There have been rumors afoat to
the effect that there is a disagreement
in the cabinet. particularly between
the minister for foreign affairs and tho
minister of agriculture. But the truth
of the rumors cannot be ascertained
at present.
During the past few days the eyes
Of Sweden have been turned on st.
Petersburg. where, on May 3. the
popular Swedish prince, Wilhelm. was
united in marriage to the Princess
PaVolona Of Russia. King Gustaf and
the ear we're both present at the cer-
emony. which took place in the lat
ter's palace of Tzarskoe Selo.
The bride is a lady IF rare beauty
n will surely become very popular
in Sweden owing to her amiability and
attainments. a dispatch from ST. Pc
tersburg speaks Of her in this c0mpli-
mentary fashion:
She speaks French and German
perfectly and is making great progress
in Swedish, which is only natural, as
her teacher is the young Swedish
prince. Most OF her life has been
spent in Moscow, and she is Russian
TO the backbone. a devout member OF
the orthodox church and an enthusi-
astic admirer OF Russian art and lit
erature. She is particularly fond Of
the works of To,stoy and is proud OF
having received several letters from
the great writer. Her aunt made .
home for a number OF officers and SOL
diers who had been wounded in tho
war with Japan. at her country homo
in the south. and no visitor was moro
welcomed by the sufferers than tho
Grand Duchess Marie. She used to
spend hours reading to the patients
and would help the nurses to tend
them. The oor fellows used to call
her the fairy princess"
King Gustaf was escorted to St. Pc
tersburg by a squadron Of Swedish
warships and arrived in the Russian
capital April 80. After landing he ~
! viewed his guard Of honor and pro
ceeded by train to Tzarskee 6elo,
where he was the guest Of the czaS
until after the wedding.
This pleasing event came at an op-
perfume time. As will b. remembered,
Sweden and Russia have not been on
the best Of terms for some time, the
people of the smaller country having
been suspicious of the cars moves in
the Baltic, and the determination OF
Russia to fortify the Aaland islands
in spite of the treaty forbidding It, ruff
fed the temper Of King Gustafs sub
jects unpleasantly. Now. however.
after the rulers Of the two countries
have sat together at the festal board
and helped to speed a happy young
couple on the pathway Of life," 1t IL
to be expected that there will be
friendship and amity instead OF dis
trust between the two nations.

Uncle Sam Is To Establish Dipping
Plant in Black Hills.

important innovation in the forest
work in the Black Hills. Two officials
from Washington, W. r. Wheaton and

plant that will be Of the greatest ben
eft to timber users.

$1,000, will be established at Engle-
wood, south of Deadwood, and will be
of the open tank variety, a place
where all the bug -infected timber in
the Black Hills may be brought m
specially treated to make it nor dur
able and serviceable for building and
other purposes. The treatment is
similar to that Of c~reosoting bricks
and will require some machinery and
pumps and tanks.

making some tests along this line in
the Black Hills national forest for
some time past and has been SO sue
cessful that it was decided a great
saving could be made on the bug-kill-
ed timber. Of which there is a large
quantity, by this plant where the
treatment facilities are handy. 1t is
declared that timber of this sort that
would otherwise last about four years
will after treatment hold fully thirty
five years. 1t is planned to ask the
cooperation of lumbermen and users

users of this treated timber will be
charged the cost of such treatment to-
