There’s as much difference in lumber as there is in shoes or clothes, and you don't buy those with your eyes shut, do you? As lumber is supposed to last a long time, quality should be the first consideration in buying. Your money talks here, of course, but what you get for your money, talks more yet, Our rule of quality first—then price—satisfaction always—doesn’t leave any chance of blindfold lumber buying at this yard.

Wtk AKOTA A modern school, 9 teachers, 600 pupils, 400 positions filled last year, BEMIDJI BREWERY ADDS A FINE BOTTLING PLANT Under Management Fred Eberlein, Brewery Has Fine Bottled Beer On Market. The City of Bemidji now has a beer-bottling plant, which has been added to local. business enterprises by the Bemidji Brewing company— and the bottling plant is one of the neatest and most thoroughly up-to- date of any similar institation in the entire northwest. The plant is located in the large, up and takes out ail refuse and dirt in bottles and also washes the outside of the bottles. The bottles are then placed on the “washer,” which is supplied with brushes, which permit water to flow through the hairs of the brush. This method absolutely takes every particle of dirt or refuse from the bottles, both inside and out. They are afterward placed on an automatic rinser, which makes the process of cleansing more complete. The bottles are then placed on a “filler” and filled with Bemidji Brewing company’s unexcelled “Pilsner Style,” beer afterwards being placed on the “corker” and corked. From the “corker” the bottles are placed in the pasteurizing machine. This is filled with water and is sup- FRED EBERLEIN, General Manager Bemidji Brewing Co. commodious building which adjoins the Bemidji Brewing company’s brewing plant on the south, and the plant is bottling a brand of beer which is rapidly forging to the front of the amber fluids which are re- tailed in this vicinity. The bottling plant was but re- cently added to the local brewing plant and was put in at the sugges- tion of Fred Eberlein, the general manager for the Bemidji Brewing company. Mr. Eberlein bought the very best and most up-to-date machinery that money could buy and has installed a plant second to none as to complete- ness. The plant is “soaker,” provided with a which automatically soaks plied with steam pipes, thus sterliz- ing the bottles. The labels are then put on by the new labeling machine, which is pro- vided with paste, rubbers, etc., and the labels are put on very rapidly, it being much superior to the work done by hand. A large air-tight refrigérator is used as a storeroom for the beer when placed in cases. The bottling plant has a capacity of bottling three barrels, or 20,000 bottles, of beer per day. Fred Eberlein is the general manager and superintendent of the company and the bottling works. He has been in Beminji for the past six years, and has had splendid suc- cess in the manufacture of beer.

CARL DEANE GAVE MOST ASTONISHING EXHIBITION He Divulged Secrets of Many So-Called “‘Supernatural” Manifestation.— Will Appear Again Tonight. A splendid performance was given last night by Carl Deane, in his “Expose of Faking Mediums.” Mr. Deane explained his object was not to offend spiritualists, as everyone has a right to his religious belief, but his intention was to ex- pose the rank fakirs preying on such religious faith. Mr. Deane gave slate writing about mysteries, and actually told the names of persons unknown to bim in his clairvoyant work, after which he explained to the satisfac- tion of his audience, how each par- ticular thing was done. Those who did not attend last night missed one of the very best performances which pertains to supernaturalism. Mr. Deane’s work is similar to the type of Anna Eva Fay, and was very cleverly done. How such things are possible has been a puzzle to most people, but the explanations given drove away all doubt as the mist before the ris- ing sun. Our citizens should turn out to- night, as Mr. Deane appears for the last time, in which he discloses many new features of an astonishing nature, Mr. Deane desires the attendance of spiritualists especially. Every courtesy will be given -and he is always ready ro explain any pheno- Up-to-Date Photography. It has long since become an es- tablished fact that the Sweet Studios, the Minneapolis photographers, rank with the best artists in their line in the éntire country. Their work has teen reproduced in the fore- most publications of the day, which is one of the surest tests of its excel- lence. Their facility in making life- size portraits has gained them a unique reputation and placed their work in a class by itself. Their skill in posing subjects, one of the most difficult brances of their work, has brought them the patronage of-not- able men and women all over this Northwest. A visit to their studio is equal in pleasure afforded toa trip through the most famous art gallaries for it brings one in close touch with personalities of more than mere local renown, A photo- graph signed by Sweet is a mark of good taste on the part of the sub- ject as well as a source of lasting satisfaction in the family circle. When contemplating a visit to Minneapolis, plan to make a call at The Sweet Studio, one of your main objects. Their facilities for turning out high class work promptly and at satisfactory prices are unequalled. Special Meetings.

T. Donnelly, the local driver of harness horses, has returned to Be- midji, after having made the circuit in North Dakota ‘and western Can- ada with a string of horses. He didnot win any large amount of | money with his horses, yet he made a fairly good showing, everything considered. “Prince Hal,” William Begsley’s fast pacer, was a great disappoint- ment this year. Prior to the de- parture of the horse for the races over the west, he was treated for his teeth and his leg was injured. Donnelly entered *“Prince Hal” in all the free-for-all stakes, but the horse continued lame and after rac- ing at Winnipeg and Brandon he was withdrawn and did not partici- pate in any more events. “Prince Hal” was third in the races at Winnipeg and Brandon, but it is believed he would have won each of the events had he been in conditition. Donnelly did very well with “Ida G,” the green trotter owned by Ole Anderson of this city. “Ida G” was third in the 2:30 trot at Fargo last week where she secured a record of 2:26. Mr. Donnelly will give his horses a rest here preparatory to taking “Prince Hal” and “Ida G” through the Wisconsin circuit.. The Begsley pacer is in fair condition now and it is expected that he will be able to go at top speed when taken to Wisconsin. FORMER RUSSIAN SOLDIER Bandit Who Fought to Death After Robbing Bank. St. Paul, Aug. 7.—While August Pohl, the White Bear desperado, lies at the county morgue practically un- identified the fourth victim of his deadly alm, William Butler, is at the point of death at St. Joseph’s hos- pital. His intestines were pierced by two bullets. For the desperate holdup and sub- soquent fight*made by the bandit the police offer a new theory. Contrary to the first belief that Pohl was a professional cracksman of the des- perado type, who will invariably fight to death when cornered, it is now be- lleved that he was nothing more than a demented foreigner, He was a novice at all events, as shown in the manner in which he risked his life when there were many ways in which he would have been able to carry the holdup to success. The police have learned that the ban- dit was an ex-Russian soldier. He served in the Russo-Japanese war and | scars on his head and body indicated that he had been severely wounded. His actions at White Bear during the time he spent In the village were not those of a bank robber or des- perate criminal, declare the police, and though it was very evident that he had contemplated the robbery for several days its execution was raw work, the police say, and probably the result of a deranged mind. 8imilar to Elsie Sigel Murder.

CUSTOMS RECEIPTS HEAVY Collections During July Aggregate Over $36,000,000, an Increase for the Present Year of More Than $11, 000,000 as Compared WIth Last. Great Rush to Enter imports in Last Few Days, ‘Washington, . Aug. 7.—Information received at the treasury from New York city, Boston and Philadelphia in- dicates that the new tarlff law 1s working unexpectedly smoothly. _Generally at the beginning of the operation of a new tariff law matters in the big custom houses are at “sixes and sevens” for a few days, but no confusion yet has manifested itself in the administration of the Payne law, it is sald. By treasury'officlals this is accounted for by reason of the new law having been constructed on the general lines of the Dingley act, al- though, of course, the figures differ. In anticipation” of the enactment of the new law general instructions were sent by the treasury department two weeks ago to collectors of customs at the various ports of the United States. The collectors were directed, pending the arrival in their offices of official coples of the new law, to collect the duties under the old law on estimates, but not to liquidate any entries until they had the new law before them. New York Collections Heavy. Approximately two-thirds of all the customs dues received by the govern- ment are taken in at the port of New York. The next largest ports are Boston and Philadelphia. In all there are about 150 ports of the United States at which duties are collected. It is noted with considerable inter- est at the treasury department that the receipts from customs have in- creased materially since the beginning of the present fiscal year on July 1. In the thirty-one business days of this fiscal year the amount collected aggre- gates $36,307,948, while for precisely the corresponding period of last year the collections were $24,841,830, mak- ing an increase for the present year of $11,466,118. During the last three days the receipts have averaged about $1,- 600,000 a day, nearly twice as much as for the corresponding days of last year. This increase is accounted for by the desire of importers to lquidate their entries before the new law went into effect. NO CHANGE AT STOCKHOLM Serious Situation as Result of Strike s Continues. Stockholm, Aug. 7.—The situation in Stockholm with regard to the labor nflict shows no material change. 6 workmen employed at the power statfon which supplies the electricity for lighting the capital have joi ed ths strikers. The service is now maintained by officlals of the light- department. As the strikers have been prevent- ing farmers from bringing provisions into the city troops have been de- tailed to patrol the country roads. For the use of children the milftary authorities continue to dispense milk from the railroad stations. The sale of methylated spirits has been forbidden, as it has been found that the workmen, unable to obtain thelr usual @rink, are resorting to this Hquor. Tha strikers held their first gengral meeting in the woods north of Stock- Im and adopted a resolution to con- nus the strike until all the questions dispute shall have been settled to t e strikers’ satisfaction.
