HALL0wELL MUSICIANS PLEASE
Concert and Dance Attended BY
Fairly Large Number.

Occasions are few when citizens of
city the size of Bemidji are given
opportunity to attend such entertain
ments as that given by the Halo
we'll Concert company, and yet the
audience to which this noted troupe
of musicians played last evening was
small. Those who attended were
pleased with the concert and appre-
ciated the efforts which are being
made by the Athletic club to bring
a series of high class entertainments
to the city. Each member Of the
Hallowell company is an artist and
John Vented, soloist, possesses q
wonderful baritone voice, his sing
ing Of last evening causing repeat
ed acclamations to ring out from the
small but appreciative audience. The
dance following the concert was well
attended and much enjoyed. As the
company was here under heavy
guarantee the club lost money on
the entertainment and because OF the
lack of patronage given the efforts
of the organizations officials. It is
probable that. an attempt will be
made to cancel other attractions
which have been booked for the win
ter.

SOME THINGS TO BE EXPLAINED

In a hot reply to Hammond's Red
Wing attack, William F. Lee, Re-
fpublican nominee for the governor
ship of Minnesota, at Buffalo last
evening, said: 3
In his speech in Red Wing the
democratic candidate for governor re-
.ferred to my statements with refer
ence to the brewery combine" in
Minnesota, and its activities in poll
tics, and asks: Are they extrava-
giant fancies based on little fact or
are they true?''
Processes Not to Know.
The democratic candidate for gov
Sernor processes not to- know that there
is brewery organization in Mime
sofa or that it has been exerting q
most powerful influence in politics
for many years; thatait has intruded
itself into every yfliage and city n
the state and has maintained lobby
in the state capitol during every
Legislature; that it is, and has been,
a most potent factor in Minnesota
politics. II he is ignorant of all
this, it is evident that his stand in
the city of Washington for the past
eight years has put him entirely out
Of touch with what has been going
on in Minnesota, and that he is as
innocent concerning matters politi-
cal as he is of the number of acres
of vast land that there is in our
state, or with the kind OF timber
that should be used in reforestfng
these lands to secure rapid growth
and quick return of investment.
The Book of Haines.
If he will read the little booklets
published by Lynn Haines and G.
]. Buell. on the sessions of the legis-
lature for the years of 1909, 1911
and 1913, he will get an idea of this
powerful brewery organization and
what it stands for and against in
Legislation, and something Of no.
ton of who has been serving it.
The history written by these men, SO
far as it refers to the influence of
the brewery organization on legis-
lation, has never been questioned;
in fact, it circulates as accepted his
tory. Mr.. Haines says, THE brew
ers exert an immeasurably evil in
t1uence in Minnesota politics. Their
profligacy and INSCRIPTIONS prac-
tees in campaigns make the better
class of citizens hesitate to become
candidates for the legislature, and
results directly in the election OF
law makers lacking both in patriotic
conception of their duties and in the
character which should accompany
such. responsibility" and he recites
cases of trade and log rolling for the
advancement or defeat, as the brew
cry combination may wish, of Inn
portant legislation Throughout both
lof the sessions concerning which he
writes.

Tells Of Crime.
In telling of the fearful crime, the
Crookston Times says:
when it was discovered that the
child had disappeared, immediate
search was instituted, scores Joining
in the effort to locate her. Finally,
just before midnight, the little girl
was found unconscious, lying on some
boards in the city park close to the
river! Had she moved, perhaps only
slightly, she would have fallen into
the river and probably been
drowned.
"After attempting most revolving

the child to her own fate, barring
the possibility of. some one finding
her before exposure in the night air

Snake Creates Panic.

A six-foot snake, full Of fight. defied
a squad OF reserves for more than an
hour recently. The policemen were
armed with revolvers. ropes and
sticks. Persons scattered in every d.
rection when the snake wriggled down
the sidewalk. A man who was hurry
ing to catch a car near stepped on the
reptile. He gave a cry Of fright
when he saw the snake almost under
his feet. He darted in another direc-
ton and lost his car. A rapid transit
company employee called up Sergeant
Morrison of the reserves and in
formed him in excited accents that a
snake had taken possession of Sec
ton of Market street. A squad Of re-
serves we're dispatched to the scene.
but the snake moved about in such a
vicious manner that none Of the po-
licemen risked going very near the
reptile. Then a young man came
along and captured the snake. 1t had

st. Nicholas seems 10 have been the
original of our Santa Claus. He was
the bishop OF Myra about the year
800 and was very popular because OF
his good deeds and kindness, especial
ly to children. whose patron saint he
is supposed to be. An old legend says
that he wished to secretly bestow a
gift upon an old nobleman who.
though poor. did not want anyone to
know of his poverty. When the good
bishop reached the house he saw the
old gentleman asleep by the fire, so
he climbed to the top of the chimney
and dropped his gift into 1t. thinking
1t would fall on the hearth. But it
happened that the money fell into one
of the old gentleman's stockings,
which his daughter had hung up to
dry, where It was found and used as
a dowry for his eldest daughter. And
the story goes on to say that st.
Nicholas never failed to put gift
in the stockings which were hung up
for him thereafter when a daughter
Of the house was to marry.

A few years later the fears NJ an
invasion by the Pretender brought
her horde Of enemies down on her

Of Marlborough and Newcastle and
many another noble hurried to her
