Melby| Have Acquired Controlling Inter- est in Sentinel Printing Co. - A deal has be?n consumated whereby A. B. Allen, the yeteran newspaper man, retires from active coanection with the Bemidji Sentinel, and the management of that publi- cation changes hands. Mrs. C. M. Opsahl (wife of Repre- sentative Opsahl of this city) and F. O. Melby (nephew of Mr. Opsahl) have purchased the Sentinel stock formerly owned by Mrs. Allen, which, together with the stock| already owned by Mrs. Opsahl, gives to Mrs. Opsahl and Mr. Melby the| controlling interest in\ the Sentinel. | It is announced that Mr. Melby will assume the business manage- ment of the Sentinel, under the new arrangements, ‘but who will have editorial charge of the paper is* not stated; and Mr. MelBy says--that that portion of the staff has pot yet been definitely settled upon. A. B. Allen, the retiring edltor of the Sentinel, has not yet decided what be will do, although it is quite certain that he will remain in Be- midji for the present at least. Mr. Allen, under the name of “The Growler,” is known largely all over Minnesota. He has been in- terested Jackson and other points in the south- ern part of the state, as well as Be- midji, and has a large acquaintance. When Mr. Allen. assumed control of the Sentinel, that paper was on its “last legs,” and he undertook a| @ big task in putting life into the paper and attempting to put the institution on a paying basis. This,I the “Growler” succeeded fairly well| 3 in doing, without capital, and his labors have made a fairly good paper out of the Sentinel. The policy of the Sentinel under the new management, is not yet announced, but it will undoubtedly continue to be republican, as Repre- sentative Opsahl was elected to the legislature, both two years ago and} also this fall, as the candidate of the | [ republican party.

THE ELKS’ GHARITY BALL WILL BE HELD DEG. 16 Date Changed from Dec. 11th.—Fam- ous Ainsworth Orchestra Secured to Play for Dance. The committees, who are arrang- ing for the Elks’ Annual Charity ball, have decided to give the ball on December 16, instead of Decem- ber 11, as was originally intended. The changing of the date was made in order that the Elks might have the services of the famous Ainsworth orchestra of Minneapolis. This famous musical organization is touring the northwest and as they are to play at Crookston and other cities near here, it was ascertained that they could so arrange their dates that they could play at a ball to be given here on the night of December 16. The organization will give several selections (a sort of concert) before the dance and 1 they wiil furnish music for the ball. The committees are working together very harmonously and from present indications the Elk’s Annual Charity Ball promises to be one of the most successful events of the kind ever held in this city. As there are 126 members of the local lodge and as undoubtedly all of them will take tickets, it is cer- tain that there will be a splendid attendance at the dance. The invitations are being issued today and each Elk is allowed to invite a friend, but any one who attends the ball must produce an invitation, together with a numbered ticket, before they will be allowed to participate in the dance. The following are the committees - | who have charge of the dance: Executive Committee—]. O. Har- ris, J. C. Parker, W. J. Markham. Printing Committee—A. G. Rut- . |ledge, A. B. Allen, W. N. Bowser. Decorating Committee—]. C. Parker, J. H. Foss, Bert Barker, A. L. Wyler, Eric Ives, Dr. Palmer. Music—E. H, Jerrard, A. P. White, W. L. Brooks, F. S. Lycan. Floor—Bert Barker, Oscar Ervig, W. L.
