They posted his name and informed
the adjutant generals office. This
office set the machinery of the draft
boards, the department of justice and
the state authorities in motion for
his apprehension. This combination
was too much for the undeveloped
abilities of the young man, and he
was taken in Gregory county. last
week.
Just what disposition will be made
is uncertain. 1t is purposed to bring
him back to Madison for identified
ton by the local board, condemn him
to immediate draft and courtmartial
him, but this lacks confirmation. Ii
is thought more probable that he will
be turned over to the department of
justice, and they will dispose of him
forthwith, according to their peculiar
methods with deserters and enemies
of the country.

BIDS FOR fame
ENADER OF DRAFT Is NOTED
FOR FORMER OPERATIONS
AND Is MUCH WANTED.

If the charges against him are sub
stantiated, Benny Remple. No. S6S
in the registered draft, which he
evaded when called, bids fair to gain
fame beyond that of ordinary mortals
and receive the attention and recog-
milton of high military and state au-
thorities. He was arrested last week
in Gregory county, on Information
furnished by the draft board of this
county, and is held pending action
of this board and military authori-
ties for evasion of the draft. He has
another record also which is inter
esting, VIM. Rowland tells us today.
On the 7th of last March, that day
being Tuesday, a man approached
the paying teller of the Dakota State
bank with a check for SIPS, made
out to himself, and signed John
Schmidt. He was asked for identifi-
cation, and named Miss Schmidt.
who worked for Z. L.. Biederstaedt,
as his sister. When they offered to
get the young over to identify
him he snatched the check and has
tily departed.
On the same evening he bought a
small bill of goods of the Guy K.
Hanson jewelry house, and took the
balance out in cash, this time signing
his own name, and representing to
Mr.. Hanson's brother, who was in
charge, that he was we'll acquainted
with Mr.. Hanson.
The next day he passed several
checks signed with his own name for
several small bills of goods, repre-
senting that he worked for John
Schmidt. On this day he visited
John A. Johnson, w. T. Stearns, c..
p. Anderson, A. H. Osborn and ID.
McKinnon with results satisfactory
to his methods. The sheriff by this
time was notified, and began the
search for his apprehension. His
name as signed might be taken for
any of several names, and it was only
Mr.. Schmidt who could and did make
it known.
John Schmidt, for whom he had
formerly worked, was sworn in as a
deputy, as the young mar was known
best by him. The search embraced
the whole city. The officers were at
times close enough to lay hands on
the smooth young swindler. Once at
the power plant. the sheriff entered
one door as the fellow left by a door
of the gas producer room. Another
time Deputy Schmidt met him in the
road and talked with him, and only
remembered later that it must have
been the man he was looking for, but
who wore a false moustache.
Then the scene of action shifted
to Wentworth, and during the fol-
lowing two weeks he passed several
worthless checks in and about that
town. The sheriff and various dep
uties secured the country. No avail.
They could not find him. And when
the check business Stacked up it was
decided that he had departed for
other and distant fields for the ex-
ercise of his peculiar abilities.
On June 5 came the registration
for the draft. Just why Bonnie
Remple appeared and signed up with
the other men of the county, when
by nature he was SO elusive does not
appear. But when the cards were at
last piled up his was given the serial
number of S68. And the result of
the grand drawing in the offices at
Washington placed him at number

county. When the board called him

H. S. AUDITORIUM
THE MERCHANT OF VENICE
THE BEN GREETS ARE
COMING.

This statement will mean a great
deal to those who know of the won
derful career of this famous company
of Shakespearean artists. The COM
pany is unique in that it is the only
company that has been able to sue
c~essfully play the works of the bard
of Avon night after night, summer
and winter for nearly IA years.
There are several definite reasons for
this remarkable success. At first
glance the popularity of the company
is surprising to many when the fact
is mentioned that no scenery is used.
Upon second thought, however, this
very feature Of the company prob
ably has more to do with the results
attained than any other single fea-
ture. When Ben Greet first began
to produce the plays of Shakespeare
he tried to analyze the failures of
his predecessors. In S~hakespeare's
time there were no wonderful scenic
effects, in fact the front curtain had
not yet been invented, and as for a
light effect" or a correct setting"
such wonders were not even dream
ed of. When Shakespeare wanted to
show his audience a beautiful moon
light scene he worded the speeches
in such a way that the character with
apparent Inconsistencies described
the scene so wildly that the picture
was drawn instantly on the screen of
each auditors imagination. Today
the process would be much different.
The stage carpenter would furnish
as good an imitation of the moon
light" as would be possible and there
activities would end. 1t has been
the aim of the Ben Greet players to
produce these plays as they were in
tended to be produced 500 years ago.
In addition to the faithfulness of
the production to original ideals in
the matter of settings, the company
is composed of IS real artists. Ev-
cry man and every woman is perfect
ly cast for the principal play produc-
ed each season. The result is simply
marvellous. Again this season, as in
the past, the Greets are pleasing au-
diences of from 600 to 1000 daily

on each side but one comes to this ques-
ton: Whom would you like to have

me. And. to judge by the manner in
which the Germans have conducted tho
war up to the present time. one can say
and believe that the world is not worth
living in II they should be the con-
querors.
In the opinion Of the people Of this
country and in my opinion, Germany
is governed by a clan possessed Of an
uncomfortable desire to conquer. or to
put 1t better, 10 govern the world, and,
inorder to attain this object its people
will stop at nothing. They violate the
neutrality Of countries like Belgium
