Gone to Pacific Coast.

Mrs. D. c. Smyth, accompanied
by her daughter, Miss Florence
Smyth, and youngest son, Russell,
left Saturday afternoon via the Great
Northern for the Pacific coast. They
will visit for while with Mrs..
Smyth's daughter, Mrs. o. E. Bailey,
formerly of this city, but now of
Spokane, after which she will con-
tinue her journey to Seattle, where
she will visit her son, Thos. P.Smyth,
who has been on the west coast for
the past three years. Mrs. Smyth
has been in poor health for several
years and it is hoped that a winter
on the Pacific coast may prove bene-
fcial. They expect to be away from
Bemidji for eight or nine mouths.

On Saturday the editor of the
Pioneer, who is also game warden
for the State Game and Fish Com
mission for this district, received a
request from Carlos Avery, executive
agent of the commission, to 90 at
once to Coleraine and investigate as
to the truth or falsity of the state
ment that Theodore Roosevelt, Jr.,
son of President Roosevelt, was
hunting in the vicinity of Coleraine,
without having provided himself with
a nonresident license. We went on
the night train Saturday and spent
Sunday in the new mining town
looking up Teddy and his record,
which we found to be most excellent
A special telegram from ST.. Paul
to the Duluth News Tribune gave an
account of the intentions of the COM
mission as follows:
St. Paul, Sept.7.-A. G.. Rutledge,
deputy game warden at Bemidji,
has been instructed to 60 to Coler-
aine and apprehend Teddy Roose-
welt, Jr., for hunting in Minnesota
without the license required by law
of foreign resident.
1t is all the result of Capt. J. C..
Greenway, formerly in command of
a company of the Rough Riders"
inviting Teddy, Jr., to take a hunt
ing trip on his private property near
Coleraine. Stories which reach the
game and fish commission at the
capitol, say the invitation was
accepted, and that the two are al
ready on their hunting grounds.
The matter was called to the
atte ntion of Samuel +. Fullerton,
former executive agent, and now
superintendent of hatcheries. Car
los Avery, executive agent, was at
Hutchinson. Fullerton called him

PROF. RITCHIE WRITES
OF THE SCHOOL OPENING
Tells of the Crowded Condition that Prevails in tho
Various Rooms and the Necessity for More Room
for the Scholars

Bemidji public schools opened
last Tuesday morning, with an en-
rollment of about $50 pupils.
This is considerably in excess O.
the enrolment of any previous year
during the first week of school.
All teachers were present, excep,
Mrs. Dwyer, who is suffering with {
broken arm, her place being filled
for the presently Mrs. G.. w. Camp
bell.
Teachers and pupils have settled
down to work, and everything i.
moving splendidly, and this yeal
bids fair to be the best school yeal
in the history of Bemidji schools
The work is hampered, however, fol
the lack of school room.
A third and a fourth grade are
located in the Reed photograph
building, and it is necessary to have
halliday sessions for the first grade
pupils in the central building (therf
being about eighty pupils enrolled
or rent another room down town,
which does not seem advisable under
all the conditions.
There are more pupils in the high
school than can we'll be accom-
modated. Five more seats have beer
placed in the room and there are
still about that number without
seats; and no doubt the enrolment
this week will be increased by eigh'
or ten. -
The Bemidji daily pioneer. [volume] (Bemidji, Minn.) 1904-1971, 1907-09-09

I will state in this connection that
all pupils entering the high school
department after today will have to
make up and take an examination in
all work gone over by the class, and
no student will be allowed to enter
the high school for new work after
the beginning of the second month
of school.
Complaint has reached me that
there are several boys and girls of
school age who are not in school,.
will say that the school age in Min
nesota is from S to FL, and the law
makes it obligatory on every parent
or guardian of children to see to it
that every child between the ages of
8 and 10 is in school during the
entire time the public schools are in
session, unless such child is legally
excused by the proper authority.
The law makes no provision
whereby children under II years of
age may be given permits to work.
Those between the ages of II and
16 may be given permits to work,
under certain conditions. All en-
ployers are again warned not to
employ children under Is who do
not have the proper permit. These
may be secured from the superin-
tendent at the school house, provid-
ing the proper showing is made.
Very truly yours, "

THE END OF THE WORLD
HAD BEEN PREDICTED
An Evangelist at FunkIey Moved the
County Attorney and Others
to Tears.

County Attorney Henry Funkley
returned this morning from visit
to Funkley, the Beltrami county town
which claims him as "chaperone."
Mr.. Funkley's face bore such a
concerned solemn look that an in
terrogation as to Anything wrong"
was met with the following response:
Yes l just got in from Funkley.
I usually 90 up there to spend Sum
days, more for the purpose of attend
ing the religious meetings that have
been held there of late than for any,
thing else.
1t is indeed remarkable how the
new evangelist has impressed the
people up there with the idea of the
destruction of the world. He has
preached it to crowded churches,
school houses and halls for the last
three weeks.
The time for this awful calamity
was set for II o'clock last night.
He has been painting in glowing
terms how the great masses of livid
flame would suddenly envelop the
earth, instantaniously burn the
mountains to crisp, evaporate the
oceans and sputteringly throw off
the great cities of the world like Sc
many sparks from furnace-ending
it all with the roar and crash of the
bursting planet and to tell the
Gods truth he had the people sc
scared that the whole fire depart
ment of Funkley was out last night
with the engine and the hose cart to
prevent the catastrophe.
The Pioneer man simply said
nothing and handed a cigar the
"Colonel's" way.
No Thanks, I don't SMOKE" sale
Mr.. Funkley. Il have got to hurry
across the street to strike Johr
for the loan of a dollar, or else he
will tackle me to pay that old laun
dry bill. See you again.

Northern Counties Made Good Showint

Northern Counties Made Good Showing.
Wright count y was awarded first
place in the contest of north
ern county agricultural exhibits at
the state fair. Itasca county, the
most northerly one in the state
represented in the competition,
made a remarkable record in some
lines, excelling the other counties in
potatoes, stock, vegetables and
grains.
Morrison and Stearns both took
the lead in culinary vegetables. Ait
kin and Wright counties in fruits.
Morrison and Wright counties in
native grasses, and Itasca and Todd
counties in tame grasses. Todd
county did not show in four classes,
which accounts for it's low scores.
Following is a summary of the
report of the judges on the northern
counties, First prize, Wright; second
prize, Morrison; third prize, Aitkin;
fourth prize, Itasca; fifth, Stearns;
Sixth, Pine; seventh, Todd.

Fashion absolutely defies economy
even in matters sartorial, and just as
we have grown used to short sleeves
and have had our coats cut off to
the elbow, the tickle jade declares that
we shall revert once more to long
sleeves. Many a dinner-dress, for in
stance, with low decolletage shows
the sleeve worn over the wrist. TAX
ing it all round, especially in tailor
mades, l consider the long sleeve is a
boon to the generality of womankind.
To begin with, it is practical, and
nothing was more incongruous for or
binary everyday use than a sleeve
which left exposed half bare arm!
When blue serge frock was finished
just above the elbow and the glove
was not long enough, it did not seem

for any occasion on which we wear

sleeves and shorter skirts, with coats
tending towards greater length. In
