Should the weather man see fit to favor Bemidji with fair weather, and the rain should hold off, there is every promise of the Fourth Annual Fair of the Beltrami County Agricul- tural association (which will be held Wednesday, Thursday and Friday of this week) being a record-breaker in the matter of attendance, in the large number of exhibits, together with exciting races and a thrilling balloon ascension. That there will be a large number of entries of agricultural and dairy products, grains, grasses and root crops, together with dairy cows and beef cattle, horses, hogs and sheep, is assured by entries which have already been made with Secretary Mackenzie. The first entry was made by Thomas Moorisonof Kelliher, who made his entry the latter part of last week. He has always taken big prizes for his vegetables. A considerable quantity of vege- tables were brought in yesterday and entered for the fair, and while Wednesday has been set aside as “Entry Day,” there are already on the grounds a number of first-class exhibits. No doubt the main build- ing will be filled to overflowing, as the Village of Blackduck has ap- plied for fifty feet of space in the main building, in which to display the products raised in the vicinity of Blackduck this season. N Secretary Mackenzie has prepared the official program of the fair, which is as given above. SPEAKERS OF REPUTE TO SPEAK AT GOUNTY FAIR Tuesday, September 16th , Is “‘Farm- ers’ Day” at the Beltrami County Annual Fair. September 16 (the second day of the fair) has been designated as «Farmers’ Day,” and an especially attractive program has been arranged for that day. Ransom A. Moore, professor of agronomy in the University of Wis- consin, has been engaged to speak on that day. Mr. Moore is an ac- authorities all over the oountry. Mr. Moore was given special mention by J. J. Hill in the famous address which the railroad magnate de- livered before the Minnesota legis- lature last winter, at which time Mr. Hill called particular attention to the development of the agricultural sources of the northwest. Mr. Moore’s speech will teem with valu- able information on agronomy. Professor A. J. McGuire of Grand Rapids, superintendent of the North- east Experimental farm, has also been engaged to speak. No man in the state of Minnesota is better qualified to tell the farmers what are the proper methods to pursue in profitable dairying and farming in northern Minnesota. Mr. McGuire has achieved phenominal success at the experimental farm and he has given valuable assistance in develop- ing this section of the state. Prof. Thomas A. Cooper, professor agricultural at the University of Minnesota, and A. D. Wilson, super- intendent of Minnesota Farmers’ Institutes, have been engaged to be present on “Farmers Day,” and will deliver speeches on farming, enrich- ing soil, animal husbandry, etc. While these two gentlemen are, personally, very little known in this section, they are thoroughly con- versant with farm conditions here- abouts and will have something good to give fair attendants. All of these speakers will welcome questioning on farm pursuits, and have readily consented to come to Bemidji and assist in making the fair of ’09 a big success. Card of Thanks. To those people who were so kind to me and mine during the recent illneas and subsequent death and burial of my wife, I desire to return my sincere and heartfelt thanks, Such extreme kindness, in hours of trouble and darkness, is very wel- come, and I thoroughly appreciate it. May you be spared such sorrow and affliction. —Charles Miller. Wanted, good girl tor general house work. Inquire of Mrs. C. J.

HENRIONNET MILLINERY OPENING; SWELL EVENT Window Decorating Was Striking and Original.—Large Stock of Beau- tiful Pattern Hats. The display window at the Henri- onnet Millinery Parlors is one of the most striking illustrations that the writer ha's ever seen, illustrating, as it does, the most noteworthy acheive- ment of recent years, the discovery of the north pole by Dr. Cook. This window was prepared for the fall opening of the Henrionnet Millinery Parlors, which occured last Friday and Saturday, at which time a large number of millinery patrons visited the parlors and were especially pleased with the widnow- The window is fitted with a “north pole,” to which is nailed a small United States flag and beneath the pole is a very excellent likeness of Dr, Cook. On either side of the pole are displayed two elegantly- trimmed pattern hats, one of which is labeled the “Dr. Cook Hat,” and being a splendid creation of the milliner’s art. The whole interior of the window is finished with cotton baton and sprinkled with diamond dust, re. presenting snow, the result being beautiful and very effective. In the interior of the parlors there is a display of what is undoubtedly the largest and most complete stock of especially-selected pattern hats of the very latest designs. The designs of these pattern Rats are very pleasing and the coloring very harmonious. Mrs. Henrionunet has in her employ this year five first-class trimmers, chief among whom is Miss Stella Reilly of St. Paul. A splendid patronage has been accorded the Henrionnet Millinery Parlors, which attests the apprecia- tion of Bemidji ladies of Mrs. Henri- onnet’s efforts to give them the very best that eastern markets afford in the line of millinery. and up-to.date K. of P.

The attention of the city council last evening was taken up principally with the report of the Commercial Club-Citizens’ commitee and council committee relative to granting a franchise to the Warfield Electric| company, which was presented to the council and discussed at length, the outcome of which was the defer- ring of the matter of a new electric franchise for one week, it being the sense of the meeting thata com- mittee, consisting of E.

Warfield, of the Warfield Electric company, and City Attorney John F. Gibbons should meet and discuss the various points raised re- garding the franchise and present to the council next Monday evening a new ordinance such as they might agree upon. T. J. Burke, of the Citizens com- mittee, reported as follows: “In combining all the information received during our visit to Hudson, Stillwater and Red Wing, we submit as follows: “In our opinion, the following clause should be inserted in the proposed new franchise and contract: “The life of the contract should be reduced from fifteen to five years. *“There should be a schedule price per horsepower per annum for manu- facturing purposes. “All buildings should be wired strictly in accordance with the national code as suggested in the letter received from Mr. McLeran. “Duluth, Minn., Sept. 7. “Mr. T.

Your supposition that there are many buildings in your city that are not properly wired is correct and this deficiency, as you know, brings an addi- tional insurance tax and is g vital hazard to your whole community.
