AS the animal is nearer to Us than

1t Is thought by some that the roots of

truth is the plant or tree sends It's roots

garden and so robbed the garden vege-,
tables of the fertilizers that we cut the
roots off and dug trench to keep the
tree from sending more. Now, the gar

suppose, that the roots on that side
found a little more and better soil and

themselves rapidly. The tree waxed
strong and every season sent more and
stronger roots into the garden.-John

Excellent Performance.

The performances at the Brink.
man given by Stanley and --Scanlon
last mig hit was by far TIE best
we've seen for some time. The
act is one of exceptional merit and
deserves liberal patronage. "Ha!
Ha! the best I've ever saw" was
on the lips of all who visited the
Brinkman last night. Their musical
novelty, feature which has never
before been exhibited in Bemidji,
was interesting as we'll as anus
ing, the later part being a very good
imitation of a circus calliope. Bring
the whole family for they may never
have the chance to see this show
again. "Lize," the squaw, is good,
and before she adorns the makeup
of an Indian she represents the
tough" to perfection. The moving
pictures are beyond criticism and
the show as whole is the most
worthy that Manager Brinkman has
ever staged.

action of the county board were
used as exhibits. The case was
taken under advisement.
J. H. Ferris, who was convicted
OF the crime of larceny in the second
degree appeared before the court and
made motion for a new trial. This
action grew out of a neighborhood
quarrel and is as follows:
Some cattle owned by his neigh
Dor, Mr.. Emerson, were trouble
some and often found on Ferris
land. Ferris took up the cattle and
IN some way they got away from
him. Mr.. Ferris came to the barn
of Emerson and took the cattle from
there to pound. Later the grand
jury indicted Ferris for grand larceny
and a petit jury convicted him of
grand larceny in the second degree
from which he appeals to the
supreme court.
Seven persons appeared before
the court and were given their final
naturalization papers.
A number of other important
matters were considered, court
adjourning last night.

Proceedings Of City Council.

The second reading of proposed
ordinance ammending ordinance No.
33,licensing circuses and manageries,
whose admission fee is over Csc, was
had at last nights meeting of the
council. The present ordinance
requires the payment of 5000 for the
first day and $50 for each additional
day, the proposed amendment, if
carried will reduce this to 500 for
the first day SIS for each additional
day.
A spirited discussion took place, a
number of the councilmen claiming
that good circus would have no
objection whatever to paying the
city the 5000 license, claiming that
good circuses perferred paying a
high license thereby shutting out
cheaper circuses. No action was
taken.
The final vote deciding this ques-
ton will be taken next Monday
night.
A comittee consisting of G.. E.
Carson, K. McIver and F. NJ. NAL
zahn of the fair association waited
upon the council and asked the
city's assistance towards the fair to
be held here September "a, rs and
26. This was referred to the finance
committee consisting of w. A.Gould,
Thomas Smart and c.. w. Rhea,
they to report at the next meeting.
The city payroll, amounting to
$626.21 was allowed.
Some discussion rose as to the
advisability of the city putting in a
