Last Sunday afternoon about 3
o'clock occurred the death of Merritt
S. Cook, father of Mrs Harry Rey-
holds and Ray NJ. Cook of Bemidji.
Last evenings Duluth Herald says:
merritt S. Cook, &c years old, one
of the best known civil engineers in
the city, died about 3 o'clock yes
terday afternoon at his residence,
1902 Minnesota avenue, Park Point,
of peritonitis, from which he had
been suffering for the last three
weeks. He came to Duluth in 1892
from Grand Rapids, Mich, and was
actively engaged in his profession
until his recent illness.
"He is survived by his widow, two
daughters, Mrs. Alice Ashley of Win
nipeg and Mrs. Harry Reynolds of
Bemidji, and two sons, w. H. and
Ray M. Cook of this city. The
funeral will take place tomorrow at

and are anxious and willing to main
tain one, can hope to secure such q
prize.
The Commercial club will do its
share; the school board will gladly
obey the will Of the people Of Be
midji, and the people Of Bemidii
are short-sighted, to say the least,
II they do not exert themselves at
this time to better their schools and
to better the community at large,
when it requires no expenditure ;of
money on their part, but merely
united effort to show the state high
school board that such a school is
needed at Bemidji, and that the
people here are anxious and willing
to maintain it.
1t seems to us that every man,
woman and child in this community
should be of one mind on this ques-
ton, and that they should give the
Commercial club and the school
board their heartiest support in
every effort they may make to Sc
cure an Agricultural department for
the schools of Bemidji.
The state of Minnesota pays moth
ing toward the support of the
manual training and domestic
science courses, except where an
agricultural department is installed,
but in determining the cost of main
tanning an agricultural department
the total expenditures for domestic
science, manual training and agri-
cultural development are combined,
and the state pays two-thirds of the
total cost of all such departments,
but not exceeding $4,000 in any one
year.
In arriving at the "cost" of MAIN
tanning these courses, all disburse-
ments, except for permanent i'm
provements, are taken into consider
alton. 1t would be necessary. for
this district to secure tract of land.
by lease or purchase, and not less
than five acres, for an experimental
farm. It is fair to assume that the
cost OF such q tract of land, if actual
" purchased. would not exceed $500,
a1herefaFasaths gain to the dis
-trict for the first year would cover
this expense, leaving the district an
actual profit after the first year.

Authorities Seize Yacht as She Leaves
New York Aarbor.
New York. March 28,-The seventy
foot schooner yacht Loyal. as trim .
boat as is to be seen in, New York
harbor, lies a prisoner alongside the
destroyer Seneca, OF Tompkinsville
warship station. She was seized by
Captain Carmine of the revenue cutter
service, on orders from the treasury
department in Washington as she was
stealing out past Sandy Hook just be-
fore daylight.
All night the Seneca had. cruised
below the Hook, with her searchlight
playing on all sailing craft. Her
search was finally rewarded when the
spotlight revealeds the white canvas OF
the Loyal, drifting out with all sail,
set. The Loyal was taken In tow.
with a revenue officer on hoard.
According to unofhcial information
the Loyal was seized because OF the
representations OF the Haytian minis
ter to tho United States, who said that
he understood that arms and ammuni-
ton were being put on board the boat,
which was to clear for Hayt.

Klemer, however, refused to say
whether the Appropriations commit

Representative Lennon was dis
gusted and moved that Klemer be
excused with the understanding that
he would not reiterate his charges.
There was some objection to this
motion and Lennon said, "Well, what
are you going to do with man like
this? You can't keep him standing
on the floor all the rest of the ses-
sion. OF course, you MAY take him
down to Red Wing
Speaker Dunn then moved that
Klemer be excused and this motion
prevailed.

make specific charges. He was in
no way embarrassed and what he
had to say he said from the shoulder.
He felt that he was not on, trial and
he refused to yield to Speaker Dunn

that. if he had used unparlimentary
language he was ready to retract; that
he was not aware that he had done
anything which would bring him be-

such ridicule.
