NUMBER 77, BEMIDJI, MINNESOTA, SATURDAY PASSION PLAY PICTURES DRAW CROWD TO BIJOU Over a Thousand People Visited this Popular Amusement Place Last Evening.—Come to the Bijou this evening. Local Talent to Take Part in Entertainment. A vast multitude of eager patrons thronged the Bijou Theater last night; every foot of space on the floor was crowded and many had to go away and wait until tonight, in spite of the fact that the manage~ ment put forth every effort to ac- commodate the crowd. The famous Pathe Frere Passion Play cast an environment about the audience which held the vast crowds in almost breathless silence through- out the whole play. The under- current of tender sentiment, love and compassion which permeates the entire drama, compels silence and close attention which commands could not enforce. Thousands of people go many miles each year to witness the beautiful and facinating passion play at Oberammergan, Bavaria. At an expense of nearly $10,000 the promoters of this enterprise have succeeded in getting an exact repro- {duction of this famous play. The reproduction consists of two miles of film, and was taken under the personal supervision of Prof. Alexis, Oberammegan. The reproduction is so complete that the audience can easily imagine that they are witnessing the great original in Bavaria, instead of miles of life-size moving pictures. The usual vaudeville attractions will be presented tonight besides a splendid duet by the Misses Blanche Boyer and Olive Miller, and also a song, (The Holy City) by Prof. Rood. On Sunday evening the entire en- tertainment as above mentioned, will be given together with a duet by Miss Boyer and Miss Mabel McTaggart. Instead of charging twenty-five cents as is customauy for this play, the Bijou Co., charges the regular price of fifteen cents. The Bijou Theatrical Co. BOARD OF EQUALIZATION MEETS MONDAY MORNING At That Time the Equalization of Real and Personal Taxes Will Be Considered. Taxpayers of Beltrami county, who are not satisfied with valuation set upon their property in the tax rate will have an opportunity to explain to the county commissioners, who will sit as a board of equaliza- tion next Monday. The board will go into session at that time and continue as a board of equalization for a number of days, or until their work is completed. The assessors of the different assessment districts, townshipsand villages have turned in their books and since that time there has been great activity in the auditor’s office getting the tabulated statement ready for this meeting. As one or two of the assessors have falled to report the totals have not yet been made up, therefore we are not in a position to furnish this valuable information to our readers. Every year this board meets to hear complaints, and whenever there appears to have been an injustice done, this board will gladly rectify same. The amount of taxes set upon personal property is assessed each year, while the taxes set upon real estate will hold for two years, unless, during the second year considerable improvements have been made or through fire, the buildings have been destroyed. Occassionally mistakes are made by assessors in making valuation, or assessing property in the wrong place. This is not altogether the fault of the assessor, as they must take conditions as they appear to them, they knowing full well that the county board will take care of any injustice or wrong.™~ However, if no complaint is made to the county board of equahzahon while it is in session. the taxes will be afflxed and charged, as upon the assessor’s returns. Taxes levied for this year must be paid by February 28 next year on personal property and on real estate at least one-half must be paid by May 31, while the remainder may be left until October 31. The Brinkman Family Theater. The three DeLoys gave another performance at the Brinkman last evening and the change of act was appreciated by those present. In their laughable Dutch sketch they present one of the best comedies ever seen at the theater, and caused much merriment. Mr. E. Homan Nestell, who is now filling an engagement with Manager Brinkman, sang “Sweet Polly Primrose.” 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 itis presenting at all times the best pictures and vaudeville that is west of Chicago, it being on the most vopular circuit. Don’t forget, a dollar show for 15c. Hearing on Injunction. Grand Rapids, July 17.—(Special to Pioneer.)—The hearing on the injunction proceedings brought by E. J.

Stossmeister, of the Brainerd Commercial College in the City.—Considers Bemidji Good Place For An Up- To-Date College.—Will Start At Once. The city of Bemudji is in a fair way soon to enjoy one more metro- politan advantage. Mr. A. E. Stossmeister, who estab- lished a high grade business school in Brainerd,is in the city planning to establish a similar institution here. The prominent citizens of Brainerd are unanimous in their praise of Mr. Stossmeister and the Brainerd Col- lege. To have a meritorious commercial training school here were a consum- mation devoutly to be wished. “The spirit which thrills the dawning century, is the spirit of business,” remarked the great Em- peror William, not long since, and the Saturday Evening Post reads the signs of the times in these words: “Business proclaims itself boldly and able, honorable gentleman deserves. Poor Richard used to say: bank draws $400 per year. twenty=five thousand dollars. THE MANAGER, S. F.

ACTION, intelligent action, not thought, is the salient ingredient of success. Youu cannot reasonably hope to win without knowledge; without immediately useful § | preparation. Mediocrity has been in the saddle a long time, but its days are numbered. The college in Bemidji will present an up-to-date, comprehensive course of study. The school will be delightfully domiciled and will thoroly equip young men and women for the battle of life.

It suffers not from over- crowding. It has no fault to find with opportunities. It is the age itself, with all its abounding activi- tiesand energies.” It is to be hoped that the young men and women of this section can also read the signs of the times and that the people of Bemidji will afford this institution substantial encour- agement. The time to give it the breath of life is when it is born, not six or three months hence, but now. The school will influence many young people to come to Bemidji each year, and the college litera- ture will be helpful in a large degree to advertise the advantage of our city. The young people on the ground will avoid the expense of boarding away from home. There will be a night school also, and common English branches will be taught to those whose education has been neglected. Such things will make for a greater and better Bemidji.

The waves were rough and by the time they reached the other end of the lake the baked beans which they were taking with them had changed to soup so they were forced to eat dinner instead of tea.
