The experiment of running the
weekend train from the Twin Cities
to International Falls and returning
Sunday night, as indicating whether
a train of this character would be a
paying investment or not, has proven
that, while the first summers trial
of the train was not very profitable,
yet the patronage was of such a
nature as to indicate that the trains
should be continued"
This assertion has been made by
a prominent Northern Pacific official,
in response to question as to
whether or not the new train, which
has been running out of St. Paul
every Saturday night, since May 29,
was a paying proposition.
The night train was put on as a
direct result as a request made by
the members of the Bemidji Com
mercial Club for a night train
each way from Bemidji to the Twin
Cities, each night of the week.

st. Paul, Aug. 10.

-.
Mr.. L. G. Pendergast, st. Paul,
Dear Sir:-I beg to acknowledge
receipt of your favor of the 10th
ultimo, extending to me an invita-
ton from the mayor and the city
council of Bemidji to meet with the
First Minnesota Association on the
occasion of their next annual meet
ing next June, which invitation [
found here upon my return to the
city, few days ago.
1T would give me much pleas
ure indeed to meet with the vet
Grams of the old First Minnesota
on the occasion named, but the
time is so in advance that I am
unable to say what my. business
engagements may be at the time
set, and for that reason cannot
promise definitely to be present.
However, if I am in the west and
can arrange matters I will be glad
to accept.
With sincere thanks for the invi-
tation, I am, l~- a.
Yours truly,
Jas. J. HILL"

"Bill") has been in the city from
Crookston for several days past talk
ing insurance to our people.
Mr.. Krouse is representing one of
the best life insurance companies in
existance, and no statement which he
makes is in any way misleading, nor
does he in any way misrepresent the
excellent qualities of his company.
On the other hand, Mr.. Krouse is
very frank and sincere in his re-
marks, and being man of excep.
tionally good qualities, he will no
doubt do nice business in the city.

ors who came down this morning
and spent the day in this city on

Brinkman Family Theater.

The performances at the Brinkman
are of the higher quality and are
sure to appeal to all who witness
them. Booth and Gordon are put
ting on an act that is certainly a
meritorious one, both from comic and
educational points. The motion
pictures which Manager :Brinkman
is showing his patrons these days
are above reproach in all particulars
and we recommend all to 60 there
and spend pleasant evening.
Many pleasant things are in store
for all those who attend the theatre

Bernard frustrating at Sylvan Lake.

A. G. Bernard, formerly of Cass
Lake but more recently president of
the National Drainage League, with
headquarters at Washington D. c.,
is now rusticating at the home of w.
B. Jones on Sylvan Lake, Cass
county, where it is hoped he will
recover his wonted strength, which
was greatly impaired as result of a.
recent operation. - ,.... .-
Mr.. Bernard left Cass Lake some
two years ago to assume the presi-
dency of the National Drainage
League, at a munifcent salary re-
ported to be $500 per year. There
was waited from Washington, at
intervals, fragments of information
concerning "A. G." and his efforts
in behalf of drainage and also his
work in behalf of the village of Cass
Lake and that vicinity relative to
the adjustment of the proposed
National Forest Reserve.
About five months ago, Mr.. Ber-
nard was taken violently i'll and
subsequently went to St. Paul where
he entered a hospital.
On July 4th, DR.. R. F. Whetston,
a former resident of Cass Lake.
performed an operation on Mr.. Ber-
nard for relieffrom gall stones. Since
that date Mr.. Bernard has improved
slowly and, although being but a
shadow of his former self, he is said
to be improving.
He decided to return to the pine
laden aid of northern Minnesota so
he made arrangements with his
friend, w. B. Jones to 20 Sylvan
lake. - .~ ~ 20
Mr.. Bernard has many friends in
northern Minnesota and all hope he
will soon be able to resume his
wonted activity.

Ives Has Opposition All Right.

Says the Crookston Journal, con-
corning a recent visit to Crookston
of Harry Ives, who is a candidate
for the republican nomination for
representative from this legislative
district:
Harry E. Ives was a transient
visitor in the city last night. Mr..
Ives candidacy for a seat in the
legislature from this district is
progressing very favorably. There
can be no opposition to him any
more than there can be found a man
in the district who is more qualified
to perform the duties of the Office
The above certainly is a broad
assertion concerning Mr.: Ives,

fellow, but the writer remembers

MATERIAL ARRIVING FOR
TELEPHONE IMPROVEMENT
Local Manager for Northwestern Com
pany Receives First Shipment of
Material for Improvement.

The first shipment of material
which will be used in the rebuild
ing of the Bemidji exchange of the
Northwestern Telephone Exchange
company, was received yesterday
and is being placed in advantage
Gus points for the convenient putting
in of the new improvements.
For some time past there has
been a united complaint relative
to the inefficiency of the service of
the local exchange, with the result
that the shortcomings of the out-of-
date paraphernalia used on the
local telephone system has been so
forcibly impressed on the officials
of the company that they agreed to
better the service. ..-.-s,.5
No complaint has ever been
made against the local manager; Mr..
Bang has been uniformaly courteous
and obliging to all patrons of the
service, and has did all in his
power to give the people the best
possible results from the exchange.
Judging from the activity be-
being exhibited by the company
in shipping new material here,
Bemidji exchange will soon be put
on an equal standing with the
service rendered patrons of the CON-
pany in other cities.

There certainly is opposition to Mr..

BUFFALO PIGEONS
LIBERATED HERE

A flock of 576 carrier pigeons were
liberated from pens at the office of
the Adams Express Company, at the
corner of Walnut and Seventh streets,
Sunday morning. The first flock was
let loose at 7:45 and others were set
free at intervals until 1915.
The destination of the pigeons is
Buffalo, from which place they were
shipped to Canton, to be liberated in
an effort to establish a record for a
homeward flight.
Those in charge of the birds appre-
hensive of the outcome of fight
through the smoke about the Lake re-
gions, hesitated somewhat in setting
the birds free. However, telegram
was received noting favorable wealth
er conditions at Buffalo.
A message from Buffalo is now
awaited announcing the arrival of
the birds. On Tuesday, another flock
Of IA will be liberated from the
Adams Express ONCE. Several days
ago, flock was set free from Lorain
and their fight was greatly hamper
ed by the smoke.

RUSH ORDERS FOR
TROOPS ON BORDER

Galveston, Tex, Sept. 13.-Rush or
ders for more troops on the Mexican
border were received today from Gen
eral Meyer, U. S. A., who is person.
ally investigating conditions. Two
troops of cavalry have started along
the Rio Grande and it is understood
two more troops will go forward to-
morrow.
Advises from Del Rio say there are
six companies Of Mexican mounted
soldiers ON the Mexican side of the
Rio Grande and that four more COM
panies are on their way to the border.
Ten Mexicans carrying arms were ar
rested last night while attempting to
cross the river into Mexico at point
north of Laredo. They are being held
as revolutionists. Information re-
ceived by the Mexican authorities
lead to the belief that an outbreak
will be precipitated on September 16,
Mexican Independence Day.

KILLED
While Fighting For Last
Drink Of Water in
in Camp
FATE FRANK DADISH

Bellefontaine, O., Sept. 13.-Fighting
over the last drink of water left in
camp, the fiery drough having dried
up all the wells and springs in the
vicinity, Frank Dadish was shot and
killed by two men at the Ohio Elec-
trio railways construction camp to-
day. Dadish was married and wanted
the water for his wife who is living
in the camp. The police are seeking
Mike Rulu and John Karica who are
charged with the shooting.
In the last two weeks it has be-
come serious proposition to supply
the camp with water. Wells and
springs failed because of the drouth
and men have had to tramp three
miles to the Lewiston reservoir with
pals to obtain a supply. This morn
ing only enough water for one drink
was left in the camp. Rulu and Ka-
rica arrived at the pail just as Dad
ish was pouring the last bit of water
into a cup to carry to his wife. The
other men demanded that he divide
up the water. He refused and a fierce
fight followed during which Dadish
was shot. The water Dadish had been
saving for his wife was spilled ON tbs
ground and no one got it.

Saratoga in an automobile from Troy.
From that time on the situation stop

1t is known that Mr.. Root believes
political expediency demands Govern
Or Hughes denomination. 1t is also
known and can be stated positively
that President Roosevelt is of the
same opinion and has permitted his
friends TO know it.
Conferences between the various
members of the anti-Hughes combin-
alton have been going on all day. APP
parently they have tentative plan OF
campaign but this may all be knock
ed in the head when a general con-
ference and round up tomorrow night

The combination plans to have half
a dozen candidates for governor go
before the convention including
Speaker James w. Wadsworth, Jr.,
and Senator Horace White.
Apparently the combination could

trate upon another candidate as big
as Hughes.

JEWISH
Organizations Refute the
Charges of Police
Commissioner
ABOUT JEW CRIMINALS

New York, Sept. 13.-Because an ar
ticle in the September North American
Review over the name of Police Com
missioner Bingham, stated among 9TH
er things that perhaps fifty per cent
of the criminals in New York were
Jews an Indignation meeting was held
this afternoon. Several hundred del
egates from the Federation of Jew
Iish Organizations were present and
there were addresses by the Rev.
Madison G. Peters. DR.. Adolph Ra-
din, Jewish chaplain in penal insti-
tutions, Representative Henry M.
Goldfogle and others.
A set of resolutions was adopted in
which 1t was declared that Commits
sioner Bingham had made the state
ment with malice aforethought and
used the power and authority vested
in him by the people against the peo-
pie themselves in pondering to his per-
sonal prejudices.
DR.. Radin gave figures He said
that in 1905 there were in the peni-
tentiary TAG prisoners out of which
there were only 81 Jews. In the work
house the same year there were 49,
| 697 prisoners of which 1883 were Jews.
In 1907 there were in the workhouse
17,471 prisoners Of which 1910 were
Jews ard in Sing Sing 1850 prisoners
of which 143 were Jews. The per cent
of Russians among them is small, said
the speaker-we are entitled to more
and the audience laughed. At Auburn
there was only five per cent of Jewish
prisoners and at Dannemora out OF
1886 prisoners only 80 were Jews.
Bingham has all the prejudices
against the Jews that all soldiers
have" said Rev. DR.. Madison c. Pc
ters. "He is OF the opinion that all
Jews are towards and have taken no
part in the fighting for and the up
building of the republic"
He said that the Jews had given
much to the war of the revolution,
and there were 1900 OF them in the
armies of the north and south in the
Civil war and that they had taken
their part In the Spanish
war.
