BOARD OF SAFETY
Question of Who Will Pay for
 Badges Not Settled.

According to . vote taken by the board of safety yesterday afternoon the entire regular police force from the superintendent down to the latest recruit in the ranks will have to un- dergo physical examination by Pc lice Surgeon O'Hara and the superin- tendent must fle a written report of the result for the meeting to be held three weeks hence.
 Commissioner Minor presided at part of this meeting and Mayor Thoms the latter part.
 On the above matter Commissioner Andrews asked if that ground had not been covered quite recently by the last board. and he was told tbat it was to the extent that few police men had been examined.
 NJ. J. Horan of 222 Washington street filed an application for promo tion to the regular police force T. Jo- seph Wood and William F. Grouden filed applications for appointments on the call force.
 Commissioners Andrews and Spair were appointed to work with Chiee Snagg on the matter of purchasing all apparatus for testing kerosene oil. Private tests have shown tue board that Standard oil in this town is far below the point of asfety. An application from the Waterbury Herald for fire alarm striker for Its office was referred to Commissioners Marggraff and Griffin.
 Thomas COndon and John J. Crane were appointed callmen by the unanl- nous vote of the board. 4 bill for s15O was received for five gold badges for the members of the retired board of safety. This matter evoked some fun and discussion. Com missioner Minor asked in a vein as though he did not know what he was talking about, if the badges were the property of the city or of the individ- uals of the old board. And being told | that they were considered as individ ual property, he seemed surprised. He thought it was mighty queer that 1 what the city pays for. should he con sidered individual property and he would like to know by what authority it changes ownership To say the least, he thought 1t very unusual. Commissioner Andrews remarked that accouiing to some people every thing the last board did was unusual. We'll! said Commissioner Minor "if members of board of the city of | Waterbury can buy badges for them selves at the expense of the city. don't see why they can't buy automo- piles. The latter would be darned sight better" He thought the badges ought to be city property and he hano- ed down from board to hoard. The bill was tabled to the next meeting and meanwhile it will be ascertained if it is payable. and if so. whether from the old or the new appropria- ton.
 One thousand feet of hose at fifty five cents a foot was bought. and the matter of issuing permit for a wrest- ling match in the city hall. to be held February 15. was considered not prop erly before the board. There Is a question as to who has Jurisdiction over the city hall.
 The ccBlmittee on wheels reported a bad situation. existing in most of the engine houses and Commissioners An drews and Griffin were appointed to look over all the houses and see what repairs are necessary.
 The board then adjourned to { o'clock this afternoon.

TOYS.

All up and down the land 60
With mother, making calls,
And sit in chairs so much too high
In strange and different halls,
And cannot think Of things to say,
And feel SO pleased to start away.
But when we come to home again,
I'm as glad as glad can be
To see the very oldest toys
All waiting there for me-
The horse with missing tail, the blocks,
And all the soldiers in their box.
The hosecart with the broken shaft,
l. The doll that will not talk,
The little duck that ran so fast,
And now Mt even walk.
They all are friends so tried and true
Because Of what they used to do.
And every day when I'm away
I know they miss me SO,
I never ought to leave them once,
They re sensitive, you know.
And just to comfort them mite
I take them all to bed at night.

Puts IL Good Licks"
for Cole.

Henry Funkley returned yes
terday afternoon from Mallard,
in Clearwater county, where,
Tuesday evening, he was the
principal speaker at a largely at
tended republican rally.
The hall was crowded to the
doors and many were turned
away. 3. Tietsworth Of Bagley,
county attorney of Clearwater
county, presided, and introduced
Mr.. Funkley in a few well-chosen
words. The "tall sycamore" of
.Bemidji gave the Clearwater
county people very eloquent
talk on the excellence of republi
can principles and paid high
tribute to the republican candi-
date for governor, Hon. A. l..
Cole, at the mention of whose
name there was prolonged ap.
plause.
At the conclusion OF Mr.. Funk
ley's speech he was warmly con-
graduated, and he is in demand
over in our neighboring county.

Church Makes Change Of
Churches Nov. /.

Rev. 3. M. Peterson, pastor
OF the Norwegian Lutheran
church of this city, has decided
to leave Bemidji and locate in

charge of the Norwegian Luth-
eran congregation of that place,
after November 1.
Rev. Mr.. Peterson has been
pastor of the local church during
the past three years and has
done much good for his congre-
CATION. Improvements have been
made to the church building, and
there has been much added in
terest in the work of the church.
Miss Gepa Peterson, daughter
of Rev. Peterson, has also been
q faithful worker, acting as or
ganist and also assisting in the
work of the Sabbath school, as q

A dispatch from Washington.

states that W. A. Richards, com
missioner of the general land
Office, in his forthcoming annual
report, will recommend the dis
continuance of the st. Cloud land
Office, which is practically out of
business. Whether the Office
will be abolished outright or con-
solidated with one of the other
Minnesota districts is a question
soon to be determined. The dis
patch intimates that Bemidji may
get into the field again IN an en-
deavor to wrest the land office
from Cass Lake, and says:
In this connection there is
some talk among Minnesota
people in Washington to the
effect that congress may re-dis-
trict the state next winter bv
means Of a bill which Congress
man Halvor SteenersOn is said to
have in process of incubation.
This bill, if introduced, would
make three land Offices in the
state of Minnesota, viz: Duluth,
Crookston and Bemidji.
1T will be remembered that at
the time the Cass Lake Office
was established it was done
through executive order by a
consolidation of the Marshall dis
trict with the other districts and
the removal Of the Marshall ofd ,e
to st. Cloud and the ST. Cloud
Office TO Crookston. The matter
was conducted rather skillfully
and Cass Lake had been desig-
mated ere Bemidji people knew
what was going On. But Be-.

son that President Roosevelt
