove the the old buildings now on the property and will erect a commodious, modern residence for his home. Mr. Funkley is to be congratulated on securing such a desirable home.
