Ellen Anderson, of Minneapolis, had
her shoulder fractured and was other
wise injured by riding her bicycle of
the bluff near Fort Smelling. She was
riding with the Misses Williams at the
time. She rode off the road which runs
along the edge of the bluff and fell so
feet. She remained on her bicycle,
which landed in tree and broke the
force of her fall, after which she fell
to the earth below. Her companions
summoned DR.. Darling from the fort,

Principal Events that Have Occurred In

or So just Past.

The Scandinavian Total Abstinence
convention in Gothen burg was attend
ca by 1000 delegates from Sweden, 100
from Norway, 25 from Denmark and a
lew from other European countries
and America. The Scandinavian dele
gates represented about $50, 600 men,
bers of Total Abstinence organizations.
The convention took place in the Beth
lehem church. which has seating ca
pacity of 5000, and which was pro-
fusely decorated for the occasion. Mr..
Styrlander, Good Templar and men,
Der of the riksdag, was made perma-
nent chairman, and several delegates
from the different Scandinavian coun-
tries were elected vice presidents.
From the very start it became evident
that the Swedes were very solicitous
about perfecting strong organizations,
while the Norwegians> emphasized
strong personal conviction as the
greatest safeguard against the drink
habit. One of the events of the con-
vention was lecture by Sven Aarre-
stad (Norwegian) against the famous
Gothenburg system. His arguments
we're pointed and clear-cut. But that
did not deter DR.. Holm Norwegian
and Editor Hedlund (Swede) from de-
tending the Gothenburg system. But
as soon as Aarrestad again obtained
the floor he proved to be surprisingly
we'll prepared for the battle, meeting
his opponents at every point with cold
facts and finally carrying practically
the whole audience over to his side.
The greatest excitement was caused
by the demand of the Swedish society
Verdandi for universal political suf-
frage. P. P. Waldenstrom, the chief
of the Mission Friends, was conspicu-
Gus at the convention. Rev. Wiesel-
gren, the apostle of temperance in
Sweden, was buried in Gothenb burg,
and the convention marched in a body
to his grave, where wreaths and flow
crs were deposited. The convention
made powerful impression upon the
population of Gothenburg, and tenn
perance sermons were preached in all
the churches of the city
