The members of the Sons of Herman lodge of Bemidji enjoyed Sunday in a most pleasant manner, at the home of Nick Deitrich, when the occasion was made a getting- together of many of the members of the lodge for an “experience meet- ing,” prior to the opening of the new year. There were no ladies present, and the gentlemen regaled themselves with good things to eat and drink and had a general good time. During the afternoon the noted Sons of Herman choir “got busy,” with the result that encores were responded to with a frequency that kept the air surcharged with melodi- ous voices that were harmoniously blended and of great strength. The choir was composed of the following well known singers of local repute: John Schmidt, leader; Nick Deitrich, Matt Mayer, Matt Thome, Joseph Weber, Ed. Letke, Frank Silversack, John Ripple and Vincient Schneitzer. “Die Wacht am Rhine” was the favorite selection, which was rendered many times, because of vehement requests for more, even from the singers. John Ripple and Matt Mayer acted as cooks and prepared a din- ner that was partaken of very liber- ally with accompanying words of praise from those at the table. This gathering waa one of the kind wherein only genuine German hosts can extend the “glad hand” and the “boys” all had a good time. All New People at Brinkman.

We Know How ESTRADA'S ARMY ON TO MANAGUA Capture of Nicaraguan Cap- ital Seems Inevitable. FIERCE BATTLE AT RECERD Remnant of Zelaya’s Forces Not Killed or Captured at Rama Raises White Flag Following the Latest Engage- ment—Heroism of American Sol- diers of Fortune Largely Responsi- ble for Revolutionist Victory. Bluefields, Nicaragua, Dec. 2s— ith the last vestige of former Pres- dent Zelaya's army either killed or captured nothing stands in the way of General Hstrada's march against Managua. General Diaz has already begun the Managuan advance and un- less President Madriz sues for peace the capture of the capital by the rev- olutionists seems inevitable. The capitulation of Zelaya’s army came in a flerce battle between the revolutionists and government troops at Recero. The government troops, which had fled from Rama after the fighting of Monday and Tuesday, made their last stand at Recero. They were soon overwhelmed. After a two hours’ engagement, in which scores of gov- ernment troops recklessly threw away their lives, the Zelayan forces raised the white flag. ‘When the full story of the Rama and - Recero battles was written it was found-that American soldiers of fortune played a leading part and were as responsible as any other egency for the sweeping revolutionary victory. The heroism displayed by John Brainsford, a Nerth Dakotan, is but a sample of the courage shown by a score of other Americans who inspired the revolutionists to such a vietory as is rarely seen in Central American soldiers. Brainsford, thrice wounded in Monday’s fight at Rama, crawled into Estrada’s camp three days later with his hand bandaged with an American flag. He had been left for dead on the field and was one of the two Americans reported killed in this engagement. Cared for by Americans. Brainsford was sent on to Blue- flelds and is now being cared for by the surgeons of the American war- ships. Generals Gonzales, Castillo and Roberto were captured and are now in Bluefields. They all admit that Zelaya’s cause has been crushed. The condition of 1,800 prisoners captured shows that the government troops fought against tremendous odds. They are so weak and emaci- ated that many who are uninjured are dying from disease and exhaustlon. For the last two weeks the only rations of the soldiers were bananas and corn and these were dealt out sparingly. Nearly half of the men were without shoes and their feet were terribly cut in marches and flights over the stony roads. United States Consul Moffat was so moved by the plight of the men that he immediately cabled his government an account of the sufferings and needs of the men. There is not enough food in Bluefields for the men, as all avaflable stores are being used to supply the revolutionists, while, as for clothing, the need can only immedi- ately be supplied by contributions from other countries. Aid Rushed to Suffering Troops. Washington, Dec. w»—To relieve the starvation of the captured soldiers of the Zelayan army at Rama and fur- nish much needed aid to soldiers of both the Nicaraguan government forces and the insurgents who were injured in the battle near Rama the United States government has or- dered the cruiser Prairie, now-at Co- lon, to take on board $5,000 worth of staple supplies obtained by funds of the American Red Cross society. The cruiser will proceed with all possible haste to Bluefields. Zelaya Prepares to Flee. Managua, Dec. 2..—A special guard of soldiers was called to the mansion of former President Zelaya to act as an escort for Zelaya in his intended departure for Corinto, where the Mex- jcan gunboat General Guerrero awaits his orders. It is believed Zelaya in- tends to go first to Mexico and thence to Brussels, there to remain until Nicaragua emerges from her present chaos. EVERTON GIVEN FREEDOM Hypnotist Whose Subject Died Ex- onerated by Grand Jury. Somerville, N. J,, Dec. 2 -—“Profes- sor” Arthur Everton, a hypnotist who came into unpleasant notoriety on Nov. 8 through the death of Robert Simpson, one of his subjects on the stage of the Somerville theater after he had been placed in a cataleptic state, will not be tried for manslaugh- ter.

Cheyenne, Wyo., Dec. 27.—Alfred Gwynn Vanderbilt is in Cheyenne and will remain in the West for some time, ostensibly to look over his Western in- terests but in reality to escape further notoriety regarding the recent divorce suit brought and successfully prosecut- ed by his wife, formerly Miss Elsie French. This much was learned from ettendants of his party. Vanderbilt arrived in his private ear, the Wayfarer, and gave strict in- structions that he would not be “in” to anybody, most of all to reporters. One reporter managed to break through the cordon of valets, cooks and vassals thrown about the car, much to Vanderbilt’s chagrin. Van- derbilt bluntly announced that he had nothing to say, not even on matters of a general nature, “TRIAL” DIVORCE A FAILURE Pastor's Wife, Tiring of Agreement, Seeks Real Article.

The Puffers were mar- ried over twenty years ago. FEAR FOR HEALTH OF MARK TWAIN Death of Daughter May Seri- ously Affect Humorist, Redding, Conn., Dec. 27.—It was the most sorrowful Christmas day Samuel L. Clemens (Mark Twain) has ever spent and his friends gathered at the home expressing grave fears for his health.

CLEMENS. was stunned with grief and it was several hours before he could say any- thing. Now he remains in his own room, nerving himself for the journey to their old home at Elmira, where the body will be taken. Dr. Smith, the Clemens family phy- sician, has been at the homestead ever since Miss Jean was found dead.
