The leg was amputated and every- | thing possible done to save the life of McCarthy, but the shock of the accident and loss of blood sapped away his strength. Before dying McCarthy said that his mother is a resident of Duluth and gave an address. The police department has been in communica- tion with Duluth authorities, but all efforts to locate relatives have so far failed. McCarthy claimed that he was on his way to Deer River where he had obtained employment, and the belief is that he had boarded the freight, which was switching, believ- ing that it was pulling out of the city. He had been in Bemidji but one day, coming from Grand Forks. The body is being held at the Huff- man & O’Leary undertaking rooms. He was about 36 years old. FIRST SESSION IN MONTH.

Every session of the four-day Con- ference of Charities and Correction is ‘being well attended, limited only to the capacity of the City hall, and an eager interest to hear all that is said by every speaker prevails. Each meeting is an education and an in- spiration to all who are fortunate enough to gain admission. Backus Opens Meeting. The opening session Saturday 2ven- ing emphasized the purpose of the conference and presaged the success that is attending every subsequent session. After appropriate intro- ductory remarks by G. D. Backus, president of the Bemidji Associated Charities, an invocation by Rev. S. B. P. White, and an address of cor- dial welcome by William MecCuaig, mayor, to which response was made by G. A. Franklin, superintendent of schools at Fergus Falls, Adolph O. Bberhart, governor of Minnesota, was introduced. The Governor Talks. Governor Eberhart was at his best and made a speech bristling with ¥ | pertinent facts, replete with good re- commendations, and forceful in its ippeal for needed reforms. He paid high tribute to those in charge cf the different charitable and correc- tional institutions of the state and claimed for Minnesota the credit for greater attainment along these lines than any other eight or ten states combined. He referred to the pub- licity throughout the Union that has been given Minnesota and vigorously justified the course taken by the chief executive and other state offi- cers in personally investigating con- ditions in other states.and.in carry- ing the message of Minnesota to the people everywhere. Should Pay a Part. Among the governor’s recommen- dations was that of requiring those who are financially able to do so, to pay the state, at least in part, for the care of their insane relatives who are patients in the state institu- tions. Rings With Good Ideas. Charles E. Vasaly, chairman of the state board of control, and president of the Ccnference of Charities and Correction, made an address ringing with good ideas and strong in fts fer- vent appeal for general effort to and in the protection and reformation of humanity. His condemnation of sa- loons, low dance halls and rotten tenement districts was emphatic. Miss Margaret Newton, supervisor of music in the Bemidji public schools, sang several selections at the meeting. IS HOLY JEWISH HOLIDAY. Yom Kippur, Day of Atonement, to Be Observed Wednesday., Yom Kippur, or the Day of Atone- inent, the holiest of all the Jewish holidays, falls on Sept. 30 this year and it will be observed by Jews of Bemidji.- The purpose of the Day of Atonement is indicated by its name. It is intended to complete and crown the work of the penitential seasonm, begun on the first of Tishri (New Year), by finally reconciling the soul with the Almighty. Implicitly trust- ing in the Divine forgiveness, the Israelite believes that his contrition, if it be really sincere, will atone for him, will make him “at one” once more with his Heavenly Father. The day, then, is devoted to a supreme ef- fort of penitence, to a mighty en- deavor after communion with the Al- mighty. It is spent in prayer and meditation. : ELLETSON OPERATED UPON.
