An impression has gained ground

public affair but this is untrue
About 800 invitations have been
issued and only those who have

allowed to attend the dance.
Several neatly pinted cards have

BELIEVES A WOMAN WHO
SU|C|DED WAS HIS WIFE
C. C. Barber Looking for Infant Son
Who Was With Woman Who
Killed Herself.

c. c. Barber of Staples came in
yesterday from Blackjack, where he
went to learn the identity of a
woman who was living in house of
ill resort at that place and who CON-
mitted suicide there about six weeks
ago by drinking carbolic acid.
Mr.. Barber came to the conclus-
ion, from the pictures of the woman
which he found at Blackjack, that
the woman had been his wife, this
idea being strengthened by the fact
that Mrs. Barber had attempted to
commit suicide by drinking poison
just before she left him one year ago
last February.
Mr.. Barber stated that he and the
suicide had been married six years
ago in May at Hubbard, MINI.
While living at Northome, another
man came between them and she
left her home on February %, 1907,
taking her nursing baby with her.
One son died last February, when
almost four years old. Mr.. Barber
then went to Staples and heard
nothing of his former wife until he
went to Northome last week to look
for the little infant son who is now
nearly two and one-half years old.
While in Northome, Mr.. Barber
became convinced that the woman
who committed suicide at Blackjack
had been his wife. Mr.. Barber would
greatly appreciate any information
leading to the discovery of the
present whereabouts of his little
child.

The closing of the last day on
which candidates for offices can file
for the general election in Beltrami
county brought about a condition
which has not heretofore existed in
politics in this county.
For the first time in the history of
the county there are democratic
candidates for county offices. Here
tofore there has never been any
party opposition against the regular
republican nominees for county
offices. This year conditions are
changed and in addition to there
being opposition for the judgeship,
congressman and member of the
legislature, there is also opposition
for the following county Offices;
10. Harris, republicn nominee
for register of deeds, has as opponent,
F. M. Malzahn, democratic nominee;
A. B. Hazen for sheriff is opposed by
Thomas Tedford; C.. McKusick for
county attorney is opposed by P. ].
Russell, and w. B. Stewart has as
opponent tor superintendent of
schools Miss Vera Cameron.
While it is possible that some of
the democratic candidates may re-
ceive a fair vote, no one yet has ex-
pressed an opinion that any of them
will be elected.
The following are the names of
all the candidates whose names will
appear on the regular county ticket
at the general election November g.:

ODD FELLOWS PURCHASE
IVES RIGHT PROPERTY
Lodge Will Undoubtedly Erect Splendid
Business Block to Replace Its
Present Building.

The Bemidji lodge of Odd Fellows
has purchased the lot adjoining
their property on the north, on Bel
trami avenue, opposite the post
office, and will undoubtedly, in the
near future, erect handsome three
or four-story brick block to replace
the present frame structure, which
occupies their single lot.
A deal was made, some two
months ago, whereby the lodge
became the owner of the Yves
Wright property, 25-foot lot
adjoinin the Odd Fellows lot, the
consideration being in the neighbour
hood of $1,000.
One of tee provisions of the deal
was that Mr.. Wright was to move
his buildings from the property
within sixty days. Mr.. Wright
began the preliminary work of NOV
ing his house and outbuildlng to-
day and will have the lot cleared in
the next two or three days.
The acquisition of the Wright
property gives the Odd Fellows what
they have long desired, desirable
location for a splendid business
block.
While the plans have not been
fully decided upon, there is no doubt
but what the brick building to be
erected will be not less than three
stories high, and will include one of
the finest lodge halls in the state.
The Bemidji lodge of Odd Fellows
is one of the most substantial organ
izations in this part of the state.
The lodge has some eighty members
and is in a splendid financial condi-
ton. The lodge was organized in
the year 1900, and Mr.. Brown, who
died some two years ago at Akeley,
was the first noble grand. There
are eight past grands and there is
harmony and great interest in the
lodge and it's welfare.
Bemidji is proud of her Odd
Fellow lodge.

The cases of Judge Bailey and of
Clerk Fisk, of the municipal court
of his city, against Mayor Pogue,
who refused to sign the warrants for
their salaries for the month of Sep
TENDER, was taken up before Judge
Stanton in the district court at 2
o'clock yesterday afternoon, Mr..
Pogue appearing for a hearing on
why he had not obeyed the writ of
mandamus recently issued to compel
him to sign the warrants. D. H.
Fisk appeared for the plaintiffs and
Graham M. Torrance for the de-
PENDANT.
Mr.. Torrance stated that the petit
ton to the judge for the writ of
mandamus had declared, either with
or without the knowledge of the
defendants attorney, that there was
sufficient money in the city treasury
to pay the warrants at the time Mr..
Pogue refused to sign them.
Mr.. Torrance said that the charter
provides that no money can be paid
out of the fund in the city treasury
unless there is sufficient money in
that fund to pay the warrants and
all other outstanding warrants
against that fund since the adoption
of the charter. He did not believe
that the mayor or the councilmen
knew of this provision at the time
Mr.. Pogue refused to sign them but
that did not prevent the law from
being applied in this case.
Mr.. Fisk then argued his side of
the case. He certainly had not
known that the general fund of the
city treasury was empty at the time
he presented the petition to the
judge and when he had found it out
/ he had omitted that statement from
the peremptory#Fit of mandamus.
The plaintiffs attorney claimed that
a city warrant is no more than
promisory note to pay a debt at
some future time; the giving of the
warrant or note does not Discharge
the debt, that is removed only when
the debt is paid in money.
Mr.. Fisk did not believe that the
disputed section of the city charter
prevented the payment of debts
already contracted, although no new
unnecessary obligations could be
entered against a fund in which
there was no cash. He claimed that
if this clause can be construed to
mean that the officers of the CITY
government are not to be paid as
long as there is no money in the
general fund, the section is unconsti-
tutional.
The plaintiffs attorney then quot
ed the law to the effect that city
shall not 60 over a certain percent
age in its indebtedness, but stated
that it is point of common law that
no matter how great the indebted
ness-of city, it is always necessary
and customary to pay the salaries of
the officers.
Mr.. Fisk cited the case of the
Minneapolis Tribune against Mayor
Ames, of the city of Minneapolis, in
which the Hennepin County court
issued a writ of mandamus compell-
ing the mayor to sign a warrant
for city printing which had been

allowed by the city council and had
been %. K.'d'' by the comptroller,
there being money in the proper
fund to pay the warrant. Mr.. Fisk
commended that Mayor Pogue's duty
in the present case, just as Mayor
Ames' was, is simply ministerial in
| signing the salary warrants for the
| regular city officers.
Mr., Torrance, for the defendant,
then said that the council could
easily create a salary fund and pay
the city officials out of that. He
repeated that he believed that his
honor would not have granted the
mandamus writ if he had known
that there was no money in the
general fund, of the city treasurer.
He had no more to say, as the law
in the charter was plain.
Judge Stanton asked Mr.. Tor
rance whether he believed there was
any difference between a claim aris-
ing from the operation of law and
one created by action of the council.
Mr.. Torrance held that there was
not.
The judge replied that. as he saw
the case, it was simply whether
the mayor should be compelled to
sign warrant on a fund which is
overdrawn or not.
In conclusion, Mr.. Fisk stated
that he believed that the liability
clause referred to those debts which
are illegally established and are
contrary to the charter.
Judge Stanton stated that he
would like time to find a similar
case and took the question under
ADJUSTMENT.
From the evidence presented it
would seem that the whole case
lies on the question asked Mr..
Torrance by Judge Stanton, and
the Interpretation of the following
section of the citV charter:
The resolution providing for the
issue of warrant shall state the
fund on which such warrants shall
be drawn, and every warrant shall
designate the specific purpose for
which it is issued, and the specific
fund upon which it is drawn, and
shall be payable out of none other.
Each warrant shall be payable to
the order of the person in whose
favor it is drawn.
No warrant on any specific fund
shall be drawn or issued until there
is sufficient money in the treasury to
the credit of such fund to pay the
same, together with all other war
rants issued since the adoption of
this charter that may then be out
standing against such fund, and the
council is hereby prohibited from
authorizing the issue or ordering
paid any such warrant, until there is
sufficient money, as aforesaid, in the
treasury, applicable thereto, to meet
such warrant, together with all other
warrants which may be outstanding
against said fund. No officer or
official body of the city shall have
any power to contract or create any
Indebtedness against the city, but
the same shall constitute a personal
claim against the officer or officers
issuing the same. or attempting
to create such indebtedness"

OF the game that's killed each year,
Though there seems to be still plenty
When the hunting seasons's here.
And the reason l eau tell you,
And that l IN right I'll bet,
It's because of all the game seen.
That the hunters-didn't get.
Here's a hunter with his rife,
Starts the first day, out for deer.
Says to wiley as he leaves her,
Don't get meat today, my dear.
But at 10 p. m. that night he dimes
On ham and eggs. you bet,
And he tells his wife and neighbors
Of the deer didn't get.
Here's another with his outfit,
Starts before the break Of day.
Rushes off to the boat landing,
Gets boat. and there but say,
What's the use or good of telling
How 1t rained. how he got wet.
As you leave him he's still telling
OF the ducks, he--didn't get.
I've friend who's fond of chickens,
Thinks they're inst the finest meat.
And he has dandy shot gun
That he knows cannot be beat
Often nights you II find him sitting,
With his family In fret,
As he quite wears out their patience
With the birds he--didn't get.
So you see with all the hunting,
Lots of shooting and much noise,
The game still thrives and increases,
Despite the hunters joys.
And the last of this yea. ; SO Ason
Will find men out hunting yet
And all winter they'll be telling
OF the game they-didn't get,
