ST. Olaf of NORWAY.

Ancnt the recent reported comforting
of the decoration Of st. Olaf by the king
Of Norway upon United States Senator
knute Nelson. a brief sketch of the
life, of Olaf may not be uninteresting
says the st. Paul Globe. Born in Nor
way. but educated an exile, he became
king in 10l5 A. d., and his reign lasted
until 1880. He was Christian. but led
viking life. fighting in England against
King Canute During his reign he forced
the Christian religion upon his people
even to the extent of furnishing resist
ance with exile and cont1scation Of
property. He became so unpopular that
when Norway was invaded by the great
Canute, many joined the invaders. Olaf
was defeated and fled to Russia. Re-
turning and again taking up arms, he
was defeated and killed at Sickelsbad,
July 20. 1890. In 1881 a large conven-
ton of clergymen and laymen declared
him saint. His remains were dug up
and deposited in the cathedral at Nj
daros, where many miracles afterward
took place and which was the mecca Of
many pilgrims. 1t was in his honor

of the order from different parts of the
county The ceremony of initiation
was conducted by the county officers OF
i, the order, and was very Systematically
carried out.
After the close Of the meeting an ad
journment was taken to the A. o. H.

The banquet was under the direction

ans, and to say that the arrangements
were complete and that the spread sur
passed anything OF the kind ever at
mildly putting it.
In securing SO large class, the Hi
bernians of Rosemount have again dem
onstrated what can BE done by little
effort, and we sincerely trust that their
efforts may be initiated by the divisions
throughout the state.
Some excellent Nhdhghts We're ex-
pressed by the membeps who addressed
the meeting, before and after the initia-
ton.
In his address to tho. candidates before
the initiation, the county president said
in part:

America is an organization of American
citizens, Irish by Birth or Irish by de-
scent. Its principles are these, which,

taken as extending beyond the present

Towne says:

Democratic Reform Politics.

At the state capitol, during another
week, there have been numerous events
political bearing for the encourage
ment of those having the care and keep

Democrat, Populist, or any other reform
ally is just as capable of performing the
public service as member of the G. O.

the accompanying salary.
The only additional appointments
made by Gov. Lind to this date were for
the boards of corrections and charities,
and for normal schools, as follows:
Corrections and Charities-Prof w.

w. Willis, st. Paul.

Dubois, Stearns, and G. A. Nye, Clay.

of the Minneapolis park board, and one
of the university faculty, was one Of
the strong forces quietly at work for the
reform cause in Hennepin. Judge Will

man in the state for the union cause,
and made the Democratic race in the
Fourth district for congress. Mr.. Butler,
of Ramsey, took active part in the cam
paign, as in previous ones, while DR..
Du Bots is one of the pioneer reformars
of Stearns county, and has done great
work in organization in that part of the
state. Mr.. Norby is publisher of the
Norman County Herald, one of the
strong reform papers of the state. Mr..
Nye is brother of the late Bill Nye,
and of Minneapolis, also 'late" politi-
