BISMARCK Youth DIED
Of kidney TROUBLE
YOUNG WEIGH WAS ILL ONLY
TWO DAYS At MILITARY
HOSPITAL.
Everything Possible Was Done for
Him - Post Surgeon Writes Partic-
uIars to Parents In This City.

Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas Welch Of this
city, whose son died at Fort Yellow
stone few weeks ago, were unable
at the time of his death to learn any
particulars concerning his demise.
They wrote to the post surgeon at the
fort, and it so happened that at the
time this letter reached there the
surgeon was away. When he returned
to the post he Immediately replied to
the parents letter, and the text of
his letter may be of interest to many
of the friends of the young man:
FIT. Yellowstone, Wyo., Sept. 2.
Mrs. Welch, Bismarck, N. D.
My Dear Madam: | am sorry that
my absence from home has prevented
me until now from writing you con-
corning your great bereavement. I'm.
fortunately had never seen your boy
until he was brought into our hospital
just two days before the end came.
At that time he was in a. semi-con.
scious condition and had little appre-
citation of where he was or even that
he was sick. AS time went by, how
ever, he apparently got better and we
had some hopes of saving him. His
mind, which had been clouded, seem.
ed to clear and he appeared to realize
how serious was his condition. Dur
ing this interval he spoke of his fam
family. This was on the morning of
the second day. The apparent i'm
provement in his condition encourag-
ed me greatly but my hopes were
short lived Towards evening he laps
ed again into a painless unconscious
ness which lasted until the peaceful,
quiet end. 1t was as though he had
dropped gently to sleep.
Your boy had kidney disease, form
of Bright's diesase, and it was due to
"urenia" form of this disease that
took him away.
Please accept my coincidence in
your great grief and rest assured that
everything possible was done for him
in the last two days Of his life.
Very sincerely,
Wallace Dewitt.

PUBLIC Schools
Opened monday
LARGE NUMBER OF PUPILS ARE
ENROLLED FOR THE CON-
ING YEAR.
Free Text Books Provided for Stu
dents - Several New Teachers
Have Been Employed.

Monday was the first day of school
in the Bismarck public schools. The
day was set aside for the enrolment
of pupils. The day was legal holt
day however, and this fact, together
with the fact that there was a heavy
shower in the morning, made the en-
rollment unusually light for the first
day. 1t is expected, however, that
there will be total attendance of be-
tween seven and eight hundred schol-
ars this year. About one hundred and
fifty of these will attend the high
school,.
There are many new faces among
the instructors this year. The super.
intendent, Mr.. Root, is a new arrival
in the city. He comes here highly
recommended and no doubt great pro-
gress will be made in the local insti'
tutions of. learning under his admin.
istration.
In the high school Principal Petrie
and Misses Brennecke and Cline have
been retained from last year, while
Miss Castor comes to the city from
Waseca, MINI. 4
OF the four grade teachers at the
high. school building, Misses Digby,
Martinsen and Boyle are retained from
last year, while Miss Edna Danford
has been added to the faculty.
The greatest change of all, how.
ever, has taken place in the teaching
staff of the Will school. Mrs. Cassel-
mann, the principal, was employed
last year, as was Miss, Boyeson. The
new instructors are Misses Lovass,
Miller, Wessberg, Harmon, White, o.
sen and Joy.
Miss Marie Hansen has been re.
tanned as special teacher in music and
drawing. Miss Hansen's work last
year was much appreciated and the
high school expects to have a splen-
did glee club tbs year under her di.
rection.
Yesterday there was not much do
ing at the schools. The sudden action
of the school board in adopting free
text books last Saturday has made a
large amount of work necessary to
mark tn different volumns and get
them ready for distribution. The
books will4be distributed among the
pupils some time today, and lessons
assigned.
Work and the first recitations will
commence in earnest Wednesday fore
noon and by that time the small boy
will have finally realized that the
days of rest and pleasure are
q thing of the past and nine more
of study are in store for him.
