BRICK WORK FAULTY
ON new POST0FFlCE:;
...,.,. MAY BE. TORN DOWN

Will the brick which has been
laid for the new federal building
have to be torn down and relaid?
That is a question that is just
now a matter of speculation among
those in position to know that the
government inspector is dissatisfied
with the manner in which the brick
have been laid, and which, it is as
serted. is not according to the speci-
fications of the government plans.
In fact. decidedly not.
An inspector was in Bemidji Tues
day and looked over the work. Yes
terday the work on the building had
stopped and not a man was on the
job. Today it is the same-no sign
of activity.
For instance, in laying the brick
it is said they should be laid so an
entire brick would lay flush against
a window frame. In case whole
bricks would not reach the entire
length where they are to be laid,
and a piece is required to fill the
gap. the piece should be set in the
center of the layer. 1t is said this
has not been done and as result
pieces Of brick are punched at win
dows and at other points.
1t is said the point is plain in the
printed specifications and just who
will bear the brunt is to be deter
mined.

BARRIERS WILL CHARGE
FOR. SHAVING NECK;
HOURS ARE SHORTENED

Say, you chap who is wont to have
your facial tapestry amputated about
once a week, and who casually asks
the obliging barber to "scrape my
neck, will you," and gets 1t done,
after next Monday you'll pay that
barber cents extra for that neck
shave. The barber figures that when
he shaves a person he shaves his face
and not his neck, as the h. c. OF l.
has also struck him.
This is the decision of the BARRIERS
of Bemidji and herein given to the
ones who grow fuzz and brush as
part Of their hirsute adornment.
Another thing the BARRIERS have
decided is that beginning next Mon
day, October 8, shops will open at
8 o'clock in the morning and close
at $50 O'Clock in the evening, ex-
cept on Saturdays, when the shops
will remain open until 1880. On
weekdays, the BARRIERS will not go
to supper until their day ends at
6:30 o'clock.
It is figured the new order of
things will work hardship on no
one. It will mean only a few min
utes less for the men and allow them
to get home and get acquainted with
the missus and enjoy an evening like
other humans. Shops in many other
cities are not even so lenient and it
is believed the public will be willing
to cooperate with the boys in the
new move

 Somewhere in the inner recesses of the mind of Young Forbes there re

He came to The Republican office for in- formation. He wanted to know the name of the doctor and where his of flee was located.

Dr. Robert E.

The plant is not only one of the most complete in the state, but in the Southwest, another ind cation of the metropolitan proportions of this city.
 pr. Solosth is conducting his grind ing plant in connection with his dark room which contains instruments for the examining and detecting of all manner of eye trouble which can be corrected by the use of properly ground lenses. Among the instruments for the detection of astigmatism is a universal ophthalmometer. which is one of the newest and most practical instruments of it's kind.
 It is an education in itself to visit the grinding shop and follow the rough glass through the various stages. and finally see it come from the edging plant in the form of a finished lens.

 The case was tried in Greenlee coun- ty and verdict given the board of supervisors. On being appealed it was sent back for d new trial The super visors were again victorious and the case now is up again for a second re- hearing. Cotey sues for $5,70S.4S.
