German SIX TEAGHERS RESIGN; The city hall was filled, la;t night, with an enthusiastic audi ence when the curtain rose on thirty tive children, who, with Mrs. Foster at the plano, opened the program with Haydn’s Kinder Sy mphony.” Those who have heard this know that it cannot be adequate- ly aescribed. The skill 'and patience necessary to train a children’s orchestra are rare, and Mrs. Foster’s talent in this direction is unquestioned. Elbridge Lord played “Hum- ming Bird Waliz”’ without notes and without a mistake. Lucene McCuaig’s posision at the instrument, her delicacy and precision of touch and movement augur well for her future devel- opment. Forone of her years her playing is remarkable, The trio by Miss Olson, Mr. Symington and Mr, Kinney— SCHOOLS OVERGROWDED Surmised that Cupid Has Been ‘Busy--- New High School Building Is Needed. Has that little imp, cupid, been whispering to the teachers who are members of the éducational staff of the Bemidji schools, and created a desire in the minds of several of the excellent young ladies to renounce their labors? Atany rate, six of the lady teachers have sent in their resignations, and the members of the school board held a n.eet ing Wednesday evening to dis- cuss the matter. Those who bave resigned are: Miss Emma Leyde and Miss Miller of the First grade; Miss Allen of the Second; Miss Nelson of the “Miserere’ from was a beautiful selection skill fully vendered. The ladies’ quartet old favorite Babe.” posed of the following ladies Mrs. Smythe, Mrs, Pryor, Miss Miller and Miss Haldeman, Olive Miiler handled her num- ber charmingly, as did the three little misses who played the trio, Margaret Anderson, Lucene Mc- Cuaig and Dorothy Carson. The march was played in perfect time. Mr. Turner’s selection, ‘‘The Toreador,” from “Carmen,” was magnificently sung. He re- sponded to an encore with that charming song, “Ths Gypsy Fortune Telier.” Mr. Turner's second svulo, “A New Heaven and a New Earth,” from Gaul’s*Holy Clty”” was one of the finest things ever heard in the city. This solo required great power and volume of voice, as well as delicacy of interpretation. The parts sung with invisible quartet aecompaniment were particular- ly effective, The overture “Poet and Peas- ant,” played on two pianos by Miss Roberts and Miss Kaelble, Miss Mayer and Mrs. Foster, was_a difficult selection but was rendered with great success. Margaret Anderson’s solo dis- played anew her marked ability aad her wonderful progress. She was recalled and played a duet with Mrs. Foster. The duet played by Mrs. Fos- ter and Emil Engel was also well received, “Love the Pedlar,” suug by Mrs. Smythe, was charmingly rendered, and the program closed with “Picollo Fantasie” by Mrs, Black, Miss Mayer, Eva Foster and Mrs. Foster, a very strong number. As a whole, the program was very interesting, and was carried out without break or error, which certainly reflects great credit upon Mrs. Foster as a teacher. The training of children to play alone and in duet, trio and quar- tet, with perfect tune and self- possession, isan art in which Mrs. Foster excels. Perhaps the most novel feature of the program was the presen- tation, just before its close, of the beautiful gold medal,awarded by Mrs. Foster to that one of her pupils who held the best record for faithful attendance upon les- sons and for the best general progress. Mr. Russell presented the medal, and httle Miss Margaret Anderson was the fortunate re- cipient. The name of Olive Miller was second. Mr. Russell also announced that Mrs. Foster expects to give another such re- cital next year, when another medal will be awarded. Bemidji is indeed fortunate to have such & teacher of piano as Mrs. Fos- ter has proved herself to be. The musical was a financial success as well as an artistic one, snd much credit therefor is due Mrs. M. Mayer and Mrs. J. A. Ludington, who, to use a slang phrase, are “hustlers,” and were untiring in their labors. The following was the program in full, as rendered, Kinder Symphony. Lay Humming Bird Waltz. Elbrid Invitation to the Dance. Lucene McCualg Quartette—Santa Lucia. ........ Mrs, Smythe, Mrs. Pryor, D‘!Bfl Miller, Miss Haldeman “Trovatore’— sang “Santa Lucia’ soacceptably that they were recalled and sang that “Sleep Kentucky The quartet was com- Third; Miss Helen Oison of the Fifth, and Miss Clara Loud of the Sixth. Of the number, Misses Nelson and Loud have asked that their resignations take effect the beginning of the Easter vacation, the 29th inst., the others being effective at the close of the school year. The board accepted the resignations and requested Superintendent Ritchie to recommend names for their successors. The board also decided to engage the ser} vices of three additional teachers, one each in the Fourth and Seventh grades and the high school. Superintendent Ritchie stated that tbe schools were at the present time very much over- crowded and that 1t was impera- tive that additional room be se- cured as speedily as possible. It was the sense of the board that action should be taken to re- lieve the congested condition, and the matter was left to Pres- dent Lahr and Secretary Tor- rance to investigate and report at the next meeting of the board as to the advisability of erecting a high school building and the method to pursue in so doing. District Court. Court convened at 9 o’clock this morning, the first case on the calendar being that of R. H. Wood vs. B. F. Hatcher, being a claim for salary due the defend ant, earned while in the employ of the plaintiff. A jury was im- panelled and several witnesses examined, and the case was given to the jury shortly before noon. The jury brought in a verdict for the plaintiff in the full amount of the claim—$79,85. After the jury had brought in the verdict in the Woods vs. Hatcher case, the members of the petit jury remaining were excused until Monday morning. Clerk of Court Rhoda was re- quested to issue a special venire for twelve additional jurymen, the venire to be ready for service Monday morning. No business was transacted up to 8 o’clock, the court awaiting the pleasure of the grand jury, which was expected to make a report on some matters which had been under consideration by that body.

Fournier aud Wesley were brought into the court room, and were called by the judge to listen to the reading of the in- dictments - returned against them. Both men were very com- posed and displayed not the slightest show of fear. Wesley wore a somewhat furtive expres- sion, while Fournier hardly moved & muscle, Wesley was the first to be ar- raigned. He chose Charles W. Scrutchin as his counsel, which was acceptable to the court Fournier was represented by G. W. Campbell of this city. The specific charges against both men were the shooting with arifle, on April 7, 1904, of Aagot Dahl, and also N.O. Dahl, the further description of the rifle being unknown.

Fournier and Wesley were taken from the. court room and ledged in their cellsn the county jail. : In all, the grand -jury exam- ined twenty-five witnesses in the ceses against Wesley and Dahl.

Hold-up Artist Apprehended. A hold-up artist, who assaulted a pedestrian on lower Minnesota| avenue, late last night, was later apprehended, taken before a jus- tice of the peace and bound over to the grand jury on the charge of grand larceny. While Anton Johnson was walking on the sidewalk in front of Robert. Nelson’s saloon, late last night, he was accosted by a man (whose name was later as- certained as being William C. Mullen) who bit him in the face, knocking him down, when the assaulter took Johnson’s watch from his pocket and made his escape. Johnson notified the police of the assault and theft and an hour later Mullen was ap- prehended by a “plain clothes” man and taken before Justice Robert Clark, who remanded Maullen to the grand jury. Johnson’s watch was recovered and returned to him.
