L. Bolton of St. Paul, grand scribe, George Mec- Culloch of Brainerd, high priest and the degree team, selected from the Bagley and Tenstrike degree teams. The work of instituting the en- campment wascommenced yesterday afternoon, when thirteen charter members were given encampment, preparatory to con- ferring the degrees on the balance of the candidates, in the evening.

At the midnight hour the work ot instituting the lodge was stoppecl‘| of the| the | long enough for the brethren to have a brief breathing spell and also to partake of an elegant lunch, which was served by the Rebekah lodge in the hall. After lunch the work of insti- tuting the lodge was resumed and officers of the new Bemidji en- campment were elected and insti- tuted as follows: Chief Patriarch, W. A. Cassler; senior warden, high priest, G. A, Canterbury; scribe, H. S. Annuette; treasurer, J. K. Titus; junior warden, Robert J.

The work of instituting the lodge was not completed until 3 o’clock in the morning, and, although the grand officers, visiting members and the newly made members of the Bemidji encampment were rather tired, they enthusiastically applauded the spegches which were made by Grand Chief Patriarch Whittemore, High Priest McCulloch and Grand Scribe A. L. Bolton, all of whom congratulated the new encampment, which starts out with thirty-four members and excellent prospects for FERRO MOTORS Do not fail to inves- tigate the 1908 Ferro Motor before placing your order for the sea- Manufactured in 1,2 and 3 cylinder, 1} i to 25 H.

The annual spring opening at the Berman Emporium” yesterday was one of the most auspicious and suc- cessful affairs of the kind ever under- taken by a local business institution. The emporium was decorated in a manner that caught the eyes of all who passed that portion of the city and the window display was so striking that everyone paused to comment favorably on the excellence of the arrangement. The interior decorations were simply lovely—the color scheme of Nile green and white being followed throughout, with most pleasing effect, and there were carnations, in red, light pink and dark pink that lent a very pretty effect to the color scheme, all of which had been prepared un- der the personal direction of Miss Josephine Ovri, the decorator. In fact, the decorations surpassed de- scription of the masculine mind, as did also the astonishing array of goods displayed. The splendid showing of spring and summer ladies’ wearing apparel would have done credit to any store in a much larger city than Bemidji. Two of the very elegant gowns that were on display were what is known as the “Princess” effect, one being a handsome light blue silk, trimmed with val lace and tucks, the other being in white silk, and also elaborately trimmed with lace. There was also a fine display of the latest millinery creations, in the special millinery department. A splendid showing of parasols was made and, in fact, the whole display was one which is creating no end of talk among the ladies of this city, as well as several from outside points who attended the opening. The opening of the millinery department was held last evening, when a large number of carnations were given away to everyone who visited the Emporium. The display of new spring hats which was shown, transformed the department into a veritable garden| of Eden, and the different styles shown indicated a very careful selec- tion of the eastern markets. ! Refreshments were served during the evening, and there was some ex- cellent music. District Court. Y The trial of the criminal cases was taken up in district court this afternoon, when Tom Peterson and Mike Shea were placed on trial on the charge of larceny in the first de- gree. The securing of a jury was on most of the afternoon. The case of the Partridge-Dyer Lumber company vs. A. Hanson was closed at noon today. This case was an action in i'eplevin to re- cover a quantity of cedar poles cut under contract, there being a dis- pute as to whether the inspection at the landing or the inspection made at the place of delivery was the final inspection. The jury found a ver- dict for the defendant, declaring Hanson the owner of the property and entitled to immediate possession thereof, the value of the same being $625. The plaintiff’s - attooneys secured a stay of sixty days, in order to prepare the case for apneal to the supreme court. On motion of E. E. McDonald, attorney for the defendant, with the consent of the plaintiff, the personal injury case of Ira Botting vs. the M., R.L. & M. railway was con- tinued to the September term of court. Michael O’ Brien was arraigned and plead guilty to the charge of having uttered a forged instrument. Being asked by the court what his business was, he answered he was acrook by trade. Judge Spooner sentenced O’Brien to months at hard labor inthe ‘“‘pen” at Stillwater, For good .dressmaking call on Mrs. C. A. Warren, 413 Minn.

Munch of Crookston, the very efficient game warden for Polk county and all the tenitory west of Clearwater county, has issued a circular concerning the unlawful destruction ~ of harmless birds, which s carried on by many youths of the country, during the summer months, merely for the sake of killing. Mr. Munch’s circular is addressed to the boys of the Red River valley, and is as follows: ““THE LAW OF THE STATE. “Sec. 66. Harmless birds. Any person who takes, - catches, Kkills, ships or causes to be shipped to any person within or without' the state, purchases, offérs, or exposes for sale, sells, has in possession, has in possession with ‘intent to sell, any harmless bird, either living or dead or any part théreof, in violation of the terms of section thirty-nine (39) of this chapter, shall be guilty of a misdemeandr, and upon conviction thereof punished by a fine of not less than ten (10) nor more than twenty-five’(25) dollars and costs of prosecution) or by imprisonment in the county jail for not less than thirty (30) days for each and every bird or any part thereof so caught, taken, killed, shipped or caused to be shipped to any person, either within or without this State, purchased or sold to any one, had in possession with intent to sell, offered, or ex- posed for sale, or had in possession, or under his control. “This section shall not be con- strued to apply to the keeping or selling of parrots or song birds as domestlc pets. “The Game and Fish Commission of the State of Minnesota has given orders to all Game Wardens to enforce this law, so boys, I "ap- peal to you to help me in this wor- thy cause. ‘““THE LAW OF GOD. “God sendeth the springs into the valleys, which run among the hills. By them shall the fowls of heaven hadve -their.habitation, which sing among the-branches.”—Psalm 104:- 10-12. “God said, Let the waters bring forth ab\mdantly the moving crea- ture that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmanent of heaven.—Genesis 1:20. “Behold the fowls of the air; for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them.”— Matthew 6:26. *‘Are not two sparrows sold for a arthing? and one of them shall not all on the ground without your Father.”—Matthew 10:29. “Yea, the sparrow hath found a house, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young, even thine altars, O Lord of hosts, my King and my God.—Psalm 84.3. ; Every boy in this part of the state should co-operate with the game wardens in preserving from destruction the harmless birds that inhabit the woodsand fields.. Not ‘only” are they absolutely harmless relative t6 human beings, but they destroy many insects that are harm- ful. ““Tilly Olson,”. March 26th. No dramatic writer ever hit upon the idea of making a young Swedish girl a heroine of a drama. 'until “TILLIE OLSON” was thought out. There have been -numerous Swedis- American dramas written for male stars, bat this is the first one in which the fair sex are exploited. The only Swedish character in “TILLIE OLSON” is the girl Tilly. The rest of the characters are pro- ducts of the great Northwest, the scene being laid first on a Minnesota farm and later in the city of Minne- apolis, “Tilly” proves to be a very entertaining stage creation, for she is bright and witty and with a fund of good humor hid beneath the im- perturbility for ‘which her nation is noted. The situations of the play are said to be extremely amusing and the comedy is clean cut and scintillating with good things from beginning t60 end. Some original specialties are introduced and a fine quartette is casried for the church scene. ‘An adequate scenic equip- ment has, bg%growded, every scene being f-ro "The studio of Messrs. Moses & Hamilton of the Broadway Theatre, New York. An exception- ally clever campany will aid in in- terpreting the comedy and the title role will be played by an especially clever comedienne, Miss Emily Erickson Green. ‘At City Opera House, March 26th. Will Take Charge Wednesday. Anton R. Erickson, whose con- firmation as postmaster of the City of Bemidji was recently announced from Washington, has received from the postoffice department at Wash- ington the official certificate of his appointment as postmaster, with authority to assume charge of the office at the close of business on March 31, which will be at the end of a quarter, when invoice will be given to the government and all re- ports for the quarter will be in readi- ness for the new postmaster. Mr. Erickson announces that he contemplates no change in the per- sotinel of the corp of officials at present emploved in the office; that he will retain A. Otto as deputy pobtmaster and ‘the other employes as follows: Frank Slipp, chief mailing clerk, S. A. Cutter, money order - clerk; Edmund Gould, general delivery clerk. Free delivery city carriers—Harry Qeil, J. C. Cobbs,Dennis Considine. Rural mail carrier, route No.. 1, Ralph L. Grover. Bemidji is the intersecting point for the distribution of the railway mail service in what is known as the north and south division. There are five mail clerks who are working on the mail for this intersecting point, they of course, are directly under the government department at Washington and the city post- office has nothing to do with their retention or dismissal. Fire Tuesday A. M.—Settlement Wed- nesday P. M. The quickest fire loss settlement ever made in this city was that made last evening by W. ‘H. Crandall, in- surance adjustor for the Glens Falls Company of New York, represented by the T. J. Miller Company in this city, in the loss sustained by V. L. Ellis Tuesday morning, satisfactory settlement being made ‘just thirty- four hours from the time of sound- ing of the fire alarm. Mr. Ellis was éurprised as well as very well pleased with the promptness with which they disposed of his case and cannot speak too highly of the Glens Falls Insurance Company, their adjuster, M. H. Crandall, and their agents the T. J. Miller Company of thls city. Mr. Ellis will immediately begin the construction on a 'new residence, CITIZENS TAKE' ACTION. Committee Decides to Proceed Against Lawbreakers. ,South Bend, Ind., March 26.—Dis- couraged over alleged ‘failure of'the city authorities to rid South Bend of gambling a committee of fifty, com- posed of prominent people of the city, Ras taken preliminary action in start- ng criminal prosecution against own- ers of buildings which are being rent- ed for. immoral purposes. The com- mittee has served notice on owners that buildings must be cleansed with- in two weeks. There has been no mincing of matters and several of the most hitherto respected and influen- tial residents of the city are included in the list that is being dealt with. The committee is acting under sec- tions of the Indiana statutes which provide for a fine up to $500 and im- prisonment not to exceed six months for owners of buildings in such cases. FORTY PERSONS INJURED Street Car Jumps Track and Crashes Into Building. Detroit, March 28.—Two score peo- le were injured when an interurban r on the Ann Arbor branch of the Detroit United railway, bound into the olty from Jackson, Mich., was de- vailed by defective rails near Thirty- first street and plowed across the brick pavement inte a store building. The car was wrecked and the front of the two-story building was demol- ished. Twenty persons were taken to the hospitals for treatment and nearly an- other score received minor injuries, which were dressed at the scene of the acoldent. Two of the injured are reported to be in & serious condition. Attempt to V’VTe—c—k’Brldgo. Perth Amboy, N. J., March 26.—An attempt to wreck the new Penggyl- vania railroad bridge over the Rarii river between this city and Sduth Am- boy was made when a charge of dyna. mite was exploded near one of the bridge abutments. The bridge did not fall, -although it was left in a condl- tion regarded as unsafe for the pas- sage of trains. - The “police suspect that the attempt at destruction is the outcome of some {ll feeling over the employment of men to build the bridge.

Nashville, Tenn.,, March 26.—The Republican state convention to select presidential electors and delegates at large to the Chicago convention met at the state capifol here. For nearly an hour after the body had been called to order a battle royal raged. It was a fight in which hundreds participated from time to time—a genuine rough and tumble affair precipitated by the efforts of the Evans-Hale delegates to take charge of the rostrum already held by the Oliver-Austin-Brownlow wing. The Oliver hosts, who had oome in on a special train from East ‘Tennessee, marched straight to the hall of the house of representatives and filled the big auditorium shortly after 6 o'clock. They had a key to the hall and marched in on the five unsuspected Evans-Hale guards and took the room. They kept it and held it straight through until the hour for the convention and when the Evans- Hale delegates walked into the room at 10 o’clock the Oliver men were in the saddle. It was on the advent of the Evans cohorts that the trouble started and for an hour pandemonium reigned. During the trouble more than a dozen fist fights occurred and in several in- stances pistols were drawn. One man produced a hatchet, which he was pre- paring to wield when intercepted. A negro delegate was knocked down by a white man. Both were arrested and hustled off to the police station. New- ell Sanders, chairman of the state committee, an ardent Evans man, was almost -choken into insensibility by a member of the Brownlow faction. Finally the police restored order, the Oliver men being in control. ' TURNED DOWN BY OPERATORS Proposal of lowa Miners to Prevent Suspension of Work. Des Moines, March 26.—Efforts of the miners to prevent a suspension of work at the coal mines of Iowa April 1, présented Tuesday in the form of a resolution to the joint conference of miners and operators, were turned down point blank by the operators. The miners in their resolution sig- nified their willingness to continue work at the mines after April 1, pend- ing negotiation of a wage scale, on condition that the scale and terms finally agreed upon by both parties apply from ril 1. The operators emphatically Jeclined the resolution, insisting that a complete shutdown of the mines is necessary during the period of negotiations. CHIEF SHIPPY JUSTIFIED. Coroner’s Jury Exonerates Him for Killing Averbuch. Chicago, March 26.—The coroner’s Jury has declared Chief of Police Shippy and J. E. Foley, his driver, to have been justified in killing Aver- buch, the young Russian Jew who at- tacked the chief in his home recently. More than a score of witnesses were examined, chief: among whom were Olga Averbuch, sister of the dead man; Chief Shippy himself, his son Harry, who is recovering from an all. but fatal shot through the chest received in the affray, and other mem- bers of the chief’s household. Will Resume on Full Time. " Pottsville, Pa.,, March ' 26.—Orders have been, issued by the Philadelphia and Reading Coal and Iron company for the resumption of the fifty-five collieries and washeries of the com- pany on April 1, after having been on half time for the past two months. This will affect about 25,000 men and boys. Nine of the collieries which were closed down entirely a few ‘weeks ago are included in this order. Five Thousand Men Let Out.

Stevens, adviser to the Korean council of state, who was shot on Monday by I. W. Chang, a Korean, remains practically un- changed.
