School Appointments.

st. Paul.-State Superintendent j.
w. Olsen certified to the state auditor
the lists of the several classes OF
schools entitled to special state aid
for the year ending July 81, 1908.
On account of the increase in the
number of schools that have qualified
for the aid, the appropriations are not
sufficient to admit of each school re-
cefving the full amount to which it is
actually entitled under the law. 1t
will be necessary to ask. the legis-
lature to make deficiency appropria'
ton. State high schools are entitled
to $1,000 each, graded to $3.50, semi
graded to $3.50. first class rural to $l25
and second class rural to SO.

Resort Burns.

White Bear.-Wildwood the popular
summer resort on the shores of White
Bear Lake, was swept by confiagra-
ton last night that caused loss es-
timated at between $4,000 and $751;
900 and destroyed most of the build
ings in the park. The losers by the
fire are the Twin City Rapid Transit
company, which owns the buildings,
and H. M. Barnet, who operates the
amusement privileges and the pavil-
ion. The company places it's loss at
about $4,000, with 70 per cent insur-
ance, and Mr.. Barnet estimates that
his loss will be between $4,000 and
$4,000, fully covered by insurance.
The fire started in the kitchen OF
the pavilion and was discovered by
Andrew Peterson, the night watch
man, who attempted to put out the
ire, but a stiff breeze, blowing from
the lake, quickly put the flames be-
yond his control, and in an incredibly
short time the entire structure was
enveloped in flames.

The gypsies are the showmen of the
east, where there are no circuses,
theaters or concert halls. The gypsies
fill their place. If people wish to
buy wild animals or snakes in Egypt
they go to the gypsies, who either
have or catch them.
Arab gypsies from Syria and Egypt
are frequently seen all over Europe.
They are easily recognized by their
shows, music and tattoo marks. They
are found all over the Uniteds States
and Canada, even in Winnipeg.-Jour

Bio Game.

America.-Big game is becoming
more numerous in the vicinity of the
Lake of the Woods. More members
of the bear family have been killed
this season in eastern Roseau county
than in many years. Charles McLane
of Warroad already has nineteen
black bears to his credit, all killed by
him in the rocky Businesses bordering
the northwest shore of the Lake of
the Woods.
That the numerous forest fires are
in part responsible for the increased
number of bears in this section is
probable, although black bear, with an
occasional brown bear, were frequent
ly seen prior to the forest fires.
Moose and deer are also apparent
ly increasing in numbers.

his to the very least information, and the walk
his too, and yet she knew she had doubt some
where, a very small doubt, which it sort of
slow torture to feel was still unsatsfed
Van Torp sat between her and Margaret, while
the two others walked The deep cushioned straw
chairs stood round low fixed table which
there had been coffee and at Margarets request the
light had been put out, though it only small
opalescent one, placed under the awning abaft the
wheehouse and bridge.
Where are we gong?" Margaret asked. AT
this rate to get somewhe1~.
Il don't know where we're going, I'm sure.
The millionaire smiled in the gloom :" But

where in the Mediterranean. And if he finds
another yacht anything like this, we'll see which of

way of passing the time; and when you re tired Of
rushing about and want 60 anywhere in particular
why, I'll take you there. Will that do?''
Margaret laughed at the vagueness of such a
rowing commission; but Lady Maud looked toward
her friend in the starlight and tried to his
preston, for she that he had some settled
plan in his mind, which he would probably put into
execution
I've no idea of offering any resistance, assure
you," said Margaret. I'm too perfectly, com.

ing to Margaret Il always lock my door at night;
don't be surprised. If you wish to in and
talk when you come down. just call or knock and
Ill let you in directly.
All right Margaret answered.
Lady Maud disappeared below, leaving the two
together; for Mrs Rushmore and Kralinsky had
found pleasant sheltered place to sit, farther aft
IVAN TORP and Margaret had not been alone to-
gether for five minutes since they had left Bay
reuth the previous day; but nsted Of beginning
talk at once after Lady Maud was gone, the prirna
donna began to sing very softly and beautifully and
qutef herself only for she well knew what pleas
ure her voice gave her companion, and was the
ready to sing because he had never asked her to.
When Margaret babe Van ,Torp good night, she
pressed his hand frankly, as she had never done
before; but he took sudden advantage of what
he felt in her touch, and returned the pressure
discreetly that she almost disappointed;
though not quite, for there just little some
thing more than usual there.
She did not disturb Lady Maud either when she
to her cabin, though if she had known that her
beautiful neighbor wide awake and restless she
would a. least have said good night and asked her if
she still SO very tired.
But Lady Maud slept too, at last, though not
very long, and the only one that appeared at
breakfast to keep Van Torp company; for Margaret
slept the sleep of singer, which is deep and long
that of the healthy dOrmouse, and Mrs Rush
had her first tea and toast happily her cheer

End Of Conference Year

Last Sunday ended Rev. j. w.
Moore's first year as pastor of the Hen
Jacksonville Methodist church, and be-
fore the morning sermon he submitted
a report of the years work, which was
a splendid showing for the faithful pas
tor and live, enthusiastic church.
The report shows that 81 members
have been received during the year, and
more than so have been added to the
neighboring churches in which he has
assisted in revival meetings. He has
made more than LOCO pastoral visits.
All the Conference assessments upon
the church have been paid in full
More than $500 has been paid for i'm.
provements uron the church property.
$500. 90 has been collected on benevo-
lences.
The reports from the Sunday School
and the various Church Societies show
ed them all to be in fourishing con-
dition, and making steady progress.
The pastor, in touching words, paid
high tribute to the faithfulness of the
officers of each of these, and said the
choir was the best he had ever known.
He spoke of the sweet spirit of brother
hood that prevailed the large con-
gregations-the evidences of genuine
worship, and wonderful uplift that such
devout hearers gave to a preacher.
Few, if any, eyes in the great congre-
cation were dry when he referred to
the possibility of being transferred to
another work (and here we might
truthfully say that such will not be the
case if the united voice of this Church
is needed by the appointing powers).
We doubt if any pastor and congrega-
ton ever became so strongly attached
in one years time.
Before the congregation was dismissed
Mr.. F. E. Durfee, for the board of
stewards, announced that the board had
advanced $155. 90 in settlement of the
pastors salary, and in few minutes
this amount was raised by voluntary
contributions-and the church was ready
to begin thenew year with clean bal
ance sheet.
At the close of the Sunday School Dr.
c., Few, superintendent for the past
wear, announced the expiration of his
term, and that Mr.. F. E. Durfee would
assume that Office with the opening of
the new conference year, whereupon
the following resolution was offered,
and unanimously adopted by rising
vote:
Whereas, DIR. C. Few to-day closes
his term of service as Superintendent
of our school, and Whereas the school
has greatly prospered under his Jealous
and faithful discharge of the duties of
the Office, therefore,
Resolved, That we, the teachers
and scholars of the school, tender to him
our heartfelt thanks, congratulating
him upon his eminent success as a super
intendent, and will ever pray Gods
blessings upon him; and that we will
strive to heed his fartherly admonitions
and to meet him in the upper kingdom.
Resolved, further, That we appre-
ciate the faithful and efficient service
of T. M McCulloh as secretary, which
has added much to the success of the
school, and extend to him our hearty

Afidavits were read that Mrs.
Eastman owned real estate in
Chicago to thesnet value of $40, :

gage on property there, failed to
have it cancelled or to destroy
the notes and mortgage, and
that the Colonel now held those
papers and refused to give them
up. The Colonel came. back
with an affidavit that he had
given a bona fde option on Buck
Shoals and its contents for $780,

that the rest was obtained from
her by fraud as hereinbefore set
forth.
Mrs, Eastman is charged with
destroying acertain book of the
company. The affidavit alleges
she threw Che book into the fire,
