WASHINGTON, May 1.-"Why was 1t
that the greatest maritime nation in
proportion to size in the whole history
of the world was not asked to partici-
pate in the great naval review at New
York;" This is the question that the
only Norwegian member OF congress
present in New York last week proposes
to ask the authorities, and Investigate.
Congressman Ii. E. Boen, CT the Sew
enth Minnesota, was this nan, and
as he stood on the deck of the
Monmouth, the guest of the nation, last
Thursday, while feeling proud OF his
adopted country, his Seafarlng blood
fairly boiled when he saw no vessels
present from Norway and Sweden.
NOrsemen in all ages, he felt that
great mistake had been made by some
one. Whether Secretary Tracy, of
the administration that retired
two months ago, gave no no.
tice, or else insufficient notice.

Sweden, the fact remains that it seemed
strange indeed that the land of the

continent, as we'll as the land OF John
Ericsson. whose monument was un-
yelled at New York ouly day or two
before the review should not be repre-

CAUGHT IN COURT.

The first of six criminal cases brought
before the district court yesterday
morning was that of Frank HaZeltOn
for seduction. Mr. Nye arose at the
call and stated that, after conference
with the trial judge On the matter, ne
was of the opinion that it would be bad
policy to have a second trial OF the
case, considering the expense to the
county. The young man will be free to
do as he lists from this time on, as far
as the accusation is concerned.
Nils GjeigerSen was arraigned, indict-
ed for adultery with Kan Olson. wife of
Nils Olson, July 10 of last year. He
pleaded not guilty. Bail was fixed at
$500, and in default of bail he was re-
manded to await trial.
The state moved for sentence in the
case of William Blackwell, the cOlored
man who pleaded guilty and finally had
a trial by the order of the court for the
reason he pretended that his attorney
had urged him to plead guilty. He was
given a refOrmatOry sentence.
The public will remember the action
brought some time ago by Mrs. Sarah
Farr against Fred Koffend, in which she
claimed that he had managed to secure
an undue influence over her, and while
in that condition she transferred to him
her property. The action was tried. and
the jury returned verdict in favor of
defendant. 1t now tranSplreS that III a
few days all argument for a new
trial will be made. in which the claim
will be made that the verdict of
the jury was contradictory. When the
Judge gave the case to the jury he SUBJ
mitted two questions for that body to
answer. The first was as to whether or
not Mrs. Farr was under the influence
OF Kotfend. and that was answered in
the affirmative. The second question
was whether or not Koffend had used
that influence over her. and had not
given consideration for the property
transferred. This was answered in the
negative. The attorneys claim that the
two answers could not be possible, as
they were against each other. The case
created quite 4 sensation at the time 1t
was tried.

WORKS IN AND OUT.
Che New Transfer System Takes
Effect.

The new transfer ordinance of the
Twin City Rapid Transit company went
into effect yesterday, and all day
throng of people put to severe test the
new transfer depot at No. 100 Hennepin
avenue. The seeming red tape of the
thing comes to light when, to take an
example, one deScends from a Nicollet
avenue car with the intention OF trans
ferring to Hennepin, to find the Hen
nepin just within reach, and yet be
obliged to get time-punched ticket OF
admission to get in at one door, ,and then
have to secure another to get out the
other entrance to take the Hennepin car.
The force Of men in charge of the
depot number nine, four for transfers,
two receivers, and two stamperS and
starter. The starter is stationed OH
lookout and calls off the names of the
cars as each approaches, and the direc-
ton in which they are bound. The
depot is roomy aad has seats placed
about, but it was noticeable yesterday
that few cnOse to sit. 1t is, however,
difficult to see just how the enormous
lake crowds of the coming season are to
be handled without Inconvenience and
much DIundering.

CLUB HOUSE IMPERILED
BY Wind and Water at Lake Min
netOnLSa

netonka.
A report was current yesterday after
noon that the high water at Lake Min
netonka had washed away the f0uGda-
tions of the Minnetonka Yacht club
house and had sent the structure adrift
in ST. Louis bay. Investigation proved
that the rumOr was untrue and that the
club house was still standing. although in
great danger from the wind and the
waves. For the past few weeks the water
has been rapidly encroaching upon the
little island on which the club house is
located until it has buried beneath its
waves the whole side of the island
which fronts the big lake. Old inhab-
itants say that with things in the pres
ent condition stiff wind from the north
west driving down the long sweep of the
big lake would probably tear the club
house loose from its moorlngS and set 1t
a0rift. Mr.. Austin, Of Summervllle,
says that the water at MinnetOnka has
never been so high since 1880. The
waves, he says. are tearing away at the
the loose sand and gravel island which
forms the foundation Of the club house,
and are sure, as the water keeps on
rising every day, to eventually under

forms the site of the club house is
chiefly of artificial formation.
Aside from the intrinsic value and
beauty of the club house, there is much
depending upon it for the success of
this summers carnival of sports.
The high water is doing much other
damage about the lake. At Summerville
one Of Mr.. Austin's cottages, known as
the Tenney cottage, which has low
lawn sloping down to the shore, is in
danger. The shore line has been liven
with stone work, but the water has en-
croached over this, and Mr.. Austin has
arranged plank rip-rapping, which, he
believes, will break the force OF the
water and prevent further damage.
G. M.oLoring thinks the dam should
be cut down to the proper level of the
lake. thus letting out the surplus water.

Growing Hogs as a Business.

The Indiana Farmer says: Long
ago successful hog growers found that
it was as necessary to employ careful
methods in this business as in any
other farm economy. All is not ac-
complished when you geta pure breed
and popular strain, though this is
essential to begin with. There is lit
tie use of procuring the best unless
one recognizes the fact that good care
has as much bearing on success with
them as it has with beef cattle or dairy
cows. Dirty pens, and anything
which comes handy for feed, will never
bring hog to profitable market.
Do not make the hog eat a bushel of
filth in order to procure his bushel of
grain. A clean feeding floor is not
difficult to have, and the grain will go
further and the health of the hogs will
be better for having it. Dish water
does not quench the thirst as a good
supply of pure cold water will,
Mouldy corn is not 'just as good" fol-
the hogs as sound corn. A damp,
musty pile of straw does not make
them good bed A muddy barn.
yard is not as good run for them as
a hard, clean field. A pasture filled
with weeds, and not much of anything
else, will not keep them in as good
condition as good clover field. II
may be difficult to get some of these
things through the heads of some mer
who keep hogs, but if it is not accomp'
lished they are bound to be losers and
they will be losers, also, If they do not
get over the old idea that a hog must
be well on the way to old age before
he is ready for market. Ten months
at the very outside, is as long as you
can afford to have him OH your hands
II he will not turn off at profit ther
he never will.

CURIOUS BATTLE
BETWEEN GROWN SNAKE AND
HALF- GROWN CHICKEN
Sight Witnessed in the Independ

A curious sight was witnessed in
the Independence (Ky.) Courthouse
yard.
A half-grown chicken swallowed
an l6-inch striped snake. The battle
between chicken and snake lasted for
nearly an hour and finally the former
came out winner.
Swallowing live snake Is inches
in length is certainly not an easy task.
Mrs. Captain Willis Cox witnessed
the novel encounter. Her daughter
stood by her side. and they saw the
battle from start to finish.
The snake vigorously resisted the
attack, and when the chicken started
on his head first made it lively for the
fowl, Finally the chicken secured a
firm hold on the snakes tail, and il
did not let go until the whole snake
was swallowed.
Mrs. Cox says she never saw more
determined or gamer chicken. 1t is
just common hen raised by her in
in the Courthouse yard. The snake
would attack the chicken about the
head with its mouth and the chicken
would claw it's head loose with one
foot.
The snake is no more, but the
chicken lives 10 celebrate the victory,
and it is monarch of all it surveys.
Captain Cox, who is Deputy United
States Marshal, located at Covington,
