Fire in New CAPITAL.

The new state capital building was
threatened with fire. A few minutes
after Charles Truax, the night watch
man,. went to work at o'clock in the
evening", he saw smoke coming from
the basement of the building. The
superintendent and electrician were
called from their homes, but the fire
could not be located for some time.
Finally flames burst from a window on
the west side and then an alarm was
sent in.
Two Minneapolis fire companies re-
sponded and the fire was found in
the file room of the Historical society.
The flames were running through the
racks of newspapers and other doc
uments. and burning them on the outer
edges. The flames were extinguished
after an hours work. The damage is
unknown, as the records have no value
except for their antiquity. How tho
fire started is a mystery, but it is
Thought to have been caused by cleo
tric?swires.

- l.
Bjornstjerne Bjornson, the Norwe-.
CLAN poet and politician, is a man
whose name cannot be kept out of the
press for any length Of time. This
time he has made the German press
busy. A few days ago a Danish rally
was held in southern Denmark, close
to the German boundary line. There
was q strong anti-Ger1nan feeling on
account of the way the Danes are har-
assed and oppressed by the German
government on the German side of the
line. People had gathered from far
and wide, and the demonstration was
a notable one. Bjornson was there.
He caught the spirit of the throng,
and in an address which he made he
explained that he sympathized with
the German people, but denounced the
bureaucracy, militarism and coercive
policy Of Germany. In spite of his
Pan-German views he was against:
uniting with a country which tramples
upon the Danish people in Slesvig. The
Danes present listened to Bjornson's
ant1-German talk with ecstasy, and
they are making as much political cap
ital as they can out Of it. The Ger
man papers say that the Danes will
suffer for it But we guess not. Den
mark is too close to England just now.

Wolf farmino.

Winona-With the view to tiscour-
aging wolf farming" if it is being
carried on in /Winona county, the
county board has reduced the bounty
paid for cub wolves, and has increased
the bounty paid for old wolves. In
stead of adding 81 to the 81 allowed
by the state for cubs, the county adds
only 81, making the total bounty for
cubs 81. On the other hand, the board
has decided to add $3.50 to the $3.50
allowed by the state for old wolves,
making total of $40. 1t is thought
that with ten paid for old wolves a
greater effort will be made to kill these
pests, and of course in this way stop

Minneapolis-For the first time in
many years, large steamship passed
up the river under the Lake st. bridge
to the government dam. It was the
United States steamship Mckenzie, an
old sidewheeler of the earlier type and
was about 125 feet long.
A large crowd, attracted by the now
city,, gathered on the bridge and
watched it as it made it's way slowly
but surely up the stream. On board
was a large group of visitors. It
seemed to have no difficulty in navi-
eating, and followed rather closely to
the st. Paul shore.
When it reached the dam, 1t turned
around and proceeded down stream
almost Immediately.
