The past winter has been tho dullest that northern Minnesota has known since the panic of tho early nineties. Just what has caused this flattening out of business is hard to say, but it is a fact that every town in north era Minnesota knows too well. Presidential election year is al ways a poor year for business and the whole country has suf fered from this cause. Still it seems strange that there should be so much of a falling off in busi ness while at the same time prices have not declined. In fact they_ have advanced. It certainly costs as much to live in Minne sota this year as last year whilo we know that numerous neces saries and most luxuries have ad vanced appreciably. Business is better now than it has been at any time during the winter and there are indicatiens that it will continue to improve and tha northern Minnesota will experi ence a good summer, although until the national election is over we may hardly hope for the busy times of a year ago. I BITS I FROM [THE NORTHi COUNTR 1 Mentor is big with mystery over a hugh blood spot on th snow near town. Fergus Falls has the habit and just can't help wrangling over the Carnegie library site. "Carrie Nation" was hunched out of town at Blackduck tin other day. Carrie was altogther too black a duck. The north country press is al ways in season and the story oi how Noah advertised tho ilood is once more on duty. The Todd County Argus prints a story about "Football" May nard. Mr. Maynard should ob ject to being made a football of like that. For advertisements there is the Hubbard Couuty Enterprise with 25 columns per week. Must be something doing al Park Rapids. The Shevhn Advocate admits that some good may come out of the trusts. This is a fearful fall ing away from grace for our populist friend. Wheelockweekly..beginsto "licker up". Deer Creek selects it as its official paper and the publication of numerous liquer licenses is now under way. TheCrookston Jou rnal con tinues to whale away about the badness of Bemidji. Now and then, too, it inadvertently prints a story that shows that there are some unlovely things down under the white ash at Crookston. Easter Opening. -Don'tforget Monday and" Tuesday, March 28 and 29, are days to be remembered. Wait for them and you will see at Miss Hetland's the swellest line of hats ever brought to Bemidji.

Come and see. AMUSEMENTS "Brown's in Town." "Brown's in Town" the latest farcical effusion which comes to the City Opera house Tuesday night is described by the mana ger as a balm for jaded nerves. Its humorous complications arc highly effective the dialogue is sparkling, witty, and the story is an entirely new one. The farce is free from marital infelic ities or innuendo of immorality and the time-worn, bald headed benedict who flirts with a music hall singer is also eliminated. The conventional old maid and lheJ.ussy_ mother-inJaw are_dis^ pensed with as well as the hon eyed German, Irish or French maid. "Brown" has a maid but she is a novel one one you can see every day. CHURCHES At the Presbyterian charch Sunday, Rev. J. F. McCloud will take for "irismorning subject "The time is not come", evening "The man under a tree". Every body welcome.
