LOW SHOWS KEPT OUT.
Any gathering similar to the
Park Region G. A. R. encamp
ment now being held in Bemidji
draws great crowds of visitors to
a town. Where there are crowds
out for a good time there is sure
to be considerable money spent,
and as a rule there are plenty of
places especially provided for
those who are willing to part
with their cash. These money
getters range all the way from
the inoffensive peanut and pop
corn stand to the low variety
show.
Shows which exhibit in a town
while conventions, encampments,
etc., are in progress pay better
than the other temporary money
makers, therefore there are alwho
ways a large number of managers
of tent exhibitions ready and
anxious to pitch their outfits
where there is something going
on. They are willing to pay a li
cense. The lower the moral
tone of one of these shows the
bigger crowd it draws. This
may be a shocking fact to some,
"but it is true nevertheless. Be
cause they draw ri bigger crowd
they are willing to pay a bigger
license. In the smaller towns
the temptations to admit them
within the limits and give them a
license to carry on operations is
a strong one, often too strong
for those having the encamp
ment, convention or whatever it
may be. in charge, to resist.
None of this class of shows
could obtain permission to ex
hibit in Bemidji during the enobedience
campment. Commander Bailey
and his followers, with the coun
cilmen, let it be known at the
start that nothing but entertain
ment of a clean nature, such as
any lady might enjoy, would be
permitted in town encampment
week, and they have strictly lived
up to their first statement rela
tive to the matter, although ap
plications for licenses for shows
of a questionable nature have
been made.
This is a very good thing for
Bemidji. It will give our guests
a much better impression of the
town to carry away with them.
More money could have been
made the other way but the re
sulting evil would have more than
outbalanced any cash benefit
which could have been derived.
NEWS IN BRIEF.
Overflow From the Wires in a Con
densed Form.
Harry H. Bishop, thirteen years old,
died at Ithaca. N. Y., of lockjaw, the
result of a slight injury on the Fourth.
Gen. John Q. Lane of Philadelphia
Is dead. Gen. Lane fought throughout
the Civil war at the head of an Ohio
regiment.
The United States consul at Port
Anthony, Jamaica, has cabled the
state department that the quarantine
at that place has been discontinued.
Joseph Seebruch, twelve years old,
Is dead at Milwaukee of lockjaw, the
result of a toy pistol wound in the
Jeg, received while celebrating the

Mrs. James Alton broke down the

The Exchange Bank of Caro, Mich.,

wealthiest man in that district.
Thomas Chalmers, one of the found-
erB of the firm of Frazer & Chalmers,

Mr. Chalmers was taken ill with bron
chitis last December and the infirm
ities of age, aggravated by this attack,
caused his death.

neers to California in 1849. Early in
the fifties he settled in Chicago, mar
rying the daughter of John Thompson,

Lignite as Smokeless Fuel,
Thousands of square miles of lignite
underlie the Dakotas and Montana,
v^hile another belt extends from Flori
da to Texas. Briquettes for fuel are
to be made from it. The manufacture
of briquettes may solve the problem
.of sniokO'CiS fi:ei for cii:.
HC DID NOT DRINK.
And Consequently Did Not Need First
Floor Rooms.
American pushfulness is an unlim
ited quantity. The women are as ir
repressible in society as the men ir
commerce. A ^rtain visitor to th
Riviera found tnis out recently. He
was occupying first floor rooms at a
well-known hotel. An of a sudden,
without any introduction or prelim
inary, a note was brought to him
signed by the wife of a well-known
American millionaire. It asked him
whetuer he wo^ object to giving up
his rooms to her niece. He was much
amazed, but wrote back inquiring
whether the niece drank. Mrs.
wrote in reply, in surprise and indig
nation, winding up with an emphatic
statement that her niece did not
drink. Lord concluded with
the following note: "Lord re
grets that ho cannot give up his flrst
floor rooms to Mrs. 's niece,
for he is convinced that, as the young
lady does not drink, it is very much
easier-for her to get up stairs than it
is for Lord ."London Tat

A NEW BOILED DINNER
Little One's Astonishment Natural Un
der the Circumstances.
"I have a little niece," said the ra
conteur of the Sewing Circle, "who
is never so happy as when she is al
lowed to visit the kitchen and watch
the servants at work. Fortunately,
her mother has good-natured servants
r.*.the enjoy having the child
around, so many are the charmed
hours which Jessie spends downstairs
making little pies under the cook's
superintendence, and pretending she
is "grown up.'
"The other day she descended to the
laundry to oversee the family wash in
her busy little way. She' gave one
look of utter astonishment as Mary
put on the clothes to boll, and then
fairly flew upstairs to her mother, ex
claiming:
'"Oh, mamma! What do you think?

Cheerfulness Counts.
The Cosmopolitan says the longevity
of the medical man is materially less
than that of workers of other profes
sions. Only those with a sound
physique, other things being equal,
can win in a struggle for success. The
sick look with confidence to the well.
Tuey demand the hearty dogmatism
that con.eB from the overflowing of
animal spirits. They enjoy the cheer
ful optimism that comes from a good
digestion. They lean upon the doc
tor in their weakness and yield willing
to his kindly influence.
Much of the power possessed for good
may be out3ide of pills or potions, cor
rect theories or sound deductions.
American Medicine.
Bait!
A class In a Sunday school was list
ening to a lesson on patience. The
topic had been carefully explained, and
as an aid to understanding the "teach
er had given each pupil a card bearing
the picture of a boy fishing. "Even
pleasure," said she, "requires the exer
cise of patience. Look at the boy fish
ing! He must sit and wait and wait
He must be patient." Having treated
the subject very fully, she began with
the simplest, most practical question:
"And now caa any .'ittie boy tell me
what we need most when we go fish-
ing?" With one voice wasvthe answer
shouted"bait!"
Evicted Kaffirs.
The correspondent of a London pa
per, writing from British South Afri
ca, says the Kaffirs are bound to in
crease in population more rapidly
than the whites, whom they already
greatly outnumber, and, being barred
from work in many cases by the im
portation of cheap labor from India
and forced to leave their land hold
ings, which they retain only under
lease from the Boers, to whom It has
been allotted, and under liability of
evict'on, a serious uprising of the na
tives Is not beyond the possibilities o/
the near future.
The Art of the Palmist.
The girl who was the picture of
health came out of the palmist's
booth with a startled expression on
her face. "Do you know," she said
to a bevy of girl friends"do you
know, that nalmist told me I was In
perfect health. Now. you know, I'm
never 111 but how could he tell that
from looking at my hand?" And her
friend? murmured, ''How wonderful!"
Spread of Irrigation Work*.
The government is to begin the con
struction of irrigation works In five
localities. The Sweetwater dam, Wy
oming Mill river, Montana the Gun
nison tunnel, Colorado Trucbee, Nev..
and Salt river, Arizona. The "cost of
the five plants is estimated at $7,000.-
000 and they are expected to furnish
water for 60,000 acres.
Two Master*.
In the primary class of a certain
Sunday school the lesson was being
reviewed by a visitor. When she
finally asked for the Golden Text, a
little boy on the back row eagerly
raised his hand and proudly repeated:
"We cannot serve God and women."
Little Chronicle.
Monster Cake a Feature.
At the ninety-ninth birthday cele
bration of the Bible Society at the
Guildhall, London, a few days ago
the cake weighed ninety-nine pounds.
The rake is an institution among the
juvenile collectors, and a pound is
added to its weight every year.
