has been overcome, and as the
other material is arriving with the

further delay. and Bemidli will soon
be the possessor of very fine solid

drew the plans for the Bemidji

and Walls Are Going Up Rapidly.-Will Be
Splendid Structure.

The new Carnegie S12, 500 library
for the construction of which
Andrew Carnegie donated to the
city of Bemidii the entire amount of
the cost thereof, is beginning to
assume the proportions of a SUBJ
stantial structure, and ere another
fortnight rolls around the building
will present "solid front" of Bed
ford stone, reinforced at the back
with brick.
The site of the new library build
ing is at the foot of Fifth street, in
the central portion of the Bemidji
city park, and is on the banks of
Lake Bemidji, being so close to the
lake as to command a fine view of
the prettiest part of that body of
water.
Thomas Johnson, who has the
contract for the erection of the
building, has finished the basement
and the walls to the first floor and
is pushing the work to finish the
superstructure and have the same
enclosed before cold weather sets in.

the crime of grand larceny in the
second degree, the defense of O. ].
Shinn was commenced in district
court this morning.
Yesterday afternoon, Attorney
General Simpson, who is handling
the case for the state, produced wit
ness to prove his contention that

$355.42 from the J. NeiIs Lumber
company; had deposited that
amount in the First National bank
to his own personal account, and
the signature on the checks given
by the company to Shinn was ident-
flied as Mr.. Shinn's other miner
points in the case being also brought
out by the evidence. -
The state rested yesterday after
noon, with the specific understand
ing that the state could, during the
defense, introduce certain evidence
named.
This morning, DR.. w. R. Morri
son was called as the first witness
for the defense. The. doctor testi-
fed that he had been Mr.. Shinn's
physicin during certain months of
the summer of 1908 when the Neils
transaction took place; that Mr..
Shinn had been very i'll; was bothered
with headaches. and was not, in
fact, himself"
In his own behalf, Mr.. Shinn
entered a general denial of the
charge of grand larceny, claiming
that he was very sick at the time
the Neils transaction took place in
his Office, and claimed that he had
not written his name on the backs
of the checks given by the Neils
people, on which signature the

"A WYOMING GIRL" At
The CITY OPERA HOUSE
Western Drama, Which Comes Here
Well Recommended, Will Appear
Here Monday Night.

"A Wyoming Girl,", one of the
best of the western plays, will be at
the City Opera House next Monday
evening.
The Rushville Banner says of the
play:
A Wyoming Grip was presented
last night at the Rushville Opera
House, and the show proved to be
the best western drama ever played
here.
Miss Daisy Hazelton, who is
starring in the part of Scissors
gave beautiful and picturesque
creation of true western girl. The
lights and shades of the untutored
girl were handled with great care,
and her devotion to herweak-minded
father received much merited ap.
plause.
I "Miss Lillian Douglas, who
plays the part Helen Denver, The
School Marm,' gave strong
dramatic portrayal of the part.
Her scenes with the Mexican, her
divorced husband, were particu-
larry strong and worked the audi
ence to high pitch OF excitement.
"'Mr. William Leroy, who plays
the part of George Washington
Augustus N,bbs, is certainly the
best black face comedian that has
appeared here for many years.
The company carries al, new and
appropriate scenery.
The specialties between acts are
the best line of vaudeville.
Mr.. C. Fred Daum; the general
manager, will always find a hearty
welcome should he play return
date here"

The county's steam rollers are to
receive the best of attention when IN
need of repairs, according to the fol-
lowing report Of the road committee
adopted on Friday evening:
Your Committee Or Roads, Bridges,
Garbage, Parks and Public Improve
ments beg to recommend that here
after when there is any machinery
which needs repairing, such as steam
rollers, rock crushers and so forth,
which the county employees cannot do,
that a tender be called for, either
by advertising in the newspaper, or
submitting -by letter to the different
firms who are capable in doing such
work. asking for bid ON same and that
the bid be referred to the board for
their consideration.
We would also recommend that here
after when steam roller, rock crush
ers or any other machinery, which is
being used by the city and county,
that as soon as in need of repair, it
shall be repaired at once, as it is the
policy of the board to keep all machin-

DR.. BELL. AT
THREE TODAY

The public is cordially invited to DR..
Frederic Bell IS free lecture to be given
this afternoon at clock on the la
mai of the Hawaiian Hotel.' The theme
for the lecture is taken from the Bible,
eff Man Die, Shall He Live
Againa"
DR.. Bell has long been in the lecture
field, having given up the pulpit for
that purpose. In the days of his ortho-
doxy, when he was pastor of the Park
Avenue Methodist church, Brooklyn,
n. Y. D. L. Moody, the famous evan
gelist said of him: 'sDr. Frederic
Bell has often been of great service
in assisting Mr.. Sankey and myself in
our work of saving souls. gladly
recommend him to all Christian work
ers in England and elsewhere. He is
a wonderful power.
Since the above encomium by the
famous Moody, DR.. Bell has left the
pulpit for the broader platform of the
occult and it is of this science that he
will speak this afternoon. DR.. Bell
possesses great eloquence and his lee
ture merits the attention of all think
ing people.

One Of the
Essentials

Of the happy homes Of to-day is a vast
fund of information as to the best methods
of promoting health and happiness and
right living and knowledge of the worlds
best products.
Products of actual excellence and

One of the products of that class, of

The news that there was trouble at
Kahuku was something of surprise.
Maxine had given out the word when
the strike was first started a couple of
weeks ago that the Higher Wage Asso-
citation would countenance no rioting
or violence, and any striker found VIC
lating this would be prosecuted by the
Higher Wage Association.
There were calls from down country
for autos to go down to various planta-
tions for the use of subleaders of the
agitators, SO that they could get about

What j. P. Cooke Says.

"Many of the plantations have adopt
ed the method of burning over their
fields before cutting them,'' said j. P.
Cooke yesterday. This does away with
all the trash and makes it so easy for
men to go in and cut the cane that we
can get along at saving of forty per
cent in the cost of handling. Fewer
men do the work The fire does not
hurt the cane 1t really improves it
by increasing its glucose properties.
Then, again. advanced plantations no
longer strip the cane, thus saving about
fifteen per cent
Speaking of the general situation,
Mr. Cooke said: cit looks good to me.
/ feel greatly encouraged as to the final
result. At the planters meeting to-
day every man was a unit for the pres
ent policy. There viii be no giving in.
In the end we shall have still further
