scholarship but standings also

To get the most good from the
school the teacher should enroll
the first day and continue
throughout the term. Those
who thus attend the full time and
have an average standing of 80
per cent or above in methods will
be excused from taking the pro-

advantage of this excellent oppor-

Aside from the regular work
various things of Importance to
every teacher will come up for
consideration.
A meeting of the school board
is being planned for the latter
part of the session, when teachers
and school officers may become
better acquainted.
It is the intention to provide
at least one lecture a week for
the benefit of those in attendance
free. It is hoped that better re-
suits may thus be obtained. In
addition to this, the school will
be held in the high school build
ing, where the teachers can have
the free use of the text books
and library. Teachers should
bring some books with them as
these will be of assistance in the
preparations of the lessons. -
The expenses will be made as

able rates, either in private fa-
miles or at boarding houses. All

tits the theory of most people
that Mathieson made away with
Johnson and put his body in the
lake in order to hide his crime;
and that he afterwards cashed
the time check belonging to
Johnson and left the country.
However, Mathison's greed to
get everything that might come
to Johnson led to his undoing,
as he wrote letters, using John.
sons name, requesting that his
(Johnson's) mail be forwarded to
to him at Portland, Oregon.
That Johnson was foully
murdered there is no question,
as an examination of his body
disclosed a heavy load of buck
shot lodged in the head, with
the skull crushed in terrible
manner.
1t is known that the state has
some strong evidence against
Mathieson, and it is believed that
he will be unable to clear him.

has been lodged against hlm.

said he was sick and wanted
some money to go to Bemidji
with.
Mathieson put in an appear.
ance five days later, when Mathie.
son said he had been to Bemidji
and would work again. Mathie
son stated that Johnson had gone
to Crookston and would not re.
turn.
A week later Mathieson was at
Tenstrike again and called at the
home Of Mr.. Fellows and got the
key to the camp where he and
Johnson had been working, and
! went there with team to get his
belongings. He returned the
keys later in the evening, and
that was the last time Mathieson
has been seen.
Nothing was thought of the
disappearance Of either Johnson
or Mathieson, it being the gen
eral opinion that they had simply
left the community for other
parts.
When the body of Johnson was
found on May 16, inquiry was
made as to Johnson's financial
condition and other matters con-
corning the dead man. It was
learned that Johnson (who was of
a thrifty nature) had a certificate
of deposit on a Crookston bank,
for $500, and that the certificate
was cashed the 25th of February
by man claiming to be Johnson,

THE SALARY OF BEMIDJ|
POSTMASTER is RAISED
Gross Receipts OF Local Postoffice
This Year Were So, 900 More
Than Last Year.

G.. E. Carson, postmaster at
Bemidji, has received word from
the postal authorities at Wash

ary of the postmaster of the
Bemidji office has been raised
5000 per year, and that the
amount that will be paid the head
of the local Office, beginning July

This raise is based on the in
crease in the gross receipts Of
the Bemidji office during the last
year upon which salaries are de-
termined (Which ends March~3D
over those Of the year previous.
The receipts of the year ending
March 81, 1906, were $40 900 and
the receipts of the year ending
March 81. 1907, were over
$4,000, an increase Of over $3, 900.
This is certainly a flattering
showing, and Indicates that Be.
midi is growing steadily in popu,
lation and that the business of
the local pos toffice is increasing
accordingly.
Bemidji was but a third class
Office in 1903, having been placed
in that class July l Of that year.
The receipts of the Office grew
larger until in July /, 1905, when
they exceeded $4,000 and this

accordingly.
