The rivalry and feud between the
Norwegians and Swedes seem mex
tinguishable. Norway chafes at be-
ing, for all practical purposes, mere
province Of Sweden. Different in
language, customs and traditions from
their rulers, they cannot reconcile
themselves to Swedish dominion.
Disaffection is gradually spreading;
socialism is striking root among the
descendants Of the fierce old vikings.
There are in spite of this some pros
poets of federation Of the Scandi-

discontents Of the Norwegians are
likely to make somewhat doubtful.

About Games Now Being Ar
ranged.
Another indoor base ball game is on
the books for tonight. The teams from
Companies B and l, both of Minneap-
oils, Will cross bats at the armory. The
B boys have been doing a good deal of
practice work of late and are deter
mined to win a game. They have not
won yet and it will give them more than
satisfaction to win the first game off the
l men, the leaders of the regiment
league. Company rs team has not lost
game yet.
The boys are getting so they feel
their oats on this game of indoor base
ball. They are anxious for other worlds
to conquer: There are a good many
professional ball players in the city, like
Foster, Hengle and Dugdale, who have
an idea that it is an easy thing to play
indoor base ball when once one has
played the outdoor game. They are
organizing team to play some of the
local teams already in the field. The
Company team will give them game
as soon as they are ready to have the
ball pitched. Such game should prove
exciting, as the | boys are good players.
The city Of Chicago has gone wild OIL
the game of indoor base ball. There
are several leagues down there. One of
the teams is trying to arrange a game
with the Company L team of Minneap-
oils. The honor Of the convention city
will be at stake in few weeks when
the Minneapolis men go down to show
the Windy City men how to play bail.

now is the one of expense. If the reser-
vOir had beer put in the first place all
would nave been well. Now it would
cost good deal Of money. But the
men who favor the idea say that it
would not cost much more than to put
in pumps to make the city absolutely
safe with direct pressure system. SUI
