Star
REMFREY TRIO MAKE HIT

Commencing at $3.50 last evening
the home talent production given by
10 talented, amateur Bemidji people
in the city Hall was hit from the
time the curtain rolled slowly up un-
til the lag: scene, where the hero of
the play RECEIVERS mis- own and the
villain was hanged to the nearest
drop. The play depicted mining
town in California where AL Newman
as Joseph Saunders and Merrill
Flesher as Ned Singleton are engeged
in mining as parteners. Richard Fen
ton as Major Henry Clay Brit proved
the comic hero of the play and his
actions and speeches were awarded
with out bursts of laughter and ap-
plause.
Every member of the cast proved
talented star and from the remarks
by those attending, the play appear
led to have given satisfaction to the
large crowd which packed the hall.
The leading ladies role was carried
by Mrs. Alden Remfrey who dis
played rare skill in handling a diff
ficult part. Among the other men,
bers of the cast who deserve credit
for their work are Alden Remfrey,
who carried the Williams role, Rube
Ripple as Mr.. Brandon, father OF
Mary and Grace Brandon, Olive MI
Ter, as Miss Posie Te:4t!and, as an
Gent maid, Curtis Remfrey as Tim
Bowler, Myrtle Newman as Grace
Brandon and Archie Fenton, as the
link" servant. AS chairman Mr..
Fenton could hardly be excelled. His
speech would not betray him and
many were inclined to believe that he
had taken lessons from local native.
The entire proceeds of the play
will be turned over to the Peterson
family who lost the greater portion
of their household goods together
with their home in a recent fire. The
Let proceeds according to Mr.. REM
frey amounted to about $4,000 there

Washington, Aug. 6.-John Lind,
former governor Of Minnesota, is on
his way to Mexico City as special
envoy of the United States to offer
his services as mediator in trying to
bring the warning factions in the
Southern republic together. Mr.. Lind
will, act as advisor to the American
embassy.
1t is hoped Mr.. Lind will succeed
In inducing Huerta and the rebel
forces to lay aside their differences
pending an election, the government,
thus established to be recognized by
the United States. 1t is reported that
in this event Mr.. Lind will be ap.
pointed ambassador to Mexico.
The formal statement given out by
Mr.. Bryan did not contain any infor-
nation as to Mr. Lind's instructions.
The statement is as follows:
Former Governor John Lind of
Minnesota has been sent to Mexico
as the personal representative Of the
president to act as advisor to the
embassy in the present situation,
When the president is ready to
communicate with the Mexican au-
thorities as to the restoration OF
peace he will make public his views"
Wilson's Policy Withheld. -
This announcement, which repre-
sents all that the administration il
willing to tell the country regarding
Its Mexican policy at this time, fol-
lowed closely on the heels of the &C.
ceptance of the resignation of Henry
Lane Wilson as ambassador to Mex
leo.
Mr.. Lind virtually takes the place
IL the Embassy at Mexico made va.
cant b. the dismissal of Ambassador
Wilson
Mr.. uilson has been held on wait
Ing orcers by the department of state
and Aug. IA will enter upon status
of leave of absence, which will con.
tinue until Oct IA, when his resigna-
ton will become effective.
The administration has forbidden
him to 60 to Mexico City to adjust
his personal affairs between now and
Oct. IA.
The reason for this is that it is
known that should Mr.. Wilson return
to Mexico City even as a private citi-
zen, there would result a demonstra-
tion lin his honor in which Americans,
Mexicans and foreigners would parti-
cipate.
Democratic leaders believe Presi-
dent Wilson made no mistake in Sc
lectlng Governor Lind for the impor-
tant mission to Mexico. The man
the president has selected as his
special representative in Mexico is a
Norwegian. He served in the house
Of representatives on the Republican
side at the same time Mr.. Bryan was
occupying a seat on the Democratic
side. In 1896 Lind went over to the
Bryan cause as "Silver Republican"
and has since been known as IAN
original Bryan man."
