LARGE AUDIENCE
AT THE NOVELTY

The real opening performance of the
Novelty theater occurred last evening.
1.-THE Slaves of Russia" was the bill
and the prophecies of Manager Bron-
son in regard to it's merits were not
over optimistic Owing to the delay
in the arrival of three new people for
the cast of the Novelty it has not
been possible for that house to show its
true worth before, but the opening last
evening was good. The melodrarnatic
situations were not overstrained and
the piece rang true. The largest Mon
day night audience that has ever as
sembled in the Novelty was present at
the performance last evening.
The work of Reginald Mason, the
new leading man, was especially note
worthy, although the work done by the
entire cast was good. THE Slaves of
Russia" is the story of love under
difficulties in the Russian empire. The
play possesses a strong heart interest
and was well staged.
Fischer's Has Big Show
Manager Fischer has a big show at
the First street theater this week.
Monte Carlo" proved a decided hit
last night and kept the audience in
laughter. The music is good and there
is just enough plot to hold the piece
together. The specialties are clever
and the pleasing chorus numbers and
ludicrous situations combine to make
up one of the best performances
Manager Fischer has yet offered. The
singing of Carl Joho and Miss Suther-
land called for repeated encores, While

A WILDERNESS OF TREES.


Inaccessible Forests That Abound In
Guatemala.
Nearly all OF the northern and east
ern part OF Guatemala is covered with
dense tropical forest, consisting of
mahogany, different kinds of cedar,
chicle and other hard woods. Along
streams down which logs can be float
ed much Of the mahogany has been
cut, but as yet very little OF the other
woods have been marketed. This is es-
pecially true of the departments of Pc
ten, Alta Verapaz and Izabal.
Most of the forests still belong to the
government, and the usual method of
securing the timber is by concession
by which certain number OF trees are
cut at given price per tree or slip
ulated sum is paid for the timber on
given tract. 1t Is not an easy matter
to get titles to large tracts of land in
Guatemala, as it is discouraged by the
government. These concessions are not
usually granted for longer period
than five years. Sometimes it is stipu-
lated that il a certain number of trees
are cut during that time they must be
rene wed.
The pine forests are limited, being in
the mountainous country principally
and inaccessible. Most of the lumber
used comes from the United States,
principally from California. The for
ests OF this country are generally so
inaccessible that the railroad compa-
Mes import nearly all their ties and
even import coal. because it is difficult
Tor them them to get enough frewood. New

MEETINGS TURN
MANY TO CHRIST
Large Crowds Attending Evan9el.
istic Services BY Rev. Mr..
Hamilton in City Hall.
Communicated

(Communicated)
Notwithstanding the threaten
ing weather last evening, a large
congregation was present at the.
city hall to greet Rev. Mr..
Hamilton. The evangelist was
at his best and preached a power.
ful sermon from Rev. 800, "Be-
hold | stand at the door and
knock. =
The following arguments were
presented to let Jesus come into
the heart.
First-It is right. No one will
dispute it. All agree that it is
right and their duty to let Jesus
Christ haye control Of their life.
Second-It is the noblest thing
to do. To be a Christian is to
follow the nob]est and heroic
passions of manhood and woman
hood. God s plan for every life
is wise and noble one and it is
the bounden duty of every man
to follow it.
Third-God wants our best.
The best is the heart. God says,
"My son give me thine heart and
let thine eyes observe my ways"
If you give God your heart the
Devil can have the rest. It is
nothing short of an insult to God
for one to spend his strength in
sin and dissipation and when no
longer able to trample the heart
of God under his heel and lift an
arm of rebellion against Him,
cast the dregs of wasted life
over on Him.
Fourth-The Christian life is
the only life worth living. Many
have tried to live without the
Lord Jesus Christ, but they have
confessed that their life was a
failure.
F'ifth-It is the only thing to
do, because Christ has the words
of eternal life. "
Sixth-Let Him in for the sake
OF forgiveness. eff we confess
our sins He is faithful and just
to forgive US our sins and cleanse
us from all unrighteousness.
Your sins may be as high as
mountain, deep as the sea and
black as midnight, but the Hood
of Jesus Christ cleanses from all
sin. -.--.- = .-- 49,

intention to begin the Christian

QUEER EASTER CUSTOM.

The Way Filipino Penttents Tor-
ture Themselves.
One of the many curious customs
practiced by some persons in the Phil
ippine Islands is the way in which they
observe the week before Easter. For
the Thursday, Friday and Saturday
before Easter the streets OF roads on
the outskirts of some villages and
sometimes the principal streets of the
town itself are filed with crowds, who
have come to see the natives infict
self torture.
The willing victims are stripped to
the waist, their faces are covered with
thick cloth and around one hand Is a
heavy hemp rope, with a cluster Of
from fifteen to twenty smaller hempen
cords. To each of these is fastened a
small piece of hard wood. The whole
thing is just long enough SO that when
flung over the shoulder it will not quite
reach to the waist.
When the penitents are ready to start
out a Filipino, who has been appointed
as a sort of overseer, takes the flesh of
S1C OuCA UCtWCcu ulo lAuAO dAu II p
finger and cuts the skin with long
bolo. This is done all over the back.
He then cries, "Alla, sigie" eco
ahead'). Then the penitent begins to
beat his back by flashing his cluster OF
little pieces of wood and cords first
over one shoulder, then over the other.
until the back Is SO lacerated that it
somewhat resembles raw beef. All the
while the onlookers and victims also
are singing, or, rather. chanting, a most
dismal, unearthly funereal chant.-New

JUDGE SPOONER
is AFFIRMED
Supreme Court UphoIds Decision
in Rat Portage Lumber Co.
Dam Case

Thesupreme court hasaffrmed
the decision of Judge Spooner in
the famous case of Stitt & Howe
VS.. the Rat Portage mber com
pany, tried in ltasca county a
year and half ago. j
The order means that Stitt &
Howe retain their interest in a
dam built in that county and
which has proved a valuable
piece of property.
The decision hinged on the
question whether a contract in
order to be binding in this case
and make it's violation come with
in the statute of frauds had to be
in writing. Judge Spooner and
the supreme court have held that
it does not. The higher court
says import:
A partnership may be formed
by parol to deal in real estate,
and to improve and sell for joint
profit particular piece of land.
When real estate is AGO uired in a
partnership business so formed
and for partnership purposes,
not withstanding the provisions
of the statute of frauds and of
the statute of uses, it is partner

title be taken in the name of one

THE DESERT MIRAGE.
An Expla nation of This Peculia,
Freak OF Nature.

Freak OF Nature.
One of natures true wonders-one
upon which much has been written,
but which is yet not understood when
Its varied phenomena are considered
Is the desert mirage. Travellers in the
arid regions OF the western and south
western United States tell wondrous
tales concerning the spectral pictures
which the desert mirage has presented
for their inspection. Cool sheets of wa
ter and waving trees and grassy
swards appear where all is known to
be parched earth and burning sands.
Occasionally mountain range will ap.
pear on what is known to be a bound
losa atrorohs nf lovol plain, or a herd of
deer, cattle or other animals will be
seen apparently contentedly grazing
on the CLASSY surface of the atmos-
phere. Cities are occasionally seen
hundreds of miles from civilization.
and phantom ships have been known
to loom up against the sky and appear
as real vessels to persons who lived
so far away from the waters that they
had never taken the trouble to visit the
seacoast and who had never seen a
real ship. = ~'--
The explanation of the mirage, as
usually given, is as follows: .-.
The sand, being intensely hot, causes
the layers Of air which rest upon it to
become greatly rarefed, and under Ger
tain circumstances this; layer is quite
distinct from the denser stratum few
inches or feet above it--just as if 1t
were sheet Of water upon which oil
rested. It Is this rarefied stratum of
air which acts as reflector and pic
lures to the eye those curious inverted
images. se ~

Marriage and Health.

Marriage is an institution highly con-
ducive to the health Of both husband
and Wife, says American Medicine
statistics prove that among married
men over twenty years Of age and wo.
men over forty the mortality rate is
Tar less than among those who remain
single Among the widowed and d.
Vorced the mortality is exceptionally
great. Suicides among the unmarried
are much more numerous than among
the married. The matrimonial state
promotes temperance in every form.
furthermore, the probable duration OF
Ute OF married man Of thirty exceeds
mat OF his unmarried brother by five
years, and the wife may. expect to live
one year longer than a single woman
OF the same age. e.

Council and Mayor After Men Who
Dump Garbage on Public
Highways.
SPECIAL POLICEMEN WILL
MAKE ARRESTS.
Watch to Be Kept for Those Who
Make Roads Unsiehtly and
Unsanitary.

The man who dumps garbage
on the public highways, especial
ly on the corduroy roads leading
out of the city, is going to get
into trouble. The city council
and the mayor are after him and
if he is not arrested and brought
to justice it will be because he is
too cute to be caught.
The garbage situation was
thoroughly discussed at the meet
ing of the city council last night
and it was decided that the best
way to put stop to the practice
of dumping refuse anywhere and
everywhere would be to appoint
a number of special policemen
without pay, whose duty it will
be to spot the offenders and haul
them before justice of the
peace.
Mayor Carter was in thorough
accord with the plan and will
appoint the additional policemen
at once. The new officers will
be public spirited men, who live
in neighborhoods where garbage
is unlawfully dumped, and will
serve for the mere love of doing
a duty to the public.
The matter was brought to a
head last night by a report OF the
committee having garbage mat
tiers in charge. It declared that
the city dumping ground, about
mile and a half northeast of
town, is used very little except.
ing by the city scavenger. That
farmers and others who haul
refuse from the stores and other
places of business in Bemidji do
not take the trou BILE to hunt out
the dumping ground, but dis
pose of their loads in the most
convenient manner possible; the
corduroy roads being the most
favored spots for dropping the
garbage.
The result, declared the COM
mittee, is to make the roads into
the city filthy and unsanitary.
Alderman Brinkman brought
up the matter of securing ex.
cursions into Bemidji from other
cities and mentioned Brainerd as
good city in which to make a
beginning. 1t seems that the
railroad men there have an annual
excursion and picnic every June
and Mr.. Brinkman urged that
the council take means to get the
railroad men here. AS a means
to this end, he suggested that
the council send Mayor Carter
to Brainerd to make full arrange
ments, and that $50 be appro-
priated for necessary expenses.
The proposition was. coldly re-
ceived by the other aldermen,
however, and no action was taken.
