"Mme. Na.imova"

Madame Nazimova in "A Dolls House. by Ibsen, fascinated a cultured audience at tho Shubert last night by her domi- nant personality. magnificent acting. and the entire abandon with which she en- tered into the part of Mora Helmar."
 There Is, perhaps, no other part among the many that Madame NaEimova has taken that gives her such opportunity to show her versatility as an emotional actress and comedienne. One moment the part demands the last ounce of energy and the next moment is relieved with a laugh. Madame Naximova had no diffi- culty in mastering the subtleties of the part and endeared herself anew to Bir- mingham people by her characterization of the care-free wife and as the woman just waking to the possibilities of life.
 In the climax of the play Madame Nazi- mova was superb. There was not word that did not ring true and the effect on the audience was electric. They were enthralled by the supreme personality of the little woman on the stage.
 Madame Nazimova has surrounded her.

PEMBINA LOSES
Two PIONEERS

Grand Forks Times: Pembina
county lost two of it's pioneer settlers
during the week, Patrick F. Jennings
and George Holm, both being claimed
by the grim reaper. Mr.. Jennings,
who died on Sunday, was born in Ire
land in 1851, emigrated to New York
with his parents in 1866, went from
there to Cleveland. then to Columbus,
O., and came to North Dakota in 1879.
He settled at Pembina and lived there
until 1890, when he moved to Cavalier,
where he established the Jennings
House and where he has been en-
gagged in the hotel business ever since
He made host of friends in this Sec
ton of the state, not only with the
residents, but the travelling public.
Two sons and three daughters remain
to mourn his death.
George Holm, one of the pioneer
settlers Of St. Joseph township and
one of the earliest settlers of Pembina
county, dropped dead while at work
in the fields. The deceased was born
in Waterloo, Ontario, in 1856, and
came to North Dakota in 1879. locat-
ing on a claim in Pembina county.

IN CANADA
THREE WEEKS OF CAMPAIGN YET
BEFORE THE PEOPLE AND
FATE UNCERTAIN
Premier Sir WiIfred Laurier is maxi
ing Strong Campaign in Favor Of
the Measure Which is Meeting op-
position.

TORONTO, Ont, Aug 28-With the
election which will decide the fate of
the reciprocity agreement still more
than three weeks off, the fight in this
great industrial and agricultural pro-
vince of Canada has reached a point
where practically everything else has
been neglected in the heat of the polit-
ical battle.
r. L. Borden, leader of the opposi-
-tion, has completed his Ontario tour,
having delivered more than thirty
speeches in constituencies considered
doubtful, and will devote the balance
of his time to Quebec and the mari
time provinces. where his own seat
at Halifax is thought to be in danger.
Premier Laurier will return to On
tario next week to speak in several
rural constituencies. 1t is the farm
ers' vote that is considered likely to
decide the fate of reciprocity. Every
voter in the farming community is
considered important. whereas, in the
city nobody seems to care whether
the voter exercises his franchise.
This is explained by the fact that ev.
cry city in Canada, except Kingston,
and Ottawa (the seat of government
and the home of thousan of civil
employees) gives ;an overwhelming
tory majority.
An unusual feature of the cam
paign is that Clifford Sifton, formerly
minister of the interior in the Lauri.
er government, has come out against
reciprocity. Mr.. Sifton is life long
liberal and was the liberal member
for Brandon in the house of commons
just dissolved, but has taken the stump
against the issue favored by his
party.
In some of the farming communities
the failure of the Farmers bank,
which cost the farmers of several
counties hundreds of thousands of
dollars is being discussed by the oppo
.sition and may lose the government
votes. ''-'

grand jury ended it's work Saturday
reported batch of indictments to
Judge Hughes and was discharged by
the court.
Three indictments were returned
for murder in the first degree. Among
those indicted are the seven Austrians
living near Gilbert who are alleged tt
have killed Billy Brown, half-breed

August 8, the latest St. Louis county
murder that occupied public attention
The seven are held here in Jail and
the true bill against them charges
first degree murder. The accused will
be arraigned here before Judge
Hughes next Monday.
1t is understood that the evidence
adduced before the grand jury, went
to show that Grown and Fisher, the
mail carrier, borrowed some whisky
from the Austrians, who were putting
up hay near Crooked Lake, then want
ing more, and being denied it, stole
the jug. They were pursued but Fish
er hid but Brown was beaten to death
by blunt instrument. The confes-
sion that Fisher made to Chief of
Police Walsh and Deputy Sheriff King
aided materially in bringing the &C.
cused before the bar for the crime
None of the accused can talk English.
The second indictment for hrst de-
gree murder is against Bruno Denasi
who is alleged to have killed Joe Bal
lament at Biwabik, July %, during
a quarrel over a loan.

ment is against Carmine Sacco, Santo
Tenameno and Anton Bertulini, who
are alleged to have killed Caeseri Ben

HEAVY FR0S7S
IN CANADA
REPORTS STATE IS THE WORST
FROST SUFFERED FOR
MANY YEARS.
Harvesting Has Been Backward and
1t 10 Asserted That a Large Percen-
taqe Of the Crop Has Suffered.

WINNIPEG, Aug. 2S.-Severe frost
has damaged standing crops in north
ern Manitoba, around Regina and in
northern Saskatchewan. Men who ar
rived here today from the north and
west say that it is the worst the prai-
ries have suffered for many years.
There was ice in shallow vessels
standing outside last night.
One farmer said he had only five
acres cut and the remainder of his
crop got it badly. This was only the
second time in 20 years, he said, that
he had been touched by frost. Cutting
was so backward that large percent
age of grain is believed to have suf-
fered, more especially as it has been
wet. In Winnipeg it did not affect
plants but struck vegetables badly.
The main streets of the chief mar
ket centers west of this place were
lined with rigs from the country. The
farmers are talking of nothing but
frost. They say they do not remem-
Der so severe frost in August in any
past year. Cucumber vines. melons
and potatoes were cut down and it is
impossible to say what has been the
damage to wheat. There was ice in
water troughs and most of the farm
ers agree that it came near being
black frost. The sky was cloudy but
the wind changed to the southwest at
daybreak. 1t WIS not so cold then
as before sunrise, when the frost was
very severe Grass snapped when
driving over it. The damage undoubt-
edly is heavy.
Weather bulletins in later from gov
ernment stations showed that several
places had low temperature of 80
degrees. These figures are registered
in towns, and in the open country t
was colder. Private advices were re-
ceived here, one of watch showed that
a few miles out of Q'Appelle no less
than 8 degrees of frost was registered.
Frost was also reported from Gilbert
Plains and several other points. The
forecast for over Sunday was for rain
and frost, following norther]y winds,
and farmers are passing through a
most critical and anxious time.

CHESTERFIELD, va, Aug. zS-The
most vital broadside of testimony thus
far aimed against Harry Clay Beattie,
Jr., indicted for wife murder, was
planned by the state for today's ses'
sion of court here.
The story of the motive underlying
the propagating force which might
incite a man to the murder of his
wife. was carefully assembled by the
commonwealth for admission through
strong witnesses. Besides arranging
for the testimony concerning Beattie's 8
relations with Beulah Binford as in
dicative of his alleged desire to elm
mate his wife so that the companion
ship with the Einford girl might con-
tinue unobstructed. The common
wealth was prepared to pour into the
record the testimony of physicians
who would tell of Beattie's alleged
physical ills in an effort to show the
prisoner feared his wife might inform
his father of them and that the latter
might disown him.
CHESTERFIELD, Va, Aug. 2S-
Suddenly and without the faintest in
timation hitherto during the trial. the
prosecution today confronted Henry
Clay Beattie Jr., with Mrs. lR. v.
Owen, mother of the woman he is al
legged to have murdered. In a taxicab,
whose arrival was timed to coincide
exactly with the moment, Sheriff Gill
exhibited ins the court room clothing
worn by Beattie on the night of the
murder, Mrs. Owen came to Chester
field, quickly and without the usual
perfunctory lquestions, incident to the
introduction of new witness Prose-
cutor Wendenberg questioned the wo-
man as to her knowledge of the do
mestic nfef of the Eeatties, and
brought to the surface a point intend
ed as relevint to the alleged motive
for the murder, namely that Beattie's
physical cor litions due to dissipation
had caused much unhappiness to his
wife.
The witness said that on the night
of the murder she had cautioned Mrs.
Beattie not to go out alone with her
husband. The prosecutions idea for
today apparently was to prove that
Beattie killed his wife because of his
fear that his father might learn of his
conditions and cut him off from the
family The testimony of Mrs. Owen
took Judge Watson as we'll as the
crowded CO prt house by surprise, and
immediately the court suggested a re-
cess and a conference of counsel for
both sides Ito discuss further testi-
mony as oufined.
Mrs. OweA is said to have been her
daughters confident and is believed
to have known Of Beattie's relations
with the Binford girl. Mrs. Owens
told how she arrived at the Beattie
home on May q, of the birth of the
Beattie, child on May 81 and hinted
at tribulations of her daughter caused
by Beattie's relations with the Binford
girl.
Mrs. Owen sat calmly in the chair
while her husband famed her. Gown
ed in heavy black thick veil. gave
only partial glimpse of the woman's
features.
When the court recessed she was
still in the witness chair.
