Wilson Retains His Place.
Only one member of the Roosevelt
cabinet retains his portfolio under
Mr.. Taft That is James Wilson of
Iowa, secretary of agriculture. So ex'
cellent had been his work in that posi-
tion that there was no serious talk OF
making change. Born in Scotland in
1885, Mr.. Wilson came to the United
States in 1852 and three years later
settled in Iowa. In 1861 he engaged in
farming in Tama county. He was a
member of the Iowa assembly for
three sessions and speaker of the
house for one session, and also was a
member of the Iowa state railway
commission. In 1873 he was elected
to congress, serving two terms, and
was sent to the national legislature
again for one term in 1888. He was
regent of the State university of

and engaged in the wholesale grocery
business. In this and other CONNER.
cial pursuits he has amassed, a large
fortune. Before entering the cabinet
he disposed of his holdings in the big
grocery firm and resigned as director
of the Commercial National bank OF

been interested in movements for the
public welfare, locally and nationally.

The Norwegians seem to have out.
done the world in celebrating the
birthday of Charles Darwin. The
great founder of the evolution theory
has obtained a very strong footing in
Norway, and practically all the news
papers and periodicals of the country
united In paving homage to him OF
his one-hundredth birthday. From
all the chairs of the institutions OF
learning his name was mentioned with
thanks. His name was not heard in
the churches; but On the other hand
no objection was made to the un-
stinted and universal praise CT the
great revolutionist in the scientific
world. The celebration connected
with the university was the cueerest
OF all. Prof. w. C. Brogger. president
| OF the university, introduced the pro-
sranl with few remarks about the
triumph OF the theory OF evolution in
Norway. Thirty years ago, he said
the word ''Darwinist' was employed
as an epithet Of abuse an revolution
| lst had made himself unworthy Of
general respect. What a change in
those thirty years! A man who re-
jects Darwinism is looked upon as
an lmDossibility" in our day. Prof
Schreiner next took charge OF the pro-
gram. The lights were shut OF, and
Hfe-sle picture of the great nat
urallst was thrown upon screen
| This was followed by a CHASTITY array
of prehistoric beings which are sup
posed to have led up to animal life as
we see it around us. The hall was
crowded, still there was absolute ST.
| lence as the uncOUth animals of the
| different geological periods passed
across the screen. A reporter states
that particular: impressive was the
transition from the semi-ape to ape
man." When this unique seance was
| over Prof. Schreiner rose and ex-
| planned what we have lost and what
we have gained by the development
into man."
A movement has just been started
tn organize a new political party in
Norway. About year ago twenty
four Leftist members of the storting
were shut out from the Leftist union
| because they were opposed to the rad
| ical wing of the party, which, never
theless, was strong enough to over
throw the Lovland cabinet and put
the present (knudsen) cabinet into
power. Now those tabooed Leftist
members Of the storting and their
sympathizers are trying to organize a
national party which is to follow the
golden midway" in Norwegian poll
tics. At the head Of the movement
are found the most popular men In
the country. as, for instance. EXPIRE

and host of lesser lights. In the
preliminary platform of the new 7arty.
considerable stress is laid on personal
liberty,-pclitical, religious and social.
It is also worthy of note that Low
land and Aarrestad are left out: Low
land, the leader of the language re-
formers, and Aarrestad, the leader Of
the temperance people. 1t would seem
that this may drive the latter group
into a crowd by themselves, and If
this should happen the new party will
have all the fighting that they can
wish for.

Mr.. Rhodin and Mr.. Modin, two of
the employees at Storjungfrun light
house off Soderhamn, started to walk
across the ice to Soderhamn. The
sheet of ice extended as far as they

When they had walked about one and
half (English) miles they realized
that they were in danger, and re-
turned the same way. But few Sec

onds later they both broke through
the ice. They were seen by people
at Vallvik, but it was impossible to
reach them from that quarter. The
two men fought desperately for their
lives, but the cold water soon put an
end to their efforts, and they both dis
appeared in the water. It is custom
ary to carry long stakes made for
the purpose when the ice is dangerous

the precaution to carry any such ap-
pliances.
