WILL REOPEN.

The Merchants Bank will re-
open its doors for business next
Wednesday, July IS. Several
meetings between the bank ohio.
ials and the creditors during the
past week resulted in an agree
ment satisfactory to all concerned.
An examination Of the banks
books showed that its assets far
exceeded It's liabilities, and that
ample security covered all OUT
standing loans.
At a meeting Of deposltors at
the bank building Tuesday after
noon, they signed an agreement
whereby they agreed to accept
certificates Of deposit to the
amount Of their credit, one-haf
to be paid IN 3 months and the
remainder in six months. The
hank is to open with $4,000 Of
ready money on hand.

A GAY TIME.

About twenty Tribes Of the I'M
proved order Of Red Men will be
in Bemldji July u, 81, inclusive.
There will be an excursion here
from all points between West
Superior, Wis, Duluth, Mimi.
and Larimore, n. D., on all roads.
Thousands of people are expected.
Bemidji will maintain her reputa-
ton for hospitality. The citizens
will decorate their residences and
places of business, and the town
will be adorned in her gayest at
tire. Thanks are due TO the city
council for donating the bowery
and city hall for the amusement of
the guests, the Red Men, and
"pale faces" and virtually placing
in their hands the key of our city,
For kindnesses thus bestowed the
local Tribe hereby extends thanks
to the city council. Our people
in general welcome the coming
guests. Let us so treat them that
they will speak kindly of our town

The poles have been ordered and
as soon as they arrive, work will
begin. AS much as possible, the
lines will run in the alleys SO that
the poles will not take up room in
the main thoroughfares.
In the matter ofprices, the COM
.pany will make Bemidji much low
er rates than most other towns are
paying. $3.50 for business houses
and $1.50 for private dwellings
per month will be the local rate,
which is 81 cheaper in each case
than in Crookston.
