*w Village Order Case. Next Saturday is the date set for the taking of testimony be fore Clerk of Court Speelman in the village orders case. It will be remembered that certain citi zens, headed by W. Schroeder, protested against the payment of various village orders, claiming they were illegal. An injunction against their payment,until their legality could be passed upon, was served upon the village treasurer. It was set aside by Jude McClenahan. An appeal was taken, and last week the Su preme court affirmed the decis ion of the judge. Last week's News claimed that this decision of the Supreme court was a defeat to the Schroe der crowd, but Attorney Craw ford still smiles. In fact, the plaintiffs seem to have things as they want them. They have kept the orders tied up all summer by the injunction methods, and it is hardly probable that a treas urer would pay the orders at this time, so close upon the date set for its hearing. Upon this pre sumption, the plaintiffs did not appear before the supremecourt. FCCORSETS Make American Beauties.

More than two years ago, when Bemidji was as yet but a mere village in the forest, and before the railroad had pene trated to Lake Bemidji, the Rev. Robert Forbes, D. D., presiding elder of the M. E. church, visited this town. Preaching to a public gathering of the villagers he laid the first foundations of the pres ent Methodist cause. The Rev. G. P. Watson shortly after this took hold of the work here, and commenced the pres ent structure. By tireless ener gy and an undaunted courage he held the Methodist people to the idea'of a first class modern church edifice. To this end a solid foundation of the designed plan was laid on lots at the cor ner of Beltrami avenue and Ninth street, donated by the townsite company, through the kindness of W. F. Street. A lecture room was started and partially com pleted, and the skeleton of the main auditorium was set up in rough lumber last fall. Early in WINSOK WAVELETS.

Wm. Bruckman made a trip to Red Lake Agency Sunday to sell farm products and returned on Wednesday. Hans Hanson made a trip to Gully, our sister town, last Mon day. Gully now boasts of a news paper, the Sunbeam, which is already doing a very good busi ness judging from the "proving up" advertisements in it col* nmna. Clifford Phibbs returned from Dakota Oct. 10. He reports plenty of work in Dakota and good wages. Since his return the prairie chickens have become wilder. Alex Hanson returned from Da kota Wednesday. He has been railroadiug out there, which pays better this year than working in the wheat fields. Threshing is going merrily on, and the golden grain is being piled in the granaries^ preparatory to being hauled to market. Crops in this section are very good this year. Miss Mabel Bakken is teaching school in District No. 55, Town of Pine Lake. Christian Jacobson is building a good sized frame residence to replace the former one, which has become too small for his use, now that prosperity has struck the meadows. The suit of the Hanuers of the meadows against the Clearwater Logging Co. for damages done by the flood caused by driving was amicably settled, the farmers re ceiving $100 each and the com pany furnishing $1,000 with which to build a dyke to keep the water back. Work on the dyke has already been started. Opening and Dedication of M. E. Church. REV. ROBERT FORBES, D. D. the spring of this year the ap pointment of Rev. Watson to U. S. land commissionership left the work at a standstill. About May 1st Rev. G. F. S winnerton was appointed to the field and the work of completing the new edifice has been pushed forward till now everything is in readi ness to open next Sunday, Oct. 27th. Accordingly Rev. Robert Forbes, D.D., assisted by Rev. L. Dodds, D. D., presiding elder, will be present to open and dedi cate the new building. Services 11a. m. and 7:30 p. m. On Monday evening at 6 o'clock a hot supper will be served by the ladies of the church in the lec ture room. Afterwards a plat form meeting will be held in the auditorium, to be addressed by the Reverends Dr. Forbes, Dr. Dodds, M. L. Hutton of Brainerd, G. F. Swihnerton, the pastor, and the city ministers. Special music has been arranged for, un der the direction of Mrs. A. War field. The state having appropriated a certain sum of money for the opening up of Lost river, work will accordingly commence for the said "opening up" about Nov. 1. 'The contract has been taken by Eric Eklund of Gully. The river loses itself, or rather runs under the ground for about three and one-half miles, thus causing the surrounding country to be flooded when the spring freshets appear, causing great damage to crops. The "opening up" of this river will be a great benefit to the a farmers. The mystery connected with this river will be cleared up and Lost river will be found. BEAK"CKEEK.
