G0. K'S EQUIPMENT IS SOON TO BE INSPECTED Captain Hatcher, Military Store Keeper For Minnesota, Will Officially Visit Local Soldiers. Adam E. Otto, captain of Co. K, Bemidji’s crack militia company of the Minnesota National Guard, has received word from Captain Hatcher, military storekeeper for the State of Minnesota, to the effect that he expects to be in Bemidji in the near future, for the purpose of inspecting the stores belonging to the local company. Captain Hatcher states that he hasalready commenced hisinspection of the stores and equipment of the different companies that are mem- bers of the national guard, and that he is making a very thorough and painstaking examination of all paraphernalia furnished the com- panies by the state. Company K. of Bemidji, which is one of the newest of the members of the national guard, has made a very creditable showing. The company is recruited to the number of seventy- six, and the average attendance at drill has for many months been seventy-five per cent of that number, the remainder of the ‘“‘boys being ‘absent from the city. Splendid interest is shown in the affairs of the company, which, under'the able direction of Captain Otto, and old regular army officer, has become very efficient in general military knowledge. Co. K will give their annual ball on February 22. Compliments Judge Stanton. Judge C. W. Stanton of this city participated in the memorial exercises of the Crookston Lodge of Elks, last Sunday afternoon, and delivered the annual memornal address. There are few speakers in north- ern Minnesota who possess the ability of Judge Stanton; and the Crook-ton Daily Times speaks very flatteringly of the excellent address which the judge gave in that city Sunday afternoon. Mrs. Mackenzie’s Brother Very lIl. Miss Gladys Mackenzie, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. R. Mackenzie, has received word from Sioux City, Ia, that Dr. McDonald Smith, brother of Mrs. Mackenzie, was seriously ill in Sioux City and that Mr. Mackenzie is at that place, at- tending the sick man. Mr. Mackenzie will probably return to Bemidji in about two weeks. Mrs. Mackenzie is at Kingston, Ont., and is expected to return to Bemidji Saturday even- ing. HARRISON PLAYERS WILL APPEAR HERE SATURDAY Winnipeg Free Press Pays Vaudeville Company Splendid Compliment.— Ten People; Ten Acts. Bemidji theatre goerswillbe greatly pleased to learn that the next attrac- tion to play the City Opera House will be the Harrison Players.. The style of performance givc’n by the players differs somewhat from that of the usual companies playing in this city, as they are presenting a first- class vaudeville performance. There are tenpeople in the company and ten acts in the performance. They will be here for one night only. Sat- urday, Dec. 11th. The Winnipeg Free Press says of the Harrison players: “Fully: two hundred people were turned away from the box office, as tickets for seats were at a large premium two hours before the doors were open, and the patrons of this pretty little theatre were greatly disappointed, as an excellent bill —the Harrison Players—was pre- sented. Miss Lucelle Norman was a de- cided hit in the romantic Western drama, “The Wages of Sin.” heavily in his excellent work. Mr. Galvin, as the big-hearted hero, cleverly supports Miss Norman in most of her best scenes. *‘Mr. Harrison was the bad man of the act, and deserves especial mention, his portrayal of the Indian, Black Hawk, being excellent. Mr. Harrison is considered by the critics one of the best Indian imperson- ators.” Goes to Grand Forks. H. J. Turner, who has been work- ing in the J. A.
