The special correspondent of the Chi
cago Tribune says as follows of King
Haakon's reception to the Norwegian
American delegations June a: king
Haakon and Queen Maud received the
Norwegian-American delegations at
2:45 o'clock in the afternoon. The en-
tire court was present. The visitors
from the United States spent twenty
five minutes with the king and queen.
DR.. Daae of Chicago first read an adj
dress congratulating King Haakon on
his ascension to the throne and eX-
pressing assurances of ths. affection
of Norwegians in America for Nor
way. He then handed the king the adj
dress engrossed on parchment. King
Haakon thanked the delegation, say.
ing he was fully aware of the value
to Norway of the moral support Of
Norwegians in America and that it
helped him when entering upon the
duties of his Office to know that he
had their friendship and moral sup
port. He also expressed his gratifca-
ton for the kindly sentiment of AM
orleans. F. G. Gade, Norway's vice
consul at Chicago, then presented King
Haakon with PORTFOLIO, saying that
this greeting also was from America
and particularly from Norwegian
musicians, artists, and poets there. He
told the king that the portfolio con-
tanned a poem written by the Rev.
Mr.. Bothne, set to music by Alfred
Faulson, which was sung at a demon
stration at night. Consul Gade then
presented Odin Renning Of Milwau-

There is more catarrh in this section of
the country than all other diseases put
together, and until the last few years was
supposed to be incurable. For a great
many years doctors pronounced it local
disease and prescribed local remedies,
and by constantly failing to cure with
local treatment, pronounced it incurable.
Science has proven catarrh to be a con-
stitutiona1 disease and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure. manufactured by F. j.. Cheney &
Co., Toledo, Ohio is the only constitu-

TO PROTECT THE EMPEROR.
Japanese Place Guards Around Palaces
of Korean Ruler.

Washington, July GA cablegram
has been received at the state depart
ment from American Consul General
Paddock at Seoul explaining that the
placing of police guards by the Japa-
nese around the imperial palace was
with the purpose of preserving order
and to insure the safety CT the person
of the Korean emperor.
While there is some ignorance here
as to what is going on in the troubled
court at Seoul it is the belief of the
officials that the Japanese, who are
charged with a practical protectorate
over the country, have discovered that
the native palace officials have been
secretly fomenting a rebellion with
the intention of dispossessing the en-
peror and incidentally driving the
japanese out of Korea.

CRUISING BIG TIMBER TRACT.
Deal Involving $I,5OO,OOO On In
GraVS HarbOr COunfrv.

urayS HarbOr Country.
Monteeano, Dec. 3O.-The National
Box 4 Lumber company, located at Ho-
qniam. has cruisers at work estimating
the timber on nearly 100 sections of
land, located in townships 1877, 1876,
1853 and III. The timber is all South
and east Of Montesapo, 'and some OF it
just across the river from here. It is
estimated that the total to be paid for
the timber will reach over $1,5OJ, 900,
the price to be paid running close to 81
per thousand. The timber will all have
to come out by logging railroad, and as
the road will necessarily run thr, ugh q
section OF country which only needs an
outlet to make it a rich one agricultur.
ally, there is small doubt but that the
road will be equipped fo- freight and
passenger traffic, and will eventually be
extended as regular railroad line to
connect with a transcOntnental line. The
company has an option with the Weyer.
hauerser company for the purchase of
the timber, the option running until in
March.
