local institution, and rightfully He points with
pride to the new building md declares that it is q

That the new school building will enroll more
outside students than ever before is q foregone
conclusion. Letters from practically every COM.
muaity and village in this section are being re-
ceived by Mr.. West asking about enrolment.
It will mean greater attendance from town and
country and will bring to Bemidji, not only addi-
tonal students, but additional dollars by students
who would not otherwise come here. -. .:
The practice Of economy is q mighty good doc
trine to preach, when it Comes to school and
county administration, but it must be considered
false economy to cheaper our school facilities
The school board has acted most wisely in adj
minstering the affairs of this district giving it
such a splendid institution Of learning and should
be highly commended for It's foresight in giving Be

THE FAIR AFTERMATH

d Northern Minnesota was given q splendid fsir
From every angle you look at it the fair was de-
cided success. True; some things might have been
different and better, for that matter, but taking
it all in all, the fair was good one. ~ -
Next year some things should be different. The
price in the first place should be less. The farmer
with his family should be able to afford coming.
He could hardly stand the price this year, and we
hardly blame him for not enthusing over the fair
He should be able to buy family ticket SO that his
whole family could spend day without his having
to mortgage his farm to get within the gate and
grandstand. .-.y .y., - $500.
The daily entertainment next year will be differ

every effort to give greater variety this year, but
was unable to, do 80. Next year it might give
shorter program with q: greater variety, which
doubtless will appeal to the greatest number.
Yes the concessions, too, might be changed. We
are not finding fault with anyone. Far be It from
us to do so but we feel that we have right to sug-
gest In fact we consider it our duty to do so. ::

cessions were all Of the "get the money. nature"

could be provided, would meet with general approx

business to prevent false FIRE reports.

WERE TWINS ONE
OR TWO PERSONS?
DIVISION OF A FORTUNE Is IN
THE ANSWER.
is UP TO COURTS TO DECIDE
IF II Is Held Franz Black is the Son
Of Both He Will Be Awarded
100000 Estate.

Chicago.-The death of Rosa ana
Josefa Black, the "Siamese twins,
has left the Cook county probate court
with a legal problem which apparently
is unprecedented. In disposing OF the
100000 estate OF the twins, the court
must decide if 1~1-year-old Franz IS
the son OF one or Of both Of the twins.
A scientific controversy which be-
gan even before the death of the
sisters has resolved itself into the
question: Were Rosa and JOsefa
Black, one individual personality or
did they constitute separate entities?
If they were one personality, the
son will inherit the entire fortune
which was accumulated by the twins
during their exhibition tom Of the
world. II they were two distinct per
sonalities, Rosa being the mother and
Josefa the aunt, only Rosa's half OF
the estate would 60 TO the lad, while
Josefa's closest relatives would be
entitled to her half.
Physicians say there are physiO-
logical facts to support each content
ion and attorneys agree that a legal
opinion must be based on a scientific
analysis Of the bodies.
SO far, a ~postmortem has been
opposed by the brother, Frank Black,
who is in the city.

MlLADY CAN SMOKE IN PUB
Lie; THE BAN WAS MISTAKE
Places Which Cater TO the Gratifi-
cation Of Their Passion for the
Weed Relieved.

New York-PoIico commissioner
Enright lifted the ban on smoking by
women in public as suddenly as he
clamped it down, when he learned
that Alderman M~cGuinness' anti.
smoking ordinance had never been
passed by the board Of aldermen or
signed by Mayor Hylan.
Daniel w. F. Mccoy, an employee in
the city clerks office, was led forth,
in sackcloth and ashes as official
goat Mccoy, it was explained, was
charged with clipping the official city
record for resolutions and ordinances
that have been adopted and approved
by the mayor and sending them along
to the proper officials for enforce
ment. He was still trying to explain
how the anti-smoking bill was sent
along when City Clerk Cruise rallied
to his support with a brOadside against
Commissioner Enright's staff for fail
ing to examine the purported ordi-
nance carefully enough to see that it
was not properly stamped and indoors
ed.
News that it was all a mistake came
like a reprieve from the gallows to
proprietors Of scores OF places, where
qualification of milady's passion for
the soothing weed was the chief
source of bread and butter revenues.

union to accept a slight reduction in
wages and permit a return to the s.
cent fare, for which the public is
~clamoring. He told the union repre-.
sentatives that to fight for the present
war peak wage scales would result
in the loss Of public opinion and the
men might suffer a deeper wage cut
later.

SHOOTS HIS WIFE; THEN
TURNS GUN ON SELF
Proprietress Of a Restaurant Is in a
Serious Condition in a Sioux
City Hospital.

Randolph, Neb.-Mrs. A. J. Mrsnv,
proprietress OF Il restaurant here, was
shot and seriously wounded by her
husband, who then turned the gun on
himself, inflicting a wound in his
breast above the heart. 1t is not
thought that his wound is dangerous.
1t is believed the shooting was the
result Of domestic trouble, although
both parties refuse to talk Of the
affair.
The first intimation Of trouble was
when a passerby heard shots and saw
Mrs. Mrsny stumble from the front
door Of her place of business crying
He shot me" and fall to the sidewalk.
She was carried inside. In the
kitchen on a cot was found her
husband with a bullet wound in his
breast. Nearby was a .32-caliber
five-shot revolver containing one
empty she'll and one loaded shell.
Wounds on the body of Mrs. Mrnsy
indicate she had been shot five times.
She was taken to a Sioux City
hospital.
Mrs. Mrsny, whose husband is en-
ployed by a grain firm in Clarkson,
came to Randolph, Neb., three months
ago and opened a restaurant. Al
though her husband continued to live
in Clarkson, he visited her on num-
erous occasions. On Sunday after
noon he drove from his home in an
auto and registered at a hotel.
Mr.. Mrsny was placed under arrest
by Sheriff Dave McFadden, of Hart
ington. who was notified Of the
shooting.
