THE BEMIDJI BAND WILL GIVE ANOTHER GONGERT Director Harry Masten Has Splendid Program Arranged for Friday Night's Concert. The regular monthly concert will be given by the Bemidji band Fri- day evening of this week, at the Armory, and much interest is being taken in the event, because of the fact that Professor Harry Masten, director of the band, announces that he will have a very attractive progam, which will be even better than ths previous indoor concerts given this winter by the band. It is the intention of Director Masten tocut the band numbers, especially solos, and to give a more varied program, in which local talent, other than members of the band, will participate. The Bemidji male quartette, Messrs. Rood, Barker, Neilson and French, will render selections, and| Mr. Rood will sing a solo, and others who are not yet announced will take part. The Bemidji orchestra will give a dance at the close of the concert, the music to be furnished by the orchestra. Bemidji is proud of its band and orchestra, there is no doubt about the loyalty of local citizens in that respect. But the best exemplifica- tion of this loyalty can be shown by patronizing the concerts given by the band. Prof. Harry Masten has worked wonders with the band and orchestra, and he deserves and should get all financial aid possible. Show your loyalty to the band in the best possible manner, by attend- ing the concert Friday night; and induce all your friends to buy tickets and go;—that’s loyalty of the right kind.

Doings At The Court House. Judge Stanton has denied the motion for a new trial in the case of Jacob L. Brown vs. the Douglass Lumber company, a personal injury suit in which a verdict of $3,500 was awarded the plaintiff at the term of court held last May. George Moody of Brainerd, the popular court reporter for Judge McClenahan, is officiating in “tak- ing notes” at this term of court for Judge McClenahan. Mr. Moody is _oneof the best-known court reporters in the state of Minnesota; and his friends throughout this judicial dis- trict are legion. Judge Wright has been at Pine Ciuty during the past week presiding at court in place of Judge Solberg. Judge Wright arrived in Bemidji to- day to sit in banc with Judges Stanton and McClenahan on the fire warden cases. E. H. Cornwall is acting as deputy sheriff, and has been sworn in as officer in charge of the grand jury. Sheriff Hazen is being assisted by Deputies Andrew Johnson, Christ Olson and James Cahill. Chief Deputy Andrew Johnson is recover- ing nicely from the effects of the terrible bullet wound which he sus- taiLed on the night of November 25, and he is receiving the con- gratulations of all attendents at the court house. Sears, Roebuck Sued. Much interest is being mani- fested in a suit brought by the Chas, A. Stickney company of St. Paul, manufacturers of gasoline engines, against Sears, Roebuck & Co,, of Chicago, for damages resulting from the alleged fraudu- lent listing of the Stickney gaso- line engines in the mail order house’s catalogs at a higher horse- power than the engines possess. In the first trial, in the municipal court ‘of Chicago, judgment was given against the defendants for $10,000. An appeal was taken and a new trial granted on tech- nical grounds, but the second award was even higher than the first—$13,750. has been granted. It was shown in court that Sear, Roebuck & Co. listed a two- and-a-half horsepower engine as a three horsepower engine, a four- and-a-half horse power as a five horsepower, and so on all along the line, It was also shown that they had tried to induce Stickney & Co. to make the same fraudu- lent claims in the Stickney cata- log. It is estimated that Sears, Roebuck & Co. made from g15 to $20 on. each engine by means of the higher listing. —Twin City Commercial Bulletin. A Delightful Party. Mrs. A. E.

In your presence I will end the life you have blighted.” He drew forth’ a small bottle la- beled “Poison,” drank off the contents and fell senseless at her feet. Did she sink beside him sobbing with remorse? No. She hastily left the room and in two minutes had returned and was kneeling beside him. Then she forced between his lips the following: Half a cup of turpentine, one pint of milk, a cup of warm soapsuds, a tablespoonful of aromatic ammonia, a cup of black coffee, a glass of mustard and water, a gill of vinegar, the juice of a lemon, the beaten whites of six eggs and one cup of flour and water. “Algernon,” she observed coldly as he slowly opened his eyes, “it is evi- dent you had forgotten that I am a graduate of a correspondence course in first aild. My one regret is that, as I could not on the instant ascertain whether you had taken an acid or an alkall, I was compelled to administer all the antidotes I had learned.”—Lon- don Scraps. A Picture Romance. It is said that one of the most beau- tiful ladies in French society today ‘was first revealed to her husband on the walls of the salon. It was while visiting the salon in 1878 that the youthful Marquis de C. was struck by the childish beauty of a young girl, one of the prominent figures in a pic- ture of a village fete. Her tumbled golden locks, her dancing blue eyes and the freshness and graceful aban- don of her figure so fascinated him that he sought out the artist and learn- ed from him that the “liftle witch” was the daughter of a poor peasant near Avranches, where the picture was painted. To seek out the peasant and to make the acquaintance of his fas- clnating daughter, child of nine sum- mers, was soon accomplished, and the | marquis lost his heart even more com- pletely to the real than to the pictured maid. With the father’s approval he ‘had the girl educated at one of the best schools in Paris, and nine years later, on her elghteenth birthday, the mald of the village fete blossomed into the still more lovely Marquise de C. : Ivory Jelly. The jelly wag singularly pale. It al- most resembled junket. “Tt is ivory jelly,” said the invalid. “My English cousins sent me a case of it from Sheffield.” “But why Is it called ivory Jelly?” they inquired. “Precisely because it is made of ivo, ry. A third of England’s ivory goes to Sheffield, and in the process of grind- Ing and cutting it for knife handles, and so forth, a lot of ivory dust re- mains, a fine dust, similar to the best flour. Of this the Sheffield folk have ‘made jelly for many years. “The jelly for some reason is nour- ishing, extremely so. The doctors pre- #cribe it for the anaemic. And of late a Sheffield firm has taken to manufac- turing it on a large scale. Sheffield fvory jelly is now on the market. “Qut. of courtesy to my cousins I tried it. To my surprise I found It good. My doctor, sampling it, found it good too. He told me to take the whole case.”—Buffalo Express. An Interesting Book. A French marquise whose country bouse is crowded with guests during the hunting season hit upon the origi- nal idea of placing a register at the disposal of her ‘visitors in which to record their desires and criticisms. The pages of the richly bound book soon began tu: be covered with notes such as: “Count de R. still owes 25 louls. He knows to whom.” “The green peas yesterday were burned.” “Baroness M. flirts—unfortunately not with me.” The marquise has withdrawn the register. Parents’ Hairs and Heirs. It 1s possible to predict from the hair of parents the form ‘of their children’s hair. Two blue eyed, straight haired parents will have only blue eyed, straight haired children. Two wavy haired parents may have straight, wavy or curly haired children, but the chances of curly hair are slight. Two curly haired parents may have chil- dren with either straight, wavy or curly hair, but the proportion of curly baired offspring will probably be large. ~—American Naturalist. SENATOR BEVERIDGE. l Indianan Proposes to Save Alaskan Riches for People. PORTLAND GATEWAY CASE Argument Made Before United States Supreme Court. +Washington, Feb. 24.—What prom- ises to be the final contest over the famous “Portland gateway case” took place before the supreme court of the United States. Counsel for each side of the controversy argued the dispute. Charles W. Bunn of St. Paul, general counsel for the Northern Pacific rail- road, appeared for that company and ‘Wade H. Ellis, assistant to the attor- ney general, spoke for the govern- ment. The issue is whether the order of the interstate commerce commission requiring the Northern Pacific to en- ter into joint rates between Puget sound points and Eastern points via Portland, Ore,, is to stand. The prin- ciple involved, it is said, reaches every section of the country. No Home Rule This Session. London, Feb. 24—In the house of commons Premier Asquith, replying to a question, stated definitely that the government had no intention of in- troducing a home rule for Ireland bill during the present session. z, Japan May Annex Korea. Peking, Feb. 24.—According to dis patches received here from Tokio the annexation- of Korea is foreshadowec in Japanese press reports, appareutly inspired, saying that such annexatior may occur at any moment. Trophies of the Chase. In the days when buffalo still roam- ed the plains of Kansas in countless numbers a great many hunting parties came over from Europe to have a hand in their slaughter. One party was com- posed of a Frenchman named Auguste Rouzand, the first husband of Christine Nilsson, the prima donna, and an Eng- Ushman, a Mr. Blackmore, from Lon- don. They arrived at Dodge City one day in the fall with a carload of equip- ment, including every sort of delicacy that the market afforded and several large trunks full of bright new butcher knives. A detachment of the Sixth cavalry from Fort Dodge was detailed to accompany them, and probably no command ever fared better than that one did. The Englishman shot a few buffalo, and the soldiers slaughtered them by the hundreds. But the French- man didn’t kill one. Instead, as fast as the animals were. shot he would take one of his' brand new butcher knives, plunge it into the slain animal until it was smeared with blood, wrap 1t carefully in tissue paper and put it back in the trunk as a trophy of the chase to exhibit when he got back to Paris as proof of his mighty prowess as a hunter. That was his idea of sport.—Kansas City Star. Thread Used In Surgery. Are you aware that the modern sur- geon employs in his work dozens of different kinds of thread for sewing up cuts and wounds? Among them are kangaroo tendons, horsehair, silk and very fine silver wire. Many of these threads are intended to hold for a certain number of days and then naturally break away. The short, tough tendons taken from the kanga- roo, which are used for sewing severe wounds, will -hold for about four weeks before they break away. Silk thread will remain much longer, some- times six months, while the fine silver wire Is practically indestructible. With the entire outfit a surgeon is able to select a thread that will last as long as the wound takes to heal and will then disappear completely. To accommodate this assortment of threads special varieties of needles are required. Besides the needle craned in different ségments of a circle, sur- geons use needles shaped like spears, javelins and bayonet points. — St. James’ Gazette. A Persistent Friend. Mr. George Weir, an English actor, in his early days appeared one night in the role of Hamlet in an improvised theater at Stroud, in Gloucestershire, and suffered much embarrassment from the demonstrative attentions of an enthusiastic former schoolfellow, who sat in the front of the tent and kept up a running comment on the performance. “That be Gargy Weir,” exclaimed the admirer. *1 knows Gargy! [ used to go to school along wi' he” After many expostulations the interrupter was turned .out, and all went well until the audience was hushed to deadly silence while Ham- let was going through his soliloquy Then suddenly a still, small voice came cheeringly from the back row of seats, “Garge, 1| be in again!"—Bell- man WOULD RETAIN - ALRSKAN COAL Bills to That Effect Intro- duced in Senate, BEVERIDGE THE AUTHOR Measures Are the Outcome of the Re- cent Testimony Regarding the Value of Deposits Controlled by the Mor gan-Guggenheim Syndicate — Pro- posed Lands in Question Be With: drawn From Entry Entirely. ‘Washington, Feb. 24—The recent startling testimony concerning the val- ue of coal deposits in Alaska, given before the senate committee on terri- tories by Manager Birch of the Gug genheim-Morgan Alaskan syndicate, has resulted in a movement in the sen- ate in the interest of the permanent retention of the titles to the Alaska coal deposits in the United States. Bills looking to that end were intro- duced by Senator Beveridge, chair- man of the committee of territories. One of the measures provides for the withdrawal from every form of entry or sale all the coal deposits of Alaska. The other bill arrangés for the leasing of the properties. Tfle lat ter legislation prohibits the rental oi more than 2,600 acres to more .than one person or association, or for more than thirty years. It is provided that the surface overlying coal deposits may be disposed of under the land laws. In presenting the bills Mr. Bev- eridge spoke of Mr. Birch’s revelations and in addition presented many other figures to show the extraordinary val- ue of the Alaskan coal deposits, which, he predicted, would be neéded in time not only by the Pacific coast but by the entire country. He placed the gross valuation of the Baring river and Matanuska deposits at $2,000,000, 000 and said that the researches of the geological survey had revealed many other deposits in the' territory. He gave 15,000,000,000 as the total tonnage of the territory. On Mr. Bev- eridge’s request the bills were referred to the committee on public lands. Senator Nelson, chairman of that committee, gave assurances that legis- lation*would be recommended by the committee. CHINESE 0CCUPY TIBETAN CAPITAL Ruler -of the Country Escapes Into India, Calcutta, British India, Feb. 24— Chinese troops have entered Lhasa. the capital of Tibet and the residence of the Dalai Lama, the supreme head of the Lamaist hierarchy. Upon the approach of the soldiers the famous ecclesiastic fled with several of his ministers into India. Serious trouble has been expected owing to the action of the small Chi- nese army which, marching from Sze- chuen, China, subdued Eastern Tibet, levying contributions on the Lama’s people and showing no respect for the monasteries. The Tibetans, resenting the desecration of their holy places, petitioned the Chinese foreign board. praying that the emperor of China in terfere in the interests of the Bud dhists. The petition was disregarded as the Chinese propose to make the administration of the country purely Chinese. The Dalal Lama appealed to Lord Minto, Vviceroy of India, but the latter [ refused to intervene. When the Chi- nese troops were reported as moving from the province of Khan, ostensibly to strengthen the garrison at Lhasa, the Lama hastily quitted the capital and proceeded toward Darjiling. PEARY’S PROOFS REQUESTED House Committee Wants Something More Than General Reports. ‘Washington, Feb. 24.—Peary’s proofs that he reached the North pole were called for by the naval committee of the house. A sub-committee having under con- sideration the several bills introduced for the purpose of conferring various; reward upon Commander Peary for his explorations and discoveries adopt- ed a resolution calling on the secre- tary of commerce and labor for any official reports or proofs from Peary, confirming the latter’s discovery of the North pole. During his last leave of absence from the navy Peary worked undsr the direction of that department. A member of tha naval committee said that they had had nothing more than “general reports” that Peary had reached the pole and that the com- mittee felt that they should be fur- nished with something official. Fireman Killed by Train, Waterloo, Ta,, Feb. 24.—Clyde Scott, a fireman, was killed and Fred Camp- bell, engineer, had a leg broken when a special passenger train'on the Chi- cago Great Western collided with a switch engine in the yards here.

COPYRIGHT BY CLINEDINST TO CROSS OCEAN IN AIRSHIP German Aeronaut Proposes to Make Attempt in April. New York, Feb. 24.—If Karl Leps of Hamburg can find a proper place in the neighborhood of New York for a balloon landing he intends to sail in his big dirigible from Germany in April. With eight motors generating 1,000 horsepower he will make the trip in three days, he says. He plans to have nine passengers with him, al- though his airship would easily carry ten times as many. Leps did not bring his airship with him. He merely came to select a land- ing place and will return shortly. He declares that airships will shortly take the place of all the transatlantic steamships as passenger carriers, al- though he thinks that some of the big liners may be kept on duty for the purpose of transporting freight. BOARD OF VISITORS - OPENS ITS INQUIRY Probing Alleged Socialistic Leg- fures an Wisconsin “U0.” Madison, Wis., Feb: 24 —Inquiry in- to the charges that socialistic ideas are being taught in the University of ‘Wisconsin was begun by a special com, mittee of the board of: visitors. Sever- al students testified. The committee comprises Judge E. Ray Stevens of Madison, chairman; Thomas L. Jores of Fond du Lac, who is superintendent of schools of that city, and Attorney C. F. Lamb of Madison. It is expect- ed that the committee will inquire re- garding a lecture that Parker H. Ser- combe of Chicago, formerly fo Mil-| waukee, delivered in one of the uni- versity rooms’upon invitation of Pro- fessqr Ross. ‘This - incident has aroused some criticism on account of Mr. Ser- combe’s personality and his reputed views on some other questions. In his “talk at the university, however, Mr. Sercombe discussed nothing ex- cept the general subject of education. It is likely the investigation will deal also with the Emma Goldman in cident. It will be remembered that Professor Ross, who is now in China on a leave of absence, mentioned the anarchist’s lecture in a talk to his students and took occasion to con- demn her views.
