Council Decides These Things and Transacts Usual Routine Work. All sidewalks hereafter con structed in the business section of the city must measure twelve feet in width. A resolution to this effect was passed at the council meeting last night. The walks included in the resolution are those along First, Second, Third and Fourth streets, be tween Bemidji and American av enues, and along the avenues be tween Bemidji and American, in clusive. Walks on the residence streets will measure six feet in width. The subject of the license of the medicine men now transact ing business in the city and run ning an open air show, was brot' up and it was decided that the present license of $2 a day was too small. I was resolved to raise the fee to $r a day. This can be done and made to go into effect today, for the license is taken for only one day at a time. Yesterday's license will expire at 2 o'clock today. Later the matter of contribut ing to the support of the fife and dr um corps was brought up. The boys need 00 additional ior the purchase of uniforms and the city was asked to make up the required sum. It was voted to take the license money here after paid into the city treasury by the medicine people and de vote it to the use of the fife and dr um corps. It is expected that the show will leave town next Saturday night, which will leave 25 for the boys. I addition to this the G. A. E. has guaranteed them $25 for their services dur ing the encampment. This will make the purchase of the uni forms possible. The usual routine business was transacted.

Steps arc to bo taken to clear away the moss which has col lected in the water (dose to the lake shore, from the city dock up past the hospital. The moss has gathered so thick there within the past few weeks that it is dif ficult to push a boat through it. The subject was brought up at the council meeting last night and the matter was referred to the proper committee for inves tigation. It was practically de cided that teams and men should be employed to rake out the moss and cart it away. The expense of this work would amount to about i-100, The Ball Benefit.

The sum of $96.90 was found on his person, also a vouchor for 36 due him from the government as a pension and warrantey deeds for two lots which he owned in town. An old check* bonk' on an eastern bank' was found, but whether Huntnow has any money wm deposit there or not is not known.
