4 Big Reception.

Rev. F. ]. Bergman, OF Gardar, arriv.
ed on Saturdays train from five
months visit to Iceland. He was met at
the depot by a number of his relatives
and friends who were much pleased a,
his safe return from such long and
dangerous journey.
Rev. Bergman has been ailing in
health for several years past. He has
been one of the most active workers for
the welfare and advancement of the Ice.
land Lutheran chulch in this country
and in its cause has sacrificed that which
is most dear to man, his health. When
he took leave of his friends last spring,
there were many who entertained grave
doubts as to his ever returning alive.
But he has. returned to them safe and
sound, his appearance bearing marked
evidence of better health.
The reception given him on the night
of his return by his congregation at
Garder was grand success.
At o'clock p. m. there had assembled
in the l. o. F. hail upwar,sof 200 peo-
pie to greet him and Did him welcome
home. Judging from the perfect happi-
ness that shone forth in the faces of those
present it was evident that they had
come to greet one whom they dearly
loved.
When the Reverend had shaken each
individual by the hand, and said some
word of comfort to all, the Gardar Sym
phony Band under the leadership of
Prot. S. X. Hall, rendered several choice
selections after which supper was serv-
ed by the young women of the Ladies'
Aid.
After supper, the chairman of the gath
ering, Mr.. H. Herman, announced the
regular program of the evening. In a
short speech he babe Rev. Bergman well
come in the name of all present. The
program, as whole, was very creditably
rendered. Rev. Bergman's speech was,
of course, the principal feature. He gave
the audience vivid review OF the social,
political and religious condition of the
old country.7Edinburg Review.

STATE NEWS
MUST PAY FEES.
The Secretary of State Says When
Corporations Renew Their Char
ters They Must Pay Fees.

Secretary of State Dobson
that he will require corporations to
pay the regular filing fee of original
articles of incorporation when corpora
tons renew their charters. The attor-
ney-gencral has held otherwise, but Mr..
Dobson believes that it is only fair that.
r~eorganized corporations shall pay the
same fee for the state certificate as the
new ones. He will enforce the rule here
after unless the courts interfere. The
enforcement OF the rule will mean thou
sands of dollars to the state.
Mr.. Dobson says that the old corpora
tons did not have to pay any fee, prac-
tically, when they first filed their ar
%ticles, and there is no good reason why
they should have any advantage. To
all intents and purposes they are new
corporations when they renew their
charters. The secretary has decided
that they must go through the same
form as new corporations. They must
file their articles with the county re-
corders and then send them to the Sec
retary's Office, where they will be re-
corded anew. Mr.. Dobson will also look
up the old and new laws relating to the
powers OF corporations and their du-
ties to see if there are any changes nee
essary in the form of articles.

pines, was not vacated. In accordance
with that agreement the vote was

that several democrats who were pres

Vice President Hobart cast the decid-

Washington, Feb. 15.-The Nicaragua
canal bill was offered in the house Tues
day afternoon as an amendment to the
sundry civil appropriation bill by MI.
Hepburn (Ia.), chairman of the COM
mittee that reported it, and the leaders
on the respective sides are engaged in
a desperate struggle which involves the
fate of the measure at this session of
congress-. After Mr.. Cannon (Ill.),
chairman of the committee on appro-
p%riations, served notice last week that
there was no time for the consideration
of the canal bill at this session, the sup
porters of the measure decided to force
it on to the sundry civil bill as a rider
if possible. AS soon as it was offered
Tuesday afternoon Mr.. Cannon raised
four points of order against it, and one
OF the most interesting parliamentary
debates of the session was on. The de-
bate on the points of order lasted two
hours and was not concluded. Itprom-
ises to consume several hours to-day.
1t seems to be a %foregone conclusion
that the chairman of the committee of
the whole (Mr. Hopkins) will sustain
the points of order, SO that the real
test will come upon the question of
overruling the chair. Should the chair
be overruled there is no doubt that the
amendment will command a majority
of votes. About 20 pages of the bill
We're disposed of Tuesday. No impor-
