Good.Sized Crowd Participated in the
Dance. The Music Was
Very Good.
THE HALL WAS BEAUTIFULLY
DECORATED WITH LODGE COLOR
Committees Did Their Work WeiI.--Pro-
ceeds Will Be Devoted to
Charitable Purposes.

The charity ball given in the city
hall last evening, under the auspices
of the Bemidji Lodge No.. 1852, B.
B. O. E., was one of the most sue
cessful affairs of the kind ever hel d
in the city, from social standpoin t..
While the number who attended
was not quite as large as some of the
Elks had expected, yet there were
enough present to fill the floor COM
fortably while dancing.
Too much credit for the success
of the ball cannot be given to the
varions committees who were in
charge. All did their work we'll,
and the entire dance passed off with
out the least friction, and everyone
was we'll pleased.
The committee on decoration had
done their work we'll, and there were
many complimentary remarks made
concerning the beautiful manner in
which the interior of the hall had
been decorated. There were about
fifteen deer heads, which were placed
on the walls around the hall. On
the stage there were three fine large
moose heads, one to either side and
one in the middle suspended from
the ceiling; and on the stage, i'm
mediately in front Of the orchestra,
there was whole deer, which had
been decorated with the national
flag and also the colors of the lodge,
being labeled Good Old Bill" The
moose heads were tagged as being
F. S. Lycan, John C. Parker and E.
H. Jerrard. The names of many of
the other members of the local lodge

The first basketball game in which
the Big Bemidg" basketball team
will contest with an outside team
will be played in the Grand Opera
House skating rink next Friday
evening, when the local team will
have as opponents Park Rapids
basketball five.
These teams played two games
last winter, both of which were won
by Bemidji, after close and excit-
ing contest. This year the Bemidji
team is stronger than ever and Park
Rapids is said to have braced up
wonderfully in their play. There
are several old players in the Park
Rapids team, who are strong and
aggressive and who thoroughly
understand every point of the game.
They will undoubtedly give the
locals a run for their money"
The two teams are lined up as
follows:
big Bemidg"-Hefron and H.
Cell, forwards; MARKHAM or Brown,
center; G.. Peterson, Collins or
Brown, guards.
Park Rapids Howe and Petrie,
forwards; Pierce, center; Ressler and
Gage, guards; subs, Benham and
Delaney.
Much interest is being taken in
the proposed game, as the Bemidji
team has a championship bee" in
its bonnet, and they have decided
to win the basketball championship
of northern Minnesota. Bemidji

exists in the order of the Elks, and
but illustrates the fraternal chain by
which Elks are bound, one to the
other.
A good-sized sum was realized
from the dance and the proceeds
will be devoted for the purpose of
assisting the poor people of this city
and vicinity, between now and
Christmas.
The Elks desire to thank all who
purchased tickets and anybody and
everybody who assisted, and more
especially Mr.. Collins, decorator for
O'Leary & Bowser, who had charge
of the decorating the hall.
The Bemidji daily pioneer. [volume] (Bemidji, Minn.) 1904-1971, 1907-12-06

were attached to the deer heads
about the room.
Suspended from the ceiling and
reaching about to all points Of the
hall were festoons of bunting of pur-
ple.and white,the Elks' official colors.
The lighting scheme was novel
one, land lent very pleasing effect to
the entire decoration. A large num-
Der of electric lights had been
placed in the hall, a part of which
had been painted purple. Those
not painted purple had been ar
ranged so as to form what is known
as the "skiddoo" current. The
lights were burned steadily and
then were suddenly extinguished for
moment until the wire was cold,
when they would again burn. In
the rear of the dance hall had been
provided a large bowl of punch,
which, with waters, was free to all
dancers, the same being served by
William Parker and wife.
From the time the first of the
dancers began to arrive until the
last dance was closed, the various
members of the committees saw to
it that those in attendance were
given every attention, with the re-
suit that everyone had a very pleas
ant time.
The music furnished by the or
chestra was exceptionally good.
The orchestra consists of the fol-
lowing players: Thomas Syming-
ton (leader) first violin; Thomas
Britten, second violin; H. E. And
erson, clarionet; C. H. Ensign,
cornet; Miss Shannon, piano; Her
bert Wood, bass.
w. B. Mclaughlin acted as
prompter, and under his guidance
the program was carried out very
expediously.
When the hour of II O'Clock came
the lights in the hall were suddenly
turned out and there was only
visible, on the stage, the dial of a
clock, which was brought out very
prominently by the electric light.
The clock tolled the hour of eleven,
the strokes being counted by C. l..
Decker, exalted ruler of the Bemidjl
Lodge of Elks. When the tolling of
the clock ceased, E. H. Jerrard
gave the Elks' toast, Our Absent
Brothers"
The sentiment of this toast is un-
equaled by anything yet written
indicative of the fellowship which

An eminent American physician

An eminent American physician
in recent interview said: Il pre-
scribe the theatre as means of
recreation to overworked, nervous
and debilitated patients in similar
manner to what l would an outing
or any other change of environment.
Stand at the door of the theatre
when the throng seeks admission,
watch the faces that enter and you
will see lines of care and lassitude.
Within few hours these same indi-
viduals issue forth refreshed and
invigorated." He evidently referred
to the entertainment furnished by
THE Ramblers," which will be seen
at the City Opera House Saturday,
December Z. Farce comedy being
additionally the spice of life, it is
always a pleasure to recognize and
to welcome indications Of a change
in the regular sources of recreation.
This is musical farce comedy,
full Of climaxes httingly arranged.
The comedy element stands out
strong and the dialogue is crisp and
lively. The musical numbers include
much clever scoring, girls young and
laughing, display an extravagance
of elegant costumes beautifully har-
monized in color, we'll designed and
rich in material, while singing capti-
waiting airs with their refrain and
movement, From previous reports,

aiifhout q doubt give everybody their
moneys worth.

CONFIDENCE IN THE FUTURE
But at Present the Weather Is Not
just What Is Good tor
Trade,

New York, May Ar. G. Dun 81
Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade says:
Spring retail trade is backward be-
cause of the unusually late season, and
tardy distribution of merchandise is
also causing complaint of delay il
mercantile collections, but there is con-
fidence that most of the postponed
business will be made up when the
conditions become normal. Dealers
purchased freely from manufacturers
in anticipation of a record-breaking
season, and deliveries are still coming
from the millsand factories, shipments
being facilitated by improved traffic
conditions Manufacturers are active
in all leading industries, most plants
being operated full time and the out
look in the steel business could hardly
be brighter.
Projected building operations prom
Use a good demand for all materials,
but numerous small labor disputes re-
favorable reports are received from
the iron and steel industry, new bust
ness coming to the mills as rapidly as
orders are filled and few producers are
able to take advantage of premiums
offered for prompt delivery. Ore has
begun to move freely on the lakes. Ar
engagements have been made for rec
ord year, many new vessels enlargng
the carrying capacity.

READY FOR The TRIAL
Sheriff at Boise, Ida, Rents a
Complete House for the
Haywood Jury.
MEMBERS WILL KEEP EACH"
Also They VIII BE Carefully Guarded
Court Room Arrangements for
Bar, Press and Public.

Boise, Ida, May 4.-The jury which
will try William Haywood, the first Of
tho accused in the Steunenberg case,
viii keep house during the trial. The
law Of Idaho provides that such juriee
shall be kept together and in seclusiCn
from public contact, and the higher
courts have always insisted on a strict
compliance with the provision. SO,
rather than take any chances with
tile publicity OF a hotel in this case,
Sheriff Holigin, responsible for the
custody OF the jarors, has hired a
house for them. The house. an at
tractiye, well built structure, standing
on a neat lawn and garden. is just
across the street that TANKS the rear
Of Ada county court house, and within
about 200 feet of the court room.
Will he Constantly Watched.
To make the daily journeys of the
jury as direct as pssible the sheriff
has constructed a temporary stairway
from the rear OF the second story OF
the court house. It's upper landing
IS the platform of a fre-escape, and it
is reached through the ante-room OF
Judge Woods chambers. The jury
can therefore be taken directly to the
stairway without leaving the rallied
enclosure of the court room. An
official cook has been retained, and
arrangements have been made with
local stores for a good and varied sup
ply of food The house will be care
fully and constantly watched. Entry
TO the open lawn will be prohibited.
Arrangement of the Court Room.
The court room is being partly re-
constructed in order to increase seat
ing capacity both in and outside the
rail. Two unusual features of the
court room are that the jury box occu-
pies the space directly in front of the
bench, that is generally filed by the
clerk and his imposing desk. and the
witness chair is in the middle of the
chamber, between the ends of counsel
tables and directly in front of the
middle gate of the rail- The jury
faSes the room, but its chairs are on
othvels that may be swung around to
pure the judge. The witness chair is
on a platform and is visible from all
oints in the room.
