M. Ferguson, J. M. Stevens and W. S. | Lycan of Crookston and F. S. Lycan of this city. The party returned to Bemidji today after having completed their hunt in the vicinity of Island Lake, twenty miles north of here. The bear was killed by Fergu- son. The doe weight 250 pounds dressed and is especially prized because few female deer have been shot this year. THANKSGIVING AND WHY WE ARE THANKFUL Thanksgiving day is the day when everyone says he is thankful and wants to eat turkey to prove it. If we had nothing else to be thankful for we would be thankful that we are not a turkey. Thanksgiving day was first ob- served by the Pilgrims, who were thankful that they had five grains of corn apiece. In these extravagant times 2 man wouldn’t be thankful if he had ten grains of corn, which shows conclusively that we are too prosperous. The trusts are doing a noble work in femedying this evil condition. People have various unreason- able reasons for being thankful on Thanksgiving day. Some -men are thankful that they took a wife, and some are thankful that they didn’t take two. «‘Bachelor Maids” are thankful that they are ¢horrid bachelors,” and a married woman is always thankful that her husband has a good wife. It is easy to be thankful if you go about it right. And so we could go on by the column telling about different things to be thankful for but we are not. going to. We bave many things ourselves, but the one that comes upermost in our mind at this Thanks- diving Day is the fact that we are about to move into the handsomest and most up-to-date drug store in the “North Country.” We are thank- ful that we will be able to serve the public to better advantage, and we are proud of the beauty of THE NEW CITY DRUG STORE. Very truly yours, to 2:30 o’clock. E. N. FRENCH & CO. The Rex Thangsgiving Menu.

HIGH SCHOOL GIRLS FED 28; SHOW SEWING “"Mothers’ Day,” observed in the public schools of Bemidji for the first time yesterday, caused twenty- eight women to vigit the High School, where they saw theirdaught- ers sew and cook and were rewarded for their interest with a plate of tomato soup and baked wafers, The soup was prepared and the wafers baked under the eyes of the visitors and from the interest dis- played it was apparent that some of the good housewives were learning something from their daughters about the best way to cook. The idea of a ‘“Mothers’ Day” was that of W. P. Dyer, and he is so well pleased with the results of the first experiment that he authorizes the announcement that others are to follow. s " Following the cooking demonstra- tion, the visitors. were shown what their daughters could do with the needle and this was even more of a surprise than the food display. The sewing classes displayed a wonderful collection of things the reporter is unable to describe except to say that they were splendid creat. ions of lingerie. After'a critical inspection of these garments, which drew many words of praise for the neatness of the young seamstresses, the visitiors spread io the different rooms and listened to the usual classes. The soup and wafers were serv- ed by the pupils of the cooking class, who were attired in new and immaculate white caps and aprons, The pupils washed the dishes and gave other demon- strations of-the neat®'ss and sani- tary conditions = with which their cooking preparations are carried on.

Manager Brinkman has outdone himself in the securing of the great Orpheum act which will open at the Family Theatre Thanksgiving night. This act is on the Orpheum time and has been engaged at a great ex- pense by the local playhouse. *“The Artist and the Model,” pre- sented by Albert Gray and Company is known as the great Orpheum fea- ture attraction. Nothing like it nor to compare with it has ever. been seen here before. This company carries 1100 pounds of special scenery and their own electrician. Representative press notices and letters from house managers are similar to the following from the Capitol and News, Boise, Idaho: “‘One act alone in this week’s bill suffices to make the show far above the average. ‘The Artist and the Model’ from an artistic standpoint is for the best vaudeville act that has ever appeared here. It is an art of musicand living pictures, but the latter are of the unusual type. ‘The Model,’ Miss Josephine Collins, is beauti ul in face and figure, and there is real art in the pictures in which she appears. «Mr, Gray is a ‘soloist of more than ordinary fame and possesses a beautiful baritone voice, The electrical effects are elaborate, Mr. Gray carrying his own electri- cian and complete equipment. The scenery is new and shows careful study in preparation.” It is not alone a credit to Manager Brinkman but a credit to Bemidji in being ablz to secure such high class performers. *“The Toy Sisters,” a strong sing- ing and dancing act is part of the bill at the Brinkman tomorrow night. Itisa strong actand both are artists in *this particular ‘line.

ROOSEVELT “DEAD” IN EAST, SAYS A.P. WHITE Whatever the west may think of him, the east believes Theodore Roosevelt is a “‘dead one,” accord- ing to the impressions gained by A. P. White, president of the Northern National .Bank of this city, who has returned from a quick trip of 3,500 miles in twelve days, which carried him through Maire and other eastern states.

At 4 o’clock this afternoon be- tween seven and eight carloads og liquor, the town’s entire supply, had been placed on the depot platform ready for shipment. The agents who assisted in closing the saloons were Brents, Sero, Way and Kalberg. They came in a body from Bemidji: Special Agent Brents announced that the government had informa- tion that the Sutor saloon had re- ceived five barrels of whisky ina car load of oats. - Mr. Sutor denied this and said he had received no liquor since the recent order went into effect. To prove this he took Agent Brents to the depot to see the shipping bills, In the meantime Deputy Special Agent Way got busy with an axe and broke open barrels of whiskey. When Brents again arrived on the scene he ordered the work of de- struction to cease, being convinced that Sutor had received no supplies recently.
