GOVERNOR j. b. FRAZIER has an
nounced that he will sign no more
laws abolishing town or city cor
porations when there has not first
been vote taken and a majority
declared in favor of the surrender
of the present charters. This is
certainly the spirit of the law,
whether strictly the letter OF not.
The act of 1901, as we'll as the
Adams law, contemplates local OPP
ton and local option means that
the people shall say by their votes
whether or not they favor the open

FRIDAY, MARCH 6, 1903.
MARCH.


From reading an account of the
Chinese celebrating their new
years day on February 8, which
seems so strange to us, my mind
has gone out in search for the rea-
son and hence have been led to
study the months Of the year, so l
get my subject, March"
AS a matter of fact, it was this
way that our year begins January
l: Julius Caesar chose January l,
not because it was that day, but be-
cause the first new moon, which he
chose for the installation of his
calendar, fell on that day.
The proper time, one would nat
urally think, for beginning the
year would be at the vernal equi-
nox, which falls about March %,
because this is the time when the
earth awakens from its winter sleep
and spring begins anew its annual
work of creation.
For many centuries the English
speaking world made March rs
incorrectly supposed to be the date
of the equinox-the first day of the
year, and the change was made in
1852, at the time of the adoption of
the Gregorian calendar. France,
however, considered March the
first month Of the year until 1864,
aud Scotland until 1899.
The Romans called the month
Martins from the god Mars, which
means loud and stormy month.
Itmay be interesting to note that
all leases in the State of Delaware
begin and end on March %. In
England bank statements are an
nually made in March. The sky is
particularly attractive this month,
and of course will be used by as
tronomers to an effect. More plan
cts, have been. discovered in this
month than,any, other. Owing to
a strange coincidence more histor-
ical events of interest to students
Of United States history have oc-
Cured within the month than any
other. Let us mention some ot.the
most important and study these fol
yourselves. First United States
Congress met in March, 1889, and
the first assembly of Pennsylvania
met in March. John Tyler, Gen
eral Sheridan, Grover Cleveland
born in March. Florida admitted
into the union, Maine admitted
Alaska purchased, and many othel
events of equal Importance.
"In God we trust" the motto
which is stamped upon all gold ant
silver coin Of the United States wa
first stamped in March, 1864. l
was suggested by an old farme
living in Maryland. This consci
entious christian man thought tina
our currency should in some wa
indicate the christian character Q
our nation. This matter was frs
referred in 1864, when S. P. Chas
was secretary of the treasury. Hi
letter was referred to Mint DireC
tor Pollock, who discussed it in hi
report to Congress in 1862. l
1863 he urged the matter, and s
Congress authorizeda2 bronz
piece coined, and in March, 1856
it was coined.
It was in March while her stron
wind was raging across the beacl
that Charles Wesley was standin
and viewing the deep, when h

CASE OF SUICIDE
Mozie Bacon Took the Car
bolic Acid Route Last
Saturday.

Maize Bacon, known by the
police as the toughest female
character who ever operated in
Bemidii, tired of her life of de-
bauchery and shame, committed
suicide at Blackjack last Satur-
day by drinking carbolic acid.
She was only a girl'o 20 years
of age but her reputation in police
circles was one seldom equaled
by older women. Her real name
is said to be Anderson and her
home is supposed to be at Cass
Lake. She drank the acid on
Saturday and died on Sunday
morning
: It's said that the woman has
been married three or four times,
once to a Bemidji man by the
name of Disham.lShe has a child
three or four years old.

Schneider's Opening.

The formal opening of the
Schneider Bros. store Saturday
night was a. success from every
viewpoint: The Bemidji orches-
ira furnished a pleasing musical
program which lasted througout
the evening and attracted large
crowds. The well appointed
store was thronged with people
from early in the evening till
closing time. Some came merely
to see and others to buy, but the
large force of clerks was kept
busy waiting on the customers.
To each person entering the store
a pretty program of the musical
numbers was given. On one side
of the sheet We're. a number of
helpful suggestions for men who
would be dressy. Latest styles
of full dress, business dress, day
dress and informal dress were
given.

markable, said Chas. II. Bah

attorney, today, He arrived from

the lawyers in the: Lydiclz case,
last night.
Mr.. Rabbit was for seventeen
wears in the United States gem
eral land office and been for nine
years in actual practice. He has
been interested in Minnesota
land cases for the most part, and
has a large number Of clients in

The attorney said today that
agricultural laud on the Chippe-
wa Indian reserve would be open
to settlement in about three
months. Speaking Of lands ~
this reservation Mr.. Rabbit said:
Next winter from - to 3 335 per
cent of the timber in the reserve
will be sold and the proceeds al
lotted to the Indians. When L
left Washington officers were 60
ing over the Iistsof lands and had
them tWo-thirds covered. From
this | infer that they-will be open
40 the homesteader within three
months, though it may take some
longer than that. Only agrlcul-
tural land will be open to be filed
on. All timber tracts will be re-
served, or sold by the govern
ment agents. W
sWhen the timber is cut off the
LANDS those which have not been
allotted to the Indians will be
opened for settlement. There
will be considerable left over
from Indian allotments which
may be filed on.
Il think that from now on the
settlement of Northern Minneso-
Fta will be more rapid than it has
even been before. and the coln-
try tributary to Bemidji will get
/ its full share Of the hOmeseekers.
