Elks, will observe flag day, Mon- day, June 14, at which time an ap- ‘propriate patriotic program will be carried out, which will include the new ritualistic work of the order which has but recently been pro- W.

E. is anexclusive organizaiion outside the jurisdiction of the United States, the appropriate observence of flag day by the order is timely. The following committee of local Elks has been appointed to have Sheriff Hazen Refused to Tell of His Experience with a Woman Cat Raiser, While on a Train Coming from St. Paul Recently. B charge of the program for Bemidji lodge: F. S. Lycan, A. G. Rutledge, J. O. Harris, E. H. Jerrard and Albert Barker. The committee has been given “Yankee” order and does not offici- ally recognize any other antleredl full power to arrange for the exercises, as to whether they will be held in the open air, in the city hall or in the lodge room. It is the intention of the committee to invite the city officials, members of the G. A. R. and the Circle, Company K, and in fact all patriotic citizens of Bemidji, this being the sentiment expressed at last night’s meeting of the Elks. The Elks’ meeting held last night resulted in placing three new brethren on the roster, they being W. W. Brown, A. B. Hazen and George Furcht, all of Bemidji. The entire managerie was “trotted out” for the benefit of the candi- dates, including the two-horned rhinocerous, a double-toothed Bel- gian blood hound, a bovolapus, a pink-eyed bat and a lingercine, but none of the three candidates “turned a hair.” They rode everything that was ridable, and took a fly with the bovolapus.

Secure your tickets GUARANTEED ATTRACTION FOR TOMORROW EVENING ‘The Power of Love” Will Be Given at the City Opera House by a Capable Company. Raymond Bell’s modern comedy- drama “The Power of Love,” is said to be in a distinct dramatic class of its own. The situations are taken from real life, some of the action having really taken place at the time of the Denver Boom and the discovery of the Blooming Daisy lode. The author pieced these occur- rences together in such a way as to make a neat, interesting play and liberally added comedy to give it vim and cheerfulness. The story is of an old farmer and his wife and daughter. The wife, being a kind and loving mother and desirous of living a quite life, is satisfied with her hum- ble home in the suburbs, but the aquiring of unexpected wealth drives the father money-mad and he forces his wife and daughter to go New York and mingle in society. Their many experiences and em- barrassing situations afford excellent material for good acting, and Ray- mond Bell and his company have early, One Ladies’ green, silk lined, $3R Suit, cize 34, TIOW evvieeeeeeeveeiiine One Ladies’ black serge S $18.00 garment, size One Ladies’ $22.50 Suit, size $25.00 Suit, size 1 case of best Prints, Muslin Un 25¢ Talcum Powder 25¢ Tooth Powder now... 35¢ Prophylactic Tooth Brushes..

STOCKHOLDER WANTS TEMPORARY REGEIVER Arguments in United States Ex- press Gompany Case, New York, June 4—Supreme Tus- tlce Guy heard arguments and re- served decision on the application of John L. Dudley, a stockholder in the United States Express company, for the appointment of a temporary re- ceiver for that corporation. Counsel for Dudley told the court that the in- solvency of the company was not claimed. On the contrary, the com- pany apparently had few debts and ample assets. The trouble was, he said, that the shareholders had no voice in the management and were seeking a means through which such voice might be acquired. He assert- ed that officials of the company, to the detriment of the United States Express company, had diverted busi- ness of that company to other ex- press companies through agreements with such companies. General denial of the charges was made by ex-Judge Morgan J. O’Brien, counsel for the company, who submit- ted affidavits by the president, ex- United States Senator Thomas C. Platt, and by other officers of the company. Senator Platt, in his affidavit, de- clared the charges of conspiracy in the complaint to be without founda- tion and asserted that the company had at all times been managed for the best interests of the shareholders. The salaries received by the officers were declared to have been always reasonable. EVEN DRUGGISTS GO “DRY” Deocide to Cut Out Selling Liquor on Prescription.

SITUATION MORE SERIOUS Latest Branch to Become Affected Has Been of Great Aid in Handling Traffic Since Walkout on Surface Lines—Nonunion Employes Taken From Cars in Several Localities and Badly Beaten. Philadelphia, June 4.—The elevated and subway system of the Philadel- phia Rapid Transit company, which has been a bulwark of strength for the company since the strike began, is tied up by a partial strike of the gmployes. The trouble started when % westbound train reached the Forty- sixth street station. Here the crew deserted and the car was run to the Sixty-ninth street terminal by men sent out from that point. Subse- quently other crews deserted their trains at the Sixty-ninth street ter- minal. The company’s officials would not discuss the situation, but the ticket windows were closed and the crowds on the platforms took to the streets. C. O. Pratt, the strike leader, an- nounced that 85 per cent of the serv- ice on the elevated and subway sys- tem is tied up. The company claims there is no strike; that a few crews quit and their places were filled. It is understood some of the men who stopped work returned to their trains when assured of protection. They are sald to have quit because they were afraid of violence. Ample police pro- tection now accompanies each train. Disturbances Are Renewed. A serious disturbance occurred in Northeast Philadelphia when a crowd attacked two trolley cars which were manned by imported workmen. The windows in the cars were broken, the car crews were seriously beaten and many persons in the crowd were hurt by flying bricks. Several arrests were made: As a result of the disturbances in Kensington Lieutenant of Police ‘Sykes, commanding the police in the district, was suspended from duty and will be tried before a police board on a charge of failing to lead his men against the rioters. Sykes, it is said, did not leave the station house during the rioting. One block from the postoffice a crowd surrounded a car, dragged the motorman and conductor off and beat them and for a while the air was filled with brickbats. The windows and showeases of a drug store were de- stroyed by the flying missiles. ‘Women passengers in the car crouched terrified on the floor while the car windows were being smashed. Policeman McDermott was hit on the head by a brick and seriously hurt. On a riot call a patrol wagon filled with policemen scattered the crowd and made several arrests. JEFF DAVIS MEMORIAL PARK Old Homestead in Kentucky Opened to the Public. Falrview, Ky., June 4—Among the trees which have grown up about the birthplace of Jefferson Davis since the year, early in the Nineteenth century, when the Davis family removed to Mississippi, the Jeff Davis Memorial park was simply dedicated here. In September, 1907, when the sur- vivors of Kentucky’s famous “orphan brigade” met in Glasgow, Ky., at the grave of General Joseph H. Lewis, former Governor Governor Bollvar Buckner of Kentucky, their comman- der, broached the plan of the Jeffer- son Davis Memorial association. Sub- scriptions were started, the women of the South aiding, and when all but $4,000. had been raised to purchase seventeen acres at Fairview General Bennett H. Young, commanding the Kentucky division, United Confeder- ate Veterans, advanced that sum and made the memorial possible. Oratory, music and flowers made the day notable. A basket dinner and a barbecue were provided by the peo- ple of Todd and Christian counties, which share equally the town of Fair- view, and when General Young, as chairman, opened the meeting the homestead of the Davises was crowd- *d. General Young of Louisville made the chief address of the day. The plan is to raise $30,000 more, with which to build a memorial tem- ple to contain all the records of the Confederacy and to remodel a two- story residence upon the Davis farm to house the widows of Confederate soldiers. Murder and Spectacular Arrest. Hamilton, O., June. 4—A murder followed by a spectacular arrest oc- curred at Middletown. The body of an aged umbrella mender was found in a lot. The head had been crushed and the man robbed of everything. The Middletown police sent to Day- ton for bloodhounds. The dogs three times led the police directly, to the home of Perry McNeal, who was ar- rested. -~
