.SANGERFEST IS NEAR
Only a Fortnight Until the Swedish
Singers Will Be Here for
Great Event.
No Expense Spared in Securing as
Soloists Stars of the First
Magnitude.

Only fortnight more and the sanger
fest for which the members of the Amer
lean Union of Swedish Singers have been
planning for two years will be here. 1t
is the hope Of every member that every
expectation will be realized. In the matter
of sooists the committee of arrangements
has hot counted the cost but has secured
the best talent available here and In
Sweden. In Fru Anna Hellstrom and John
Forssell of the Royal Swedish opera and
Miss Martina tombstone, the violinist. are
found three artists of the highest rank
and the committees confidently await the
approval of the public.
The attendance Of singing societies
promises to be large. Chicago will be
strongly represented. sending the largest
number of singers, but it will not monopo-
lie public attention. The Orpheus Sing
ing society of Denver will come with
twenty active members. Lyran Of Rock
ford and Lyran of Chicago will be present
also. The former will sing Kjerulf's The
Bridal Procession In Hardanger," which
will be something Of novelty, as 1t Is
q Norwegian composition.
The concerts, as previously stated, will
be held at the exposition building, which
is being thoroly remodeled and will prob
ably provide better auditorium than be-
fore. The concert dates are July p and
%. On July "a comes the picnic which
will be held at Lake Minnetonka and will
be the finale OF the sangerfest.

the afternoon an excursion will be given
on the bay, and also drives about the city.
The conclave will wind up with recep-
ton and ball.
Officers have discovered the place where
George Hebel kept the things which he is
supposed to have stolen. His room at the
Exchange hotel was searched and four
revolvers a shotgun, cartridge boxes in
great numbers, gold watches and chains,
opera glasses, clothing, dry goods and
many other valuable articles were found.
There Is every indication that Hebel is
at the head Of the gang that has been
operating in Marinette for several years.
The Swedish Methodists are making ar
rangements for the annual conference of
northern Wisconsin and the upper PENN
sula Of Michigan, which will be held in
Marinette in September. At that time
the new church in Marinette will be dedi-
Gated.
While fishing near Badwater a stream
in northern Michigan, few days ago,
Joseph Lawrence and A. Luke of Iron
Mountain captured a pair Of Braz ilian
cavy, a species Of wild guinea pig. At
first glance the animals look like a cross
between a rabbit and skunk. Several
years ago the agent Of the Milwaukee road
at Randville imported pair of these little
pigs and presented several Of the young
ones to the Indians at Badwater. It is
presumed the animals made their escope
and have raised others, and that there
are now many In the woods in that
vicinity.

great growth With good weather this

constructing long section of the main
sewer, the estimated cost of which is
about $4,000. The sewer is to be of brick

of the cuts or, tunnels will be about 40

Judging from the recent utterances Of the
Norwegian press. All parties are dissatis-

with incompetency and vaccillation. The
next elections will sweep the ministry
away If 1t does not retire before
Norway Is on the verge of being wholly
reorganized with regard to political par
ties Now that the old conservatives and
moderates have joined with part of the
leftists to sustain the report Of the Joint
commission recommending a separate
consular service there will probably be
formed national party. which seeks the
name Of liberal" --' ,
Then there is a group Of moderate left
lists whose program is for separate Nor
"esian foreign office as we'll as for sepa-
rate consuls. Another group Of leftists
would have Messrs. Stang and Konow
returned to the ministry and some radical
reforms. Then there are the socialists.
who have much In common with the third
group. The last two may fuse, however,
reducing the contest at the elections to
three parties.

PROTECTION FOR NORWAY

Tho New Minister Of Finance Suggests a
Retallatory Tariff.
Gunnar Knudsen, the new minister OF
finance, says that the depression in Nor
wegian Industries demands that the coun-
try resort to high protective duties. II
am free trader by conviction" says the
new minister, land I am proud of Nor
ways record as a relatively free trade
nation; but the severe protectIonism Of the
continent makes it necessary for us to re-
taliate.'
1t Is believed that, in reality, Mr. Knud-
sen desires higher duties for revenue pur-
poses, on account Of the impossibility of
increasing direct taxation. The income
tax for state and municipal purposes alone
amounts to more than 15 per cent Of the
annual income of the country.

SPY SYSTEM OF FINLAND


Domestic and Private Affairs Subject to
Surveillance.
Reports received from Helsingfors by
the Finnish exiles in Stockholm state that
financial oppression is following fast on
the heels Of political tyranny in Finland.
The car has sanctioned system of es-
pionage covering every department Of pri-
vate business, life and work. The system
requires a vast number Of agents, and
Finnish industry Is compelled to assume
the burden.
Russian officials assert that these meas
ures are directed against the accumulation
of explosives and rifles that might be
used against the government; but the OBJ
ject Is to keep the people so thoroly cowed
that Finnish intellectual and legal tradi-
tions cannot easily be perpetuated.
