INTERNATIONAL HOTEL
DESTROYED BY FIRE.
Big Hotel at Turtle River Burned, with
All the Contents. -Over-
heated Stove.

Turtle River, March 27.-(Special
to Pioneer. The International
Hotel, one of the largest hotels north
of Bemidji, was destroyed by fire
Tuesday night entailing loss of
several thousand dollars, which is
only partially covered by insurance.
The fire is supposed to have been
caused from stove in the parlor of
the hotel, which it is believed ex-
ploded. Before the flames were dis
covered, the whole room was ablaze
and the fire got such Roadway that
it was absolutely beyond control.
People could not get into the hotel
on account of the intense heat and
the large volumes of flames that
poured out from every door and
window. ..
"A large number OF volunteers
got out the big pump and by
very hard work succeeded in saw
ing the A. O. Johnson meat mar
ket, which is only twenty feet away
from the big hotel. ....-
1t is almost impossible to esti-
mate the damage sustained by fire
and the amount of the insurance.
The international hotel building was
owned by w. E. Hyatt, who now
lives at Fowlds, MINI. The burn
ing of the hotel removes one of the
old landmarks of that vicinity and
is serious loss to Turtle River.

Beginning at 4 o'clock this p. m.
and lasting until 9 o'clock in the
evening, an election will be held in
the Central school house in this
city for the purpose of voting on the
proposition of bonding the indie
pendent school district of Bemidji in
the sum of $4,000 for the purpose
of purchasing site for a school
house and erecting a substantial
school building thereon.
The exact proposition is embodied
in the head of this article where it
can be plainly read by everybody.
The location is, we believe, as good
as any that could be secured at the
present time; and we also believe
that the proposition as put before
the voters should be carried.
At the election held some time
ago there was very poor attend
ance of the legal voters of the
city. 1t is hoped that every voter
(Which includes ladies who are
legal voters) will vote on this
proposition, so that a full and COM
plete expression of opinion may be
had. III

TiIIy Olson" Was Fine.

The performance of "Tilly Olson,"
which was given at the city opera
house last evening proved to be
very clever show. The leading part
of Title Olson" was taken by
Emily Erickson Green" whose
name in private life is Mrs. Amelia
Munich of Crookston, and made
distant hit with the audience here.
Her conception of the part of the
green Swedish girl was very clever.
She has very laughable dialect and
is undoubtedly leading imperson-
ator of feminine Swedish character
in the United States, at least she is
given that reputation by the lead
ing dramatic papers. Her work
last night brought forth rounds of
applause which was given unstint-
edly all through the performance.
The balance of the company were
capable and the entire4 performance
was gone.
The next performance at the opera
house will be given next Monday
evening when 'On the Bridge at
Midnight sensation scenic melo-
drama, will be given.

for its success, that it cannot be
played by an ordinary company. It
requires accomplished comedians and
strong actors of serious roles. The
character of the blind mother one of
the most appealing of it's kind is in
competent hands. Her search for
her kidnapped child is most pathetic
but there are many incidents of pure
humor.
