A ROOrback Nailed.

The following appeared in last
Saturdays issue of this paper:
"The new city of Bemidji is
pretty certain to have an excel

Certain persons who are cha

being successful business men

Special State Aid for High
Schools and Graded
Schools Received.
CITY OF BEMIDJI WILL RECEIVE
$I,495.
Eight Districts Will Participate
in Distribution of the
Money.

The state school apportion ment
for October 1905 amounting to
'$4618.4O is now in the hands Of
the county auditor awaiting dis
tribution.
In addition to the apportlon-
ment the county auditor has also
received 1886 which is to be dis
tributed among those schools
which have complied with the
state Departmental regulations
relative to the securing the spec
ial state aid.
The following are the districts
that will participate in this fund
with the amounts each will re-
ceive:
Dist. No., City of Bemidii
I high $1495.
Dist. No. so, Village of Black
duck (graded) $685..
Dist. No. 4, Nymore Village
(semi-graded) $3.50.
Dist. No. Sc, Turtle River Semi
graded) $3.50.
Dist. No. 46. Tenstrike (semi-
graded) $3.50.
Dist. No. 13, Eckles first class
ruraD 1872.
Dist. No. Is, Eckles Second
class rural $37.
Dist. No. II, Turtle River (sec.
ond class ruraD $37.
It will be seen from above that
the special state aid, although
but few districts in the county
are now participating in the
same, amounts to over half the
amount received from apportion-
ment. This ought to be sufficient
argument for any district not.

aid, but which could, by a little
extra effort on the part of it's

to the same either as a first
or second class rural school, to
comply with the very simple and
necessary regulations of the de-
partment, which would entitle
them to receive it. It can be
readily seen that if every school
in the county were to receive
this aid this county would then
receive some s. 600 more than it
is now receiving.

The work of laying steel OF the

his return home after a visit to-
Northome, where he made ar
rangements for the laying of
rails on the extension. ...
Mr.. Strachan states that it will
take about 80 days to complete
the work with the crew that will
be put on tomorrow morning.
He cannot state at the present
time, however, how long it will
be after the rails have been laid
to Ripple before regular train
service will be installed. ''It all
depends on the weather. says
Mr.. Strachan, land if we are
fortunate in having an abundance
of good weather regular trains
will be running only a short time
after the rails are laid, whereas
if the weather proves unfavorable
it will be a much longer time"

ers in Vigorous Speech.

A mass meeting Of business
men and citizens generally was
held at the Masonic Hall last
evening and was attended by Is

nunciation of the use of official
power. to coerce voters in the
present campaign was vigorous
and pointed.
The charge made before the
charter election that the advo-
Gates of city organization desired
IA closed town was vigorously
refuted and on motion of w. N.
Bowser it was unanimously
declared that the attempt of the
county attorney to vigorously
enforce the "blue laws against
the saloons of the city was
neither desired nor deemed wise
by any charter advocate, and
the meeting expressed in no un-
certain terms it's sympathy With
the saloon men Of the city whose
business is being delibertly in
jured for the political gain of a
few.

Will Test the Well.

1t is believed that plenty of good
water can be had at the we'll on the E.
E. Jolly property, which was given a
preliminary test last week and which
the city council will give a second and
more thorough test soon. 1t is known
that the Jolly well is supplied with a
very strong vein and that no ordinary
pump can begin to pump it out at the
rate Of fifteen gallons per minute which
is not enough to empty the small we'll
now tapping the vein. A large hole is
to be sunk and more thorough test
made If the vein is as good as there
is reason to believe it is the expense
Of getting water supply for the town
will be practically nothing and the S.
900 proposed for that purpose can all
be used towards piping the town. II
has been estimated that it would cost
something like a thousand dollars fol
wells alone.

Latah County Suits Him.

p.Iderson, a Marshal county, Kansas
t,rmer t purchased quarter section of
sns t land near Avon, this county, and
Tuesday he said to the News editor:
81 think Latah county is the best
country I ever saw. I am more than
sotis6ed When 1 came here I was
snHerer from asthma and that disease
has left me. Of my farm 80 acres are
nnder plow and I think my soil will
nroduce as much per acre as any soil
n apv country. This year, my first
eynerience farming in your county,
raised potatoes that were simply mar
velous. some OF them weighing two
mounds. Not just one or two but
many Of them are that size. My hay
did fine and grain was good. l never
saw a better country and find plenty Of
excellent opportunities to invest. The
country, especially in my section, is
lust on the verge Of rapid and wonder
full development and before you are
aware, the new road will be built,
towns will spring up, and real estate
values be much above present quota
tions.

Mike is Dead.

Who was 'Mike?" He was the
most wonderful bear that ever lived,
and he died at the local opera house
Saturday afternoon. The bear was the
property of A. R. Robert, who recent
ly visited Troy with his trained animal
show, and in losing mike" was Just
about put out Of business, for Mike
was the big end Of the entertainment
When mere baby the bear was taken
by Robert, who for month worked
with him until the cub mastered the
tricycle., which no other bear ever dlo'
and perhaps never again will be accom-
plished by bear. Another feat per
formed with care by Mike was his BAL
ancing on his hind legs on the top OF a
large wooden ball, moving / this po'
sition about the stage. He would turn
summersaults like boy, and do other
thicks that made it possible for Robert
to entertain the audience for an houl
with Mike alone. The wonderful III
tie animal took sick at Lewiston ano
died here Saturday evening just Deior'
the show. Mike had been on tn'
stage three years, and was the only oi
cycle riding bear on earth, and IN NJ
death financial loss OF at least SloV
was sustained.

"How to Study the Bible."

EDITOR TROY WEEKLY NEWS
This was the subject of a lecture
given by a noted speaker short time
ago. and at which the writer was pres
ent, partly by special invitation, but
mostly by choice, being interested IN
bible study.
That the writer did not altogether
agree with the speaker, is not sui
fcient cause for asking space in your
columns, but being persuaded that the
best side of the question from bible
standpoint was left untouched, and be-
lieving that some of the hearers may
desire to carry the study little further
or at least know the writers reason Tor
disagreeing, will justify some snort
comment on the lecture. The speak
er's position was defined as follows;
That the Bible consists OF the
old and new testaments.
. That the old testament IS the
foundation of the new, and the new Is
an unfolding Of the old; the one beng
necessary ne to the other, and both being
necessary to US. ID
2 That certain portions Of the old
testament. more particularly the law o.
Cod or the ten commandments were
intended for the Jews only; and are
now void, abolished and taken out o
the way etc. ,...., o.,
a That all the commandments ca
cent the fourth, or Sabbath command
rnents' men were reenacted in the neV
testament: the fourth only remaining Il
oneration since Christ rose from tn
dead on the first day Of the week
commonly known as Sunday.

He Likes Troy.

This weeks issue Of the Mohler
Times contains the following bit OF
interesting news. E. F. Jones, the
gentleman referred to was formerly a
resident of Mohler, coming to Troy
this fall. The Times says:
"E. F. Jones writes from Troy,
where he finds plenty Of work to do.
Troy is the liveliest little town he ever
saw and great deal of business is
transacted there. The town has
many rich resources to draw from and
promises to become the chief town OF
Latah county"
This is certainly true. No other
town in Latah county begins to COM
pare with Troy in the volume OF annual
business transacted. Other towns
may boast Of larger and better business
for say month or so during the har-
vest season but at Troy business is
good twelve months in every year.
And no town in Latah county begins
to show the growth seen mere uullus
the past year, nor has any other towr
in Latah county future half so brigh'
and promising as has Troy, the bigges'
little town on earth. Last year there
was shipped from here nearly two
thousand cars Of prodnce, grain, hay
vegetables, fruit, wood ties, post
and lumber, and the only reason th'
record for 1905 is not even larger /
the fact that the N. P. company have
been unable to supply the local de
mand for cars. The stuff is here t
be shipped. Mr.. Jones is correct
Troy has many rich resources to draI
from and will become Latah county
chief town"

Streets are Lighted

Troy now presents quite metropol-
itan appearance, the result of the in
stallation of goodly number Of street
lights we'll placed about the town.
That it adds much to the general ap-
pearance OF our little city no one will
question, and the council are to be
commended for their efforts to improve
the town. Next is the giving to Troy
a modern water system which should
be in operation at an an early date.

in or knowledge of transglession.

sin or knowledge Of transglession.
This is the best reason of the need Of
the law, but aside from any proof, the
speaker admits the need of the law, or
at least the nine commandments. For
why else re-enact a thing supposed
useless. 1t therefore appeared that
the gist Of the matter was to escape
the obligation Of the fourth, or sab
bath commandment, and the writer
admits having once tried his best in
that direction, but could not con-
scientiously or logically come to any
other conclusion from the study Of
bible, but that the Lord took good
care that his laws should be given to
man in a plain, clear and impressive
way, so he first wrote it in the heart Of
primeval man, Rom. 2:14-15; then
spake it himself, Ex. 20:1-22; wrote it
by his own finger on tables of stone,
Elk. 31:18; and 1916; which having
done he could not break nor altar, Ps.
1894; but gave his life not to destroy
but to fulfill, Matt. 5:17-18; to mag
nifty and make honorable, Isa. 1921;
having the law within his heart, Ps. 40:
78, and promising to put his law in
the mind and write it in the heart oi
the true Israel, Heb. 8:10-11; and
pronouncing a blessing upon them
that do his commandments, Rev. 22:-
IA; and witnessing through Paul anc
every true follower that the law is holy
Just, good and spiritual, Rom.7:12-14
and the sabbath instituted by the Lore
at the end OF the week of creation by
resting upon, blessing and sanctifyini
the day, Gen. 2:2-3; requiring hi
people to keep it before the forma
giving of the law on Sinai, Ex l6:4-5;
1880; as sign between God and hi
people, Elk. 31:13; Ez.20-12, 20; KEEP
by our savior, Luke 4-16, his disciples
Luke 1856; Paul and others, Act
1914; 1918; will be kept by
peorle before the Lord
coming again, Rev. 12:17;14:12; an
on the earth made new, Isa. 6o:22-2'
is certainly part Of that law Of whic
the savior says that not one jot or tit
shall fail.
The writer has no controversy Wi
any one whose faith and practice ma
not be in harmony with the divir
principle Of the law of God, but lie
some may think it strange that he d
