Through some fortunate incident the doctor stopped at the place and entered the cabin where in lived the homesteader, his wife and thirteen children. Upon en- tering a horrible sight met his gaze. The entire family were confined to their beds and hardly able to move. The father told a pitiful story. He said that for six days the whole family had not had a bite to eat. Times had grown very dull and the few pennies he had were spent on the family for food. When his money was all gone his nearest neighbors, who lived sev- eral miles away, gave what they could afford. But, they too, were Very poor. The homesteader’s family gradually began to weaken until they were in an almost help- less condition. He faced it as long as possible but his constitu- tion finally gave out also. The doctor hurriedly grabbed his team and returned to Cass Lake, which is about twenty-five miles from the homestead. A large amount of provisions have been gathered together and are being hurriedly taken to the destitute family. Woodmen, Take Notice. Members of Bemidji Lodge of M. W.

Cleary of Brainerd, vice presidentqf the Northern Grocery Co., (Bemidji’s greatest wholesale enter- prise,) and president of the Brain- erd Grocery company, was a visitor in the city yesterday and last even- ing, consulting with T.J. Burke, president of the Northern company. Mr. Cleary is recognized, every- where throughout the state, as one of the very best grocery men in the northwest, and his investment in Be- midji was only made after a careful inspection of the various towns throughout northern Minnesota, which convinced him that Bemidji is indeed the “hub city of northern Minnesota, and logically the very best point for a wholesale grocery house. Mr. Cleary stated that he was greatly pleased with the business which the Northern Grocery com- pany is receiving, which only went to show that his judgment of this city was nota “snap” affair. The Brainerd man intimated that there was avery good prospect of Bemidji getting.a cracker factory, and in case that enterprise was established here, a box factory was a certainty, but was exceedingly reticent when asked for particulars. “‘Monte Cristo.” Dumas’ “Monte Cristo,” the play that will be seen at the city opera house on Friday, May 7, has always contained all the fascinating interest which surrounds human misery, love and herioc qualities of men and . women since- the great novelist conceived this story of Napoleonic days. Frederic Clarke and Company are putting on the drama with a strong cast. The company is well equipped with special scenic effects and in addition to all that is best in stage craft a personnel that is seldom found. Mr. Clarke is a finished actor of much experience and accurately portrays the unfortun- ate young lover who has condemned tolive the balance of his life in an underground cell for state reasons in France. A thread of love strongly developed runs through the story and trilling interest is readily pre- served. —_— Samaritan Meeting.
