at 9 o'clock Wednesday morning,

brant of the nupital mass. The
bride, attired in the typical wedding
garment of white, wore veil, her
only ornament consisting of rare
gold cross and chain, the wedding
gift of the groom. Miss Anna

The groom, in conventional black,

JAMES F. HAWKINS WILL;
REOPEN HIS MARKETHERE
Popular Vendor Of Meats Has Returned to Bemid and
Will Again Prepare Excellent Cuts of Steak.
Alex. Doran Will Assist

The meat market which has been
conducted for some time past under
the management of Hawkins Bros.
has been closed during the past ten
days, owing to the death of Patrick
Hawkins, who was the active mana
ger of the market.
The people of Bemidji will be
pleased to learn that the market will
be reopened Saturday next,under the
personal management and direction
of James F. Hawkins, who made
such success of the market previous
to going to Minot, N. D., last fall.
James Hawkins, by his untiring
efforts to please the public with the
best the market afforded in the line
of meats and provisions and every
thing kept in a. frst-class meat
market, made many friends and
secured a large patronage while he
remained in the city and had per-
sonal charge of the business. His
removal to Minot was always
regretted.
Since he went to the "Flickertail''
state, Mr.. Hawkins has been the
recipient of many requests to return

COUNCIL APPROPRIATED
$3.50 TO AID COUNTY FAIR
Also Considered the Street Railway Proposition and Sew
eral Other Matters, at Meeting Last Evening".
Will Amend Railway Ordinance.

The report of Justice NJ. G.. Slo-
cum was accepted.
The contract of S. N. Reeves for
the lowering of the city hall was
approved and the mayor instructed
to sign same.
The application of A. L. Wyler
for transfer of the license was on
motion approved, he to furnish
new bond.
Major Bros. were granted por-
ton of the alley while they were con-
constructing their new brick build
ing, between First and Second
streets on Beltrami avenue.
The council granted an appropria-
ton of $3.50 to the use of the Bel
trami County Agricultural associa-
tion, to be expended for the 1907
county fair. ~@''''>.
The finance committee made a
report recommending an amendment
to the peddler's ordinance. They
recommend that the peddler's license
be changed from $40 per year to $40
per day; circuSes from SIS per day
for the first day and $40 for each
subsequent day to $50 for the first
day and SIS for each subsequent
day; medicine shows from S. for the
first day and $3.50 for each subse-
quent day to SIS and SIS.
The above recommendations are
commendable, as during the past
summer Bemidji has been an easy
mark for fakirs, much to the disgust
of the citizens, and they constitute
financial loss to the merchants.

to Bemidjl and again assume the
management of the local market
that was conducted by Patrick
Hawkins, and he has at last listened
to the requests, and on Saturday
will again be behind the counter at
the old stand, prepared to cut meats
in the exceptional manner for which
he is noted.
And, by the way, Mr.. Hawkins
has no superior in the state of Mime
sofa as a cutter of meats, a fact
which many housewives of Bemidji
can attest to, as large majority of
them have had reason to note his
excellent work as a vendor of meats.
Mr.. Hawkins has engaged the
services of Alexander Doran, one of
the most popular young men who
ever resided in Bemidji, to assist in
conducting the market. Mr.. Doran
has had considerable experience in
the meat business, and withal, is
courteous and efficient employe.
Mr.. Hawkins will undoubtedly
make big success of his present
venture in the local meat market
field, as his record while here prev
iously was of the best.

The regular meeting of the council
was held at the council rooms last
evening, and after the reading and
approval of the minutes of the last
meeting, and the allowance of the
usual number of bills, the regular
work was taken up.
A resolution of the Nymore council
was read wherein that body offered
to appropriate $3.50 towards the lay
ing out of the road between this
city and Nymore, the same to be
paid provided a good passable road
is built. The resolution was accepted
and filed.
The ordinance requiring meters to
be placed in all houses using city
water was given it's third reading
and passed. This ordinance requires
all users of city water to purchase
and install meters before January l.,
1908.
The matter of the reading of the
ordinance granting street railway
was then taken up and discussed at
length. A number of amendments
were suggested, and it was finally
agreed that new ordinance would
be drafted and presented at the
next meeting. A committee of three
was authorized to be appointed to

Is very good hunting, and Bemidji
is the starting point for practically
all the hunting parties going into
the region. They come from out
side points and stop in our town for
a day or two to fit up for the trip.
Most of them buy their ammunition
there, thus saving the bother of
carrying it long distances on the
train.
The dealers expect this year, and
make preparations accordingly. You
would think there was a war going
on to see the number of boxes of
ammunition coming into town along
in the fall of the year. Even with
the heavy supply on hand, I have
known instances where the dealer
in town has been out of some of
the cartridges most commonly used.
That was several years ago,however.
They now take good care to see
that there is no chance of their run
