ole OLSON WILL BE
HERE MONDAY, SEPT. 20
Is the Most Famous Swedish Dialect
Play on the American Stage
Today.

The famous Swedish dialect sue
cess, Ole Olson,", which is under
lined to appear at the City Opera
House, Monday, Sept 20, furnishes
a quaint picture of the development
of the awkard and untutored immi-
grant lad into the shrewd, honest
and helpful Swedish-American of the
Northwest:
The story of this pleasing little
play, is combination of wholesome
comedy and natural heart interest
stage replica of just such scenes as
are enacted around many family
hearthstones. In its good-natured,
wholesome comedy, its touches of
pathos and it's utter freedom from
straining for effect, the play offers
a good example of wholesome enter
tainment and we'll deserved as its
continued success. 1t will be pre-
>ented with the same scenic environ
ment and competent company that
has had so much to do with it's
uccess in the past.

The first event on the program
was motorcycle race between R.
A. and L. Woods, the distance being
five miles.
The race was close and exciting,
first one of the. contestants leading
and then the other. The first half
mile was made in So seconds with
L. Woods in the lead. The propo-
sitions were alternated up to the last
mile, R. A. Woods finally winning
the race, comparatively easy. The
first lap of the fifth mile was made
in So seconds. The time for the
entire five miles was nine minutes
and fifty-two seconds, which is very
good time, considering the coudi-
tons of the track, not being banked
high enough for fast motorcycle
racing.
L. and R. A. Woods are, members
of the Woods Motor company of
Minneapolis. They make a speciality
of motorcycles and are expert riders.
Their work here was very acceptable
to the fair management.
The first heat of the half-mile
bicycle race, best two out of three,
brought out Ralph Oracle, Stanley
Knott, Morris Ryan, Ed Sawyer, w.
Johnson, Claude Wells and Oscar
Larson. A strong wind was blow
ing and it was hard work for the
boys to pump their wheels around
the half mile. Ralph Oracle won
the heat with w. Johnson second
and Oscar Larson third, the time for
the half mile being 1:43 3-4.
Oracle won the second heat with
Wells second and Larson third.
Johnson got mixed up with another
bicycle and had a nasty fall, but
finished fourth, and Johnson, Wells
and Larson divided second and
third money.
Between these heats Prince Hal
paced a couple of warming up
miles and the big PAGER looked
"tt as fiddle" for his trial against
the track record of 2:14A.

FAIR OF 90 CLOSEDLAST
EVENING; WAS FINE RACING
Prince Hal Reduced Track Record One Full Second
Races We're Exciting. -Fair Was of Great Bene-
fit to the County,

The fair of 'O9 closed last even
ing, when the last heat of the half
mile running race was concluded;
and the crowds which filed out of
the gates were loud in their praise of
the splendid manner in which the
program of races and special at
fractions had been conducted, as
well as the very efficient handling
of the other departments of the fair.
Continued pleasant weather drew
a crowd of about 1000 to the
grounds, and as there was something
doing during the entire afternoon,
the interest never Jagged.
All of the judging had been finish
ed the previous night and the ex-
hibitors knew exactly what they
had won, and those who were not
fortunate to win prizes were con-
tent in that every exhibit was one
of merit, whether prize-winners or
not:
At 100 o'clock p. M, Prof. Thayer
made very successful balloon
ascension and parachute leap. The
balloon rose gracefully and travelled
off towards the northwest with
Thayer hanging on the trapeze
from the parachute, giving a very
clever performance, as the balloon
went up into the clouds. When he
cut loose from the parachute, he
came down gently and landed in
some trees, scratching one of his
legs, but was not otherwise injured.
Owing to the fact that but few
thought he would 60 up before late
in the afternoon, the crowd that wit
messed the ascension was COMPARE
lively small.
The races were the best that were
ever pulled off IN Bemidji. The pro-
gram was an excellent one and in
cluded pony running races, by both
Shetlands and larger ponies; motor
cycle races, foot races, bicycle races,
and a splendid exhibition of pacing
against time by Prince Hal, who
succeeded in lowering the track har-
ness record by a full second.

You are going far away,

Wherever you may go.
Tan you look me in the face
And say the sane. Jeannot?

And the beautiful cockade,
Oh! | fear yen will forget
All the promises you've made:
With your gun upon your shoulder,
And your bayonet by your side,

And be making her your bride;
You'll be taking some proud lady
And be making her your bride.
Or when glory leads the way.
You'll be madly rushing on,
Never thinking if they kill you that
My happiness is gone;
If YOU win the day, perhaps,
A general you'll be.
Tho I'm proud to think Of that,
What will become of me?
Oh! if J were Queen of France,
Or still better, Pope of Rome,
l would have no fighting men abroad,
No weeping maids at home.

Or if kings must show their light,

Be the only men to fight;
