SCHOOL CONCERT IS PRAISED
As Result Kipps Appearance, Schools
Here May See Musical Activity.

An audience of about $50 present
at the Kipp string quartet concert
last evening" About $36 was taken
in, of which S11 was given to the
High Schools stereoptican fund. The
music played was the best, every
number being written by one of the
great composers The crowd was
deeply appreciative. Violin solos,
played by Miss Hazel Kipp, and the
piano playing by Miss Winifred, were
features. The latter acted as accom-
panist in all Of the pieces, except
those in which she played the vio-
loncello. Liszt's "Rhapsody Hon
groise No. ~ which she rendered,
carried the crowd completely.
Mr.. Kipp in a short talk told of
the origin and purpose of the Kipp
quartet. For two years the Kipps
have been travelling over the state of
Minnesota, trying to create a taste
among school children for standard
music, and pioneering bill which
will be brought up at the coming ses
sion of the legislature, which will
provide for the organization and sup
port by the state of high school quar-
tets, or concert companies, which
will travel over the state, giving free
concerts in the different schools. The
object of this is to inculcate a taste
for good music in the minds of the
children. The schools organizing
these companies will send their
players to committee of three peo-
pie in the state who will examine
them and determine whether or not
they are capable to do this work
AS soon as z quartet has been or
ganized it will be sent on the road
and its expenses will be paid by the
state
Professor Dyer said a few words,
in which he expressed his apprecia-
tion of the program. He. said that
he was heartily in favor Of any pro-
vision which will bring to this school
and others music of this kind. Steps
may be taken in the near future to-
ward the Organization of an orches-
ira here, which in time may send
out quartet.

Co.EDSD0" "GRIznYBEAR"
Admitted at University That Shock
ing Dance is INDUCED in By shev-
lin, Hall Girls.
BUT NOT WHEN MEN PRESENT

The "grizzly BEAR and the. "tur-
key trot," the latest creations in the
terpsichorean art, have been danced
tosolIlv- u.>tciiC- sst ,v.s1Jy-ur
Minnesota, but have been barred
from the regular dancing classes.
Girl students of the university, dur
hall are known to go through the
ing the noon-day hop in Shevlin
capers among themselves, but their
activities are entirely sub-rosa. They
deny the charges that the "grizzly
bear' was-in evidence to any extent
at the Pan-Helenic dance Friday
night, attended by members of nine
teen fraternities and sororities. In
one or two cases couples went
through the new dances, but for the
most part they were avoided. The
Boston dance prevailed through the
last few numbers.
II don't know what the 'grizzly
bear dance is, so that I can hardly
give an opinion of it, said Miss An
ma Butner, head of the physical de-
partment for women, under whose
direction esthetic dancing for wom-
en- is given at the university. "The
girls are not allowed to dance it
here, though, ! understand that they
dance it at Shevlin during the noon

from the Loyal Order of Moose

insanity. In an action filed in
the Spokane county superior
court yesterday he alleges that

lodge, of which he is a member,
instituted Il charge of insanity
against him last August, follow
ing an illness or four weeks in
June and July, 1911, and that
he was discharged at a hearing
after being examined by county
and other experts. Francisco
says in his complaint that the
action of the lodge has injured
his reputation and as a result he
is unable 10 secure employment

HERE'S New ONE ABOUT DUMAS
Cheney Learns Cass Lake Man May

Now comes Charles Cheney, poll

nal, with the long distance guess
that DR.. D. F. Dumas, etc., is to be

the present representative, Charles
H. Warner of Aitkin. Says Mr.. Chen
ey in the Journal: "Mayor D. F.
Dumas of Cass Lake, accused of be-
ing the brains and directing force
of the gang which terrorized north
ern Minnesota last year by arson and
robbery, is going after political vim

The Report in Full.

TO the Common Council of the
:. City. of Bemidji, Minnesota:
Gentlemen: We, the mem
bers of the Water and Light
Committee for the City of Be-
midi, who were appointed by
the council to look into the man
agement OF the water depart
ment, and were requested to re-
port at the regular meeting of
said council Monday evening,
January the 22nd, 1912, beg to
submit the following report.
We (the committee) called
upon a number of water users
of the city of Bemidji and read
their meters and in a number of
cases found that the bills rem
dered did not correspond with
the readings, that they were ov-
er-charged or under-charged, as
the case might be, that some
meters were running wild and
did not give the correct amount
used, that some of them were
frozen, that some of them were
in the plumbers shop for re-
pairs (that is in Doran's shop)
and that others were not access
sible, being in places that it was
impossible to get at, and others
were buried in sand.
All Meters to Be Re-Read.
From what evidence we were
able to get we deem it advisable
to re-read all meters, correct all
of the bills and give credit slips
to all who have been over
charged and to increase the bill
of all who have been under
charged, and have all bills made
as to February first, 1912.
We also think or recommend
that the charge of the re-reading
should be paid by Mr.. Eckstrum,
and respectfully recommend the
names of City Engineer Everts
and Scott Stewart, as compe-
tent men to read and seal the
meters, and to rectify the books.
We also recommend that an
ordinance he passed making it
misdemeanor for any one to
tamper with the meters or break
any seals thereon.
We also wish to state that the
water fund was found in good
shape and that Mr.. Eckstrum
turned over to the city every
cent collected by him in the in
cumbency of his Office.

At a special meeting of the Com
mercial club tonight, J. J. Opsahl,
chairman of the traffic committee,
will present letters from Howard Ell
liott, president of the Northern Pa
citic; Edmund Pennington, president
of the 500; w. P. Kenney, general
traffic manager fthe Great North
ern. and Fl. A. Noble Of the same
road
These letters are written in re-
sponse to inquiries by Mr. Opsahl
as to what the railroads propose to
do in the way of bringing in summer
tourists and homeseekers, and in each
instance the railroad officials pledged
hearty cooperation and support.
In addition General Manager A. L..
Molander of the Red Lake line, has
heartily joined in the movement, as
has also the Bemidji agents of the
other lines of transportation

you that we should be very glad to
cooperate with the people of Bemid-
il and the surrounding country. l

agent, from whom you should hear"
Elliott Takes it Seriously.
President Elliott writes:
Dear Sir: Your letter of Janu-
ary 18th, about summer travel to
Bemidji and Colonist rates is re-
ceived.
Our company for years has been
advertising northern Minnesota
lakes very literally; also the ques-
tion Of fishing and hunting in that
region, and we expect to keep on.
The question of summer tourist rates
and of colonist and settlers rates is
now under discussion and the points
raised by you are having most seri-
GUS consideration.

Are We Ready for Them

THE railroads can do a certain
amount to help, but what they can
do is not much compared with what
the people themselves in any given
community can do. They can adver-
tice in the Twin City papers, in pa
pers in southern Minnesota, in North
Dakota papers and they can make
certain that there are clean, COM
Portable, economical, little cottages
and hotels where people can go.
Suppose by the joint efforts of the
railroad and the Bemidji Commercial
club, we could induce 1000 new
summer tourists to land at Bemidji?
Have you got the accommodations for
them SO that they will be happy and
contented and go away in such a
frame of mind that they will want
to come back and ask their friends
to come back?
