Mr.. Due, an old man who was form

Ea newspaper article to the
controversy about Ibsen's 'Terja
Vigen.'' Mr.. Due was personal friend
of Ibsen in the forties, and 1bsen read
his 'Catil1na' and other early produc
tons to him. But 1bsen never said
anything to indicate that ne had an
epic like r"Terje Vigen'' on his mind

Due seems to think that no such per-

authorities are pretty evenly d.

MINNEAPOLIS Grows.

Minneapolis is past thu,
275,000 mark, and with the many per-
sons who have come in the past two
months to make Minneapolis their
home, the city can be truly said to be
close to the 100000 mark.
This result is shown by the new 1906
directory which will be out next week
The directory this year contains 1872
005 names.
Using the multiple of 2 IA, which is
lower than is generally used in COM
putting population from the directory
the Minneapolis book indicates a pop
ulation of 297,011, a gain of 1870
since the issue of the last directory.
Using the figures of the state census
taken last year which showed 261,274
as basis and adding the increase Of
1880, the present popula ton would bt

Lower Rates.

Minneapolis-Th announcement by
the Great Northern Saturday granting
a milling-in-transit rate to Minneapolis
mills, has made the other roads sit up
and take notice, but no announcement
of any action was made yesterday by
any of them. The Great Northern rate
makes q reduction of w cents and
more per 100 pounds. Something also
is expected from Chicago, for the new
schedule is a move to equalize condi-
lions between Minneapolis and Chica-
go, and Chicago has been known to
object to the elimination of advantages
it has enjoyed.

A sort of medieval pirate story is
told from the Baltic sea. The Danish
schooner Peter left Lubbock many
weeks ago. Nothing was heard from
the craft for long while. But the
other day it returned to Copenhagen,
where it's commander, Captain Alert
sen, offered the following explanation:
He took his vesse! to Lubbock, where
he was to receive a cargo of boxes
said to contain copper and iron, bound
were hired, and the crew consisted Of
four men when he departed. July 8
he reached the Kvarken narrows. be-
tween Sweden and Finland. At this
place the captain was suddenly sur
rounded by his men, who pointed their
revolvers at him and give him the
choice between imprisonment and
death. 1t did not take him long to
choose the former, and he was closed
up in the fore cabin. He was kept
meanwhile he had no idea where he
was going. He soon realized, however,
that his vessel was carrying arms to
Finland. He heard that the boxes
were opened, and a target practice was
started on the deck. He was also
under the impression that all of the
cargo was unloaded on the coast of
Finland. But he was not over anxious,
for he was treated fairly we'll. When
the six days we're past his prison was
opened. But he met an entirely new
crew. who explained to him that now
he was again commander Of his
schooner. The murineers had left as
soon as they had unloaded the cargo.
By means of brides and threats they
had induced three Finnish fishermen to
board the vessel and assist the captain
in taking the vessel back to Copen-
hagen. This is the end of the story
for the time being; but this mysterious
matter will no doubt be carefully
sifted by somebody

Clever Thief.

Little Falls-A clever sneak thief
stole A.. NJ :Peterson's trousers from
beneath his pillow and distracted about
$170 in cash and checks, without be-
ing discovered. Peterson, who keeps
candy store on the West side, had con-
siderable cash with which to take up
the checks of the workmen at a nearby
mill. When he left his store for his
hotel he had $35 in money and several
checks which he had cashed. These
he placed in his trousers pocket and
upon retiring placed the trousers under
his pillow. When he awoke in the
morning the trousers were lying in the
middle Of the floor and the valuables
were gone. The checks had been in
dorsed by the payee and it is possible
that the thief will have little trouble
in cashing them. There is no clue

Thanks to the recent ukase of Gear

Question Of Doos.

Crookston-This city is much agi-
tated over the solution of the dog ques-
ton. The question has arisen as to the
method of treating the dogs of farm
ers that come into the city with their
masters and consequently are under
the ban of the city ordinances prohibit
ing the running at large of unmuzzled
CANNES. Three cases have come before
the city council in sequence and the
problem is a puzzling one.
The farmer when he comes to town
to do his trading usually is accom-
panied by the family pet. The city
has crackerjack dog catcher, and the
rural dog, not showing a tag on his
collar and not having the wisdom of
his urban fellow, is quickly in the tolls.
The farmers in each instance have
asked the city council to release the
dogs and refund the money they have
paid for their redemption.

Big Races.

Hamline-The Mime ota, State Fair
OF 1906 will easily out-class all it's
predecessors. Even at this early date
1t Is certain that the exhibits are to be
more numerous than in 1905, when
many departments were more than
doubled in size. And this year the
great live stock amphitheater, which
mas been under construction all spring
and summer, will be used for judging
and selling cattle and horses and will
be the center Of attraction on the
grounds. Around it will gather the
greatest livestock display ever made
at state fair.
The fair is to be held during the
week OF Sept. 3 to 8 and the great
live stock amphitheater will be opened
and dedicated on Monday James J.
Hill will make the dedicatory address.
1t will be great and significant oc-
casion. On the same day, in the after
noon Dan Patch, King of. PAGERS, and
Cresceus, King Of Trotters, will go
against their own worlds records,
While great amusement program will
also be given. It will thus be seen
that Monday, Sept. 3, the opening day
of the fair, will be one of the greatest
days Of the year.

DEN MARK.

Iceland has exported large quantities
of sailed mutton to England since the
Chicago packing houses got into
trouble
The members of the althing, or leg
lslature, of Iceland, who have been
visiting in Denmark, were entertained
almost uninterruptedly so that they
hardly found time for a conference with
the rigsdag committee. The confer
ence was of purely political nature.
1t was supposed to be secret affair.
But it is known that the Icelanders
firmly demanded greater independence
for Iceland. Mr.. Skull Thoroddsen,
who has aired his views in the Danish
press, was the spokesman Of the Ice
landers, and as none of the others OBJ
jected ITO what he said they were sup
posed to agree with him.
The British army council, which is
eagerly endeavoring to give the British
army instruction and training in
Swedish gymnastics, has engaged a
foreign officer to superintend this
branch Of the work. The Swedes were
somewhat surprised when it was an
nounced that a Danish officer had been
selected to teach Swedish gymnastics
in the British army.
A part of Lyngby was destroyed by
fire. A valuable race horse was burnt
to death. The insurance on the prop

1t is reported that King Frederick
will visit Kaiser Wilhelm at the be-
ginning of October and subsequently
go to London to see King Edward.

NORWAY.

NORWAY.
A tussle between badger and a dog
is reported from Sem. The dog found
a badger in the woods and after a
little skirmishing the dog got a good
hold with his teeth at the top of the
neck of the badger. But he could
not kill the badger that way. Nor
would he let go of his hold. So he
led the badger down to a lake and
waded out to drown the badger In
his eagerness the dog pushed his own
head so far down that he had to drop
the badger and take a breath. But by
this time the badger was so far gone
that those who witnessed the struggle
easily dispatched him.
Colonel Stang, who, as a former
member of the cabinet, has a right to
run for the storting in any district, is
taking advantage of this right in one
district after another. He makes a
speech and is generously applauded,
and when that part of the program is
finished his hearers Cd to work and
nominate another man. The people
do not want him because he was large
ly responsible for the expenditure OF
millions of dollars for forts along the
Swedish frontier. War houses are far
from popular in Norway this year.
The defiant anti military attitude of
the Socialists seems to react more or

that it would he unwise to make a
