The supreme chancellor will
arrive in Bemidji at 3:45 o'clock
a. m. from St. Paul, and it IS the
intention of the executive COM
mittee to meet Mr.. Brown at the
depot and escort him to the hotel.
1t IS planned to have a parade
and carriage ride to the different
points of interest about the city in
the forenoon. After dinner Mr..
Brown and visiting Pythians will
De taken for ride on Lake
Bemidji and tributary waters, and
the party will be allowed to rest
after the boat ride until the time
for the meeting in the evening.
The meeting to be held in the
evening will undoubtedly be one of
the most notable gatherings of Pythi-
ans ever held in this section.
There will be many knights from
out-of-town lodges and the meeting
will be an open one and the public
generally invited.
The committee intend securing
the Bemidji and Blackjack bands
to furnish music during the day.
While the plans are still in an
uncompleted stage the various COM
mittees will get together and the
details will be worked out in such a
manner as to assure the success of
the meeting and reception.
It is earnestly requested that the
chairman of each committee call a
meeting of his committee at an early
date at the offices of the T. ].
Miller Co. (this being centrally
located) and that every Pythian do
his or her part to help entertain the
Supreme Chancellor.
The committee requests that
meeting of all the committees be
held on Monday evening.

Supreme Chancellor Commander Brown Head of Pyhans
OF World, Will Honor Bemid With Visit.-Local X
P.'s Preparing Splendid Program

The members of Bemidji lodge,
No. 168, K. of P, and Pythians
generally throughout north central
Minnesota are looking forward
with anticipated pleasure to the
forthcoming visit of Supreme
Chancellor Brown of Texas, who
is the head of the Pythian orders
of the world, and who will make
a general visit of inspection to
Bemidji on Thursday, July 29th.
The visit of the supreme chan
cellor is an honor that is much
sought after by subordinate lodges
and the visit is seldom accorded
to cities the size of Bemidji.
Local Pythians and the men,
bers of Pythian lodges adjacent to
Bemidji realize the significance of
the visit of Supreme Chancellor
Brown and plans are now in pre-
paration to make the visit an event
OF great importance in Pythian
circles of this section.
At recent meeting of the Bemidji
lodge general committe was ap-
pointed to make the preliminary
arrangements for the entertainment
of the supreme chancellor and visit
ing knights who will be present on
July goth, the committee being G.
A. Walker, T. J. Miller, A. F.. Harris
and ]. ]. Opsahl. These gentlemen
met last evening in the Office of T.
]. Miller & Co. and appointed sub.
committees and discussed plans of
entertainment on the occasion of
the visit of the supreme chancellor.
1t was decided to invite all lodges
in northern Minnesota to participate
in the entertainment, and with that
end in view, a number of Pythians
from other lodges than Bemidji
have been appointed to assist the
local Pythians in carrying out the
program. The following committees
were appointed:
Finance-T. J. Miller, William
McCuaig, w. N. Bowser and J. P.
Pogue, Bemidji.

Their Visit Gives Pleasure.

The return to Bemidji of Mr.. and
Mrs. George Flemming, even only
for temporary visit, is a source OF
much pleasure to the many Bemidji
friends of George and his most
estimable wife. .,
Mrs. Flemming, as Miss Wood
ward, lived in Bemidji since the
pioneer days of this place; and was
among this city's most popular and
worthy young ladies, being univer-
sally liked and respected because of
her many estimable qualities.
Mr.. Flemming, from the time
that he first became a resident of
the city, was immensely popular,
being one of those young men
who possess the rare quality of
never making an enemy. Both
have hosts of friends here. and
sincere regret has often been
expressed that they moved to
Billings, Mont, to make their
permanent home.
However, Mr.. Fleming has
succeeded to the fullest measure
in his hardware business at Bill
ings, and while we cannot have
the Flemming's for citizens of
Bemldji, it is indeed a pleasure to
know that they are doing so we'll
"out west"
Mr.. and Mrs. Flemming will
remain here for several weeks.

HAD PLEASANT TRIP IN
VISITING POINTS WEST
Dr.. Marcum and Wife Have Returned
from Attending the Presbyterian
General Assembly.

II have visited many beautiful
points in California, Colorado and
place on the coast, but l cannot say
that I like any of them better than
Bemidji. This city is as good a
place to live in as any community,
anywhere" says DR.. E. H. Marcum,
who has recently returned from an
extended visit through the west and
on the Pacific coast.
DR.. and Mrs. Marcum and Mr..
and Mrs. w. L. Brooks have but re-
Gently returned from a trip to Den
yer, Kansas City, the Grand Canyon.
Los Angeles, San Francisco, Port
land and Seattle, and returned home
on the Canadian Pacific, stopping at
many interesting places in western
Canada.
DR.. Marcum attended the general
assembly of the Presbyterian church
at Denver May 2O-30 and reports a
grand time there. There were
between 800 and 900 delegates and
fully 1000 people were in attendance
at the meeting. There were many
noted speakers.
After the adjournment of the
assembly, the party went to the
Grand Canyon, on the Colorado
river, in Arizona, where they spent
two days, and the doctor rode a
mule down into the canyon, which
is one mile deep and where the
thermometer registered from 90 to
100 degrees in the shade; and the
doctor asserts that it is the hottest
place he ever expects to encounter,
on this earth.
At Los Angeles, they visited
the seaside resorts and Santa
Catalina islands, the scenery being
very beautiful w. l.. Brooks
caught a yellowtail at that place
which gave him an exceedingly
strenuous wrestle of half an hour
before he landed his fish,
At San Francisco the party wa:
favorably impressed by the grea
growth shown since the earth
quake. Nearly all OF the building:
were built of reinforced concrete
which was the only material tina
withstood the terrific shock which
destroyed the principal portion O.
the city.
The Seattle fair, according to thu
doctor, is not exactly the big
thing" which they were expecting
the average attendance being onl!
$4,000 per day. The streets O
Seattle were torn up and Uttered
with rubbish because of the improve
ments which are being made there
The party saw the finish of the New
York-Seattle automobile race, which
was won by Ford machine.
The return trip over the Canadian
Pacific was very interesting one

My Lady'S Hair.
NUMBER AZ.

She walks beauty like the night. as
some romatic singe said; her eyes
give forth starry light, her lips are
of a CHEEKY red; across the floor she
seems to float; she seems to me be-
yond compare, being perfect-till
note the way that she's done up her
hair. She must have toled half
DAY to build that large, unweildy mass
she must have used bale of hay,
and strips of tin, and wire of brass;
her sisters must have helped to braid.
her mother wrought and tinkercd
there, and butler, cook and chamber
maid, all helped to wrestle with her
hair. After all the grinding toll, and
all the braiding and the fuss, the one
effect is just to spoil her beauty,
and make people cuss. She walks in
beauty like the night where nights
are most serenely fair; but j II. Gaze

SEEING UNDER WATER
The ReiPaCtI0E Of Light and the Limit.
ting Angle Of Vision.

One of the most peculiar things in
connection with life under water is
what is known as the limiting angle
OF vision. This applies to fishes,
divers, submarine crews, and, in fact,
any being possessing the power of
sight and desiring to look through
the water at objects in the air. The
effect is not due to defect in Wis
ion, but to the refraction or bend
ing Of fght, and telescope or 9TH
er opt instrument can get around
it.
The effect consist Of the impossible
ity CT seeing anything on the out
side unless the observer directs his
line of sight within forty-eight de-
grees Of the vertical. If forty
nine degree angle Or over is taken,
the surface, no matter how clear the
water, it acts as perfect mirror
and reflects objects at the bottom of
the water, thus not allowing any
thing on the outside to be seen.
The consequence of this property is
the most startling Of all, for every
thing on the outside can be seen in
the cone described by the forty-eight
degree angle from the eye. This
shows all outside objects huddled to-
gether and appearing high in the air.
Thus, if one dives into the middle of
a wide river. on looking up the banks
will appear close together but. at a
great distance from the observer,
high in the air.
This angle is called the "critical"
angle and of course varies with the
two media in contact.
If one desires to make the expert
ment square glass box or an aqua
rum will answer very well. Sus-
pend this from the ceiling or sup
port it on a wall bracket and look un-
der it at an angle. The phenome-
non will be observed as indicated.
The clearer the water the more
clearly will things appear.-Chicago

Pistol -TOtiDg.

The Texas legislature at its latest
session imposed a tax Of so per cent
on the gross receipts derived from
sales of pistols in that State. This
was done with a view to making pis-
tol-toting more expensive. In 9TH
er communities it has been sought
to make the act Of carrying deadly
weapons concealed a felony punish
able by confinement at hard labor
in the penitentiary. Another rene
dy considered is to make it felony to
manufacture, offer for sale, or have
in possession a pistol the barrel of
which is less than eighteen inches in
length.
Give fool who is coward and
an egotist, and then make this crea-
ture drunk, and put a pistol in his
pocket, and the chances are seven of
possible ten that there will be a
murder in that fellows haunts be-
fore midnight. There are more
homicides of that sort perpetrated
in this land of the free every calen-
dar month Of the year than all the
casualties Of battles on land or sea Of
the late war with Spain. The coun-
try is got to be too high-toned to le-
galiy hang its murderers, and hence
there has grown up the demoraliZing
practice of lynching them. Trials in
courts of criminal judicature are too
frequently travesties on justice.
Bribery and perjury are too COM
mon. Perverted sentimentallty has
too free swings. Criminal lawyers
practice too RELY the infamies of
shysters. The right Of appeal adds
enormous weight to the leaden feet
of justice. We have interpreted the
gospel. Better ten men be shot
down in street fight than that one
red-handed murderer pay the pen
atty of his crime on a gallows erected
by the law.
Next to drunkness, the cowardly
practice of pistol-toting is RESPONSE
for more illegal violence in this coun-
try than any other cause, and the two
go together. Few sober men carry
a pistol, and perhaps 80 per cent of
the pistol toters are moved to the
habit by their indulgence in too much
fighting whiskey. The defect of the
American character is the lax admin
istration of the criminal statues.
1t is the immunity from punish
ment that emboldens our criminal
classes. Stop pistol-toting and
great advance will be made in civil
ization. Washington Post.

TIE TIDES.
How The Attraction OF The Neon Acts
UpOn The Water.

The tides have been studied with
great care and labor during three
centuries and are not yet complete
ly understood by astronomers, says
Edgar Lucien Larkin, of the Lowe
observatory. Any point on earth
moves from west to east around to
the same location in space and in q
period of twenty-four hours. The
moon goes around the earth in a
period of 2732166 days. Let the
moon and a star be on the straight
line at exact noon. Then Of course,
they would cross the meridian togeth-
er. In twenty-four hours the star
will cross it again, but you will have
to wait fifty-two minutes longer for
the moon to cross, it having moved
eastward through a space requiring
that length of time to traverse.
The moon attracts by the law of
gravitation and, being a dead planet,
has no effect on attractive force,
And this attraction heaps up wat
er directly under it in the ocean.
But there is another heap on the
exact opposite side Of the earth
away from the moon.
This is because the moon attracts
the whole earth away from water,
leaving it behind in a heap or pile of
elevation. The tide day is therefore
tWenty-four hours and fifty-two min
utes long. High tides will be at
both sides of the earth at the same
time and Of course, low tides at dis
tances of 80 degrees each way, or at
points one-fourth the circumfer-
ence Of the earth from the high |
heaps.
Tides are caused by difference in
the intensity Of the moons attrac-
ton on water on the side of the
earth nearest to it and farthest away
and also between these attractions
and the attraction exerted on the
center of the earth. The sun also
causes tides. These combine with
the lunar and call into use the most
intricate mathematics to compute
heights and times Of high and low
tides. s.-Exchange.

you will not spend it wisely |

except your Sister Annie has got
the measles, which we think
would spread among other girls if

Dent Walt for MaCddam.

We believe heartily in stone roads;
but the notion that no road except a
stone road can be good road, has
done great harm. Believing that
every community should have just
the highest type of road it can afford
we are very positive that the things
for most communities to do is to be-
gin with the roads they have and
make them better. Where gravel
road, cost ore-third as much, or a
sand clay road, costing perhaps one
tenth as much, will answer the needs
of the neighhorhood just as well as
in many cases it will it is folly to
try to build a macadarn road.
Let US begin at the beginning and
develop gradually. Asphalt, brick,
gravel, sand-clay, simple
earth-alI these roads may be good
roads. and there are localities where
each Of them will be the best road.
Because we cannot cover our roads
with stone is no reason we should
give them over to mudholes ard
bitches.

else. Progressive Far

FdFll vs.. Town Life.

Life on the farm is not now near
so isolated or burdensome as it was
in former times even up to a very
few years ago, and day by day con-
veniences are being added to it to
make it pleasanter. With the good
roads the rural telephone, the rural
free delivery Of mail the advance in
the public school system, country life
is now giving many Of the advantages
of town life-really it now has some
that town residents did not enjoy
just few years ago. 1t is strange,
with all these things, coupled with
the independence and free mode Of
living the farmer enjoys, that there
should not be rush from the town to
the country, the latter life seeming so
much preferable to that in the towns.
There are more inducements to-day
than ever before to people to remain
on the farms, yet there is probably
more abandonment Of farm life than
ever before-a condition which, we
agree, is hard to understand. With
the man who loves independence,
freedom from the conventionalities
Of artificial life and who can luxuri-
ate in the thought that he lives at
home there can be nothing better or
more ideal than life on a well-mana-
ged farm. The man who lives on a
farm has to Work-of course he does
if he expects to make anything out
of his farm. Bat that is no more
than the town man has to do. The
farmer who moves to town with the
expectation Of living a life Of ease
will be greatly disappointed. Let
him ask the merchant, the banker or
the professional man of the town as
to the town life aud the answer will
be, work, hard work every day in the
wear. With the town man there is
no season of rest after the laying by
of crops no days with nothing to do
after the years crops have been
gathered, no season Of forced idle
ness, because of weather unsuitable
to work in the fields; but it is one
season of workmanship work
from the first day Of January until
the last day Of December Of each and
every year. The farm life has ad-
vantages that many do not yet real
ize.-Charlotte Observer.
