S City Attorney, P. J. Russell. It is splendid advertising for the City. Every citizen to a man are in favor of it. Mayor ‘Willlam McCuaig: 2 To state that the people of Bemidji appreciate the decision of the Normal School Committee would be putting it mildly. Not only in Bemidji will the site be favored but throughout the entire state, as has been shown by the support renered Bemidji. ‘W. L. Brooks: We of Bemidji have always known that our city was the center of Ner- thern Minnesota. The Normal School Committee evidently agrees with us and by their action have helped to convince the stafe at large of this fact. A. P. White: gfe After investigation the Commis- sion saw it’s duty and performed it. C. E. Battles: “I am simply delighted. This is two times I have delighted over this nor- mal school. Five years ago I was a resident of Cass Lake and we held a celebration, but it takes Bemidji to produce the real jubilee spirit. The location of this school here will put stability into every line of busi- ness, and I am one who appreciates fully the fairness of the normal com- mission. H. C. Baer: “It’s the best thing that ever hap- pened to Bemidji. I beleive the com- mission did its full duty as they saw it.” R. H. Schumaker; < - ‘28! ] “Bemidji won because it deserved to win. The commission was fair and we all appreciate it. The men were too big to let politics interfere with their decision.” E. A. Barker: h “Unbiased and unprejudiced is the kind of commission our state officers appointed. They have fully proven this. I am gratified over the outcome.” George T. Baker: “The result of the normal school commission’s decision will mean much to this city. I am satisfied that they rendered a fair arrd impartial decision, Bemidji, to a man should be happy.” ‘W. G. Schroeder: “It’s a great thlng for Bemidji. The best since the coming of the Soo. I am glad and rejoice with every other citizen of this city.” Prof. W. P. Dyer. “I felt all along that the commis- sion was openminded and would re- cognize our superior failroad factili- ties and our advantageous position in the heart of the cut over country Wwith the territory already well de- veloped as a jobbing, industrial and educational center.

BEST TO AVOID LITIGATION Appalling Court Costs in England When It Is Anything Like a “Blg Case.” Charles Reade, in his novel, “Hard Cash,” has one of the characters there- in, Joshua Fullalove, a Yankee, observe that British justice is a prime article, but it comes high. Cecil Chesterton, a newspaper writer, is held to be the responsible person for articles pub- lished in two British papers, wherein he charges_conspiracy and corruption of two high officers of the state for the purpose of benefiting Godfrey Isaacs, who is related to one of them.

The advisability of legislation in New York for the benefit of children of marriages entered into in reliance on divorces which the New York courts will not recognize is indicated In the decision of the court of appeals in Baylis vs. Baylis. The decision shows that leglslation is necessary in order that children of a marriage en- tered into in good faith may be relieved of a slur on their names and a grave disqualification a8 to the rights of property. The court held that the statute providing that where it ap- pears that a marriage was contracted by at least one of the parties in good faith and in the full belief that the for- mer wife or husband was dead, or without any knowledge by the inno- cent party of sald former marriage, the children of the subsequent mar- riage are deemed to be legitimate chil dren of the parent competent to con: tract the marriage, does not include a case in which the innocent party act: ed on the erroneous belief that the other had been legally divorced. Gentle, But Effective. Representative “Bill” Murray of Massachusetts every now and again comes through with a good tale, as witness whereof the following polite way of calling a man a liar: “No, I would not call Mr. Blank a plain and unvarnished lar. I would not call him a prevaricator, nor would I intimate that he was a perverter of the truth, or even inclined to exag- gerate upon circumstances, but if I should see him walking down the street with Annanias upon one arm and Saphira upon the other, I should be inclined to believe that he was in the bosom of his family”—Washington Star. Work of Artistio Paupers. The walls of Mansfleld (Eng.) work- aouse are covered with paintings, the work of casual inmates. A proposal to obliterate the pictures was made by & guardian recently, but was deteated. One of the artistic casuals is a seventy years of age. At one enl of the dining-hall are three large panels {llustrating Biblical subjects, and each occupled & week in painting. Half of another wall is covered with one painting alone.. On other walls are numerous sea views and landscapes, baronial castles, churches, and scrolls. The infirmary walls have been simi larly‘treated, the pictures being coples of English, Welsh, Ecomsh and Irish plcture postcards. Stars Far Hotter Than Sun. The temperature of seventy stars has been "calculated by a German astronomer from comparisons of the differences of fntensity in different portions of the sun’s spectrum. One Btar, Gamma Pegasf, seems to have the inconceivable heat of more than 400,000 degrees C. The next is much cooler, Gamma Casslopefae at 50,000 degrees; but this is vastly hotter than Alpha Tauri, the coolest, at 1,150 degrees. By the same scale of com- putation the temperatum of our sun is found to be 4,950 degrees. The hottest stars ate the helium stars, FROZEN DAINTIES : Made With the Materials of the Highest Quality. .
