DR.. OGALvIE WILL FILL PULPIT
IN ABSENCE OF DR.. PATTON.

DR.. Patton leaves Thursday for a
months vacation in Tenn. Rev. d.
NJ. Ogalvie, of Sandwich, H., will
occupy the pulpit during his alb
sence. The Rev. Frank G.. Wright,
the Indian Evangelist, and his mus
ical director, j. e. Good, will con-
duct a revival service in the Pres
byterian church beginning the first
sabbath in Oct. Mr.. Wright is a
most attractive preacher and poses
a marvellous degree of Evangelis-
tic gifts, without modern sentiment
talism. Possibly the most attrac-
tive feature about Mr.. Wright is his
voice, trained originally for the stage
but when the Lord called him into
this work he brought along this
rare gift and at every service Mr..
Wright sings. Hundreds flock to
hear from him the gospel in song.
The month Of September will be
spent in preparation for the servic-
es. We trust the good people OF
Marietta will see that nothing in
terferes with what portends to be
the greatest revival in the history
of Marietta.

portunities to trip ladies and to
spoil the evening for other skaters,

young men will be placed. Every
young man whose name appears on
this list will be forbidden to enter
the hall and on no condition will they
be allowed skates until they prove
that they can behave as gentlemen.

For two weeks anyway.
For yesterday was the last day Of
school and the youngsters have been
SO worked up about it that the teach
ers showed rare wisdom in not trying
to make it a day for lessons. There
was nothing but programs to occupy
them and they could he as .fdgety as
they chose.
AS to the. programs every school
had good one for which they have
been preparing for weeks. Many
parents attended the closing exer-
cises for in most cases they were ex-
ceedingly entertaining and the chill
dren with two weeks of freedom in
view were at their best and proved
themselves real entertainers.
Several hundred boys and girls and
a host of teachers were yesterday re-
leased for the Christmas holidays,
and will not be required to report
for work until Jan. 5, that being the
first Monday of the new year. In the
meantime only presents and Christ

STALBERk PLEADS GUILTY
Prisoner Arrested For Stealing
$112.25 From Martin Jorgenson
Sent to Saltwater Prison
CLEARS UP GRAND JURY CASES

era \
Cases which were to come before
the next grand jury were all cleared
up yesterday afternoon when John
Stalberk pleaded guilty to a charge
of grand larceny in the first degree,
before Judge Stanton, and was SEN
fenced to an interminate term in
Saltwater prison, which will not ex-
ceed ten years. Attorney Scrutcbin
was appointed by the court to appear
for the defendant.
The case of Stalberk HAS aroused
considerable interest among Bemidji
people who will recall the sensational
arrest made by William Peckels who
captured the man in an alley after
a three-block chase. At the time the
prisoner gave his name as John Fal-
berg. According to the story told
by witnesses at the preliminary hear
ing before Court Commissioner D. H.
Fisk, Stalberk took $112.25 from Jor-
genson when the two were in the rear
room of the McNab saloon.
County Attorney Torrance has ap-
peared for the state and it was largely
through his efforts that the prisoners
bound over to the grand jury all
decided to plead guilty. The clear
ing up of these cases saves the county
considerable expense.
