The Rummsge Sale.

A. was predicted in this paper, the
"rummage sale" was the sensation
in the history of our little city, and
the sum realized was beyond the most
sanguine expectations of those who
have it in charge.
The assortment of articles was large,
miscellaneous and heterogeneous and
made a very imposing appearance.
Real skill was displayed in the ar
rangement of the things.
a number of the young ladies of the
city volunteered their services as
clerks, and made most excellent sales
ladies.
Mr.. George Robinson, Mr.. Z. c.
Chsmblis and Mr.. L. R. Chazal served
all day, and Mr.. {. Fl. Lloyd acted as
cashier.
When the doors closed for dinner
the sum of $50 had been realized, and
at nightfall the 800 mark was reached,
Some of the articles left over were
auctioned after supper and run the
sales up to Sll5. The collection will
be added to and the sale continued
next SATURDAY..

follows: "Our two children had 4
severe attack of whooping cough, one
of them in the psroxysms of coughing
would often faint and bleed at the
nose. We tried everything we heard
of without getting relief. We then
called in our family doctor who pre-

Held Up.

AT little past ten o'clock on Thurs
day evening of last week, the saloon
of M. B. Clary was held up by two
masked men and secured somewhere
in the neighborhood of $65 in money
from the cash register right in the
presence of the proprietor, who was
compelled to throw up his hands.
There was nobody but the proprietor
in the saloon at the time the robbers
walked in and it seems that the rob-
bers we're on to their job. They took
3 speedy departure after leaving the
saloon and the night being so dark,
it became impossible for the marshal
to get any trace of the. direction taken
by them. Mr.. Clary said that one
held dagger and the other q revol-
yer, besides being outnumheradb by one
he was unable to do anything or even
give an alarm until all was over. 1t
is quite likely they went north to re-
peat their bold ork.--Turtle River

Oldest Painting in the World.

A picture gallery that dates
from the stone age has been un-
earthed in a cavern near Eyzies,
France. The pictures, which are
all of prehistoric animals, were
not only cut in the rock, as is us"
ually the case with such repre-
sentations, but we're painted in
several colors and give some evi-
dence of artisticskill. There are
80 pictures shaded with red and
brown pigments found 70 be
ochre mixed with minute frag-
ments of transparent SILICA.
Made from the surest barley malt
and hops, cleanly bottled and
properly aged, Golden Grain Belt
beer is the ideal beverage for ta-
BILE use. Itis pure, delicious and
nourishing. Order of your deal

Death of j. D. Farley.

Friends and relatives in the city
were shocked last Thursday morning
to hear of the death OF Mr.. ]. d. Far
ley, a resident west of town. 1t came
all the more as a sudden surprise,
from the reason that Mr.. Farley, up
to the time of his death had been ap-
parantly in the best Of health. Thurs
day morning when an attempt was
made to awaken him, he was found to
have been dead for some time Fail
ure of the heart is the cause attributed
to his death. ... ... ..=..>aE
J. D. Farley was born in New York
in 1851. In 1875, he was joined in
matrimony to Miss Martha Hunt
singer. They moved to Iowa at an
early date and for some time made
their home at Waucoma. They
moved to this place in 1895, and have
ever since made Bemidji their home.
Mr.. Farley took up homestead two
miles west of the city, where he and
his estimable wife have lived. -.
Since his residence here Mr.. Farley
has made none but friends and hon
esty and square dealing have always
been coupled with his name. He
leaves wife and one daughter, Mrs.
G. W. Speelman, to mourn the death
of kind father and husband. @
The funeral services were held Sat-
urday afternoon, Rev. U. A. Foster
of the local M. e. Church officiating.
Interment was made in the Greenwood
cemetery. -

A New Physician.

In the coming to this city of DR..
Roland Gilmore, Bemidii has not
only gained physician who comes
recommended as one of more than Or
dinary skill, but as well q man of
character and good standing. DR..
Gilmore has for the past few years
been in practice of medicine at our
town of Fosston, but feel
ing the desire to broaden out in the
pursuit of his profession, he began
to look about for some place where he
might enlarge the sphere of his work,
and happily decided upon this city as
the scene of his future endeayors. The
doctor has engaged a suite of Office
rooms in the Miles block.

DINNER AT WHITE HOUSE.
Magnificent Banquet Spread for Prince In
The East Room.

The browning event of the days
ceremony was the dinner given by the
President of the United States to
Prince Henry. Detail was arranged to
add to the beauty and stateliness of
the event. The entire lower floor of
the White House was profusely decor
ated, the greatest possible attention
being given to the blue room and east
room, the one in which the President
received the Prince, the other in which
the dinner was given, and around
which the whole entertainment of the
evening conferred.
There have probably been more Law
ish decorations in the east room but
never more beautiful than those in
honor of this international dinner. Just
before the guests, as they entered the
east room, hung, side by side, the
German and American flags, pinned to-
gether near the top by an Admirars
anchor. Over the tops of the flags
were feStoons of SmilaX intertwined
with electric lights of red, white and
blue. These were the only two en-
blems of the countries now so closely
united and formed the background for
President Roosevelt and Prince Henry
as they occupied seats. side by side, at
the outer ellipse of the crescent-shaped
table.
In the recess of the windows were
banks of palms and tropical plants,
while mound of palms and flowers
filled the space left by the crescent
shaped table and added to the view of
the vista of flowers over $50 feet in
length, down which the Prince looked
from his seat at the table beside the
President. This was feature careful
ly thought out and the unobstructed
view from the east room to the ex-
IRENE end Of the Conservatives was
unusually fine.
Upon each napkin, bearing the coat
of-arms of the United States, were
sprays of valley lilies alternated with
pink roses. The red bordered china
bearing the coat-of-arms of the United
States in gold, especially designed and
ordered by Mrs. Cleveland, was used
for serving the dinner.
Upon the right of President Roose-
welt sat Prince Henry and upon his
left Lord Pauncefote, the British Am
bassador. Opposite these distinguished
men was Secretary of State Hay, upon
his right the German Ambassador, and

acted as escort to the station and saw
him safely aboard the train, which left
at midnight for New York city.
President Roosevelt and party left
Washington shortly before midnight
for New York, where he witnessed the
launching of the yacht Meteor, built
for the emperor of Germany. Accom-
panying the President were Mrs. Roose-
welt, Miss Alice Roosevelt, who chris
tened the yacht: Secretary Root, Mrs
Root, Miss Root, Secretary Hitchcock,
Commander and Mrs. Cowles, Senators
Lodge and Spooner, Representative

pulled out of the station few min
utes before the one occupied by Prince
Henry and his escort.
