CHANGES IN EPIscopATE.
MethOdists Look Forward to Action of
Next General Conference.

Comment is heard in many direc-
lions, all of them Methodist and chiefly
official, concerning what may happen
in the way of episcopal changes at
the Methodist general conference of
1908. Holding for Methodism a mark
ed interest, in that the subject is one
that concerns administrative effective
ness it Is one always under discus
sion In Methodist circles, despite the
fact that action on it can be taken but
once In four years.
Striking changes in the episcopate
are promised for the next general con-
ference, particularly in the number
of bishops to be chosen, and this in
iew of the fact that elections to the
episcopate in 1904 were unusually
numerous. From Rev. DR.. Robert
Forbes. associate secretary Of the
Church Extension society, and one
generally conceded to be very we'll
yersed as to Methodist plans and
needs, comes the suggestion of a
large increase in the board of bishops.
Holding that more bishops and fewer
Lresiding elders mean greater effect

with that child's education. Envirol-
ment is everything with the Indian
youth when he gets inside the school
walls. His home influence absolutely
determines his progress or his stagn.-
ton in school, and his school conduct
largely foreshadows his future life.
The government is doing everything
possible to tighten the way for our
people, and 1t must be said to their
credit that many of them are making
the most of the opportunities.
Mr.. Caswell is a full-blood Chippewa.
Born at Mills Laos Lake, he went with
his parents, when very young, to the
White Earth reservation, where, after
attending the reservation boardi lg
school, he went to the Carlisle, Pa, In
dian school. He was graduated from
Carlisle in 1894. Hit has always BEEN
splendid athlete, and was captain of
the famous football team which repr:-
sented Carlisle in 1892, playing the
position of quarter SO ably as to ne
selected as a member of the all-Amer-
lean eleven of that year. Mr.. Caswell
speaks English perfectly, though his
parents at Mile Laos were limited en-
tirely to the Chippewa tongue. Mrs.
Caswell is an Oneida. With the par
ents speaking different Indian tongues,
their common language-is English, and
their bright little daughter can speak
nothing but English. Through close
application to his duties as superiu-
tendent of the schools, and his most
excellent department., Mr.. Caswell has
won much commentator from his su-
periors in the department of Indian
affairs.

LITTLE BOY STOLEN.
Sfx.Year.Old Child Disappears From
Indiana-The Public Appealed To.

Editor c. p. Wolfe, publisher of the
New Harmony (Ind.) Times, sends out
pathetic appeal for the recovery ~
a lost or stolen child--a boy six years
old. A reward of $500 awaits any in
formation that will lead to the recov-
cry of the boy, and no questions will
be asked If the abductor himself would
deliver the boy to his parents he would
not be molested. The bereaved par
ents are heart-broken with grief and
want only their child. Every man,
woman and child should constitute
himself detective and be on the look
out for the lost lad-not for the reward
but in the interest Of the brotherhood
of man and humanity's sake The
following is a description of the lost
boy:
Richard Byers if alive, was six years
old last July, is of light complexion, has
gray eyes, left eye noticeably crossed,
has shaped nick in the edge of the
left ear, has u sharp chin and u narrow
projecting forehead. He is rather small
for his age and Is unusually bright and
intelligent. taking after the manner of
boy much older.

CHURCHES I

i,eness in administration, Dr. Forbes
urges that at least ten bishops be
added in 1908 and one hundred presid-
ing elders stricken from the list.
Those of the latter class remaining
would become district superintend-
ents, involving not only change in
anne, but provision for increased and
closer supervision of the churches.
Whether this radical step will gener-
ally be felt to be necessary is to be
ascertained before the general con-
ference.
Two OF three of the bishops in the
present effective list are likely to be
retired in 1908, according to well-in-
formed Methodists, but it is not known
who they will be. Bishop Warren is
the senior bishop, having been elected
in 1880. BY 1908 he will have reached
the age of seventy-seven. Bishop
Fowler comes next, having been elect
ed in 1884. Bishops Fitzgerald and
Goodsell were both elected in 1888.
]. is held that the itinerating life of
Methodist bishop is too great a tax
on the physical strength of man
advanced in years, and there is likeii-
hood therefore that one or more of
the men named may be retired two
years hence.
The suggestion that ten or twelve
Few bishops be named and an equal
number Of new episcopal residences
created would mean, it is declared, the
election to the board of bishops prob
ably of larger number than has been
named at any previous general con-
ference. Minneapolis "a city of episco-
pal residence, is at present without
bishop, owing to the recent death of
Bishop Joyce. Possible cities for the
establishment of episcopal residences,
mentioned by DR.. Forbes in the event
that his plan goes into effect, are De-
tloit, Pittsburg. Atlanta, New Orleans,
Fort Worth, Kansas City, Des Moines,
Omaha, Fargo, Spokane and Los An
geles.

road paid $4,000 which was received
at the county treasurer's Office last
week. The total railroad taxes for the
year 1905 amounts to $4,000.
The previous trouble. which the
county has experienced with the var
ious road overseers on account of the
railroad taxes. will be averted this
year. County Treasurer Mitchell will
send to each, township treasurer the,
amount Of railroad taxes due the diff
ferent townships and in this manner
there will be no opportunity for any
trouble over the payment of the rail-
road taxes.

INDIAN PUPILS GOOD PROGRESS
Related by Supt. Caswell Of the Cass
Lake School.

Cass Lake, Mimi, March 5.-Benja-
min F. Caswell, superintendent of the
Cass Lake Indian school, reports ex-
cellent progress at the school during
the past year. Relative to the school,
ing of the young reds under his charge,
Mr.. Caswell says: THE aptitude of
the average Indian child for learning
is practically certain indication of
the home influence Of the child. If the
Indian parents send the child to scho u
becaust they want the child to learn,
and from a knowledge that it is good
for the child to secure at least the
rudiments of an education, then the
pupil is apt, tacctable and Industrious;
but If the parents send their offspring
to school because they are compelled
to, or to get the youngsters out of the
way. there Is very little Roadway made

Held March eth and Sth.

The Prohibition party is to hold its
state convention in the new Auditor
ium in Minneapolis on March and 8.
The purpose of the convention is the
nomination of a state ticket and the
election of a new state committee, and
such other business as usually falls to
the organization of a campaign for

The tenacity of the Prohibitionists
has been marvel to many onlookers.

born of determination to win.

CONFINEMENT
FINE ART
Rev. Frank E. X. Miller breaches First
Of q Series OF Sermons On It-Fine
Art of Christian Living at the First
Baptist Church Yesterday Morning.
"For have learned, in whatso.
ever state l am, Herewith to be
cOntcnt."-Phil. ALL.

Rev. Frank E. r. Miller chose the
above text on which to base his SER
mon on 1.-The Fine Art of Content
ment" at the First Baptist church
yesterday morning. This is the first
O.: series of sermons on the fine arts
of Christian living which will be de-
Evered by Mr.. Miller Sunday morn
ings for the next few weeks.
Mr.. Miller's central thought was
that contentment does not spring
from environment but from mental
and spiritual state; it is not what
comes into the temporal life, but
what comes into the inner life that
causes contentment. The man who
Sits down to table groaning with
good things on Thanksgiving day,
surrounded with his family, for
which he is able to provide every
comfort and luxury, is supposed to be
contented; while the man who cannot
provide a feast for Thanksgiving and
is not able to provide even the conf
forts of life for his family, is sup
Iosed by the world to be disconnected.
This is not necessarily true, the poor
man and his family may be contended
while the rich man and his family
may be very disconnected.
1t is supposed by the world that
wealth and all that it brings makes
for happiness and contentment. 1t
is mistaken notion of the world of
today. We persist in mixing the fac
tors in our modern life; placing the
first secondly and the secondly first.
Wealth and worldly success do not of
necessity make for contentment and
happiness: it is clean, unselfsh
living, a pure heart and a clean con-
science that make for happiness.
Paurs thorn in the flesh" was
rrqbably physical affection. Mis-
fortune, poverty and pain are often
for the spiritual uplift of mankind;
Under any condition, complaint and
fault finding do not ease the pain and
afflicts unhappiness on others. We
brought nothing into the world and
we take nothing out of it. Content
ment comes from Christ-like life and
not from what we have here on earth
or what we suffer.
All may be darkness and pain, but
by becoming disciple of Christ and
allowing to lead us, the darkness will
be turned to light and our pains to
tlessing. Christ and his true dis
oiples alone of all men have arrived
at THE Fine Art of Contentment."

MADE FINAL PROOF.
Mrs. Bruce Warren Now Has Clear
Aitle to Fort Totten Claim.

Mrs. Bruce Warren has made final
proof on what her late husband
considered the best quarter Sec
ton of land in the Fort Tot
ten reservation. 1t will be re-
membered that MrH. Warren, cashier
of the Forest River bank, in the gov
eminent lottery, drew first prize. and
was allowed to make the first selec-
ton of land on the reservation. He
made, the selection, was married soon
after. and within year he died. Mrs.
Warren remained on the claim, looked
after the improvements required by
the government, and presented herself
at the Devils Lake land Office several
days ago and presented her final proof
papers. which were found satisfactory.

LUMBER MEN
ARE HAPPY
FAN Of Snow In Pineries Of the North
Country and Cold Snap Aid Gem
Pleti0n of Delayed Operations
Big Cut Will Be the Result.


With snow already deep upon the
ground and still heavier fall, and a
decided drop in temperature predicted
to follow, Minnesota lnmbermen are
joining with the fuel dealers in great
rejoicing. A continuation of the cold
snap may make it possible for the
loggers to catch up in their cutting to
an extent that will make the season 5
log crop approach those of the past At
present the loggers are away benin l.
and it will be necessary to get in some
strenuous work. to make even q pre-
sentable record.
I'VE are still plugging along. far
behind" said prominent lumbermln
land until the present change in
weather came on we almost despaire'l
of accomplishing anything. The wealth
er has been dead against us almost
throughout the season. There has been
"a shortage of laborers in some sectio, S
but in some camps it has been difficult
to find work for those who were %
there. We cannot hope to reach the
figures of the past even if we have
the best of conditions from now or.
and an exceptionally late spring, but
we will welcome every days time we
are given, and will make strong af-
fort to cut down the shortage"
Only one consolation, aside from the
indications of more favorable weather,
could be found in the pessimistic
statements of the lumbermen who have
been set back by an unusually mild
winter. That is the fact that short
cut this year will prolong the inevita-
BILE day when Minnesota pine will all
be marketable.
Today it is impossible to estimate
what the log shortage will be as COM
Jared with past years. A few days ago
lumbermen would have predicted the
lowest record In history, but they
gathered new life from the snow and
cold wave signals. and today declare
that things are looking up.
