Janes of the attor- ney general’s office looks good, on short acquaintance, to Bemidji. In the first place he impresses the public as being not only a keen, clean cut, well trained young attorney, but one who is not afraid to do his duty. As chief prosecutor in the proceed- ings against Dr. Dumas he occupies a delicate position of great responsi- bility. If he were to adopt unfair tactics to secure an acquittal he would be just as much at fault as he would be were he to fail in using his utmost energy and ability to pun- ish a guilty person. He has said, and said it so all could understand, that the accusa- tions against the Cass Lake mayor are of such consequence that their authenticity should be either estab- lished or disproven, and that every consideration should be shown the doctor, under the principle that all men are innocent until proven guil- ty. So much for Mr. Janes. There is another angle, and it was emphasized by Mr. Janes in his inter- | son, George Arliss will open his season| view in yesterday’s Pioneer, and that is, the duty the North owes justice in this case. Mr. Janes calls upon the people to forget factionalism, if any exists, and to unite in one great effort to make the bar to which Dr. Dumas is to be led a real bar of justice, and not one where political machinations may further the plans of scheming poli- ticians. Never was better advise given and never was a more apparent truth spoken than that the eyes of the com- monwealth are centered on Bemidji in this affair and that if the North i to rid herself of certain black spots, she must see to it that a square deal is the program all the way through. It must not be surmised that by this that an indictment must be re- turned and a conviction secured in the case against Dr. Dumas. Such a @@@@@@@®®‘®®©@®©©@©©®@©©®®4}©©®0 conclusion‘ould be wrong. All we plead for is that he be given justice; that a jury of fair-mjinded, honest cit- izens be drawn; that the evidence be presented so that an intelligent ver- dlet may be returned and that the verdict be in full accord with the facts. MEAT PRICES AND JACK-SCREWS. From New York comes the word that meat prices have gone up and are still continuing their upward movement as if they intended to es- tablish an altitude record. The poor cosnumers of New York, with the emphasis on the “poor” will have the choice between bankrupting them- selves to buy meat and pulling their belts tighter after having stricken meat from their bill of fare. It ig alleged that the higher prices of corn “compelled” the meat trust to raise the price of meat, as if the meat trust ever bothered about so trivial a thing as a sufficient reason for its doings. Whatever the primary cause may be or may have been, the fact remains that the trust has given the jack- serew forcing up the prices another turn and the retailers, not to be out- done, gave the same screw not one but two or three turns. If the pack- ers raise the price one cent a pound, the retailers promptly charge to the customers from two to five “cents more per pound. Many people are of the opinion that it is about time to reopen the cold-storage tion. investiga- COPPOORIROVPOOOP® @ Season’s Plans for Star Players, © COOPPPPPPPOOPOO® The theatrical season of 1911-12 is about to open and the big producing managers of New York, the star players, their supports and all the rest of the thousands connected with the task of preparing things for the opening of the theatrical season are as busy as bees in a clover field. The last weeks preceding the season’s op- ening are indeed full of the most strenuous activity for all concerned and the general public has but a faint idea of the gigantic task of planning and preparing the season’s work in the theatrical profession. The producing managers have been extremely active during the summer months and, after a careful survey of the available new plays produced since the beginning of last season, have made their selection of such plays as, in their opinion, would best fit the peculiar tastes and talents of their star players, masculine as well as feminine. A big crop of new plays has been gathered .and - practically every one of the prominent stars will be provided with some new medium, in addition to plays already known, in which the stars have won suc- cesses in former seasons. John Drew will open his season at the Empire Theater, New York, on Labor Day, with “The Single Man,” and if the play makes a hit, will probably continue in it for the rest of the season. Ethel Barrymore will follow John Drew at the Empire Theater, playing “The Witness for the Defense.” Her leading man will be A. K. Anson. Mrs. Fiske has prepared two new plays for the coming season and will open toward the end of September with “The New Marriage,”. a comedy by Langdon Mitchell. Alla Nazimova, who is now under Charles Frohman’s management, will appear in a new play adapted from the French, the name of which has not yet been given. James K. Hackett will have two new plays during the coming season, one by the author of “The World and His Wife,” the other by James Fagan. Robert Edeson will begin his sea- son in Providence about the middle of the month, in “The Cave Man,” a comedy by Gillette Burgess. Grace Elliston will be his leading woman. Margaret Illington has a new play, called “Kindling,” from the pen of Charles Kenyon. She will tour the West during the first part of the-sea- son, Helen Ware will begin her season in Boston in “The Price” and will not reach New York until later in the season. Elsie Ferguson will not begin her season until some time in October, when she will appear in “Dolly Madi- ,” a play by Charles Nirdlinger. at Wallack’s Theater, New York, in Louis N. Parker’s new play, “Dis~ raeli,” founded upon episodes in the life of the great statesman. - Margaret Anglin will present two new plays this coming season.. She will open the season in “Green Stock- ings,” and later will try Israel Zang- will’s play, “The New Religion.” Frank McIntyre will begin his star season in “Snobs,” a comedy by Geo. Bronson Howard and will have the support of a strong company. “The Arab,” a play of the Orient by Edgar Selwyn has been selected as the medium for the author of the play, who will play the title role. Some time next month E. J. Dod- son will open his season in “Gaunt- let’s Pride,” a new comedy by Hart- ley Manners and later he will take the play on a tour. ° Elsie Janis has decided to continue in “The Slim Princess” during the early ‘part of the season, with the prospect of appearing in a new play later on. Ja Helen Lowell ‘will star during the coming season in “Next,” a new farce by Rida Johnson Young and expects to open her season early in Septem- ber. Cyril- Scott will appear in a new play entitled “A Modern Marriage,” which has been adapted from ' the German by Harrison Rhodes. George M. Cohan has been per- suaded to return to the stage, and, supported by his parents will appear in his own play, “The Little Mil- lionaire.” Henrietta Crossman will start her season in Catherine Chisholm Cush- ing’s new comedy, “The Real Thing,” but may make a change later. Fritzi Scheff is to appear in “The Duchess,” by Joseph Herbert and Harry B. Smith, with music by Vie- tor Herbert. Flute Playing for Consumptives. It is cheering to know that one in- strument at 1 dst can be counted on to bring health and longivity to those who practice it. This is the flute. Doctors recommend it for incipient consumptives—as the operation of] playing the instrument involyes the precise motion of the lungs of most benefit to the consumptives; that is, full inspiration, not too full or strain- ed; followed by slow and gentle de- livery of the breath.—Sunday Maga- zine, - NOBODY SPARED Kidney Troubles Attack Bemidji Men and Women, 0ld and Young Kidney ills seize youg and old Come quickly with little warning.

CHIEF SUFFERER IN THE DUEL Two Journalists Went to Consider- able Expense to Make Show. The cost of duels is dwelt upon by Aurelien Scholl in his “Reminis- cences.” He tells of the elaborate pre parations made for a hostile en- counter between two journalists ‘whom he knew. One of them borrow- ed $100 from Scholl to meet his share of the expenses. This sum was never returned. “After ten minutes per- functory fencing,” he addes, “the principals embraced each other, and both left the ground without a scratch.
