Swedish Colonization.

How far the project OF establishing colo
MES of Swedes in Vermont might have been
successfully carried out cannot be known
for certainty, inasmuoh as it was aban-
donsd, partially owing to the prsjudiosd
clamor that was raised against it but
principally owing to the adjustment Of the
Office OF State commissioner Of i'm migration.
That the project was entirely feasible, II
not advisable, has been fully demonstrated
by the experience of Maine.

New Masouic Handbook for Vermont


The new Masonic handbook, which has
been prepared under the auspices of the
grand lodge OF Vermont and printed and
bound by toe FREE Press association, will
soon be ready for delivery. After careful
examination and comparison with other
Masonic monitors and text-b books which
have heretofore been issued and edited by
the ablsst and best posted Masons in the
country, we unhesitatingly say that this
new handbook for Vermont is supe-
rior TO any of them, and we believe
it is the best work OF the kind
extant. Every Free Mason can obtain ne W
light in Masonry by careful perusai of it.

The National Guards and the
Worlds Fair.

The latest accounts from Chicago show
that there will probably be no military dis
play Ct any size during the worlds fair;
and as Congress did not appropriate any
funds for the purpose, it is not expected
that any number OF United States troops
will be present. Many OF the States have
accordingly decided that they will not send
their National guardsmon to Chicago. Ad-
iutant General Peck has received a commu-
nication from Lieut.. Henry Barrett Cham
berlain, secretary OF the committee on the
worlds fair encampmsnt of the Illinois Ma
tional Guard association, to the effect
that the committee have found 1t ex.
pedient to withdraw the circular, which re-
lated to the national encampment, owing to
complications which have arisen regarding
the possession of the property on which it
was intended to sncamp the troops. Thi,
probably ends the whole business, at least
as far as Vermont is concerned; for we UNI
derstand that Gov. Fuller does not feel JUS
titled in ordering our troops to Chicago al
heavy expense to the State; when no other
State troops are likely to bs represented. Th,

ASKS FOR A GUARDIAN.

Two years ago, John Stefferson, who
lives in Lincoln township, decided to
sell his farm of l20 acres. He is
widOwer and his sons reside in Nor
way and he wanted to pay his debts
and join them. The farm was placed
in the hands of j. E. Swenson, of
Lake Crystal, to sell, and number of
offers were received. About three
weeks ago Gilbert Gutterson offered
$4,000 for the land and buildings, and
as it was the highest offer received
the sale was made. The farm was
incumbered and Mr.. SteffersonI owed
other accounts, but with the $4,000
he was able to pay all of his debts and
still have $500 left. He has not been
well lately, and several of his neigh
bors, including Hebran Olson, con-
cluded that the farm was sold too
cheap and was worth at least $500,
and have asked that guardian be ap-
pointed for the old gentleman. Heb
ran Olson wants to be his guardian,
and has retained d. A. Reed, Of Lake
Crystal, as his attorney. Mr.. Steffer-
son has retained Pfau & Young, and
the application for the appointment
of a guardian came up before Judge
Torrey Friday afternoon. Mr.. Olson
points to the sale of the farm as evil
dence of mental weakness on Mr..
Stefferson's part. The latter's friends
are opposed to the appointment of a
guardian and claim that Mr.. Olson is
putting himself forward in the mat
ter too conspicuously.
Evidence was taken Friday afternoon
showing that Stefferson is incapable
of transacting his own affairs, and Mr..
Oleson was appointed his guardian.
An action will next be brought in the
district court to set aside the trans
fer of the farm.
