VOLUME 10. NUMBER 140; MANY TAKE PART IN' VAUDEVILLE Home Talent Acts to Be Put on For Three Nights at the Brink- man Theatre. OPENING CHORUS ON MONDAY Dorothy Humes and Donna i"ym as Headliners in Duets “Oh, John” and “I'll Meet You.” THE HALLOWELLS ARE COMING Have Been Secured for Return En- gagement One Concert Only On October 21. For three nights next week, Be- midji will be treated to home talent vaudeville in the Brinkman theatre. Miss Dorothy Humes, of Cass Lake, has been in the city several weeks training the young people who are to take part in the various numbers and those who have seen the rehears- .als say that the Bemidji vaudeville will surpass anything ever seen on a local stage. Miss Humes has had some experi- ence as a director and in August had charge of a week of vaudeville in Cass Lake that drew a packed house - every night and netted the Commer- cial club a nice sum of money. About thirty Bemidji people saw the final’ Cass Lake performance and decided then that Bemidji had as much talent as any other Minensota city and could put on vaudeville also. The num- bers to be produced next week are the.result of the resolution and a large amount of work. The program for Monday evening was announced this morning and is as folows : Opening chorus—*“The Skeleton Rag.” Colonial act. Song and chorus—“Teasing Moon.” Dutch dance. Duets by Dorothy Humes and Donna Lycan. Chorus—*“Dear Old Moonlight.” The “Skeleton Rag” will be sung by the entire chorus. Ruth Wight- man will be featured in “Teasing Moon” and will be assisted by a chorus of Ivis Roberts, Servia Mc- Kusick, Gladys Vie, Grace Peterson and Arabelle Neal. Vera Cutter and Vera Dempsey will do the Dutch dance and will be assisted by Louis Brown, violinist. Dorothy Humes and Donna Lycan will sing “I'll Meet You at Half Past Two” and“ Oh, John.” These two duets made a hit at Cass Lake. The programs for Tuesday and Wednesday evenings have not yet been arranged but some of the num- bers will be a Yiddisher skit by Ralph Lycan and William Chichest- er; “Rum Tum Tiddle” by a mixed chorus composed of Nanga Tagley, Arvilla Kenfield, Izetta Fisher, Clara Nangle, Wilbur Lyecan, By Russell, Delbert Elletson, and Maurice Ryan; “Oh You Circus Day” by Dorothy Humes, Fred Chamberlain and entire chorus; and a chorus song “On Moon- light Bay. The Hallowells Are Coming. The vaudeville is being put on for the Episcopal church building fund. The church has also arranged to bring the Hallowell Concert com- pany to Bemidji for a return engage- ment on October 21. This company was here for two concerts in the spring and gave such satisfaction to music lovers that they were urged to return. During the spring engagement, the company played two concerts each evening and an admission of twenty- five cents was charged to each. When here for the Episcopal church the .company will play but one concert .and the charge will be fifty cents for :adults and _twenty-five cents for .children. The guarantee to the com- pany is so high that 300 tickets must be sold before the church will break even. With the concert company will be J. Lester Haberkorn, the soloist who pleaged so many in the spring by his interpretation of his songs. Mr. Haberkorn is said to have the most pleasing make voice that has been heard in Bemidji for some time. The company is composed of nine musi- cians and plays such’ classical num- bers as the “Raymond”, “William Tell” and “Poet and Peasant” over- tures, together with solos by mem- bers of the company with accompani- “HONEST JOHN” KELLY. _HORESE 101 RELOY _ Gotham Gambler Says He Quits Because of Rosenthal Murder.

The men and the medical officers are instructed in the use of it, and regular inspections qf the stock, as well as lectures on the nat wural history of the polsonous kinde of serpents, are provided for. In ad ditlon to the serum, the various ap pliances necessary for its proper ap plication have been supplied to the army hospitals, Hitherto much de pendence has been placed on the treatment of such injuries by alcohol and the application of permanganats of potash. Owes Life to His Horse. Frank Tracy, of Wallingford, Conn., claims that his life was saved by his horse Starlight. He went to Oak dale tavern, three miles away, with load of baggage and was 80 badly chilled on the return that he fell in an unconsclous condition into his wagon. His horse, turning corners with unerring accuracy, brought Tracy to his place of business, where aild was promptly afforded. After working over him for two hours the doctors pronounced him out of dan- ger. Tracy says the horse will never have to haul another load. The horse had the home instinct so many ani mals have, and this led to the relief of hie master.—The Christian Herald Preserve Old Eim Tree.

New York, Oct. 9.—The New York Giants, winners of the National league pennant, were humbled by the Boston Red Sox in the first game of the world’s series here Tuesday af- ternoon by a score of 4 to 3. Tesreau, New York’s premier twirler, pitched superb ball for five innings. The Sox got to him for a hit and run in the sixth and four hits in the seventh, resulting in three runs, and cinched the game for Bos- ton and marked the retirement -of Tesreau. . The crowded stands had several thrills in New York’s half of the ninth when Merkle scored on Meyers’ single, leaving men on second and third and only one out. Fletcher, the next man up fanned, as did Crandall, ending the game. Young Joe Wood, making his in- itial world’s series bow the same as Tesreau, supplemented his arm with his head to better advantage by us- ing better judgment and saving some- thing for the last, the smaller man managed to go the distance. Even in his case, however, the same strain which worked the undoing of Tes- reau got in its work in the final ses- sion and with one man down the Bostonians faltered and for.a moment it looked as though he would go the way of his competitor. Three singles in a row, torn off by Merkle, Herzog and Meyers, gave the Giants a run and put them with- [~ in a single tally of.tying the score. At this stage, however, Wood tighten- ed up and by splendid headwork fanned the next two men and pulled himself from a hole that looked deep and dark. Doc Crandall,~ who relieved Tes- reau in the eighth, held Boston to a single hit in his two working innings but overlooked a chance to secure a niche in the baseball hall of fame Folks Are Admire; when with two men on bases, one on third and a hit needed to tie the score, he made three vain slashes and encauntered nothing but ozone. It was a clear-cut fight and the best pitcher won. There was little to choose between the suport given either twirler. Some 40,000 persons surged into the Brush stadium to witness the -| first struggle of the series. Mayor Gaynor of New York and Mayor Fitzgerald of Boston, sat to- gether in an upper tier box. A day of sunshine and Indian sum- mer warmth was the pleasant por- tion of players and spectators.

The Market Letter. Chicago, Oct. 7.—Receipts of pota- toes have been very heavy at Chicago the past week and are heavy today, but as the price has declined to 43¢ we believe receipts will slack up as farmers are getitng 20c in Wisconsin and will not haul for this money. There is a good call in Chicago for some early Ohios. They would bring about 40c today. Something real fancy would bring more. The Kansas City market will go considerably lower in sympathy with Chicago and we believe we could handle Ohios at Chicago to better ad- vantage than at Kansas City. We see no reason why. the price should advance for some time to come and would advise shippers to bill yesterday . afternoon said he would refomemnd to the government that |1t butld a harbor on Red Lake and that action be taken in the matter| at once. Mr. Steenerson had just returned from a trip hrough he res- ervation made.by wagon and said that he believed a harbor was needed. At the present time, deep draft boats cannot get into shore any where and have to be loaded and unloaded with lighters. It is proposed to build a deep harbor at Redby so that freight can_be taken up on the Red Lake road, transfered to boats in the harbor and so taken ‘across the lake. Settlers to the north and west of the lakes have been buying in Thief River Falls and say that they have a fifty mile haul for their goods. It is proposed to build a landing stage at the mouth of the Tamarack river and goods bought in Bemidji or further south will be taken up-on the rail- road to Redby, across the lakes by boat to the Tamarack landing and then inland to thé setlements. The haul by wagon will be cut down from fifty to ten and-twenty miles. As soon as Redby harbor is com- plcted, it is probable that other land- iag stages will be built so that set- tlers to the northeast can get their g00ds he same way instead of hauling overland from Kelliher as at present. their cars to Chicago rather than to Kansas City. Yours very. truly, ‘Wilber and Inness The above market letter was re- ceived this morning by a Bemidji potato shipper and indicates that market for potatoes is growing weak- er. The Fitzsimmons-Baldwin Co. paid 26¢ last week for potatoes but today are offering. 22¢ for unsacked and 25c¢ for sacked. W. G. Schroeder is allowing 30c for potatoes turned in on acocunts but will not pay over 22c¢_cash for unsacked potatoes. The Chicago Record-Herald yesterday - quoted potatoes at 40c and a declin- ing market. The Herald quotation ‘would indicate a drop of three cents from the price quoted the day before by Wilber and Inness. Bemidji potato shippers do mnot agree with the statement made by W. R. Mackenzie last week that the price of potatoes will go high again this winter. They point to the fact that the market is steadily falling and that it will not get strong again until the present supply in the pro- duce centers becomes low. Late quotations from Chicago and Kansas A smaller harbor and landing will be built at the school and administra- tion points on Red Lake. A tele- phone line is now being buiit around the lake. Mr. Steenerson also had meetings with representative In- dians. They wish to have more of the timber sold and the shores of the! two lakes divided into ten acre al- lotments. Some action will probably be taken by the next congress. several MECHANICIAN DEAD. Milwaukee, Wis.,, Oct. 9.—Tony Scudelari, mechanician for Bruce- Brown, who was killed last week while trying out the Vanderbilt cup race course in this city, died early Tuesday from injuries received when their car went into a ditch: |1ess than 33,000 City dealers indicate that local ship- pers can pay little more than 20c and be able to ship with any profit. The freight from Bemidji to Chicago on a car of potatoes amounts to from fifteen to eighteen cents a bushel. Local shippers say that the total production for this year has been es- timated by the government as 280,- 000,000 bushels which figures are the samg as those in 1910. Last year the crop was estimated at 180,000,- 000 bushels. Shippers say that al- lowing for a waste of 30.000,000 bushels due to rot, frost, etc., there will still be left about thirty-five per cent more potatoes than in 1911. that many farmers are puting their potatoes in the root cellars to hold for a higher price. Shippers say that them too long, as the bottom will be knocked out of the market if all un- ioad at once. Many farmers held potatoes last year for $1.50 a bushel and sinally had to dump them when they could have sold for from eighty {2 ninety cents a bushel many times.
