Professor Quigley of ‘‘College ot Edu- cation,” University of Minnesota, Visited Here Yesterday. Professor Quigley, who is in charge of the “College of Education” at the University of Minnesota, was in Bemidji yesterday and while he was here paid a visit to Bemidji’s|. three school buildings. Professor Quigley inspected the work being done at the three schools and commented very freely on the manner in which the schools were being conducted. “You certainly have a fine school system, here in Bemidii,” said Mr. Quigley, “and you are to be con- gratulated on the excellence of your corps of instructors. “Professor Ritchie appears to be the ‘right man in the right place,’ and you are indeed fortunate in having his services. “Thereis a most excellent spirit 1n the schools. All of the teachers, from Professor Ritchie to the hum- lest instructor, are imbued with enthusiasm in perfecting the system here, and Bemidji is certainly well to the front in educational matters and her schools are thoroughly up- to-date, with modern buildings of sufficient capacity to properly care for an increasing school population.” Professor Quigley was formerly connected with the Moorhead Nor- mal school, and asked as to what he thought of the proposed new sixth normal school, Mr. Quigley sald “I think Bemidji is certainly the proper place for the location of a sixth normal school, should one be established. You are centrally lo- cated and, judging from what I have seen today, you have every facility here for furnishing a modern school and fulfilling other require- ments. Committed to the Asylum. Mrs. O. B. Olson, wife of a prominent merchant at Kelliher, was yesterday afternoon adjudged insane and committed to the bospital at Fergus Falls. Mrs. Olson has been an inmate of the Fergus Falls hospital on a former occasion and it is a matter of doubt if she was ever really cured, after being released on parole and finally discharged. She was committed from this county on August 19, 1908, and at that time she was so violent that it was neccessary to bind her to a cot and the insanity board was compelled to hold the examination of the patient at the local hospital Mrs. Olson was confined to the hospital until December 22, I908, when she was released on parole and taken to her home at Kelliher. On July 12 of this year Mrs. Olson was discharged as cured and her condition was very good until about a week ago, when she began exhibiting signs that her mind was deranged and she was very violent in some of her actions. Mrs. Olson’s condition became so alarming that she was brought to Bemidji yesterday and the insanity board, consisting of Drs. Henderson and Ward and Judge of Probate Clark, gave her a hearing with the result that she was adjudged insane and ordered taken to Fergus Falls. Deputy Sheriff Andrew Johnson and Mrs. A. B. Hazen, wife of Sherift Hazen, took Mrs. Olson to Fergus Falls this afternoon. Register of Deeds J. O. Harris returned to the city this morning from Minneapolis, where he spent “a couple of days” on business. E. A. Barker Goes to Twin Cities for Holiday Goods. E. A. Barker, the local jeweler and druggist, has gone to the twin cities, where he will spend several days looking over the wholesale houses, before purchasing his stock of Christmas goods and new lines of jewelry and drugs for his regular trade. The Barker Drug Store has always carried a thoroughly up-to-date stock of holiday goods—the ~very best that the market affords—and Mr. Barker desired to be on the ground and personally inspect the stocks which are being displayed down at St. Paul and Minneapolis. It isthe intention of Mr. Barker to again carry a full line of the new designs in jewelry, cut glass, ect., as well as precious stones and fancy articles, -and the stock will begin to arrive in a few days and augment the fine selection of goods which are already carried. BEMIDJI'S GREATEST FASHION DISPLAY AUTOMOBILE GARAGE IS NOW READY FOR PUBLIC John-Moberg Gives to Bemidji the First Auto “‘Stable” in-This Section. Bemidji now has an up-to-date automobilé garage which is p}abably the only building used exclusively for the north-central Minnésota. i The - building' is owned by John Moberg, who constructed the same at a cost of about $5,000. The building is located on Lots 21 and 22, Block 12, and is a splendid structure. X The building is one story high and has a frontage of fifty feet, being constructed entirely of solid brick “housing” of automobiles in and there is a concrete floof 'of great thiclfiness, capable of holding a great weight. & The front is of pressed brick with stone trimmings, finished in an up-to- date manner, with large plate glass windows that give plenty of light in the interior. The whole of the interior will be used asa garage with the exception of a small office ou the north side of the building. Local owners of autos are greatly pleased with the garage and' no doubt it will prove a big success. Baby at Botting’s. A son was born to Mr. and Mrs. H. P. Botting,* this morning, and H.

BIG BUNCH OF NORTH WOO0D HUNTERS IN FOR BIG GAME Open Season Began Yesterday.—Some Changes Made in Dates of Open Season for Killing Game Birds.—Deer Season Unchanged. The season of big game hunting opened yesterday and it is more than likely that there are more bunters in the woods of nortbern Minnesota this fall than any pre- vious season since the game laws became rather stringent. The weather 1n the morning of the first day was damp and while disagreeable was better than' in the afternoon, when the sun came out and dried up the leaves so that Style Makers and Quality Sellers T.

The trains in all directions from Bemidji for several days prior to yesterday were crowded with hunters, many going far north from here, others going towards Bagley while still more went in the direction of Grand Rapids. The following is a summary of provision of the game laws: ITIS UNLAWFUL— To kill harmless birds. To hunt deer with dogs. To place or receive game in cold storage. To hunt on land of another with- out permission. To wantonly waste or destroy game birds, animals or fish. To retain game more than five days after close of season unless tagged by Commission. To hunt or carry firearms in state parks or forest reserves, or to hunt in National forests. To use traps, snares, artificial lights, nets, bird line or set guns, to kill game animals or birds. To serve bass, wild trout (except lake trout) or any kind of game in hotels or restaurants. To kill any game birds or animals in any other way than by shooting them with a gun held to the shoulder. To use the huntirg license of another person— minimum penalty $50.00—or to use another’s shipping coupon. To use sink boats, motor boats, launches, sail boats, floating bat- teries, sunken boxes, tubs or floating blinds when shooting or to hunt or shoot between dark and daylight. The last legislature made a slight amendment to the game laws in changing the length of time for the open season for killing some of the game birds. Under the new law any turtle dove, snipe, prairie chicken, pinnetted. white-breasted or sharp- tailed grouse, woodcock, upland plover and golden plover may be killed between September 7 and November 7, this being a change of the former season from September 1 to November 1. The open season for quail, part- ridge, rough grouse or pheasant, other than Mongolian, Chinese, ring-tailed or English, is October 1 to December 1, being the same as Jast year. The open season for will duck, wild goose of any variety, brant or any other aquatic fowl, is from September 7 to December 7, being a change of seven days later in both opening and closing of the season. Shortage of Logs at the Mills. The sawmill plants of the Crook- ston Lumber company and the Be- midji Lumber company have been running on about half-day time, of late, because of the inability to get logs to the mill over the different railroads, more especially the M. &. I. Both companies have logs ‘“‘up north,” but it seems next to im- possible to have the timber hauled to Bemidji to be sawed, because of the heavy traffic on the M. & I, and probably both mills will shut down in a very few days, whether weather conditions interfere or not. Splendid Meetings at Maltby. Rev. H. R. McKee, pastor of the local Baptist church, returned last evening from Maltby, where he and Rev. C. L. Kingsbury of Park Rapids, colporteur of the Baptist church for this district, have been conducting meetings, at the Maltby Woodmen hall. Rev. McKee re- ports splendid meetings, with large attendance and much interest. Rev. Kingsbury will speak at the regular weekly prayer meeting to be held at the Bemidji Baptist church this evening.
