Voted DISSOLUTION
PEOPLE OF NORWAY FAVOR Sep
GRAFTON FROM SWEDEN.
Only One Person in 5000 Is Opposed
to the Change-Scenes of Greatest
Joy Every Where-Women Signed Pc
titions-Member of Cabinet Makes
Statement-Want Monarchy.

Christiania, Norway, Aug. 1.-THE
vote taken Sunday pronounced in ia
vor of the dissolution of the union
with Sweden with remarkable though
not unexpected unanimity. Of $500
votes, 100000 cast ballots. The differ
ence between the total number of
is attributable to absentees, such as
sailors abroad and others who are out
Of the country at present.
There were scenes of the greatest
enthusiasm everywhere. Thousands of
women who did not have the right of
franchise, signed petitions in the
streets indorsing the dissolution. In
Christiania and other cities the total
population turned out, everywhere
wearing long streamers of the national
colors and pictures of Premier Michel
sen.
One member of the cabinet said to
the Associated Press:
"The result surpasses the most
sanguine expectations. The next Of
fetal steps will be taken after the
storthing meets on August 81, when
the result of the plebescite will be
communicated to Sweden through the
Swedish cabinet and the riksdag. The
storthing will repeat ne request that
the riksdag declare the riksakt in op-
Grafton and the union dissolved. The
storthing will also express a willing
ness to negotiate concerning the de-
tails of the dissolution. 1t is the earn
est desire of Norway to conclude the
dissolution amicably. Norway will
never retract, but everything will be
done to meet the wishes of Sweden in
other directions.
"If peace depends upon abolishing
the forts they will be abolished. Nor
way must remain monarchy; the
people do not desire a republic

DOUkHABORS GO NAKED.
Men, Women and Youths Stand Naked
and Unashameo.

Winnipeg, Man.-Another pilgrim
age in search of the Redeemer has
been instituted by Doukhabors and the
vanguard of the main body of modern
seekers of the holy grail arrived in
Yorkton, N. w. T., and stripped them
selves of every vestige of clothing,
which they piled in a heap.
After a brief sort of funeral cere-
mony they set fire to the pile and
burned every stitch before the local
police could interfere. In the party
were 16 men, Is women and six youths
ana they stood in the twilight unclad
and unashamed. Sergeant Jungle of
the northwest mounted police, with a
posse of redcoats, surrounded the fan
atics and fatigue party from the
police barracks shortly afterward
brought up a pile of rough clothing
and blankets, with which the imita-
tors of Adam and Eve were forced to
dress.
When this was accomplished the
horsemen herded their excited and
refractory charges together and drove
them to the courthouse, where they
await the decision of the bewildered
federal authorities, whose wards they
are.

Great Match at Spokane.

Charles Neary of Milwaukee and
kid" Goodman, the Boston boy, have
been matched for 20 round go at the
S. A. A. C. in Spokane, for September
8. The directors announce that Eddie
Quinn, matchmaker for the club has
closed the arrangements and set the
date for the two little men to fight.
In the selection of Neary and Good
man, Quinn has made a wise choice.
The Boston boy is one of the most
clever little fellows in the business
and any man winning from him will
have to go a hard clip. Goodman is
managed by John Mooney, the young
promoter who handled Honey Melody.
Non-residents should write to Man
ager Quinn for seat reservations.

NO EXTRA SESSION.
Many Reasons Urged on President
Against a Oall.

Oyster Bay, N. Y, Aug. 15.-Not-
withstanding the more or less definite
announcement which has emanated
from various sources during the last
few months, congress may not be
called into extraordinary session next
November. Indeed, the indications are
now that no extraordinary session will
be held this year.
This statement is made on the au-
thority of President Roosevelt him
self. He has not decided definitely
yet and will probably not reach a de-
termination until he shall have re-
turned to Washington the latter part
of September. The chances of an ex-
traordinary session appear, however,
to be fading.
Strong pressure is being brought to
bear upon the president to induce him
not to call an extra session. So much
interest has been manifested in the
subject throughout the country that
the president has received a large
number of letters regarding it. Many
senators and representatives have
urged against an extra session.

Denver, Col.-The report of the COM

THE GREAT WARSHIP KANSAS.
Bottle of Kansas Water Is Used in
Christening.

OuilShCHinAs
Philadelphla.-The battleship Kan
sas, the largest war vessel ever built
in the east, was launched at 12.47 p.
m. Saturday at the yard of the New
York Shipbuilding company in Cam
den, N. j. The launching was witness
ed by Governor Hoch of Kansas,
whose daughter acted as sponsor for
the ship. Along with the governor
was a christening party of 80 Kansans.
An unusual feature of the launch
ing was the fact that the vessel was
christened with water brought from
Kansas by Governor Hoch instead Of
the customary bottle of champagne.
This was the first time that water in
stead of wine has been used in launch
ing a vessel in lnIs vicinity.
Governor Hoch of Kansas made the
suggestion and he made the announce
ment after the launching that the
christening bottle contained only wa
ter.
The Kansas is a sister ship of the
Vermont.
The keel plates of the Kansas were
laid February TO- 1904. She is known
as a 450 foot battleship and her con-
tract calls for a maintenance of IS
knots speed for four consecutive
hours. Her armament will be: Main
battery, four II inch, eight inch,
twelve inch breech loading rifles;
secondary battery, 20 three inch, or
IA Founders, rapid fire guns, so caliber
in length; II three FOUNDER semiauto-
matte guns, six one FOUNDER auto
matics; two one FOUNDER semiautomat-
ic three inch fieldpieces, two machine
guns of g caliber. These guns will be
amply armor protected and well
placed.

jumping. The high speed of the pas
senger train threw its locomotive and
first three coaches over on the engine
of the freight train, telescoping the
smoker and the car following. Several
cars of the freight train were splinter
ed to fragments.
OF the passengers in the smoker,
none escaped injury. Fortunately there
was no fire, but the heavy timbers
of the wrecked cars pinned down many
and prevented them getting out until
assistance arrived.
Doctors were sent on a special train
to the scene from Lorrine.

The passengers in the second car were
more fortunate. There the violence Of
the impact was not so severe, though
few got off without cuts, bruises,
sprains or broken bones. No passen-

The men on the train who escaped

1.-THE WORSE BOY IN TOWN"
Rev. W. A. noore Talks About Him
Saturday Night.

Rev w \ Moore of Mexico, Mo-, State
Bible School Superintendent of the
Christian Church. gavo an address at
the Christian Church in this city last
Saturday night to quite q large audience.
His subject, as announced beforehand
was, "The Worse Boy 10 Town His
talk was on Sunday School work, but
as be said at the beginning OF the lecture
he gave it the title above mentioned in
order TO get crowd out "If had an
uounced, ;" said he "that | would talk ON
SUNDAY Schools only few people would
have come out to hear it, but when the
people hear that there is "A man going to
talk about the worse boy in town, their
curiosity is aroused and they want to
know what he is going to say about the
"worse boy in town" The presence Of
the large audience seemed to give weight
to Mr.. Moore'S diagnosis of the case.
u Moore began by presenting statis-
ties as to the number Of children in the
State of Missouri in Sunday School and
the number who were not attending.
Those not attending numbered $4,000.
He further stated that 81 per cent OF the
members OF the churches came from the
Sunday School. Hence the value Of
Sunday School work.
Mr.. Moore does not sagree with the
general accepted theory that the boy is
naturally worse than the girl. He be.
lieves that the boy.is just as good as the
girl ard the idea theyare not is the result
Of wrong understanding of the boy.
lie gave number Of Illustrations from
/ incidents from his own experience to
prove his assertion.
The fact that the Sunday Schools and
churches are made up largely Of girls and
women, with u small percent Of boys aud
men, notwithstanding The fact that
there are more men and hoys in the
state Of Missouri than women and girls,
is an indication to him that the boys are
not receiving proper attention from the
Sunday School. lie made an earnest
plea for greater endeayor in getting the
boys into the Sunday School,

the Missouri state board Of agriculture
has decided TO repent the experiment
this year Meetings will be held in the
parts Of the state where corn improve
ment is TO be given the most attention.
The aim will be to make the instruction
as practical as possible. Attention will
be given TO the value OF pedigreed seed
corn, aud especially to cultivation, tho
use Of commercial fertilizers, the seec-
tiou and treatment Of seed corn, tho
utilization Of corn fodder and how to
get tho moss out OF the corn crop. The

The success of the institute held here
during the winter is evidence that the
farmers in this locality are interested.

WHY MONEY IS NEEDED
LArIAR PAPER EXPLAINS ABOUT
NORMAL SUBSCRIPTIONS
Although State Institution the Lo-
cality That Secures it is EX-
pected TO do Something

In soliciting subscriptions iu Barton
county for securing the State Normal
the solicitors have mot with considerable
obiectiors. The Lamar Democrat en-
doavors to explain this matter as follows:
awe supposed that every one fully
understood why we must secure the
prumise of large amount OF money,
il we hoped to secure tho normal, but
if :there are any who believe other
wise, it is certainly high time they
were learning the facts.
"In the first place, il IL town that is
candidat, fer the location doesn't
furnish the grounds upon which &c
erect the buildings, and agree tr main
tain the schoo! from September lst,
1906, on until the legislature makes the
Appropriation, besidus offering some
sort of "A building to maintain the
school in, the first year, it is safe to say.
that its bid will not be considered atall.
There was no money appropriated by
the present legislature, either for the
construction Of buildings for the use Of
the scht oil or its maintenance, Tie people
who get the location will at least hayn
to take care Of these things until the
meeting of the rcxt Legislature.
"Then if tho fund subscribed is more
than enough TO do all OF these
things, it will be added by the state to
its own appropriation and be used Tor
the general maintenaoe or improvement
of the school The amount of money
that is offered to the state for the 10
cation is therefore going to be a very
powerful factor with the commission,
There are two general propositions
that will decide the commission. One
is a towns location and fitness for the
school, the other is the inducements in
tho form of grounds and cash bonus
that it will give the state for the loca
ton.
"This is why it is necessary to raise
money. But do not forget. our friend
that whatever amount you subscribe,
you will have to pay, only in chse we
get tho normal. If we don't get the
school we wont have to cash cur sub
scriptions.
ut looks like an article like this
would be unnecessary, but since we
have been strongly requested TO pub
lish such an explanation regarding the
subscription TO tho normal fund, we
comply with the hope that no citizen Of
the county will fail to have the facts,
which it contains brought home to him
