SWEDEN.

The executive committee of the Gel
livare and Luossavaara-K iirunavaara
mining company has received a for
NAL proposition for the purchase of
the property by the government. The
offer is said to be more favorable to
the government than the one made on
a former occasion. It remains for the
stockholders to accept or reject the
offer.
DR.. Sven Hedin arrived at Bombay
Feb. IL and was the guest of Governor
Northcote during his stay there.
K. NJ. Lundberg and Joseph Sachs,
managing directors Of the Nordiska
stock company of Stockholm, have set
aside $4,000 which is to be the nu-
cleus of a savings and aid fund for
the benefit of the employees of the
company.
The managers of the South African
Railway have placed an order for
three scales of a sixty-ton capacity
with a Stockholm firm, though the
English bids were considerably lower.
The platforms of the scales are to be
about forty feet long, and the con-
struction of the scales is such that
whole trains may be weighed while
in motion.
A delegation representing the work.
ingmen of Norrland recently called
on the minister of justice and the
minister of agriculture to express the
wishes of the laborers of northern
Sweden with regard to the two great
problems confronting that part of the
country, namely, the absorption of
the small farms by the great corpora
lions. and the dangers which threaten
the right of association.
August Strindberg's "Froken Julie
was to have been presented at a Ber-
lin theater, but the censors suddenly
prohibited the performance. It wa
learned afterwards hat the plot of the
play was too much like the recent
events in the family of a certain Ger
man prince.
Major Unge's flying torpedoes were
tested at the Marina proving grounds
March II and IL. All the torpedoes
that were fired described very regular
curves and exploded when they struck
the ground. 1t was found that the
torpedoes could be loaded with dyna-
mite without the least danger to the
men. With the small elevation of fiji
teen degrees the %torpedoes were car
ried about 10000 feet. In other re.
spects the results are kept secret.

oversight. Our plan OF work is to
first distribute the Great Northern
literature in the various counties
and towns throughout the state
where we wish to work-among
the most important of this liter
ature is the Great Northern Bull
letin, which is made up principally
of letters written by the settlers,
who are anxious to have their
friends join them so they may get
the benefits ofthe free government
lands. 1t also gives the home
stead laws with good wholesome
advice as to right business methods,
etc. AS soon as we learn of some
community where there is an inter
est we appoint a meeting and give
the people a full description of one
country, its advan tages and dis
advantages of our rich soil, our
grass, water, stock, etc. Our des-
cription Of the country and it's
products has always been such
that after the settlers see the
country for themselves they gen
orally exclaim, lit is better than
you descibed." or better than we
expected.
AS a result of our last winters
work we left Kansas City March
l8, with nearly 1870 car loads Of
immigrant moveables, including
a few loads which went out about
March IL. We also had over
twenty coach loads of people.
While we were delayed on &C.
count of the recent snow blockade
yet we landed these 5000 people
here without accident of any kind,
and as the country vas experience
ing one of the worst springs in its
history, the railroad officials are
doing everything in their power
to make the people comfortable,
leaving for their accommoda-
ton, or till they can get to their
homes or the homes of their
friends. The freight cars are also
left for their use till the weather
will permit of their moving out.
Notwithstanding the bad rainy
weather our people are in good
spirits. as a rule, and are anxiously
waiting for the weather to clear
up, SO they can locate and COM
mence farming operations.
With the ground thoroughly
soaked as it is now, we are almost
assured of another record breaking
crop of grass and hay in abundance
and l think we would be safe in
predicting a 2O,OOO,OO0 bushel flax
crop for the great state of North
Dakota.
For free government land our
settlers must 90 west of Minot,
where I am Informed there are
thousands of good homesteads yet
to be had. The Fort Indian res
ervation will in all probability be
thrown open to settlement some
time this next summer. There
will be a sale of state lands again
this spring and taking it altogether
there is room here in this part of
the state, for ten times our present
population. Work is plentiful at
good wages and hands seem to be

The little town of Anderson, with
two or three hundred population,
and O. ly $50, 900 of taxable proper
ty, is 7alking of Incorporating. The
utmost that could be raised, bv
property tax, without resorting to
bonds, would be $675. That is GER
tainly handsome income upon
which to set up city government.
By far the greater part of the agita-
ton for the Incorporation of small
towns the taxable wealth of which is
utterly inadequate to support city
regime, comes from the newspapers.
The local newspaper would be the
principal beneficiary of the city gov
ernment idea. AS a rule the local
papers are not to be censured for
advocating a movement which is for
their particular benefit. Generally
speaking, the support accorded vol
unfairly from the business men of
these small towns is barely sufficient
to keep the wolf from the editors
door, and even this is often looked
upon as case of charity. No won-
der, therefore, that the editor when

When you are about to buy suit
of clothes, it would be absurd to 90
to carpenters shop. When in
need of medicine, you would not call
on the blacksmith to prescribe for
you. To reasonable people it. will
appear that to buy a suit there is
but one place, and that is the tailor
shop, where your suit can be fitted
on you before being made up; and
where you can select your goods,
not from piece of scrap on paper,
where in nine cases out of ten when
your suit arrives it isn't at all what
you selected. If you buy it home
you can select your goods from a
large assortment of piece goods, and
can see what you are getting for
your money. Your ready made
suits are pressed and remodeled with
no extra charge; this l guarantee.

Work on Dams.

A great deal of work is contemplated
by the Standard Electric Company on
the storage reservoirs at Blue Lakes
sud Deir river uITO UvuIIug o5stf>-aa,
At Bear river force of at least fifty
men is to. be put to work early next
month, or as soon as the weather will
permit, and the number will bs rein
forced as the season advances. At
Blue Lakes the commencement of
operations will be delayed longer, owing
to the snow conditions. 1t is reported
that 400 men will be employed there
this summer, In past seasons Carsen
has been the center from which nearly
all the workmen for this point have
been drawn, owing mainly to lack of
transportation facilities on this side.
This year an effort is to be made to
make jackson the point from whence
the men will be drawn. If this can be
accomplished, it means a considerable
accession of business to this town. A
stage line from jackson to Blue Lakes
would no doubt result in securing this
trade. To keep up working force of
that number OF men ought to be suf-
ficient to make a stage line twice a
week profitable. 1t is by looking out
to catch these opportunities of busi-
ness that much may be done toward
building up the town. The trade
naturally belongs to uS, and we hope
something will be done toward secur-
ing it.

FACTS TO BE REMEMBERED

The following facts touching mat
ters in relation to the election next
fall should be borne in mind by vot-
ers. We hope our readers will cut
this piece out, and preserve it for
reference. 1t may be the means of
saving some citizens from losing
their votes this year through mat
tention. Our republican friends
must remember that the democrats
have a decided advantage in the
way of getting their partisans nat
uralized and registered. The ma
chinery of government is in their
hands. This amounts to an organ
ization whose special business it is
to see that voters are qualified to
participate in the coming election.
Naturally the officials will work to
that end. 1t is a perpetual cam
paign with them, and in line with
their duty. 1t may be said that
they are supposed, so far as their
official character is concerned, to be
non partisan, and represent all alike.
This is all very we'll in theory, but
it does not work in practice. A
democratic official, anxious to sue
ceed himself, will endeavor to get
his own party friends in the voting
line in preference to those who are
not of his way of thinking. The
same might be said with equal truth
of republican officials. Under the
circumstances therefore it behooves
republicans, through their political
clubs and in their private capacity,
to see to it that every citizen of their
political faith is qualified to exercise
the franchise at the next election.
The dates to keep in mind are as
follows:
+ REGISTRATION.

Daniel Mccarthy Blows Out His Brains.

The following account taken from
the Sacramento Record Union of the
23d instant, will be read with melan-
choly interest by many of our readers.
The deceased made monthly trips to
Amador county on business for the
firm which he represented:
Daniel Mccarthy, travelling man in
the employ of Adams, Booth & Co. for
many years, and well known through
out the northern half of the state,
committed suicide shortly before 8
O'Clock this morning in the rear of the
Commercial saloon, 100 K street, by
shooting himself with pistol.
Messrs. Grant & Warren, proprietors
of the place, state that Mccarthy had
been in the saloon several times DUR
ing the night, and at the time he COM
mitted the act had been there about an
hour. They had never seen him in
better spirits, apparently, and there
was nothing in his appearance or man
ner to Indicate that he was not in a
perfectly normal condition.
Nobody saw him when he fired the
fatal shot, and death was instantaneous.
Coroner McMullen was notified at
once, and his deputies promptly took
charge of the body.
1t was found that the deceased had
shot himself in the head, the bullet
passing completely through his brain.
Mr.. Mccarthy was about q or %
years of age, and, so far as could be
ascertained, was single man. A
brother of his is resident of Latrobe,
Ell Dorado county.
He also leaves a sister in this city, a
Mrs. Hanford, the widow of Engineer
Hanford of the Placerville Railroad,
who died few years since.

CECIL RHODES is dead, and in his
death one of the greatest figures of
modern times has passed into his
tory. He did not live long enough
to realize the dream of his life, a
united South Africa, patterned after
the United States of America.
Nurturing these ambitious yet
patriotic schemes, it is not surpris-
ing that he awakened antagonisims.
Every man who has strived to work
out vast schemes of political i'm
port, as he did, must necessarily
meet with bitter opposition. No
name is more execrated among the
burgher population of South Africa
today than that of Cecil Rhodes. To
the plottings of his vigorous mind
they ascribe-whether rightly or
wrongly we do not say-all their
recent sorrows. He was shut up in
Kimberley-the diamond city which
owes its life and prosperity to his
financial genius-during its long
siege by the Beers, and Dom Paul
offered a big sum for his capture.
The vast territory in the heart of
Africa called Rhodesia was named
after him. And one of his cherished
plans of a Cape to Cairo railroad is
being pushed ahead, and will be an
accomplished fact before the lapse
of many years.
