Fairnont has a large amount of
natural beauty and added to this an

Clever Western Play Coming.

In Wyoming" H. E. Pierce &
Co.'s great play of western ranch
life, will be the attraction at the City
Opera House soon. The selection
of this drama of the West will meet
with wide approval in Bemidji and
the production itself promises to be
one of the most pretentious that
will be seen here during the present
season.
In Wyoming" is genuine
American play, replete with virility
and strength. Willard Mack, the
author, has skillfully combined his
ingredients of dramatic interest with
the proper admixture of comedy,
and has succeeded in evolving a rare
play wherein swiftly alternating
laughs give place frequently to
moments of intense pathos. The
scenes are held near Casper, Wyo-
ming. The management has furni-
shed complete scenic production,
which will be used in its entirety
during the engagement.

test his face began to show signs of
Johnson's punching and in the third
round we'll directed punch started
the blood flowing from Kaufman's
face.
Johnson appeared to be holdin e
himself in reserve and it took con.
slant jibing by the spectators and an
occasional punch from the black
smith to start him going.
When he did let go he played with
Kaufman as if the latter were a
child.
In the ninth round Kaufman
found Johnson's stomach with a
vicious right swing. It was Kauf
mans best blow and convinced the
negro that he had better be care
full.
The contest proved, fight experts
say, that Kaufman should shun
short round affairs. He appeared
to gain strength as the battle pro.
crossed, while Johnson, who appar-
emily had trained none too we'll, be-
gan to show signs of weakening.

vision for a tax one mill for the
benefit of roads and bridges; third
the reapportionment of the state on
a basis of population"
Each one of the three points was
roundly applauded, and Mr.. Dunn
went on to elaborate. He said that
an income tax was fair and Just and
necessary, that roads and bridges
sadly needed an increased fund to
take the place of the recently de-
ceased pork barrel'' bill and that

ing for immediate action.
Another thing happened when
Senator Hackney of St. Paul moved
that it be the sense of the meeting
that the state fair be held for two
weeks in each year instead of one.
He said that the fair is hardly
started before it is finished and that
it could run two weeks proftably
and in line with it's policy of general
development.
The motion went through with a
whoop, and is a tip to the manage
ment. Continued success and grow
ing interests of the fair have com
bined to set this suggestion ahoa1
from many sources and it is believed
among people who know that the
state fair of 1910 will run for a fort

JACK JOHNSON BEsTED

big Dinqe" Got Newspaper" Decision
At the End Of Ten Round
Battle.

San Francisco, Sept 10.-In a con.
test, unique in local prize fight
annals, Jack Johnson was credited
with newspaper" decision over AL.
Kaufman at the end of ten rounds of
fighting yesterday afternoon at
Coffroth's arena. According to the
articles of agreement, if both men
were on their feet when the ten
rounds had been fought, no decision
was to be given. Referee Eddie
Smith, however, stated that John
son was entitled to verdict.
Johnson employed tantaliziug let's
and forceful right uppercuts with
such frequency that Kaufman was
fairly bewildered. Early in the con-
