ma. -&%.s.-
My present mission to Bemid il is
particularly pathetic one. The
child am taking back is Willie
Simonson whose father died less than
year ago. He has been abandoned
by his mother who has disappeared
and no trace can be found of her.
He has been cared for up to the pre-
sent time by his uncle, Charles
Stebbins of this city. I was advised
that it would be best to place the
little chap, who is an exceptionally
bright lad, in the state school"
There are three children in Be-

has applications for more. One
boy brought here few years ago
is now a student in an. eastern

WASBoE,UP FOR ARSoN,FREE
State Decides insufficient Evidence to
Show He Started Conger Fire.

Before Court Commissioner A.
M. Cowell, John Wasboe, was order
ed released from the custody of the
sheriff, having been arrested and
confined in the county jail to await
a hearing on the charge of arson,
preferred by ]. 7. ,Conger, the order
for the prisoners release being given
at the request of County Attorney
McKusick, who moved the dissmisal
of the case against Wasbee, on the
ground that the evidence offered by
the complaining witness did not
constitute case.
Recently barn belonging to Mr..
Conger was found to be on fire, and
after the fire department had extin.
guished the. flames, John Wasboe
was taken into custody by the pol.
ice, on the charge of having set the
fire to the barn. = 1t was stated that
Wasboe was found on the premises
at the time the fire was discovered,
and as he was apparently somewhat
intoxicated. There was at that time
said to be good reason to believe
that he had accidentally fired the
barn.

Board of Education Votes to Install
Sanitary Fountain in Central
Building at Once.
MELGES TO SUCCEED RlTCHIE
Appointed to Fill Unexpired Term of
Latter, Whose Resignation Re-
Gently Was Accepted.

fuOllc orlnKlne cups nave Oeen
abolished in the schools of Bemidji.
This was decided at a special
meeting of the board of education
last night when it was voted to
discard the free for all mugs and to
install a sanitary fountain in the
Central building, the high school
building the only other structure in
the city supplied with water mains,
being thus equipped.
This action was taken upon re.
commentator of City Superintend-
|ent of Schools w. P. Dyer
and is in line with recon-
mendations of the state superintend-
ent of public instruction and of the
state board of health.
This means much for the sani-
tary condition of our schools, said
Superintendent Dyer, and is in line
with health measures which the
board hopes to perfect. The teachers
in our schools conduct an exami-
nation of every pupil and we are in
little danger from infectious disea Sc,
for a child who is infected or who
has been exposed to infection is at
once taken out of the school room.
The fact remains thst medical
examination of the pupils would be
desirable, especially for their eyes
and ears. 1t would also be wise
precaution to fumigate all school
rooms at least once a month"
Liquid soap and individual
towels are other sanitary measures
now employed in the Bemidji
schools.
The place on the board of e1u-
cation made vacant by the recent
resignation OF A P. Richie was
filled by the appointment of A. A.
Melges to serve out Mr.. Ritchie's
unexpjred term. Mr.. Melges will
be a member OF the board until
the next regular election in July,
1911.
The board decided to buy a high
grade piano for use in the seventh
and eight grades at the high school
building. Up to the present time
an instrument has been rented and
this was found to be an unwise
plan.
Reports from the contractor show
that satisfactory progress is being
made on the new graded school
building in East Bemidji and that it
probably will be ready for occupancy
the latter part OF next month.

PLAN BENEFITS FOR NORTH
Conference at St. Paul Attended By
rs Mackenzie Of Bemidji. r.:

Better fire protection laws, better
roads, better schools and more fire.
quent land sales will be the salient
features of legislation to be pro.
posed this winter for the develop
ment of Northern Minnesota as a
result of a conference in St. Paul
yesterday in the office of State
Auditor Iverson. Those at the con.
ference were H. w. Hughes, editor
Farm Stock and Home; w. r. Mac.
kenzie, secretary of the Northern
Minnesota Development association
and Samuel G. lverson, state auditor.
This conference was held to
arrange a program for the meeting
of the Northern Minnesota Develop
ment association at Brainerd,
December l and 2.
Mr.. Hughes, who made trip to
Koochiching county last summer, re.
ported that he found instances where
educational facilities were practically
denied the sons and daughters of
homesteaders in Northern Mime
sofa. He found one boy 10 years
old who had progressed only as far
as the fourth reader laboriously teach
ing his smaller brother what little
knowledge he possessed. He also
discovered that one farmer had
raised LOO bushels of potatoes on
four acres. These were rotting in
his cellar because of the impossibility
of reaching market.
Those at the conference are san
guine that new reapportionment
will be made which will give northern
Minnesota equal representation with
the rest of the state. On the basis
of population it should have twice
the representation it now has.

After Having Been Out For Twenty
four Hours it is Discharged BY
s Judge McClenehan
BURKE DECLARED MOT GUILTY.
Was Accused of Having Sold Liquor to
Person of Indian Blood-Comlin
Case On.

For the second time during the
term of district court which is being
held here jury has disagreed in the
case of the state VS.. Frank Van Tas
sell, charged with the crime of as
suit in the first degree.
The case was first tried a week
ago, and the jury at that time after
being out over night reported they
were hopelessly apart, and the
members were discharged.
| A new trial of the case was begun
Tuesday, a new jury being secured.
The case was given over to the jury
at 3:45 Wednesday afternoon, and
after the jury had been out twenty
five hours, Judge McClenahan~ sen,
for them and asked how they stood.
The judge was told that the jury
stood seven to five, the first ballot
had been that way and that every
succeeding ballot showed the same
result; that no argument would bring
the twelve men to one opinion.
Nevertheless the judge sent them
back, and at 5 o'clock yesterday
afternoon they again reported a dis
agreement and were discharged.
It is altogether likely that the case
will be continued to the next term
of court and bail fixed at such a
sum that Van Tassel can secure his
liberty until the next trial. Van
Tassell has been an inmate = of the
Beltrami county Jail since the middle
of last April. 1t is alleged that he
brutally beat John Lehener on the
bead with Ratchet and left him fol
dead, taking a pocketbook contain.

night. Burke claims not to own
any Fart of the Star theater, where
it is alleged the beer was obtained;

Burke furnished the liquor. The

verdict of not guilty. ...-.

MISSION OF EXPLORATION IN
PALESTINE.
soiomon's Temple and Other Things
Of Interest to the Christian World
Are Sought So Far With
out Any Result.

King Solomon's temple, the ark Of
the covenant. Aaron's rod and the
seven-branched golden candlestick
which stood in the holy of holies-
these are just a few of the treasures
for which a party of young English.
men are now excavating In Palestine
In the neighborhood of Jerusalem
The majority Of experts are of the
opinion that these treasures are not
to be found where they are now be-
Ing looked for but the members of
the expedition have other information
upon which they place reliance
This is a cryptogram, which Is said
to have been found in the Talmud by
Finnish engineer and which Is
thought to give clew to the place
where the treasures of King Solomon
are hidden. Exactly what this cryptic
gram Is has naturally been kept secret
by the Finnish engineer, but he has
convinced his supporters in the en-
terprise of its reliability. and already
good deal of work has been. done
toward a practical demonstration OF
its accuracy or inaccuracy
Perhaps i, even more interesting
than the search for King Solomon's
treasures is the composition of the
party engaged in 1t. At the. head of
the syndicate is Clarence Wilson.
brother-in-law Of Lady Sarah Wilson,
and very wealthy man. Then there
Is Robert Vivian Duff, commonly
known as Robin, lieutenant in the
Grenadier Guards and husband of
Lady Juliet Duff, perhaps the tallest,
as she Is certainly one of the most
beautiful women in London society.
With these is associated Hon. Cyril
ward, brother Of the earl OF Dudley
and OF hon. John Ward, who married
Miss Jean Reid, daughter of the
American ambassador to England.
Cyril Ward. like Wilson and Duff is
man OF means, having married Bar
oness de Bremen, a great Dutch heir
ess. Other members of the syndicate
are Capt. Montague g. Parker of the
Grenadier Guards, brother of the
earl of Morley: and two other guards
men, Hon. Mr. Walsh and Mr.. Foley.
Three months ago the necessary
permits having been obtained from
the Turkish government. the party

Value Of Economy.

No matter how economical a young
man is. his endeavors to save are
wasted if he has careless wife. He
might as we'll be doomed to spend his
strength and life in an attempt to
catch water in a sieve. The effort
would be scarcely less certainly vain.
Habits Of economy, the way to turn
everything in the household affairs
to the best account--these are among
the things which every mother should
teach her daughters.
