The Ada team has formed the determlnation to put forth every effort to win tonight’s game and have telegraphed thelr coach to be on hand. He isa fine player, and the visitors hope to wipe out the remembrance of last evemngs defeat by a decisive victory this evening. With one of the regular,guards absent from the line up on accqun* of illness, and two players handi- capped by minor injuries, the “Big Bemidg” basketball team added another victory to its claim for the basketball championship of northern Minnesota, Friday night, when the locals defeated the fast Ada team, by a score of 40 to 20. The game was one of the fastest and most stubborn contests ever pulled off on the Bemidji floor, but the their work, in the middle of the first half, and overcame the lead of the visitors, passing them and easily winning the game, although the visiting players showed splendid team work and were dangerous all the time. Biddinger (guard) was absent from the line-up, and the game | started with Brown also out of it, | and a substitute (Gill) playing at guard. Ada started very fast and scored a basket in one minute of play. Another followed, with Bemidiji get- ting a field basket, immediately after- wards. At the end of five minutes of play Brown took his accustomed place at center, and “Big Bemidg” took a big brace. The first half ended with the score 14 to 7, in favor of “Big Bemidg.” In the second half, the local play- “Big Bemidg” five warmed to! ers got going nicely and baskets | came rapidly, both Geil and Mark- ham doing their usual good work. The Bemidji players played better team work and rolled up 26 points in this half. The play was so fast in the second half that several fouls were called on Bemidji and the visitors secured 4 Their score for the last half was 13 points.

The locals were more sure in their basket-throwing, although both teams missed many tries for baskets. The game indicated plainly that the ““Big Bemidg” team has not yet gotten into form with their team work, and the boys are not playing as good a game as they did last year; although the absence ot Judge C. W. Stanton has received official notice from the state can- vassing board of the election of B. F. Wright by a majority of fifty- seven votes, as judge of the Fif- teenth Tudicial district. Replying to a direct question as to whether he would institute a con- test against his successful opponent, Judge Stanton stated that he will not contest against Mr. Wright, but who has bsen declared elected judge ‘of the Fifteenth Judicial district: “Hon. B. F. Wright, Park Rapids, Mion. Dear Mr., anht.—The report of your election to succeed myself as judge of this judicial district, has, I 'am informed, been duly confirmed by the state canvassing board, and I am therefore pleased to congratulate you upon your success. I believe that you:conducted your campaign fairly and honorably and I assure you that I will surrender the position to you with entire good feeling and with hearty wishes for your success. Trusting that I may soon have the pleasure of meeting you personally, I am, i Yours cordially, 1 C. W. Stanton.” Information comes from Park Rapids to .the effect that Judge- Biddinger at guard undoubtedly broke up many of the combination plays which have been used. Lack of concerted practice probably accounts for the deficiency in team work. Aitogether, “Big Bemidg” was lucky to win the contest last evening, although the score was somewhat one-sided. The teams lined up as follows: Ada— A. Mueller and E. son, forwards; H. Rclfe, center; S. Snyder and A. Remark, guards; W. Betcher, substitute. “Big Bemidg”’—Geil and Mark- ham, forwards; Heffron and Brown, center; Peterson, Heffron and Gill, guards. C. A. Warren of this city acted as | “sub” Their referee and W. B.

There were many splendid ' floral offerings, given by loving hands to be placed in the casket and in" terred with the body, indicative of the beautiful life of the deceased. Rev. S. E. P: White had charge of [ the funeral services and the arrange- 4| ments were in charge of R. S. Mur- B | phy, the funeral director. i Rev. White spoke on the text, Old Things Are Passed Away; Be- | hold All Things'Are New;” and his ¥ | words were comforting to those who # | had sustained a great loss. d| Several selections were rendered } | by a quartette composed of Mrs. C. J. Pryor, Miss Haldeman, Messrs. d| A. Rood and E. H. Jerrard. @| At the conclusion of the services, the cortege was formed and moved §|slowly to Greenwood, Bemidji’s “City of the Dead,” where the inter- }f | ment was made. A. P. Henrionnet was a long and patient sufferer from a complica- tion of diseases, and through it all ji | the nobleness of his splendid char-| § acter was very manifest. He was a most exemplary ‘husband, and a kind and loving father. Besides a devoted wife he leaves a | daughter and a'son. We can only remind these mourners that he is not dead—only asleep—resting after @ | a well spent life here; that he can- inot, and would not if he could, jl| return to us; we can, if we will, go to him.

This blurring is caused by the eye not being able to focus at the nor- mal reading distande, 14 inches. The vision at a greater distance is as clear as ever, and this fact leads many to believe that glasses are unnecessary; but this is just the time the first pair of glasses are needed. By having your eyes fitted with the proper glasses diseases, cataract, blindness may be prevénted. : Why do some school children with good sight require glasses? Mainly to rest the eye. Tlre eye does not obtain its growth until the child is about the age of 12. The growing eys is taxed beyond its strength; the proper glasses rest and preserve the eyes. s Drs.
