This evening, the Bemidji band will give the first of a series of in- door concerts which will be con- tinued _ throughout the winter, one each month, and until next spring when the weather will permit out- door playing. Professor Harry Masten, leader of the band, has done everything possible to give to Bemidji a fifst- class band and orchestra, and his efforts have met with splendid success. It has been.a difficult matter to hold first-class musicians when he came to Bemidji, but on the whole the present band is well balanced and plays together nicely. The Bemidji orchestra, under the direction of Professor Masten, is rapidly rounding into form as |lone of the best high-class organi- zations of this character in northern Minnesota; and local people are proud of the advancement made by both the band and the orchestra. All subscribers to the band fund, together with their families, will be admitted free to the concert. Non- subscribers will be charged 50 cents for each concert. A ball will be given, immediately at the conclusion of the concert, the music for the dancing to be furnished | by the barnd. This concert and dance should be well patronized, as the efforts ot Prof. Masten and his “boys” of the band and orchestra to give Bemidji fine musical organizations are worthy DR.KING'S NEW BBISTOVERY Wili Surely Siop Fhat Gough. ot the best substantial aid that can be rendered.

St. Petersburg, Oct. 29.—One thou- sand and thirty-eight persons were conderunad to deatk in European Rus- sia during the. first nine months of the present year and 447 of them were executed, according to official figures | just made public. _ No attempt was made by the gov- ernment -to conceal the figures, but comment upon them Will certainly be cpposed by the censor.
