A visitor to the city this week who
has a son attending n of the sectar-
ian colleges of the state, informed us
that his reason for sending his boy to
the institution in question was that he
wished him to be under the best NOR
al influences" We thought this a
funny statement in view of the fact
that the sectarian colleges are, we
think, without an exception located in
saloon towns, while Brookings and
Vermillion, where the two chief state
institutions are located, have been
without saloons for years and are
known as the ~cleanest towns in South
Dakoa.

There is more catarrn in this sec' tion of the country than all other diseases put together, and until the last few years was supposed to be incurable. For a great many years doctors pronounced it a local disease and prescribed local remedies,I and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it incurable. Science has proven catarrh to be a constitutional disease and therefore requires constitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co.,, Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional cure on the market. It is taken internally m doses from 10 drops to teaspoonful. It acts directly on the blood and mu- cous surfaces of the system. They offer one hundred dollars for any case it fails to cure. Send tor cir culars and testimonials.

OPEN SEASON FOR KILLING
DEER AND MOOSE, NOV. 10
Indications Are that Deer Will Be More Plentiful This
Fall than for Many Years Previous-Muskrat :
Season, November Is.

The open season for lawfully
killing deer and moose opens We'd
nesday, November 10, and lasts to
and including November 30th; and
already local hunters are looking
up locations where there will be
advantage in getting the big game. -
That much more interest than in
former years is being taken in hunt
ing big game in this section is
shown by the large number of in
quiries which local parties are re-
ceiving from residents of other parts
of Minnesota, and also from non
residents, asking as to the prospects
for good hunting.
Reports from farmers in the
wooded sections, lumbermen and
timber cruisers are to the effect that
this community was never so plenti-
fully supplied with deer as at the
present time, refuting the prediction
that the deer disappear with the
advent of settlers. While this is
true as to cleared communities, yet

Trapping Season, Nov. IS.


Something of a controversy has
arisen among local trappers as to
what is the lawful time in which
muskrat, mink and other fur-bear:
ing animals may be trapped in pur-
suance to the state law regulating
the open season for these animals.
Last winter, the legislature
adopted two laws relative to this
matter. One of them, known as
Chapter 317-H. F. No. $751;" was
approved April FL, 1909. The
other, "Chapter 412-S. F. No
321," was approved April b. 1909,
III. F. No. 518" provides that nc
person shall take, catch or kill any
mink, muskrat or racoon between

day of November, following.

the wooded sections are still in
habited by the deer, in large
numbers.
There has been some conflict of
opinion as to whether the law as
now construed required that all
hunters, whether hunting in their
own counties or elsewhere, shall
procure licenses. The law states in
one section that the license provision
shall not apply to any resident of
said county," In another section
the law provides that all persons
shall procure licenses as provided
by this chapter" 1t IS generally
believed that no license is required to
hunt in ones own county.
The law this season covers the
same ground as last year. Each
hunter { when the proper license is

Haircut Now Costs 35 Gents.

Beginning with next Monday, the
price of haircut in the barber
shops of Bemidji will be IS cents,
this agreement having been reached
by the proprietors of the six barber
shops at a meeting which was held
Tuesday night. ~.s-.---,-
This action was taken because it
was deemed necessary on the part of
the BARRIERS. They state that the
advance in the price charged for the
rent of shops and other high ex-
penses made conditions such that
more revenue was necessary in order
to conduct barber business success
fully.
1t is also stated that the BARRIERS
in other towns are charging IS cents
for haircuts.
