by the members of the local Odd

reception, Wednesday evening, to
Colonel William Crowhurst of Oak.
land, CAL, a colonel on the staff of
the Sovereign Grand Lodge of Odd
Fellows, who will be present at the
meeting of the Rebekah lodge to be
held Wednesday evening.
Colonel Crowhurst is one of the
prominent figures in Odd Fellow
ship circles of the U. S., having been
member of the higher orders for
many years; and his visit to Bemidj il
is considered great honor.
Local Rebekahs and Odd Fellows
are making arrangements to give a
supper and program, with speaking
and music, and a general Odd

the occasion of the reception to
Colonel Crowhurst.

court in this city today, having some
litigation to take up with Judge
Wright.
Mr.. Johnston was county attorney
of Becker county and this (Beltrami)
county, when Beltrami was alta ched
to Becker for judicial purposes, and
he frequently made visits to this
wilderness Of the NORTH" at that
time. 1t is some seven years since
he visited Bemidji, and he was
astonished to note the great ad-
vancement made here during that
time.
Mr.. Johnston is being prominently
mentioned as a candidate for the
republican nomination for Judge of
the district court in the Seventh dis
trict, to succeed Judge L. L. Baxter,
whose term will expire next year.
Mr.. Johnston is very efficient
attorney, and is popular with all
classes in the Seventh district, and
he would undoubtedly be good judi
cial timber.

The kitchen cabinet has a new
candidate for governor. Judge
Charles w. Stanton of Beltrami
county is the offering, and Demo-
cratic sentiment is being tested to
see if he is acceptable. The democ-
racy of Minnesota made its first big
success with Minnesota born ma
terial, and in Judge Stanton the
leaders claim to have a second John
son.
Judge Stanton was one of the
products of the late administration
for it was at the instance and help
of the then Democratic leaders that
third judgeship for the fifteenth
district was created and Judge
Stanton was named to fill it.
John Lind, of Minneapolis, is
generally accepted as the next Demo-
cratic gubernatorial candidate and
the injection of Judge Stanton's
name into the game is causing some
surprise. Chairman Frank A. Days
only explanation is that Democracy
is not in the habit of hanging all its
clothes on one peg"
There are several rumorS" con-
nected with Judge Stanton's name,
one of which accredits him with
being groomed to enter the race for
the republican nomination for judge
of the Fifteenth Judicial district at
the primaries next fall.
"Lumbermens National Bank" Changes
to Northern National Bank"
Effective tomorrow, the name of
the Lumbermens National Bank of
this city is changed to Northern
National Bank" the officials of the
bank having received word from
Washington that the requested
change would take effect tomorrow.
The officials decided sometime
ago to change the name of the bank,
as Lumbermens" was a very un-
desirable name for financial institu-
ton; the word Lumbermens being
conflicting and misleading, as the
institution does a financial business
with all classes of people.
The "Northern National" has
been a national bank for several
years, and is regarded as being
one of the best of the north
country financial institut S.
The bank expects to move, some
time next week, to the new
quarters, in the Bacon block,
corner of Beltrami and Third.

pany was very similar to that Of J.
S. Hanson, the name of G. D.
Kinney being also forged as a
countersign. The checks were in
dorsed on the back with various
names, calculated to deceive one
receiving them.
The men made the rounds of the
local saloons and also visited
Nymore, a few dealers being sus-
picious and not cashing the checks,
but much of the worthless paper
was exchanged for good money, and
the men got away clear, leaving
absolutely no clue to their identity
or their whereabouts.
Several of those to whom checks
were presented claim they could
identity the smooth gentlemen if
they were apprehended, but there
appears to be little chance of getting
them.
1t is believed that the men who
worked Bemidji on these Crookston
Lumber company checks are men,
bers of the same gang that has
worked Bena and Cass Lake, using
checks on the First State Bank of
Grand Rapids, and presumed to have
been drawn by Foley, Welch &
Stewart, the 500 contractors. There
is also PROBABILITY that the men are
the same who realized some $4,000
at International Falls and points on
the range, through the use of checks
on which was used the name of the
Virginia & Rainy Lake railroad.
The forgers made clean get-awa y
here, and there appears to be no
way in which they can be appre-
hended.

ARE DEMOCRATS GROOMING

The latest in the way of poll

many startling propositions, is
that the so-called democratic

This latest "discovery" is con.

LOCAL BUSINESS MEN ARE
WORKED FOR ABOUT $4,000
Two Men Circulate Bogus Crookston Lumber Company
Checks, Many of Which Are Cashed.-Got Away
With the Money, Too.

Local business men have been
victimized in sum variously esti-
mated at from $1,000 to $4,000,
through cashing checks purported to
have been drawn by the Crookston
Lumber company and signed by J. S.
Hanson, chief cashier at the local
Office of the lumber company, the
checks being presented to local bust
ness houses last Friday afternoon
and evening, after the local banks
had closed for the day and would
not be again opened until Monday
morning. The fact that the checks
that were cashed were not genuine
was not discovered by the pages
until presented to the First National
Bank of this city, which handles the
accounts of the Crookston company,
when it was too late to apprehend
the men who issued and passed the
paper.
Two men worked the deal where
by fine bunch of good money was
secured on forged paper, and they
are described as one having been
short, the other tall, with small
growth of whiskers o. their faces,
the tall man being dark and the
small man light, both men dressed
in mackinaws and the regulation
lumberjack suits used in the woods.
The men called on saloonkeepers,
for the most part, and would ask for
drink, rendering a check in pay
ment. These checks were printed
on form somewhat resembling the
regular checks used by the Crooks
ton Lumber company, and the
name signed as cashier of the CON-

FOR YACHTING STREETS
Board Appointed Last Night.-New
Water Ordinance Given Third
Reading and Passed.

The most important thing taken
up at the council meeting last even
ing was the appointing of board of
commissioners. The appointed
board consists of the following men,
bers-George H. French, first ward;
F. M. Miller, second ward; P. M.
Dicaire and J. c.. Parker, third
ward; George McTaggart, fourth
ward.
This board is to act as appraisers,
their duty to be to assess damages
made by vacating streets and alleys
for the 500 right-o If any of
the abutting properties are affected
by the right.of-way it is the duty of
this board to decide and to ascer-
tain how much damages should be
allowed. The board was appointed
by the council members, the alder
men from the respective wards choos-
ing their representative.
The ordinance regarding the
waterworks department was given
its third and final reading and
carried.
The matter of throwing ashes
in the streets was discussed and it
was suggested that the street com.
missioner be instructed to stop Be-
midi citizens from doing this as it
is violation of the city ordinance.
To throw ashes in the streets at this
time of the year spoils sleighing and
does not help the streets when the
snow is gone. 1t is we'll for the
citizens to heed this ordinance be-
fore arrests are ma de.
The alderman present at the
meeting we're Johnson, Hanson,
Gould, Smart, Shannon, Bislar, Rhea
and Schneider.

the Given Hardware company, in
spired by the invigorating ozone
which premeared the atmosphere
this morning, took dash down the

ton as to the identity of the dead
bandits companion, which may lead
to his doing a term in the pen fol-

No reply has been received from
