ATTENDANCE IS
Still GREATER
PRISON PICTURES AT THE RlJou
FOR ANOTHER DAY so ALL CAN
SEE THEM - PEOPLE TURNED
AWAY AT ALL PERFORMANCES
DEMAND EXTENSION.

Owing to the great attendance at the
Bijou theatre last evening, the man
agement was obliged to turn people
away from all performances. The
prison pictures and lectures that have
been at this popular playhouse for the
past two days have been secured for
one day longer, having proved a re-
markable attraction and one of extra
ordinary interest.
Wishing to make It possible for all
to see these pictures. the Bijou man
agement has prevailed upon the lee
turer and his manager to stay one day
longer and today's performance will
absolutely wind up the engagement in
Fargo, the attraction being booked for
Crookston and not able to delay more
than this one day. An who have not
seen these remarkable scenes and pic
lures of the inmates of Joliet prison
and heard the very comprehensive lee
ture which accompanies them should
not miss this opportunity to do so.
The feature as given in an added
attraction and In addition to the reg
ular bill, There viii be a complete
change of programme today in the
moving pictures, three full reels of the
finest action films being shown and
a fine musical programme rendered.
Be sure and see the great bill at the
Bijou at this afternoons matinee and
an performances this evening, the last
to see the Joliet prison
pictures In Fargo.

SUSPICIOUS Nan
WITH BIG BUNDLE
MAN ARRESTED EARLY THIS
MORNING Is BELIEVED TO HAVE.
ROBBED A STORE SOME PLACE

CLOTHING AND ouEENsWARE.

The police believe that they have in
William Harris, colored man, ar
rested about 2 o'clock this morning a
man who has robbed some store or
boxcar in some part of the state.
When Harris was picked up this
morning by Officer johnson on the
charge Of vagrancy he carried q big
bundle wrapped in black oiIcloth. Har-
ris was wandering around the streets
and peering into alleys in a manner
that aroused the suspicious Of the of
ficer.
AT the station an examination Of the
bundle was made and it was found
TO contain four pairs of brand new
trousers. The trousers have never been
worn and the price and size tags on
the goods have just been torn off, the
threads showing where they were plac-
ed, not having vet been pulled from the
goods.
Besides the clothing carried by Har-
ris in his bundle he had a big bunch
of fine chinaware. There was one
enormous vase Of European make
which would be worth several dollars
~ o1tS tVputdDlS Qu6eflSWdTG store. Inc
vase stands almost two feet high and
is beautiful piece of work. About
a dozen hand painted plates are in the
collection. These plates have been
carefully packed in newspaper, which
might indicate that they were taken
from boxcar There are also several
minor pieces of chinaware which were
taken from the bundle.
Harris says that he has some adj
ditional goods, but refuses to tell where
these are located. In the police court
this morning he stated that he had
come down from Devils Lake, where
he had been for two days.
The police think that possibly Har-
ris has made a getaway with some
goods from Devils Lake or some other
town in the state.
Judge Miller held Harris over until
tomorrow when his case will be con-
tinued. In the meantime the local po-
lice department will make an effort
to get in touch with some of the towns
over the state to see if there has been
anything stolen similar to the goods
found on the person of Harris.

N. P. ROADMASTER
Died At NOON
o. II. NELSON, WELL KNOWN
RoADMAsTER AT DlLWoRTH,
WHO WAS FOUND IN HIS Of
FIcE IN HELPLESS CONDITION,
DIED THIS NOON.

o. H. Nelson, the wen known North
ern Pacific roadmaster at Dilworth,
who was found in a helpless condition
in his Office at O'Clock yesterday
morning, died this noon at a local hos
pital after having been taken there
only the day before. At the hospital
it was announced that no hope was
entertained for his recovery when he
was brought in yesterday morning at
10 o'clock, as his condition was very
serious at that time, the man having a
hemorrhage of the brain and a slight
paralytic stroke.
Authorities state that on Tuesday
afternoon, at a point near Mr.. Nell
sons office at Dilworth one Of his men
was having difficulty with a railroad
motorcycle which in a manner rather
amused Mr. Nelson, who was leaning
against door The latter In some way
gave way and Mr.. Nelson was pre-
cipitated into hole about four feet
deep.
After he reached terra firma he COM
planned of a bad pain in the region Of
the base of the neck. Later he walked
to his office alone and 1t is evident
that he must have tainted, at any rate
he was found unconscious yesterday
morning having lain there since 8
o'clock the previous afternoon. His
absence from his office, or from home
caused no concern to his wife or any,
one else for it was supposed that he
had gone to Valley City, N. D.. where
he had stated he would go on the next
train.
The deceased is well known both
in this city, Dilworth and his former
home in Casselton and among all the
employees on the N. P. line. FITS body
viii be shipped this afternoon to Cas-
selton by Undertaken Dougherty, who
prepared the remains for burial. He
was Az years of age, and is survived
by his widow, Mrs. Catherine Nelson
and one child. He was born in Sweden
and came to this country many years
ago. He is the son of Nels Swanson
and according to the custom of that
country took his fathers first name
when he attained his majority.

FARGO MAY HAVE
BED SPRING PLANT
CHICAGO PARTIES LOOKING OVER
LOCAL FIELD INDEPENDENT or
COMMERCIAL CLUB WITH VIEW
TO Bull DING FACTORY IN
FARGO.

The first steps toward making the
city manufacturing center of the
northwest, may be taken by some Chi
cago capitalists who have been MAX
ing frequent visits to this city during
the last three weeks, with the view to
building plant for the manufacture
of bed springs.
The efforts that are being made are
done independent of the Fargo Com
mercial club. as the agents of the con-
Germ who appeared here, preferred to
take the matter up quietly rather than
wait for action by that body About
three weeks ago A. l.. Rosenau OF Chi
cago arrived in Fargo to look the sit
uation over and report to the inter-
ested parties in the east who are be-
hind the project.
He appeared at the commercial club
one morning recently when a special
meeting was called there, but as the
meeting was not largely attended, Mr..
Rosenau did not present his plans
for the proposed plant and it is I'M
stood he has been working independ-
emily among the business men of the
city since that time.
His patents for bed springs are ex-
cellent and novel They will be some
thing new and saleable on the market
and will surely be a drawing card for
Fargo, should such a plant be located
here. All the business men who have
been shown the new bed spring patents
are quite interested, for they include
the latest devices for sanitary couches
and other articles along that line.
President Hardy Of the commercial
club is quite interested and stated
this morning to a Forum representa-
tive that he understood Mr.. Rosenau
was waiting in the city for partner
or other interested parties from the
east before any definite action was
taken. Mr.. Hardy stated he further
understood the factory would probably
mean an investment of about $4,000
and that in the neighborhood of 100
people would be employed.
1t has been learned that a number
of prominent Fargo business men are
being solicited for stock in the new
concern and that several collectors
have been commissioned to present
the patents and proposition to various
local capitalists who might possibly
be interested. l.. w. Maurer is said
to be one of the solicitors.
All the business men in the city be-
lieve the location of such a factory
here would be an excellent thing for
Fargo and that the promoters would
find a ready market for their prod
ucts in this section of the country. 1t
is hoped that plans will soon be for
mulated so that the plant can be built
at an early date and that operations
will be well under way before the
spring season opens.

OCCUPY FRONT.

When the Northern Trust Co. and
the Northern Savings bank expand
Sept. l, the Trust company will move
back into the rooms at the rear of the
building, which are now occupied by

will be vacated by that time
This will give the trust company
more space, and the new Northern Saw
tngs bank, which began it's operations

the building
George H. Hollister, president of the
trust company, will keep his present
office facing Broadway and just at the
entrance of the building, and Mr.. Beck
with will keep his desk where it is at
present. The changes that are to be
made will be among the offices which
occupy the cages beyond the cashiers
desk.
The partition walls separating the
banking rooms from the present law
offices, will be knocked out and thrown
into one great room, so that both the
bank and the trust company will vir-
tually be operated all in the same
space.
The officials Of the two institutions
expect to have everything in perfect
running order by Sept. Is, at the lat
est.

One of the new features in Chauncey

is the incidental music which is played
during the performance. Instead of the
audience being tired out by long over
lures or selections from popular operas,
between each act, original music in
keeping with the story of the play, is
played by the augmented orchestra,
and this is far from being the least
enjoyable part Of the performance.
