down in the regular manner, when the
rope broke and the balloon and boy
rapidly shot up in the air and soon
disappeared in the clouds.
The balloon rose over two miles
before it disappeared from view

One attempt to get away from

to escape deputy sheriff who
arrested him we're made by
Louis Larson, who this afternoon
was sentenced to serve Is DAYS
in the county jail after being
found guilty of obtaining a rail
way ticket from Bemidii to
Akeley under false pretense.
Larson was hired by Wheeluck
& Hawkes. and the latter was
conducting him, together with a
nun Der Of other men to Akeley,
where they were to be employed
by the Red River Lum Der com
pany. They reached Cass Lake,
but in going around the ''Y''near
that city Larson jumped off the
train and made good his escape
from Mr.. Hawkes.. The latter
upon his return instituted a
search for the man, who was 10.
Gated at Bena. Deputy Sheriff
Gibson Of Cass county accom-
panied Mr.. Hawkes.. to Bena,
where Larson was arrested.
While conducting Larson to Cass
Lake tn, latter made an attempt
to escape his captor while the
train was running at full speed.
He leaped from the cars two
miles west of Bena, but the
deputy followed him and after
firing two shots succeeded in
hating his man, who was hand
cufed and taken to Cass Lake,
where Sheriff Bailey of Bemidji
took him in charge.

a TISSUE
OF LIES
Arguments Advanced Against
Charter Utterly Without
Foundation.
CRY APPEARS TO BE ANYTHING
TO BEAT TIE CHARTER.
Opposition Hard Pushed to FIND
Reasonable Argument Against
City Organization.

Whlle there are perhaps CnOse
who are sincere in their Oppose
tion to the proposed city charter,
the arguments which are being
used to secured votes agains,
city incorporation are based upon
absolute falsehood. A short ex
animation of them by any on'
will bring conviction as to TIT
truth of this statement. While
the campaign Of those opposed
to the charter is purely a person
al one, the fears and prejudices
of every man being appealed to,
rather than his reason or his dt-
sire for the public veal, the mai'
arguments which have been ad-
vanced against the charter art
these:
/. "Mr. Saloon Man, if tn,
city organization carries, Bemidj
will be cut into wards and the
people Of the city will then hav'
the Sd and not you. And the
people of the city will then clost
you up tighter than drum"
This is part truth and part
falsehood. The people will have
a larger voice in the affairs OF
Bemidii if the charter is adopted,
it is true, but any citizen can
compel a strict observance Of the
law by the saloons just as well
under village organization as
under a city organization. No
man can point out single line in
the charter which gives enlarged
powers over the saloons.
2. THE charter provides for
a dozen or more high salaried
officers and the expense of run
ming the city will be increased if
the charter is adopted"
This statement is absolutely
false. The charter provides no
salaried officers whatever not a
single one, with the exception of
the water commissioners, who
are to receive the munificent
compensation Of 81 per year.
8. IF we get city organiza-
tion, a municipal court will be
established. gam bling will be
stopped and the saloons will have
to close at II O'clock.
This argument is based upon
absolute falsehood. The charter
does not provide for a municipal
courtand a municipal court would
have no more power to enforce
the law than do the present JUS
tice courts.
4. Nobody wants city organ
station except the nahobs who
live on Bemidji avenue. They
have made the village spend lot
tof money making their street
look pretty and if they get city
organization they will make the
city spend thousands of dollars
for them"
Hundreds of dollars have been
spent this summer improving
Bemidji evenue, but not one cent
has been spent by the city. The
property owners along the ave
niue have paid every penny Of it.
1.-The city has not paid me a dol
lar for cement sidewalks, for
grading Or for boulevarding on
Bemidji avenue" said Mr..
Crouch today.
5. The charter makes a lot
of laws and if you adopt it you
have got to submit to these
laws
The charter does not make anv
law of any kind and every lawyer
in the city will bear out this
statement. It simply directs
now the city may be organized
ander the existing state laws. .
When men are compelled to re
sort to such unfounded argu-
ments as these what must he the
natural? conclusion. That thew
have no valid objections to offer

Trash Cans Little Used.

1t would seem at times that people
are decidedly careless about the. ap.
pearance of Mill street, notwi ithstand.
ing that Council has gone to so much
expense and pains to keep the pave.
ment clean and presentable.
The ash cans. intended to be re-
ceptaole for papers as we'll as trash of
every other sort, last spring were dis.
tributed at convenient intervals all
along the street with hope that people
would use them.
For little while it seemed that
they were put to the proper use but
by and by people seemed TO forget
what was expected of them and now
the street often looks about as bad as
it did before the cans were installed
Banana peels are found lying on the
pavement exposing persons to DANCE r
of falling, while ON windy days news
papers and wrapping paper, dirty and
unsightly in appearance, may be seen
circling about at almost any point.
1t might be we'll to remind persons
who are negligent in this respect tha t
they are violating the law enacted and
approved last winter, which provides
a penalty for just such offenses as
throwing papers or rubbish of any sort
upon the streets.

NEW JOURNAL
WAS INSTALLED

The new journal to take the place of
the one accidentally burned out at the
electric light plant was completed by
Curry & Company Yesterday afternoon
and at once installed in its place. In
order to insure that it filred the bill in
every respect the plant was started up
and run for two hours. Nothing oo-
CURED to indicate any defect
Accordingly the plant was started
mp last evening and We had electric
light during the night, which was most
highly appreciated indeed after the
trying experience of the couple of
nights preceding, when the streets
we're without ray of light and it was
next to impossible without the aid of
lantern to find ones way anywhere
about town. Ii is unfortunate that the
mishap should have occurred just at a
time when there ia no moon in the
sky.
The accident illustrates the necessity
of having two dynamos so that when
anything happens one of them the 9TH
er can be thrown on and the lights
kept burning. 1t is not improbable
that another dynamo will be installed
by and by. To leave tine town in total
darkness might prove serious thing
under some circumstances.

A Pointer for School Bows.

An exchange gives boys the follow.
ing tip: A horse that is fast walker
does not have to trot so much. Did
our boys ever notice that? Well, it is
much the same with boys. A boy who
walks right up to and with his work
keeps abreast with his duties. has a
much more pleasant time than the boy
who is always tagging to the rear. A
boy must in some shape or other, do
his share. and if he persists in poking
along whenever the eye of the in
structor is on something else. he must
be made to trot to catch with the
fast, even walker who finds his work
easy and pleasant because he never al
lows it to get ahead of him. Take a
lot of hoys together and the fellow
who tries to do the least has much the
hardest time Of any. The boy who has
the easiest time is the one who peels
of his coat and starts right in with
the determination of doing we'll and
promptly the work that is assigned to
him tO do

G. e. VOriS' Painful Injury,

Charles E. Voris, pattern maker EN- .
ployed at Curry & OompanJ's plant,
met with a painful injury while at
work FRIDAY morning. He was en-
ployed at the lathe on a piece of wood
consisting of several parts glued to-
gether; under the pressure the differ
ent sections flew apart, two or more
of them striking Mr.. Voris. The worst
blow was sustained just above the left
eye, a deep cash being produced. A
painful bruise was also sustained in
the neck and on one of the limbs Mr..
Voris was badly dazed for awhile but
he was able finally to make his way
down town where he received surgical
attention from DR.. O. Shutlz. Two
stitches were inseted in the cash above
the eye.

PRESIDING ELDER
BALDWIN DEAD

Reverend Amos Smith Baldwin,
Presiding Elder of the Danville Dis

church, died at his home in Sunbury,

Death was due to cancer. Reverend
Baldwin had been failing in health for
a period covering over two years but
