Terms of Proposed Agreement Not
Yet Made Public-King Ed
ward Aids in Ending
tho Trouble.

Karlstad, Sept 18.-It is believed that
Sweden has averted all danger Of war
with Norway by proposing compro-
mise by which Norway need only dis
arm her forts instead Of demolishing
them. The compromise answers Swed-
ems purpose and relieves Norway Of hu-
initiation. The first ofncial announce
ment indicating that the delegates of
Norway and Sweden were approaching
an understanding in their effort to es-
tablish q modus vivendt for the coun-
tries as separate governments was given
out Saturday night at the close Of the
joint session of the delegates. This an
nouncement reads: "The probabilities
are that in the near future the negotia-
tions can be brought to a definite re-
suit" This cryptic announcement is
accepted as indicating that the nego-
tiations have, finally reached a stage
where an agreement is in sight and that
a resort to arms, which might have in
volved other powers, may safely be con-
sidered to be out of the question.
Owing to the silence of the delegates
and the carefulness with which we'll in
formed persons on both sides guard the
secrets Of the conference, it would be
unwise to speculate on the proceedings
which led to the decision to issue the Of
fetal announcement While it is posi-
BILE the exact terms of an agreement
have been drawn up and approved by
both sides. the indefniteness Of the Off
cial announcement, coupled with the re-
sumption Of sessions Of the delegates to-
day lead to the inference that only the
broad terms on which Sweden will con-
sent to a dissolution of the union were
settled; but. as both sides up to Satur-
day morning appeared firm in their de-
mands regarding the fortresses. there
is good reason to suppose that mutual
concessions were made.
Difficulties Develop.
Karlstad, Sept 18-The Norwegian
and Swedish delegates sat in confer
ence Sunday from noon until two
O'Clock and from five to seven, at which
time they adjourned until to-day. The
question Of fortifications is still being
discussed and some unforeseen difficult
ties have appeared. It is expected that
the discussions will be concluded

Better Feeling Exists.
Christiana, Sept. 1S.-Peace between
Sweden and Norway being assured a
quieter feeling prevails here. News
from Karlstad, however, is still await
ed with the keenest interest, and there |
is anxiety to learn the details of the
compromise. The press is unanimous
in hoping for a speedy settlement Of
the questions. There are some misgiv- |
ings entertained that peace may have |
been bought too dearly. but all the !
newspapers express relief that peace |
has been secured, provided it is on an
enduring basis.

BY this time Staples, who had been In

forced the boar down into the dry bed
of a nullah, into which it plunged. and
up the opposite bank. We followed as
fast as the nature of the ground would

1t was very awkward position to as

come to grief. AS it was he barely es-

Austin and Staples, whose horses by
this time were nearly wild with excite.
ment, rushed up the steep together.
The Worthington advance. [volume] (Worthington, Minn.) 1874-1908, 1905-05-05

The boar was standing with the foam
flying from his jaws. on piece of level
ground. and after few short trotting
steps charged Austin, but in doing so
passed directly across Staples path,
giving him splendid chance, which was
not thrown away. He made thrust
with his spear and struck the boar.
At the same moment Austin's spear
struck across his horses chest, and to
avoid coming end on over the boar, he
had to force his nag to jump over it.
This, however, he did not succeed in
doing, and the next moment over they
went. horse and rider, and to our hor-
ror we saw our friend lying on the
ground directly in front of the now en-
ragged and bleding boar, which at once
made furious charge at him.
Had l not been in a measure prepared
and close by when this occurred, there
would have been but very poor chance
for Austin; but, fortunately. was just
in time to prevent any such catastro-
phe. Just as the boar had got to
within half a dozen feet of him, drove
my spear deep into his side.
This was the gallant boar's last
charge. He reeled, sank to his knees,
rolled over. and gasping out his last
sobs, was gathered to his fathers.-N. Y.

TESTS FOR ACID SOILS.
Some Suggestions for the Use Of Blue
Litmus Paper-The Care That,
Should Be Exercised. E

| The best single test for determining
soil acidity which is capable of being
used by persons upon their own farms is
| that with blue litmus paper. Such pa
per can be bought of an apOthecary at
| trifling cost. Strips half an inch wide
! and two inches long are convenient Tor
| making the tests. Care should be taken
not to handle the end of the paper that
is to be inserted in the soil, for il the fin
gers are most they will redden the pa
per so that it will appear much as it does
when redeemed by acid soil, says the
Rural New Yorker. The soil to be test
ed should then be moistened sufficiently
with water to make thick paste and
should then be allowed to stand for half
an hour longer. 1t may then be parted
by the use Of knife blade or other con-
yenient instrument, and after introduce
ing one end Of the litmus paper the soil
should be pressed against the sides Of
the paper. After from half an hour to
an hour the paper may be removed from
the soil, taking care not to tearit. After
its removal the paper may be dipped re-
peatedly in water in order to wash off
the adhering soil. If a distinct red color
has entirely taken the place Of the orr
ginal blue color of the paper, it may be
concluded that the soil probably needs
lining.
In the case of very red soils it is often
better to press the blue litmus paper
against the soil than to have it surround
ed by it. If in such cases the blue color
of the paper disappears and gives place
to distinct red one, acidity is indicated.
This blue litmus-pap test furnishes
also good means for testing for acidity
in subsoils, or soils very deficient in Or
ganic matter, where the acid substances
may be largely of mineral origin. A
good supplementary test, which is ap-
plicable only in soils containing consId-
cradle humus, is made by means of add,
ing dilute ammonia water to soils. Am
monia, too, can be bought of an apothe-
cary at slight expense. In making this
test take two glasses, place level table,
spoonful of soil in each, then add water
until the glasses are about two-thirds
full. Now add tablespoonful of diluted
ammonia water to one of the glasses.
Stir each with different spoon or knife.
If, after standing some hours, the liquid
in the one to which the ammonia water
was added has become dark brown or
black, it may be concluded that acid
humus was probably present and hence
that lining will prove helpful. :.
