SENSATIONAL RACES
The Fastest Aviator, the Fastest Auto
Driver and the Fastest Horse,
Pitted Against Each Other.

Every city of much consequence
in the country will have aviation
meets this summer, but Minneapolis
and St. Paul have taken the lead
with a program of events that are
not only sensational in the extreme,
but unique.
Glenn H. Curtiss, king of the air.
with his new model machine,
Barney Oldfeld, with his great 200
h. p. Benz car, with which he has
made a mile in 20 seconds, and
Minor Heir, the fastest harness
horse in the world, will compete
at the same time, the horse on the
half-mile track, the auto on the
mile track, and the aeroplane above
them. The race is symbolical of
the past, present and future of
racing, bringing together in a single
event, the champions of each class
of locomotion.
There are to be four big days of
racing, beginning with Wednesday
June %. Accompanying Curtiss will
be Charles K. Hamilton. holder of
the record for accurate starting and
landing, and ]. c. Mars, another
sensational professional flyer. There
will also be amateur aviators, among
them Clifford F. Harmon, the
wealthy aeronant and aviator.
Besides Oidfeld with his Benz
car, Kischier, with his Darracv
1OO-h. p. car, and Ray Harroun, the
Marmion driver, are to 60 against
worlds auto records on a circular
track. Oldfeld is also to drive his
car twice around the mile track
while Curtiss flies over a two mile
course. There will be MOTORCYCLE
races in addition. The state fair
grounds, located between the Twin
Cities, furnish splendid accommoda-
tons for such a meet, which it is
anticipated will attract crowds that
equal those of the state fair.

Jobbers Spend Day, Here.

St. Paul was here yesterday after
noon, and we knew it. The fat man
who takes care of us when we 20
down to the legislature brought a
few of his helpers up here in a
special train and rolled in about
half after one. He had the Mime
sofa state band with him and they,
assisted by the engineer, gave due
notice that his honor was among us.
Seriously though, this trip of the
St. Paul jobbers and manufacturers
is as good for US as it is for them.
1t means that our merchants will feel
acquainted with the men with whom
they are dealing and more business
harmony is sure to result. The
Minneapolis dealers went out into
Montana and the Dakotas, but we
believe that taking everything into
consideration, the St. Paul men will
realize more from their trip.
We are glad that we could have
you for little while, friends, even
if we could not entertain you over
night. Don't forget to stop next

E. E. Mcdonald presided over the
festivities. Al Jester told his famous

John Morrison did an Indian inter.

Mr.. Sammis, in a short speech,
impressed the good points of the
order on the members present and
told them of the good they could
accomplish by a strict adherence to
the orders fundamental principles.
Visiting members from Minneapolis,
St. Paul and St. Cloud also made
short speeches.
Lunch was served after the
speeches and Masters orchestra
furnished the music.

Morrison Fell in the Lake.

A good story on John Morrison
of Red Lake has just transpired.
He went over to Cass Lake while
down here to assist in the jubila-
tons attendant on the visit of
]. u. Sammis, grand exalted ruler of
the B. p. o. f. The party was out
fishing and wanted to land for awhile.
The boat sat too deep for the
shallow water SO Morrison stepped
into a row bow to tighten the
load. He stepped all right, but lost
his balance on the edge of the boat
and sat down in two feet of water.
He was soaked, and had to ride in
the launch twelve miles in that con-
dition.

with the entertainment afforded him
while here. The reception Saturday

she was Mrs. Parks, then told the
police that King had murdered
Hindahl, had gone to Bemidji and
had borrowed $500 in Hindahl's
name.

King was then charged with muir.
der and the trial was set for May IL.
but was postponed until June

because of the birthday of the new

hours to bring in a verdict of guilty.
Hindahl cane up here from Hi.

He had money on deposit in two
Illinois banks and also has the
Minneapolis account. His only
relative is brother in Germany who

MI. Miller saws that he cannot
find terms in which to praise the
Royal Northwestern Mounted Police.
He says that once man commits a
crime in Canada, he might just as
we'll stand up and say he is guilty
for they will surely get him in the
end. Sergneat Nicholson tracked
one man around the world and spent
$4,000 to get him, but he finally
caught him in England. King was
tracked for three years.
He says that they are fine lot
of fellows, royal in every sense Of
the word. The pay of amounted
policeman is $1.25 per day and ex.
penses.
Mr.. Miller visited the penitentary
where King is confined. He says
that he is in a steel cell with steel
mesh in front so fine that tooth.

nature of the Grand, he had most

him like a prince.

new ,BRINKMAN SHOW
SAID TO Be BEST EVER
Three Acts and Moving Pictures Make.
a Classy Evenings Entertain
ment.

The show at the Brinkman this
week surpasses anything seen
there for some time.
The bill is composed of three
acts which are topnotchers. The
acts together with the moving
pictures and illustrated song make
up bill that Mgr. Brinkman may
well be proud Of.
The first act on the bill, the
musical Strips is one of the best
musical acts ever seen in the
house. Both Mr.. and Mrs. Strips
are experts on the Xylophone and
the audience voice their approval
each time by making them respond
to an encore.
The next on the bill is the
Original Topsy Turvy Dancer,
Mr. Louis Stone who. does not
initiate but is classed by himself.
1t m kes no difference 70 him
where the dancing floor is, for he
does several very difficult stunts,
upside down as it were--dancing
on the ceiling and side wall.
There is not dull minute during
his whole act.
Last but not least, Will Fields
and La Adelia in their own laugh
ing sketch "The Janitor and the
Maid" Miss La Adelia does a
dance on her toes which is one OF
the most graceful dances ever seen
on the vaudeville stage.
Mr.. Fields does some very clever
limitations Of Hebrew and
finishes with an excentric dance.
Mgr. Brinkman appreciates the
way the Bemidji people patronize
his show.

Especially Urge Business Men to be
Present at Meetings Each
Monday Night.
CITY AFFAIRS CONDUCTED
IN WORCESTERSHIRE WAY
Postponed Session to be Held Tonight =
Members Want a Big
Audience.

fessional men and tax payers attend
the council meetings? This is a
question that the councilmen ask
themselves nearly every day. 1t can
not be that they are not interested
in city affairs. There are "grum-
blers" in this city as we'll as other
cities and councilmen express them
selves as saying, that these very
men that grumble as to what the
council does, are the very ones that
never attend the council meetings.
1t is not only the privilleg of every
citizen to attend council meetings
but it is his duty to do so. If he
has any suggestions to offer or any
advice to give he should feel at all
times free to do So" This is what
the city fathers want and ask.
We elect men to conduct city affairs
and represent our respective wards
and therefore should feel interested
at all times as to the word carried
on by our representatives.
Another expression heard from
one Of the councilmen was, that if
a business man conducted his bust
ness the way that the city affairs
are being conducted he would go
broke in less than six months.
Not but what everything is done
honestly, open and above board but
it lacks business like methods. :"
He continued in saying that bills
presented at council meetings of
which nothing was known until their
presentation.
1t may be that the bills are al
right and that they should be al
lowed, but there should be record
of this bill before it reaches the
council. A wise move made by the
council was the issueing of an order
book of which there is an original
and duplicate of every order issued.
This order, it is understood, must
accompany every bill presented be-
fore it is allowed. The council should
be firm in its action as to the allow
ing OF bills and should reject each
and every bill that is not accom-.
panied by an order from the city
clerk, not because the bill is question
able but because of the unbusiness-
like method.
A number of councilmen express
themselves as anxious that business
men of the city attend the council
meetings and attend them regularly.
During the past the meetings have
been attended and at times the
council chambers were crowded but
not by the class of men that is
desired. What the councilmen want
is tax payers and men who have the
interests of the city at heart and not
a lot of men who come there merely
for past time or curiosity.
This article is being published as
an appeal to the business men and
the tax payers and it is hoped that
they will see fit to be at the council
meetings whenever possible.
