How to Clean Brass,

A simple and most satisfactory
method of cleaning brass bedsteads,
curtain poles. andirons. etc, is to
dampen a cloth with ammonia, rub 1t
briskly over a piece of pumice soap
and then over the brass This mixture
acts like magic. Have tried 1t on ar
ticles thought to be beyond redemp-
ton. so black had they become, which,
with the least effort, we're restored to
their original beauty. II is necessary
only to dampen the cloth with am
monia, and with a little pumice soap
rubbed on the brass and the work is
accomplished.

Brinkman Theatre Is Popular.

The new Brinkman Family Theatre
is becoming very popular with those
who like clean, clever entertainments,
and the place is crowded to its
capacity every evening with people
who attest their approval by hearty
applause.
During the past week Manager
Brinkman has added to the moving
picture features two vaudeville art
lists, who are high-class. One of
these, Thatcher, the blind musician,
is truly a wonder. He gives musi-
cal number, The Holy City," which
it is doubtful if there is an equal on
the vaudeville stage today. He uses
bells, which he has strapped around
him, and he renders the part in an
artistic manner.
Jefferies, the Irish Dutch coined
ian, has been very we'll received.
Tonight will be the last appear
ance of these two men.
Next week Manager Brinkman will
have Horton and Leroy, cracker

Peterson's New Location.

J. Peterson, Jr., is now located in
his new quarters in the Swedback
block, on Third street, which was
formerly occupied by E. A. Barker.
Mr.. Peterson has large new stock
of onfectionery, fruits, etc., which,
added to his old stock, gives him as
fine line of goods as is to be found
anywhere in northern Minnesota.
The interior of the building where
Mr.. Peterson is located has been
reprinted and repapered and is now
in very attractive condition. The
shelves are all nicely located and the
goods are arranged in a very tasty
manner, and Mr.. Peterson is in
much better shape to serve the
public than ever before.
In speaking of his business Mr..
Peterson says:
q g.
T. MY aim is to give the public the
very best of everything in my line
that the. market affords. Quality,
not price, is considered, and I
intend to make my store the model
store in this line in Bemidji.'
Mr.. Peterson, by his square and
courteous dealing with the public,
has worked up an enviable business
in the retailing of fruits, CONNECTION
cry, Tobacco, books and periodicals,
and in his new location he will UNI
doubtedly add to his already large
trade.

A Rare RAT"

A. Newman, trapper living in
this city, has caught what is probably
one of the most rare specimens of
the muskrat family in existence-a
grey and white rat"
Mr.. Newman was trapping on the
north Turtle river, about six miles
east of Tenstrike, where he had
gone to get rats" and mink.
One morning, the. first of this
week, Newman found the white and
grey rat" in his trap. The rat"
had evidently been in trouble before
as his tail was considerably broken
and one of his front legs was
missing.
Mr.. Newman will have the "rat''
mounted and keep it as curiosity.

ENTIRE NORTHWEST IS
INTERESTED IN BILL
Congressman Steenerson's Bill to Put
the Militia on an Equality With
Regulars.

Crookston Times: National guard
enthusiasts in the Northwest are tax
ing considerable interest in the new
militia measure which Congressman
Stevenson has introduced in the
house, as chairman of the house
committee on militia. It provides
that the national guard is to be
made equal to the regular army.
The fact that the bill provides for
armament, equipment and discipline
of the militia on exactly the same
basis as now, or shall hereafter exist
in the regular army establishment of
the United States, is most signifi-
cant feature of the bill.
In measure it explains why, for
the past year or more, the president
has been subjecting officers of the
cavalry to tests of endurance, and
otherwise strengthening the disci-
pline of the army.
The new militia bill furthermore
provides that in time of peace the
president of the United States may
by order fix the minimum number of
enlisted men in each company, and
subject them to the same tests of
drills and marches.
Congressman Stevenson and 9TH
ers who have been watching the
trend of army affairs have become
convinced that the younger men of
the country, the sons and grandsons
of men who have served in the civil
war, may not care to enter the regu-
lar army, but they will enter the
state militia organizations, providing
that those organizations are placed
on a precise military footing.
The National Guard Association
of the United States as at present
constituted is in the hands of
bright and capable set of men who
are giving special study to military
matters in technical detail.

T. ". RH0DA HEARS FROM
STATE BOARD OF HEALTH.
Explains Delay in Payment for Report.
r. ing Births and Deaths in
-.-. @.4 This County.

-
Clerk of Court F. w. Rhoda has
received . letter from the State
Board of Health, explaining why the
clerks of the different townships
throughout the county have not
received the usual money allowed by
the state for making out the lists of
births and deaths in each township.
This money is overdue, and Mr..
Rhoda has been asked the reason.
The following letter, received by
Mr.. Rhoda, explains itself:
Minnesota State Board of Health,
st. Paul, MINI.
- Jan. 9, 1908.
My Dear Sir-We have a ruling
from. the attorney-general's office to
the effect that the new law relating
to the reporting of births and deaths
(chapter 454, Revised Laws of 1907
provides under section 214l that
the word Record is SYNONYMOUS with
transcript or complete statement or
copy and that therefore it is neces-
sary for the State Board of Health
to return such record or transcript
to each clerk of the district court for
filing in his Office. The last legisla-
ture made no additional provision
for the expense thus thrown on the
State Board of Health in copying
sixty thousand or more records.
The State Board of Health will
prepare these transcripts as rapidly
as possible, and forward same to the
clerks of the district court, but it
will be impossible with the clerical
force of this Office to get such
returns into the hands of said clerks
by the first of February or within
six months of that date. A state
ment Of the number of births and
deaths reported by the registrars of
your county for 1907 will be sent
to you as soon as possible some
time before the first of March.
We will ask you to bear patiently
with us. We will do the best we
can under the circumstances on both
of there propositions.
Yours truly, :.
H. M. Bracken,
Secretary and executive. officer"

fused to continue the contest, and
the managers of the two teams de-
cided to call the game a draw.
The game was fercely contested
from beginning to end. The play
was very rough on both sides, but
the visitors were more foxy" than
Bemidji, and did much foul playing
when the referees attention was
momentarily diverted in another
direction. The referee and the UNI
pire had a real busy time calling
fouls and disengaging players~from
mix-ups.
The two teams lined up as follows:

fast, and the two teams were evenly
matched. The visiting players had
the better of the element of luck,
some of their throws barely making
the basket, while the local players
missed the basket many times by
the very narrowest of margins.
The game was so fast that the
crowd was wrought up to an intens-
ity of enthusiasm that knew no
bounds, and the roofing" was Wig:
orous and continued. ...
The visiting players were very
confident of their ability to defeat
the locals, but after the first few
moments of play, they realized that
they were up against fast five, and
they resorted to every trick known
to the game to get the better of
Bemidji.
Bemidji committed foul on the
first play, but the big Duluth center
missed the free throw.
The locals played a whirlwind
game, Garnet Peterson slipping
through the visiting players and
throwing fine field basket, Brown
following few moments later with
another. These plays aroused the
fighting spirit in the Zenith city
players, and they began fierce charg-
ing, elbowing and kneeing, with the
result that they were penalized many
times, although they ended the half
with the score a tie-1O to 10.
The pace of the first half had told
greatly on Brown, who was playing
the game under a great handicap.
He was injured while practicing
Thursday evening, and although
forced to wear three thicknesses of
surgeons bandages, reaching from
his shoulder to his hips, insisted on
staying in the game. He did we'll,
but was not up to his usual brilliant
standard, and the team was weakened
considerably. Biddinger went in at
guard, few moments after the
second half began, and Collins
played center.
The second half was even more
roughly played than the first half,
and although the visiting players
outweighed Bemidji by at least fff-
teen pounds to the man, the home
players held their own and played
all the stronger.
Markham and Cell played very
we'll, the former throwing three foul
baskets and one field basket during
the last half, and Cell threw one
field basket, the score of the game
ending II to II. ~. Z
For the visiting players, Dinham,
the big center, made all of the points,
except two, Mclean, guard, thow-
ing one field basket.
All of the Bemidji players did good
work. Markham was very fast,
scoring II of the II points made
by Bemidji, Peterson getting two,
and Brown two.
While the game Friday evening
was very close one, it is the con-
census of opinion of those who
watched the contest that with Brown
in good physical condition and play
ing his usual good game, the Duluth
team is not the equal of Bemid!i;
and it is hoped another game can
arranged between the two fves, to
determine which is the better.
