i | “MUSICAL ECKHARDTS” WILL BE HERE SUNDAY Will Give a Matinee and an Evening Performance, Under Auspices of Co. K. Compary K, Bemidji’s militiacom- pwny of the Minnesota National Guard, has arranged for the appear- ance here, under the auspices of the company, the famous ‘‘Musical Eck- barcts,” one of the greatest specialty companies in the entire country. The ‘‘Musical Eckhardts” will give two performances, at the Armory, Sunday afternoon and Sun- day evening, the matinee perform- ance to begin at 2:30 o’clock, the evening performance commencing at 9. The people of Bemidji will be given the opportunity of hesring the the form of a concert company that isnow on the road, as the following, taken from the Vancouver (B. C.) *“Province,” will show: “The Musical Eckhardts enter- tained a large audience in Mt Pleasant Methodist church on Thurday evening with Swiss bells, somerphone, aluminium chimes, musical glasses, reeds, rattles, trom- bone, cornet, bass horn, violin and in character impersonations. “The entertainment was splendid and each performer proved an artist of the first rank. The bells were sweet and soft toned and the Eck- bardts Leld their audience enrap- tured with their playing. G. C. Eckhardt performed upon 150 bells, and there certainly was some speed with his hands. “The program was made up of classical and religious music, and the elocutionary work was fine and con- sisted of humorous and pathetic readings. famous , When You Have a Prescription You want it accurately filled and with the purest of drugs.

Mr. McCoil, the Presbyterian minis- ter at Port Moody, arose in the audience and made a short address in praise of the Eckhardts and said he had discovered they had once been members of his congregation back east. They had played in his church at Port Moody, but he was availing himself of hearing them again.” The character of the entertain. ment given by the “Musical Eck- hardts” is such that the most par- ticular church-goers could not possi- bly take offense, and the church peo- ple of Bemidji are especially invited to attend either or both perform- ances, as the entertaiment is elevat- ing in every way.

IN $50,000 DAMAGE SUIT John C. Watson Claims He Was Per- manently Injured at Bemidji Depot.— Wants $50,000. The Minnesota & International railroad was Friday made defend- ant in a $50,000 damage suit by John C. Watson, who claims to have been permanently disabled by falling between the steps of a passenger coach and the station platform at Bemidji, Aug. 11 last. Watson is a typewriter sales- man, twenty-four years old. His complaint states that he boarded a passenger train at International Falls and that while alighting in the dark at the Bemidji depot he fell between the platform and the cars and sustained injuries which have permanently disabled him.— Brainerd Dispatch. It is said that Watson was quite severely injured by the fall at the M. & 1. depot, of which mention is made above. He was an inmate of the St. Anthony’s hospital for several days after which he was taken to Grand Forks Bay, where his parents were spending the summer in one of the cottages.

EDDY MAKES. PRIVATE VISIT TO GITY|; Ex-Congressman Denies Possession of Any Political Knowledge.—*“Simply A Business Visit.” Hon. F. M. Eddy, ex-member of congress from the Ninth con- gressional district, was-a visitor in Bemidji yesterday afternoon and last night. Mr, morning for his home at Sauk Eddy left this Centre. Mr. Eddy interviewed several local people who are prominent politically, subject of congressional candidates and possibility of democratic suc- and touched on the F. M. £DDY. cess in electing a member to con- gress next fall. This was done in a causual way and was not, by any means, °the cause of Mr. Eddy'’s visit to Bemidji. He was here to close a business deal which had been hanging fire for several weeks and on the final sonsummation of which he will undoubtedly realize a handsome profit. Asked if he knew anything about politics and could give out any “inside information” thereon, Mr. Eddy said: *“I am not talking politics or mix- ing in politics on this trip. I find I do not know whether politics is spelled ‘tics’ or tix’; ” and the Sauk Centre statesman closed up like a trap. Splendid Services Last Night. [conTRIBUTED]. A very appreciative audience greeted the speaker last night at the Baptist church. Mr. Hulett preached a powerful sermon on the subject “To Whom Shall We Go,” contrasting the dif- ferent religions. He showed very plainly that none of them were to be compared with the religion of Jesus Christ; how that “The Christ” had changed and revolutionized so many lives through the ages, and that He is the same yesterday, today and forever. Mrs. Smyth, sang very touchingly, “Abide With Me.” The chorus is taking good hold of the singing, and everyoue is working hard to have the services successful. We are looking forward to a splen- Mrs. C.E. Hulett will have something good for us. “Come with usand we wlll do thee good.” Special Officer Killed In Yards.

New York Jan. 21.—American work- men use their brains more than Ger- man workmen do and use more up to date tools than German workmen, ac- cording to Dr. Joseph Hollenbauer, one of the largest manufacturers of structural steel and bronze products in Germany. Dr. Hollenbauer employs more than 4,000 men in his various plants. He has just arrived from Ger- many “to learn something,” as he ex- presses it, and will go immediately to California to study the various fac- tories there which are related to his line of work. “I have tried in vain to get our German workmen to become well edu- cated and work in the same spirit that American workmen do,” said Dr. Hollenbauer. “The German workman is content to work with old fashioned tools. He does not care for good tools of the modern make. The result is that it takes him a month to turn out work that an American workman would turn out in eleven days.” DECLARES TRUSTS ARE RESPONSIBLE Senator B.rad!eymcusses Night Riding in Kentucky. ‘Washington, Jan. 21.—Replying from the floor of the senate to a recently published newspaper article on night riding in Kentucky, its causes and re- sults, Senator W. O. Bradley of that state uttered vigorous protest against what he declared was the injustice and the falsity of the story. i The inspiration of the article, he de- clared, is easily discovered. “But a short time ago the so called independ- ent tobacco buyers met in this city, their purpose being to relieve them- selves of legislation passed at the last session of congress; and the whole ob- ject of the attack is to prejudice the mind of congress, of the president and the department of justice against the tobacco societies of Kentucky in orde that the so called independents and their allies may cause, whether justly or not, proceedings to be inaugurated by the government against these so- cieties under the Sherman anti-trust law.” After giving some history of the events leading up to the passage by the Kentucky legislature of the stat- ute allowing the farmers to pool their crops Mr. Bradley asserted that “the trusts and not the night riders are re- sponsible for all the crimes committed within the borders of the state in con- nection with the tobacco troubles.” CONGRESS OPPOSED TO IT Lakes-to-Gulf Deep Waterway Project Dead for Present. Chicago, Jan. 21.—A Washington dis- patch to the Record-Herald from Wal- ter Wellman says: “There is excellent authority for the statement that, so far as this congress is concerned, the Lakes-to-the-Gulf deep waterway project is dead. “A public man thorqughly familiar with the situation in both houses of congress says the scheme has no earthly chance of going through. In his opinion, it will not even be favor- ably reported by the house committee on rivers and harbors.” His informa- tion, usually most accurate, is that,| only two members of the Republican majority of the committee favor it. Even if the committee should report it, this authority declares, it cannot be adopted 1n either house. “The attitudé of President Taft is distinctly cold toward the scheme, not- withstanding his famous trip down the “(ississippi.” lowa Farmers Seize Coal. Riceville, Ia,, Jan. 21.—Riceville is about out of coal. The electric light plant has been forced to close and other plants are operating on the mini- mum amount of coal. When a car of goal arrives it is surrounded by farm- ers, who speedily unload it for their own use. Body Found in a Trunk. Seattle, Wash,, Jan. 21.—The dis- membered body of a young woman was found in a trunk on the shore at the north entrance to Seattle harbor. The trunk apparently had been buried high upon the bluff, byt had been car- ried down to the beach by a recent landslide.
