Several persons have seen q strange
monster-sea serpent, whale, or what
ever it may be-in the Baggen ford,
near Stockholm. Ono man is so in.
terested in the monster that If he had

A statue of King Karl x is to be
erected in Stockholm, and it was Sc
r1ously proposed to make a copy of
the one adjoining the public market
place of Malmo. But the people of
Malmo, and southern Sweden in gen.

ness, and an original monument may
have to be invented. The people of
Malmo are even going so far as to
hold public mass meetings to protest
against the Stockholm "counterfeit"
plan.
Copenhagen, June 12.-Much excite

prisoner cut one of his chains. Ros-
berg is the man who tried to blow I'D
with dynamite the hulk Amalthea, on
which British laborers were lodged
during the dock strike at Malmo.
Rosberg's attempt to escape failed and
today the anarchist jailer is himself
in irons.

the country near the boundary line
between Chile and Argentina and GER

has been away from Sweden one and
three~fourths Of a year.

Tobacco Plants for Culture In Mime
sofa.
The Minnesota legislature appro
priated a small sum of money for
tobacco investigations. The expert
ment station at St. Anthony Park.
Mimi. has prepared itself for the &C.
casion by providing a large number
of plants for free distribution among
the farmers. Any farmer in the state
who desires to attempt the produc.
ton Of tobacco may apply to the ex-
pertinent station for plants enough
for an acre or less. Six thousand
plants are considered enough for an
acre. The station has grown these
plants in the eastern part Of Sher-
burn county, and anyone In that part
Of the state can easily call for the
plants. II the plants are to be shipped
to an address they will have to be
expressed and express charges must
be paid by the one receiving the
plants. -
The tobacco culture is in it's in.
fancy in Minnesota, but it is stated
that it has been and can be, profit
ably grown In sherburn, Stearns and
Becker counties. The farmers in this
vicinity especially are urged to un-
dertake the growing of tobacco on
small scale. Once tobacco growing
becomes understood, its production
will greatly increase, for it gives
large net returns per acre.

Estimated Expense of Changing Equip. nent Between Stamford and
 New Haven, S6,0ao,G ,G00

The cost of electrifying the New Ha- ven Road between Stamford and New Haven is estimated at S6 COG, 900. Two ysare is thought to be ample time in which to complete the work. The cost of electrifying from Stamford to New York, 21 miles, was $3, 300 900. The distance from Stamford to New Haven is 70 miles, but 1t is believed that the cost will fall short of doubling, for the reason that the engineers of the road have learned by experience how econ- on1fes may be created, without injur- ing the equipment.
 The change is expected to be a ben eft in many ways. The cost per mile of haul will be reduced. Passengers will not be annoyed by smoke and coal dust Property values in the cities along the line will increase by the abatement of the nuiSa nces occaSioned by smoke and dust. It will be pos sible to make better speed.
