WILL Be CHANGE IN The
N. & |. Time SCHEDULE
Passenger Trains Will Stop in Bemidji
but Ten Minutes Under New
Arrangement.

There will be quite shake-up in
the time cards on the Northern
Pacific and Minnesota & Interna-

the change will mean quite little to
Bemidji, and will shorten the running
time of the north and south-bound
passenger trains running on the NJ.

According to the latest informa.

At the conclusion of the institut
ing exercises, DR.. Reed spoke on
the qualifications necessary for a
member to be a good Redman, and
his speech was enthusiastically re-
cieved. He also paid a high com.
pliment to Bemidji, and pronounced
this city as being one of the most
beautiful municipalities he had
visited of late.
G.. Christensen, the newly-elected
sachem, gave a brief address, thank

FIRST ANNUAL MILITARY
BALL is ON FOR TONIGHT
Decorations at City Hall Are Simply
Beautiful. Ball Will Be
Big Success.

The first annual ball which will be
given by Company K (Bemidji's
militia company at the city hall
this evening gives promise of
being one of the very best dances
ever given in this city.
The committee on arrangements
consist of H. Fisk, Scott Stewart, V.
E. Kachelhoffer, Ted Winebrenner
and Alex Doran, and these gentle
men have left nothing undone to
further the success of the ball.
One of the features of the ball
will be the decorations at the hall,
particular attention having been
given this department. Messrs.
Kachelhoffer, Kelley, Fisk and
Winebrenner had charge of the
decorations, and the dance hall will
present fine appearance.
The music will be furnished by
Professor Thomas Symington's or
chestra, and the best of attention
will be paid to those participating in
the dance, which is an invitation
affair.

about the same time as now, 2:3O
p. m.
The Minnesota & International
south-bound passenger train, by
this arrangement on the N. p, will
be unable, under the present schedule,
to connect with the Duluth train at
Brainerd, and will therefore be
started from international Falls at
Sis a. M, and arrive at Brainerd at
l p. m. Returning, the M. & I.
north-bound passenger train will
leave Brainerd at 200 p. m. and
arrive at Information Falls at o:45
p. m.
The trains, under the new arrange
ments, will stop at Bemidji but ten
minutes, instead of a half hour, as
is now the case, and instead of time,
being given for passengers and train
crews being allowed half an hour for
their supper and breakfast, arrange
ments will be made to have coffee,
sandwiches, etc, served on the trains
both going and coming.
The new arrangements, twenty
minutes off the stops in Bemidji
will be regretted by the up.line bust
ness men, who have been in the
habit of looking after some business
matters here while the train was held
for the half hour and will also be
lily received by local business men
and others who have done consider
able business with passengers on the
train while stopping the half hour.

BILL FOR BRIDGE ACROSS
THE MISSISSIPPI Is PASSED
Congressman Seenerson Got Bill Through Congress Civ.
ing Permission for Steel Bridge across Mississippi
River Between Lakes Irving and Bemidii.

The bill which was introduced
in congress by Congressman Halvor
Stevenson, for permission to con-
struct a bridge across the Mississippi
river at Bemidji between Lakes Irv-
ing and Bemidji, was passed through
both houses of congress and has
been signed by the president, now
being law, and the city of Bemidj il
now has full permission from the
federal government to proceed with
the new steel bridge that has been
proposed by the city engineer and
accepted by the city council.
The bridge proposed by City
Engineer Stoner would consist of
three steel spans, of 46H feet each,
with concrete floors, and plans call

The Brinkman Theater.

The usual large crowd attended
the Brinkman Family theater last
evening and all pronounced the
entertainment the best given in the
city this week.
Jolly Zeb, the happy tramp,
appears in a comic role, and gives
the public the best he has from his
budget of fun.
Marie Stuart Dodds, the eminent
violinist, has played here before, and
the crowd which returned to hear
her is evidence of the proficiency
she hiss attained in her line of work.
There will be complete change
of pictures this evening.

for frst-class structure. in every
particular.
The cost of the bridge has been
estimated at $4,000, the city and
country to share alike equally in
the expense of the bridge. There
was passed at the last session bill
granting an appropriation of $500 to
be used in constructing bridge at
this point, but the sum must be
expended before July 1, 1908, or the
$500 is not available.
The city council has agreed to
the building of the bridge, and it is
up to the county commissioners to
do their part in the building of the
bridge; but some of the commission
ers refuse to agree to the appropria-
ton by the county, so that the
matter hangs fire, at present.

New Lodge Starts Out With Sixty Charter Members, and
Under Most Favorable Conditions.-The Great Sa.
chem, Dr. Reed, Was Present.

Bemidji Tribe of Redmen, No. 80,
was instituted in this city last even
ing, with a charter membership of
sixty, and under the most suspicious
conditions.
The work of instituting the tribe
was under the personal direction of
of DR.. Thomas Reed of Minneapolis,
great sachem of Minnesota, and the
degree work was exemplified by the
degree team of Red Cloud tribe of
Brainerd, led by George Sargent,
captain.
The meeting was held in the
Eagles hall, and there was a large
attendance of members of the order.
The class of sixty candidates
embraced men in nearly every walk
of life in Bemidji, and the member
ship is representative of the city and
its business interests.
The tribe elected the following
officers for the ensuring term: c..
Christensen, sachem; Richard Har.
mon, senior sycamore; A. B. Hazen,
junior sycamore; Joseph Harrington,
chief of records; A. Klein, keeper of
waumpum. The remainder of the

action closed yesterday, whereby a
$50 acre farm in the Town of FROM,
few miles east of Bemidji, was sold
to a party from Todd county for the
sum of $4,000.
The farm referred to was the

nicely located in the fertile region
east of this city. The purchaser of
the land is Allan Mikkelson of
Clarissa, who was greatly pleased
with his bargain and is enthusiastic
over the prospects of raising bum
per crops and engaging in dairying
and livestock raising on the new
farm.
Mr.. Moi owns considerable other
farm land in the immediate vicinity
of the farm sold to Mr.. Mikkelson,
and he will remain in FROM town

ment seems to be
regarded by many
privileges and a right which should be kept
alive by frequent use. The number who are
eager to advise the various executive depart
mente on every possible question is really
astonishing Perhaps the almost universal
rule that every communication shall receive
acknowledgment has more or less encouraging
effect for it has been noted that most of these
would be assistants IN the governing OF the
nation sending IN their suggestions at
regular intervals.
Aside from the Department OF State. which
is deluged with letters of advice, protest,
caution, and personal knowledge whenever
any question comes up between this country
and any foreign Government, perhaps the
navy is the greatest sufferer A man who has

But it is not always from the quarter-sec-
tions or the K. F. d. routes that amusing and
absurd suggestions come; some OF the widest
have been from professors and other suppos-
edly learned men. One from such source
was to the effect that the ocean charts be
marked off into small squares, like a chess
board. and that each square be numbered.

IN heavy weather.
One citizen. who was solicitous for American
supremacy on the seas became highly excited
over vision which he conjured up of our fleets
being engaged in hostilities and unable to
communicate with their bases of supplies for
three or four years. He pointed out that under
such circumstances the crews would starve
or be forced to surrender, as the vessels car
rled food supplies sufficient to last only few
months at the longest. Therefore, each ship
should be supplied with condensed chemical
foods sufficient to last for at least five years
He himself would supply the pills, of which
he was the inventor and barrel would hold
enough to last a thousand men for four or five
years.
The uniform of the sailors is another SUBJ
jeCt which provokes much advice. One
patriot suggested that the blouse be made of
blue with white stars, to represent the union
of the flag, while the trousers completed the
idea with red and white stripes. Another
man proposed that the uniform be made of
khaki, to match the army uniform ust why
it would be desirable that the uniforms of the
two services should match he failed to state.
knlckerbockers instead of the bell bottomed
trousers, was the suggestion of a third man,
he explaining that this costume would facili-
tate the mounting of ships side. This man.
unlike most OF those with suggestions, inquired
why sailors trousers were bell bottomed and
was politely informed that it was to enable
Jack to roll them up with when washing
down decks.
The number of men who desire to sell to
the Government plans for unsuitable ships,
life preservers equipped with small motors and
food supplies, and the like speaks well for the
inventive instinct OF America. The only
trouble is that their ships, life preservers, etc,
won't work
Oddly enough President Lincoln once at
tempted to enter the ship improvement field
