Sup't Ritchie Gives Figures
Regarding the Present
School Attendance.
ENROLMENT OF PUPILS is
STEADILY INCREASING.
At Least Two Additional Teachers
Will Have to Be Provided for
The Coming Year.

To the patrons and voters Of
the Independent School District
of Bemidji: We are nearing a
special school meeting which
means great deal to the people
of Bemidji, and |, as superinten-
dent Of the public schools feel it
my duty to give to the public the
conditions as [ see them. That
we need more school room, at the
present time, I think no person
in Bemidji will deny when the
figures are placed before them.
Our total enrolment to the
present time is 748 against 664
last year, an increase of "a. In
the first primary department. we
haVe an enrolment of 227 pupils
DIVIDED as follows among three
teachers. Miss Miller, enroll
ment 90, seating capapity Of
room ga, present SO, Miss Allen,
enrolment 75,seating capacity Of
room Sc, present 68, Miss Leyde,
enrolment 60, seating capacity
of room ~, present so. Does
any one expect the best results
from these conditions.
In the fourth grades we have
enrolment of 1O4, present to-
day 80. These of course, are
divided between two teachers,
but we have only one fifth grade.
We can see very plainly one
teacher cannot take care of the
104 to be promoted next year,
hence another fifth grade teacher
will have to be installed. This
will make three teachers outside
OF our present building. Where
shall we place them? If we rent
it will cost at least $50 per month
providing we can secure rooms
at all. All this besides the costs
of fitting up rooms and the in
convenience experienced after
they are fitted up should be taken
into consideration in voting upon
the question at issue.
I believe it is the duty of every
voter Of the district to come out
and cast his or her vote either
for or against the proposition OF
bonding the district to secure
money for the purpose Of pro
viding more school room.
Respectfully Submitted,
A. p. Ritchie,
Superintendent.

Divorce Case of Felt VS.. Felt
to Be investigated by
Relatives.
DECREE WAS GRANTED HUS-
BAND LAST THURSDAY.
But Mrs. Felt Claims That No Ser
vice of Summons Was Made
Upon Her.

What is suspected by the re-
latives to be a deliberate attempt
to swindle Mrs. Mamie Felt of
Mallard out Of her rights as wife
of b. p. Felt, her husband, has
developed and an Investigation of
the affair is now in progress and
will in all probability bring out
interesting developments.
Felt applied for divorce be
fore Judge Sponner some time
ago and was granted an absolute
decree last Thursday, the de
fendant not appearing, and the
case went by default. Mrs. Felt
claims, however, that she knew
nothing of an action being insti-
tuted against her and was wholly
unconscious of any attempt on
the part of her husb to gain a
separation until she was told Of
the affair by others.
According to a statement made
today by a resident of Mallard,
Felt went to Arthur Johnson, the
constable, and requested him to
serve the summons upon her,
saying that all that would be nee
essary was to hand the papers to
her. Johnson refused to serve
the papers, and it is claimed that
Felt went to his brother, Henry,
and told him to serve the papers.
It is not known whether or not
the brother did this, but accord.
ing to several stories told by diff.
ferent parties. the woman was
never notified until after the de-
cree had been granted, although
upon their face all the papers
presented in court were found to
be legally straight.
On last Sunday evening Felt
took his wife from Mallard to
Shevlin and put her on the west
bound train, inducing her to go
to her relatives at Kennedy. She
was afterwards located at Hallock
where her parents live, by people
who are interested in the case,
and she returned to Shevlin last
night.
Her two brothers, V. e. Eek.
lund and Peter Ecklund, who
make their home at Hallock,
have arrived in Bemidii to inves-
tigate the affair.
Felt has disposed of all his
property to his brother, Henry
and an effort to set aside the de-
cree and reopen the case will be
made.

American Ship as Trim
as Any Vessel That
Comes to Port.
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
a Reception to His
Many Friends.

Inc American bark Homeward Bound,
which arrived in port last Wednesday
cooked at Mission street wharf No. /
Yesterday afternoon. No trimmer or
cleaner ship ever lay in this harbor. In
honor of his return 10 his home port
captain Chadwick d. Thompson gave an
informal reception on board the vessel
yesterday. She presents a very different
appearance now from the time she first
made her entry into this port, some four
and half years ago. when she was
known as the German ship Otto Glide
meister. When she arrived IN San Fran
cisco then she was dismantled and in bad
shape. She was repaired here at that
time, but her repairs cost so much money
mat she was condemned and sold by the
underwriters. Hind. Rolph & Co. bought
her, and by special act Of Congress had
her changed into American registry. On
her present trip from NeWcastle-on-Tyne
10 this port she made the run in 119 days,
Notwithstanding the fact that she ran
into rough wea ther and heavy gales. On
April so her sails were all practically torn
away and she was running under bare
poles. On June 90 when nearing the
Horn, she ran into heavy gales and
strong winds and again lost more sail
She was only twelve Gays in rounding
the Horn. Her cargo of coke, pig iron
and chalk will be discharged where she
now lies
