Mrs. II. O. Wickre returned Friday
from her sad errand to Norway, Iowa.
We clip the following biographical
sketch OF her father from the Norway
News:
tIolger Strand died Saturday, April
IL, 1897, at the home of his sister, Mrs.
Lars Tow, aged 65 years. He had been
in failing health for about two years but
his illness never took q dangerous form
until two weeks ago.
Mr.. Strand was born at Strand, Nor
way, Europe, Eareh IL, 1882, and cams
to this country last September To visit
his children, brothers, sisters relatives
and friends. Two Of his sisters he had
sot seen for forty years. He expected
TO return to his native land in the sum
mer. He was married in 1856 To Serine
Fossan who died in August, 1895. He
il survived by nine children, five OF
whom are in Norway, Europe. The
others are Mrs. Wickre OF ) d., Thors-
tine Bertinius and Harbo Strand OF this
place, who were oil with him al the
list. The funeral services were held On
Tuesday at the Friends church under
conduct OF the Friends. He was buried
IN the Norway cemetery By the side of
his brother Lars who died while ia tho
Union army. Mr.. Strand was a prom
inent and influential citizen in his native
land. He owned a large farm and was
interested in the shipping and fishing in
terests OF his country. He was a faithfT
lifelong member of the Lutheran churca
and when the final came he
passed quietly and peacefully away,
leaving his friends and relatives the
comforting thought that through the
merits and mcrcies OF our God and
Savior he was enabled to reach that
condition he 80 earnestly longed for.

MAIL TRAIN HELD UP,
Robbery on the Northern Pacific Nen1
MOOrhead.

Fargo, N. D., Sept. 27-About one
o'clock Sunday morning the west
bound coast train on the Northern Pa
cific was held up three miles east of
Moorhead, MINI. Three masked men,
who had been riding on the blind bag
gage, crawled over the tender and COM
PEELED the engineer to stop the train,
while two others brought the conductor
and brakeman out at the same time.
The engine and mail car were cut off
and run up the track a short distance,
where the registered packages in the
latter were looted and the train crew
robbed of their ready cash.
The robbers evidently made q mis-
take and did not take the express car,
as intended, and their haul was prob
ably not large. They had 20 pounds of
dynamite and there must have been
eight or ten men implicated, as passen-
gers who attempted an investigation
were hustled back in the coaches at
the pistols point, though none was
robbed. Posses have been securing the
country and eight arrests have been
made, though no eliminating evidence
has been found on the prisoners.

GoLD-sEEkERs SUFFER.
Coming OF Winter Forces Many "a
Abandon Dyen and Skagqay.

Tacoma, Wash. Sept. 27.-There is
terrible suffering on the Skaguay and
Dyea trails in consequence of winters
setting in. The rainstorm that pre-
vailed there last week was extremely
severe upon the gold seekers, who were
scattered along the way. The storms
have destroyed their provisions and
many are left with scarcely enough dry
food for another meal and without
money to return home. Passengers
who arrived on the City of Seattle Sat-
urday morning estimate that there are
from 600 to 1000 men on the two trails
who have not the means to purchase
tickets back to Puget sound. Their
statements are corroborated by letters
received by the same steamer. A small
number. of these men may find work at
Skaguay, but for the great majority
there will be nothing to do for months.
Many of them are poorly equipped to
stand the weather even now prevailing,
which ranges from constant rain on the
coast to ice and snow on the summit.
Skaguay river is a raging stream no
longer fordable, and wherever there is
any soil the mud is now knee-deep.
Men who returned to Skaguay just be-
fore the storm found many of their fell
lows who broke down and wept as they
related the story of their misfortunes.
An immense quantity of provisions has
been destroyed by the storms. The men
who arrived say that -four, bacon,
beans, apples and dried fruits may
be seen scattered along both trails be-
tween the coast and the summit. Two
men from California worked hard pack
ing their outfits over, but at the end of
six weeks they gave up on the summit.
The rain has already destroyed part of
their provisions.

Emancipation Day at Nashville.

Nashville, Tenn, Sept. 23.-Emanci-
patton day at the centennial was one of
the best days of the fair. Early in the
morning large delegations of colored
citizens come into the city from neigh
boring towns and smaller delegations
from Washington, d. c.; Louisville,
KY, and other northern and eastern
points. Fully 10000 negroes were on
the grounds. The programme was an
enjoyable one, and those who took part
in it'were men of unusual ability. Chief
Hill, of the negro department, presided
over the meeting. After several mu-
steal selections Booker T. Washington,
president of the Tuskegee normal
school ofAlabama, spoke. His address
was stirring one. After the exercises
the crowds witnessed the field sports
prepared for the occasion, including
fancy drill by company G, the only col
ored company of militia in the state.

Fever Quarantine I'm south Hurts
Business-The Favorable Features.
New York, Sept. 25. - Bradstreet's
says:
There is a check to the inward sweep Of
demand in staple lines noticeable through
out the country for the past six weeks. The
yellow fever quarantine, which extends
from Texas to Georgia, has brought whole
sale business to a practical standstiIl
throughout the greater portion of the re-
gion embraced by the gulf states. At CEN
ters of distribution in eastern, middle and
central western states, the recent activity
in dry goods, hats and hardware had fallen
off, but at the northwest and on the Pacific
coast buying by interior merchants and the
free distribution Of merchandise continue
to be features. Demand for heavy textile
fabrics has been stimulated by colder
weather, and st. Louis merchants say the
yellow fever scare will have no effect upon
trade in that city, as southern merchants
had supplied themselves there before the
quarantine was enforced. The outlook for
business in parts of Texas, Arkansas, Ten
nessee and Georgia Is for much duller
season than had been expected. Favorable
features Of the week are found in sharp ad-
vances in prices for iron and steel, heavy
sales of Bessemer pig iron, steel billets and
rails and q prospect that iron and steel
prices will go higher in the near future.
Wool is also higher and woolen goods for
1898 delivery are up ten and Is per cent,
with the outlook favoring a further ad-
vance. The increased volume of general
trade is also stimulated by the continu-
Gus heavy movement Of cereals to
tide water, the almost unprecedented large
quantities exported each week and the in
creased number of people finding employ
ment in industrial and commercial lines as
compared with a year ago, together with
the tendency of gold to come here from

Juan ApRriciO Killed by order of

Guatemala's Ruler.
San Francisco, Sept. 27.-Tbe fol-
lowing dispatch was received here
Saturday: "Labertad .Sa n Salvador Sept.
24.-Barrios ordered the shooting of
Juan Aparacio in the city of Que
saltenago on the day that the
revolutionists took San Marons. A
telegram received Saturday by one of
the leading merchants of this city gives
the news that Morales and his 12 900 to
$4,000 victorious troops are in Antique" :"
Juan Aparacio was the most promin-
ent exporter and importer in Central
America. whose house is represented in
London, Paris and New York. This
news was confirmed by dispatch re-
ceived from Aparacio's business house
in New York. Members of the Central
American colony in this city say that if
Barrios is bold enough to cause the
murder of so eminent man as Aparacio
he will not hesitate to carry out whole
sale slaughter among the people who
oppose him.
No cause is assigned in the news re-
ceived here for the killing of Aparacio.
but there is every reason to believe that
he was shot because he refused TO give
moral and financial aid to Barrios.
The greatest CONSERVATION prevailed
in the Central American colony in this
city when the news of Aparicio's death
was received here. Owing to the great
prominence and wealth of the victim
it seemed hardly credtable that Bar
rios would go to the extremity of put
ting him to death

The constitutionality of Iowa's new
anti-cigarette law is to be tested in New
ton. Peter Gottard, a restaurant keep
er, was fined $25 and costs for selling
cigarettes. He claims that a box Of

he is therefore entitled to sell them un-

1t is understood the cigarette trust will
