A Monument to BemidjI.

The people of Bemidji are talking of
urging the next legislature to make an
appropriation for monument to be
erected to the memory of the late Chief
Bemidji. The people of Benidji think
that the state owes it to the late red
man to take official notice of his pass
ing, because he has always been a
friend to the whites and never failed
to be honest and square with them in
perilous times. It is claimed that he
was very influential in preventing the
Chippewas from joinigg the Sioux in
massacring the settlers at the time OF
the uprising in 1861 while most of the
heads of families among the white set
tiers were away ID the Union army. 1t
was Chief Bemidji's dying wish that
the whites extend to his grandson
Black Toungle, aged ten years, the
same kindly attention that they had
always shown him.

Other Problems.

A proposal to consolidate the three
publishing houses of the church in New
York, Cincinnati and Chicago will
doubtless cause spirited discussion.
The subject of the American uni
versity, in course of construction in
Washington, is one of the big questions
that the education department will have
to decide. The institution, as originally
projected, was to have an endowment OF
S5,O00,00O and an agreement was reached
at former general conference that
the university should not be opened un-
til this sum should be in hand. About
S2,500O00 has been collected, land has
been secured and several large buildings
erected. There is a strong party in the
conference that opposes the idea of let
ting this property stand idle for an in
definite period, and urges that the school
be opened also.
The educational department will also
have to decide the question Of heresy
in certain theological schools where the
majority of the Methodist ministers re-
ceive their training.
For the hrSL Tune III the history OIL Tile
Methodist general conferences women
delegates will have seats in the confer
ence and a voice in the direction of
church affairs.
To Elect New Bishops.
The election of bishops, which will
take place about May 16, is one Of the
chief duties of the present conference.
1t appears to be certain that no fewer
than four new bishops or no more than
ten will be elected There are numerous
candidates. AIMING them are: Rev. DR.,
James NJ. Buckley, New York; Rev. DR..
George F. Bovard Los Angeles; Chan
cellor Day, of the University of SYRIA
cuse; Rev. DR.. W. F. Mcdowell, of the
Educational society; President Little, of
the Garrett Biblical institute, Evanston,
Ill; President Bachford, of Ohio Wes-
leyan university; Rev. T. R. Jennings,
CINCINNATI and Rev. DR.. Henry Spell
meyer, Newark, N. j.
The colored delegates, of whom there
are Is or more, will make strong effort
to have one of their race elected bishop.

President Roosevelt touched the but
ton, releasing the machinery, the flags
and the water in the cascades at the ex-
position just one hour before the time
when the worlds fair was really opened.
Technically, the president opened the
exposition with the magic key in the
white house. In reality he had nothing
to do with it. When the message was
received by President Francis, he with
held it until all of the ceremonies had
been completed.

ASuicide.

After he had been arrested and re-
leased on charge of beating his wife,
Peter Engh, a prosperous farmer who
resided near St. Hilaire, hung himself
to tree near his house. His body was
found by persons passing the highway.
Engh returned home from St. Hilarie,
after he had drank freely, and it is
charged, beat his wife, driving her
from the house.
Neighbors heard of the trouble and
secured a warrant, which it was found
later, had been illegally drawn up
Engh was taken to Red Lake Falls
where he was released. Sobered by
his experience, he returned home, and
found his wife critically i'll. Neigh
bors believe that remorse and melan-
choly, the consequence of his drinking,
caused him to end his life.

partment, falsifed and raised bills for

ment. This is what Brown testified to
on the witness stand in the case against
Johnson.
johnson was cleared by the jury and
Brown was at once arrested charged
