Total Number Must Be Disposed of
In One Week to Insure Big
Success.
FOR UNIVERSITY ATTRACTIONS
Will Admit to All Evening Entertain
ments-Boy Camp Tents
Ordered.

Thirty Bemidji business men have
formed a big committee to sell 800
season tickets for University week by
Friday, June IA. To get the week
here, it was necessary for the Com
mercial club to guarantee the Uni
versity $500 and the season tickets
are being sold to cover this guaran-
tee. The committee believes that odd
admissions will bring in enough to
cover other local expenses.
Posters announcing the week in
Bemidji have been placed in the
towns adjacent to the city and out
siders are already planning to come
here that week to take in the enter
tainments. Other posters are being
printed which will be placed in Be-
midi, and second series for distri-
button through the country to ad-
vertise Farmers Day, June 10.
Each of the committee of thirty
has taken ten tickets and will do his
best to have them sold by a week
from tomorrow. The tickets were dis
tributed this morning and by noon
several reported that they had sold
punches of two and four each. In
addition to the committee of thirty,
season tickets are or sale at the
three city drug stores.
The tickets sell for one dollar each
and admit the bearer to each of the
evening entertainments. President
George. Edgar Vincent, of the state
University, is the headline attraction
and is backed up by tfe University
Glee club assisted by soloists and the
University Dramatic club which will
present "The Merchant of Venice"
Other evenings will be devoted to lee
lures, one of which will be demon
stration of the gyroscope and liquid
air.
This week, the University group is
in the southern part of the state and
press notices say that they are meet
ing with warm receptions. Bemidji
is one of six towns On the northern
Minnesota circuit and each of<tte en-
tertainments will spend one night in
each place. By the end of the week,
they will have visited twenty-four
towns and it is the endeavor of the
Bemidji committee to have them car
ry away the idea that Bemidji is the
best town of the twenty-four.
Six boys from Shotley have writ
ten to w. B. Stewart saying that they
will be in .Bemidji that week for the
boys camp. This camp is to be pitch
ed at the fair grounds and tenting
accommodations were ordered yester-
day for thirty boys. They will have
a special program of their own and
plenty of time will be allowed for
baseball games, hare and hounds,
swimming and fishing There are
still room for other boys and they
should write Mr.. Stewart at once.

Teddy Has a Dog Song.

EA3 = = J z ~.
Chicago, June 6-.Nine members
|of the clerical staff of the national
Roosevelt headquarters, who have ar
rived in Chicago from New York and
Washington, stirred UP the @In-
dams" in the Congress hotel with a
companion ditty to the Democratic
houn' dawg song. They proclaimed
lit aTeddy's Bull Dog" and sang it
on the way from the station. It runs
this way to the tune of Casey Jones. !"
Teddy's gotta dawg, but he amt no
hound,
He's square-jawed bull and his face
is round;
His legs is short and he's close to the
ground;
And you bet they amt kickin' Ted
dy's dawg around.
Chorus.
Square-jawed bull, and his face is
round,
Square jawed bull, ana he amt no
hound
Short legged bull, close-to the ground.
And you bet they amt kickin' Ted
dy's bull around.

No Move for Eymore.

Although committee was appoint
ed at the last meeting of the council
to consult with the Commercial club
over the annexation of Nymore, it
appears to be the general sentiment
that any such movement should come
from Nymore rather than Bemidji,
and it is probable that the action TAX
en- by the council will not result in
anything definite.
Nymore people who have been
talked with are of the opinion that
they have little to gain and much to
lose by a union with Bemidji as at
present they have full control Of their
own affairs whereas if they were TAX
en- into. this city, they would have
to depend on the action of the coun-
Gil in which they could not have a
majority.

Hearing on Saturday.

Charles Swaziland will be brought
before Court Commissioner Crowell at
10 a. m. Saturday morning for his
preliminary hearing. 1t seems to be
the general opinion of those who have
talked with him that he is not sound
mentally and there is some talk of
having him sent to Fergus Falls If
possible. Swaziland is the confessed
murderer Of Arvid Vidstrom whom he
shot and killed May 12. - .....--

Dumas MAY Be Sentenced Here.

According to state law, judge
must give three weeks published mo-
tice before holding a special term of
court. AS no such notice has yet
been published, it is probable that
DR.. Dumas will not be sentenced until
the latter part of June. Court will
be held in Bagley June Is, and it
seems to be the opinion that Judge
McClenahan will come over to Be-
midi at that time and pass sentence.
George H. Spear, of Grand Rapids, is
now appearing with counsel for Dr.
Dumas. "
