 With Sermon by MT. Moore.


 The annual meeting of the Montgom cry District Womans Foreign Mission ary Auxiliaries of the Methodist Church, which began at s o'clock lait night at the Dexter Avenue Church. was inaugurated with an excellent ser mon by Rev. B. L. Moore, pastor of the Perry Street Methodist, which was lis tened to with evident interest by the ladies who attended the meeting.
 MT. Moore chose as the topic for his address the work that is being done by the women of the churches in their missionary societies and of the benefit that both the women and those whom they reach receive.
 Eternal happiness. he said, was the result of a life of service dedicated to God, and that it should be the reward of the Christian women who gave their hearts work in gathering souls to Christ. The chief end of life was to glorify God and in doing this Chris tian work, he said, these women were carrying out this idea in an admirable way It would be hard to estimate the great value of the work accomplished in rec slt years AD Christianity and en- oouragement was being added all the time for renewed efforts along the line of work.
 In closing. he asked God to bless the present meeting of the Woman's For eign Missionary Auxiliaries and to crown their future efforts with the sue cess they deserved.
 The business session of the meeting will commence at g o'clock this morn ing at the Dexter Avenue Methodist Church. and will be divided into morning and afternoon session, which will begin at { o'clock.

Advertiser Bureau,


 At an early hour this morning Mar garet Osborne. a woman residing in the restricted district, committed sui eide by taking carbolic acid. It Is said that she had threatened to take her life on see eral occasions and last night she had a dispute with a man who has been paying considerable attention to her of late.
 She again threatened to take her life but those in the room at the time laughed at her. She retired to her room and within a short time other inmates of the house hearing her groans went to the room and found an empty carbolic acid bottle at her side. physician was called in but the unfortunate woman expired e few minutes after he arrived.
 The Osborne woman was about p years old and came to Selma last win- ter as a member of ''The Runaway Girl" theatrical troupe, She is said to come from a respectable family in Miss, and her remains will be sent to that place for interment on the afternoon train.

SUBSCRIPTION SIS PER YEAR
Mr.. Dunn's Strength.

There are few papers in the
state who are trying to make it
appear that there is wide disaf-
lection in the republican ranks.
AS a matter of fact the republi-
cans of the state are remarkably
united considering the bitter
fight which proceeded the re-
publican state convention.
There are disgruntled repu bli-
cans here and there who will
vote for Johnson because they
could not succeed in nominating
Judge Collins, but their mum Der
will be offset a hundred times by
the democrats who will vote for
Dunn. AS an evidence of the
sentiment prevailing throughout
the state, take the following from
the Redwood Falls Gazette:
Mower county sent ups
delegation for Hon. Loren w.
Collins for governor at the
last Republican state con-
.vention. Today there is not
a more enthusiastic bunch of
Repu blicans in the state for
R. G. Dunn and the remain
der of the ticket than are
those same Mower county
Republicans.
Similar utterances are coming
from loyal Republican all over
the state. Mr.. Dunn's pre- emf
nent ability to fill the office of
governor with honor to himself
and profit to the people of Min
nesota is everywhere recognized
and his majority Novem Der 9th,
will be far above the normal Re
publican majority in this state.

Why?

Why should single voter in
Beltrami or Clearwater counties
vote for man who lives in Red
Lake county as against a man
who lives in Clearwater county
in choosing a represeu tative for
the legislature this winter?
The interests of Beltrami and
earwatercoun are identi-
cal. The two counties are peac
tically one and it would be as
reasonable to vote for represen-
tative living in Red Lake county
as it would be for the people of
the Ninth congressional district
to vote for a representative in
congress living in the Eighth
district. There is no law against
doing either except the law of
common sense.
In DR.. l.. l.. Maryland, we of
Beltrami and Clearwater coun-
ties have candidate for the
legislature living right among
us, His interests are our inter-
ests. Why should we vote for a
man living a hundred miles from
US in a county whose interests
are very largely different from
ours?

In economy and efficiency Of
administration the board of con-
troll has proved it's worth and we
believe that the board is now
firmly fixed as one of Minnesota s
institutions. The putting of in
stitutions under. the control of
the board however is entirely
foreign to the plan as at first
conceived and is roundly con-
demmed by all educators and
by all disinterested parties gen
orally. It is but rational that
theiuniversity and normalschools.
being institutions entirely differ
ent in purpose and character,
from the state penitentiary, the
relOfmaJOfy eGc., should be man
aged by separate board. The
board of control plan was first
proposed by Mr.. Dunn, the edu-
cational institutions not being in
Guided; the obnoxious amend
nent, placing the educational in
situations within the authority
of the boardWas worked for and
voted for by Mr.. Johnson. Both
gentlemen are candidates for
governor Of Minnesota. Take
your choice.
