fine PICTURES
AT THE BIJOU

The photo-play critic, in writing on
Master of the Mine, the two-reel feat
ure that Is shown at the Bijou thea
ire today, says: "a tWo-reel melo-
dramic picture that is certainly d
'gripper' and clean in moral one"
Master of the Mine (Vitagraph), Feb.
10.-A two-reel melodramatic picture
that is certainly a 'gripper' n clean
in mortal tone. It. concerns two fami-
lies whose selfish fathers, one who
has a beautiful daughter, for the sake
of money, and the other to place his
duco their children to marry. 1t is a
and an unhappy one. They are sensi-
bic enough to come to an understand
ing, however, and conceal 1t from their
friends. The husband proves to be a
gentleman in all respects, courteous to
HIS wife at all times. The sons faith
er is stricken with death at the we'd
ding feast and the son becomes mas
ter Of the mine. A strike occurs and
the mine is dynamited. At tho risk Of
his life the young owner some
miners, and in turn the wife saves him
from death. This brings love to their
hearts and hapy mess. This is an ex-
traordinary picture in novel effects
and we'll worth seeing. The acting
was superb. The mob scenes finely
handled.
In addition to the two-reel picture,
an Edison, Counting Betsy's Beau,
is given. Three shows this evening,
7:3O, $50 and $50. Admission the
same popular priCe.-Advt.

SEVENTH SEASON
FOR FAIR HILLS
PLANS BEING MADE FOR MOST
SUCCESSFUL SEASON OF PoPU-
LAR SUMMER RESORT, BY ASH.
Gilman BROS, PRoPRIETORS
AND MANAGERS,

To correct al impression
that has been made by articles here
tofore published in this and other pa
pers in this vicinity, Ashelman Bros.
give the following account of their
plans for the coming season at Fair
Hills, Pelican lake, Otter Tail county,
MINI.
we are now entering upon u sew
enth season as proprietors and man
ayers OF Fair Hills, and, owing to the
demand that is being made for &C
Communications at our resort, we have
decided this year to incorporate, and
add to our accommodations the ncces-
sary room to accommodate our con-
stantly increasing trade. .
The n~cOrporators of the PROPOSE
ton are: H. B. Ashelman, president;
Geo. d. Ashelman, vice president, and
B. F. Ashelman, secretary, treasurer
and manager. The capital is $50, 900
and we will put $4,000 in improve
ments this year. These improvements
contemplate an addition to Elm cot
tage, containing twenty-three rooms
and a bath room, carrying out the
same QUAINT style OF building, which
will add largely to the natural beauty
of this part of the grounds. Six or
eight more two and three-room cot
tages will be added, and an addition
to the dining room, 25x25, will be built.
In addition to this, if the work can be
completed, We will add to the store
building, and attached to this building
will be constructed a large dance hall
30X60. The kitchen will be enlarged
and measures taken to thoroughly ar
range for the sanitation of the place
A waterWorks system for fire protec-
ton, etc, is also contemplated an6
several features in the manner OF
beautifying the grounds will be added
Fair Hills is now the best and most
favorably known summer resort il
this section of the country and oul
confidence in the possibilities of the
place has lead us to these additional
improvements, The above mentioned
improvements will practically double
our capacity and materially add to tn,
comfort and enjoyment of our patrons

NO SPLIT SAYS M'ARTHUR
Democratic State Chairman Declares
There is No Split in North Dakota
Democracy Over Plums.

State Chairman Macarthur Of the
North Dakota democratic state CEN
trail committee, who returned from
Washington last night, declares there
is no split in the party ranks over the
division of the federal plums.
He says all is harmonious and the
motive Of those who have criticised
the state democratic organization is
so apparent that it is not necessary
to do any explaining" but it is simply
the "old question of giving the calf
enough rope and he will hang him
SELF"
The state chairman, who is the new
federal internal revenue inspector un :
der the new income tax law. is much
gratified with the work accomplished
by the administration. He speaks in
high terms Of the democratic orators,
Speaker Clark and Oscar Underwood.

CONSTRUCTIVE
LEADERSHIP
THIS Is NEED, SAYS DR.. WAL
TERs-sUNDAY SAID PREACH
ERs WERE NOT WORTH CUT.
TING UP FOR sAusAGE-DoEs
FARGO WANT A REvlVAL7

Last nights audience at the First
Baptist church was one Of the largest
week night crowds that has assembled
since the special meeting conducted
by the pastors Of the Methodist and
Baptist churches began. DR.. Walters
was the preacher last night and his
sermon from Nehemiah, Il am doing
"a great work and therefore cannot
come down.. was a stirring. fervent
appeal directed to the best that is in
men. ~
der WhlCn the temple was rebuilt. and
the relation of the text to that event,
DR.. Walters applied the lessons to
modern life. He spoke of the need of
constructive leadership of the Nehe-
miah type, and took occasion to make
a Few pointed remarks with reference
to the movements for the reform that
nave been hfndered in their progress
bV the lack Of the right kind Of lead
ership. DR.. Walters referred to the
cause Of labor, and how such a move
ment has suffered because It's leader
snip has often been destructive rather
than constructive. He said that the
cause of equal suffrage needs this sort
OF leadership. W all believe our
women are as qualified as the men are
to use the ballot Alright, but when they
employ destructive methods or when
they use the Lords Day, in which to
plead their cause they are not being
led Alright"
Our story tells us hal there is
strong opposition to a great cause. 1t
has always been SO and it perhaps will
always be SO. There are folks in Far
60, in the stores and in the offices and
on the streets and in the homes, that
poke fun at a revival, sneer at chris
tian testimony. Our religious editors,
who have had no real experience in
the ministry, and many others, assert
that if preachers would but preach the
Gospel the crowds would flock into
the churches. We preacher folk are
blamed for many things. Billy Sun
day pranced up and down the plat
form and shouted to the people that
preachers are lazy, that they are rest
ing on their jobs n are not worth
cutting W. into sausage meat, mi
that it Is all our fault that folks do
not come pouring into the churches.
They say that Fargo wants a revival.
I have never seen it."
One Of the attractive features Of the
meeting last night was the large
chorus that completely filled the choir
loft and their rendition Of, Hail, King
Emmanuel. was much enjoyed.

OF all the fool bills ever introduced in
to law making body, that of the New
Jersey Assembly Judiciary Committee,
declaring the right of state officials to
ride free over the railroads of the state,
is the most absurd. The bill in question
not only increases the list of state dead
heads" but provides thatif the railroads
test the constitutionality of the act
should it prevail, and the courts decide
it to be invalid, then the charters of all
the railroads shall without any further
proceeding for that purpose, be deemed
to be null and void" That is to say, for
daring to have their constitutional rights
defined by the courts, the railroads must
more ridiculous proposition could not

patrick, DEM, of Middlesex; Agnew,
DEM, of Bergen; FISHER. DEM, of Es-
sex, and Richards, Republican floor
leader, of Atlantic. 1t is virtually a
partisan bill, as will be seen, and it is
surprising that the lone Republican,
Richards, did not have the good sense
and backbone to decline to sign the re-
port, although he is piqued at the Penn
sylvania Railroad Company for hesitat-
ing about building a costly and orna-
mental station in his home city, which
may have had something to do with his
approving the fool bill. 1t remains to
be seen how many more fat-witted MEM
bers there are in the House who will en-
dorse by their votes the absurd measure,
but there is hope the whole thing may
be farce and be so acknowledged by
those responsible for reporting the bill to
the House. The manly thing for the
legislators to do is to legislate against |
the issue of free passes to any state
fhcial, and thus be in accord with the |
Federal law on the subject Camden |
