A large excursion of Bergen people
visited Christiania a few days ago.
About 800 persons participated in the
excursion. When arriving at the cap.
ital city they were royalty entertained
and the entire party took dinner at
the famous Holmenkollen. Nerve
gians are beginning to initiate the
tourists of foreign lands and have
made up their minds that it is about
time to make these trips little
Oftener and see some of their own
country before going to other coun-
tries.
Halfvdan Koht has been appointed
to the chair of history in the Uni
yersity of Christiania and Stem Konow
has been selected for the chair of In
dian philology at the same institu-
ton. This will greatly strengthen the
faculty at Christiania University.
Both men are we'll known educators
and their selection has occasioned
much favorable comment from the
press.

shipped to foreign points from Opdal,

Norway and thousands of them are
shipped to America and England ev-

Last year 1857 persons emigrated
from Norway to foreign ports. The
indications are that there will be a
still greater number who will emigrate
this year. The people who emigrated
are chiefly young men and women
and it stands to reason that the coun-
try feels this drain all the more.
A rumor states that Bjornsons fam

they will request that the govern

the beloved author. -...-
About 10000 men were engaged in
cod fishing along the coast of Fin
marken during the months of May and
June. There seemed to be plenty of
fish for all of them. No less than
500 different fish concerns were on
the ground, ready to buy the fish as
soon as caught.
From all parts of the country come
complaints to the effect that there is
scarcity of hay for the cattle and
the pastures have not been in very
good shape. In many sections of the
country rain is badly needed, else
there will be total failure of the hay
crop. ~'.'.=s.''
Ibsen's "Rosmersholm" has been
very popular in Germany during the
past year. 1t was rendered in Berlin
not less than 100 times at the Leasing
theater and there was a crowded
house at each performance.
There has been collected for the
kings villa the sum of 226,000 crowns.
Of this amount $4,000 crowns were
collected from foreign lands.

TWO HUNDRED PEOPLE PERISH

Spokane, Wash. Aug. %. A
special from Wallace says that
Forest Supervisor Weigle has re-
ceived word that crowd of 200
men, under Chief Ronger Koot-
key, have perished in camp near
Falcon at the headwaters Of the
st. Joe river.
Light rain began to fall this
afternoon in Wallace and other
Couer d'Alene mining towns that
have been scorched or threaten
ed by the forest fires and the
weary fire fighters took new
hope. Nothing, however, but
long and heavy downpour will
quench the flames that are eat

Idaho, northwestern Montana

The Idaho militia and the
United States troops are on the
way to battle with the flames,

little more than to protect the
threatened town. The forest

Claims Antidote for weeviI.

Clinton, Miss, Aug. 21.-Sam
Ford, negro farmer, declares
that he has discovered an anti
dote for the boil weevil. He
says that his remedy consists of
poison which he uses on the seed
before planting. His theory is
that the poison is assimilated in
the stalk of cotton, and is of suf-
ficient strength to put the little
pest out of commission when he
punctures the boil. He substan-
tiates his statement by the fact
that while the crops of all his
neighbors are thoroughly infest-
ed, his crop has none and is very

Mr.. j. FL. Afford of Fayette,
made one of the best talks
of the day. He took for his sub
ject stock raising and general
topics pertaining to the farm.
Mr.. Afford believes that if the
boil weevil had not appeared the
farmers would have gone on
from year to year planting cot
ton until their lands would have
been impoverished. He differed
from most people in arguing that

Monday was largely attended and
the day was one of enjoyment as
well as being profitable to the
planters who were present.
The speakers Of the day were
men we'll versed in the art and
science of farming and the spe-
cial points that they stressed on
this occasion cannot fail to bring
forth great results. Mr.. r. S.
Wilson Of this city who is in
charge of the demonstration work
for the u. S. Department of Ag-
riculture in Mississippi and Ala
bama presided at the meeting
and introduced the speakers.
Mr.. Thomas z Atkinson,
president of the Improvement
Club of Alabama, who resides at
Columbia in that state spoke
first his subject being Soil
Building and Commercial Fertil-
izers. He advised the farmers
to have a test patch each year,
and in this way they can best
get the experience and adoption
Of their soil. He stressed the
importance of using the proper
fertilizer when necessary. Mr..
Atkinson discussed the compo-
nent elements of the complete
fertilizers ordinarily sold on the
market and gave a practical dis
eussion of the substance from
which these chemicals are de-
rived.
Mr.. John d. StanselI of Blue
Mountain, who has charge of
demonstration work in this st te
under Mr.. Wilson, was intro
duced and spoke on Soil Prepa-
ration and Crop Cultivation. He
dwelt at length on the impor-
tance of preparing deep and thor
augh seed beds in the fall of the |
year. His idea is to turn under
the vegetation which helps fer
tilize and holds the moisture |
which serves we'll in case of a |
drouth. He suggested the tre-
mendous Importance of planting
rye between the cotton rows in |
arder to keep the soil from wash
ing during the winter months |
and to add vegetable matter to
