the Union Choral society will be held
tonight at the Methodist church at
p. m. 1.-THE Holy City," by Gaul,

early date and the rehearsal tonight

Wenatchee Autoists at Twisp.

The first auto party to actually
arrive within the city limits occurred
last Saturday, when two cars came
whizzing up the road and rounded
the corner down one of the main
streets to the establishment of an
unsuspecting public. The streets
were well lined with people, and the
automobiles each carrying large
party, were an imposing sight in the
burg, out of the ordinary.
The two automobiles were those

MINSTREL SHOW BAD
Voices We're Poor and Jokes Were
Not Worthy of the Name.

&c. O'Brien's Georgia Minstrels
have come and gone and they went
faster than they came; in fact,
they hustled out of town. Those
who saw the show say that it was
the worst preparation of the year
and that beside the minstrels,
"Maloney's Wedding Day" was a
winner.
There are two classes of shows
that the average man enjoys. The
first is a clean show put on by
good company, pleasing and en-.
tertaining; the second is just about
the opposite and is so poor that i,
is funny. The minstrels belong tt
the second class. -
Usually in a minstrel show, there
are one or two good voices, bu1
it was hard to find good one last
night. Two much outdoor singing
had ruined what good qualitie!
they had ever possessed. The joke

band was fairly good but with tha
exception, the whole show wa
pretty bad. .:

JAILED AFTER SAVING
LIFE OF PROSECUTION
Flagman's Stone Kept Peddler From
Stepping in Front of East
Express Train.

Spokane, Wash, July &c. ].
Lynch, a hagman stationed at the
Oregon Railroad & Navigation com.
pany's crossing at Hamilton street
in this city, saved the life of Louis
Gambost, a Greek fruit Yender, by
hurting a stone, which struck the
man between the eyes and stopped
him from driving in front of a
passenger train, and was arrested
on complaint of the latter, charged
with disorderly conduct.
When the case was called before
Justice Mann in the city police court,
Prosecuting Attorney Crow who had
previously made an investigation,
told the court that Lynch was
unable to make Gambost under
stand that fast train was approach
ing, so he picked up a pebble and
cast it at the peddler with such good
aim as to cause him to stop, while
the train sped by, saving the mans
life.
In a mixture of Greek and Eng.
lish and with many gestures, Gam
bost informed the court that the
pebble weighed eight ounces and
that Lynch had hurled it fully one
and half blocks. Other witnesses
bore out Lynch's statement that
the throwing of the pebble saved
the lives of Gambost and his horse,
and the case was dismissed. After
ward Cambost fell upon Lynch's
Deck and thanked him.

RED RIVER CROPS IN
A HEALTHY CONDITION
Governor Eberhart Surprised at APP
pearance of Grain on Heavy
Valley Land.

Crookston, July Ex-Governor
Eberhardt who was given an auto,
mobile tour about the city last
evening. while here between trains
returning from Fertile where he
spoke July 4th while enrouteto St.
Paul. He was very agreeably sur
prised at the healthy appearance
of the graiu on all the heavy Valley
land.
1t is fact that it has lost no
ground during the past ten days
despite the fact that no rain has
fallen. The nights have been cool
and this is the only reason that can
be advanced for the wonderful power
of resistance it has exhibited in the
face of dry weather and heat.
The winter rye will be harvested
this week and stands we'll, one of the
best crops ever harvested and there
is a considerable acreage of it near
this city. The corn continues to
thrive without rain. The wheat
that is heading out keeps its color
we'll and the general feeling is more
optimistic then it has been because
of the wonderful sustaining powers
of the heavy soil.
The goveroner realizes that in
some portions of the state
where the soil is light, the
crops are badly hurt, and in places
very badly hurt, but as a whole he
does not consider conditions at all
alarming. Over 1000 people
gathered at Fertile to hear his
address.

CITY DIRECTORY ABOUT
READY FOR The PRESS
John Ley Says That the Book Will be
Ready for Distribution Early
In August.

John Ley is in Bemidji preparing
the first directory of the city. Mr..
Ley has been working on the book
for some time and has it nearly ready
for the press. He promises that it
will be ready for. distribution early
in August if the citizens will do all
they can to assist him in gathering
the material necessary. Most of
the business men and many of the
residents realize how much a direct
DRY will do for the city, but there
are few who evidently do NOT and
have rebuffed Mr.. Legs efforts to
gather the reading matter.
The directory is the one book by
which outsiders Judge city. If a
stranger comes to Bemidji now and
wants to find a friend, he has to in.
quire from the people he meets and
often does not get the desired inter
nation. 1t is much better to have
a book which contains the names of
all the citizens with their residences.
The telegraph company says that
many times it has to send back i'm
portant messages because the people
cannot be found. II
Bemidji's population in the census
report and the directory will not
agree for Mr.. Ley says that he has
found people who say that they
were not counted by the enumerators.
He will be in the city for a week
more gathering up the ends of his
information and will then leave until
the directory is published. Any
who have not been seen can phone
their names and addresses to the
Pioneer Office and they will be
handed Mr.. Ley.

"ST. ELMO" PLEASED 4
PACKED OPERA HOUSE.
Good company sent to produce grip
ping play-Harold Salter a
real St. Elmo.

The production of st. Elmo" by
the George Amusement company in
the Armory last night was a sur
prise, and a pleasant one, to all who
attended. After seeing some of the
plays which have been sent to
Bemidji, it was a relief to find that
good company was here to produce
a good play. ~.
First honors go without question
to Harald Salter who took the title
role so ably. The play is built
around this one character and with
out a strong man in the part, it
would be fiat. Nj. Slater was con-
vincing, so much that in the early
scenes he was repulsive. His face
was very expressive and added much
to his Interpretation. In the last
act, Mr.. Salter completely changed
from the cynical St. Elmo to St.
Elmo, the new rector of the church.
Miss Ernesrine Mohrle played the
part of Edna Earl'' with a convict
ion that always carried the audience
with her. Her part was strong all
through with the exception of the
scene where she is held in St. Elmo's
arms while he tells her that he loves
her. She refuses to believe him, but
Miss Mohrle made no effort to free
herself from St. Elmo's embrace.
Miss Mohrle has a pleasing person
atty and is we'll cast for the leading
part.
The rest of the company was
above average and ably supported
the principals. Rose Van Camp
made better washwoman than she
did mother to St. Elmo as she did
not put quite enough feeling into
[her second part. Lillian Montague
was not real enough in her lines
but she woke up once in the third
act. zsa
Tonight the show will begin
promptly at $3.50 and the manage
ment promises that the long waits
last night will not be repeated.
They were due to the fact that the
scenery had to be folded to fit the
stage, but when the curtain went up,
the settings were so good that the
waits were repaid. After the show
tonight, the management will enter
tain those holding tickets with a
free dance. The company does not
leave for Thief River Falls until
early tomorrow morning and the
members will attend the dance.
