motherless children as lovingly as an

vey and Charles now live in the west.
Their married life was spent in West
Barnet and this place. She was the last
of nine children, all but one living to
ripe old age, She was privileged to care
tor most of them in their latter years.

going about doing good as long as she
was able. The funeral was held Monday

THE NORWEGIAN LUTHERAN
CHURCH NOW PROSPEROUS
Congregation Has Trebled in Numbers Since Rev. T. S.
Kolste Came Here-NeW District Added to Gen.
eral Church, Called Bemidji District.

The Norwegian Evangelical Luth-
eran church of Bemidji has de-
termined to henceforth be independ-
ent of the mission board of the
United Lutheran Church of America,
this determination having been
reached at a meeting of the church
board held recently.
At the meeting of the church
officials, it was shown that the
church was in a spendid financial
condition, warranting the taking Of
independent action. Heretofore, the
church has been supported by the
mission board of the general church,
but the interest shown in the work.
of the church, increase in member
ship, better financial condition, ETC.,
warrants the action.
In connection with the severing of
the aid from the mission board, Rev.
kolste, pastor of the church, was
authorized to call a student from
the theological seminary at St.
Anthony Park to assist in preaching
and general work of the church, and
more especially in teaching the
parochiai schools in Bemidji and
other points joined to the Bemidji
charge.
There has been added to the
Norwegian Evangelical Lutheran
church of America a new district to
be called the Bemidji district, which
will be daughter of the Twin
Valley district. The new Bemidji
district extends from Erskine east
ward along the line of the c.. N.
railway to Cass Lake, and extending
northward on the Minnesota & Inter.
national railway to the Canadian
boundary and also including a part
of Canada adjacent to International
Falls. This new district will con-
tain about fifty congregations and
ten pastors; and Rev. Kolste, pastor
of the Bemidji church, will act as
the official visitator or overseer of
the new Bemidji district. This
position is the official representative
Ct the United Norwegian Evangeli-
cal Lutheran church of America,
which has 100000 membership, and
1900 congregations.
The splendid success achieved by
the Bemidji United Evangelical
Lutheran church has been due in a
large measure to the untiring efforts

LIE Claire stuck to his post like a
hero. Rather than jump like tie 9TH
ers and allow the train to take it's
course he stuck in the cab with one
hand on the throttle and another on
the whistle and shrieked out signals
ahead to the switchmen to give him
clear tracks.
When he saw, however, that the
case was hopeless he leaped from his
cab at the end of the string of sheds
and allowed the monster engine to
pillow through the baggage room, the
only place where it was possible to
wreck the train with possible escape
from fatalities.
The train, it is estimated, was 60
ing sixty-fve miles an hour when it
struck the depot. The failure of an
angle cock, controlling the airbrakes,
to work is said to have caused the
runaway.

of the pastor, Rev. Kolste, and the
cooperation of members of the con-
gregation who needed his requests
for aid.
Rev. Ko]ste came to Bemidji Janu-
airy "a, 1908; and he at once in.
spired the confidence of his parish
people by his earnest Christian char
acter and efforts to better church
conditions among his people; and his
success was marked, from the very
beginning. The congregation today
numbers three times as many church
going people as were members when
Rev. Kolste first came here, and the
church is in a fourishiDg financial
condition.
The latest movement of the local
Norwegian Lutheran church is t he
organization of a Young Peoples
society, which will have a large
membership. This society will hold
two meetings monthly, one on the
first Thursday of each month and
the other on the third Thursday OF
each month. The monthly meetings
will be different in character, the
first monthly meeting being of a
social character, and the other meet
ing will be in the nature of a christ
ian literary meeting.
Much interest is being taken in
the work of the church and its differ.
ent associate organizations, and Be.
midi has a Norwegian Lutheran
organization of which any city might
we'll be proud.

THE TEST FOR THE CENSUS

D. ". Meeker Of Moorhead Is Superintendent

Washington, Dec. 27.-Any per-
son of good judgment, who has re-
ceived an ordinary common school
education, can readily and easily
pass the test to be given applicants
for census enumerators' places on
Saturday, Feb. 5th, the date finally
set by U. S. Census Director Durand,
according to an announcement from
the Census Bureau today. This will
be comforting assurance to the
several hundred thousand who are
believed to be contemplating appli.
cation for the places.
1t was emphatically stated at the
bureau that the test will be an
eminently reasonable and practical
one, similar to that applied to ap-
plicants at the twelfth census. 1t
will consist of filling out sample
schedule of population from a de-
scription, in narrative form, of typi-
cal families; and, in case of enumer-
ators whose work will be in the
rural districts, they will be called
upon to fill out an additional sample
schedule of agriculture, from infor-
nation furnished by the Census
Bureau.

men, who may desire to become

quite to Be Settled by the Outcome of
the Chicago Conference.
+ st. Paul, Dec. Governor Eber-
hart is in communication with the off,
GERS Of the thirteen roads entering St.
Paul with a view to the early return
of the striking switchmen to work.
Upon the answers received from them
hangs the immediate adjustment of
the strike which has been on since
Nov 80.
4 II the roads will consent to take the
men back within a reasonable time
Frank T. Hawley, president of the
Switchmen,,s union, has assured the
governor that he will direct his COM
mittee to abide by the Chicago arbi-
tration, as agreed in the governors
conference.
!, The governor thinks thirty days
might be reasonable with some of the
roads which have large numbers Of
extra men hired. A shorter time
might not be unreasonable with other
roads affected.
The kilograms received by the gov
esnor may prevent a recOnVening sof
the conference which spent several
days in session at the capitol, for if
ct once notify President Hawley, who
has promised that the sWitchmen will
then go back to work under the old
conditions pending the Chicago arbi-
tration.
Increase in Wages Probable.
r Concerning the outcome of the Chi
oago arbitration it was conceded in
the discussion before the governor
that some raise, probably not the en-
tire 6 cents asked by the switchmen,
would be granted in the Chicago dis
tict and this the Northwestern
switchmen, under the agreement in
the governors conference, are to
share. = .<< 49,
Besides this the working conditions
Of the switchmen' in the Chicago dis
trict are more desirable than they are
in the Northwestern district and even
should the Chicago conditions not be
bettered they will be better than the
present conditions here and as they
also are to apply here the Northwest
ern switchmen will enjoy this gain as
result of the strike.
On the other hand, if there should
be such a refusal on the part of the
roads to reinstate the strikers as
would indicate disposition not to
meet the proposed arbitration on a
fair basis. then, of course, President
Hawley will not direct the switchmen
to return to work and Governor Eber-
hart will have to call the conference
together again to see if some further
compromise measures can not be
found acceptable.
That this will be necessary, how
ever, neither he nor the officials of
either employers or employees deem
likely.
