Cars Overturned by a Cyclone.

By the wrecking OF the Chicago, Milwau-
kee & St. Paul train between Sioux Falls
and Sioux City, six OF the passengers were
injured seriously and twenty-one more or
less bruised or disfgured. L. NJ. Scott, the
express messenger, was badly hurt about
the head, and at last reports was still I'M
conscious. Mail Agent Williams was also
hurt int ernally, and is in critical condition.
Conductor Mccall says: ;'''>:'
The first waning I had OF any trouble
coming was the appearance OF a monstrous
black cloud which seemed to envelop the
whole sky and appeared to be appall-

full speed from leaving Elk Point, but as the
Wind rose we slowed up some, and when the
squall struck us our speed did not exceed
tdn or twelve miles All hour The first
shock'we Experienced was a heavy Earring,
which was felt clear from stern to stem OF
the train, causing the cars to rattle as though
they were mere paper toys, Then another

disappeared. Scouting parties are head

at the fight with Gen. Strange and left him

summer hunting and fishing. The latter is
less than thirty miles northeast. of Loon
lake. The Indians say the Muskeg, where
the general turned back, was passable, al
though difficult. Big Bear has $50 war;
riors under him. Little Prophet and his
brother continue to prosecute their pro-
porals of marriage to the Missis Mclean,
and announced their determination offorc-

Bears people are said to be starving. Pend
ing the return of the scouts SOHO fatigue
parties OF the troops were sent to test the
practica bility of cutting roads toward the
East. The wood Crees and the plain Crees
are said to be strained in their relations,
and the former are anxious for peace.

is among those mentioned as his successor.
Gen. Grant was greatly exhausted on the
day after reaching Saratoga, but he took a
walk. DR.. Douglas, in referring to the gen.
erals condition in connection with his
walk, expressed himself thus: "The disease
is following it's characteristic course, which
is course Of steadily increasing exhaus-
ton. We do not look for cure from this
change. Nothing can be a cure, but we do
hope to prolong his life, and that is the
most that can be expected. Under the ex-
hilarating effect of this atmosphere and Of
this cool day he has, for instance, walked
over there to the knoll. He might do that
easily and not be able to do the same to-
morrow or next day. The course of the
disease is, as said, one of increasing de.
biity.

American citizens who are too busy
to keep tbs run of discussion, and who
feel that rights and privileges are Sc
cured to them beyond all question,
under our form of government, may
awake some day to find these rights
most seriously invaded. Under the
specious plea of correcting evils OF
municipal government, strong infu-
snces are already arrayed in favor
of restricting suffrage in cities, on
questions relating to city affairs, by
affixing a property qualification to the
elective franchise, and by creating adj
ditional tests of eligibility to hold
office. Should this be accomplished
it Will be short step to more compre'
hensive restrictions-and all this in
fragrant disregard of the facts that in
this free country suffrage is based on
manhood and not money. 1t will be
we'll to watch and mark thsprogress o.
the new political heresy.

Family Names in Norway.
4. l. Perrin in lions Herald.

1. L. ferT1O III LlOus f1eralu
| Here at Laerdal mystery has been
unravcled. While waiting recently
! for a primitive shoemaker to sew up
rent, saw that he wanted to talk. I
seized the opportunity to make him tell
his grandfather's name, his fathers, his
own, his sons, his grandson's, and, in
the event, the possible names for his
"sonssonsson." I have been driven fu
rious in trying to discover relationships.
Grave-yards, even family grave-yards,
have given no clew. Now I have it
Suppose mans name is "Fritbjem."
That means he owns house and farm,
the name of which is Frithjem. Bear
in mind, the feudal system doesn't exist
in Norway, as in Sweden and in
measure all over Europe. In fact, the
last trace of rank and prerogative of any
kind was abolished IN 1921, Land is
not rented to the many 10y the few.
Each man owns his own land in this
thoroughly democratic country; or,
rather, more strictly speaking, the
land possesses that man for the time
and the farm gives him his name, say
Frithjem. Now the mans individual
name is Ole. His child is christened
Olaf, say. The rest of the child's name
is, not Frithjem, but "Ole's son." the
whole name is Olaf Oleson. The son
of this child, if christened Nil, will have
for whole name Nil Olafson. The "s'
OF the possessive genitive is sometimes
retained, making the possible name of
the latters son, Ole Nilsson. In this
swinging back and forth of Ole Nilsson
and Nil Oleson among the apparently
unconnected sons and grandsons who
have no name in common, the name Of
Frithjem is lost sight of except as the
name Of the farm and of the old man.
When he dies, the son who keeps the
farm. generally the eldest, receives the
name-the only Unbeatable title in the
land. The other children 60 off to
America nowadays, or perhaps a son
builds a house on some hitherto consid-
cred inaccessible ledge, and having first
named the farm, receives from it fam
lily name. If he doesn't found colony
he never has any "other name" Fright
full work for genealogists! The daugh-
tiers signify their relationship by put
ting datter on the end of their fathers
first name; as Johanna Nilslatter. OF
course, in the cosmopolitan cities, the
modern European fashion has to great
extent supplanted the older; but the
foregoing dissertation explains the fact
that about every body's name ends In
son or sen, Anglicized The letter is
neither 20" nor re" but distinct letter
IN the Norwegian alphabet. This also
helps explain the abundance of names
which community of 100 inhabitants
may have, according as the speaker
calls the place by the name of the
church, of the promin ant feature in the
landscape, or Of the farm which after
his notion is the most important in the
place.

The Cost of Living,

One Of the most perplexing questions
in political economy is that of the cost
of living. It enters into many other
CUES tions, and hitherto it has been con-
sidered nearly impossible to reach right
figures as to the cost of living. We
10 not assume chat this has been cor
rectly done even yet, but an effort has
been made in that direction. The
trouble with all such estimates is that
the data varies. That is, in times Of
prosperity more is expended on living
than in times OF adversely. Edwin
Atkinson has gathered some data,
which, however, is too meager to ad-
NIT OF its being regarded of great I'M
portance. 1t is start, however in that
direction and points to a feasible
methed for ascertaining the result.
He selected a town in Massachusetts
and one in Maryland to experiment.,
and both sexes were included in the es::
innate. The cost in the Massachusetts
town was something larger than that
in Maryland; but the two were aver
aged, and On this basis the estimate
was extended to the entire population
The several classes OF population were
included and the experiment continued
six months. Thus it will be seen that
the data is imperfect, owing to the
limited character Of the experiment.
But, so far as it goes, it is very sug-
gestive, 1t renders it easy to form a
pnoximate opinion Of the cost of living
m average comfort in this country.
The cost per individual is %. IS cents
per day--in Maryland it being 1917
cents, and IN Massachusetts % cents
q day. This makes $S6.S1 per year.
a. family of five at this rate can live for
434 05. This includes, however, cnly
the food. Meat, poultry, fish, dairy,
eggs, flour, meal, vegetables, sugar.
syrup, tea, coffee, fruit green and dry.
salt, spice, ice, etc., make up the items.
House rent. clothing and the inciden-
tails, aside from food, are not included.
AS these figures are based on the cost
of living Of mechanics and servants, it
will be seen that the average is low.
1t shows, however, that our working
classes live fairly we'll so far as the
element of food is concerned, But it
also proves that an average Of at least
So a day must be earned to support
family of five, Also, that 81, $40 ,OOO,-
600 are annually expended by our So
900, 600 Of population for food alone.
In no country in the world do the people
average so high in the cost of living.
Good living promotes health, and is
sign of intelligence. Were people so
poverty stricken as to be compelled to
live poorly, the effect on tile nation
would be bad. Whether we advance
in the better elements of civilization or
retrograde, depends on our living.

1oS=a University Exercises.

On account of the special exercises in tho
celebration of the twenty fifth anniversary
OF the reorganization OF the state univer-
sity at Iowa City, ap unusually large 9n ny =
Der OF alumni and strangers were in ATTEND
ance. Chancellor Ross's address to the law
class was on the subject 1.-THE Law School"
After discussing the three modes OF the
study OF law, namely: alone, in the law Of
flee, and in the school, he stated the great
advantages OF the last method, making an
effective appeal for the law school, which
he considered an institution peculiar to our
time and country. He spoke Of the fact
that only one-half Oh one per cent. Of the
white male population of the United STATES
are college graduates, yet OF this small por-
-tion. 80 per cent. are congressman and sc
per cent. senators. He inferred that the
training Of the law school wo4qltd DO foE
lawyers what the collegiate EDUCATION did
for others.
At 4oclock in the afternoon occurred the
military exercise of the university. A bat
TALON salute OF seventeen guns were fired by
the battery in honor OF Gov. Sherman fol-
lowed by the review OF the battalion by the
governor and board of regents. In the even
ing were held the anniversary exercises OF
the literary societies.

On June 1, 1880, the population OF
the United States was 5O,152,866.
According to the rate of increase be-
tween 1870 and 1880 our population
now June, 1857 is $500, FOG.
On June 1, 1890, should the country
not be overtaken by some great Ca
ia,nity, the population of the United
States will foot up Sc, 452, $40. The
aggregate OF population present and
prospective, is entirely satisfactory,
but many pretentious localities will
not be satisfied with the results at
home as shown by official figures.
Cities that have been claiming from
100000 to 100000 people do not
like to lower their claims made UP
from school and diFect tory figures and
guess work, but they azs often com,
peeled to submit to what might wei
have been avoided by . little modssty
and moderation.

Dangerous Illness of Senator Sabin.

A report from saltwater, says: It is
greatly feared by the family and friends that
Senator sabin is struggling with his fatal
illness, For nearly a week the senator had
been indisposed, but continued at his daily
cares until Sunday afternoon, 14th, when
he yielded and took to his bed. A physi-
clan was summoned who, after a careful
diagnosis, warned the family that Mr.. Sab
in was very dangerously i'll, pronouncing
the ailing inflammation of the bowels. At
the request of the family, newspapers re-
trained from publishing the facts until it
became certain that concealment was USE
less. 1t was discovered by the attending
physicians that two assesses were forming
in the right side, and then they ptono unced
the disease typhilitis- complaint in witch
recovery is very uncertain, Ever since his
prostration the senator has lain upon his
back in 9qpstant and 'gleepless ;Alg!99ny of
pain, unable to take anything but q snaall
amount Of liquid nourishment, and wasted
away until he seems a mere skeleton. Each
dav lis found his condition still more
alarming, ana t t,,aa physicians, in order to
prepare her for the worse, informed Mrs'
Sabin that they feared that there was little
or no chance for his recovery,
