TELEPHONE GOMPANY WILL INSTALL NEW SYSTEM Representative of Company Met With Council Last Evening.—Emma Thorson Sues for $1,000. That Bemidji will soon have a first-class telephone service was assured the citizens and city council at a meeting held yesterday after- noon at which M. L. Lane of St. Paul, assistant general manager of the Northwestern Telephone Ex- change, and Frank Bracelin of Crookston, dlstrict manager, met a number of the councilmen together with the citizens of Bemidji and discussed the telephone situation, the gentlemen assuring Bemidji better service. This was also brought up at the regular council meeting, held last evening, by Mr. Bracelin, Mr. Brace- lin being authorized to inform the council that full matelic service will be installed as soon as the material can be shipped from Minneapolis to this city. The system is to be rebuilt in a good substantial manner, suitable to growing towns, the size of Bemidji. Mr. Bracelin stated that the town had fully outgrown the old system. He also stated that the company intended to complele this work in a very short time. City Clerk Maloy read to the council the complaint of Emma Thorson, who brings suit against the City of Bemidji claiming $1,000 damages for injuries sus- tained from a fall on a defective sidewalk, the particular walk referred to being the old walk formerly in front of the skating rink. City Attorney John Gibbons was instructed to report to the council progress made in all suits in which the city is interested. D. C. Smyth was ordered to com- plete the cement walks at the corner of Seventh street and Minnesota avenue. In case he fails to do so the street commissioner is author- ized to have said work done. Sexton Merryman was present to answer to the charge why he should not be removed from office. The . matter was discussed and a hearing will be had next Monday evening. The request of the residents of Mill Park for cement walks was referred to the committee on streets and sidewalks. The city engineer was ordered to have all openings in sidewalks closed and parties wanting outside cellar ways in the future will be requested to build them along side of their buildings. The street commissioner was authorized to fill the street and bring some to grade in the rear of the skating rink. Judges of the election for the special bond election Augugt 11, 1908, were then named, as follows: First ward—polling place, Mid- way Grocery, judges of election— /Third ward—polling place, Pogue’s warehouse, judges of election—]. P. Omich, P. M. Dicaire and C. Moose- baugh. Fourth ward—polling place, C. S. Dailey’s employment office, judges of election—C. D. Whittle, F. Mahan and C. S. Dailey. Most Worthy Performers. The three DeLoys, without a doubt the most talented troupe of vaudevillists to visit our city, are filling an engagement at the Brink- man this week. Their work is above criticism and the soul-in- spiring songs by Myrtle hold the audience spell-bound, her voice being such a pure, sweet and facinating contralto. Eddie and Tollo, comic songsters and dancers, are the best ever and W. F. Richardson of the Winnebago Nursery Company says: “They are the best I've saw out- side of an Orpheum circuit and every one isan artist of ability.” Their sketch, “Snorky,” is very laughable and the part of the loco- motive played by Eddie creates loud applause. Adventists Hold Meetings. A series of Bible lectures on Bible topics and present day issues will be given at the tents opposite the vostoffice, by E. M. Chapman and A. V. Olson, evangelists. Subject for this evening, “Wonders of the Twentieth Century,” and its mean- ing. INJUNGTION SERVED ON CITY OFFIGIALS SATURDAY Restraining Them from Purchasing Supplies for Municipal Court.— Hearing July 20. Justice of the Peace M. G. Slocum, through his attorneys, A. A. Andrews and F. A. Jackson, has caused to be served upon Mayor J. P. Pogue and City Clerk Thomas Maloy an them and any of the city officers or employes from entering into any contract to purchase supplies for the the city of Bemidji; and also issuing any war- injunction restraining municipal court of rants for salary for any of the officers of said municipal court. The complaint alleges that the court is not legally established on account of not securing the signa- ture of Mayor Pogue: and that the act of the city council in ordering or directing the city clerk to purchase supplies for said municipal court is illegal and void for the reasos that no municipal court has been properly organized without said signature. The order was issued by court com- missioner M., A. Clark and is return- able before Judge C, W. Stanton at chambers in the city of Bemidji on Monday, July 20, at 10 o’clock, at which time the court will decide the point at issue—the legality of the W. T. Mageau, Clyde Johnson and A. P. Riddell.

Both are en- dowed with French vivacity and grace, and they fence with an ease and daring that is wonderfully at- tractive from the spectators’ point of view.”—Minneapolis Tribune. A large multitude of people paid homage to the very superior talent displayed by the De Arville sisters in'their unique act at the Bijou Theater last night. That they are scidom cqualled and never surpassed goes without saying. Their mono- logue, though spiced throughout with brlliant and sparkling wit, is clean, chaste and moral and of a highly edifying and classical nature. Their act of French fencing is particularized by being the only act 'DE ARVILLE GIRLS MAKE HIT AT BLJOU Hundreds of Enthusiastic Spectators Are Sounding the Praises of the Performances Given by Them at the Bijou.—Another Performance Tonight. of the kind on the American stage today; and in this higly civilized land where dueling is strictly pro- hibited by strict mandates, a stunt of this kind is very interesting, and especially so when the participants are two beautiful graceful ladies whose wonderful daring and skill brought down the house with thund- ers of applause.
