Anent the coming city election
it may be we'll to remind the
voters of the city that city asses
sor is one of the most important
Offices in the city, and for their
own protection they should see
that the very best man is chosen.
In this connection it may be
proper to remind the voters that
James e. Cahill, who was asses
sor for the last two years and
whose assessment was the most
thorough and equitable in the
history of this municipality, is a

from a very severe attack of in.
fammatory rheumatism, and will
not be able to see his friends be

all others having the welfare of
the city at heart, should see that
he is reelected on the 10Th.

Song Service at Presbyterian Church

Song Service at Presbyterian Church.
Long before the time for the
song service to begin at the
Presbyterian church last even
ing the house was crowded to it's
full capacity. The people came
in large numbers, and although
100 of the fremen's chairs we're
used, a large number were
turned away.
The program was fine, and
showed much work and skill.
The soloists acquitted themselves
in a very commendable way.
Three small girls, trained by
Mrs. Pryor, sang a trio that was
greatly appreciated. Dorothy
Torrance spoke the recitation,
with music, in her usual pleasing
manner.
Great credit is due Prof
Turner for his work in training
and to Mrs. A. A. Warfeld for
her tireless energy in practicing
with sololsts and choruses. Prof.
Turner by request sang "The
Holy City" during the offertory.

H. W. BAILEY,
Candidate for City Clerk, at City EIec.
ton, Feb. 19.

Fl. W. Bailey has announced
his candidacy for the Office of
city clerk.
Mr.. Bailey has had much ex-
perience in the municipal affairs
of the community, having served
as village recorder (prior to the
adoption of the city charter) for
two terms, during which the re-
cords were kept in a frst-class
manner, and Mr.. Bailey was al
ways punctual in his work and
expeditions in cooperating with
the members of the council at
meetings so that business did
not drag.
Mr.. Bailey is an old soldier,
being an honored member of
Bemidji G: A. r. post, Of which
he has been commander ever
since it's organization. He is an
exemplary citizen and well wor-
thy the support of any voter.

with statement to the effect
that even if Mr.. Pogue did COL

Should this statement be made,
we ask the voters indulgence to

there was no poll tax levy in the
city for the year 1906.

CASE AGAINST "SHORTY"
WESLEY is CONTINUED
The County Attorney Requests That the
Case Be Continued to
February 28.

James (Shorty) Wesley, who
was arrested by Deputy Sheriff
Arne Solberg, rorth of Deer
River, on the 9 h of February, on
the charge of killing N. O Dahl,
was arralgned in justice court,
this morning, before O M. Skin
vik, justice Of the peace, and at
the request of the county at
torney, his case was continue q
until the 28th inst
The charge on which Wesley
was arrested will necessitate his
being tried on murder in the
first degree, and will require
some very strong evidence to Sc
cure a conviction.
AS has before been stated,
Wesley was once before arrested
on the charge Of completely in the
murder OF N O Dahl and his
daughter Aagot and was brought
to Bemidji and indicted, but was
subseo uently released for lack of
evidence. The present county
attorney seems to believe he has
evidence that will convict Wesley
of the crime of killing N. O. Dahl,
and will prosecute along that
line. H.. ~
When the case was arraigned
this morning, Wesley had no at
torney, but will probably secure
one.

Also Mr.. Voter, even were
there poll tax levy for the year
1906, would that, in your judg-
ment, excuse Mr.. Pogue in any
manner for the neglect of his
duty as street com missioner for
the year 1904?
Do you know, Mr.. Voter, that
had the poll tax levy of 1904 been
collected the city would have
had at least $500 additional street
work, or been saved that amount
OF money from being paid out of
the city treasury.
It Mr.. Pogue collected more

In this connection, let US re-
mind the voters of fact, which
they very well knew at this time
that while Pogue was street
commissioner drawing salary as
such, be engaged in sinking a
we'll for the village Of Nymore,
and if, when he is elected mayor
he gives up his time to other
matters, that should be given to
advancing the city's best inter-
es ts, as be did as street com mis-.
sioner, surely then his services
will be of no value to the city.

General Manager GemmelI and Super
intendent Strachan on Spring
inspection Trip Over Line.
WORK ON NORTHERN EXTENSION
PROGRESSING SATISFACTORILY.
Mr.. GemmeIl RidicuIes Rumor OF Alb.
sorbing Red Lake Road-WilI
Improve Local Property.

W. H. Gemmell of St. Paul,
general manager of the M. & I.
Ry., and W. 81. Strachan, super
intendent, were in the city this
morning, on their return from
Big Falls, having gone from
Brainerd north yesterday,
aboard a special train.
The two railroad officials were
on their spring inspection trip
over the road, and stated that
everything was moving along
most satisfactorily.
According to the officials the
contractors have started work on
the north side Of the Little Fork
river, on the Big Falls Interna.
tional Falls extension of the NJ.
& l., and are filing the camps
with men. The progress made
so far has been rapid, and it
looks as lf'the contractors would
make good their promise of
building the road to International
Falls by July 4 The road will
cross the river at the town of
Littlefork. It will cross at Ken
dall's place, but the depot will be
located just opposite the town
and within half a mile of the busi-
ness center. The company, as a
result of a conference with the
proprietors of the Littlefork
townsite, have agreed not to plat
any of the land near the station.
In consideration for this conces-
sion, the Littlefork people have
agreed to construct wagon and
foot bridge across the river so as
to have easy access to the station.
The parent company is already in
charge of the work up north.
The significance Of the deal is
variously viewed, but it will
almost certainly mean through
trains from the twin cities to the
north boundary.
There has been a rumor to the
effect that the M. & I. would take
over the new Minneapolis, Red
Lake & Manitoba railway, which
owns line from Bemidji to
Redby. Asked as TO this, Mr..
Gemmell ridiculed the idea and
declared a canard in every parti.
cular.
When asked as to whether the
M. & I. intended to erect new
depot near the site of the pres
ent one, Mr.. Gemmell stated that
while the company would un-
doubtedly make some improve
ments to it's property here, there
was no foundation for the state
ment that a new depot would be
erected, or that the M. & I.
would com bihe with the G.. N.
in the erection of a union depot
in this city.

YanIes Won Many English Derbisa.
It Is probably not known to the gen
srality Of people that Of the last six
anniversaries Of the great English Der
by five have been won by jockeys from
America, and, though on none Of these
occasions has the finish been Of an alb
soIuteIy hair raising nature, yet, on the
other hand, not one of these races has
been so easily won but that it required
all the skill Of a most accomplished
rider to bring about the result.
Indeed, the very conformation Of the
EPSON course calls for an ample sup
ply of both nerve and workmanship
throughout the whole Of the journey
before victory can be achieved. The
start taking place about half mile
from and opposite the stands, the
horses then gallop up a slight incline
for about half a mile, after which the
next half mile is rather downhill until
the famous Tottenham corner Is reach
ed, where they turn into the one-half
mile stretch.
Round this same corner Fred Ar
cher Of days gone by was reputed to
have raced many times with one leg
over tho rails. This last half mile Is a
very gentle decline. The "blue ribbon
of the TURF the great race is called In
England, and the term Derby has
now become a household word in all
countries where horse racing prevails,
since every nation has now !ts Der
by" and all over the globe stirring
contests take place and great multi
tudes attend. The scene at EPSON on
Derby day cannot be adequately de-
scribed, but must be viewed to b
realized.

Joe Cans.

No other pugilist in the ring has
fought 50 many really hard battles as
Cans. He Is without doubt the clever
est man in the ring today, bar none. In
any class. He has the peculiar faculty
Of being able to pick out the vulneFa-
BILE point Of an opponent and goes at It
as unhesitatingly as a surgeon with q
knife.
Withal he is most merciful, and even
with his great cleverness he takes no
pleasure in cutting his adversary 20
ribbons. He is one of the many prize
fighters who do not save money.
He is very liberal and an inveteFate
gambler He backs himself In those
fights that he tries to win and dallies
with every known game Of chance.
Cans is what many persons term q
born pugilist. and had he remained
strictly square In bis ring endeavors
he would without doubt be one Of the
most popular fighters in the ring today
despite his color.
