CHANGE AT The BIJOU
Feature of Bill for Last Half Of Week
Richard Harding Davis The
Crucial Test.

For Thursday, Friday and Saturday
of this week, the Bijou has an entire
change of programme for the enter
tainment of its patrons. The feature
picture of the bill is Richard Harding
Davis story of the Spanish American
war, The Derelict.
The motif Of this story centers
about Claiming, a derelict reporter,
who happened to be stranded in Cuba
and witnessed the engagement and
flashed the news to a certain great
daily in New York, scooping the other
papers. Claiming was an able re-
porter sent down to Santiago but was
fired because he didn't send back
enough news. The new man came
down and Charming became a floater.
Heating the successor to Claiming
falls into the ways of so many news
paper reporters who wait for some
thing to turn up and gets dead drunk.
Claiming, by chance, gets job as a
deck hand on a tug in the river, sees
the whole engagement. wires the copy
back to the paper in Keating's name.
Heating returns to New York detected,
but is surprised to hear that his paper
scored a scoop on the story. Chan
ming returns, a human derelict some
three months later and applies for a
job in his old office. Heating shows
his manly side by telling the man
aging editor that Charming was the
real star of the Cuban episode.
Two other entertaining films follow
and an illustrated song with special
music by the Bijou Trio complete this
excellent Bijou BILL

GOOD CASS CO. YIELD
Farm Near Sheyenne River Produces
Thirty-six Bushels to the Acre,
Which Shows up Well.

One of the northern immigrant farms
on the Sheyenne river yielded thirty
six bushels to the acre, which is a
pretty good criterion of what the Red
river valley crop win be this fall.
Sidney T. Adams, in speaking Of the
yield of this farm this morning to a
Forum representative, said he thought
this ought to be good indication of
what the 1911 crop will be.
THE announcement OF what Cass
county farms can yield viii be no detri-
ment to North Dakota, and will great
ly tend to attract more people to the
state" said Mr.. Adams. That is what
should be DONE instead of the dis
couraging reports that some have been
making when they come into the city.
What the North Dakotans should do
continually is to boost

up at two or three special meetings
this summer, which were called es-
pecially by the exalted ruler, and 1t is
one that should interest every Elk in
Fargo. The opportunity Is here to ac-
quire such q new home that will be
beneficial to the lodge and an orna-

Der of $50 on the proposal OF purchas-
ing building and issuing 100 life
memberships, increasing the fees
lightly, and to come prepared to can

of the PLAN
The proposition is for every Elk to
participate in and to express his own
opinion whether the Fargo lodge shall
have its own home. When plans were
first made, it was supposed that only
about $50 members would attend the
banquet, but the exalted ruler and Sec
rotary have been notified that at least
that many have already indicated they
would be present and reservations for
covers are coming in continually so
that the banquet bids fair to be per-

lodge ever held.
From this 1t would seem a wise
thing to get in early and send in to

An entire wing Of the building was

State Hospital for the Insane at Nor
ris Plains at 7.45 this morning when
woman patient set fire TO eight
beds. The patients in this wing are
crowded and are most excitable
Smoke filled not only the dornitory
but the large dining room near It and
the adjacent wards The excitement
was intense and the patients we're
very hard TO manage.
Or. Britton d. Evans, his assistants
OF the medical staff, the nurses and
Eattendaits al hurried 10 the ward
and had hard time to keep the pa
tients within bounds. The members
Iof the hospital fire department LETT
their various duties about the build
Fings and grounds and hurried to
answer the alarm. The fire was soon
extinguished but the patients We're
not quieted for hours. A most seri
Gus disaster was only averfed by the
prompt action OF the officials and
nurses. No one suffered Injury, how
ever, not even the womaa RESPONSE
bic for the fire, whose dress caught
fire but was extinguished before she
received bodily harm.
OF recent years the number of such
fires as that Of this morning have
been many. The main, or oldor.
building OF the hospital is lighted by
gas. A delusonal patient Or those
determined to do mischief take adj
vantage of this despite all that the
authorities can do. They take towels
sheets or pieces of paper and ignite
them from she gas lights, though the
latter are protected as far as possi-

fires fancying they win be means of
escape from the hospital; others that
they will punish the authorities who
keep them in restraint while still

The danger to the lives of the pa
