WHERE WILD FOWL CONGREGATE

Many of the lakes in central-northern
Minnesota are great resorts for wild fowl.
Some of these bodies of water, during the
hunting season. are so covered with ducks
and geese that pot hunters slaughter them
by the score by means of a few old-fash-
toned discharges from smooth-bore, muzzle-
loading guns of large caliber. Such meth
DDS are unsportsmanlike and illegal, but
there are some sections of the state where
1t is almost impossible for game wardens
to maintain effective supervision.

]. Card to Our Congregations.

As pastors of churches we appeal TO
our membership to sustain the in
structive, impressive and interesting
services being daily held at 3 p. m. In
the Baptist church. Not only are the
evening meetings, held at the Univer-
sity Hall full Of religious inspiration,
ana worthy of the steadfast prayers
for, and attendance of our congrega-
tions; but the afternoon, down town,
conferences are convenient to many
who cannot be on the college grounds
at night. AS your pastors we will re-
gard it as favor done to us If our
parishioners will make heroic efforts
to be present at the afternoon bible
readings. Brother Schoolfield is an
earnest and profoundly consecrated
man of God. with a long and sue
cessfui experience in revival work,
there is no good reason why Morgan
town may not be favored with an ex-
tensive and blessed baptism OF the
Holy Spirit. Let US not only pray for
all of these services, but let us attend
them regularly and prayerfully, when
we can create opportunities. Let all
come. |. A. BARNES,

EYangelistie Meetings

The attendance at the evangelist
ic service last night was much
larger than it was Monday night;
and the interest IN the meetings is
deepening,
The gospel as preached by Mr..
Schoolfield is like the Xrays, it re
veals the hidden things of the heart.
He spoke last night about the con-
versation between the Savior and
Nicodemus, and showed that, while
he was a member Of the church, and
a good fellow, he had never been born
again-there are many such in the
church.
The afternoon meeting at the Bap-

The University.

The state university receives nearly
5000, 900 for it's maintenance for the
next two years. OF this large sum
about $75, 900 will be expended in sal
aries and the remainder will be devot-
ed to Improvements, the requirement
OF new ground, the erection of new
buildings, and the addition of equip
ment needed in various departments.
This handsome appropriation is an
evidence that the work that is being
done by the university is beginning to
be felt and appreciated in every sec
ton. A few years ago, it would have
been impossible to have secured from
the most friendly legislature, a sum
one-half or quarter as large as will
be expended by the university for i'm

Delegate Grant has been at home

ing things about the session and the
fun TO be had by the members as we'll
as the endless work and worry 1T
meant TO do one full duty to his
county and to the state.
Among the things in which Nor
gantown was interested was the report
of the constitutional revision commit
tee. This report was accepted by the
senate and sent TO the house. Here
a muss arose and a special conference
committee OF fifteen was appointed to
go over the report. They mutilated
it so that nothing could be done maxi

been.

the DEMOCRATIC POLICY.
1t il formulated at caucas OF the
lower House Of Congress-So per-
manent acquisition Of the Philip
Mines

manent acquisition Of the Phillip
pines.
WASHINGTON, March AT a eau
Gus OF the Democratic members of the
House of Representatives held in the
hall of the House the following declar-
alton of policy and resolutions as to
the Philippines were adopted:
We hold that the constitution of
the United States was ordained and
established for an intelligent, liberty
loving and self-goyerning people, and
cannot be successfully applied TO a
people of different virtues and condi-
tions. We therefore hold that a coll
onial policy is contrary To the theory
of our Government and subyersive of
those great principles OF civil liberty
which we have been taught 10 cherish.
We believe with the Declaration OF
Independence, thai all governments
derive their just powers from the con-
sent of the governed. aud we are I'M
alterably opposed TO the establishment
of any government by the United
States without the consentof the peo-
pie to be governed: and ia conformity
with these principles we instruct the
minority members of the Foreign AZ
fairs Committee to introduce and urge
the following resolutions:
Resolved, That the United States
hereby disclaims any disposition or in
tention to exercise permanent sover-
eighty, Jurisdiction or control over the
Philippine Islands, and assert its de-
termination, when an independent
government shall have been erected
therein, 10 transfer to said Govern
ment, upon terms which shall be reas-
enable and just, all rights secured
under the cession by Spain, and there
upon to leave the governmentand con.
troll of the islands to their people.
Another resolution by Mr.. Griggs,
Georgia, was adopted, which, though
deploring the Administrations policy
eommends the yalor of soldiers and
sailors.

A NEW DEPARTURE.
Mr.. and Mrs. Rase take charge as
House-keepers at Episcopal Hall
Warden Relieved OF this Responsible

Now that MIR. Winecoff has sue
ceeded in putting the Episcopal Hall
on a self-supporting basis be and the
Bishop have made new departure
in the management Of the Hall, Mr.
and Mrs. G. G. Rose have been put in
charge of the boarding and house
keeping side OF the Hall. while Mr..
Winecoff retains full charge and au-
thority as Warden While retain
ing the same control over the be-
havior admission, and dis,nission Of
students rooming there, Mr.. and
Mrs. Wincoff will thus be relieved
of the care and responsibility of the
boarding and housekeeping, aud left
free accomplish more of the higher
and main purpose OF the Hal, the
making Of a home for the students.
This use OF two officers, Warden
and Steward, is the original and
ideal place tor such a Hall, but ma
turally it could not well be done till
the Hallwas first made self-support-
ing. The logical result of the new
arrangement will be to make the
Hall still more efficient.
The other denominations who are
contemplating the establishment Of
Hall of their own will be interest
ed to note the success of such an
institution rnder an efficient man
agement.

Number of New Buildings Under Way
Wood Block and ssescipie Church The
Most Important Others Being Built
Still Others Projected Several
Stables Over Town are Torn Down
or Remodelled-F Favorable Out Look
For Building Room Of Some Magni-
tude.
Building operations have been
rather quiet about Morgantown on ac-
count Of the weather for several months
but there is a good time coming. Al
ready many buildings have been be-
gun and others are projected so that
in few months we will again be in
the midst OF building boom of no
little magnitude.
Work has already begun on several
of these buildings and they will be
completed as fast as the weather will
permit. Among the most important
that are being constructed is the Wood
building on Walnut street This is
to be two stories high and built of
brick. The upper floor will be SO con-
nected with the lower by means OF a
stairway in the center it will be al
most as convenient as If 1T were all
on the same level and the resultant
floor space will be the largesti in town.
This will be occupied as soon as COM
pleted.
The Disciples church is going up
rapidly under the direction of Con-
tractor Jos. j. Wharton. The frame
work is up and the rest of the building
will follow at once. The church is
on Spruce street on the rear of the lot
owned formerly by George c. Steele.
The church will be completed in time
for use this coming summer early in
the season as the congregation is very
anxious to get into it.
The wing on the north of the Uni
versity building will also be completed
in the near future.
Among the dwelling houses under
construction is one for Mrs. John on
Sunnyside and another in the same
part of town for Mrs. Sadie Houston.
Both of these are well advanced and
they will be completed as fast as may
be.
Fenton Rice is remodelling one Of
the stables on Bumbo Lane in rear of
his residence into two story residence
and the other stable belonging to
George Hayes on the same street is
being torn down.
The old postof1ice is nearly re-
modelled into modern business house
and it will be occupied by Conway
& Hibbs in very short time.
Among the other buildings project
eel and which are to be built soon is a
block on Peasants street opposite the
NEW DOMINION office. This block
has not been finally decided upon but
it will probably have double store
room below. be three stories high and Of
brick. The upper floor will be rented
for office rooms.
Other buildings which will go up
soon are the Library and Museum at
the University costing forty thousand
and the Armory to cost ten thousand
Taking it as whole there is no sign
of a very great let up in the building
to be done here but on the contrary the
out look is very satisfactory one.
