SEVERE DROUGHT
IN EAST NORWAY
CROP FAILURE FEARED IN THE
LARGEST FARMING DISTRICT.
Fires Rage in the Forests, Destroying
8 Valuable Property - Norwegians
Looking to America for Grain
Farmers Preparing for Hard Times
and Distress.

According to special to Skandina-
ven, Norway Is suffering from a severe
drouth in the Eastern valleys and as
these are the largest and richest agri-
cultural districts in the country, the
conditions are quite serious. A COM
plete crop failure is feared, and the
country is already looking toward
America with anxious eyes to see if
there will be any grain to spare.
The long heat has dried the forests
and these are burning fercely in many
places, destroying valuable property
and increasing the likelihood of a ma
tional calamity.
No complaints have been received
from the districts north of the Dovre
mountains, nor from the western val
leys but these do not begin to yield
crops in comparison with the plains
of eastern Norway.
The drouth was of long duration
farmers waited anxiously for rain
for their grain fields, but final
ly were compelled to cut what
there was for the sake of obtaining
the straw. The prices on hay and
feed are already high, and before win
ter the farmers will be compelled tc
sacrifice their cattle.
1t is expected that the root crops
will yield fairly well, but on the whole
the people in the drouth district are
preparing for hard times with more
or less distress. In 1876 similar visi.
| tation befell this district.

Selected.

sary of Gustaf Vasa's election as king
and the adoption of the constitution
and June "a the anniversary of Gus
tat Vasa's entrance into Stockholm
and Gustavus sAdolphus' landing on
German soil for the thirty years war,

became the favorite and has been
officially designated as national

North Seventh street Saturday even

that gathered about Mayor thinner
man s house indicated the case of the
excitement to be centered there. In
d Hestigation proved that the multitude
did not reckon in vain.
While the doctor was busy about
his office work attending to the per-
sons who were then awaiting atten-
ton, a rig drove up in front of Mayor
Zimmerman home on North Seventh
street and stopped. The rig was occu-

clothes basket, to all appearances, but
later developments proved otherwise
The man jumped out of the rig and
taking the clothes basket deposited
residence. A number of parties were
passing along at the time and no more
|attention was given the matter, all
lsupposing that the basket contained
the Zimmerman washing for the week.
When the man deposited the basket
|he "saith never word" but hur-

cHAUTAUQUA
OPENS FRIDAY
GREAT PREPARATIONS TO BE
MADE THIS WEEK
PROMISES TO BE FINE
Chautauqua is the Center of Interest
at Present-Large Attendance
Likely.
PROMISES TO BE FINE

The chief event that is the center of
public interest locally at present is
the Richmond Chautauqua, which will
be held under the auspices Of the
Commercial Club and will open Fri
day, the Goth. The Chautauqua, from
all standpoints, promises to exceed
last years affair by far, in program
and everything, and will be one of the
finest held in this part of the coun-
try this year. The attendance prom
ises to be exceptionally large. Hun
dreds of Richmond people have pur-
chased season tickets and the tenting
grounds, in which many families will
"camp out" during the chautauqua,
will be filled completely.
1t is estimated that there will be
considerable over hundred tents that
will be occupied solely by families
who take this means to combine pleas
ure with profit. Of out-of-town at
tendants there will also be a very
large number, the systematic advertis-
ing campaign having awakened great
interest in this, the second of Rich
mond's fine chautauquas.
The program, of which mention has
