Tomorrow evening the last of the
Theodore Thomas orchestra concerts
will be given at Wesley church. 1t
has been three years since this world
famous orchestra has been heard in
Minneapolis until last Wednesday
evening, and it was on that occasion
that those who were present suddenly
realized again the perfection attained
by the men who have been drilled by
Mr.. Thomas. With the coming and
going of musical attractions one is apt
to forget just how good a Thomas con-
cert can be. The effect of the Wednes-
day concert was magical. People just
drank in the wonderful music without
a. care, save that of perfect enjoyment.
While Wednesdays program was in
tensely interesting, Nat to be given to-
morrow evening promises to be even
more so. 1T contains the famous
Brahms fourth symphony, colossal
work Of the first magnitude. never be-
fore played In Minneapolis. To hear
this number alone will be the treat
of q lifetime. Two Wagner numbers
will also be most welcome.
There will be two soloists, Bruno

TO REBUILD CASTLE
Movement to Restore Christiansborg
Is Taking Shane.

Slowly, but surely, the movement
for the rebuilding of Christiansborg
castle near Copenhagen is taking form.
The special committee appointed to in
uuire has reported to the rigsdag In
favor Of the erection of a building, the
cost of which shall not exceed 6,000,-
900 kroner. It is recommended that
preference in all matters be given to
Danish material and Danish crafts
men and artists and that quarters be
provided for the riksdag.
The favorite plans are those of Pro-
lessor Wilhelm Klein, who would raze
the old walls entirely because they are
not serviceable on account Of old age
and the action Of the fire which de-
stroyed the castle twenty years ago.

Enraged at this intimation, Bo-
sbrikoff has commanded that all traffic
between Tornea and Haparanda cease.
He purposes to enforce his decree by
building high board fence along the
river front at Tornea, shutting off the
bridge and preventing the landing of
boats. AT present the fence will be
two miles long, but when the river
freezes it will be increased a mile at
each end.

But SWeden's New Law Is Very Conn
plicated.
The Swedish electoral commission
has made public its report. The new
system is quite complicated in that the
voters do not vote directly for MEM
bers of the second chamber, but choose
electors as in the United States in the
election of presidents. The electors
meet at the call Of the county Qan)
administration and select the deputies
to the riksdag, each elector having
votes in proportion to the number he
received at the primary election.
This system of Indirect election is
thought to be considerable advance
from the old system. Tho there will
be some opposition the general opin-
ion is that it will pass the riksdag.

GOOD ROADS.


Building Permanent Highways.
session recently at Little Rock, Ark,
brought out some ntere,ting facts and
figures which should awaken public
attention and lead to some course of
adequate action upon matter of such
vital general welfare.
The subject under discussion being
the question of state and national aid i'll
road building. the statement was made
that 1.-THE revenues of United States
government aggregate nearly $500, 000,-
coo a year." and that this vast sum lis
drawn as much from the agricultural
areas as from all other sources combined,
vet at the same time when it comes to
the distribution of the fund not more
than 10 per cent of it sput out III the
rural DISTRICTS whereas 80 per cent is
distributed in the great cities for public
buildings, battleship, munitions Of
war, etc"
And it was further stated in this con-
venton that one of the rivers of Ar
kansas is now having $1,000 600 con-
tributed by the general government,
expended for its improvement when the
same sum of money used for improving
the highways along the bank of that
very river would be a far greater public
benefit. Attention was also called to
the fact that 1.-THE government has
already appropriated 81 900, 600 for high
way purposes in Porto Rico and s. 600,
600 to the Philippines" and Secretary
Root has recommended with the Presi-
dents approval, that 5000, 900 more be
Immediately given to the Philippine
government mainly for constructing
highways.
This and much more important infor-
nation was furnished by the aforesaid
convention, which is now in print and
can be seen of all men who Will take
time to look at it and consider it.
Doubtless our bucolic and bellicose
proteges of the eastern hemisphere will
be greatly helped by this infusion OF
Uncle Sans dollars into his highways

SOIL FOR POTATOES.

Oncr but slight Resistance to
Rapid Growth.

Potatoes may De grown on variety
of soils; but the most important factor
in growing them successfully, after the
proper selection of tubers for seeding,
is the selection of the kind of soil best
adapted to them. Soil in a pulverized
state, so light that it will offer but
small resistance to the growth of the
tubers, should be selected. The ground
should be well drained, and have a sup
ply of organic matter sufficient to keep
it in n state of moisture, which is neces-
sary to the normal growth of the
potato. Flowing under green crops
and adding well rooted farm manures
will render almost any kind of soil suit
able,for growing this crop; while newly
cleared lands are adapted to some
varieties of the potato; as the soil is
in mechanically favorable state to its
growth, and has a liberal supply of
organic matter, which continues till
cultivation eXhausts it from the soil.
The mechanical condition of the soil
is of much Importance; as its natural
| fertility and artificial fertilization will,
| to Il great extent, supply the deficiency
of this organic quality, if the soil is in
a condition to furnish the necessary
moisture. Experience in growing this
crop teaches that one year, or two
years at most, is as long as this crop
should be without change grown on a
piece of ground, because the plant food
suited to the potato by that time be-
comes exhausted, and then the germs
Of disease from the scabby tubers will
