Petersburg, July 10.—Political demonstrations, during = which the crowds carried red flags and sang rev- olutionary songs, occurréd in many places in St. Petersburg during the afternoon and evening, Mecessitating the interference of the police and mil- ftary patrols. Street cars were held up and their occupants were com- pelled to uncover and salute the red flags. The most serious affair hap- pened near the Moscow railroad sta- tion, where an officer, later identified as Lieutenant Tom, made a revolution- i ary speech to a crowd of 2,000 people. A detachment of police attempted to disperse the assemblage, but the peo- ple armed themselves with stones dug up from the streets and beat off the police and a squadron of Cossacks. Eventually the Cossacks were rein- forced and fired a blank volley in the air, whereupon the rioters fled to neighboring courts. Only a few per- sons were slightly injured. Lieutenant Tom was arrested and taken to the fortress. A meeting which was addressed from a window of the Constitutional Democratic club was dispersed by mounted gendarmes, during which several persons were wounded with sabers; and a performance at the Peo- ple’s palace was broken. wp, the au- dience singing the “Marselllalse" as they dispersed.

PAPERS FORMALLY SIGNED AUGUST 14-18 ARE THE DATES ‘Conmerehl Club Closes Deal for Week of Fun in Mid- summer. Thousands of Visitors Are Ex- pected From Neighboring Villages and Country. The contemplated street carni- val to be held in this city Angust 14, 15, 16, 17 and 18 isa certainty. A contract with the T. I. Cash Carnival company of St. Paul to show here on the dates mentioned was signed today by President C. H. Miles and Secretary George Markham of the Commercial jclub, Final action in the securing of the carnival was taken by the Commercial club at a special meeting held yesterday after- noon in the city hall to confer with Harry White, advance agent | for the company. | The whole proposition of hold- ling ‘a carnival in Bemidji in August was thoroughly dis- cussed at a previous meeting of the club and voted on, but_ there were a few details which needed explaining, and Mr. White made a special trip here to answer questions and sign the contract, if everything was found satis- factory. One of the doubtful questions was as to the special privileges for selling on the streets asked for-by the company,. Mr. White- said that these privileges were merely for can and knife racks, for selling confetta, tin whistles, etc. The company does mnot wish to sell cigars, drinks, fruits, or anything that will interfere with the local business houses in any way, ¢ Another question raised wss as to the feasibility of the city hiringits own free attractions and not paying the carnival com- pany the $500 asked for. It was found that a list of free shows, such as the Cash company carries, could not be secured for less than from $1,000 to $2,000, and that it would be much cheaper to pay the $500. More- over, a portion of this sum will be returned. to the club, as it receives ten per cent of the gross receipts of all the paid shows, and the Ferris wheel and the merry-go-round, up to $2,300 and twenty per cent of all money taken in over that sum. A committee from the club composed of Messrs. Miler, Schneider, Bacon and Carter waited on the city council last night and secured the free use of the streets for the carnival Continued on page 4 column 3 store will be op Wednesdays until 10 p. m, BEMIDJI, M BUSINESSHOURS During July and Augast this from 7 a. m. to 6 p. m.
