WILL RUSH SEWER WORKS; THREE BLOCKS TO BUILD Bosworth Bros. of Ada Have Contract to Lay Pipe, and H. F. Bosworth Is on the Ground to Personally Supervise Work. H. F. Bosworth of Ada is in Be- midji and will at once “‘get busy” with the work of installing the three blocks of sewer, the contract for laying of which was .awarded to Bosworth Bros. of Ada, ata meet- ing of the city council held August 2nd, the contract price for the in- stalling of the sewer being $2,864.70, the Bosworth’s being the successful bidders among three other companies which submitted bids. The practicall y three blocks of mains, sewer extension comprises extending from Third street and America avenue to Sixth street America avenue and from the corner of Fifth street, on Beltrami avenue. Mr. Bosworth states that he will push the work on the laying of this sewer just as rapidly as men can handle the material. There is some scarcity of laboringmen hereabouts, but he anticipates little trouble in securing adequate help. The completion of this addition to the sewers will give to Bemidji a fine sewer system, in the down-town district. GASH BEING PAID FOR OUTSTANDING WARRANTS No ‘‘Hitch,” Now, in Checking Out Funds Available at Capital National Bank. The payment of the outstanding indebtedness of Beltrami county as represented by warrants drawn by the county auditor, the payment of which was provided for by the recent bond issue of $195,000, is now being made without any “hitch” anywhere, all of the “red tape” having been finally “unwound” and all restrictions removed from the releasing of the funds by the Capital National Bank of St. Paul, which is paying the money for the warrants. For some time there were grave apprehensions that the trust com- pany that was awarded the bonds would let the matter drag for several months, thus adding costs to the bond issue. The auditor issues additional war- rants for the interest due on the original warrants, both of which are being paid by County Treasurer French with a check on the Capital National bank. the funds were released by the St. Paul bank, and it is evpected by the auditor and that the treasurer The Onetti Sisters, Eurbbean Gymnasts, Engaged for the Mir{nesota State Fair, September 6-11. greater part of the entire issue of for tthe Presbyterian Sunday school will be held on Friday, Aug. 20.

Died, at the home of her parénts in this city, Saturday evening, Margaret Delthine, the 4-months-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A. Ellison, the cause of death being cholera infantum, the child being taken il Friday afternoon, her condition growing rapidly worse until death ensued Saturday evening. The body was taken to Brainerd last night and the funeral and burial services were held there this afternoon, the services being in charge of the local Norwegian Luth- eran minister, and the body being interred in the family lot. “And oh, when aweary, may we be so blest, And sink like the innocent child to rest, And feel ourselves clasped to the Infinite breast.” Thus over a happy home the shadow of a little grave has fallen; and as another has said, it is wonder- ful how long a shadow a little grave can throw. This beautiful baby lite was so precious, so fraught with blessing to her parents that she seemed a flower of paradise permitted to bloom for a brief season by their side, then recalled to its nature skies, leaving the earth road for them dark and lonely indeed. Death is a hard master. He would take from us of our bright- est and best, but he cannot even mar memory. It will serve as a balm to our wounded hearts. Miles VanAlstein Answers Final Call. Miles VanAlstein, father of Mrs. A. Lloyd, died in this city Sunday afterhoon, at the advanced age of 79 years, death being caused by paresis, with which the decased had been afflicted for some time past. The funeral services will be held in St. Phillip’s church Thursday and tbe body will be interred in Green- wood cemetery. Mr. VanAlstein was a kind and loveable old gentleman, whose death is sincerely mourned by all who knew him. His was a useful life, and in his death his relatives and friends lose a valued citizen whose life was spent in the performance of good deeds. Victim of Alcoholism. Peter Audett, who was committed to the county jail for fifteen days for drunkenness, died at the jail last evening, at 8 o’clock, after serving three days of his sentence, death being directly dueto the effects of over-indulgance in intoxicants. Audett was gathered in by the local police Friday and taken before H. W. Bailey, judge of the municipal court, who sentenced him to serve fifteen days in the county jail, Audett at the time belng in a miser- able condition—a nervous wreck. Audett was taken to the county jail and placed under the care of the turnkey. “#le got along all right Saturday and part of Sunday. Sun- day afternoon he was seized with what is known as a “whisky fit,” and it was with considerable difficulty that the unfortunate man was calmed and his nerves steadied temporarily. Last night Audett was again seized with an alcohol “fit” and did not re- cover, losing consciousness and pass- ing to the great beyond. Coroner Ibertson decided that no inquest was necessary and stated that death had been caused by acute alcoholism. The body of Audett will be taken from Bisiar & Murphy’s chapel to- morrow forenoon at 10 o’clock, and the remains will be entered in Green- wood - cemetery. Audett is suruived by his wife, who lives in Bemidji. He was 34 years old, and was born in Canada. Aged Lady Dies.

Carl Bergman’s Demise. Carl Bergman, aged 33 years, died Saturday afternoon, at the home of his parents, in the Town of Turtle Lake, east of Mobel lake.
