MCOEE IN Est EENfEii.

Tie school election Saturday
evening brought forth a surprise
at the last moment, Mr.. Fraser,
Of Fa.}a!, Withdrawing from the
race Saturday morning, leaving
Mr.. Griggs the only known can.
didatc unttl about 800 p. u..
when W. J. Moore SHE'D his cas-
tor into the ring,
This laid tho fight between
TWO Virginians, but the contest
was not lacking in interest on
that account. A free special
train and free livery r'gs and
busses were open 70 comcrs. and
not less than 225 to 250 Of the
votes cast were Of Virginians, ann
the result was somewhat surpris-
ing, showing total vote Of 225
for Mr.. Moore as against % for
Mr.. Griggs.
= The meeting organized by the
election of Judge Prince as mod
orator, who appointed Messrs. NJ.
L. Fey and P. e. Dowliny as
judges and J. G.. Poole and w.
E. Hannaford as clerks Of elec =
ton.
The clerks annual statement
was read and accepted and the
publication of the minutes Of the
board in the Enterprise, Virgin
ia1 and the Star for the ensuing
year authorized.
The only ripple of cxc,temep t
for the evening was caused by a
resolution introduced by Mr..
Fay that the board be auth horized
to obtain gal assistance to pro-
secute the illegal voters at the
school election, and if necessary
to expend $1,000. in such cause
The resolution was clearly voted
down by ayes and hayes, but was
decided in favor of the ayes by
Moderator Prince, who was at
once the objects Of varied re-
m 2rks of a personal nature. The
moderator finally called for a d.
vision of the house, when the mo,
tion was declared lost.
From one who voted against
the proposition we learn it was
voted down on the grounds that
anyone knowing of illegal voting
had a perfect right to enter com.
plant to the prosecuting attor
ney, thereby avoiding expense
to the school district.
The meeting was the best at
tended annual meeting ever held
IN the district, the interest doubt
less being augmented to a great
extent by the erstwhile candida
cy of Fayal man. Fully thirty
ladies from the city were among
those present and voting.

a road when ten times the a.
MOUNTS needed-a road which
will never be properly improved
as long as ST, Louis county re
mains intact.
There is also q $500 donation
for a road at Hibbing which we
might suggest Nc should go af-
ter, believing that the generosi

give the sum to anyone or any
thing--even to campaign fund
for the election of a commission

c. IS. Reeves, secretary of the
Virginia Cycle Club, Wednesday
received a letter from Mr.. G.. S.
Raper, chairman of the railroad
picnic excursion, stating that
Mr.. Best and himself would be
here next Wednesday, to look
over Virginia as the proposed
place of holding the annual pic

It is now time for our business
men to get together and work in
harmony for the securing of this
excursion. A committee should
be delegated to Wait upon these
delegates while here, and others
should at once find what financial
support is obtainable.
All things come to those who
wait, but the life Of man is TOO
short for much to come without
hustling.

WITHOUT sHUFFL1HG OR EVASION

From Fenimore Cooper and other au- thorities we have gained the impression that the Indian is 8 stolid, severe individ- ual, with no sense of the white mans humor, but one red brother showed him. self quite civilized joker, the other day, in the United States court. He was on the stand in hotly contested case, and Attorney D. R. Bailey of Sioux Falls was after him in the most approved fashion Iof croas-examination. Finally, after apparently frightening the Indian with the awful consequences which would follow the slightest deviation from the truth, MT Bailey took his most porten. tous tone and solemn manner and de- handed:
 "Now, sir, want you to tell me the exact truth, without any shuffling ol evasion. want you to look me square in the eye and tell me how you get you living, sir."

RoTHsCHILD POSING AS A BEGGAR,

One of the closest friends of Baron Rothschild of Paris, was Carolus-Duran, the artist. During the entire course of 8 certain large dinner party the great finan- cier noted that the painter kept To king at hin with most intent and peculiar ex- the Baron drew his friend aside and said My dear fellow, pray tell me why you have stared at me so peculiarly this even ing?
 "Pll tell you with pleasure" answered Duran; "I am painting beggar for the Salon, and had looked all over Paris for suitable head to draw from. I've fl. nally found it. Yours is the ideal" Rothschild laughed heartily, and pro. missed to sit for his friend in suitable at tire on the following day.
 During the progress of the sitting 6 young artist, one of Duran's pupils, came into the room. Naturally he had not been in a position to meet people O. Baron R )thschild's importance, and SC did not know him; but the beggar't miserable rags, wan face, and wistful ex pression appealed deeply to the young mans sympsthies. Waiting until hi' master was busy mixing colors, the pu pill took franc from his vest pocket ant held it out behind his back GO the model who seized it with feigned avidity.
 When the sitting was over Rothschilt made inquiries of Duran concerning tn philanthropist, and was informed that h was 8 student of great promise and at tainments, but among the poorest of tn inhabitants of the Latin Quarter.
 Some six months after this occurrenc the young man received note whicl ran about as follows:

we must inter that His spiritual king dom is the same, always, and in every place, whether on earth, in paradise or in heaven. "Jesus Christ, the same yester- day, to-day, and forever" is our divine example aud our only hope; and we are to be with Him, and to be like Him, and to see Him as He is; and we are assured that the future life Is the eternal life be- gun here and continued and perfected there. The Lord has given every assur- ance of eternal life if we truly believe Tn Him. "If man keep my word, he shall never die." And l will raise him up at the last day" And, go sure as we have the eternal life in us here we shall continue in that same spiritual life in the spiritual world. For the life be- yond grows out of and depends upon the life begun here. We are to be judged by "the deeds done in the body" "He that overc ometh shall inherit these things (the things of the eternal world) and will be his God and he shall be my son." And as the poet sings:
 "I0o l1IS ADDNb Wnon LL1S 4B pnSbs
 Is the ripe fruit of lie below"
 And so from the beginning to the end of the Holy Word, the divine revelation of life leads us onward and upward to the perfection and fu1fllment of all the God-given possibilities of our nature. The universe Is one, as God the Creator is one. Therefore the soul of man through faith, hope and love shall be at home wherever the Heavenly Father reigns. The kingdom of eternal truth and holy love is one and the same wherever the soul abiGies in Christ, the Lord. At best we are but soiourners here. We are on our way to better country. The promised land of the eternal world is ever before us. We are in one grand pro- cession pressing ever forward toward
 THE HOLY CITY OF THE SPIRITUAL LIFE | Let us think of the countless multi tudes that have gone on before us!
