"TiIly OIson,r. March 26th.

No dramatic writer ever hit upon
the idea of making young Swedish
girl a heroine of drama until
TILLIE OLSON" was thought out.
There have been numerous Swedis-
American dramas written for male
stars, bat this is the first one in
which the fair sex are exploited.
The only Swedish character in
TITLE OLSON" is the girl lilly.
The rest of the characters are pro-
ducts of the great Northwest, the
scene being laid first on Minnesota
farm and later in the city of Mime
apolis. lilly" proves to be very
entertaining stage creation, for she
is bright and witty and with fund
Of good humor hid beneath the i'm
perturbility for which her nation is
noted. The situations of the play
are said to be extremely amusing
and the comedy is clean cut and
scintillating with good things from
beginning to end. Some original
specialties are introduced and fine
quartette is carried for the church
scene. An adequate scenic equip
ment has been provided, every scene
being from The studio of Messrs.

Will Take Charge Wednesday.

Anton R. Erickson, whose con-
firmation as postmaster of the City
of Bemidji was recently announced
from Washington, has received from
the postofice department at Wash
ington the official certificate of his
appointment as postmaster, with
authority to assume charge of the
Office at the close of business on
March 81, which will be at the end
of a quarter, when invoice will be

long enough for the brethren to
have a brief breathing spell and
also to partake of an elegant lunch,
which was served by the Rebekah
lodge in the hall.
After lunch the work of insti-
tuting the lodge was resumed and
officers of the new Bemidji en-
campment were elected and insti-
tuted as follows:
Chief Patriarch, w., A. easier;
senior warden, N. L. Hakkerup;
high priest, G. A, Canterbury; scribe,
H. S., Annette; treasurer, J. K. Titus;
junior warden, Robert ]. Russell;
trustees, John Wilmann eighteen
months), Ben Erickson twelve
months), Frank Wagner (six
months).
1t was decided to hold the regu-
lar meetings of the encampment
on the second and fourth Wednes-
days of each month.
The work of instituting the lodge
was not completed until 3 o'clock
in the morning, and, although the
grand officers, visiting members and
the newly made members of the
Bemidji encampment were rather
tired, they enthusiastically applauded
the speeches which were made by
Grand Chief Patriarch Whittemore,
High Priest McCulloch and Grand
Scribe A. L. Bolton, all of whom
congratulated the new encampment,

Berman Opening a Success.

Berman Opening a Success.
The annual spring opening at the
Berman Emporium yesterday was
one of the most suspicious and sue.
cessful affairs of the kind ever under
taken by a local business institution.
The emporium was decorated in
manner that caught the eyes of all
who passed that portion of the city
and the window display was so
striking that everyone paused to
comment favorably on the excellence
of the arrangement.
The interior decorations were
simply lovely-the color scheme OF
Nile green and white being followed
throughout, with most pleasing effect,
and there were carnations, in red,
light pink and dark pink that lent a
very pretty effect to the color scheme,
all of which had been prepared un-
der the personal direction of Miss
Josephine Ovri, the decorator. In
fact, the decorations surpassed de-
scription of the masculine mind, as
did also the astonishing array of
goods displayed.
The splendid showing of spring
and summer ladies' wearing apparel
would have done credit to any store
in much larger city than Bemidji.
Two of the very elegant gowns
that were on display were what is
known as the Princess" effect, one
being a handsome light blue silk,
trimmed with val lace and tucks, the
other being in white silk, and also
deliberately trimmed with lace.
There was also fine display of
the latest millinery creations, in the
special millinery department..
A splendid showing of parasols
was made and, in fact, the whole
display was one which is creating NO
end of talk among the ladies of this
city, as we'll as several from outside
points who attended the opening.
The opening of the millinery
department was held last evening,
when a large number of carnations
| were given away to everyone who
visited the Emporium.
The display of new spring hats
which was shown, transformed the
| department into a veritable garden
of Eden, and the different styles
shown indicated a very careful selec.
ton of the eastern markets.
Refreshments were served during
the evening, and there was some ex
cellent music.

An encampment of Odd Fellows

Attempt to Wreck Bridge

Perth Amboy, N. j., March 26.-An
attempt to wreck the new Penpsyl-

river between this city and South Am
boy was made when a charge Of dyna,
mite was exploded near one Of the
bridge abutments. The bridge did not
fall, although it was left in a condi-
ton regarded as unsafe for the pas
sage Of trains. The police suspect
that the attempt at destruction is the
outcome of some i'll feeling over the
employment of men to build the
bridge.

ROUGH AND TUMBLE AFFAIR
Contest Continues for an Hour and
Hundreds Participate From Time to
Time-PistoIs Drawn in Several In.
stances but Not Put in Use.

Nashville, Tenn, March 26.-The
Republican state convention to select
presidential electors and delegates at
large to the Chicago convention met
at the state capitol here. For nearly
an hour after the body had been called
to order battle royal ragged. 1t was
from time to time-a genuine rough
and tumble affair precipitated by the
efforts of the Evans-Hale delegates to
take charge of the rostrum already
held by the Oliver-Austin-B rownlow
wing. The Oliver hosts, who had
como in on a special train from East
Tennessee, marched straight to the
hall of the house of representatives
and filled the big auditorium shortly
after 6 o'clock. They had a key to
the hall and marched in on the five
unsupported Evans-Hale guards and
took the room. They kept it and held
1t straight through until the hour for
the convention and when the Evans
Hale delegates walked into the room
at 10 o'clock the Oliver men were in
the saddle.
It was on the advent of the Evans
cohorts that the trouble started and
for an hour pandemonium reigned.
During the trouble more than a dozen
fist fights occurred and in several in
stances pistols were drawn. One man
produced Ratchet, which he was pre-
pairing to WELD when intercepted. A
negro delegate was knocked down by
a white man. Both were arrested and
hustled off to the police station. New
ell Sanders, chairman of the state
committee, an ardent Evans man, was
almost chicken into insensibility by
member of the Brownlow faction.
Finally the police restored order, the
Oliver men being in control.
