THE FAMOUS KENSlNGTON STONE.
Oldest Document Of American History 10 be Placed on Exhibition
At the Swedish village, Minn. State Fair Sept 10 H.

The oldest document of American
history will be on exhibition in the
Swedish Village at the Minnesota
State Fair, Sept. 6 to IL, and
should prove one of the most inter-
esting features of this latest novel;
ty to be offered the patronage of
the State Fair.
In 1898 a stone inscribed on two
sides with runic characters of an
cient and weathered appearance,
was discovered underneath a large
tree near Kensingten, Minn., by
two men who were engaged in
grubbing out the timber. The
stone will be on free exhibition at
the Swedish Village of the Mime
sofa State Fair, Sept. 6 to IL, 1909,
and the inscription reads as fol.
lows:
Eight Swedes and twenty two
Norwegians upon a journey of dis
covery from Vinland-Nova Scotia
westward. We had a camp by
two skerries-rocks in the water
one days journey north Of this
stone. We were out fishing one
day. When we returned home we
found ten men red with blood and
dead. Ave Maria! Save US from
evil!
"We have ten men by the sea to
look after our vessel Al CD day S
journey from this island. Year
1862"
Peculiarities in the language
prove that the inscription was made
by Swede.
Says Hjalmar R. Holland, A. M. :
"The evidence proving this to be a
Willmar tribune., 1909-09-01
genuine rhinestone of 1862 are two

genuine rhinestone of 1862 are two
fold:
1.-The perfect harmony of the
language in the inscription with
the language in other literature of
that time such as Kong Eriks Kro-
nike,' Den Gamle Konningelov, ,
Den Skaanske Low and Others.
''The harmony of the runic char
acters of Marikragen, the only other
runic inscription of Sweden dating
from the fourteenth century. Mar
ikragens runes were not, however,
accessible to students until its pub
lication in 1llustrerad Svensk Liter
aturhistoria several years after the
Kensington stone was found.
"A number of affidavits have
been secured from old and reliable
farmers who live near the finding
place and all agree that the stone
was found embraced in the roots of
a tree in such a manner that the
stone must have been there at least
as long as the tree. These affida-
Wits all state that the stone was
found underneath an ash about ten
inches in diameter, that one of the
roots penetrated almost directly
downward along the side of the
stone and was flat on the side where
it had been in contact with the
stone; that the other large root had
followed a horizontal course across
the face Of the stone until it had
reached its further edge. where it
had made an abrupt turn and con.
tinued downward along the other
Willmar tribune., 1909-09-01

|side of the stone. This root too was
flat on the inside. From these aff-
davits it is plain that the seed of
this tree must have sprouted upon
it's edge and that the first flexible
roots had wound around its moist
surface before becoming rigid.
''As this tree grew in what had
been until recently a dense forest
and upon a high elevation, it's
growth must have been slow. Be-
ing ten inches in diameter. it is es-
timated by competent foresters that
it could not have been less than 40
years old. Being found in 1898,
40 years would bring us back to
1858, or about ten years before
Douglas county, where it was
found, had a single white settler.
At the time there was not settler
within 100 miles of the finding
place and the nearest railroad sta
tion was 400 miles away.
"The possibility of someone hav-
ing planted the stone there since
white men came there is therefore
quite excluded.
''Ihese affidavits were secured by
DR.. Knut Holgh Of Minneapolis
and the writer and are in keeping
of the former.
1.-The meaning Of the inscription
upon this rhinestone is SO plain that
it hardly needs any explanation.
According to it, eight Swedes and
twenty-five Norwegians determined
in company to explore this great
continent with its strange inhabi-

with wonder from the shore. They
start out westward from Nova Sco-
tia, or Vinland as it was then
called. They presumably sail up
the St. Lawrence gulf and river to
the first rapids. Here they leave
their vessel with ten men in charge
while the major party push up
along the great lakes. Finally they
reach the interior of Minnesota,
200 miles from Lake Superior, far
up among the headwaters of the
Mississippi. Here some of the par
ty go fishing one day, leaving ten
men in camp. Suddenly these are
attacked by a band of bloodthirsty
savages, a fierce hand to hand
struggle on the shore ensues and
the ten explorers are left dead on
the field. When the fishing party
return they discover to their horror
the mutilated bodies of their COM
rades, now stitfened in death.
Breathing a fervent prayer to the
Virgin Mary to save them from this
unknown enemy and throwing a
rough burial mound over their
friends, they hastily leave the sad
spot. They take refuge upon an

suited by nature for an inscription

savage wilderness they carve their
tragic story upon it that future
generations may know of their fate

Speaking about gratitude, re-
marked the wireless telegraph oper-
ator of the steamship Comanche, re-
minds me, of the time I tried to rescue
a United States ~battleship. We were
running down of Hatteras one rough
night when, about midnight, I heard
some one trying to send a wireless
message in the Government code to
the naval station at Beaufort, s. G..
I happened to know the naval code
Continental Morse, they call it-and
1 copied the message as follows:
From U. S. S. Johnston,
ITO Commandant, Beaufort, s. G.
Find it impossible to land in boats. Sea
growing fast; Can you send tug alongside
The Johnston operator repeated it
several times. Finally I heard Beau
fort give his O. K. Then came the
reply:
"To Captain x, u. S. S. Johnston.
Must try to land at Fort Point. Can.
not send help until daybreak. Will show
red light at best point: on beach:
"(Signed) Commandment T."
I read the message twice TO see If I
were awake. Only one conclusion
seemed possible-a United States
man-of-war wrecked somewhere along
the Hatteras shoals-a rising sea-no
help for hours.
With visions of a personal letter
from the Secretary of War, not to
mention the gratitude of a nation

Chlcago.-The crime and casualty
records for 1908, as collected by the
Chicago Tribune in its annual sum-
mary, show some interesting phases.
Probably the most striking feature
is the steady increase in the number
of suicides and the great percentage
of these that are traceable to the
business depression and e9barrass-
ments of the year. Self-destruction
due to these causes grew fvefold over
the record of the year before, despite
the fact that the financial squeeze be-
gan early in the fall Of 1907. AS a
weapon of self-destruction the revol-
yer gained greatly in favor. \
Embellishments involved a larger
total than in 1907, and a peculiar
phase of this record is that more than
two-thirds of this crime, figured on a
monetary basis, is chalked up against
bank officials and employees. The re-
form wave seems to have had a good
effect on public officials.
The homicide record-deaths OF
all kinds by personal violence-ln-
creased over 1907, but fell short of
that Of the previous year. The death
toll for holiday sports aggregated
1858 deaths and 1920 injuries. .
The number of suicides for 1908
was 1882 as reported in the public
press. The following list shows the
steady increase of self-murder: 1899,
$40; 1900, 6735; 1901, 7245;
1902, 1921; 1903, 1897; 1904. 9240;
1905, 1882; 1906, 1925; 1907, 49,
1870 ond one 10
The causes of these suicides are
stated as follows, the classification,
as in the case of homicides, being a
general one: Dependency, 1913; I'M
known, 1871; insanity, $40; domes-
tic infelicity, IT'S, ill health, 71S;
business losses, 632; liquor, 536, and
disappointed in love, 519.

BURTON SUCCEEDS FORAKER
Legislative aucusN dominates Him
at Columbus, Ohio.
Charles p. Taft, Brother Of the Presi-
dent-elect, Withdrew From Con-
test to Defeat Senator Foraker.

Columbus, Ohio.-By reclamation
Theodore Burton, Representative i'm
Congress from one of the Cleveland
districts for fifteen years, vas nomin-
ated to succeed Joseph Benson Fora
ker, of Cincinnati, in March next in
the United States Senate. The nom
ination was conferred on him by the
Republican joint legislative caucus,
and the election will follow on Janu-
airy IL.
Usually ,Burton's appearances have
not been marked by the enthusiasm
of the crowds. He is reserved in
manner and is lacking in so-called
popular qualities, but when he was
escorted to the Senate chamber to &C.
cept the Senatorial nomination there
was an outburst Of applause, and this
was followed by frequentcheers which
interrupted his speech. Mr.. Burton
plainly was deeply touched by the
islators and friends, and tears glis-
tened in his eyes as he spoke to the
General Assembly. He said that the
true measure of their success would
be the benefits they could confer upon
the public. He urged them MOTTO be
swayed by i'll considered popular cla-
NOR.
Burton's name was put in nomina-
ton before the joint caucus by State
Senator Matthews, of Cleveland, and
was seconded by Senator Thorne b.
ker, of Cincinnati, who was to ave
presented the name of C. P. Taft.
The secret of Charles P. Taft's
withdrawal from the Senatorial con-
test became known, and the story; is
confirmed by Mr.. Burton, who says
the man who was really responsible
for the action Of President-elect Taft
was Frank H. Hitchcock, Chairman OF
the National Republican Committee.
When Hitchcock saw that Foraker
would win if Burton and Taft became
tied up, he went at once to Judge Taft
and advised him that his brother
should withdraw from the race.

It is calculated that the yearly

is not far from $400,000,O0 and
this increases at the rate of about

expenditure, and it comes out of the

CRICKET AND A SWALLOW.
Some Odd Experiences With Birds
and Animals on the Field.

duu GAlludS OA N4S
The other day an amusing incident
occurred at Rossall when a hare
dashed in among the players. T. j..
Hearne, who was about to bowl, tried
to hit the hare instead of the opposing
wicket. A. N. Horribly threw his hat
at the animal, but it was too sharp
for him and ran to c%overpoint. Horn
by. Spooner and Frank Harry made
desperate efforts to secure a hare
pie, but in vain. The hare escaped
from all the players.
Tom. Hearne, the uncle of ]. T..
Hearne, was more successful than his
nephew a good many years ago, when
he bowled a very wide ball at a
pigeon which flew across the Isling-
ton ground during the Middlesex vs..
Motifs match. He killed the bird on
the spot. Hearne did not eat the re-
suit of his craftsmanship. He had
the pigeon stuffed, and it did duty as
an exhibit at the Jubilee Exhibition
in 1897.
Birds have figured very, curiously
in many cricket matches. sgd Greg.
DRY was one day fielding at his usual
place, c%oyerpoint. One Of the players,
thinking perhaps that Gregory was
not so keen as usual, startled him by
shouting: Look out, Sgd" Greg.
DRY, seeing something black flying
past, shot out his hand and caught,
not the ball he expected, but a swat
low.
While Nottingham was playing
Gloucestershire at. Trent Bridge in
1875 the game had to be suspended
for a time because a large number OF
swallows few across the wicket. A
seagull was the means of stopping
another game the Gloucestershire
eleven were playing In. Although the
match was a county championship.
the whole eleven, including the broth.
ers Grace, left off their game to take
coek-shies at that seagull.
A bowler killed a swallow at
Godalming while bowling to the Earl
Of W%interton. The ball struck the
swallow in its flight. Adog was once
killed by Browne, Of Brighton, the
fastest bowler of his day.
AS the result of a wager a certain
trundler won the Earl of Tankerville
&100 by hitting a feather laid on the
pitch for him to bowl at.
Perhaps the widest ball ever
bowled was sent down by Tom EN-
NETT, the great Yorkshireman. He
had just had one of his deliveries hit

the wicket to send down an eek!

delivering the ball he slipped. The
ball few off toward square leg, caught
the innocent umpire standing there
in the ribs and knocked him clean
over. Everyone laughed except the
bowler and the umpire. 1t was dan
gerous to mention @wides" in EN-
mettss hearing after that.
E. Winter, an Oxford player, once
had a stroke Of good luck. He
knocked the three stumps almost
horizontal without removing the
balls. While in the act of cutting a
ball he brought his bat down on the
top of the wicket so hard that the
balls were driven into the stumps.-
