Too Much Foot Ball.

Death as the result of the big foot
ball game-not from injury but in the
form of too much enthusiasm.
While the bands were playing "See,
The Conquering Hero Comes" while
the bubbling mobs of players, admir-
ers and students were parading the
streets with ss-Boom-Ba mega
phones and blatant fog-horns, Louis
Hart, excited beyond the point of hui
man endurance by overpowering en-
thusiasm, dropped dead at the corner
of Seventeenth stree and Nicollet ave-

Dollar for a Senate Seat.

Senator Pettus, of Alabama, the
other day disproved the prevailing the
ory that all seats in the United States
senate are expensive and that that
body is altogether millionaire's club.
He sent to the secretary of state of
Alapama the sum of one dollar in a
postal note to cover the entire ex-
pens es for his recent unanimous cleo
tion This sum represents the fee Of
the secretary of state for his services.
So far as known this is record in

The ssFez" Trade.

Until a comparatively few years
ago Fee, the capital of Morocco, had
practically monopoly in the man
ufacture of the Turkish national
headdress named after 1.-THE ''fez"
as it was supposed that the pecu'
liar dull crimson color of the tas-
seled skull cap could only be OBJ
tained by using the dye made from
a certain berry largely grown in the
neighborhood of the city, which is
also much used in the dyeing of mo-
rocco leather. Now, however, France
and Turkey, and to a certain extent
Austria, actively compete with Fee
for what is still a very lucrative
trade. &gs f

ANow Industry.

i A new industry, which opens new
market for tamarack, variety of
wood that is common in Northern Min
nesota, and heretofore little in demand,
is being established in that section.
The timber is being sought for ship
knees for use in the construction of
wooden vessels at the Atlantic coast
shipyards- It is said that the only
supply of timber, oak and tamarack,
has heretofore been procured entirely
In Maine, but that the supply there
has nearly become exhausted and the
prices are very high. Northern Min
nesota has q vast amount of tamarack
and it is cheap.
Three camps for the getting out OF
tamarack ship knees have been estab-
hshed in the vicinity of Columbia sta
ton on the Duluth, Missabe & North
ern road, sixty miles north Of Duluth,
and the product will be shipped to
Bath, Me-, all rail. Select ship knees
at the Bath shipyards are worth 81 to
$S each. A tamarack tree twelve or
more inches in diameter is selected. It
is cut of from four to five feet above
the ground, and the main root, always
running at right angles to the stump,
is cut off at about the same distance,
forming an IL" shaped timber. Tho
pieces must measure at least twelve
inches in diameter.
About 1000 of these knees are re-
quired in a large wooden vessel. The
elaSticitV as well as Streno 9th and true
| angle, count in the value of the ship
knees. About $50 of the knees make q
car load.

Proba&, False.

John Norbum of St. Paul visited the
Minneapolis police headquarters and
told the police of a plot to dynamite
the Minneapolis flour mills. The man
says his wife overheard two men dis
cussing the plan, and he came at once
to report it.
The police are declined to believe
that there is nothing in the mans sto-
ry, and say that if there is such plot
it is the work of few hotheads and
not of the larger portion of the strik-
ers. The strike, for one in which so
many men were involved, was conduct
ed in most orderly manner, and at
this date no violence is looked for.

SWEDEN.

SWEDEN.
Count Tage Thott has petitioned
the king for permission to build an
electric power station in peat bog
near lake Yddinge. AS the location
indicates, peat will be used for fuel,
and wires will be strung for trans
mitting power to Skabersjo and Sved-
ala. The cost Of the plant will be
about $4,000.
A good authority claims that the
consumption of timber in Sweden ex-
oeeds the growth by something like
100000 cubic meters a year. About
100000 cubic meters year is used
for domestic fuel.
The election of bishop for the
new diocese of Lulea will take place

Almost $4,000 is badly needed for
deepening the entrance to Trelleborg
harbor for the accommodation of the
steamers running between Trelleborg
and Sassnitz, Germany. The money
will no doubt be furnished, partly
by the national government, partly by
the city of Trelleborg.
The crown prince has been caus-
ing havoc among the big game of
late, having killed 40 stags on five
hunting grounds in southern Swe-
den.
A saw mill and wooden shoe fac
tory were destroyed by fire at Verna-
mo. The loss was about $4,000.
1t is a curious fact that sheep
hunting is common in many Norr-
land settlements every fall. 1t is GUS
tomary to turn out the sheep in the
spring and let them shift for them
selves as best they can all summer.
BY the time the snow begins to fly
in the fall they are far from tame,
selves to be captured must be hunt
ed and shot like wild animals.

punishment lasting for ages and ages,

ped from the list. This is no
reflection upon them, it may
be that they are perfectly
good for their debts and in

are in arrears and who have
paid nothing lately and have
said nothing about paying.
Subscriptions are payable in
advance. Some Of the names
to be dropped are of persons
who subscribed within the
past six months, but who have
forgotten to pay. Of course
THE RECORD will be glad
to have these subscribers,
all of them, to pay up and to
continue the paper to them.
1t will be continued even to
those who give US reason to
believe that they intend to
pay next fall. Those who get
the paper, pay nothing and
say nothing, need not be Of
Tended when the paper stops.

When God, forming the universe

this world,-this little speck of

his creations.

And those shells had time to
grow; the whole earth was covered
with a flood of waters for at least
three of Gods kind of days. It
is true Moses mentions fishes as
created on the fifth day. A new
era had arrived after gathering
together of the waters, and the
appearance of dry land. Perhaps
it was a second creation of fishes
to fit the new situation, a renewal
of the mandate to "muttiply."
Moses :could not mention every
thing that. God did, and it looks
to many that fishes sported in the
waters of the: original food. "He
created the earth not in vain, He
created it TO be inhabited"
