If you would increase yOGr happiness and prolong your life, says an ex- change. forget your neighbours faults. Forget the temptations. Forget the fault-fnding and give little thought to the cause which provoked it. Forget the peculiarities of your friends. and only remember the good points which makes you fond of them. Forget all personal quarrels and histories you may have heard by accident and which if repeated would seem thousand times worse than they are. Blot out as far as possible all the disagreeabe- ness of life: they will come but they will grow larger when you remember them and the constant thought of acts of meann ss, or worse still, malice, will only tend to make you more familiar with them. Obliterate everything \diSagreeabe from yesterday: start out with clean sheet to-day and write upon it. for sweet memory's sake, only those things which are lovely and '"ve"bIe. ---

grim Baptist church was formally OBJ
served yesterday afternoon by all the
members Of the congregation and many
visitors from this city and Minneapolis
interested in the Christian work Of the
church
Rev. w. ID. Garter pastor, presided
over the service. which consisted of the
sermon, history of the church and
several selections by the choir
Inc sermon was short, brief and to the
POINT. The pastor reviewed the good
work accomplished by the church, say
ing that, considering the obstacles placed
IN the path of those having the welfare
OF the church most at heart, the record
established was q praiseworthy one.
re alluded to the Sabbath schools, the
foreign and home missions, the literary
societies, the Baptist Young Peoples
union the Christian Epdeavor workers,
and others within the pale of the church,
ana said that he hoped their good work
would continue. He knew that If they
worked in the future as in the past they
would continue to go along the success
tul path they had been pursuing. He
said they were all grand agencies,
blessed of God, and were for the mental
and moral development Of the Pilgrims.
Following the sermon came prayer and
then the choir sang. The history of the
church, read by one of the deacons, was
a brief synopsis of facts and dates
Though the church was first organized
in 1870, its history begins at a period
seven years earlier. This was the time
of real struggles, real sacrifices, real
faith. The first mission work was be-
gun by the Rev. R. Hickman. OF this
early period there probably remain only
five or six survivors.
The small but determined band of
workers experienced severe trials in
their efforts to maintain their existence
as society, until the time Of incorpora-
ton as a church in 1870.
Their first purchase of ground on

LAKE ELMO PEOPLE EXCITED
OVER TIE SCHMIDT
TRAGEDY '"~ =.
SUICIDE THEORY IS DOUBTED
The Revolver ia His Hand Has Been
identified as I, Stale weapon
-Investigation Is Be-
Enandcd.


Since the finding of the body of Solo
mon Schmidt in a small shanty on a
farm near Lake Elmo Saturday morn
ing, considerable excitement has pre-
vailed in the village and farming COM
munity in that vicinity, and the gem
eral impression is that it is a case Of
murder and not suicide.
The postmaster at Lake Elmo stated
yesterday that the villagers would de-
mand a thorough investigation of the
affair. The@claim is. made that Schmidt
had some money and that he was muir
dered by parties whe,sought to cover up
all evidence of their deed by placing a
revolver in the N-tteSd 'nr1n s. hand
The revolver has been identified as hav-
ing been stolen from Louis Lohmann's
store last, week. ~ Another indication of
the imprObabiity of the suicide theory
is that the pistol was found in Schmidt's
left hand and he was shot in the left
temple, while Schmidt was known to be
right-handed.
Coroner Frebfgh, when seen here last
evening, stated that in his opinion the
man had undoubtedly committed suicide.
The Villagers however, are averse to ac-
cepting this view, until it may be con-
frmed by thorough investigation.
