PLOT AGAINST SWEDEN.
Ex-Minster of War for Norway Want
ed TO DISRUPT Dual Union.

eO 10 OISTupG OuaI Union.
Christiania, July 10.-Bjornsterne
Bjornson. in an animated controversy
with Mr.. Stang, minister of war. has
disclosed the fact that Stang supported
the bellicose politicians who actually
planned war with Sweden in order to
dissolve the union.
The former minister relied upon the
fact that the Swedish army was in
course of reorganization and presum-
ably unable to strike quickly. He plan
ned to mobilize the Norwegian army
and to march across the frontier to
prevent the mobilization Of the two
western Swedish army corps.
Bjornson says: The most hor-
rible circumstance in connection with
the story is that Mr.. Loveland. minister
of the interior. an old fighter for inter-
national piece. and president OF the
Noble peace committee, consented to
lead the movement and to take charge
OF the revolutionary movement. The
lunscy of the plan can be understood
by all who know the relative strength
of Sweden and Norway on land and
sea. The European concert which per-
mits Armenian massacres and warns
the oppressed Macedonians to keep
quiet, should certainly apply severe
measures to domestic self-governing
Norway If it ever essays to shed the
blood of its sister nation for the sake
of the consulate question"

LITTLE GIRL BROWNS
Sunday School Class Picnic at 'Tama
Has Sad Endins-Heroic Work of In.
dians Saved Two Lives.

Special to Times Republican,.
Tama, July 1o.-A Sunday school
class picnic came to a sad end late
yesterday afternoon, when one of its
members, Miss Birdie Shope, aged IA,
while wading in the Iowa river, got be-
yond her depth and was drowned.
The party consisted of thirteen young
girls, most of them not over 10 years
of age. They had been taken out to
a place just below the dam, probably
three miles west of Tama. and near the
reservation. A. e. Jackson, who had
taken the girls to the picnic grounds,
left them in charge of two of the older
girls, while he went over to his farm.
1t appears that the two little Jackson
girls waded out into the stream and
that the Shope girl had gone after
them. All three girls got beyond their
depth and were soon struggling help
lessly in the water. Some of the In
dians nearby came to the rescue, and
succeeded in getting two of the girls
out, but the Shope girl had been car
ried under by the current. and she
never came to the surface. The body
was found this morning fully mile
and a half down stream from the spot
where she first went down. The
drowned girl was the daughter of the
well known proprietor of the bowling
alley at this place.

knife and that she shot him in self
defense.
Testimony was introduced by the
state yesterday to the effect that Cum
nlings had been shot in the ear from
behind, and evidently while he was
looking out into the street; that the
body had been removed from where 1t
fell to the opposite side of the room,
the pockets searched and several let
ters secured and thrown into the gra.e.
These were recovered and pieced to-
gether by the state and upon them the
outcome largely depends.
It was further testified to that Cum
mings had been dead three-quarters of
an hour before any alarm was given.
One theory advanced by the state is
that Cummings was killed because he
bad knowledge of his wife having
killed Harris and she was afraid he
might make his knowledge public.
When Harris was found IN bed in Gin
cinniati a verdict of suicide was re-
turned, on the testimony of his wife.
When Cummings was killed suspicion
was aroused in the Harris case and an
Indictment was found charging Mrs.
Cummings with homicide.

Italy's policy consists in considering

law complete liberty and independence

to be entitled to veto the election of an

her right has never been acknowledged.
The last time the right was success

prevented Cardinal Giustinian from be-

DENTAL WORK AFFECTS VISION
Extracting Teeth Said to Sometime.
Brinu on Blindness,

Wilkesbarre, Pa. July 10.-In a pa
per read before the Pennsylvania State
Medical Society, l.. Webster Fox, of
Philadelphia, yesterday, said that
blindness often had its source in the
extraction of tooth. The medium by
which the teeth, eyes and ears are con-
nected. is the fifth nerve. Eye diseases
are often cured by treatment being ap-
piled to the teeth. This is also true
vice versa. The teeth are affected by
strained eye, and dentists often have
trouble in such cases to find the cause
of the trouble
