The public schools will open to- morrow and it is the duty of every parent to see that theiwr children attend the first day. The assignment of teachers and " the division of the town as to the differént grades has already been published in this paper and will be carried out as near that way as possible. Parents who have the interest of “their child at heart should keep them at schiool, and not let the matter of @rning 'two or three dollars a week " tike from the child what he or she " {5 ¢ntitled to—an education. ‘Parents who are careless in the $ending of their children to school ‘are, 'morally speaking—criminally fiek‘llgent. The ¢hild’s education is the mould for his future'actions. And he can do'better for himself, if well edu- cated, than he can otherwise. Today is an age of progress and every one should have this spirit, it should be cultivated in the child. No better way can be chosen to cultivate this in the child than to create a sentiment to do progressive "i'rk along educational lines from childhood. In after years this progressive spirit will stay with the child, he or she can form better ideas from read- ing and study than in any other way. In fact study is the only way most of the better ideas can be ob- tained. The Bemidji board of education is doing 'their best for the public schools, are liberal in providing "Tibraries and material for the schools, and the corps of teachers have been carefully selected and Bemidji can well say that her schools rank among the best in the state. It is the duty of every citizen to get this educational spirit and see that their children are there the first day and stay until the last day.

BROKE 'DOWN LAST SPRING Death Was Directly Due to Disease of the Liver, Aggravated by Com- plications—Condition of the Patient Had Been Kept Secret. New London, Conn., 7 ug. 3\.—Rich- ard Mansfield, the best known actor on the American stage, passed away during the morning at his summer resldence, Seven Oaks, Ocean avenue. Death was directly due to a disease of the liver, aggravated by complica- tlons. Dr. A. H. Allen, a local physi- clan, who has been in charge since Mr. Mansfield's arrival here from Sar- RICHARD MANSFIELD. anac, Lake, N. Y., states that death was not entirely unexpected, although this fact had not been made public. Mr. Mansfield's condition had been re- ported as being excellent. ‘Worst Feared for Several Days. It was stated that he stood the journey well from Saranac Lake and that he was up and around his home here until three days ago. Then a turn for the worse set in and Mr. Mansfield was confined to his room. On Thursday Dr. McClellan of Pitts- burg was summoned. Dr. Allen said that he had feared the worst for sev- eral days, There were quite a number of con- ditions that prevented his getting well. During the great actor’s last moments he was lying in a condition of coma and did not recognize the loved ones at his bedside. There were present at the time of his death his wife, his brother Fellx, his young son Gibbs and the physicians and nurses. The imtense nervous strain under which. Richard Mansfield worked caused a complete” breakdown last spring while he was playlng an en- gagoment in Scranton, Pa., though he had been in poor health for some time. He recovered sufficiently to enable him”to make a voyage to England. The English climate failed to benefit the actor and several weeks ago he returned to this country and went to Ampersand, in the Adirondacks. Mr. Mansfield longed to be in his summer home in New London, Conn., and sev- eral days ago he came there on his privato car. TEXT MADE PUBLIC.

Replies have been re- celved In most favorable terms from the presidents of Costa Rica, Nlcara- gua and Salvador, but have not yet been made public. Vessel Escapes Forfeiture. ‘Washington, Aug. 31.—After careful consideration of all the facts concern- ing the seizure and of the subsequent proceedings to forfeit the Japanese schooner Nitto, alleged to have been engaged in fllegal sealing operations in Alaskan waters, the department of justice has disapproved of the forfei- ture proceedings.

FALLS TWO THOUSAND FEET| Balloonist Is Badly Hurt, But Prob- ably WIill Recover. Barnstable, Mass,,lAug. 81.—Nearly 5,000 persons at the Barnstable ‘¢oun- ty fair saw “Professor” Maloney, &. balloonist, drop 2,000 feet to-earth, strike on top of a cedar fence post and escape probably with his life. Ma- loney made his ascent late Thursd, afternoon and as the visitors at'the fair grounds gazed upward they.saw., that his attempts to cut his parachute were fruitless. For fully two miles Maloney floated along. The gas was rapidly leaking from the big bag above him and he prepared for the long drop. Maloney and the balloon came earthward rapid- 1y. As it neared the earth the can- [-- vas fell about the body of the aero- naut. He struck in a half standing posl- tion on the top of a big cedar post used by a farmer to mark off his fleld. His back was terribly torn and his left arm badly injured. HANGED AT SEBASTOPOL. Russian Officer Who Led Mutiny on ‘Battleship. Odessa, Aug. 31.—Matushenko, the Russian non-commissioned officer who | led the mutiny on the battleship Kniaz Potemkin and commanded that vessel on its sensatifonal cruise about the Black sea in the summer of 1905, was banged at Sebastopol, to which place he was secretly removed after his ar- rest here Aug. 16 and where he was tried by courtmartial and sentenced to [ death. After abandoning the battleship at Kustendje, Roumania, Matushenko went to New York, where he worked |2 for two years in an iron foundry. Homesicknesg led him last July to re- turn to this city, where the attention of the police was directed to him and he was arrested with other members of a revolutionary organization which had been formed under his leadership. OBSTACLES 'HAVE ARISEN. Appropriations Committee May Not | Go to Panama. Washington, Aug. 31.—Concerning the proposed visit of members of the appropriations committee of the house |, - of representatives to Panama in No- vember some serious obstacles have arisen. In the first place there are no exist- ing committees of the house of repre- 3entatives. They all expired with the adjournment of the Fifty-ninth con- gress on March 4 last. Consequently some of the officials of the war department think it rather presumptious, to say the least, for members-elect of the Sixtieth con- gress, who have not yet been sworn in, | to visit Panama in an official capacity. Return at the Old Scale. St. Louis, Aug. 31.—About forty telegraphers who have been handling leased wires in the packinghouses in East St. Louis returned to work dur-|! ing the day after having been out for two weeks.
