Rebuked the negro.

Hall Green, negro boy on trial
at LeSueur Center for the murder
of Harry Riggs, was found not gull
ty of the crime charged after the
jury was out about two hours. AS
soon as the verdict Of the jury was

ed to shake hands and thank Judge
p. w. Morrison, but His Honor re-
fused to take the hand Of the negro,
and in the few words he uttered gave
the jury a singing rebuke for the
verdict it returned. Judge Morrison
said: "You need not thank me for
getting free Of this terrible crime !;
you may thank the jury. They may
think you innocent, but l think diff
ferently. would advise you from
now on to mend your ways" and he
turned away from the proffered hand

Corporal Jansson Of the .Upplano
died OF infantile paralysis at Upsala.
The Korsnas saw mill near Falun
was destroyed by IRE. The insurance.
on the property was $4,000.
For the first time in the history Of
modern Sweden the number Of men
called upon to take part in military
drills in the course Of a single year
exceeds $4,000.
Anders Zorn, the famous artist, was
Instructed to restore" the painting Of
King Gustaf Vasa at Upsala, and seve-
raj critics now declare that the pic

A conservative daily says with re-
gard to the. change of the cabinet:

the Lindman cabinet remained 80 firm
on the military question. It is a sign
OF the times that the government re-
tires just as the flame of war is kin
died in another part Of Europe, and it
appears in letters of fire to every one
who is not politically blind that the
nation that does not provide for its
defences is doomed to defeat and per-
dition."
London.-A Swede named Svenson
claims to have invented a new auto
matte rifle which may do away with
machine guns on the field of battle.
The new invention has not only been
applied to rifles, but to fowling pieces
and other weapons. AS regards rifles,
Mr.. Svenson has invented two kinds Of
appliances one Of which can be used
as an ordinary rife and another as
machine gun. Mr.. Svenson claims that
his weapon can. at will be made to per-
form both functions without it's weight
in any way being increased. 1t can be
loaded either at the breach or under
meath by inserting the cartridge maya
zine. A company Of infantry, equipped
with the new rifle and forming front
Of Is PAGES, can fire, it is said, 70 shots
per second, or If fitted with larger
magazine 240 to $50 shots in three sec
onds. A battery of machine guns, con-
sfstfng of four pieces served by 16
men, with their officers, would occupy
a front of Is PAGES and fire under the
same conditions only 80 to IS shots, re-
spectively, in the same space of time.
In addition to this, machine guns are
difficult to transport, or to place in
position, or to hide from the enemy,
which is not the case with the rifle of
the Svenson type. The new weapon
is, about the same weight AZ the Man.
ser rifle, and has the same kind Of
barrel, but it's entire length is five
centimeters shorter. Another advan-
tage Is it's simplicity of construction,
possessing, as it does, only II NOV
able parts, including the spiral springs.

! Professor Karl Larsen, Of Copen-
hagen, is on his way to America to
study conditions surrounding the life
Of Danish immigrants in this country.
He will visit as many Danish settle
ments as possible and gain his knowl-
edge Of the life Of Danish settlers In
America from first hand. Professor
Larsen has written a preliminary
wor.. Danish Colonists," based on
material furnished by a number Of let
ters from Danes to their old homes,
also by S:aries secured as the result Of
an appeal published last year in Den
mark and I'm the Danish press in this
country. He will come to America
under the auspices of the Danish
American Association. Professor Lar
sen, who is both author and poet, on
his visit will study several individual
cases, ranging from success to failure,
among Danish immigrants. He ex-
poets to take up study Of the labor
situation IN cities and the life Of immi-
grants on. the farm. In his study Of
letters and diaries he found that some
Of the immigrants cling longer than
others to the language. habits, church
and social afflliation, and Professor
Larsen will study the reasons underly-
ing this fact. Some classification Of
the length of time taken by American
civilization to absorb" the foreign ele-
ment will be attempted. Danish news
papers regard Professor Larsen az
probably the best fitted man in Den
mark for the work. He is an author
Of wide European fame and one of the
foremost forces in the literary life of
Denmark. AS result of his visit re.
suits are expected in the way of pre-
sentingS data which will be help to
his countrymen and in broadening the
grasp of his poetic work. He proba.

where Danes have settled in any num-

The road between Jamtland. swe-
len, and Levanger, Norway, runs
through q narrow mountain pass near
The boundary line. On the Norwegian
side three tunnels are said to have
been mined into the solid rock close
to the road. A Swedish paper asks
what sort Of q mysterious contrivance
this is. This ticklish question was oc.
casioned by the fact that certain
forces are at work to pave the way for
q better feeling between the two coun.
tries, or even for some sort OF an

A Brief Resume of the Most I'm.
portant Happenings In the
German Empire.

The Kolnische Zeitung says, in a
semi-of1icial capacity, that If the men,
bers Of the French chamber see flt to
make an earnest opposition to the
compensation in Congo offered by the
French cabinet, the chances for an
agreement may be spoiled. Morocco
is pretty fat morsel, and France is
not going to gobble it without the
permission of Germany. A few Ger
man papers look upon this matter as
serious, but most of them keep silent.
The marriage of Princess Victoria
with a future grand duke of Mecklen-
burg-Strelitz will bring about peace
between the ruling families of Prussia
and Meckienburg, for the two houses
have not always been on friendly
terms. The match, not only for poll.
tical, but also for financial reasons, is
considered important. The kaiser is
not rich man and has large family,
with numerous grandchildren, while
tho house of Mecklenburg-Strelitz is
said to be the richest in Germany.
The engagement of Princess Victor
Ia Louise, the only daughter of Kaiser
Wilhelm, has been officially an
nounced. She celebrated her nine
teenth birthday Sept. 13. Her future
husband Grand Duke Friedrich Of
Mecklenburg, is 20 years old. Until
1910 he was lieutenant in the First
Guards regiment at Potsdam and was
considered very lively young officer.
Only recently his father commanded
him to return to New Strelitz, where
the young grand duke has since led a

all that the French government never
called parliament together. Deputies
were kept as much in the dark as to
what was going on as ordinary NOR
tails. But in two weeks time they will
make their voices heard. The pro-
posed cession of the mid Congo has
particularly reused hostilities. The
constituencies object to the transac.

report that the chambers would refuse
to ratify the accord If it included the
alienation of the mid Congo.

SWEDEN.

Karl Staaff, the new premier, offered
the Social Democrats place in the
new cabinet, but they declined the
offer, explaining that they expect to
accomplish something thru their
strength in the riksdag, and that they
will watch the cabinet pretty closely.
The following story shows what a
person living far away among the
mountains Of Sweden may have to SUI
fer in case of q sudden attack of sick
ness. A widow named Emma Jonsson,
of Loftalen, Oviken, Jamtland, took
sick with appendicitis. Her abdomen
soon began to swell up, and her life
was evidently at stake. She had to
be taken to the hospital at Ostersund.
The only conveyance was the horse
back, and she was so low that she
was on the point Of fainting when
lifted upon the horse. She rode to
Flasjo, across bogs and hills. a dis
lance Of almost seven (English) miles.
Then she was put in q row boat and
rowed over twenty miles, to Fotingsjo,
where the only accommodation was
an old raftmen's cabin. The matches
carried by the company had been
soaked by the rain, so they could not
build fire. Her brother, who had &C.
companied her all the time, now had
to walk three miles around Fotingsjo
(ake) to settlement, from which an
extra messenger was sent to Asarna.
From this place a telephone message
was sent to H. Eklund, q merchant at
Klofsjo. He took his motor boat and
went to the place where the woman had
been left, distance of seventeen
miles. Mr.. Eklund made bed for her
In the boat and returned with her to
Klofsjo, from which place he carried
her in his automobile to the hospital
ct Ostersund. BY this time the poor
woman had been on her way one night
and almost two days.
It is persistent1y declared in the
press that the new cabinet has secured
the consent Of the king to dissolve the
first chamber Of the riksdag. The
present chamber is conservative, and
it is estimated that new elections
would add about 80 members to the
Liberal party, making it so much cas-
Ter for the new cabinet and the second
chamber to accomplish what their
platform calls for.
