GOVERNOR AND PARTY T0 INSPECT DITGHES Will Leave St. Paul Friday for War- road—Will Have to “Hit the Trail.” Governor Eberhart, Auditor Iver son, Secretary of State Schmahl, and State Engineer, George Ralph will leave St. party will explore the the Lake of the Woods. All of the land to be covered be. longs to the state and is bounded on three sides by Canada, heing part of the land given to Minnesota after the boundary dispute with the Canadian government. Approxi- mately 100,000 acres is being bene- fited by the state ditches and as these townships are little known, the party will be going into the wilds. The trip will be made from War- road by boat and where the ditches Julius Paul Friday for a trip through the north- ern part of Beltrami county. The country arouad the new ditches being dug in the northern part of this county. The land to be covered runs up to ‘small boys in front with his clever footwork. H, Sutherland and Babe Russell were satisfactory in the part they took. The Curson sisters proved to be gracetul dancers and good singers, and Ruby DeBergen did good work ina French song and dance between acts. Tonight the company will pres- ent “Ina Woman’s Power” and «“Whose Baby are You.” Bath are complete in themselves and bear no relation to the acts given - last night, SPORTING NOTES Nymore Lost to Bagley.

Members of the state drainage com- mission will act as hosts on the trip. It is not yet known whether or not the party will come to Bemidji. THEATRIGAL GOMMENT. Brinkman Theatre. At the Brinkman last night, the Eatons proved a pleasant surprise as their number combined some diffi- cult and graceful tricks. Although skating numbers have been frequent ever since the roller craze hit this country again, their number was not tiresome because it was unique. Both of the Eatons proved them- selves masters of the skates and did some difficult tricks. Many couples have tried to waltz on skates, but the Eatons not only tried, but suc- ceeded in keeping in time with the music. It is hard enough to balance on one skate only, but both of them did tricks while balanced on the front truck of one skate. Their number is good. Neary and Milter proved good cloggers but unsatisfactory singers. They have some new steps that are difficult and well executed. Miss Jeanette Lee was better in her second song than in the first. Her *Honolula Rag” was new and" took well. The pictures last night were good. ‘The one from the Hawaiian Islands is instructive as it gives a true idea of what the island life islike. Tonight, the pictures of King Edward’s funeral will be offered. The bill this week is not as strong as it was last week, but itis pretty good at that. Armory Opera House. The Yankee Doodle Stock com- pany proved to be good entertainers at the Armory operr house last night. It was just as Oscar O’Shea, the leading man, said when he made his curtain speech, ‘“The company is here to entertain you for three nights and we say that we give you the best show for the price you pay that has ever come to Bemidji, bar none. “Only a Farmer’s Daughter” bor- ders closely on melodrama in spots. It gave an opportunity for introduc- ing some specialties that were above the average. The company was much better in “The Yankee Doodle Girl” where it hasa chance to get away from the tragic. Esther Evans and Oscar O’'Shea did good work in both playlets, Clyde Long won the gallery and Chicago. ... .. 49 28 .636 New York. 44 32 .584 Pittsburg 40 33 .548 Cincinnati. 518 hiladelphi: .480 423 St. Louis 443 Bosten . 378 American League Won Lost Pet Philadelphia. ...54 24 .692 New York. 46 32 .590 Boston . 32 .595 Detroit. . 37 .543 Cleveland 39 458 Chicago... 46 .408 Washington . .390 St. Louis..... 316 American Association St. Paul 9—Columbus 1.

Third street will be paved with a cement pavement from Minnesota to Bemidjiavenue, with the exception of square crossings, and work will probably be started by August 15. The crossings will not be paved as the new storm sewers are to be laid on Minnesota and Beltrami avenues and will have to cross Third street. St. Louis 4—New York 3. Detroit 4—Boston 9.

PACKERS ARE SUBPOENAED Officers of National Company Before Chicago Grand Jury. Chicago, July 19.—A special federal grand jury has begun the second lo- cal investigation of the year into the workings of the alleged “beef trust.” Seven officers and employes of the Na- tional Packing company were sub- poenaed to appear. Thosé subpoenaed were: . Ralph Crews, chief counsel; Arthur Colby, assistant treasurer; L. B. Pat- terson, vice president; W. E. Weber, general auditor; C. G. Snow, secre- tary; Alonzo N. Benn, director and as- sistant to President Edward Tilden; J. J. Risch, assistant general manager. Senator Stephenson’s Son Dead. Marinette, Mich., July 19.—Colonel I Watson Stephenson, aged thirty- seven years, oldest son of Senator Isaac Stephenson, died at.his home in Marinette of tuberculosis. || member how the trouble started, This action was taken by the council last night and bids on the paving according to the specifica- tions prepared by City Engineer Stoner will be advertised for at once. The specifications are such that the material used can be obtained at hoigzsand the contract will be let to a local contractor, thus keeping the money in the city. The resolution had to be passed by the council last night as after August 1, no funds can be voted be- cause the assessments to meet them cannot get in the tax levy and the city’s money is then tied up for a year. It will probably cost about $4500 to pave the two blocks. Yesterday afternodn, a meeting of property owners was called in the Commercial club rooms and a motion was passed that the city council be requested to see that p‘avxng on Third street was started as soon as possible. W. L. Brooks, as presi- dent of the Commercial club, was asked to appoint a committee of five property owners, which committee was to interview those who owned property abutting the improvements on Third street and see if they would not pay part of their asses- ment at once “instead of extending the payments over a period of five years. It was shown that as the city is limited in the amount that it can spend for paving, the revolving fund can be made to pave the entire town if the assessments are paid up at once. Attention of the owners will be called to the fact that they have to pay six -per cent interest on de- layed “payments. .If half of the money used to pave the- two Third street blocks is paid back to the fund at once, enough will be on hand to pave another block at once. The committee appointed by Mr. Brooks is Walter Markham, C. M. Bacon, Emil Schneider, Fred Brink- man and Earl Geil. Northern National Takes up Bonds. The council passed a final resolu- tion stating that the $15,000 bonds for the permanent improvement fund be delivered to the Northern Na- tional bank. Italso passed another resolution authorizing the sinking fund commissioners-to buy the per- manent improvement bonds from the bank at face value and accrued in. terest. The bank acted as a market for the bonds to assist the city and makes nothing by the transaction. Bids on the $12,000 paving bonds ‘will be advertised for again and opened at the meeting of the coun- cil on August 8. A deal was planned between the Northern and First National banks whereby they would take up $6,000 between them and market the balance. It was found that it would be too_difficult to get rid of the balance, so the entire sum will be re-advertised.’ 4’ A petition was presented by the Soo railrosd last night asking that certain streets iff €arson’s addition to Bemidji be vacated. . The coun- cil ordered the petition filed and that four weeks published notice be given that the matter would come before the council for settle- ment on August 22 and that any who are opposed to the proposed vacation will-have an opportunity to address the council at that time, Irvine Avenue to Be Repaired. Jim Miller, who has the contract for sprinkling the streets, was directed to place clay on Irvine avenue between Sixth and Eighth persons engaged in selling malt, was given its second reading and as all amendments must be passed before the third reading, the ordinance will come up for final consideration at the next council meeting. It is aimed at certain places which have had their licenses revoked, but have kept doing business by selling malt.

Spokane, Wash., July 19.—Her- man Zierenburg, formerly a subject of Kaiser Wilhelm, and Donald Maclean, born in the highlands of Scotland, became involved in an argument about the Spanish language while-drinking Irish and Canadian whiskies in an Italian saloon in Spokane and a fight, with more or less regard for the rules of the American prize ring, followed. They were arrested by a negro policeman, and Judge S. A. Maunin the municipal court fixed the fines as follows in charges of disorderly conduct: Zierenburg, $5 and costs; Maclean, $1 and costs. The keeper of a Chinese noodle cafe paid the fines, and the men were released. Zierenburg said afterward that Maclean was the aggressor. I was telling several of my French acquaintances about my visit in South America,” he continued, ‘“‘and this man ‘butted in,’ saying he could speak the lingo ot the bull-fighters. I asked several quest- ions 1n pure Spanish and he could not answer, Instead he called me vile names. Rather than - have trouble I left the place and hz| followed me-out and mixed it.” Maclea‘nfl said he could not re- but he placed the blame on Zierepn- burg.

Lepine, prefect of police, has issued instructions to the police of France to watch for and arrest upon discovery Dr. Hawley Harvey Crippen, the American who is wanted in London on the charge of having slain his wife, known in the theatrical world as Belle Elmore.. The French search for the fugitive has taken an original turn. The po- lice here believe that Crippen is mas- querading as a woman and the de- scriptions sent out include this prob- able disgulse. . The authorities of Dieppe, Calais, Cherbourg and other coast towns have beon warned especially to be on the alert as it is thought quite likely that it Crippen is not already in this coun- try he will take advantage of the first opportunity to enter a port on the Continent. e Citizens Buy City Bonds.

She had been drinking all morning and was in a poor condition to tell much. At press time, nothing had been done in the case as it was necessary to get County Attorney McKusic to authorize Chief Benmer to get the necessary witnesses from Nymore. Miss Landray says that her par- ents allowed her to come to Bemidji with the McIntyre woman this morning and that they were to re- turn on the 8:25 train. She says that the woman went over to Nymore early in the wmorning and started Brainerd. Mabel McIntyre is said to have been married four times. Her maiden name was Adams. Her hus- band is in the regular army and was recently caught in Brainerd and taken back on a charge of desertion. Since then his wife has lived with different Brainerd people among whom were the Landray family.
