SWINDLE IS SUSPECTED Divoree Case of Felt vs. Felt to Be investigated by Relatives. DECREE WAS GRANTED HUS- BAND LAST THURSDAY, But Mrs. Felt Claims That No Ser- vice of Summons Was Made Upon Her. What is suspected by the re- latives to be a deliberate attempt to swindle Mrs. Mamie Felt of Mallard out of her rights as wife of K. P, Felt, her husband, has developed and an investigation of the affair is now in progress and will in all probability bring out interesting developments. Felt applied fora divorce be fore Judge Sponner some time ago and was granted an absolute decree last Thursday, the de fendant not appearing, and the case went by default. Mrs. Felt claims, however, that she knew nothing of an action being insti- tuted against her and was wholly unconscious of any attempt on the part of her husband to gain a separation until she was told of the affair by others. According to a statement made today by a resident of Mallard, Felt went to Arthur Johnson, the constable, and requested him to serve the summons upon her, saying that all that would be nec- essary was to hand the papers to her. Johnson refused to serve the papers, and it is claimed that Felt went to his brother, Henry, and told him to serve the papers. It is not known whether or not the brother did this, but accord- ing to several stories told by dif- ferent parties, the woman was never notified until after the de- cree had been granted, although upon their - face all the papers presented in court were found to be legally straight. On last Sunday eyening Felt ‘took his wite from Mallard to Shevlin and put her on the west bound train, inducing her to go to her relatives at Kennedy. She was afterwards located at Hallock where her parents live, by people whoare interested in the case, -and she returned to Shevlin last night, - Her two brothers, V.E. Eck- lund and Peter Ecklund, who make their home at Hallock, have arrived in Bemidji to inves- tigate the affair. Felt has disposed of all his property to his brother, Henry and an effort to .set aside the de- cree and reopen the case will be made, New Pastor Arrives. Rev. S. L. P. White of Lake- field arrived in the city last night to take the pastorship of the Presbyterian church of Bemidji. Rev. White is making improve ments to the parsonage today and his family will arrive from Lake- field tomorrow. A reception will be tendered Mr. and Mrs. White in the near future. Dance at Northome. Arrangements have been made to give a popular dance at North ome Saturday night and it is ex pected that a number of Bemidji people will attend. The dance will be given at the Brannon hotel and promises to bea suc- cessful affair. The Bemidji orchestra has been engaged to furnish music. Chas. Dailey, manager of the Cass Lake branch of Wheelock’s Employment office,arrived in the city last night after an absence of several months.

An article printed in the Pio- neer Monday evening stated that the unsuccessful faction in the recent election held in that city had made threats to put the town under the ban of the state law. A petition circulated among the people of that city was forward- ed to Governor Johnson yester- day, and another will be present- ed to the Blackduck city council at the next regular meeting Mon- day night. It now develops that that the same faction, providing they are successful at Blackduck expect to carry the war into Be- midji in order to put the county seat under the ban of the state law. Whag effect the petitions to the governor and the Blackduck council will have remains to be seen, but it is not expected that they will carry with them any great amount of weight. Sunday School in Forest.

Last summer while recovering from ill- ness of fever, I had a severe attack of Inflammatory Rheumatism in the knees, from which I was unable to leave my room for several months. I was treated by two doctors and also tried different kinds of linaments and medicines which seemed to' relieve me from pain for awhile, but at the same time I was not any mnearer getting well., One day while reading a paper Isaw an advertisement of 8, 8. 8. for Rheumatism, I decided to give ita trial, which I did at once. After I had taken three bottles I felt a great deal better, and I still continued to take it regularly until I was eutirely cured. I now feel better than for years, and I cheerfully recommend S. S.’S. to any one suffering from Rheumatism. 613 32d St. 'HAS. E, GILDERSLERVE.

The Swift Specific Company, Atianta, Ga Regarding -the Present School Attendance. = ENROLLMENT OF PUPILS IS STEADILY INCREASING. At Least Two Additional Teachers Will Have to Be Provided for The Coming Year. To the patrons and voters of the Independant School District of Bemidji: We are nearing a special school meeting which means a great deal to the people of Bemidji, and I, as superinten- dent of the public schools feel it, my duty to give to the public the conditions as I see them. That we need more school room, at the present time, I think no persen in Bemidji will deny when the figures are placed before them. Our total enrollment ‘to the present time is 748 against 664 last year, an increase of 74. In the first primary department we haye an enrollment of 227 pupils diyided as follows among three teachers; Miss Miller; enroll- ment 92, seating capapity of room 64, present 69, Miss Allen, enrollment 75,seating capacity of room 56, present 68, Miss Leyde, enrollment 60, seating capacity of room 42, present 50. Does any one expect the best results from these conditions. In the fourth grades we have enrollment of 104, present to- day 90. These of course, are divided between two teachers, but we have only one fifth grade. We can see very plainly one teacher cannot take care of tlie 104 to be promoted next year, hence another fifth grade teacher will have to be installed. This will make three teachers outside of our present building. Where shall we place them? If we rent it will cost at least $60 per month providing we can secure rooms at all. All this besides the costs of fitting up rooms and the in convenience experienced after they are fitted up should be taken into consideration in voting upon the question at issue. I believe it is the duty of every voter of the district to come out and cast his or her vote either for or against the proposition of bouding the district to secure money for the purpose of pro- viding more school room. Respectfully Submitted, —A, P. Ritchie, Married Yesterday. Harry Palmer and Miss Nettie A. Daggett were married yester- day afternoon at the home of Mr. and Mrs. A. B. Forte, Rev. Thos.

Mr. and Mrs. Palmer have alarge number of friends in Bemidji, Mr. Palmer being employed at the Princess Grocery company. They will make their home in Bemidji for the present. L~ . Teachers Meet.

Sup’t Ritchie Gives Figures| ion to Preieh@ Spread of 3 ’Hydri)p_hobia., At the next meeting of the city council Monday night there will probably be a resolution passed requiring all dogs to be either muzzled or tied up in order to entirely check the spread of hy- drophobia. The matter was dis cussed at the meeting held Mon day night, but no action was taken and it was laid over to the next regular meeting. Several weeks ago the city harbored a large number of mad dogs and the police killed many of them. In view of the recent biting of a Cass Lake lady by a mad dog,the authorities will use every precau- tion to prevent the spread of the disease in Bemidji and they ex- pect the co-operation of the citi- zens of the city. David Beauregard of Black- duck arrived in the city . this morning and left this afternoon for Cass Lake, where he will transact business. Stay of Execution Granted.
