Sisters of St. Benedict Request that Donations Be Made During the Thanksgiving Season for the Benefit of Their Hospitals. St. Anthony’s Hospital, Bemidji. The Sisters of St. Benedict, who operate a number of hospitals throughout northern Minnnesota, including the St. Anthony’s hospi- tal in this city, have issued a circn- lar asking for donations to the hospitals for the Thanksgiving sea- san. As these hospitals are many . times called upon to care for cases in which there is absolutely no recompense and oftentimes a heavy outlay, a generous response should tollow the receipt of the circular, which is as follows: “IHANKSGIVING Dav.” *Dear Friend:—Thanksgiving Day being the “Donation Day” for our hospital, it gives an opportunity to our good friends to aid us in the CHURCHES OF THE CITY Hours of Worship and Subjects of Ser- mons to Be Delivered in the City Sunday.

The Burt Imson Dramatic com- pany will play at the City Opera house, every evening of next week, in a repertoire of spleneid plays of merit. The Hatton, N. D., Free Press says of the Imson company, which MISS IRENE ST. CLAIR, Leading Lady Burt Imson Company. played in the North Dakota recently: ““The Burt Imson Company which are playing in the Hatton Opera town House all this week have been re- ceiving quite a large attendence each night so far. The more seen | of them the better they are liked by the theatre going public. Tonight they will play East Lynn, a very hard and interesting dramma, and it is more than likely that they do jus- tice to the play. “Just before playing their engage- ment at Mayville this company had the misfortune of loosing two of their players, which crippled tlLem |badly while in this city, but now | they are strengthened up and are as | strong as ever. The company suc- ceed in giving a good entertainment land seems to aim to give what the | public wants most, and, therefore are deserving of a very liberal patronage.” Warrants Payable.

They are con- ducted to the best tables at restau- rants, they get the ¢orner seats in the theater and always seem to have enough money to get along without worrying. When a fat man enters a drawing room, doesn’t he always get the most comfortable chair? asks the writer. When his hat blows off on a windy day, doesn’t some one-always run after it for him? No one expects him to get up in a bus or a train to give his seat to a lady. He would block the gangway if he did. -Even his .wife doesn’t .expect him to stoop. to pick up things when she drops them. Everybody tells him the best MAY START A BANK AT . INTERNATIONAL FALLS A. P. White of This, City and Banker Cowan of Northome Take Option on Site. The International Falls Press says of the possibility of a bank being started at the “Falls” by A. P. White, president of the Lumber- mens National bank of Bemidji and E. J. Cowan, the Northome financier: *A. P. White, president of the Lumbermen’s National bank, of Bemidji, and F. J. Cowan, cashier of the First State Bank of Northome, are demonstrating their faith in the future of our town by seriously con- sidering the advisability of install- ing another banking institution in our town, 4 ““They have been considering the matter for some time, and while the Murphy and Mooney bank has somewhat thwarted their plans, they, however, have not become discouraged as they took a ten-day option yesterday on the corner lot next to Berg & Smith’s general store. The option price is $5,000 for twenty- five feet front and sixty feet deep. Their plan is to erect a two-story building thereon, the first story to be used for banking purposes. Truly we are entering into an era of pros- perity, the extent of which we are not all fully conscious. Sweet cream at Stewart's FOOTBALL TODAY.

Peking, Nov. 20.—An official of the foreign board of the government, in reply to a direct request, gave formal assurance that the new administra- tion would promote with vigor the re- forms inaugurated by the late em- peror, Kwang Hsu. A number of edicts with a political bearing have been promulgated since Nov. 15 and they all show that a progressive and modern government for the Chinese empire is intended. Several specific reforms already have been entalled for fulfillment under the regency of Prince Chun, DIPLOMATS WELL PLEASED New Chinese Rulers Handled Recent Crisis Admirably. Peking, Nov. 20.—Prince Ching, president of the board of foreign af- fairs, has forwarded' direct to Presi- dent Roosevelt a personal letter in the name of Pu Yi, the infant em- peror of China, setting forth the crisis through which the throne has passed during the last week. Similar letters have been sent to all the other pow- ers friendly to China. These com- munications make an appeal for sym- pathy for and understanding of the new rulers of China and emphasizes the efficiency with which the events of the past week have been con- ducted. Several of the foreign legations here have expressed thelr surprise and gratification at the manner in which the government is managing the situation. It had been expected, up to the present time, that the death of the dowagér empress would pre- cipitate trouble, but the way in which the néw government has assumed its responsibilities has created confi- dence among the diplomatists and many of the foreign' observers de- clare that China has done as well un- der these trying circumstances as could any other government confront- ed with similar difficulties. * The - ptovinces still are quiet' and the governmental- machine continues to work well. CONTEST WILL BE CONTINUED Germans Dissatisfied With Emperor’s Pledge. PRESS COMMENT HOSTILE Indications That the Fight Between the Crown and the People Has Only Begun and That It Will Be Carried on With a Good Deal of Bitterness. Von Buelow Hissed in Reichstag While Discussing Taxation. Berlin, Nov. 20.—Three days have passed since Emperor William made his statement to Chancellor von Bue- low regarding his observance in fu- ture of the constitutional requirements of the empire in the matter of inter- fering in the foreign relations of the state and the German people are even less satisfied with the imperial assur- ances than they were in the begin- ning. There is today throughout the country an almost universal tendency to doubt the sincerity of the em- peror’s promises. In fact, the people seem to be thoroughly dissatisfied with the imperial assurances as con- veyed by the Reichsanzeiger. The press does not.hesitate to intimate that the emperor will not fulfill his®| iraplied obligation to leave the con- duct of the nation’s affairs to the re- sponsible ministers and in some quar- ters his words are almost classified as untrue. The matter will not be allowed to rest by the reichstag, if the present indications are fulfilled, and there is reason to believe that the contest be- tween the crown and the people, judg- ing from the temper of the provincial rress, has only begun and that it will be carried on with a good deal of bitterness. Many of the parliamentary groups are holding private sessions to decide what course shall be adopted in con- nection with the imperial declaration. Chancellor von Buelow made a lengthy speech in the reichstag on the new measures to increase the im- perial revenues. The house was only half filled. The prince held that the existing unfriendly feeling toward Germany could be overcome and he said he thought a borrowing policy was unworthy German progress and industry. He spoke in praise of the British and French methods of finance, especially the sinking fund, and con- cloded, amid imingled cheers and hisses, with these words: “Germans desire quiet at home and abroad, but their fault is that, al- though able, they are unwilling to pay more taxes.” BAVARIANS NOT SATISFIED Future Alone Will Tell if Kaiger Can Keep His Promise. Munich, Nov. 20.—Public feeling here is not satisfied with the results of the interview between Chancellor von Buelow and Emperor William. This meeting is regarded as a partial failure because nothing clear and defi- nite has followed it. The chancellor may be convinced, it is argued here, that the emperor will be careful in the future, but the public men of Bavaria and the Bavarian press are awaliting the months to come in order to see for themselves to what extent the imperial practice will be changed. The Bayerischer Kurier expresses the hope that the bundesrath will oppose strongly the personal policy in for- elgn affairs and the Munich Zeitung says the audience was disappointing. The Neuste Nachrichten says: “We can only hope that the imperfal prom- ises will be kept. An urgent obliga- tion rests upon the reichstag.” OWNERS OUT A BIG SUM Alaska Miner Tells of Organized Gang of Gold Thieves. Seattle, Wash,, Nov. 20.—R. R. Reed, formerly employed by R. T. Barnett, owner of the Dome Creek mine near Fairbanks, Alaska, arrest- ed last month on a charge of stealing gold from his employer, has confessed his guilt and implicated other labor- ers in the stealing from mine owners. In his confession Reed said: “I gathered the gold and sand in handfulls out of the riffles, hid it in my handkerchief, or gloves, or boots, carried it home and washed it out. My cleanings were from 50 cents to $400 a day and the day I brought home the $400 nugget it scared my wife it was so large. Altogether I must have cleaned up $1,800 worth of stolen gold. I have spent it all ex- cept the $800 you dug up in my front pard. What I have taken from Bar- pett’s mine is not a drop in the bucket compared with the stealings that have been going on in the Tanana district ell summer and are even going on now. I know one man who has $30,- 000 worth of stolen gold salted down. There are six “planters” working in Barnett’s Dome Creek mine this very minute. There is a regularly organ- Ized bunch of mine laborers in Alaska who haye shaken dcwn the mine own- ers As<a very tidy sum.” Held Criminally Responsible. New Haven, Conn., Nov. 20.—Sam- uel E. Campbell, an automobile dealer, was held criminally responsible for the death of Rev. Dr. G. Brinley Mor- gan, who was struck and killed last Saturday _afternoon by Campbell’s machine, by Coroner Mix. Campbell is held to have driven his machine at a speed which was “reckless and grossly careless.” _— Venezuela Closes Port.
