Fire Department Quarters Being Exten-
sively Improved.

Bemidji's new and modern city
Jail is nearing completion and will
be ready for occupancy by January /,

were drawn by Harry Reynolds, the
local architect, while H. F. Bos.

the original contract called for the
completion of the building not later
than December IS, Mr.. Bosworth
has been able to have it continued

are three apartments, consisting of a
womans ward, mems ward and a cell
room, in which will be placed the
steel cages. There will be two cells,
and each is to hold two prisoners.
The building is being built of
brick, and the floors are to be con.
crete. Heavy iron bars have been
placed at all windows.
Another repair which has long
been wanting, but which has been
neglected heretofore, has been, at

city opera house dressing rooms.
The condition of these rooms has
for several years past been the cause
of annoyance.
Bemidji is soon to be in a position
to boast of the best equipped fire
department in northern Minnesota.
Additional space has been given to
the fire apparatus room, and two
stalls placed therein. The doors 81

harnesses. The floor of these stalls
are concrete and are to be as SAM
tary as possible.

CLEARBook IN L|MEL|GHT
Follows Farmers Institute With Call
For Doctor and More Stores.

Clearbrook, MIMI, Dec. ~
TIE first farmers institute ever
held in this town has come to a
successful close and has been a
boost to the town and benefit to
the farmers. The institute was
under the direction of E. w. Smith
of Parkers Prairie, who was
assisted by F. F. Marshall of
Grove City.
Clearbrook was especially inter-
ested in the cooperative argu-
ments because the farmers tribu-
tary to the town, in conjunc ton
with the business men, have
erected cooperative creamery
and an elevator.
The town of Clearbrook is but
three months old. 1t is in the heart
of the agriculture section of Clear
water county, and is already in
hourishing condition. It is on the
500 line between Bemidji and Thief
River Falls.
It has two grain elevators, a feed
mill, department store, two general
stores, one hardware store. postoffice,
newspaper, (the Clearbrook Journal,
hotel, restaurant, bank, barber shop,
confectionery store, pool hall, meat
market, livery stable, lumber yard,
blacksmith shop, a fine station,
pumping plant and many fine resi-
dences.
The town still needs a doctor, a
hospital. drug store, machine ware
house, jewelry store, feed store, har-
ness shop, real estate Office, clothing
or furnishing establishment and a
flour mill. -.>

Rossini's jealousy.

Rossini was intolerably jealous OF
all his musical contemporaries, and
particularly of Meyerbeer. In 1886
he heard "The Huguenots," and on
listening to the performance from the
beginning to the end he made up his
mind that Meyerbeer had excelled him
and determined to write no more op.
cratic music. He lived until 1868, but
produced nothing for the lyric stage.
His thirty-two years of retirement
were spent in the pleasures Of a volup.
tuary. He was particularly fond of
good eating and drinking and as
sembled about him the youngest and
gayest society he could attract to his
house. .......s. .- ~ cls>

Lead in High School Contest to Select
Bemidji Representative at Inter-
scholastic Meet.
ALL MAKE FINE SHOWING
So Good That Judges Arrived at Final
Decision With Much Difficulty
Prizes to be Awarded.

At the preliminary declamatory
contest, held in the auditorium of the
Bemidji high school building, last
evening, the winners of the serious
selections were: Alfred Neuman,
The Lance Kanana," first price;
Lottie Madison, "A Soldier of
France" second prize; the humorous,
Mona Flesher THE Lady Across
the Aisle" first, and James Malone,
In the Tolls of the Enemy" second.
Only one winner was given first
place by each of the three judges, so
close was the contest, this being
Alfred Neuman. The voice. and
manner of this young man was so
perfect, that his listeners could not
help but wonder at his ability. Miss
Flesher also, is deserving of special
mention.
There were nine serious and six
humorous contestants on the pro-
gram, and it was the duty of the
judges to decide which two were the
nearest to being perfect. The judges
considered voice, memory, interpre.
tatlon, enunlclation and general
ease of the speaker. and as such
a large number of the orators went
through their parts with hardly a
noticeable mistake, this was done
with difficulty.
Mrs. w. E. Neal, M. ]. Brown
and A. P. Richie acted as judges,
and their selections met with
a general Improvement of all pres
ent.

tons were given by the high
