Lecture. on Norway.

The lecture on 1.-THE Land Of the
Midnight Sun" by Q. J. Saervold at
the Norwegian Lutheran church
Friday night was a great treat to
all present. The lecture itself was
highly instructive and entertaining.
Special attention was called to the
fact that Norway is rapidly
becoming the tavorite land Of the
tourist, who every summer by the
thousands from almost every civil
lied country on the globe are stream-
ing towards her fjords and valleys,
her islands and mountains, drawn
thither by Norway's many natural
phenomena, such as her towering
snow.capped mountains. her deep
and beautiful valleys, her long and
winding fiords, and last but not
least, her superb climate, and her
fascinating summer nights almost as
light as day. #
The lecture was illustrated by
over one hundred magnificent views
thrown on canvas from a very
powerful stereoptican. These views
weres from all the different parts c.
the land, both country and. city,, es-
pecially. the I, favorite routes and
haunts of the tourists. The last
view alone taken from North Cape,
'Europe's northern most point, look
ing directly north over the gently
ripping Arctic. ocean, wit h the mid
night sun high above the northern
horizon, was worth more than the
price OF the ticket. -. d.. ...2 ,.' .sFs

YANETON, s. D., Feb. 13.-The
coroner's inquest, which has been In
progress investigating into the cause
of the fire on Sunday at the state ays-
lum for the insane here. is not COM
pleted. Thus far no new facts have
been brought to light, but from the
evidence brought cut no one connected
with the Institution can be held blame
worthy for the fire.
Gov. Lee arrived in Yankton tonight
from Pierre, accompanied by President
Sibestol, of the board of charities ard
corrections, to ascertain what can be
done for the unfortunates who were
turned out Of a home by the fire A
legislative committee is expected in a

The burned building, which was
erected for laundry. the authorities
say, should never have been used as a
place in which to house patients. At
the time of it's erection the legislature
was asked for an appropriation suffi-
cient to build both a cottage and a
laundry. Five thousand dollars was
appropriated for the laundry, which
was built, and owing to the crowded
condition Of the other buildings, pa
tents were placed therein. The state
has lost by fire on public institutions

Early in the day the Pennsylvania railroad

Thrilling Experiences of a Party of
Five Who Were Carried Away.
CHICAGO, Feb. 13-After being adrift on an
Ice foe in Lake Michigan for over fifteen
hours the five people who were carried out
Sunday evening by the breaking Of the zee
were rescued. Young Arthur Fletcher, who
made a heroic effort to bring them ashore
in his boat, and who padded around all night
In the fratl craft, did not fare so we'll, both
his feet being badly frozen. 1t Is said that
he will be a cripple fer life. The names of
those saved are: Elmer d. Brothers. at
torney; Miss Oriel Manney II years old
niece Of Brothers; Chauncey Mannley
and Edward Mallory, students of Lake Forest
university, Lake Forest.
Miss Mannley was almost dead when the
life savers came. and for five hours after
she was brought to the land she did not re-
gain her senses. The physicians think she
will recover.
A peculiar feature Of the story Is that al
though Caron and Mallory were carried out
on the ice many miles from where Brothers
during the night while wandering around
the ice. The five people tramped up and
down all night in the effort to keep warm,
and finally, when Miss Manrley became un-
conscious, they made a bed for her OF their
overcoats Fletcher, who made such brave
effort to save them, reached shore somewhat
in advance of the others. His boat became
disabled, and he was forced to abandon the
effort to save any life but his own. He
suffered far worse than any OF the others.
Although but hoy, Fletcher has already
distinguished himself by acts of bravery,
having saved three lives within the last year,

in depth, suspending all traffic, tying ur

all outside communication by rail and caus-
ing untold suffering among the poor
The coal supply is particularly slender The
black diamonds are being sold grudgingly by
the bushel and dealers say the stock on hand
is exceedingly limited, while railroad condi-
tions make the outlook for shipments into the
city very gloomy.
1t was announced late in the afternoon that
the gas supply was being rapidly exhausted
from the reserve tanks, and the gas COM
panies' supply of coal was so slender that
1t would have to be husbanded most care
fully. Consequently the pressure was re-
duced. Many of the street lamps were not
lighted. The electric lighting companies,
however. are as yet maintaining service
While discomfort is general, even in the
homes of the well-to-do the police report that
the condition of the really poor particularly
the large colored population, Is pitiful in
the extreme. Every effort is being made by

to alleviate the suffering, but owing to the

accomplished. There has not been durine
