MATTSON HAS NEW FISH LAW | | Bill to Appropriate $600,000 to Uni- versity for Building Purposes Passes House. | (By ¥. A. Wilson) 1’ | Bemidji Pioneer Legislative Buresu| St: Paul, January 25.—Of direcl‘ | interest to Bemidji is the effort m:yw‘J on by Donald Robertson of Argyle: to provide »$2,500 a year for nlli high schools maintaining courses in | | agriculture, manual training, | domestic science and business or a | commercial course. Representative Robertson has | just placed this measure before the | House and it has been referred to| | the committee on education. The bill provides that any school ! district, not receiving such aid un- ! der some other law, the amount above specified from the state when all four subjects are taught. When one or more sub- ject is taught, the school is to re- |ceive $650 for each department. To aid a school ! make application to the state super- secure must intendent of public instruction and furnish to him all information as to finances, number of teachers and ‘the amount paid each. The superin- |fendent will then designate an in- { spector Wno-shall Teport 10 the state !high school board which board %shall consider the application at the | earliest moment. | Such schools would be compelled {to conform to the rules laid down iby the state high schol board under | the direction of which the aid would | be supplied. | xx Representative Mattson seeks to amend the fishing law so as to | make it unlawfull to have in one’s | possession white fish weighing less | than 2 1-2 pounds when caught or %2 pounds when dresed.

Representative Robinson of St. Charles, Winona, made a spec- tacle of himself by opposing the bill. Incidently, this makes three spec- tacles to Mr. R’s credit, or discredit. L. C.

J.-Miller Company Settles Fire Loss In Less Than Two Weeks. Two weeks ago today the upper story of the buildlog owned by the O’Leary-Bowser company, of this city, located on third street next to the Majestic theatre, was partly | destroyed by fire. The building was insured with the T. J. Miller real estate and insurance company, of this city, and the loss was payed to the O’Leary-Bowser company yesterday afternoon, there- by settling the matter in less than two weeks after the fire took place. Her Artistic Instinct. The girl was a dainty thing in pink, evidently a stranger in Boston. The fellow had Harvard written all over bim. They were standing in the de- livery room of the public library, and he was explaining to her the deco- rations by Edwin Abbey which illus- trate the legend of the Holy Grall at his fair listener and seemed pleased to tind her apparently lost in rapture. Finally, when his stock of knowledge ‘was exhausted, he exclaimed: “Why, I never before knew that you ‘were so interested in art!” For a moment longer she continued to gaze at the painting; then, with a tremulous sigh, she turned to him with: “I have been wondering how many pleces it would make if cut up into one of those picture puzzles."—Har- per’s Magazine. ! Old Age of Oysters. Oysters grow only during summer, and especially during long, warm sum- mers at that, and are scarcely big enough for the mouth before the third year. It is easy after looking over a bunch of shells to tell how old an oyster is. A summer hump and the winter sink -come across the shell every year, but after the seventh or tenth year full growth comes; then by looking at the sinks between the humps it is hard to tell anything more about Miss Oyster's age. Oysters easi- ly live to be twenty years old.—New York Press. | A New One on Him. It was after the stone laying cere- mony, and a wire was sent to the | bullder with the news, “Stone laid | with great eclat.” The builder, smoth- ering an awful oath, muttered, “An- other new foreign cement!” and flung the missive from him in pagsionate disgust.—London Globe.

The tour party consists of W. A. Missions . of the International” Sun- day School Association, and Hugh Cork. of Chicago. Mr. Brown spent |quite a number of years in the Phillipine islands. He is one of the best informed men on Missions we have ever heard. He is a platform man of rare ability. He is a whirl- wind of enthusiasm. Anyone who hears Mr. Brown and does not get enthusiastic on Sunday School work, | especially along the line of Missions, 1s certainly beyond redemption. We want every pastor, Sunday school superinterident and officer to hear Brown. Mr. Cork, is assistant general secretary of the International Suan- day School Association. Mr. Cork has been general secretary of Minne- sota and Pennsylvania and city Superintendent of Philadelphia. He is a specialist on House to House Visitation and has written all the leaflets for the International Sunday School Association on this subject. His knowledge of World-Wide Sun- day School work is second to none in the world today. He gathered the Sunday School statistics of the world last year for the World Sun- day school Convention. His ad- dress on “World-Wide Sunday School Work,” should be heard by every Sunday school worker in Min- nesota. A. M. Locker, General Secretary, and Paul S. Dietrick, Field Worker of the Minnesota Sunday School Association, may also be here. Be sure to come the first day and istay through to the last as there will be something good every minute of the time. Bemidji will entertain, free of charge, all who come. | Kingsley’s Stammering. Charles Kingsley loved talking, had an enormous deal to say on every con- ceivable subject and longed to say it But his stammer was always checking | him. He gurgled and gasped and made faces and, would sometimes break off in a conversation or a meal, rush out into the open air and liber- ate his suppressed emotions by rapid exercise or physical exertion. Yet, as has often been observed in similar cases, when he had to preach the stammer subsided, and, though there | was” some facial contortion, the flow | of the discourse was never interrupt- jed. He said to his friend Tom | Hughes: “I could be as great a talker as any man in England but for my stammering. When I am speaking for | God in the pulpit or paying by bed- gides I never stammer. My stammer is a blessed thing for me. It keeps me from talking in company and from going out-as much as I should do but. for it"—G. W. E.

All mem- bers of the band are urged to be present at this practice. \BEAR CAUSES EXGITEMENT Animal Appearing at Brinkman is Seen on Streets. When a real live bear was seen on the streets of Bemidji.this afternoon a great deal of scare and excitement was caused among the women and children of the city, but upon dis- covering that it was only a trained animal they at once took interest in it b Thbe bear is appearing at the Brinkman theatre this week and the chief part of his act is to wrestle, a reward of $50 being offered to any man who can throw him. At last |evening’s show Ed Davis, a tele- phone lineman. attempted to throw the bear, he succeded in putting him (the bear) on his back but was un- able to hold him the required time to win the money. Collar as a Verb. The verb “collar” has long been used transitively, meaning to “seize or take hold of a person by the collar; more loosely, to capture.” The verb was thus employed early in the seventeenth century. Steele in the Guardian, No. 84, wrote, “If you advised him not to collar any man.” Other instances are Gentleman’s Magazine, 1762, “His lord- ship collared the footman who threw it,” and Marryat'’s sentence in “Peter Simple,” “He was collared by two French soldiers.” A Tenant For Life. “Have you boarded long at this house?’ inquired the new boarder of the sour, dejecteds man sitting next to him, “About ten years.” “I don't see how you can stand it. | Why haven’t you left long ago?” “No other place to go,” said the other dismally. “The landlady’s my wife.” The Family Scrap Book. Mrs. Sauers (to Willy as minister calls to see Mr. Sauers)—Willy, is your father In? Willy—Yes; he’s upstairs locking over your scrap book: Mrs. Sauers- (puzzled)—You mean my family account book?

The appeal from Judge Willard’s decision will be taken because of the insistence of the Anti-salcon league and other prohibition people that the case should be taken to the highest court for a final verdict. These people have argued that there is but one way of settling the ques- tion for all time and that is by get- |ting a decision from the supreme court, and the administration has found it difficult to answer that question. Both the department of justice and the department of interior, through the office of commissioner of Indian affairs, will recommend an appeal be taken, it is said. Pending the appeal, as has been stated in these dispatches, Judge Willard’s decision will stand as the law so far as Minnesota is concerned and the state will have to regulate the Jiquor traffic in the territory affected in the Bemidji case. T0 HOLD SPEGIAL MEETING Commercial Club Will Discuss Matter of New Headquarters Monday. President A. G. Wedge, Jr., of the Bemidji Commercial club, has an- nounced that there will be a special meeting of the members of the club at their rooms in the O’Leary-Bowser bui.ding on next Monday evening. The most important matter which will be discussed will be that of ob- taining new and larger quarters for the housing of the commercial club. The commercial club building committee, consisting of E. H. Denu (chairman), A. A. Melges, Dr. E. H. Marcum, R. L. Given and M. E. Smith, have recommended a proposi- tion to the club for the new quarters and the question will be decided at the Monday meeting. It is urged that as many members as possible attend this meeting.
