Every Child Should Be Given an Opportunity to See Them.—Come to the Bijou. Every parent and Sunday School teacher should take advantage of this opportunity to vividly impress upon the children these scenes in the Christ life—impressions that can never be effaced while the lamp of life holds out to burn. In no other way short of a personal visit to the village of Oberammergan, in Bavaria, at the time of this stupend- ous enactment, can so lasting a realization of the crucifixion of Christ be made. The above mentioned, is the only pictorial passion play taken from the actual play and the only one produced in the city. The passion plays shown here in the past were of American production and is not to be compared with the one men- tioned above. ‘The Bijou Theatrical Co. THE STATE WILL MAKE A GLOVER SEED TEST Takes Steps to Find Best Way of Rais- ing Clover Seed.—Test Being - Made at Wadena. Wadena Pioneer Journal: The state has taken a hand in an endeavor to learn positively the best way to handle medium red clover soas to insure the best possible seed crop. Accordingly the state this year has arranged to give this matter careful tests, and experiments will be carried on in Wadena county, which is recognized as being one of the best clover growing localities to be found anywhere in the world. The state recognizes the value of clover seed raising as a money mak- ing proposition for the farmer, and if by experimenting the state can arrive at a definite method to be persued in handling clover so that the seed yield may be materially increased, the farmers ought to know about it. This year the state has entered into a contract with certain farmers in this part of the state, and they will grow a small acreage “of clover and handle it in various ways as directed by the state authorities just as an experiment. The following Wadena farmers of recognized standing will undertake these experiments: Wm. Theisen, C. F. Crothers, W. C. Spencer and Mike Weber. Each of these gentlemen will handle one acre of medium red clover for the state will pay a rental of $10 for the season. These farmers must each handle the one acre of clover just as the state authorities and experts may direct. For instance one of them will be required to clip one-quarter of the acre of clover June 10, the mower to be run three inches from the ground and the clipping left on the field, leaving the clover to go to seed. A second farmer must cut a quar- ter of an acre for hay on June 20, leaving the second crop for seed. A third must cut his clover July 5, leaving his second crop for seed. The hay in every instance wlll belong to the farmer, and the seed will be his also, except that the state reserves one square rod from each quarter of an acre. From this square rod straw and all is to be cut and packed in burlap'sacks and shipped to the state experimental station. Notes are to be kept as time it is cut. In this way the state hopes to getat the best method of handling clover for a seed crop. Safe Blew Up, Valuables Lost. The Passion Play will not be presented at the Brinkman this evening but the three DeLoys will be there with their budget of fun and high-class vaudeville. In their laughable Dutch sketch many mirth prevoking scenes occur of which the title of this article is one. The black-face part played by Eddie is certainly a masterpiece and is acted as only an expert can act. The motion pictures, “Hunchback Brings Good Luck,” “A Peaceful Inn,” “A Rustic Heroine,” and “Wouldn’t That Tire You,” promise to open a new epoch in the field of motion pictures in our city, a veritable Metropolitan play on the screen. “Sweet Polly Primrose,” the illus- trated song will be sung by that talented musician, Mr. E. Homan Nestell, now filling an engagement with Manager Brinkman. Don’t fail to hear it for it out-classes all previous songs. Little Miss Myrtle, the dainty soubrette, will have a new and pleasing bill to present this evening and as always will be sure to please. Mr. Brinkman’s house of amusement is fastly gain- ing prestage and rightly for it is presenting at all times the best pictures and vaudeville that is west of Chicago, it being on the most popular circuit. Don’t forget, a dollar show for 15c. Excursion to Redby. The Minneapolis,RedLake&Mani- toba railway company will give the first excursion of the season to Redby, Sunday, July 19. The train will leave Bemidji at 10 o’clock, arriving there in time for dinner. As many as possible should plan to go on the excursion and see beautiful Red Lake. Good Residence for Sale.

FORTY CENTS PER MONTH A Warning Sounded. City and country merchants’who have been in the habit of handling- paris green and other poisons, salt peter, borax and other drugs, or patent medicines should look up the law on these subjects and arrange with some drug store to take such articles as are not lawfully handled by other than registered pharmacists off their hands, as the state board is figuring on making a raid on all such in the near future. We understand that the minimum fine is $50 for each sale and if sales are followed up as expected the fines would bankrupt every dealer who fails to observe the law. Up to the present time the state board of phar- macy has been stalking around blindfolded like the goddess of justice and allowed nearly everybody to do the drug business, but it is time for a square deal which is supposed to mete out to all.

Baudette, July 17.—(Special to Pioneer.)—The dispute between the American lumber company and the Rainy River boom corporation at Rainy River, which has been going on in the courts for the the last three years, developed into reprisals when the crew of the tug Kingfisher, under the direction of D. Robinson, manager of the latter corporation, and also of the Rat Portage Lumber company, cut several booms of logs belonging to the Rainy River Lum- ber company and the Shevlin- Matheu Lumber’Co. of Minneapolis, resulting in the loss of a large num- ber of logs and inflicting heavy loss on the owners, After the cutting of the first boom the boat crews made several at- tempts, more or less successful, to cut other booms belonging to the same people, but were driven off by a show of armed resistance. Recently the Kingfisher went up the river and continued its depre- dations. Warrants were sworn out and after a long chase the boat was overhauled and Robinson placed under arrest. The preliminary hearing of Mr. Robinson will be held before Police Magistrate Morton at Rainy River on Satnrday. Naturally the case is exciting a good deal of attention owing to the prominence of parties concerned, and the outcome will be watched with interest. Souvenir post cards at the Pio- neer office.
