IVES WRIGHT.

The members of the Methodist
and Presbyterian Sunday schools,
with several members of the congre-
cations of both churches, picnicked''
at the outlet of the Mississippi
river, on the east shore of Lake
Bemidji, yesterday and reports are to
the effect that the occasion was a
most enjoyable one to both old and
young.
The picknickers rendezvoued at
the Presbyterian church in the
morning and were lowed over to the
outlet by the North Star and barge.
The entire day, until late in the
afternoon was spent at the outlet,
which is one of the most beautiful
camping spots on Lake Bemidji.
There were foot races, boat races, a
splendid lunch and an all-around
good-old fashioned time.
The crowd returned home in the
evening.

minnes0ta's Great Fair.

In making your plans for the mex
month you can hardly afford t.
overlook the fact that the Minnesota
state fair, the greatest show of it.
kind on the continent. will take
place at Hamline Aug 81 to Sept. S
and that it will be bigger and better
than ever before.
There is no need of exaggeratior
in describing the Minnesota state
fair. It is a credit to the North
Star state that it should have the
best state fair in the country, and
this fact is generally conceded. But
one other agricultural fair in America
even approaches it, and that is the
Toronto show, which it is necessary
to assign to second place.
The fair is truly representative of
the whole state, of all its people, of
all its industries and of all its
resources. It has always been that,
but this year, under the initiative of
c. N. Cosgrove and his assistasts, it
will be bigger and more entertain
ing exhibit than it has ever been
before. Because this is the semi
centennial of statehood special effort
has been made, and the result is
certain to be a truly marvellous
exposition of Minnesota's vast
wealth and progress. . .-
The state fair has always had the
liberal support of the people of
Minnesota. and this will furnish no
exception to the rule. 1t deserves
popular support, but state pride
alone would not provide 1t; it's sup
port comes because it is worth

FAVORS GUARANTEE
OF BANK DEPOSITS
Mr.. Bryan Discusses Subject in
Speech at Topeka, Kan.

Topeka, Kan, Aug. 2S-William J.
Bryan discussed the guarantee OF
bank deposits in speech here. He
said, in part:
"A bank asks deposits on the the
DRY that the depositor is sure of the
return of his money and the laws
ought to make the facts conform to
the theory. The depositor, the COM
munity and the banker himself will
be benefited by legislation which will
give to every depositor the assurance
that that which is committed to the
keeping of the bank will be available
to meet his needs at any time. Such
is not the case today, for, while all
banks are reas onably secure, they are
not absolutely so. This statement can
be verified in several ways.
'First-The president has advocated
postal savings bank and his post
master general, in presenting an argu-
ment in it's favor, pointed out that
many millions are sent to European
savings banks every year by Amer
leans of foreign birth who prefer to
trust the state institutions of the ma
lions beyond the sea rather than the
private banking institutions here.
''Second-It is known that a consid-
cradle amount of money is in hiding,
the amount increasing with the ap-
proach of panic or business depres-
sion.. This money is not only with
drawn from active use, but is likely
to be withdrawn just at the time when
money is most needed and when the
withdrawal will increase the financial
disturbance. It is impossible to rea-
son with fear. It is futile to tell men
that they will probably get their
money. The moment the depositors
suspect a bank they hasten to destroy
its solvency. Distrust, and distrust
alone, can explain the hiding of money
Willing to Lose Interest.
"Third-The increase in the issue of
money orders, payable to the order of
the purchaser, is another evidence
that people are seeking greater secur-
fty for their money. The banks will
those who buy money orders prefer to
lose the interest and, in addition to
that, pay the price of the money order
in order to secure the governments
guaranty.
"Fourth-National banks confess
that their banks are not secure when |
they oppose the guaranty of state
banks on the ground that it would |
lessen the deposits in national banks
and state bankers confess that their !
banks are not secure when they op-
lose a national guaranty system on
the ground that it will draw deposits |
away from state banks.
"Fifth-The experience of Oklahoma !
furnishes conclusive proof that depos-
itors do not feel that their money is
safe in unsecured banks. On Dec. II,
1907, the Oklahoma legislature enact |
ed depositors' guaranty law, which
became operative Feb. 4, 1908. Five |

fifty four national banks, had come un-

|VUaPILLAT Will MAKE
A VISIT TO THIS CITY
Has Created Sensation All Through the
East by His Ability to Remove Cat

Troubles With]His New
Discovery.

If reports are true, Bemidjl

vi .ual who is fast establishing a
national reputation for himself.
The man in question is w; Vur-
p,llat, W, has been IN Albany, N.
Y. during the past month and has
ar ,usel that city by his theories
nj the extensive sale Of his pre-
paration.
Vurplllat is president of the Vur-
pillat Medicine Co., of South Bend,
Indiana, and has made a fortune
within the, past few years by the
sale of his preparations which are
claimed to be very unusual, and
which are said to accomplish remark
able results. ~ :.
+ Vurpillat spends his time travel
ing from city to city, introducing
these remedies and in this manner
he has acquired the fortune he now
possesses.
He is said to be very remarkable
character and man with eccentric
ideas; one of his beliefs is that a
certain part of his income should be
devoted to charitable work, and he
is said to give thousands of dollars
to the poor in each city that he
visits. -
His charitable work is original, as
he is continually devising new
methods for making his money give
the most pleasure and relief possible.
The most remarkable feature of
Vurpillat's work is what is known as
his Three Minute removal of Deaf
ness, and his almost instantaneous
relief of rheumatism and paralysis. -
In cities visited by him with in the
past year he has appeared nightly
before large audiences and offered to
make any one hear within less than
three minutes, by the use of his New
Discovery, if they wonld come upon
the stage. Reports from Pittsburg,
Detroit Cleveland and other cities
seem to indicate that Vurpillat actu.
ally did what he claimed.
The accounts of his work appeared
in all the leading "dailies" of the
country, and people have focked to
him from all parts. The sale of his
preparations is said to reach enorm-
Gus proportions within a week after
Vurpillat arrives in the city.
Whether he will be as successful in
Bemidji as elsewhere remains to be
seen.
