Program.
PARADE THIS MORXIX A VERY
CREDITABLE OXE.
Big Camp Fire TonightSenator
Clapp Speaker of the
Evening.
Today is Ladies' Day at the en
campment and the ladies are do
ing themselves,.proud. The pa
rade this morning was one of the
finest ever seen in the city and
was eight blocks in length. W.
L. Hilliard of Bagley acted as
marshal of the parade, which was
participated in by the Bemidji
and Park Rapids bands, Bemidji,
Geo. N. Morgan and other visit
ing drum corps, all the? old sol
diers, W. R. Ladies of the G.
A. R., and the drill team consist
ing of school girls. Chief Be
midji, dressed in buckskins and
bedecked with beads, bells and
other ornaments was also in evi
dence. After the parade there
was an Indian war dance and
other amusement at the park and
"Uncle SamVDriU"by Mrs. Jos
lyn and the school children.
The camp fire tonight will be
conducted by the ladies,' and the
program will be an elaborate and
entertaining one. There will be
music by all the bands and dr um
corps now in town, also vocal se
lections, speeches and recitations,
drills, tableaus, etc. Senator
Clapp is expected to arrive to
day and if he comes he will be
speaker of the evening. Mrs
John Mullen, state president of
the W. R. who arrived last
night with her husband, will de
liver an address. Gen. Albert
Foster of Litchfield and the pres
ident of the Morgan Relief corps
will deliver short addresses and
others will ^briefly address the
audience. Mrs. L. Reynolds
will deliver one of her popular
recitations.
A 1:30 o'clock this afternoon
exercises at the fair grounds
were started and a crowd num
bering in the neighborhood of
2,000 was in attendance. Th
program is an attractive one. A

SPEECHMAKING IN
THE PARK
Eloquent Patriotic Addresses
Delivered Last Night From
Speakers' Stand.
IMMENSE AUDIENCE CROWDE
ABOUT THE STRUCTURE.
L. H. Bailey Delivered Address of
WelcomeGen. Torrence and
Mrs. Starkweather Respond
"With speech making at the
stand in the park', a dance at the
city hull and another at the pauiinu
vilion on Second street, and
annight.
Indian war dance near the M. &
I. depot, there was enough going
on in town last night to entertain
all Bemidjiites and their soldier
visitors.
When the speechmakiagbegan
at o'clock in the park the seats
before the "stand were tilled and
the space around them for sev
eral yards was packed with peo
ple standing. That the latter re
mained until the exercises closed
bore eloquent testimony to the
fact that the speeches were of an
interesting order.
The program was opened by
the introduction to the. audience
of Chiaf Bemidji, who was on the
stand, and after whom the town
is named. Th Pa rk Rapids
band, a very creditable organiza
tion, by the way, rendered an ex
cellent selection. This was fol
lowed by Mayor Ludington, who,
in anew well selected words, in
troduced H. Bailey, selected
by/rnrn to give the address of
welcome. Judging by the ap
plause accorded the speaker
when he stepped to the front,
and that given during and after
his speech, the people not only
entirely approved, but were well
pleased with the selection. Mr
Bailey delivered a stirring and
eloquent address. He compared
the Revolutionary and Civil wars
and spoke of the causes leading
up to the latter, going back to
the inception of slavery in Amer
ica and following it up in graphic
and lucid terms to the liberating
of the slaves by the war. He
mentioned the heroes of the war,
paid a handsome tribute to John
Brown and did not forget to
speak of the trials of the Amer
ican women during that terrible
when their sons, husbands
and brothers were at the front,
and of the fortitude and bravery
with which they stood up under
the strain.
A response on behalf of the G.
A. R. was made by Gen. Eli Tor
rence of Minneapolis, a man of
good address and pleasing ap
pearance, and past commander
in-chief of the national G. A. R.
organization. He put his audi
ence in good humor at once by a
few humorous and compliment
ary remarks directed at the town
and its people, and particularly
at the audience before him. Th
general thanked Bemidji for the
cordial reception extended to the
old veterans. His address con
tained nothing dry and was of a
different order than the usual
run of such addresses. He
graphically described the two
battles of Bull Ru and gave
vivid word pictures of incidents
of battlo which seldom rind room
in our histories, but which are of
absorbing interest nevertheless.
He took occasion during his
speech to pay a glowing tribute
to American womanhood and
spoke forcibly of their bravery
in sending their husbands and
sons forth to battle for the Union.
He said that the strength of the
nation lies not its navies and
armies but in its homes, and
therefore depends more on the
women than anything else.
Mrs. S. Tarkweather of the
W. R. C. responded to the ad
dre ss of welcome on behalf of
that bod y. She told several sto
ries in tr ue Abe Lincoln style to
