The picture shows the ruins of the Hurst’s Park Racecourse after a fire started by the Pankhurst followers. The American women have campaigned in a - business-like manner and they have made advances far more rapidly than their English “Sis- tern,” and they are steadily gaining in power. In fact, not long since, they had a California Judge ousted because he did not decide a white slave case in accordance with their way of thinking. It would appear that the English Militant methods instead of . getting “Votes for Women” are resulting in “Jail for Women.” -————% 7:30 p. m.

Belmont of Chi- cago arrived in Bemidji this morning and have 'commenced preparations for the balloon ascension July Fourth. The event promises to be one of the most thrilling on the pro- gram as the young lady ascends sev- eral thousand feet into the air be- fore making the parachute . leap, Which descends 500 feet before open- Ing. Miss Belmont has been in the business five years having first start- ed st the age of :17 years. She Is of siight build and dark complexion and ‘from appearances well capable of handling:the big gas bag. In speaking of her experiences this morning Miss Belmont stated that the sensation of the ascension was pMactically the same as the para- floor has been laid on the corner of Third and Bemidji avenue and car- penters are now at work placing a light roof over the structure which will be used for a bowery dance during the.Fourth and Fifth. Dream- land has been put into good shape and the Firemen have used some skill in preparing the city hall for thair dances. Excursion boats will- make trips around the lake every hour at reas- onable prices and a great many more attractions have been planned to entertain the visitors.

At the council meeting Monday night a pro- posed railing around the fire dock was discussed, but upon inquiry they were notified that it would be im- possible to build the rail before the Fourth which was the time most needed. As several hundred people will crowd the dock during the water sports there is danger of many be- ing shoved into the lake as the edge is abrupt with nothing to prevent a person being-shoved off.

Before and after the ascension, crowds of eager questioners gathér about her asking questions such as “Are’ you afraid?” “Do you feel nervous?” “‘How did you ever get started in this business?” ' “Were you ever serious- ly injured?” and many more similar queries . Instead of wearing the sensational|s tights usually worn by aeronauts Miss Belmont clads herself in heavy underwear, bloomers, sweater and skirt and says she can guide the par- achute to a certain extent in these garments as well as in. the plain tights. They are also a protection in case of alighting among brush and trees. Mississippi Bridge Repaired.

Kelly of Menahga Consid- ers It Move to Put Eberhart “In Bad” With Towns. BEMIDJI DOUBTS _POSSIBILITY Considers Men on Board to Be Be- yond Such Conspiring Motives. Inspired with enthusiasm and. With no other motive than a sense of fairness to the cities of Bemidjf, Park Raplds, Cass Lake, Fmton, Grand Rnplds and_ ull Other townl Which aré seeking to-secure the Sixth” Normal school, Editor Charles T. Kel- ly of Menahga, publisher of the Menahga Journal comes out with a statement to the effect that the loca- tion of the normal school is a ‘“cut and dried” proposition for Thief Riv- er Falls. | In spite of the evidence ndvnnced by Brother Kelly and in spite of his plea for fairness, Bemidji is inclined to doubt his story, for the reason that it regards with highest esteem, both from a personal and profession- al viewpoint the caliber of the men who are to make the selection of the site. The following is Mr. Kelley’s story: 2 “If, as now seems almost certain, a majority of the commission ap- pointed to select a site for the new normal school to be located in north- ern Minnesota, will favor Thief River Falls, it will not only be a case of the Burnquist-Rines machine rewarding one of their faithful, regardless of the wishes and best interests of our northland, but at the same time an endeavor to put the governor “in bad” with the several competing towns, by using one of his official family to “turn the trick.” At this Juncture, let us state that when Gov- ernor: Eberhart suggested to Lieut. Gov. Burnquist that he (the govern- or) would like to meet with Speaker Rines and the lieutenant governor to agree on the selection of the five :members of the commission the gov- ernor . was . coolly informed = that Speaker Rines and he (Burnquist) had already met and selected three members, namely, Senator Sageng, the lone Populist; ' Superintendent Schultz, a holdover appointee, and " Representative W. W. Brown, & wheel-horse of the Rines organiza- tion. “So it was left to the governor to select’ the other two members, who are J. A. Ferguson of Duluth, and S. B. Wilson of Mankato, ~which ap- pointments; in our. estimation were absolutely superfluous, as, regardless _ of ‘which site or sites these two may agree upon, aside from T.
