Thrane and his family came to this
country in 1864 and settled in Eau
Claire. His work in this country was
chiefly devoted to Journalism. He was
a familiar figure in this city, and
could be seen any day walking about
the town with his cane and his two
big hounds, inseparable companions.
The two dogs were buried with him.
In 1888, nineteen years after he
came to this country, Thrane returned
to Norway to deliver lectures there
on conditions in America, but the re-
dictionary influences were so strong
even then that the Workingmen's as
ISOLATION at Christiania refused him
the use of its hall. OF late years JUS
tice has been done this great Norwe-
gian patriot, and today an ever-grow-
ing party in Norway maintains the
principles for which he worked.
The labor movement of 1S4S will be
known in history as the "Thrane
movement" Organized labor in Nor.
way today celebrates his memory, his
picture-like Lincoln's in this coun-
try-graces every home, and he Is
honored and revered as a hero and q
patriot.

Portable Kentucky DistiIIery.

1t is claimed by the citizens OF
Caney Fork, in Adair county. that
there has been a regular system of
moonshining in hat section for sew
eral years. 1t is said that these VIC
lators of the law will set up a still
and operate It for a few days, then
tear up and move to another location.
To carry out this plan successfully
almost a dozen men are interested
and none of them ever makes or sells
the product any greater length OF
time.
The location now is near where sew
eral months ago a man operated a
blind tiger at the corner OF Adair,
Russell and Cumberland counties, and
so successfully did he conduct his af-
fairs by selling whisky to an Adair
county man in Russell county and
vice versa that he might have kept on
for years, so far as the strong arm OF
the law was concerned. but the citi-
zens took matters in their hands and
persuaded him 10 leave.

MEASLES IN vERMlLLIoN.
Occupants Compelled to Remain In
doors Until Quarantine Is Raised.

There are many people in South Da-
kota who do not believe that people
should be Quarantined for measles and
not for smallpox. Yet that is the law.
There are several cases Of measles In
Vermillion, and in each instance the
occupants Of the house are compelled
to remain there until the quarantine
Is raised. There is no smallpox at
Vermillion, but if there was the only
thing the superintendent of the board
of health could do would be to tack
uD a card on a home as a warning to
those who might wish to enter with
out knowing that there existed a con
tagiOuS disease. But the people can
come and go at their own free will.
The law governing smallpox was
passed two years ago, and 1t was evil
IDENTIFY thought that as long as the dis
ease was In such light form there a
no need of quarantine regulations as
district as they had been previously.
Then, too. IT was believed that taking
of the quarantine would result in
more people being v~aCcinat"d, but it
is doubtful if a hundred men, women
and Chil1rCn have been vaCcinated il
the past two years.

A COINCIDENCE.
Two Children Victims Of Precisely the
Same Kind Of Accidents.

Two children at widely separated
same TIM, were victims Of precisely
the same kind OF accidents and mar
rOwly escaped locing their lives by
being burned TO death. One OF the
victims was the little daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. Paul Werth, who live on a
While burning thistles the children
were playing around the fire, when
one Of them sat down in a clump Of
thistles that was on fire. Instantly
the flames were communicated to her
dress, and, had 1t not been for the
heroic work Of a hired man, she would
have been burned to death. The
hired man rushed to her assistance
and succeeded in saving her life, but
not until his hands had been badly
burned. The little girl was seriously
burned, but will recover The other
victim vas Celia Kenyon, the little
daughter Of residents Of Gary. While
playing with a bonfire she, without
realizing the danger, backed into the
fire, and in an instant her clothing
was ablaze. Fortunately her mother
heard her cries and rushed to her as
sistance, arriving just in time to say
her daughters life. After strenuous
efforts the mother succeeded in ex-
tinguishing the flames, but in doing Sc

and arms.

SYNOD CLOSES ITS SESSION.
Lutherans of Three States Gather at
Watertown.

The meeting Of the German Luther
an synod Of Minnesota. comprising
the States of Minnesota, South Dakota
and North Dakota, adjourned at
Watertown after one of the most i'm
portant meetings in its history. The
closing session was entirely taken up
with the question of moving the DR..
Martin Luther college, the school of
the synod, from New Ulm, Mimi, to
st. James, Mimi.
More room is needed at once for
the institution than the present facili-
ties afford, and, as there is consider
able dissatisfaction among the clergy
regarding the attitude of the city of
New Ulm to the college, they are not
at all adverse to listening to the
proposition of ST. James for removing
the school to that city. Through the
business mems union of St. James the
synod can get the Park hotel in that
city, which cost $104, 600, for 100000,
and it Is intimated hat 81 900 Of this
can be raised in the city. The hotel
Is a four-story brick building, SOX12S
feet, and modern throughout, with a
land plot of two blocks. The furni-
ture IN the building is valued at $685.
900. It was urged by Messrs. Burns
and Rempal of st. James, who were
sent by the business mems union of
that city ii appear before the synod
and present their claims, hal the first
two floors of the hotel would accom-
modate the school work Of the institu-
ton, and the third and fourth floors
with their 129 rooms, seventy Of
which are with bath, furnish ample
dormitOry facilities for the college.
BY motion the st. James proposition
was referred to the trustees Of the
college to investigate. and upon their
recommendation action will doubtless
be taken at the June meeting of the
synod, which will be the silver ami
versary Of the founding Of the school.

BOOST SOUTH X O
Federation Of Commercial Clubs viii
Give State Some Good Advertising.

The South Dakota State Federation
Of Commercial clubs is doing all that
it can TO advertise South Dakota. AT
a recent meeting of the club 1t was
decided to procure a large number of
booster buttons" which will be sold
throughout the state to raise funds
with which to prosecute the work OF
advertising the state. In an effort to
secure a suitable design for the but
ton the federation has decided to Of
fer a cash prize Of S25 to the person
who would suggest a suitable design.
This offer is open to any one in the
state, and it affords an easy way to
pick up a snug cash prize. Besides
the button plan the federation will ap-
peal direct to the business men of che
state for free will contributions for
the cause.
At the recent meeting It was sug-
gested that an official correspondent
be located at some central point,
probably Pierre, who shall answer all
correspondence. Doan Robinson has
been selected for the position.
A finance committee consisting of
George Schlosser of Sioux Falls, A. J.
Mccain Of Rapid City and Samuel
Mortimer of Belle Fourche was also
appointed.
These booster buttons will be sold
at 81 each, and the federation hopes
in this tanner to raise considerable
money.

Opposition Program Develops at Can
ton to Thorson and His Associates.

Canton is in the midst of an inter-
esting fight with a corporation. The
people are represented by Mayor r.
P. Dean and Councilmen A. Repp and
F. l. Minis. The corporation is led
by its president, Thomas ThorsOn, O.
S. Clifford and John Isakson. The

seeking a new franchise. The city Is
paying the light company a rate Of
81 a month for each arc light based
upon a midnight-moonlight schedule,
and individual patrons are charged
At the rate of 20 cents.
The leaders In the fight against the
company ask that it meet competition
and make certain concessions to the
city.
The city council has been confer
ring with the Sioux Falls Light and
Power Company of Sioux Falls, which
agrees to furnish the people a cur
rent at s cents per k. ". h., to be
metered at Sioux Falls, the city of
Canton to construct and maintain the
means for conveying the current.

ton. One-fourth Of the stock is own
ed however. by j. F. Ferguson of Min
neapolis, and another one-fourth Is
owned by the First National bank Of
his city. A majority of it's stock is

JAIL BREAKER REcAPTURED.
Prompt Action Of Domestic Prevents
Wholesale Delivery.

Sheriff Martin, who is in the begin
ming of his first term as sheriff of
Lake county, has already had the ex-
%perience Of a jail delivery. Of the
three inmates of the Jail one, known
as Big George made his escape, and
tn others would have followed but
for the courage Of n Of the domestic
employed in the office, who has been
accustomed to go to the cells and
bring back the empty dishes in which
meals are served the prisoners. AS
soon as big Georges" cell was
opened he made a bold dash for lib
erty and escaped from the building.
Telephone messages were sent to
nearby towns, and the sheriff soon
found that the fugitive was in the
southeastern part Of the county.
Later he returned with his man,
whom he found near the Moody coun-
ty line, having been out two nights
mad a day. He says the prisoners had
all plotted to make a dash for liberty.

State News of Interest
TO II REFERENDUM.
At Least Two More Propositions Are
to BE Submitted.

At least two more propositions Will
be submitted to the people through
the referendum at the next general
election, In case a sufficient number
Of signatures can be secured to the
petitions which are being circulated.
One of these is the electric headlight
law, which created so much Conten-
ton between the railway engineers
and the firemen during the last ses-
sion, 1t having been opposed by the
engineers and backed by the iremen.
The referendum petition is a move on
the part of the engineers, who are
as much opposed to the present law
now as they were when it was pass
ed. The railroads themselves take
the position that the present law will
not work out on practical tests to Sc
cure the best and most practical head
light possible, and will install 1t as
soon as they have completed their
work now being done along that line.
The other proposition which Is in
line for the referendum is the militia
law. This is being opposed by the
socialistic element in the Black Hills,
lead by Freeman Knowles, who char
acterizes the law as having been
framed for the intent Of depressing
the laboring man, and In favor Of the
CORPORATIONS. His work is being done
among the labor unions in the Black
Hills, and If he can get enough sen
timent worked up, that long law will
be attached to the ballot for the vot-

New Settlers Complaining as to Gov
eminent Of Affairs at Dallas and
Gregory.
The governor is receiving numerous
complaints of the manner in which
affairs are being conducted at Greg
DRY and Dallas, so far as the new set
tiers are concerned, when they arrive
at those towns on their way to the
Trip county lands. The complaints
charge not only hat the towns are
being run wide open" in violation Of
the law so far as saloons and gam
bling places are concerned, but that
the games" for relieving the new
corners Of their cash are openly
winked at by the authorities. Attor-
ney General Clark has taken 1t upon
himself to look into such violations
of the law at other places in the state,
and it may be possible that he will
call upon the authorities Of Gregory
county to be more active, if the com.
plants continue to come in as they
have done in the past few days.

Indications point to the fact that
the present commercial treaty be-
tween Sweden and Germany will be
considerably revised before 1t is re-
newed. The following utterance
comes from the National Zeitung, one
Of the leading papers Of Germany:
Judging from authentic reports the
present commercial treaty between
Sweden and Germany will not be In
force after July !, 1910. Already this
year and surely not later than next
fall, negotiations will be under way
for drawing up a new treaty. While
at present a committee is engaged In
Sweden in revising the customs tax.
the details Of which are kept secret,
It is firmly believed in Germany that
the customs taxes will be materially
increased. Germany believes hat
Sweden is in this respect discriminate
ing against her, and a protest from
the German government Is likely to
be forthcoming In the near future"
