Another proposition now under consideration is to have sleepers left at St. Cloud, Little Falls and Brain- erd, which can be taken on by the special as it comes north from St. Paul, and upon arrival in Bemidji a large crowd of lively visitors would be deposited in the metropolis of northern Minnesota, who would al- ready be provided with quarters. Elks are being notified to corres- pond with Mr. Weed, whose address is Boston Block, Minnepaolis, and get their reservations for the special train, In order that the baseball games may be under the direct supervision of the local executive committee, a contract will be signed with E.A. Barker, and the ball grounds leased The executive committee has con- sidered” the matter of fakirs, cane rack and lemonade stand operators and other smaller things which only aggravate visitors, and the'committee on street priviliges have been or- dered to bar all such nuisances, and they will not be tolerated during the convention. However, merry-go- ’rounds and amusements of that character are solicited. A. P. White and W. L. Brooks have been selected as the committee to have charge of the parade, on the morning of the second day of the ‘convention, and already they have planned several innovations for that pageant. | In order to stimulate competition among the local business men in decorating their stores, the commit- tee has decided to offer a prize of $50 for the best decorted business houses, $25 to the first, $15 to the second and $10 to the third, The Pioneer---40¢ per Month BEMIDJI Fora good smoke try the new cigar made in Bemidji and get a good 10c smoke, ask your dealer for a TOM GODFREY OR QUEENIE Manufactured by ] 7 BURKHARDT CICAR CO.

The recent victory obtained by the State Game and Fish commis- sion is obtaining a favorable judg- ment wherein fish that were being shipped were seized, because they had been netted, has caused con- siderable satisfaction to the com- mission; and Carlos Avery says of the case and the stand the commis- sion will hereafter take: “The outcome of this case is important for the reason that it will have a bearing upon the future pol- icy of the commission,” said Mr. Avery. * “For years there has been illegal fishing- throughout the north- ern’ part of the state, largely by Indians, who use nets, and sell their catch to local dealers. An average of a ton a day of fish has been shipped to Minneapolis. “It is practically - impossible to get at the trouble by arresting the fishermen, and so we have adopted the course of seizihg the fish. Of course we must be certain that the fish so seized were caught with nets. “We propose to follow up this victory in the court, for if net fishing is not stopped the lakes will be depleted. They cannot stand the drain to which they have been sub- jected.” y Big Meeting Tonight. The meeting of the Elks, to be held here this evening promises to be one of the most interesting sessions of the B. P. O. E. that has been held since the lodge was insti- tuted. It is expected that quite a num- ber of “fawns” will present them- selves for initiation and that there will be some “doings” on the side. An invitation is extended. to all local as well as visiting Elks to attend the meeting. Members should be on hand as soon after 8 o’clock as possible as the session will commence early.

In “The New Dominion,” of which the eminent actor is author, and in which he opened a week’s engage- ment at the Marquam yesterday, there is presented a study in char- acters that are lovable and altogether human. The charm of the play lies in its ever-present simplicity, in that not one strained effort for mere effect mars the beautiful unfolding of the story. The comedy is of that high order one finds in the classics. There is an absence of coarseness and grossness.

Sixty-two uniformed men were in line, and were drilled by the lieuten- ants and corporals in charge of the squads. Colonel Gerlach impressed very vividly upon the minds of the boys that the day of tin soldiers had passed, and under the provision of a law recently passed by congress, the National Guards of the different states could consider themselves on a level with the regulars of the United States army. 5 “I am very much pleased with the company,” said Colonel Gerlach. He was shown through the quarter- master’s department of the company and expressed himself as perfectly satisfied with the way the equip- ments of the company were being cared for and hoped that the boys would soon be in a position to more COLONEL GERLACH GIVES COMPANY K HIGH PRAISE Man Who Has Seen Much Service Says Bemidji Should Feel Proud of Her Militia Boys.—Company Was : Inspected Last Night. properly care for their equipment. _ The percentage of the appeerance of the company at drill was marked at 100 by the Colonel. He stated that at the rate the 'company was going, in the matter of drill and manual of arms, under the careful and efficient guidance of the officers that the company now has, that within six or eight months they will be the crack company of the Third Regiment of M. N. G. The company is almost left to its own resources for a proper place to keep its firearms and ammunition as no place has been provided for the arms and ammunition. The colonel was very lavish with his remarks as to the neat appear- ance and commendable behavior of the boys in their drill. There will be a drill in the armory Friday night. Everybody is request- ed to turn out. Col. Gerlach left on the midnight train for Duluth. SCENE FROM “THE NEW DO} INION.” WE SHOE by Mrs. John Goodman and Earl Geil gave the bride away.
