First Correct Edition of lbsen's
"Brand" in Quarter of Century.
The first correct and reliable edi-
ton of Ibsen's dramatic poem,
Brand to be printed in quarter of
a Gentry has just been published by
Prof. julius E. Olson professor Of
Scandinavian languages and literature
at the University of Wisconsin. AL
though there have been sixteen edi-
tons of the poem printed in the past,
since the late '60s none has been with
out serious errors of text, and not one
has been annotated. Beside the thor
ough annexation of Prof. Olson's edi-
2tion, there is a biography of Ibsen to
the time of the writing of this drama,
and an Interpretation of the work,
which is particularly difficult, since 1t
is full of symbolism. Prof. Calvin
Thomas of the department OF Ger
manic languages at Columbia unlver-
sity. upon examination of this edition,
expressed his opinion that it makes
a new record for Scandinavian liter
ary scholarship in the United States

PICkPOCkFTS GET
AWAY WITH $4,000
II. c. Taylor of Seattle Is Robbed
in Corridor of Pullman
at St. Paul.
CAUSES GREAT EXCITEMENT

st. Paul, June 16. Pickpockets
made a haul of $4,000 from H. c.
Taylor, a Seattle capitalist, in the
union depot yesterday morning. The
loot consisted of cash, bank shares,
Twin City railway stock, real estate
deeds and other securities, the larger
part Of which are negotiable. The po-
lice are working on the case and a
general roundup of thieves is being
made in the hope of securing at least
some of the securities.
The robbery caused great excite
ment among the crowd of excursion
lists that filed the depot and the plat
forms. Shouts of stop, thief" and
"Police!" were heard, but the willy
thieves made their way across the
tracks and over the platforms Of
standing trains to Wacouta street
and they were soon out Of sight.
Occurs in Pullman Passaeeway.
Mr.. Taylor, his wife and four-year-
old son had been on European tour
and they arrived in the union depot
at $50 o'clock on a Northwestern
train from Chicago. Before reaching
the depot Mr.. Taylor transferred the
securities to the cash wallet which
he carried in an inside pocket of an
inner coat.
When the train stopped under the
sheds, Mr.. Taylor picked up his grips
and was followed out of the sleeper
by his wife and son: AS he got into
the narrow passageway leading to the
end platform two we'll dressed young
men jostled Mr.. Taylor and crowded
him into a corner.
Grab Wallet and Flee.
Mr.. Taylor had heavy steamer
coat over his regular coat, but this
was no barrier to the pickpockets. Be
fore their victim could help himself
or hold the robbers they had taken
the wallet from his coat and fed from
the platform. Mr. Taylor followed,
but the robbers had some advantage
of him. They were seen going over
the platforms of two Great Northern
trains and soon they we're making
hurried but decorous escape up Wa
cOuta street.
Mr.. Taylor reported the robbery to
the police and every effort is being
made to trace the robbers.

SATIRE ON SPEED LAW.
La Crosse Motor Car Owners Say It's
No Fun if They Can't Go Faster.

No Fun If They Can't Go Faster.
Apparently as a satire on the speed
law, the La Crosse Automobile club
has selected a big touring car from
those in it's membership, has hung
out the sign, ''This Car Is Going at the
Rate of Twelve Miles an Hour and
a grinning chauffeur is moving lazily
through the business streets and
boulevards as demonstration OF
what compliance with the city ordi-
nances means.
The machine may be running at
twelve miles an hour, but, if it is, COM
pliance with the law would deprive
automobiling of most of its pleasure,
according to some of the automobile
owners. The speed limit outside the
city is twenty-five miles an hour,
which is somewhat slower than most
of the owners have been running in
the city streets.
The activity of the Automobile club
followed the arrest and fining OF w. ).
Cargill and L. Croft, well known own
ers of speed cars. The secretary of
the organization has issued letters to
members informing them OF the In
tention of the association to conform
with the law and cooperate with the
city officials in enforcing the speed
ordinances within the city limits. The
letter announces that members violat-
ing the speed laws will be warned,
and continued disobedience will result
in their being dropped from member
ship. The La Crosse club is mem
