The scene is intensified when Father Ignatius, while being entombed in a vault prays for de- liverance, and during the prayer a picture of Christ, that hangs in the 1va.ult, suddenly comes to life and Christ steps forth, leads the monk to safely and assists in driving the In- dians away. It is necessary to see this picture to get the full value of most amusing of all Shakespeare’s comedies. The manager of the pop- ular “Photoplay” house feels satis- fied in saying that the program to- night and tomorrow night will please all those who are fortunate emough to see these pictures.

(By P. A. Wilson) | Bemidji Pioneer Legisiative Bureau | St. Paul, Feb. 6.—There is a pos- | sibility that the effort of Mayor { Haynes of Minneapolis to extend the ~ {salon closing 1imTt in cities from 11 {p. m. until midnight will be the ‘means of closing all saloons in the 1stnte at 8 o’clock in the evening. | Tuere is a bill in the house, intro- duced by J. N. Johnson of Canby, | which forbids the sale of intoxiea- | ting liquors ofter 8 p. m. There has | been such a show of support behind the measure that petitions are being circulated in different parts of the state by friends of the liquor deal- ers, urging opposition to the bill. While the present legislature is not expected to favor liquor regu- lation to the extent of passing a | county option bill, it comes danger- ‘ously close to being in a mood to pull off just such a trick and as a result such a bill as the Johnson measure | may have more of a chance of getting |through than ordinarily would be the case. In any event persons who oppose such & bill had better get busy for those who favor are M in- lng up strong. x X X The house is in session this after- | moon for the introduction of bills {and such other routine work as may come before it. The senate meets | this evening at 8 o’clock, but it is | doubtful if a quorum wil be present. .Tomorrnw afternoon the house will :consxder the county option bill that | measure having been made a special | order for 2 o'clock. Lewis C. Spoon- ler of Morris 'and Representative | Burnquist of St. Paul will make the principal speeches in favor of the | measure while Representative Pfaen- der of New Ulm will be the noisy |orator opposing it. | * x % | The following two items are taken from the political column of Satur- | grand jury. iday‘s St. Paul Dispatch: ¢“If the | senate be left to its own sweet de- sires, a reapportionment will have some trouble crowding through. But will it be? The astute ones are beginning to whisper No! In fact there is in the house, and the house will stand up and yell if the senate refuses to come in and be good. Re- | apportionment of some sort is bound |to be turned out by the house. That’s a moral certainty. Whatever the senate has to ask of the house will have to be asked with the under- standing that the ome big request to be made by the house wil be re- Laportionment. “If Senator Saugstad be seated the sticker will do a flourishing busi- ness next election. Already some of the wise ones have planned ways of using it to the regret of their op- ponents, and they will not hesitate to put it into use if the senate up- it.

As 2 member said yesterday: “‘If this goes on, the only remedy will be to install voting machines throughout the state.’”” Doings of Municipal Court. Lillie Gangon and Annie McNeal were arraigned before Judge Pen- dergast this morning in the munici- pal court of charges of vagrancy. Both women plead guilty and were each fined $5 and costs or a total of $8. C. J. Swanson plead guilty to a charge of being drunk and was fined $8.
