No German Society Leaders.


AS the Germans are not yet political
animals, so their newspapers reflect an
artificial political enthusiasm. Society,
too, is as little organized as politics;
There are no great figures in their social
world A Beau Brummel, d'Orsay, a
Lady Palmerston, Duke of Devonshlre,
a Gladstone "a Dsraeli. Rosebery,
would be impossible in Germany. especi-
ally if they were in opposition TO the
party in power Even the leading poilti-
cal figures are after all merely shadowy
servants of the emperor. They represent
neither themselves nor the people, and
such subserviency kills independence and
leaves us with mediocrities gesticulating
in the dark and making phrases in a
vacuum.
There are. it is true. charming hostesses
in Berlin, and ladies who gather in their
drawing rooms all that is most interest
ing in the intellectual and political life
of the day; but they are almost without
execution obedient to the traditic~ai Of
ficialdom, leaning upon a favor mat Is
at times erratic, and without the daring
of Independence which is the salt OF all
real personality.
There are too country houses. One
castle in Bavaria. how well remember
It. and the accomplished charm of its
owner who had made its grandeur coy
"a feat, indeed. But all this is detached
from the real life Of the nation. which Is
forever taking its cue from the court
leaving any independent or Imposing
social and political life benumbed and
without vitality. There is no free and
stalwart opposition; no centers of power
and much as one tires of the inceSsant
and feverish strife political and social at
home. one returns to it taking long
breath of the free air after this hot
house atmosphere where the thermom-
eter is regulated by the wishes of an
autocrat.

The Art of Scandinavia.

From Scribner's.
1t is perhaps more true Of Scandinavia
than of any other country that It's art
must be studied i'm terms of the land ana
it's people While the production OF the
leading painters has at certain periods
displayed manifest traces of foreign IN
fuence it is seen at its best in the de-
Ineation of native type and scene, anu
in the graphic or plastic rendering Oh
those states of consciousness whlch we
at once recognize as peculiarly northern
unrest There is beyond question "a
marked affinity both ethnic and esthetlc
between the three nations. yet the art OF
Sweden, Denmark and Norway is none
the less in each case distlnctlVe, as hiuen
so as the language or physical character
tstics of the countries themselves. La
belle ecole blonde, as the apt and respon-
siye Frenchmen are in the hapit OF can
ing the modern Scandinavian scnool. ~
i'm reality three separate schools OF pant
ing which developed at different inter-
walls. and the general features of which
are frankly at variance. 1T is not SUM-
cient to discuss this art at the EXPOSE
ton Cniverselle or the Georges Petlt or
galleries One must at least
90 to Stockholm. Copenhagen and Chris
tiania. and it is even better to journey
northward into Dalecarlia. to wander
leisurely across the lush. wide-horizoned
plains of Juland or watch the simmer
ing face of Morse ford from some high
perched artist home.
A certain outward prestige and distinc-
ton, the prestige of priority and dis
tinction deriving from long-standinS ac-
ouaintance with the court and customs of
France have always marked the progress
of Swedish artistic development. The
Swede is endowed with "A more flexible
than his neighbors. and
Swedish painting reveals at all points
spirited eclecticism that is in strong con-
trast with the quiet intma v of the Danes
and the rugged and not infrequently bois-
ferrous individualsm of the NorWeSians.

Old Declaration of War.
From the London Chronicle.

The Corriere della Sera reproduces
the text of a document preserved i'm the
state archives at Vienna. which reads
strangely now-the declaration of war
sent by Sultan Mehemet ~ to the En-
peror Leopold i'm 16S2. BE il known to
you, the successor of the Caesars TO the
King of Poland and to your allies that
Mehemet the glorious and omnipotent
emperor of the east and west is
about to invade your paltry territories.
We shall bring 100000 soldiers. on horse
and foot, to crush YOU utterly, and lay
waste all your domains We command
YOU to await our coming in your resi-
dence in Vienna, where ii is our Intention
to have You beheaded. The rest or
the missive is devoted to a TRADE against
John Sobieski, who is promised n linger-
ing death, preceded by elaborate and hor-
rible tortures.

Jumping a Thousand Hurdles.

From the Strand Magazine.
The craze for strange records began
a great many years ago. There was an
elderly London omnibus driver named
Priestly. who at Hull, i'm 1863. jumped "A
thousand hurdles. each three feet six inches
high. in siXty-one and half minutes.
1t is said that this record has never
since been equaled. Priestly began omni-
bus driving in the same year. 1863, and
during his forty-six years in the service
of the London General Omnibus Company
he drove buses q distance of about
$50 600 miles.

WIND AND RAIN STORM
WIND BLOWS DOWN TREES AND
sCATTERS LOOSE THINGS IN
LIVELY FASHION

The wind and rain storm, which
ragged in this vicinity Wednesday night
caused considerable damage to trees,
fences and other property.
A large box elder which was at
least q foot in diameter and growing
in front Of the Harting store on Sec.
ond street southeast was split in two
by the wind. Another large tree on the
VIM. Bastien property in the north.
eastern part Of this city, was torn up
The entire railing which runs to the
Broadway bridge from the West side
on the south side of the street was
torn loose and thrown to the foot of
the riverbank. The plank fence which
was put in to protect pedestrians from
the washout which was caused some
time ago by heavy rain was also
blown down. Some of. the lumber OF
the Pine Tree Manufacturing company
was also blown. about but no serious
damages resulted. Garbage cans and
covers were rolling in every direction.
In the country the standing oats
were badly damaged, some Of the fields
being practically threshed out.
The storm, which covered practically
the whole state Of Minnesota, was
least noticed in this vicinity. At Min
neapolis number Of accidents occurred
as we'll as in numerous other places. No
damages have been reported by light
ming.

MARRIAGE CERTIFICATES
SHOULD BE RETURNED 70 CLERK
OF COURT, ACCORDING TO
STATE LAW

Clerk Of Court E. A. King states
that in conformity with the state law
relating to marriage certificates it is
required that the certificates, with the
acknowledged solemnization Of mar
riage, be returned to the clerk of court
where it was obtained, within thirty
days after the performance Of the mar
riage ceremony by the one performing
it.
The returning Of these certificates
has been greatly neglected, according
to the clerk Of court, and may involve
trouble with the state commission
Some Of the certificates which still re-
main outstanding, it is claimed, are
over a year old. This also makes ad
ditional work for the clerk, as when
the certificate is not returned he must
make out a complete copy Of it, when
asked for it by the inspectors.

the MEXICAN SITUATION
1IND's PROPOSALS REJECTED-
FURTHER NEGOTIATIONS DE
PEND ON UNITED STATES

Washington, Aug. 2O.-While the
United States government will await
John Lind g report Of his supplement
tary negotiations with Huerta officials
now going on, there were evidences of
what course would be pursued by
Washington in event Of absolute re-
lection by the Mexican government Of
the American proposals. -.
That the United States will not re-
cede from its original proposal that 1t
cannot recognize any regime unless q
constitutional election is held, was re-
iterated by government officials, who
discussed the situation with President
Wilson. A policy Of noninterference in
Mexico by continuing to deny arms to
both sides and a withdrawal Of Ameri-
cans from the troubled zone is very
likely to be put into effect, although
in some administration quarters there
was noticeable talk Of drastic measur-
es.
1t is the opinion of some officials
that the United States should prepare
itself for emergencies. President Will
son has been opposed 70 any big troop
movement lest the intention Of the
United States be misinterpreted. 9th
er officials take the view, however,
that precautionary measures are nec-
essary.

MORE ANTIQUE FuRN1TuRE


A. Simonet has added another piece
Of furniture to his collection Of old
time household articles in bed
which he claims is at least 100 years
old.
The bed is: of very unique con-
struction, being made Of solid wood.
All Of the larger joints are made by
means of wooden threads. The head
and foot boards are the same heighth.
The bed, when set up, has wooden bars,
on which are small pegs, about six or
eight inches apart. On these pegs ropes
are fastened and stretches across in the
form Of a netting, which serves as a
mattress.
MI. Simonet secured the bed from his
farm in Clough town, when going
through the. old buildings.

AT THE PINE GROVE PARK

AT TIE PINE GROVE PARK
Work has been completed on the set
ting of the fence posts for the fence
which sais-to- ene1o ttlhes deer at the
park. The work has been done volun-
tarily.
As a very heavy wire netting is re-
quired it has been necessary to order
the same direct from the. factory. This
may cause considerable delay as the
fence may have to be made.
There are but two owls left at tho
park, one Of the last pair having escap-
ed and the second having passed out
of existence.
There has been considerable question
as to the advisability of removing the
underbrush of the park, some holGing
that by SO doing the thrift of the large
trees would be impaired. An adequate
space will, however, be put in shape
for picnic grounds.

LOCAL MAN INvENTS KRAUT
CUTTER

Geo. Gerritz, ST., Of this city has in
vented an apparatus for cutting cab
bage for sauer kraut, which has the
old cutter outclassed in every respect.
With the old form Of cutter the leaves
Of cabbage would be torn loose and
the process Of cutting was slow but
with the new machine the cabbage is
held compact and can be cut as fast
as the machine can be run. Mr.. Ger
ritz has applied for patent on the
machine and will manufacture the same
here. He also has patent Of merit on
a lawn cutter. He expects to sell this
patent, however. -
