Judging from the large number of
inquiries received at the office A. E.
Johnson & Co., it looks as though an
unusually large number of the most
noted Scandinavians of the northwest
would leave for the old country this
fall via the Direct Scandinavian
Steamship line, Thingvalla, and re-
turn in the spring. Mr.. Johnson says
by this way people in the old country
receive the most reliable information
pertaining to the natural advantages
of the New Northwest.

last week they had at that point about
100 men and so teams engaged in grad
ing on the Fargo, Graceville & st.
Louis Air Line. The grade is being
pushed as rapidly as possible, with
the view of having trains running by
October.
For our part we did not expect to
see much work or money expended on
this road before another year, but are
agreeably surprised to notice such ele-
giant prospects of having ride over it
this fall. This will in effect, be road
from Morris to Ortonville, just what
we have been wanting for a long time.
1t will be great help to all those

Minnesota Shipping 1000, 900, barrels
of flour.

The shipping of flour from Mime
apolis to Duluth and from Duluth to
eastern states and foreign countries is
a business that is constantly growing
and one that will continue to grow as
the great northwest becomes settled,
although the bulk of the flour may
not come from Minneapolis as now.
At this point the st. Paul and Duluth
railroad company has -four house
that has capacity of 10000 barrels,
and we have it from the very best au-
thority that this warehouse is regular
ly filled and emptied three times per
month. From statements on file in
the st. Paul and Duluth freight office
we learn that since the opening of
navigation the enormous amount of
50, ,2O0, 600 pounds or All, 900 barrels of
-four have been shipped, and two
months of the season yet remains, and
it is we'll known fact that in the
last two months of the season, more
or as much is forwarded as during the
first five months. But this is not all.
Considerable -four is being received
from along the line of the Northern
Pacific this summer, something here
to unheard of, and it will undoubtedly
increase materially each season. The
Times wouldnot be surprised iftheship-
ments of -four from Duluth this season
reached the enormous figure of l ,0OO,-
600 barrels, and these figures will be
increased yearly as the banks ofthe
st. Louis river becomes dotted with
mills and the Northern Pacific country |
develops.-Duluth Times.

On Tuesday evening, Aug. 21st,

the cloud and electrical display
was peculiar. A cloud in the south
west and one in the northwest were

came nearer together, there was dis
long, roaring peculiar noise

not feel certain what it was, but

At the Bottom of Lake Winnipiseogee.

At the Bottom of Lake Winnipiseogee.
The experience of Eugene Sullivan,
submarine diver who recently
searched the bottom of Lake Winni-
piseogee for the body of E. L. Dunk
ley, offers a reasonable explanation of
the fact that the bodies of many per-
sons drowned in that lake have never
been recovered. The diver walked into
quicksand surrounding cold spring
in the lake-bed and began to sink in
1t, but was promptly pulled out by
the men above in response to his ur-
gent signal on the rope. The land
known as Eagle Island, in Lake Win
nipiseogee, is the protruding crest of
steep and rugged hill about 100 feet
in height. At some distance from the
foot of this hill the diver discovered
large plain covered with eel-grass and
alive with eels; he also encountered
innumerable fish, some of them very
large, which swarmed around him and
nibbled at his armor.

NEW HAVEN Conn., june g.
Ansonia is excited over the alleged at
tempt of Father Byron to compel Catho-
lies to have the medical services only of
DIR. Conkling. A parishioner employed a
protestant doctor for his sick WIFE. She
did iloefmprovesand it, was feared would
die. Father Byron was sent for, but re-
fused to attend, because DR.. Conkling had
not been employed. The woman is now
recovering. Last Sunday morning DE-.
ConkIing went to Father Bradley with
letter of Introduction. Father Bradley was
ill, and the doctor handed the letter to
Father Daley, his assistant, asking him
to announce at first mass that DR..
Conkling was coming among them to
practice medicine, and to give him intro
dictiaR to the people. Father Daley did
so. Father Byron, at the next two masses
= made announcement to the effect that he
was glad that young Catholic doctor had
come among them, and they would no
longer be obliged to have recourse to the
hererical murderers. He announced
that he would not attend any woman who
did not employ DIR. Conkling. Father
Brady and other prominent Catholics de-
nounce the action of Father Byron. The
matter will be brought before the Bishop.

The Primary School.

The Philadelphia Times very peril
nentlytspeaks a good word for the pri-
mary school, which nowadays is some
what to be apt neglected. There is, :" it
says, Every much talk about the higher
education, but it is the lower educa-
ton that is really important to most OF
us, and there is no more gratifying evil
'dence of progress than the gradually
developed recognition among those who
have charge of our public educational
system of the essential Importance of
the primary schools! The work of the
primary schools is the foundation and
the main structure of all public educa-
ton. Many. children never go beyond
this, and in, every case it is the first
bending of the twig that determines the
inclination of the tree. We have been
giving attention in Philadelphia to high
schools and grammar schools, which
are for the few; The primary and second
ary schools, which are for the many,
have been left too much to chance and
to the ignorant laundering of irnper-
fectly educated teachers

A few months since, Robert Lee, of Col

mountains named Driskell. 1t contained
about one hundred Inhabitants. Through
the influence of friends he was appointed
Postmaster, and wrote to the Department
that it was large and growing town and
made application for $500 in stamps, which
were sent him. Since that time he has re-
ceived s., ooOin stamps. He opened a general
land office and flooded the country with
printing matter, using stamps as his CAPT
tai, which he sold at a discount. He had
disposed of nearly $1,S00 worth and last
week made application for $500 more. The
postoffice became suspicious and Postoffice
Inspector Frey, of Atlanta, to-day detected
the Swindle and arrested Lee. He was put
under heavy bond and is now in jail< He
