Old Settlers Will Gather in
Bemidji for a Good
Time.
GATHERING WILL BE HELD O N
AUGUST 27 AND 28.
Expected That Attendance Will
be Largest in History of
Association.
Next Thnrsday and Friday, the
27th and 28th inst., the old
settlers of Beltrami county -will
meet in the city for a two days'
outing and picnic, and all citizens
of Bemidji are respectfully in
vited to fill their baskets to over
flowing with "goodies" and join
them in the city park at noon on
Friday and enjoy a dinner fit for
the gods. On Thursday evening
there will be speeches delivered
in the park, when Hon. C. L.
Smith will give a talk upon gen
eral farming, addressed especial
ly to the farmers, and which will
be worth coming miles to listen
to. L. G. Pendergast, -who has
been a resident of the state for
47 years, will give a concise his
tory of the development of the
North Star state, and as he is
one of the most fluent speakers
in the entire state, his talk will
certainly be enjoyed by all.
After the picnic Friday noon,
there will be short speeches by
all who wish to be heard, the
whole being in the form of a love
feast. There will be games,
music, dancing, etc., to which all
are invited to take part. The
dancing pavilion, opposite the
Markham hotel, will be 'kept
warm" during the afternoons
and evenings of both days.
Let our people turn out and
entertain their country cousins,
become better acquainted and
have a good time together, as is
their duty.

there he says he doesn't know.
About two weeks ago he left

when his wife received a letter
postmarked at St. Louis. The
letter explained that shortly
after striking Minneapolis he
went on a spree with some
chance acquaintance. He got
gloriously drunk. When he came
to he was in St. Louis, Mo., still
alive but dead breke. Heean-re~
member nothing beyond the fact
that he got drunk Minneap

Tarns Bixby Will Build Fine
Steamer for Lake Be
midji.
That Tarns Bixby will have a
steamboat built this winter to
operate on Lake Bemidji seems
to be a settled fact. The cost of
the affair will be about 3,000 and
it will be modern in equipment
and uesign. John W. Kelsey has
the work of drawing the plans for
the steamer.
The length of the boat when
completed will be 70 feet, with a
14 foot beam. It will be equipped
with a 50 horse water-tube boiler
of latest design, in which steam
can be generated in three
minutes. The boiler is so ar
ranged that explosion is impos
sible.
There will be two engines, ar
ranged with power to drive two
32-inch speed wheels and allow
ing a carrying capacity of 125
passengers. The boat will be
able to attain a speed of from 15
to 18 miles an hour. The inside
finishings of the boat will be of
the finest.
Nothing Like It.
Beaty Bros.' moving picture
show consists of 50,000 of the
latest moving pictures and the
latest illustrated song's sung by
Prof. Hanley, of New York.
This show is not to be classed
with the so-called moving picture
shows of which there are so
many traveling nowadays. It is
an acknowledged fact that the
Beaty Bros have the only six
moving picture machines on
earth with the Diamond Project
ing Lens. Beaty Bros, had these
machines made to order last
January. They have six sprock
ets that do away with all that
quiver. Most of the Beaty Bros.'
pictures are colored and cost 50
cents per foot, while the ordinary
picture costs 10 cents per foot.
Beaty Bros.' come to our city
very highly recommended.

Minnesota & International
Road Files a Big
Trust Deed.
RIXS O MINNESOTA LOA N &
TRUST COMPANY.
Is Said That Property Has Been
Successful from the
Start.
A trust deed from the Minne
sota & International Railway Co.
to the Minnesota Loan & Trust
Co. trustee was filed yesterday
with the secretary of state. The
deed secures $2,000,000 of the
bonds of the Minnesota & Inter
national railway, and is one of
the largest financial deals ever
handled in the northwest.
President E. A. Merrill of the
trust company said to a Minne
apolis reporter yesterday:
"We have always been inter
ested in this railway. It was
Minneapolis enterprise and cap
ital that started this lino, formerly
the Brainerd & Northern. The
late John S. Pillsbury was one
of the original promoters, and
later several leading Minneapolis
lumbermen became interested
Subsequently a controlling inter
est was purchased by our com
pany for the Northern Pacific.
It has been a successful prop
erty from the start and has been
a distinct benefit to Minneapolis.
This railway will make it pos
sible to ship pine logs to Minne
apolis, all rail, long after the
timber on the streams tributary
to the Mississippi has disap
peared. Large quantities of logs
are nowm brought to the Minne
apolis saw mills over this line."
Rev. John Wilmann will preach
in the Lutheran church next
Sunday at 11 o'clock a. m. Rev.
Wilmann is well known here,
having been the first pastor of
the church.

P. H. McGarrv Will Erect Large
and Modern Structure in
Bemidji.
P. H. McGarry, owning hos
pitals at Blackduck, Walker,
Crookston and Farley and owner
of a big hotel at Walker, will
erect a large and thoroughly
modern hotel in Bemidji. The
plans are now being drawn up
and it is said that work on the
structure will be started in the
near future.
Injunction Against Talking.
No one in Omaha has yet been
restrained by injunction from
breathing, but the matter has al
"most reache3 that limit. The
most radical move was the issu
ing of an injunction to restrain a
woman who lived in a flat from
talking so much, as her landlord
claimed it drove his other tenants
away. Possibly we don't talk
too much, butijwe certainly all
are too active and lacking in re
pose. We need, almost without
exception, golden grain belt beer
to quiet our nerves and tone us
down to slower, more comfort
able living. It is pure and de
licious and should be in every
home. Order of your nearest
dealer or be supplied by John
Essler. Bemidji.

Left Town.
Four out of town gamblers
wore before the police this morn
ing. It seems that two of them
had tried to steal a gambling out
fit which was owned in partner
ship by the four. They were al
lowed to take their stuff from
the express office, where it had
been shipped from Grand Porks,
on condition that they leave town
with it. The four came to an
agreement and accepted the con
ditions made bv the officers,
No Exhibit.
Beltrami county will not be
represented at the state fai this
year. It is claimed that this
county was treated so badly at
the fair last year that the farm
ers do not care to bother with an
