Weeks of drill have finally made a co operating cast that is ready to work together in a finished production. Doors will be opened at the theatre at 7 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. The 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' outflttings from Schneider's store Carpenters in the high school manual training classes have made special scenery which will reproduce detail the scenes at Yale Univer sity Football college plajs 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. Walker, captain of the Yale track team, is down in his subjects and must cram in order to be eligible for the meet.

Robin banking enter prises and the New York political machine. Hyde is under an indict ment charging that he accepted a biibu and forced Joseph G. Robin, formerly head of the Northern bank, to aid Joseph B. Reichmann, presi dent o: the Carnegie Trust company, and William J. Cummins, executive chairman of the same bank, by mak ing fhem 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 supreme court and it is expected to have everything in readiness to begin the Hyde trial before Justice Goff the first of theof 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 cjmpany, 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 If Robin had refus ed, according to his story, he was threatened with having the city money then in his bank withdrawn.

Sofia reports say allies' peace terms are neither harsh nor uncom promising but Turkish grand vizier declares they are impossible, be cause they include surrender of Ad rianople, Scutari, Janina and Tcha taija lines. Reports of Turkish victories at Tchtatalja forts declared by corres pondents to be exaggerat?d, although it is admitted that the Bulgarians have drawn their lines iarther back. Lieutenant Wagener reports stories of incredible cruelties said to have been practiced by Servians on Al banian prisoners. Cholera rapidly making the posi tions of both armies at Tchatalja lines untenable. Ghastly stories of the terrible con ditions in Turkish cholera-infected camps near Constantinople are sent by Associated Press correspondents.

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 i.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 anR. intoxicated condition. The marshal was discharged. Had Suffered From D. T. St. Paul, Minn., Nov. 21.Deputy 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 tremens 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.
