USUAL LULI
PREV AILS
Bemidji Feels Effect of Usual
Depression During Sum-
mer Months.
CONSERVATISM OF PRESIDEN.
TlAL CAMPAIGN is FELT.
But Prospects Are Extremely
Bright For Heavy Fall And
Winter Business.

Although Bemidii is feeling
the usual effect of the general de-
preston that is felt in the mid.
summer season and the conser-
vatism that always marks the
approach of a national election,
local business conditions are of a
satisfactory nature.
Other cities and towns in the
northern part Of the state are
much more depressed than Be
midi, and although some re-
marks are heard from residents
of this city about the general lull
that seems to prevail here, peo
pie from other cities are heard
to remark on the WITNESS Of Be
midi compared with other Sec
tions Of the country in which
they have been and they all seem
to agree upon Bemidji as being
the liveliest city they have visited.
There is a lull in some lines,
but the natural location of Be-
midi as a summer resort brings
many people to the city during
the dull season and increases the
volume of business to such an
extent that very few complaints
are heard
Prospects for a very busy fall
and winter are bright, and the
merchants have invariably or
dered a larger stock for these
seasons than ever before. AS
soon as fall comes and the ma
tional campaign is disposed of,
business will take another squirt.

The following from the Duluth
Herald concerning an accident at
the , Shakespeare mine near

A. GoWan, of the Gowan Pey-

Shakespeare Gold Mining com
pany, he was called last Tuesday
TO Investigate, with the other
officers of the com pany, the acct
dental death of six men in the
mine The coroner's jury found
death due to suffocation, caused
by gases remaining in the tunnel
after an explosion of dynamite to
the negligence of the company.
The dynamite had been set off
at O'Clock the proceeding night,
at the bottom Of the 95-foot shaft,
no one entering the mine until
the four men went down the
following morning. Hardly had
the men reached the bottom of
the shaft before the engineer and
superintendent of the mine who
we're in the power house at the
end of a branch tunnel leading
through the hill, heard them call
ing for help. Instead of start
ing the air compressor, so as to
clear the mine of, all gases and
impure air. Superintendent Nc
MILAN, who had been in the en-
ploy of the company only a few
days, went Immediately to the
assistance of the men, in com
pany with theengineer. Descend
ing the shaft they too, were over
come by the gas. All six were
dead when taken from the mine.

E. X. Suydam of Leayen-
worth, Kan, Will Bring
Thirty Families Here.
TO SPEND THEIR SUMNER
VACATIONS.
Arrangements Are Already Com
pleted For the Purchase of
Cottage Sites.

G. @. Wood ward received a
letter this morning from b. N.
Suydam, of LeavenWorth, Kan,
who is now camped at Alexandria,
Mimi, to the effect that he would
return to Bemidji in a few days
to complete the deal for the pur
chase of a mum Der Of forty acre
tracts which front on the lake
upon which he will build twenty
five to thirty cottages to be used
by people from Kansas during
the summer months.
Mr.. Suydam was in the city a
few days ago and looked over the
land with j. J. Opsahl Of Turtle
River, who is the owner, and was
very much impressed with the
beautiful natural location and the
fine beach around the lake. He
Thought that Bemidji was an
ideal summer resort and that
the families he brought here
would like the place.
The deal will be closed up
within the next week and the
erection of cottages will COM
mefce at once. They will be
situated on the northeast side of
the lake and will com mand
view of the entire lake.
The benefit to be derived from
the families who will summer
here is very great, as most of
them are merchants and retired
farmers.

j. II. Gardner Bound Over To
Await the Action of ItaSca
County Grand Jury.

j. H. Gardner has been bound
over for the killing of William
Garrison a homesteader in the
northeastern part of Itasca

of the grand jury's investigation.
Gardner is one of the best
kno wn men in Itasca county and
he has many friends who will
come to his assistance and furn-

AGAINST LYNCH Law.
ecr,
forcetsI Resolutions Adopted It Mass Meeting Held
In Rossdas Last Week.

At mass meeting of the citizens, oi
the First judicial District, of Bolivar
county, Mississippi, ]. R. Peterson (fore-
man of the, grand jury at the present
term of court) was elected chairman and
john L. Gill as secretary, and the follow
ing resolution was introduced by the
Hon. Walter Sillers, Of Rosedale, to-wit:
Resolved, by the white citizens Of Boil
vsr county, in mass meeting assemble d
tor the purpose of expressing our abhor-
this State and county:
! on record as materially opposed to
lynch law except for that crime which,
in the South, puts its perpetrDtor on a
level with the beast of prey, and bevond
the pale ,Qf, human sympathy and the
protection, of the law.
I'd. That we most enlphatically refuse
to acknowledge the right of a few men
| to constitute themselves Judge, jury and
executioilers. and inf1ict the death penal
| ty on men charged with crime.
| Sd. That we do not think that men
who thirst for blood or delights in the
death agpiiies of his fellow men, fitted by
nature to pass upon the guilt or limo.
cence of amy man, and we believe that
men WHO in cold blood lynch those
charged with crime. are more dangerous
to the peace and welfare Of a community
than the criminal they lynch. !
4th That we are filled with horror by
| the recent 6endish act of mob that
burned q woman at the stake, and feel
deep shame and humiliation that such d
deed was committed in the State of Mis-
sissippi deed that shocked every senti-
ment of justice. manhood, christiaritY
and humanity, and sent thrill OF 'Orr0r
throughout the civilized world.
| 5th That the courts and all the ma
chinery of the Jaw are in the control ol
| the intelligencE.of this state, and there
has been no dsreliction of duty by judge
or Jury, and no cause tor mob violence
to suppress crime, and we call upon
every good citizen OF the State, and es.
pecially of Bolivar COUNTY, to use all oi
their influence to suppress this crims
against the law, justice and humanity; a
crime that brings the law into contempt,
and the people who aid. and abet, into
tdisrepute; and we here pledge the sheriff
Of this county our support in the protec1
tion ofhis prisoners, and at his call viii
| furnish men and mopey to bring tQ,jus-
tice any one who shall override, or at.
tempt to override, his authority.
