Something Particularly Good at the
Bii0u T0niaht.

A multitude of people witnessed
the performance of Petrie and Budd,
last night at the Bijou Theater, and
that this team far excells any vaude-
vile team that has ever appeared in
Bemidji, everyone freely admits.
Their act is composed of singing,
dancing, eccentric comedy and
comic acrobatic feats that will make
any person laugh, who has one bit of
fun in their composition.
The patrons of the Bijou have no
doubt noticed that the Bijou CON-
pany never advertise that at actor
is great" until after their first
nights play. They do not go ahead
and recommend everything indis-
criminately as being good unless they
have real merit, but they do ask
you to turn out tonight and see one
of the best performances you have
ever witnessed in this city. The act
of Petrie and Budd is clean, good
and all the way through, though
sparkling with wit and humor, is
clothed in the very best language.

J. A. Hoffman of Little Falls

E. G.. Fitzgerald and his boys

but also determination to come

Five Persons Drowned by Flood Near
Wellington, Kan.


Wellington, Kan, June so.-Five
persons are known to have been
drowned and a number are missing as
a result of the overfiowing of Hargis
creek, east of this place, which was
caused by cloudburst north of here.
The known drowned are: Mrs. Shir-
ley Sherman, a young married woman,
washed from the top of her house;
Mrs. Edward West, Mrs. Sherman, a
baby daughter of Santa Fe. engineer
named Hurst and an unknown negress.
The first warning of the flood was
when water began to seep into the
houses along Harvey and Lincoln
streets. Within an hour it had reached
it's crest. Numbers of people foated
away in their houses or on the roofs,
many of them Selling the limbs of
trees as their houses foated by and
pulling themselves to places of safety.
During the entire night men and boys
worked industriously in canoes rescu-
Ing people from treetops and the tops
of houses.

hour and five feet of water flowed

AFTER TALK WITH BRYAN
Delegate Says Strong Anti-Injunction
Plank Is Likely.

Lincoln, Neb., June 30.-After an
hours visit with William J. Bryan
Judge w. w. Black of Everett, Wash,
delegate to the national Democratic
convention, declared that he believed
the national platform would contain a
strong anti-injunction plank. The
plank in the Republican platform is
considered weak by both the corpora
tions and the laboring men, according
to Judge Black, but the Democratic
platform will speak in no uncertain
terms, he believes.
John w. Kern of Indiana was the
only candidate for the vice presidency
mentioned by Mr.. Black. He thought
geographical location would have moth
ing to do with the selection of a can
didate for vice president. The candi-
date must first of all be Bryan man,
he said. John w. Kern would be en-
tirely acceptable to the Bryan men Of
the country, according to Judge Black.

SEVEN KILLED IN CYCLONE
Wind Storm Partially Destroys
Town of Clinton, MINI.

Ortonville, Mimi, June 30.-Seven
persons were killed, eleven seriously
injured, sixty others hurt and thirty
three buildings completely demolished
by a cyclone which struck the village
Of Clinton, short distance north of
this city. Property to the value of
S145,O0 was destroyed.
The storm covered an area of 800
yards wide and four miles long and a
tour along the path of the storm shows
desolation as complete as it is possible
to picture.
People who have experienced other
tornadoes say that this left the most
complete ruin in it's wake of any in
their experience. The marvel is that
so few were killed and that the list
of injured isn't longer.
The storm first struck the earth
outside of town, where a number Of
buildings were demolished and three
people killed. Coming to the village
of Clinton the real havoc was done.
All the southwest corner of the town
is absolutely cleaned out. Thirty
three houses were completely de-
stroyed and twenty-five practically
ruined
Everywhere are the usual evidences
Of wind storms, chickens stripped of
their feathers and branches driven
through the trunks of large trees.
The devastation in the city is al
most wholly among the smaller prop
erty owners whose homes represented
their total savings. These people have
been stripped of everything, in many
cases not having sufficient clothing in
which to appear on the streets.
A part of the cyclone which wrecked
Clinton struck mixed train as it was
leaving the station. The thirteen cars
were lifted from the track and hurled
into the ditch. Two of the cars were
demolished.

FEW CONTESTS TO SETTLE
Democratic Committee Will Hear Evil
dence July 6.

Denver, June 30-1t has been ar
ranged, in accordance with the GUS
tom of the Democratic party, that all
contests for seats on the temporary
roll call of the convention will be
heard by subcommittee Of the ma
tional committee, which is to meet on
July 6. Although it is permissible for
any contestant to file notice of his
forthcoming protest as late as the day
on which the subcommittee will meet
it is not believed by the members of
the national committee that the num-
Der will be sufficiently large to con-
sumo more than portion of the single
day set apart for the hearing of evil
dence. The findings of the sub-com-
mittee will be turned over on the
night of July to meeting of the
full committee, which will have its
report ready for presentation when
the convention is called to order on
the following day.

Not even draft of the anti-injunc-

1t is realized on all sides that the

great Importance and it will not be

is not to be expected therefore that
Mr.. Sullivan has concerned himself

JUDGE SEEMS FAVORABLE
ThaW May Secure Jury to Pass
on His Sanity.

White Plains, N. Y, June 3d.
Harry Thaw's chances for jury trial
as to his sanity appear to be very
bright. At the conclusion of argument
before Justice Mills in the supreme
court here the justice said:
II believe it should be only a matter
Of time when this man ought to have
a jury trial. I am not prepared to
say whether it should be now or later"
The judge then ordered that Thaw
should be detained in the Poughkeep-
sic jail and adjourned the case to July
13, when new arguments and amdavits
will be submitted. Thaw was taken
back to Poughkeepsie
New York, June 30.-Justice Dow
ling has denied the application of
Harry X. Thaw to be removed from
the Matteawan state asylum for the
criminal insane to some other institu-
ton. The decision says: IF after
sufficient observation it is found proper
to remove him to some other institu-
ton the state authorities can so act"
Justice Dowling's decision further
declares that Thaw is dangerously
insane person, "who is not to be pun
1shed, but to be kept under the proper
restraint that he may injure neither
himself nor any one else;" and says
that the affidavits submitted set forth
absolutely no reason why the change
desired should be made

City Of Mexico, June 30.-The inter-
nal troubles in Mexico, which devel-
oped several days ago along the north
ern border of the republic, have de-
veloped serious features The storm
now centers around the city of Tor
reon and In the country between that
place and Jaral, where bandit bands
are operating in conjunction with the
insurrection1sts. Government troops
are rushing to the scene. Already
1900 federal soldiers have reached
T0rreon to reinforce the garrison
there, 200 more have reached Juarez
and in Chihuahua soldiers are patrol
ling the streets and the public houses
and jails are heavily guarded. In view
Of the latest developments Ambassa-
dor Creel, who has been here on what
promised to be a long leave of alb
sence, has been Instructed to return
to Washington without delay.
1t is the belief of the Mexican gov.
eminent that the revolutionary move
ment now in progress was fomented
by a band of agitators who long have
made their headquarters in the United
States. On this ground, it is believed,
Ambassador Creel will appeal to the
United States authorities to assist in
experimenting some of the revolution
lists, particularly those who were con-
cerned in the attack on Las Vaoos.
The request will be made also that if
any of the ringleaders in the move
ment are captured in the United
States they are to be tried in the
courts of that country on charges of
violating the neutrality laws.
j., At Las Vacos, where the first seri-
Gus attack was made, the government
has gained the upper hand. Troops
are now In complete control Of the
situation in that city, the rebels and
bandits who composed the attacking
force having been driven back to the
mountains. They will not be permit
ted to rest there undisturbed, how
ever, as the government purposes to
make an example of it's foes as an OBJ
ject lesson to others who might join
the movement in other sections. To
this end a large force of cavalry has
been sent into the hills on the heels
of the fugitives and the chase is now
In progress.
It is the view of the Mexican gov
eminent that Mexican citizens who
10, %h@ 1-
are common criminals and that the
contention to the contrary on the
ground that their acts were committed
In furtherance of revolutionary
movement will not hold.
