A fish which is called fjarsins in
Sweden, but which is known BY the
names of stingbuu and weever in Eng

on account of poisonous spine which
it carries on its back. In fact, the
fish is Stunned by man and beast
alike. But in view Of the fact that
its flesh is really delicate and that it
is found in great NUN bers near the
mouths of the rivers in southern Swe-

to remove the popular prejudice
against this fish

The competition between Malmo,
Sweden, and Copenhagen, Denmark,
is assuming more aggressive forms.
b. Munster, Dane, has published
an article in a Copenhagen daily to
call the attention of his countrymcn
to the historical fact that at one
time Malmo was a larger city than
Copenhagen, and he argues that his
tory may repeat itself OH that point
unless the latter city keeps a sharp
lookout. Mr.. Munster wants the Drog-
den canal dredged to a depth of %
feet. He also calls attention to the
superior railroad connections enjoyed
by Malmo. The business men of Mall
mo. on the other hand, want the
Flintvannan canal deepcned. 1t is a
curious fact that. this natural. canal
through the shoals was unknown dur
ing the palmy days of Malmo.

Louis A. Gebhardt at New Ulm on the
night, of Nov. /, 1904. The jury was
discharged by Judge Cray after con-
sideration of the case lasting forty-sev-
en- hours. The vote OF the jurors stood
seven to five and it is presumed that
the majority stood for acquittal, but it
is impossible to say positively as to the
standing. One rumor was to the ef-
feet that seven votes were for convic-

Revenue Fund.

The general revenue fund of the
state shows deficit of $4,000. This
deficit seems bound to increase for
months to come. The last legislature
appropriated $645, 900 to be available
before July 81, but failed to make any
provision for creating the sum. The
monthly drafts on the general revenue
fund are about $500, 900, and all it can
stand. The indications are that be-
fore many months the state will have
to borrow considerable money
