At JERUSALEM IN 1904
WORLDS $. 8. CONVENTION
Minneapolis May May Get 1905 Con-
ventiOn-COnventiOn This
Year in Denver.

Year in Denver.
Rev. DR.. George r. Merrill, member
of the International Sunday School con-
vention program committee, has just re-
turned from a meeting at Chicago. He
reports an attractive program for the
Denver. convention opening June rs. The
foremost Sunday school workers from the
United States and Canada will speak. The
program is in a formative stage, and Will
not be made public until next month.
The railroads have granted rate Of
one fare plus 81. 1t is expected that 10000
delegates from the United States and
Canada will attend. The delegates are
appointed by the state conventions and
are double the congressional delegation
in number. Already special trains from
Boston, Philadelphia, Chicago and ST..
Louis have been arranged for.
The convention is .triennial, and If the
St. Louis exposition is not postponed
until 1905, Minneapolis can probably have
the next meeting if the proper steps are
taken The Commercial Clubs attention
has been called to the matter
DR.. Merrill states that the Denver con-
vention ll'appoint lesson committee
to arrange the International course for
the nexts six years. The present schedule
will run two years, which will allow the
new committee twelve months to settle
ing features of the Denver meetings will
be the discussion of lesson systems and
of the prospect Of improving upon the
present scheme.
At the Chicago meeting just closed a
suggestion was made that the next world s
convention be held in Jerusalem. This
met with immediate approval, and cor
respondence will be entered upon with
English workers and the proper persons
in Jerusalem. DR.. Merrill believes that
no proposition would excite more enthu-
siasm through the Christian world than
the proposal to hold Sunday school con-
yention at Jerusalem in 1904.
It is not likely that distance will inter-
fere much with the attendance. The
American delegation, probably numbering
600. would charter steamer, and both
England and Germany would send many
representatives. It is believed the con
vention should number at least 5000 dele
gates.

IT'S CAMPAIGN YEAR.
County Commissioners Are Being
Good to County Employees.
THE PAYROLL BOOSTED $4,000
but No More Money Was
AyaiIable.

Many salaries were raised by the coun-s
ty commissioners yesterday, the aggre-s
gate increase amounting to about $4,000,
all that was at the disposal of The county
commissioners. The larger part Of the
increase goes to the janitors, elevator
men, fremen and the poorer paid clerks
In many cases the raises We're made at
the request Of the heads of the respective
offices, and in some cases through the
representations of the beneficiaries them
selves. The increase in the salary OF
commissioners clerk was made by the
board in order to retain A. P. Erickson,
who was about to enter private business.
The monthly salary list for 1902 is given

given by any one child to 10 cents. This
is done so that no child may be embar-
raised by not being able to contribute as
much as some Of its classmates.
Neither Minneapolis nor St. Paul have
contributed as the committee feels they
should to the memorial fund.- The records
Of the committee show that Duluth alone
has raised more money than both the
twins put together. Returns from num-
Der of the outside counties have been most
satisfactory.

Presents County Physician Bill for

County Physician Kistler was nearly taken
off his feet this morning by the receipt of
bill from the town of Hassan for qaurantining
a diptheria patient The town authorities had
employed a guard at s1.2o per day, and had
paid $4,000 for fumigating and presented a
bill of $52. Or. Kistler says that he never
heard of guards for diptheria cases. AS for
the fumigation he says that he can do it
anywhere in the county for 81 in the most
approved manner, while he doubts very much
if there are any modern means of fumigating
in Hassan.
