Verdens Gang receives the recon
structed ministry with scathing
criticism, it's strongest terms of OBJ
loquy being turned against Premier
Blehr chiefly because he left his po-
sltlon as minister of state in Stock
holm at most critical moment.
But" says the paper by way of con-
ISOLATION, next year we shall have
another election, the present arrange
ment can be but temporary. The vot-
ers will talk plainly enough, of this
there can be no doubt among those
who have paid close attention to the
most recent events What makes
Verdens Gang so disguested with the
cabinet gang" is it's inability or it's
unWlllingness to push the matter of
establishing separate consular serv-
Ice for Norway. This reform is COM
ing, but it is coming from the Swedes
rather than from the Norwegians.
The guano factory at Brettesnes,
Nordland, was closed for period of
ten years because it's running expens-
es could not be covered. Last year
an English syndicate which employs
a secret method of preparing the
guano bought the plant and is rum
ming 1t at profit. About $50 hands
are employed most of the year. The
rates paid for the raw materials are
as follows: Goldfish heads, 10 cents a
hundred; Goldfish backs, Is cents a
hundred; and 10 cents for the entrails
OF one hundred Goldfish. The guano
produced is dry, absolutely odor-
less powder, and contains as much as
l2H per cent ammonia and 26H per
cent phosphoric acid.

severe electric storm burst over
Preston, causing extensive damage to
property and the loss of four lives.
There was violent wind and inces-
SAINT lightning. Although many per-
sons still insist that the storm bor-
dered on a cyclone, the characteristic
funnel-shaped cloud was not observ-
ed. II. M. Conkey went out to his sta
bic to attend to his horses soon after
the storm began and was killed by an
electric bolt that descended just as
he was entering the stable door. Mr..
Conkey was 35 years old. He left
widow and one child.
Chimneys, fences and signs were
blown down all about the town.
len miles west of Preston there
was cloudburst. The Root river be-
gan rising so rapidly that Herman
Wlllbright, a young farmer, hurried
his wife and three children into a
buggy and started for high ground.
But he was obliged TO ford gully
that is ordinarily dry. Here an I'M
expected stream, five feet deep and
roaring like a mill race, caught and
overturned the buggy and swept the
three little ones to sudden death.
They were two girls, aged seven and
five, and a boy of ten months. The
body of the baby has not yet been

the snake in the buggy with the baby.
She endeavored to poke the reptile
out with a broom, when it slid down
the handle, wound it's pody around
the little girls neck and sunk it's
poisonous fangs into her neck. She
died soon after in extreme agony. The

WANT LAND DEDICATED.
Commissioners Report on Bill for Ex-
tending Thirteenth Street.

The District Commissioners yesterday
prepared their report upon Senate bill
No. 1910, For the extension of Thirteenth
Street, Washington, District of Column
bia.' The bill is almost exactly similar
to the one recently reported upon by the
Commissioners. with reference to the ex-
tension of Fourteenth Street, and the re-
port is essentially the same.
The Commissioners discuss the sub
jects of the proposed dedication. and the
relief of the land from assessment where
such dedication is made. They recommend
the extension of Thirteenth Street to the
northern limit of the Saul tract, provided
that not less than 10 per cent of the land
necessary is dedicated, and they recon-
mend that the bill be so amended that at
least this percentage shall be dedicated
before condemnation proceedings begin.
The Commissioners call attention to the
fact that the bill provides that the cost
of the extension and the expenses Incl
dent thereto shall be borne entirely by
the District of Columbia While they ad
init that the cost in this particular case
will not be great, the Commissioners as
sert their helief that in all cases Of
street extensions one-half of the cost
should be borne by the United States.

charging His Duties.

assault and Imprisonment. was begun yes
terday before Chief Justice Bingham in

The plaintiff further declares that the
property upon which he desired to levy
was in a stable. and that when he went
into the building the door vas closed on
him and he was made a prisoner. He
states that he was kept in confinement
for about two hours.
