hagen correspondent. who has lately trav-
elled extensively throughout both Sweden
and Norway, says he has nowhere in
Sweden found any traces Of national hatred
towards the Norwegians, but regards that
he cannot say the same thing about nis
travels in Norway where cultured men
of high standing could not refrain from
expressing bitter national hatred towards
Sweden.
As illustrating the difference of opinion
in Norway as regards the dissolution of the
union being called for or not. quote the
following articles by a Norwegian in one
of our largest dailies here:

WILL NOT DEDUCT.
Contractor HagwalI Denies Statement
Made at School Board.

Contractor o. NJ. Hagwall, who had
the subcontract under the Pond &
Hasey company to do some work in the
West Mankato school building, states
that the statement made at the school
board meeting Saturday afternoon that
he will deduct sos from his contract
price, because of the defective cement
floor, is not true He demands every
dollar of his contract figure from the
company, and will not deduct anything.
No settlement has yet been made be-
tween him and the Pond & Hasey COM
pany.
Mr. Hagwall states that his foreman
followed the specifications exactly in
laying the cement floor, and the fact that
it was not a good floor was the fault
of the architect who drew the speci-
tications, he says. He expresses the
opinion that the architect has been try-
ing to give him the worst of it.

FORGOT HIS WIFE.
Story Of Abse Mt Mindedness Of a Mic
olIet County Man.

A farmer living not far from Saint
Peter was in town Friday with his
wife to attend the fair. He started
home about five o'clock in the afternoon
and after he got out of town he missed
something, but couldn't tell what. He
took out his pocketbook, but all was
right there. He 'thinked and he think
ed"-he studied and he studied" but
all to no purpose, and finally drove into
his barnyard at home, when he was
met by his eldest daughter, who eX-
claimed: why pa, where is mother?"
Daughter, by iinks, | knew | had for
gotten something, but for the life of
me | couldn't tell what" and back to
town he drove in hot haste for the ar
ticle he missed, and you may bet he re-
ceived blessing for his being so, alb
sent minded. He promised never to do
so against. Peter Tribune.

EVANGE LISTS DOING GOOD WORK
AT FAIRMONT, MINI.
Some Saloons Lock Doors So That
Patrons Can Listen TO the Word
of the Lord.
Especial to The Free Press.l

Fairmont, Sept. 20.-The union evan
gelstic meetings, conducted by Evan
gelists Robert +. Johnson and Charles
H. Grey of Chicago came to a close Sun
day evening. The meetings from every
standpoint were most successful. Open
ing with small crowds, on the closing
Sunday night the large crowd number
ing not less than a thousand people.
On last Thursday of the meetings, in
response to the request of Evangelist
Johnson, almost every place of business
was closed down from 2:30 to four
o'clock, including the stores, banks,
some saloons; also the large Touring
mill of c. S. Christensen & Co., closed
for its thirty employees to attend; and
the board of education closed the
schools, making quite Il remarkable
scene throughout the town for Il mid
week day.
The special services of the day com
menced with the ringing of church bells
at $3.50 in the morning. Almost the
entire day was filled up with some
special line of Christian work.

No CIew Obtained TO the Per-
petrator of Acts.
Motive Probably Revenge; An
Investigation Is Now On.
The Guilty Person Should Be
Punished Severely.

A piece of vandalism was committed
last night that deserves the closest in
vestigation and the punishment of the
guilty parties, if it can be ascertained
who they are.
Both the Citizens and Northwestern
telephone wires connecting the instru-
ments at st. JosepRs hospital were cut
some time during the night. 1t is not
known just at what hour The work was
done, nor is there any evidence point
ing to any particular person, so far as
can be learned. Why the wires were
cut can only be conjectured, and one ex-
PLANTATION offered is that it was the work
of some person who bears a grudge
against the hospital for some reason.
The wire chief of the Citizens com.
repairs, when the matter was reported
at eight o'clock this morning, reported
that the wire was cut inside of the
'phone An investigation will undoubt-
eddy be made.
company states that no investigation
has yet been made and that the wire is
still open. He did not care to express
an opinion at this time on the matter.
The cutting of the wires might mean
life or death to some patient taken
with sudden hemmorrhage or sinking
spell, where the services of a physician
were needed at once.
At the hospital it was learned that the
Northwestern wire was cut near the
porch, outside of the building. A per-
son could reach the wire at that point.
The Citizens phone wire was cut inside
of the instrument.
The sister in charge today said that
the sisters are at loss to know who
could have cut the wires. 1t was not
known at what time it was done, as
there was no occasion to make calls
last night. She thought that person
could hardly enter the building and
open the Citizens instrument and cut
the wire and leave again without
being detected. The instrument is
kept in small room off from the
front hall and the room is not oc-
cupied at all times.
The sisters do not know whom to sus-
pect, nor do they have any explanation
to offer for the strange happening.
1t might be well for the authorities to
take hand in the investigation.

SPORE CONVICTED.
His Alleged Accessory In EiysIan Rob-
berry Makes Confession.

R. S. Jones has returned from Le
Sueur Center, where he defended Fred
Spore and Roy Laney, who were in
dicted on the charge of burglary in the
third degree. 1t was alleged that they
robbed store at Elysian. Spore was
tried, and the jury was out five hours
before it brought in verdict yesterday,
convicting him. A stay of sentence was
secured, pending motion for new
trial. The conviction was largely Sc
cured upon written confession made
by Laney, who said that Spore commit,
ted the robbery while he, Laney, stood
outside as guard.
The indictment against Laney was de-
fective, and it was dismissed, on motion
of Mr. Jones.
The civil cases on the calendar have
been disposed of, and the only criminal
case remaining is that against Banker
Livingston Quackenbush, which was to
be called this morning.

TOO STRONG TO WORK
TONY HARTFORD THE ONLY IDLE
MAN IN IRONDALE.
Women of the Town Are Raising
Money to Pay the Expenses of
His Deportation.

Chicago, Sept. 2O.-Tony Hartford
aged thirty, is the only idle man in
Irondale, ILL.,, town of 5000 {nhabi-
tants, and the women of the place are
raising a popular subscription to defray
the expenses of deporting him. They
say the presence of one indolent man
may have an evil effect upon their hus-
bands and put to naught the towns re-
cent recovery from a twenty-year per-
iod of laziness. Agents of several fac
tories are canvassing Irondale daily in
search of workers, say the women, and
yet Hartford calmly smokes his pipe
and announces that he has decided to
take a couple of months rest and lie
around the town.
Until three years ago, when a big
harvesting plant came to Irondale, work
was the one thing that came last to
the lot of the voters. Thirty years
previous a nail mill had been established
in the town, but changes in the style
of nails quoted the factory whistle, and
for many years wives watched their hus-
bands gather at the corner grocery store
and wait for some one to offer them a
job.
Then came the boom and the jobs
forced themselves upon the spouses
grown "disinclined" from long idleness.
Every man had to 60 to work to
avoid the offers that were being show
cred upon him. Irondale awoke from
its stupor and began to boom. The
dread disease of laziness was eradicated
and the smooth places on the drygoods
boxes lost their gloss.
But the housewives have not forgotten
the old days. A constant dread of a
repetition of the idle period has filled
their minds, and they have kept their
husbands closely harnessed to their jobs
with only Sundays. Fourth of July, New
Years and Thanksgiving off.
Now comes the disturbing element,
wife, to make him work, has not been
the rebellious Tony, who. having no
convinced of the necessity of labor.
The women were quick to act when
they heard of the disaffection. Mrs.
Joseph Mcintosh, Mrs. Joseph Walters
and Mrs. Jennie Hasteit were appointed
a committee to circulate the subscrip-
ton list
Eve will send him just as far as the
money we collect will pay the fare,''
said the committee. 'We will only pay
the fare one way, but if he repents and
informs us that he wants to come back
and work we will get him a job first,
and then send for him."
Tony has not yet been consulted about
the matter. He may not want to go,
but as the committee say they will
make it hot for him at home. the 999
other men who are working are confident
he will accept the offer of Transports
ton.

If the national encampment of the

The Bloodiest War in History Ended.

The long and bloody war between
Japan and Russia is ended. The
terms of peace were settled by M.
Witte and Baron Komura at the ses-
sion of the conference Tuesday morn
ing, and in afternoon preliminary
arrangements for an armistice were
concluded and the actual work of
framing the Treaty of Portsmouth"
was by mutual agreement turned over
to M. De Martens, Russia's great in
ternational lawyer, and Mr.. Denni-
son, who for twenty-five years has
acted as the legal adviser of the
Japanese Foreign Office.
The treaty is expected to be COM
pleted by the end of the week. This
happy conclusion of the conference,
which week ago would have been
shipwrecked had it not been for the
heroic intercession of President Roose-
welt, was sudden and dramatic.
For the sake of peace Japan, with
the magnanimity of victor, at the
last moment yielded everything still
in issue.
WHAT JAPAN HAS WON.
The Mikado's empire has obtained
place among the great powers of
the world.
Japan has wrested from Russia the
control of the Liaotung Peninsula,
including Port Arthur, Dalny and
Blonde and Elliott Islands, thus at
one stroke getting revenge for past
indignities and what to her are the
prime fruits of victory.
By Japan's victories she has forced
Russia TO consent to the open door
! for all nations in Manchuria.
A preponderant influence" in
Korea has been obtained, an influence
which admits the right of Japan to
give military and financial advice to
the Emperor of Korea.
i Japan obtains the retrocession to
China of the Eastern Railroad, which
runs south from Harbin to Port
Arthur, change of control which
will aid Japan in a financial sense.
Japan has forced the limitation of
the Chinese concession of 1896, under
which the g cut off y through North
ern Manchuria was built to connect
the Trans Siberian and the Ussuri
Railroad, so as to provide for the re-
tention and ownership of the line by
the Chinese Eastern. Chinese I'M
perial police are to be substituted for
the Russian railroad guards.
The Bourbon news., 1905-09-01
WHAT RUSSIA HAS LOST.

Russia has lost her position as a
ranking naval power. Her fleet in the
Pacific is cut to pieces and her great
Baltic feet has been destroyed.
Russia has been routed from the
Liaotung Peninsula, from Dalny, the
Blonde and Elliott Islands and from
Port Arthur, the great harbor fortress
that gave the Gar position of
dominance in Eastern affairs.
The southern half of Sakhalin
Island is lost to Russia.
Russia has been compelled by force
of Japanese arms to consent that all
nations shall have full trade facilities
in Manchuria, privilege which she
formerly jealOusly WithstOod.
The Czar's Government refused be-
fore the war to recognize any right of
Japan to seek influence, and trade in
Korea. AS a result of the war Japan
is given a preponderant influence in
the Hermit Kingdom, with full power
to advise the Emperor on all matters
pertaining to commerce and to war.
Russia has recognized Chinese own
ership in the Eastern Railroad con-
Meeting Port Arthur with Harbin.
This involves retrocessiOn to China
by reason of property rights, and
gives to Japan an opportunity to re-
coup her finances.
The Car loses all influence in Man
churia, province which his Govern
ment was absorbing.

Busy Part of City.

About the busiest part of Paris at
the present is at the city rock quarry.
We made a visit there Wednesday
with Councilman O'Brien and was
somewhat surprised to witness the
bnsv scene. The rock crusher and
steam drills in full blast, the National
Ritumen Company putting in it's i'm
mense new plant to reconstruct Main
street.. made one think he was in a
large city.
The street plant is new and of the
very latest pattern and about Monday
week the real work will begin on the
street.
Paris should feel proud of this city
property and the citizens should con-
gratulate themselves that they have
had a Councilman like Mr.. O'Brien,
whose untiring interest in the we'll
fare of the city have made all of
these things possible. However,
they are going to show their appreci-
alton of his services by electing him
Mayor of the city in November by a
rousing majority, if anyone las the
nerve to come out against him.
