over the Union. But wherever they go
the sons and daughters of Yer
mont carry with them deep
and abiding love for the Green
Mountain States. All over the country
may be found associations of the Sons
and Daughters of Vermont. In the
other New England states alone there
are eight great societies of the kind,
with an aggregate of 100, 900 natives Of
Vermont who are eligible for member

So strong is the affection of the Ver-
mont man for his old home that prep
arations are now under way for a
great and unique celebration in honor
of it. In this celebration practically
the whole state of Vermont will take
part, and the state legislature, by spe-
cial enactment, has set apart the week
of Aug. 11-16 to be given up to it. In
v~ttations bearing the great seal of the
state and the signature of the governor
have been sent out to tens of thou
sands of natives bidding them come
back to the Green Mountains and join
with the stay-at-home population in
fitting celebration of "Old Home
Week" So general has been the re-
Spouse to these invitations that the
plans now under way provide for the
entertainment of than 100, 900 re-
turning prodigals. Nothing could fur
nish stronger proof of the fact that
sentiment is still one of the ruling

advantage was taken of a natural tun-

the world. The distance through this

In the record of the state during the
rebellion Vermont people find another
cause for just pride. When Sumter
was fired on Vermont had $1,000 en-
rolled militia. Out of this number
$4,000 promptly went into the Union
army. More than 5000 were killed and
as many more ruined by wounds and
disease. No other state suffered SO
great a loss in proportion. During the
whole war not a single Vermont regi-
ment gave up its colors in battle, and
what the Vermont man did at Bull
Run, Cedar Greek, the Wilderness, and
Gettysburg is a part of history. Yer

The Missing Girl is Found.

The mysterious disappearance of Miss
Helen F'ifield from her home in James
vile a week ago, leaving behind no trace
that would lead to her discovery and the
inability of the police and detectives to
locate her movements beyond Chicago,
has been the sensation of the week,
shared by the whole county. That a
beautiful young girl, refined and edu-
Gated, happily surrounded in her home,
should leave under cover of the night
without the slightest apparent reason, is
indeed mystery which all friends of
the family have aided in clearing away.
A dispatch received late Wednesday
evening dated from the depot at Buffalo
brings the welcome news that Miss FL
field is safe and we'll and the heavy sus-
pense is lifted. Until she arrives home
which she is expected to do to-day, and
an explanation made, the sensation will
not be cleared away.
Nothing further is known about her,
but her parents now conclude that she
went by boat, leaving Chicago last
Thursday morning. Her parents are
overloyed with the news and the home
has been besieged with friends congrat-
ulatlng them on the good news.

enjoyment of the club was left undone.
Launch rides, fire works. fishing, rowing
and many other forms of amusement,
made the time pass only too quickly.
Saturday evening unique surprise was
perpetrated, when Mr.. Earle brought
the Stoughton band to serenade the

First Norwegian Settlements.

In an article upon the Studies of
American Emigration" by Prof. r. B.
Anderson of Madison, published in the
Chicago-Record this week, appears the
following reference to the early Scandi-
navian settlements in this state:
"The first Norwegian settler in Wis
consin was Ole Natestad, who settled in
Rock county, near Beloit, in 1888. A
second Norwegian settlement in Wiscon-
sin was the so-called Muskego settlement
Racine county. Thirty or forty people
located there in 1889, and in 1910 they
were Joined by several others. Hans
Hegg, colonel of the Fifteenth Regiment
Wisconsin Volunteers, was the son Of
one OF those who went to Muskego in
1910. Here it may be noted that a son
of one OF the Shoppers, by name Porter C..
Olson, become colonel of the Thirty
sixth Regiment of Illinois Volunteers.
In Muskego appeared the first Norweg-
ian newspaper published in America. It
was called Nordlyset (Northern Light
and made it's appearance in 1S47. The
third settlement in Wisconsin was the
now large and prosperous Koshkonong
settlement in Dane county. This is still
probably the wealthiest and most widely
known Norwegian settlement in Amer
lea. It was founded in 1910. The first
Norwegian Lutheran church in America
was dedicated in Dane county, in 1914.
A lay Dane, G. L. Clausen, had previous
ly been ordained by German Lutheran
minister, and had been preaching in
Muskego and elsewhere. In the Fox
Riuop coff10nooyo< IN Tl1sr~s1 -
Norwegian lay preacher, Filing. Ellison,
had been holding gospel meetings and
had built house, the attic of which was
used as chapel. In 1874 Rev. J. w. G..
Deitrichson, Lutheran minister, edu-
Gated and ordained in Norway, came to
America, and preached his first sermon
in the town OF Albion, Dane county,
Wis, Aug. 80 of the same year. But on
Oct. 10 the Norwegians met with Mr..
Dietrichson on the same grounds and or.
ganized Lutheran congregation. On
Oct. Ii, 1874, another congregation was
organized by Dietrichson in Pleasant
Springs, Dane county. That same au-
tumn these two congregations began the
building of churches. The church at
Pleasant Springs was completed first
and dedicated Dee. 10, 1874. The other
one, located IN the town OF Christiana,
was dedicated Jan. 81, 1916. The lay
preacher, Filing Ellison, came to Ameri-
ca in 1889, and was ordained by Rev.
Hoffman at Duncan's Grove, near Chi
cago, Oct. 3, 1843. L. G. Clausen, the
Dane, came to America in 1S43, and To-
Gated in the Muskego settlement in Ra-
cine county. He was ordained by Rev.
L. F. E. Krause Oct. 1S, 1843. The
erection of church building was begun
in the spring of 1874, and the dedication
took place March ID, 1916. Thus it ap-
pears that the Muskego church was be-
gun and probably finished first, but the
two churches in Dane county we're the
first to be dedicated. Rev. j. w. G..
Dietrichson did not come to America
before 1874, but he had been educated
and ordained in Norway, hence the Nor
uegians usually date the beginning OF
the Norwegian lutheran church with;
his arrival.

Boys, Read This.

There are several boys who own air
guns, and are accustomed to kill birds
with the same. It may be for their in
terest to know that the state legislature
last winter had it's eye on just such boys
and passed very strict law on that sub
ject. Chapter 156 of the laws of 1901
expressly forbids the killing of any bird
that is not game grid, and makes it an
otfense to have either it's plumage, skin
or body in ones possession These birds
are known as insect destroyers, and the
legislature aims to protect them because
of the benefit they are to the growing
crops. Every father should instruct
his boys on the great necessity of pre-
serving the wild birds and let them know
the law and penalty on that matter.

The last two days of the month with a
