Crazy Reports.

To give an idea of some of the
crazy reports that went abroad
about the recent fire, the following
is an extract from the Birmingham
Eng. Gazette and Express, received
by Mrs. w. x. Jones. Comment is
unnecessary. It is no wonder English
men come out here with elephant
guns to shoot mastadons and find
themselves taking the role of the
hunted instead of the hunter.
Refugees tell terrible tales of
their race for life before the on.
coming wall of flames. They were
accompanied in their wild rush by
all kinds of wild beasts, which were
driven out of theirt forest haunts by
the fire. Hundreds of deer, caribou,
moose, bears, wolves and wild cats
joined men, women and children,
and raced widely about the fire
edge. Many animals, becoming
exhausted, lay together in huddled
heaps and were burnt to- cinders.
Others escaped with the human be-
ings by swimming.
Hundreds of armed ruffians are
pillaging the ruined towns, where
there is inadequate police pro.
lection. "-Rainy River Region.

Hair n.t Il,

@ French theater managers in the
eighteenth century had worse evils
than picture hats to contend against.
Marie ,Antoinette, who was short even
according to French standards, set the
fashion, of high coiffures, and ultra.
: fashionable women prided themselves
on measuring four feet from their
chins to the tops Of their heads.
These structures took about six hours
to erect, the hairdresser mounting
ladder in the process. Some coiffures
We're almost as broad as, they were
long. with wings sticking out about
eight inches on each side of the head.
For the .'frigate" couture the hair was
,rippled In huge pile to represent the
waves Of an, angry sea and surmount-
ed by a fully rugged ship. As a con
of these monstrosities dis
turbances in theaters occurred almost
daily until an ordinance was issued
against the admission of women with
high coiffures to the floor of the house.

Undoubtedly the high scale of
prices had great deal to do with
keeping the attendance down last
night. Those of our people who
find enjoyment in attending the
theater are accustomed to cheaper
addmittance fee, while those who
think it waste of time to devote
an evening before the stage except
for plays of real worth were mysteri-
ously absent, preferring apparently
to visit the cities for their theatrical
enjoyment, depending upon Bemidj j
for the simpler and more exclusive
forms of amusement. -.
Then, too, opera house affairs will
never be at their best so long as we
haven't an opera house, Most folks
ponder over the proposition before
passing over real money for an imita-
ton opera seat; they want real
parquet and dress circle and they
don't relish the idea of having their
vision of the stage blocked by a
seat dozen rows back on a fiat
floor.
In any event, however it must be
discouraging for those in charge of
the Armory hall to exert their best
efforts and be rewarded by the pres

A MALICIOUS ATTACK on JUDGE STANTON.
Sentiment in favor of Judge Stan
tons reelection seems very pro-
nounced in every county in the dis
trict and his friends are confidently
predicting a majority for him that
will run into the thousands.
AS in his campaign of two years
ago, he has been dignifed and
gentlemanly, relying upon his stand
ing as a citizen and lawyer, and
upon his record as judge to CON-
mend him to the voters of the dis
trict. Unlike his opponent, who has
made use of the columns of a news
paper, published by a disgruntled
litigant at Grand Rapids, to attack
his character and motives, Judge
Stanton has accorded to his oppon-
ent that fair, generous treatment
which every citizen is so DESTROYS
shall govern all political contests,
and especially when the Judiciary is
involved.
The bench should be placed above
politics. The election of Judge Stan
ton will demonstrate that the people
of this district favor aud endorse
this popular belief.
This judicial district is the largest
in the state. 1t is one of the most
important in the state. 1t is import
ant because of its great natural re-
sources, its immense possibilities, it's
rapidly growing population and its un-
usually large volume of legal business.
Such conditions demand expert
ence, ability and character on the
bench. In such a judicial district
the election of judge is more than
mere political contest. 1t becomes
a matter of vital public concern, over
shadowing all partisan considera-
tons.
The almost unanimous endorse
ment of Judge Stanton's candidacy
by the lawyers of the district con-
stitutes the most unusual and strong
est endorsement possible for candi-
date for judicial place to have,
and it reflects to a marked degree
the high esteem in which Judge
Stanton is held by the voters gener-
ally.
The statement made in the Grand
Rapids Rapids Independent to the
effect that the lawyers signed this
endorsement through correction is so
palpably false and malicious as to
be regarded as ridiculous and absurd
by every fair-minded person, and is
a gross and unwarranted reflection
upon the honor and integrity of the
lawyers of this district.
