the Celebration at New Sweden.

Caribou, June 25.-Just 25 years ago
today a colony of 81 Swedes under the
leadership of Hon. WV. Thomas, Jr,
who was then Maine Commissioner of
Immigration, and who has twice since
been the American minister to Sweden,
sailed from Gothenburg for Northern
Maine, and settled in what is now
known as New Sweden, then an unbrok-
en- wilderness, and in New Sweden today
there are III Swedes, while in the adjoin-
ing townships are 735 more, making a
total of 1852

IGNORES JUDGE AANtoRD's ORDER
Judge jenkins Proposes to Maintain
Jurisdiction Over the Receivers.

Milwaukee, Sept. 23--All doubts of the
intention of Judge Jenkins to maintain
jurisdiction over the Northern Pacific re-
ownership and of the receivers acknowl-
edging his jurisdiction and disregarding
the order of the Seattle court were re-
moved when Judge Jenkins entered an
order requiring all parties with prefer
entail claims arising from the receivers
operation of the Wisconsin Central lines
and the terminal properties at Chicago
to make answer to the petition of the re-
ceivers regarding the adjustment OF
claims by November /.
The petition is in effect that the court
divide the claims equitably between the
Northern Pacific, the Wisconsin Central
and the Chicago & Northern Pacific and
that in the meantime the receivers be
given permission to pay out a large sum
of money. All through, the petition
shows a total disregard of the Seattle
court and 1t is evident that the receivers
have elected to have the question of
Jurisdiction passed on In this way The
question of jurisdiction will be raised as
to the right of the court to allow the re-
ceivers to deal with such large sums as
are involved and there is little doubbt that
Judge Jenkins will find he has jurisdiction
as he has heretofore held.
This will insure the question being
brought squarely to the higher court fol-
decision.

WEALTHY TAXPAYERS PERJuRERs
So Saws the Illinois Bureau of Labor
Statistics.


Springfield, ILL.,, Sept. 23.-The most
sensational report ever issued by the
state bureau was made public tonight
by the Illinois bureau of labor sta
tistics.
1t charges that the great majority Of
wealthy taxpayers of Illinois and more
especially of Chicago are perjurers:
that the assessors are guilty of NAL
feasance in office and the bad financial
condition of Chicago Is traceable to
the corrupt system of taxation, and
the deplorable condition of the work is
due to the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. methods
of taxation which prevails in Illinois.
The stand is taken that 1t Is idle to
| dwell upon the wages and condition Of
the average wage earners of the state.
The bureau contends that their con-
dition sis proved by evidence so clear
and abundant that the compilation Of
any further statistics would be vast.

THE FINEST TEAM OF ATHLETES

London, Sept. 22.-In commenting upon
the contest in New York on Saturday be-

Club and the New York Athletic Club,
the Standard says:
ut is impossible to conceive of anything
more disastrous than the experience of
the English athletes. 1t would be pre-
posterous to attempt to explain in any
way such a defeat. Even If all of our
best men had been present and in the fin

1Otdl. .1AZO. 4iSSz
Referring to the prospects of the fu-
ture, Captain Hoyt, the representative
of the quartermaster's department who
has been in charge of the work ever
since it was begun, said recently: 'It
is calculated that something like $685.
900 will have been expended when the
entire post Is completed. The regula-
ton buildings now up are designed for
the use of the full regiment, and moth
ing will be added to them. The build
ings yet to be built are additional bar
racks and officers quarters"
The figures given will present an idea
of the way the government does bust
ness. The work done is complete in
every particular. The barracks are
handsomely finished in hardwood, and
are supplied with every modern con-
venience, in the way of sanitary and
labor saving appliances, that could be
suggested.
The buildings are duplicated in de-
sign, but the effect Is not monotonous.
The exterior finish is a departure from
the old method, and the architecture
is up to date. The bakery, even, is not
of the least of the buildings. 1t has a
capacity of 800 rations at one baking.
There are separate buildings for all
the departments, and each is complete
and ornate in itself. The quarters of
the hospital steward, for instance, cost
more than the homes of the average
professional man in moderate circum-
stances in the ordinary walks of life.
They are fitted with furnaces and cleo
trio lights, and are built to last for all
time to come.
The available funds for the work this
year were $250,000 The remainder, a
little less than $4,000, will be expended
during the next few weeks for furniture
and supplies of permanent nature
that go to make an army post COM
plete.
Another thing that is worthy of COM
mendation is the fact that not one of
the contracts failed to be completed in
the time specified in the bond. There
were no extensions of time and in
several instances the work was accept
ed and the full payments made before
the full time was up.
