Doors will be opened at the theatre at 7 p. m. this evening and the show will start promptly at 7:30. There are four acts and it is estimated that it will take about two hours and a half to produce the play. In order that the waits between acts will not be considered long, Mr. Brinkman has arranged to throw several mov- ing pictures on the screen. Tha play calls for special costumes and for the most part they have been furnished by Bemidji business houses. -he suits for the girls have been loaned by tne Berman Emporium, the hats have come from the Hen-| rionnet millinery parlors, and the boys’ outfittings from Schneider’s store. Carpenters in the high school manual training classes have made special scenery which will reproduce in detail the scenes at Yale Univer- sity. Football college plays were the first to appear, then baseball was dramatized but the play tonight deals with the track team of Yale in the annual Yale-Harvard meet, Track work occupies a more promin- ent place in the campus life of East- ern colleges than Western but the interest is .gradually moving west and the scenes tonight will give an accurate portrayal of the excitement at Yale when the big meet is “pull- ed off” in May.

The day of the meet finally comes but much to the sorrow of the men of Old Eli when it is found that Carson, the man on whom the meet depends, was intoxicated the night before and it is feared that he has gone stale. To add to the misery of the occasion, Captain Walker sprains his ankle by stepping into a starting hole and is unable to run his race. He calls for a volunteer and Carson—but it is bad policy to tell al! that one knows. There is the usual love plot running through the story.

A great deal of rivalry has sprung up between the two literary societies and both socie- ties are trying to outclass the other in the quality of the programs. The last program given by the Senior-; Sophomore society was the best of the year. The juniors and freshmen are determined to put on a better pro- gram next Wednesday than has yet been produced by either society. The feature of the coming program is a farce by members of the society. The program will be as follows: 1—Piano solo ...... Edna Anderson 2—Song—“Water Lilies” ........

HYDE TRIAL STARTS New York, Nov. 22.—After a de- Jay of many months, Charles Hiram Hyde, former city chamberlain, is to he called to the bar to answer for the part he is alleged-to have played in the great scandal involving the heads of the Carnegie Trust company, the Joseph G. Robin banking enter- prises and the New York political machine. .Hyde is under an indict- m=nt charging that he accepted a bribe and forced Joseph G. Robin, formeriy head of the Northern bank, to aid Joseph B. Reichmann, presi- dent of the Carnegie Trust company, and William J. Cummins, executive chairman of the same bank, by mak- ing them a loan of $100,000 when Robin had stated that to do so meant ruin to his bank. The work of se- lecting a jury has commenced in the criminal branch of the sapreme court and it is expected to have everything in readiness to begin the Hyde trial before Justice Goff the first of the week. The former city chamberlain was indicted chiefly on the tesimony of Robin. According to Robin, Hyde told him that if he would come through with a loan to the then tot- tering Carnegie Trust company, he, Hyde, would see that the municiapl deposits were increased in Robin’s Northern bank. If Robin had refus- ed, according to his story, he was threatened with having the ecity money then in his bank withdrawn. The bank was in no condition to stand such withdrawals, and he had to accede to Hyde’s demands, Robin avers.

The Ottoman government has re- jected terms offered by allies and Na- zim Pasha has been ordered to con- tinue fighting. Sofia reports say allies’ peace terms are Neither harsh nor uncom- promising but Turkish grand vizier declares they are impossible, be- cause they include surrcader of Ad- rianople, Scutari, Janina and Tcha- taija lines. Réports of Turkish victories at Tchtatalja forts declared by corres- pondents to be exaggeratad, although it is admitted that the Bulgarians have drawn their lines farther back.

Congress- man Steenerson and “Chief” Dick- ens came down from Red Lake this morning and reported that more In- dians attended the council than any other council ever held in the his- tory of the reservation. The meeting of the Indians was called at the request of Congressman Steenerson to talk over the matter of the handling of the Indian timber, drainage of the lands al the outlet of the Red Lakes, payments, etc. Mr. Dickens said that although there was some friction manifested at tne start of the meeting it had dissppeared be- fore the session was over and harm- ony prevailed. A regular annuity payment of $75 is being distributed to the Indians this week. This is the first payment in about one year and as the last one was a small one the Indians are busy settling up old accounts. The pay- ments of $75 per capita are general to every Chippewa Indian in Minne- sota, the money being drawn as in- terest on the Chippewa general fund. About $110,000 was distributed at the agency this week. Owing to the late hour at which the council adjourned, Congressman Steenerson was unable to reach Be- DIED OF ALCOHOLISM GOPHER POTATOES Ed Collins Said to Have Suffered from Delirium Tremers While on Way to Leavenworth, GIVEN LIQUOR BY DEPUTY Leavenworth, Kan., Nov. 22.—For the second time in the history of United States penitentiary here, a prisoner died in the institution of acute alcoholism. In his report of the death, Dr. A. F, Yohe, prison phy- sician, made his report accordingly. The prisoner was Ed Collins, brought from St. Paul, November 16, to serve a sentence of one year and one day for selling liquor to Red Lake In- dians at Island Lake, Minnesota. Upon his arrival at the prison, Collins’ condition was such that he was taken immediately to the hos- pital. When the condition of the prisoner was called to the attention of the officer who accompanied him, the latter is said to have admitted that he gave the prisoner liquor to brace him up. The name of the offi- cer could not be learned. He ..as re- turned to St. Paul. An inspector is making an inves- tigation of the affair. Two years ago a gang of six pris- oners arrived from Oklahoma in an intoxicated condition. The marshal was discharged. United States Marshal Frank Tufts was the officer who accompanied Ed. Collins to Leavenworth. United States Marshal Grimshaw says that Collins had been suffering from delirium {remens and it had been decided by the officials that it would be necessary to give the pris- oner a moderate amount of liquor while en route to Leavenworth. Dep- uty Tufts had been instructed to that effect, he said, Collins was convicted in the fed- eral court at Fergus Falls of selling liquor to the Indians. SCHRANK IS INSANE By United Press.

It is said that after ad- vertising had been placed in Minne- apolis papers asking the voter to press key 42 if they wished to vote for Stanton, key 42 was assigned to Judge Brown. There is no way of learning how many votes were cast for Brown when intended for Stan- ton. Judge Stanton lost Hennepin county by 14,000 votes. Judge Stanton, when interviewed, stated that he would take no action in the matter as he believed he would not be elected even with the Henne- midji for the Elks’ social last night. pin vote thrown out. the meet.v While trying to grasp the SCOOP rirorrer AND 15 SENDING- DIRECTIONS FOR.

The murder was one of the most cold blooded in the statz and is vie- idly recalled by the pioneers of this section. Remington was raised around Casselton, betwezn here and Arthur, and in the fall of 1890 was employed on a farm near the latter place. He took a load c¢f wheat to Arthur and in those days the eleva- tor agents carried large sums of money, frequently paying in cash Remington saw Flett’s roll.
