STEWART MAKES BIENNIAL REPORT Continued from First Page the school grounds and improve the sanitary conditions. State High School Examinations. —It is to be remembered this young country and not to be com- pared in the number of certificates obtained but in the progress it is making with the older portions of the state. Two years ago state examinations were held in only three or four common school districts while the past year fifteen schools made application. Of these Turtle River deserves mention. This school sent in for the first time 37 papers and received 34 certificates 27 of which were “pass pluss.” Transportation of Pupils.—There is but one school transporting pupils at this time, the success of which is as yet too much of an experiment to express an opinion. Under favor- able conditions such a plan would seem wise. Patrons’ Day.—With a view of enlisting a more cordial interest in the work of the schools of the county the teachers have been requested to set apart one day as visiting day for the parents of the district, not later than Friday before is a | not thus included. . Thanksgivi Teachers are further asked to report to the County Super- | intendent as follows:— 1. The number.of members of school board present, 2. The number of parents pres- ent. 3. . The number of visitors present 4. - The number of pupils enrolled. 5. The number pupils present. Teachers very generally have expressed their williness to observe the day and-from the information obtained last year some very inter- esting reports are anticipated. Agriculture and The County School,—Agriculture was taught in the summer school during the en- tire six weeks and in addition there- to Prof. L. P. Harrington of the Crookston Experimen:al Station gave the teachers a course of lec- tures for one week on agriculture which was greatly appreciated by all. The work of the summer sohool is thus very commendable and reaches a large number of teachers but -only for a short time. The county school as suggested would furnish a means for more thorough training. For this reason if for none other such schools it would appear will become an important factor in our educational system. Improvements.—Quite a number of schools have been provided:with heating and ventilating systems and much is being done to insurel the health and comfort of the child- ren. People who sit in a well ven- tilated room are - apparently less restless, more content and cheerful in their work and can study better than when confined in a room in which the ventilation is poor. Many buildings have been repaired and improved in other ways. The school grounds have been improved and in some places flower beds are to be seen. It is regretted however that some times in clearing the school grounds some of the best trees were removed. It will take years to replace these. In this con- nection and owing to the fact that ground is often frozen or too cold to observe as appointed the teachers of the county have been urged so far as possible to observe an Autumn Arbor day appointed by individual choice. I would suggest that the State Superintendent urge the nec-| essity of having some day in au- | tumn set apart by the governor to be thus observed. Respectfully submitted, W. B. Stewart, Co. Supt. To the Hon. J. W. Olson, State Superintendent of Public Instruction, St. Paul, Minn. | Go to International Falls. B. F. Wright of Park Rapids, re- publican candidate for judge of the Fifteenth Judicial district, arrived in the city yesterday afternoon from the eastern part of the district and] left on the evening train for North- ome and other points “up the line” in the interest of his campaign. Since the foregoing was written we learn that Mr. Wright went to Inter- national Falls and that Mr. Thwing accompanied him to that place. Evidentally the two gentlemen haveI donned their “gum shoes,” and are | | doing something that will not bear the light of day. Special sale, ladies tailor made suits, this week.

Grant. a homesteader living north of Wilton, was a guest at the Remore hotel yesterday. Pay Your Taxes. It is perhaps well at this time to remind our readers that the last half of the taxes which were not paid last May are now due, and that after November 1 a penalty of 10 per cent will accrue. - Now is the time to pay up and thereby 1insure = yourself against being obliged topay a big bonus for the privelege of keeping your tax mornev a few days. Do it now. Surveying Notice. County Surveyor Roy Bliler announces that the county sur- veyor’s office will continue to be located “in the office of M. D. Stoner, 415 Bemidji avenue.

TRIAL WILL NOW PROCEED Judge Hough, on Motion of Defend- ;ants’ Attorneys, Dismisses the Counts in the Indictments Alleging Conspiracy and Misappropriation, but Refuses Application to Dismiss the Remaining Counts. New York, Oct. 28.—The defense in the case of Charles W. Morse, finan- cier, and A. H. Curtis, former presi- dent of the National Bank of North America, who are on trial in the Unit- ed States court here, scored telling points. The presentation of evidence by the prosecution had been conclud- ed and the defense, before opening its case, had made motions to have quashed the indictment against thefr clients. These motions were denied, but after hearing arguments on mo- tions to strike out certain specific por- tions of the indictment Judge Hough ruled in favor of the defense. By his direction two counts of the indictment —one charging conspiracy and the other misappropriation—were stricken from the record. In dismissing the conspiracy charge Judge Hough said that, from the evidence which had been adduced, he could not see how the minds of the two defendants could act in concert. In view of the evi- dence, he said, he could not permit a verdict on the conspiracy count and therefore he directed that the conspi- racy charge be dismissed. - The count in the indictment charging misappro- priation in connection with a $60,000 note given in payment for stock pur- chased from Mr. Morse also was dis- missed by Judge Hough on the ground that there was no evidence of criminality. The part of the indict- ment which remains, and which Judge Hough refused to dismiss when appli- cation was made by counsel for Morse, alleges false reports, misapplication, over certification and the use of funds of depositors for speculative purposes. After Judge Hough had passed upon the motions to dismiss portions of the indictment Mr. Olcott began an ar- gument in behalf of Mr. Curtis. He contended that many of the counts in the indictment did not apply to Mr. Curtis at all, but his application to have them lifted from Mr. Curtis was denjed by the court. PAY BY SHORTEST ROUTE Pestoffice Departmant Adopts New Rule for ‘Carrying Mail. Chicago, Oct.'28.—A: million dollars a year in révenue will be lost to the railroads who are engaged in the transportation of United States mail as a result of a new order governing the methods of calculating the com- rensation to be paid the roads, which has just been issued by the postoffice art, second assistant postmaster gen- eral, has issued a notification to the New York Central and the Lake Shore roads that the rates for carrying the mails between Chicago and New York will hereafter be based upon the short line mileage between the cities. As the Take Shore-New York Central route is some thirty or forty miles longer than that of the Pennsylvania’s fastest trains, which run 905 miles, the compensation paid to the New York Central lines will be reduced $55,000 a year, or the contract for handling the mail will be turned over to the Pennsylvania. The latter now handles much of the mail from the South, while the Lake Shore gets that from Chicago and the North. The reduction applies over the four- year period for which the contract was made, and is retroactive from the date of the contract, July 1, 1907, so the loss to the roads will amount to $220,000. TO AVOID DISTURBANCES. Reception to American Fleet at Amoy an Exclusive Affair. Amoy, Oct. 28—As a precaution against any disturbance during tbe visit of the second squadron of the American battleship fleet invitations to Chinese for.the reception of the fleet have been limited in number to 400. Many foreigners of bad charac- ter are assembling here, but no for- eigner will be admitted to the grounds where the receptions are to he held without a pass from the consular rep- resentative of his country. Invitations to the Foochow students and naval cadets have been withdrawn. Death Roll Now Eight Hundred. Manila, Oct. 28.—Official dispatches received from the section visited by the typhoon and resultant floods that devastated Cagayan province recently place dhe death roll at 800 and the damage of property at $1,000,000 in gold. There were no reports of dam- age in Isbelle province. Mrs. Stevens Re-Elected. Denver, Oct. 28.—Mrs. Lilllan M. N, Stevens of Portland, Me., was unani- mously re-elected president of the Na- tional Women's Christian Temperance union. 5 DENIES RUMOR AS" FALSE Taft Replies"to Charge That He Is in Poor Health, dghkeepsie, N. Y., Oct. 28— Thi sunshine and showers, with srowds varying with the size of the towns, Judge Taft is campaigning up the Hudson. He has declared with smphasis that-he is in the best pos- sible phygical condition and has talked mostly, ;g the prosperity issue, the tion, the. tariff and kindred lent ‘expression of ¢onfidence 1n the Sutcome of the Vot- Ing. He aroused enthusiasm , wher- ever he stopped and his receptions have 'been marked' by. a spirit of friendliness and cordiality. ‘When Judge Taft reached the Grand Central statfon in New York he found & cheering crowd awaiting him. He acknowledged the compliment, but sould not respond with a speech be- tause of the noise. At Yonkers the candidate spoke to an audience in the lecal theater, going extremely into the campaign issues, after severely de- ouncing as false the rumor in New ork that he was in bad shape phys- fcally. The Yonkers meeting demon- etrated the interest in the candidate by its size and the large number who could not get into the hall. Roosevelt Fifty Years Old. Washington, Oct. 28.—President Roosevelt is fifty years of age. Con- gratulatory messages [d into the president’s office and at the White House all day. Many foreign rulers took advantage of the opportunity to send a message of warm friendship and good will through their diplomatic representatives, who oalled in person o present them to the president. GOETHALS EXONERATED.‘ Report of Inspector General in Pan- ama Canal Inquiry. ‘Washington, = Oct. 28.—Inspector General Garlington of the army, in a report just made public, exonerates Chairman Goethals of the Isthmian canal commission of the charges made by President Brothers of the Balanced Crane Cable company of New York, who claimed that unfair treatment was accorded him in the award for COLONEL GOETHALS. furnishing and erecting cable ways at Gatun, on the isthmus. General Gar- lington holds that there was no collu- sion, that the award was made in good faith and recommends that the contract with the Lidgerwood com- pany be proceeded with. The report Wwas approved by the secretary of war, The report says the device of the Brothers company was not suitable for work at the Gatun plant. INTENSE ACTIVITY IN NEW YORK STATE Political Speakers Hot on the Trail of Voters. New York, Oct. 28.—The political programme was one of intense activ- ity throughout New York city and state. Both presidential candidates are here, hurrying from point to point in the city and nearby towns. Mr. Taft started for the outlying suburbs early in the day, going first to Yon- kers and then to a series of cities and towns along the Hudson as far up as Troy. Mr. Bryan devoted himself to Greater New York, beginning at 3 a. m. in City Hall park, then, after a few hours sleep, addressing a Broad- ‘way mceting, then going to Brooklyn and Long Island City and later cross- ing to Jersey City. Both of the gubernatorial candi- dates also devoted their attention to New York city. Governor Hughes came down from Albany, speaking en route at Catskill and later he filled engagements here, at Long Island City and several suburban points. Mr. Chanler gave his attention to New York city and Brooklyn. TALKS TO NIGHT WORKERS Bryan Makes Speech at Three in the Morning. New York, Oct. 28.—For the first time in their history at such an hour the gray walls of the old city hall were lighted up by red fire at 3 o’clock in the morning when William J. Bry- en, bare headed and emiling, was in- twoduced from the steps of the build- ing to a big crowd of night workers gathered there to greet him and hear him speak on the issues of the cam- paisn. The crowd was composed prin- cipally of employes of the big news- paper offices on Park Row, the tele- graph offices and the general postoffice across the park, while here and there a yellow “duster” marked a listener from one of the big markets. where work does not cease with darkness. A brass band entertained the crowd with badly played patriotic airs until the arrival of Mr. Bryan and his party and a number of lesser lights in'the political field spoke briefly, but neither the interruptions nor the arrival or speech of Mr.. Bryan himself dis- turbed the regular patrons of the park benches, scores of whom slept on un- disturbed by the unusual activity in their out of doors sleeping places, Mr. Bryan was accompanied by Na- tional Chairman Norman E. Mack and by Mrs. Bryan and Mrs. Mack. Mr. et at the bottom of the Baking Powder Question. Buy a can of Calumet today. Put it through the most rigid baking test that you know.

Baking Powder SACRIFICES HER LIFE FOR OTHERS Tsnemdm Resident Carries Ex- ploding Stove to Street, New York, Oct. 28.—Mary Farrell,| a seamstress, is dying in Roosevelt hospital, having sacrificed her life in| a successful effort to save the lives of the scores of people who with her occupied a tenement house in West Forty-third street. While Miss Far- rell, who lived alone on the top floor of the building, was preparing a meal an ofl stove on which she was cooking exploded. Fearing the house would catch fire from the burning Stove Miss Farrell seized it in her arms and hur- ried down the front stairs of the build- ing, crying out to the occupants of the | other rooms to close their doors and | glve her and her blazing burden a! clear passageway. Although her light | dress caught fire and the flames eat their way into her flesh she did not hesitate. But at the bottom of the second flight of stairs her foot caught In her skirt and she fell on the top of her fiery burden. She was dragged away from the burning stove, but it was too late, for the hospital surgeon who responded to a call pronounced her injuries fatal. Firemen extin- guished the fire after small damage had been done the house. ‘U'he revival of Dusiness 1s quickened | as the conviction grows that the elec- tion of Taft and Sherman is assured. 1 = | Certificate of Incorporation o Blakely Lumber Company.
