Christiania, Norway, April 21.--Five
kilometers outside of Aalesund, situ-
ated on an islet, stood for centuries
Borgund church. During the recent
disastrous Aalesund fire. many found
shelter In this old house of Worship.
Now the old landmark is no more,
having shared the fate Of the town to
which It belonged. 1t was destroyed
by fire April Is.
The fire was discovered by the par
son. early in the morning and with the
assistance of a few men he tried in
vain to subdue the flames.
Nothing of much value was rescued,
onlysa couple Of old Bibles and a few
trihes. All the old portraits and the
uniquely carved pulpit were destroyed.
It was soon apparent that the
church had been lotoed by burglars.
They had broken up the church
cabinet and had stolen every
thing they could drag along. They
had drunk the altar wine, taken away
all the silver and otherwise acted in
the most sacrilegious manner. To COW
er up their loathesome crime they sci
the church on fire, as it was burning
in several places when help arrived
The robbers must have been either in

suspicious looking young fellows from
Aalesund, seen near the church in an
intoxicated condition the evening be-.
fore. have been arrested.
In two hours the venerable old
church was gone. The loss is very
great. as Norway isn't rich in relics
of this sort, and the old Borgund
church was one Of the most interest
ing and most beautiful beside. The
contrast between the young town and
It's old church was a forceful one. 1t
was such change to come direct
from this lively town with it's busy in
habitants and the loud noise Of mod
ern life to this old edifice where gen
creations after generations for nearly a
thousand years had knelt in worship.
The church was the last one re-
naming ofsfour built in Borgund in
the middle ages. At that time Bor-
gund was the material and spiritual
hub of the district of Sondmore.
In the sixteenth and seventeenth
| century, and at last in 1871 and 1869,
| several changes and additions were
made. but the several pieces Of me-
diaeval. art have always been left in

Clean Up Your Yards.

As the snow and frost has nearly al
disappeared, il j. the season of the
year when one and all should think
about beautifying their yards for the
summer, 10y cleaning up the large
amount of rubbish which always &C
cumulates through the long winter
months.
As our city has gained wide spread
reputation from summer tourists for
its cleanliness, we should endeavOr TO
upF old that honor. More or less sick
ness in the spring of the year comes
from the rubbish heap. and a large
amount can he avoided, by the timely
yard cleaning, which is as necessary
for good health as house cleaning is.
A small amount OF work on the
part of all. will put our city in a
healthful and beautiful condition, aud
the large number of summer visitors
which visit here yearly will continue
to herald their praise of our little
city. Don't delay. but begin as soon
~ possible.

CARDS tvEaYW WHERE
Even Court House Is Plassered
With Candidates Photos

candidates cards are everywhere, be-
Ing found on the telegraph posts. on the
curbs, and not stopping at the doors or
the principal public buildings. In the
craze to attract public attention 1t
seems that the officeseekers are willing
to go tos-aily length to bring their
name to public attention, and in most
instances display reproductions of pho
tographs of themselves
The most notable instance of the in
slstence of the candidates and their
friends is to be found in the city hali
and court house, the very entrance to
which has been plastered with cards.
Even though one layer is removed by
the custodian's order it is but short
time until there is new collection.
The telephone booth near the main
or Wabasha street entrance is COW
cred with7G cards, representing the cam
didates of both parties and for the diff
ferent Offices. A less numerous repre-
vsentations ssto be found in other por-
tons Of the building.
Mayor Smith has not been slow in
|. entering his protest against this use
of the public building, but in the face
OF the horde of partisans and candi-
dates who believe that this is a proper
and legitimate method of advertising
all attempts to clear away the cards
have apparently been abandoned.
During these last days of the primary
campaign the use of advertising cards
has grown into a veritable fury, and it
has been found impossible to prevent
or regulate the placing of them.
