It can be said with assurance that the population of Bemidji is| in the immediate neighborhood of 4,500. This includes the wil- TOMORROW Big Duluths Will Cross Bats With Locals at the City Ball Park. Perhaps the most interesting exhibition of base ball seen on the local diamond this season will 'be played tomorrow between the Bemidji team and the Big Du- luths. It may be said with com- parative safety that -the two teams are, with the possible ex- ception of Hibbing, the best ama- teur organizations in northern Minnesota, and there is no reason to believe but that the game to- morrow will prove an excellent contest. The Big Duluths were here for three games last season. lage of Nymore, where there are Of the three games Bemidji took about 500 people, Nymore being actually, thodgh not Jégally a part of the city of Bemidji. The population of gns city thelf will not vary much or below 4,000, There is of course no way . of get-! ting at the actual figures, but when the totals are given out by the state officials, it will undoubt- edly be found that the fizures given above are approximatély correct. 3 These figures show a very sub- stantial gain for Bemidji during the past five years and there are probably few cities in the state, if any, that can show as large a percentage of gain. The pupu- lation as given in 1900 was a lit- tle less than 2,200, while the count this year will show almost double that. A gain of one hun- dred per cent in five years is cer- tainly a mark for the other cities of the state.

ENROUTE TO DEVILS LAKE POW WOW. Squaws Have Difficulty in Keep. ing Them From Fighting Each Other. Crookston Times: Thirty or more Red Lake Indian braves passed through the city this morning at an early hour in the last stages of intoxication. Even old Highlanding George, one of the oldest [ndian characters in the state and chief of the - Iudian police was paralyzed. The Reds are enroute to Devils Lake to at- tend the annual pow-wow of the friendly tribes in this section of the country. They wentequipped with blankets, guns, hatchets, tomahawks and all of the war paint and clothes necessary fora gorgeous celebration. The Indians started to get on |at Bemidji and from that point down to Fosston stray families continued to add to the bunch, Where the firewater came from which set them going is a mys- tery but it is evident that one of the party, who is nearly a white managed to beguile a saloon kzeper on the line into giving him several large bottles. At the depot in this city sever- al scraps resulted between the braves during the short half hour they were here and only the interference of the women of the party prevented serious trouble. The fact that none of the stag- gering Reds were not run over when the train pulled into the depot is somewhat of a miracle as they scattered herc and there about the track and were appar- ently unable to handle them- selves. When one of the Indians would fall down on the platform he would be unable to rise until assisted by some of his drunken fellows or by his wife, The women of the party were per- fectly sober and were evidently much disgusted with their bet. ter halves and their actions. MERCHANTS WILL CLOSE All Storekeepers of City Have Now Signed Early Clos- ing Agreement, All the merchants of the city have now agreed with the retail clerks toclose their establish- ments every evening at 8 o’clock except Saturdays and mill pay days. The agreement will go into effect on July 5. An attempt was made recently by the retail clerks to secure early closing, but a number of merchants refused to comply with the demands of the clerks. Thursday, however, W. N. Bowser and E. A. Schnei- der took the matter up with the merchants who disfavored the early closing proposition with the result that all have now agreed to close. The agreement holds good until Sept. 1. Notice Dissolution of Partnership, The partnership heretofore ex- isting between Wm.

According to real estate men there is now more demand for city lots than there has been at any time for the past year or year and a half.

WOODSMAN NOT RESPONSIBLE Fire at Kelliher Yesterday Morning Set by One of Men in Camps. Wm. Lennon, who is in the city today from Kelliher, states that according to the most reli- | able information obtainable as to the origin of the fire at Kelliher yesterday morning in which the R, E. White camps were de. stroyed;there is nothing to the report that a drunken woodsman caused the blaze by shooting into the camp. He says that nobody knows positively how the fire was started, but the opinion at Kelli- her is that one of the men in the camps dropped a lighted match into oneof the beds while light- ing his pipe.

Johnson to be present at the opening of the Bemidji Bible conference the latter part of this month and to deliver the opening address. It is believed that Governor John- son will consent to come.

The test of the new city well at ths Warfield Electric plant which was to have been-made yeeterday afternoon did not take place owing to the illness of one of the men in charge of the work, C. H. Bradley, who is suffering with ilagrippe. Mr. Bradley states that the test will probably not be made until after July 4. | AMUSEMENTS lago. Inall ages men have tried to give expression to their ideal of the supreme evil. 1In every re- ligion the king of Darkness has been given a name and a dwelling place. Han’s mind has always tried to account for the presence of wickedness iz an otherwise + happy world. The great writers recognizing this universal interest have given this spirit a personality. Some time they go so far as to have him hold communication with God himself as witness the Devil in the book of Job. If the ag: in which the great writer lives is brutal this spirit is brutal. If intellectual, he is intellectual. Goethe’s Mephistopheles is a philosopher. But it took the master hand of Shakespeare to fuly embody in a human form the qualities usunal- ly attributed to the Prince of Evil, Before him every other con- ception fades as stars vanish to two to three huudred. ek o oo o oo ol ol s ofe ofe b o o oo b Bo B B B B B B BB B B BB E P FF "&%‘*%%%%%%%%%%'&&%%%'&%%%%%% For Supplies For Fruit Confec (Cigars Tobac J.
