Looking for the Body.

1t is still supposed that Peter
Olson, the Brainerd machinist VIII"
disappeared from his home on Satur-
day last, committed suicide by
drowning in the Mississippi river at
that place, and u search is being
made for his body. R. H. Paine
was in the city Friday for the
purpose of seeing men employed on
the booms regarding searching for
the body. Olson leaves a wife and
two children, and was member Of
the United Workmen. His hat was
found near the wagon bridge at
Brainerd, and the people of that city
are certain that his body is in the
river. Some have a suspicion that
he was fou]ly dealt with, as several
men have been assaulted by tOughs
there during the past week. Parties
are searching the river below
Brainerd.

the diocese under the state laws.
The incorporation of all parishes

blanks and steps will at once be ta-
ken tor the Incorporation OF the va
rious parishes. The change is quite
important as under the new ar
rangement the church property OF
each parish will be placed in the
hands of the congrega ton. Hereto
fore and at the present time all the
church property within the diocese
ia in the name of the Bishop. AS
soon rs the articles of incorporation
have been recorded the transfer will
be made.
Financial and other matters were
also discussed at the conference and
the Bishop will issue DEGREES upon
the more important matters from
time to time. The conference ad-
journed to meet again in three
months. Among those present
were:

man; Rev. Arthur Lamothe and Rev.
