News Of Scandinavia
Principal Happenings Of the Week
in the Scandinavian Countries.

s g. y
The crown princess of Sweden was
80 years old Jan. Is.
As A. Gustafsson was driving q
span Of horses along the shore at
Stallarholmen, on Lake Malar, the.
horses SHE'D and ran straight into the.
sea. The distance was SO short that
the driver did not have time to jump
out Of the carriage, and both he and the
horses went to the bottom and were
drowned.
Z Gustaf Andreasson, Of Stofsjo. An
gelstad, was deaf and dumb, but he
managed his little farm SO well that
1t was looked upon as a model by the
other farmers of the sneighborhood.
Whenever he could spare the time lie
would work for his neighbors BY the
day and make an extra penny. He
was looked upon as poor man. but
he supported himself, his mother, and
a sister. besides making improvements
on the buildings and putting $3.50 in
the bank. Mr.. Andreasson died some
time before Christmas. and his reia-
tives took charge of the property. A
few days ago the hay loft was looked
over more carefully, and $500 In coins
was found tucked away in a corner.
Some Of the coins are no longer cur
rent and for that reason may be worth
more than their face value. The de-
ceased was 60 years old.
Much light is thrown on the Nor
mon propaganda in Sweden by Z re
port handed to the government BY the
stakeholder Of Stockholm. The re
port treats of five Mormon apostles
residing In Stockholm, and puts the
work and aim of the apostles in
clear light. The five Mormons In ques-
ton are connected with the Mormon
church in Stockholm, and their names
are: A. Peterson, K G. Mitchell, C.. A.
Carlquist, A. T. johnson and A. Svens-
son. BY means of detectives 1t was
demonstrated that the Mormons are
far from innocent with regard to agi-
tation in favor of emigration from
Sweden and in favor OF polyg-
amy. About 10000 Swedes have
emigrated to Utah. The Mormon
apostles have been working quietly
but theoretically in Sweden. As a
typical case is mentioned the family
of skilled workman who by years
Of faithful work had become prosper
Gus. His family received urgent at
tention on the part of the Mormons
and We're finally induced to join the
Mormon church and 60 to Utah. But
upon their arrival in the holy laity
they turned all their money over to
the apostles, and that was tho end
of the deal.

St. Paul.-Executing a search war
rant for Selling of intoxicating liquors,
alleged to be held for sale contrary to
law, imposes no liability upon city
marshal, the state supreme court held.

gle Booten, wife Of the marshal there,
and eighteen citizens who had been
sworn in as deputies to help search

Immediately came as complete sur
prise, but it. occasioned no more sur
prise than did the selection of Mr.
Mckinley to take command. ..
! A Constant White House Visitor.
It was recalled that Mr.. Mckinley
has been constant visitor at the
White House during the past few
weeks. He has conferred with the
president and Mr. Hilles almost daily.
In the last national campaign the
congressional committee, of which
Mr.. Mckinley then, as now, was
chairman, worked in complete har-
mony with the Republican national
committee in advancing Mr.. Taft's po-
litical fortunes. The work done then
by Mr.. Mckinley, it is believed, had
much to do with his selection to look
out for Mr.. Taft's fences. Postmaster
General Hitchcock, who is taking an
active part with Secretary Hilles in
the preconvention work for Mr.. Taft
will be among the first with whom
Mr.. Mckinley will consult.
House Republicans Decide on Com
-, -. ;,->.-z . mittee.
Republican members of the house
are better satisfied with the organiza-
ton of their congressional campaign
committee as perfected than they
were with the plans tentatively agreed
upon.
The selection of Representative
Burke of North Dakota as vice chair
man is a recognition of the North
west.
Representative Weeks, who was
first slated, did not care to serve,
and Representative Fairchild of New
York was chosen as treasurer rather
than vice chairman. The men who
will be in active charge of the fight to
regain the house are:
William B. Mckinley, of Illinois,
chairman; Charles H. Burke, of North
Dakota, vice chairman; J. Hampton
Moore, of Pennsylvania, secretary;
George W. Fairchild, of New York,
treasurer; w. J. Browning, of New
Jersey, auditor. The committee also
elected the following additional Off
GERS: -
Henry Casson, of Wisconsin, assist
ant secretary; John c. Eversman, of
Illinois, assistant treasurer; Francis
Curtis, of Massachusetts, 1iterary d.

Neutrality-suspicious. an error In
transcribing the votes on the poll at
the Minnesota delegation on presiden-

farmers have been in the habit OF
