WHAT OTHER PEOPLE THINK
Cruelty to Children.

The Morals of the CoIored Race
Thomas Nelson Page continues his dis

If the former papers have created discus

EXCITING
Double Runaway Which Threat.
ened Serious Results
For a Time.

A runaway occurred just at
at noon today which for a few
moments threatened the life of
Luther Belke, a farmer living
near town. Mr.. Belize was I'M
loading wood in the alley near
the Hotel Markham and the
blowing Of the whistle of the
Bemidji Steam Laundry for noon
frightened his horses. They
ran out on Beltrami avenue with
Mr.. Belke sitting on the hind
axle, clinging to the sides of the
wood rack and shouting at the
top of his voice. Mr.. Belize was
badly frightened or he might
have reached the reins and
stopped the team. A single rig
stood in front of T. J. Miller &
Co.'S. Office and this horse started
to run adding to the excitement,
Bake wood rack collided With
a tree on Bemidji avenue near
the rear Of the Lal1eshore hotel
and Bake was badly bruised,
but not seriously, on one temple
and one leo.

Claimed That Jacob Dyrhaug
Was not Drowned But
Murdered.
SAID THAT A MAN WAS WITH
HIM In THE BOAT.
Also That he Had on His Person
Money and Checks for
Considerable.

A story is in circulation to the
effect that Jacob Dryhaug sup
posed to have been drowned in
Red Lake Sunday night, was not
drowned at all but murdered.
The story was published in the
Crookston Journal this morning
but no authority was given and
no one in Bemidji, although sew
eral people are here from Shot
ley, know anything of the mat
ter.
According to the story as pub
lished by the Crookston aper,
Dryhaug was not alone when he
started to row home Sunday
night but two men, who have not
been seen since, were with him.
1t is also claimed that Dyrhaug
had checks on his person for a
considerable amount Of money,
and that payment on these
checks has been stopped. The
sheriff's Office here, however, has
heard nothing to this effect, and
A. M. Sivertson, Mr.. Dyrhaug's
brother, who passed through
Bemldji last night from Crooks
ton on his way to Shotley, gave
no hint of any suspicion of muir,
der in discussing the matter.

UNJUST
ThOughtless Criticism Leveled at
Members of the Fire
Department.

Yesterdays small fire in Car
sons addition caused the good
people of that part Of the city to
complain Of the fire department.
for hardness in arriving on the
scene and one or two were so
thoughtless as to say that all the
boys care about the fire was to
get their money out of it.
For some little time-a few
minutes yesterday morning it
was impossible for the depart
ment to find out where the fire
was. As soon as IT. was located
the department was on the spot
in double quick time. Bemidji
has no fire alarm system and un
less the alarm is turned in
through Central" it is difficult
to locate the fire, d difficulty
which every individual exper-
fences at every fire. AS to the
charge that all the fremen care
about the work is the money
they get out Of it, the fact that
they get but fifty cents for each
fire or one dollar when the water
is turned on is ample disproof.
There are none of the depart
ment's critics would do such
work for such money.
Bemidji has a splendid volun-
teer fire department. It is un-
eXcelled in northern Minnesota
and is entitled to praise rather
than blame.

TALL PINE
TONIGHT
Congressman Stevenson
Will Speak at the Opera
House Tonight.
BAND AND DRUM CORPS WILL
FURNISH MUSIC.
Local Speakers Will Also BE Heard
Campaign Songs
Prepared.

Congressman Stevenson, the
principal speaker Of the day,
failed to arrive on the noon train
as had been expected but word
was received that he will reach
Bemidji tonight on the M. & l..
from st. Paul.
The meeting at the opera house
this evening will be called to Or
der at $50 and Congressman
Stevenson will be the principal
speaker. Mr.. Steenerson has
been campaigning steadily in the
interest of the state and national
ticket for several weeks and has
spoken in all parts Of the state
from southern Minnesota and the
twin cities to Roseau and no man
in the state is more closely in
touch with the situation than he.
This afternoon the band Got
out and paraded the streets and
played one or two selections at
the opera house. Owing to the
failure of Mr.. Steenerson to ar
rive no meeting was held this af-
ternOOn.
At the meeting tonight a male
quartette will sing a mum Der OF
original campaign songs. One OF
them is the work of local poet
and is said to be work of art.
The crowd in town has not
been as large as was expected
The day could not have been
more perfect but the failure tc
secure a special train and the
necessity for the people on
the north line to stay over night
kept many away. At that about
200 people came in this mornine
on the passenger and the freight
from KelIiher while there is a
fair attendance on the part of the
farmers of the neighboring coun.
try. The stores have done good
business during the day and the
Bargain Day idea has resulted in
bringing a large amount OF
money to the city.

W. r. and G. w. Baumba are

cause Judge Collins was not

spectacle of these two worthless
united in the effort to defeat Mr..

Wadena county November 8. G.

Indian Territory, where he will
make his future home, Sunday.

HE'S SQUARE
c. ". Hastings Personal EST.
mate of Hon. Robert
C. Dunn.

Bemidji has a distinguished
guest today in the person of c..
w. Hastings, of Minneapolis,
president Of the First National
Bank of this city, and largely in
terested in banks in Grand Rap
ids, Blackjack, Northome and
Kelliher.
Mr.. Hastings is a dyed in the
wool democrat and says that
Johnson will be elected but in
discussing the situation Mr..
Hastings deplores the nastiness
which mugWump republicans
and misguided republicans have
injected into the campaign. Il
have personally known Mr..
Dunn, said Mr.. Hastings, ssfor
years. He is the best state audi
tor that Minnesota ever had, and
he is an honest man and a good
man. The things they are say
ing about him are not so at all.
He,is as So uare a man as ever
lived that is, added Mr.. Hast
ings, ssas square republican as
ever lived. [ never did see a re-
publican that was quite as square
as a democrat.
Mr.. Hastings left Bemidji this
afternoon. Since his last visit
here Mr.. Hastings has the great
misfortune to loose a leg, gan
creme having set in from a case
of diabetes. The operation was
performed two months ago and
Mr.. Tasting has recovered as
rapidly as would a young man.
