} ARE GOOD Cr Icelanders Are Intelligent, Thrifty, Sturdy and Temperate. Icelanders are not very numerous here, but the United States would be glad to have more, for they are highly intelligent and sturdy workers, thrifty, and, above all, are temperate and pos- sessed of high morality. The earliest Scandinavian colonies in America were at Washington island, Lake Michigan, Muskoka, on Georgian Bay, Kin- mount, sixty miles north of Toronto, and Lockeport, in Nova Scotia, An ef- fort was made to plent colonies in Al- aska, but the cheerful pamphlets sent out by the United States did not bring a single immigrant. The first colony of Icelanders was started on Washington Island, in the northwest part of Lake Michigan, north of Door county, Wisconsin, and the story of this Icelandic colony is the ma- jor part of the history of this island. Only about half 2 dozen white men had settled there in log shanties before the arrival of the Icelanders. Ii is true that fishermen had visited the shores of the island for years, but they had made no improvements; they hed sim- ply cut down trees for fuel around their sharties and made use of some of the pine trees for barrel staves, Jon Gislason, Gumundun Gumundunsson and Arni Gumundun:son settled there in 1870. In 1871 they were joined by Arni Bjarnson, a merchant from Reyk javik, with his eldest son and eldes daughter, his wife and remaining chil- dren ccmirg two years later. Johan- nes Magnusson and his wife also ar- riv the same y In 1872 the colony received an addition of immigrants from Iceland of fourteen men and sev- eral women and children. There were fresh arrivals from Iceland in 1873, 1874, 1881, 1884, 1885, 1886, 1887, 1888 and 1895. Many of the settlers still remain on Washington island ,but some have gone to Minnesota and Manitoba. In 1875 a large number of the Iceland- ers of Washington island ard of thos? who had settled Muskoka, in Kin- mount and Lockeport, Nova Scotia, to- gether with fresh arrivals from Ic2- land, settled in Manitoba, where a strip of land near Lake Winnipeg was set aside for them and where the coun- try received the name, New Iceland. At about the same time a considerable number settled in Nerthern Minnesota, particularly in Lyon county, and also in North Dakota. Thousands of Ice- landers have settled in Manitoba and Northern Minnesota. They have there a number of flourishing colonies. ZENS, oF SERIE CONCERTS To Raise Funds for Gunnar Wenner- berg Memorial. In memory of the beloved Swedish composer, Gunnar Wennerberg, a series of cercerts will be Feld in many sec- tio of the United States this fall. The initistive is to be taken by the American union of Swedish singers. The proceeds will form the nucleus of an American fund fer a statue or other memorial in honor of .the poet, skald d compcser. In Chicago, Boston and Worcester, Mass., the concerts will be held on Oct. 2, the anniversary of his birth. In Min. neapolis, New York, Philadelphia, San Francisco, Omaha, Denver, Jamestown, N. Y., Rockford and other places wher> the A. U. S. S. has members, the con- certs will be held later in the fall, Itts the idea that the male choruses of the union shall co-operate with the Swed- ish church choirs to arrange concerts which shall be worthy of Wennerberg He sang and composed for all classes, and was equally successful whether setting the Psalms of David to music end composing oratorios or writing stu. dent songs and patriotic hymns. Th-re ts probably not a Swedish church in the United States which does not con- stantly use some of Wennerberg’s sa- cred mus Chicago’s memorial concert will be held at the Auditorium, and is expected co eclipse anything that the ente.’pris- ing Swedes of that city have under- taken. A grand chorus of 600 mixea voices has been organized for the oc casion, and the male chorus will num- ber 250 voices. Prominent soloists have been engaged. Dr. Gustave Andreen, the new president of Augustana col- dress. Orpheus Singing society, the local lege, will deliver tke memorial ad- member of the American Union ot Swedish Singing societies, has issued an invitation to all the Swedish church choirs of Minneapolis to assist in the organization of a chorus for a concert to be held in that city. A meeting of delegates frcm the various organiz2- tions will be held at the Cable Piano company’s headquarters next Tuesday evening. There is every reason to believe that the movement which has been started will be crowned with success. TOO SOON TO WORRY. Norwegians Believe the Fram Expe- dition Is 0. K. How the reports that there is great anxiety in Norway regarding the fate of Capt. Otto Sverdrup and the Fram expecition ever got started is not known. On the contrary, no one in Norway is worrying. When Capt. Sver- drup left, three years ago, to explore the northeast coast of Greenland, he stated that he shoulé not return before late in the fall of 1901, but more likely not before 1902. He was provided for a five-years’ absence. The Fram is one of the stanchest vessels in the world, d Capt. Sverdrup is one of the most skillful navigators, as Was plainly shown in the Nansea expedition to the north pole. In Consul Ravn’s District. In the annua! report of Consul Gen- eral Ravn of New York, whose juris- diction includes the Atlantic seaboard and the Gulf of Mexico, 1,378 vessels sailing under the Norwegian flag ar- rived in this country in 1900, with car- goes, and 647 in ballast. In the same period 1.378 Norwegian vessels cleared for the United States with cargoes ana 555 in ballast. The value of the imports was 729,702 kroner and the exports, 11,- 793,474 kroner. The consular fees for the district agsres' ated 50,402.41 kroner. | ment may be postponed for a time. Ps, In Far Northland. HE DOESN’T SUBSIDE, Gustaf Flod Is After Bishop Rohde in Earnest. . It was gererally surrosed in Sweden and emong the Swedes in America that the Rev. Gustaf Floden would subside after his superior, Bishop Rohde, of the Gothenborg dioces>, had repudiate him and officiaily confirmed previous statements that Mr. Floden did not vis- it America as a representative of the state church of Sweden. Mr. Floden is not a man to be calmly repudiated, ap- parently, for he is out with a statement in the Gothenborg paper denying al- most everything said by his bishop. The letter has caused some stir in Sweden, it abuses Bishop Rohde without stint. Mr. Floden has had an audience with King Oscar, doubtless in relation to Bishcp von Scheele’s coming tour in the United States. Rev. Another Ericsson Statue. Dispatches the unveiling of the John Ericsson stat- ue in that city last Saturday, Sept, 14. As the flag fell, the original Swedish monitor, the John Ericsson, fired a sa- lute. The principal address was mad> by W. W. Thomas, United States min- ister to Sweden and Norway. He spoke enthusiastically of the valuable service rendered by Capt. Ericsson for his adopted country. His name was insep- erably linked with the history of the United States. In his address, Minis- ter Thomas referred in touching words to the assassination of President Mc- Kinley and his country’s sorrow. The public and the artists agree that the Ericsson statue is the handsomest in all Stockholm, and has a splendid position. Iceland Demands a Minister. Iceland wants its own minister in the Danish cabinet. After an agitation ex- tending ever a period of many years, the alting, or legislative assembiy of the island, has adopted a resolution re- garding the appointment of such a minister, who shall attend the sessions of the alting and be responsible to it, as well as being a part of the Danish government. It is expressly desired that he be familiar with the language of the island. It is hoped that the new Danish ministry will approve of the ap- pointment and recommend to the king that it be sanctioned. The upper house of the alting has forwarded an address to the king that a separate Icelandic portfolio be created immediately. Sven, Nora and Dania. Bishop Lars S. Anderson, of the Mor- mon church, died at Ephraim, Utah, Sept. 7, after a long illness. Maj. Gen. O. M. Bjornstjerna will withdraw from active politics on ac- count of his aévanced age. He has at- tended thirty-seven riksdags. Niels Grou, a Danish-American jour- nalist, who has had some connection with the movement fer the traasfer of the Danish West Indies to the Unitea States, is seriously ill in London. Numerous reforms are promised by the new Danish misistrv—reforms in the tax laws, reforms in legal proceed- ings, a reorganization of the country’s defenses and other minor changes. The alumni association of Luther college, Decorah, Iowa, has provided its alma mater with an electric lighting plant. It is already in operation and all the rooms are brilliantly lighted. The Prussian authorities ordered Pe- ter Lautrup, a farmer at Vellerup, to repaint his buildings, which were white and red, the Danish colors, but he ap- pealed to the courts, and the order was withdrawn. Denmark captured the lion’s share of the awards at the international agri- cultural exposition in Holland. The president, in his address, dcclared that Denmark was the most advanced of ali European countries in agriculture. The telephone is cheap in Norway. In the country a "phone costs but 30 kroner, about rer year, and in Christiania the highest rate is 80 kro- ner, or abcut $21. The service is much better than in America, say tourists. Ooperhugen § wa great many per- sons of royal blool during the first week in September. One day the king received several deputations from out- side towns, and with him were the czarina of Russia, the queen of Eng- land and members of his family. ‘The oldest clergymen in the Aigust- ana Swedis& Uutheran synod are Rev.

Bauendahi will try to reach the pole in a twenty-four-foot boat. The vessel will be taken as far north as possible ana then Capt. Bauendahl, with one companion, will start for the north pote. Their little boat will be provisioned for two years. Militery authorities are much put out because so Many young men emigrate from Norway, and want the govern- ment to pass laws which will prohibit young men between the ages of sixteen and thirty-five years from leaving the country. It is not believed that any feasible plan can be acepted. Five deserters fron: the Dutch war- ship Utrecht made things interesting for six police officers in Christiania one night recently. The police had orders to arrest the deserters, but when they started to corrall the five Dutchmen they had trouble. The men were reck- lessly drunk and were armed with knives. The big erowds which assem- pled cheered the sailors, but they were finally overcome.

The water in Lake St. Croix is rising asa result cf last week’s rains, and loggers are, of the opinion that the boom can be run from now on. Mrs. Charlotte Chittenden Buffum is dead at Winona from congestion of the lungs, with heart failure. She was born in Janesville and educated at Ripon college. The suit of McCarthy Bros. & Co. against the Weare Commission compa- ny of Chicago, resulted in a verdict at Duluth for the full amount claimed, $5,7 Andrew Mandulla, while intoxicated, undressed and laid down upon the track at McKinley, and was killed by being run over by a train. He was buried by the county. The largest and richest body of high- grade ore ever unearthed at Virginia, was found there last week in the Lin- coin mine, abandoned some years ago as valueless. Nathaniel Osborne, sixty-five years old, an old resident of St. Charles, Wi- nona county, dropped dead near the postoffice in that place recently. Heart failure was the cause.

The heirs are endeavoring to have the will thrown out and the property divided between them. Indians to the number of 200 tre en- joying a dance at Bena, ten miles east of Cess Lake. Amcng th2m is “Old Bug,” whe came from: his home on Bear island. The Indians have ap- pointed a force of police, and so far no liquor kas been found in the crowd. They are very peaceable, and have as- sembled for the purpose of having a good time. . This is the first time that “Old Bug” has appeared at any of the dances hereabouts. He has formed a great attachment for Capt. Beaulieu, and seyg his people «re more friendly than ever before. “Old Bug’? goes on record as favoring the ‘solutions re- cently adopted by the Cass Lake Com- mercial club relating to the opening of the reservation. It is said that Henry W. Oliver has offered to settle the controversy over the Ely Lake lands, which hes been in the courts at Dwuth for some time, and which has some time yet to run if it is carried up. When the lake was sur- veyed by the government it was shown much larger than it really is, and it covered a large emount ef valuable timber, iron and farm lands. The Oli- ver interests come from those who set- tled on the lands as surveyed, and they claimed all the lands from the snore line, as shown on the map and the shore line as it actually stood. The de- fendants claim that the disputed area. was unsurveyed land, and they settled upon it accordingly. Blood has been shed over the fight, dams have been blown up several times, 2nd one man is now under conviction of assault for participation in one of the fights.

If there is any truth in the saying that happiness is the absence of all pain, mental and physical, the enjoy- ment of it can only be found in heaven, But so far as the physical is concerned, it is within easy reach; at least, meas- urably so, as far as cure will go. The sum of human misery in this line is made up of greater or less degrees of physical suffering. The minor aches and pains which afflict mankind are easy to reach and as easily cured. There are none in the whole category, which, if taken in time, cannot be cured. They must in some form afflict the nerves, the bones, the muscles and joints of the human body. They are all more or less hurtful and wasteful to the system. St. Jacob’s Oil is made to cure them, to search out the hidden pain spots, and to cure promptly in a true remedial and lasting way. Very, very many have not known happiness for years until they used it, and very many are putting off cure and happiness be- cause they don’t use it. How the King’s Taxes Are Paid. It is not generally known that the king pays taxes under protest—that is to say, his majesty, like Queen Victo- ria, claims to be exempt from impost, and yet is willing to ccntribute without rrejudice to the rates For instance, part of the Windsor farm land lies with- in the radius of the bcrovgh. The mu- nicipal authority issues demand notes for the rates. Th2 royal officials re- spond by paying a sum just under the amount requested, aad the collector is satisfied. There is no question of going to law, for how can tue king be sum- moned to his own courts?—F'ree Lancze. The Age to Marry. Oliver Wendell Holmes, in the course of a letter to a young friend who had married, wrote : “I do, indeed, congratulate you on changing your isolated condition into the beatific state of duality. The very moment one feels that he is falling into the old age of youth—which I take to be from twenty-five to thirty, in most cases—he must not dally any longer; the first era in his life is fairly closed, and he may live half his bright days over again if ‘woman's pure kiss, sweet and long,’ comes only to his lips before it is too late. If he waits until the next epoch of life begins, there is gieat dan- ger that he marry his wife as a jockey buys a horse—sensibly, shrewdly and merely as a convenience in his domes- tic operations. A Distinguished Missionary. ‘Washington, Ind., Sept. 23d.—There is at present, living at 106 East 15th street in this city, a most remarkable man. He is Rev. C. H. Thompson, and he came to Washington from Little York, Ind., a short time ago. Rev. Mr. Thompson spent many years of his long and useful life as a mission- ary among the Indians of the West. The great exposure and the drinking of so much bad water brought on Diabe- tes, and at Wagoner, Indian Territory, he was struck down while preaching. Physicians, one of them a Chicago specialist, pronounced his case hopz2less. Dodd’s Kidney Pills were recommend- ed, and as a last resort he tried them. He was completely cured and- restored to good health, and his case and its cure has caused a sensation among the physicians. Harder. , ‘Author—There!

The idea is novel to East Siders. Cigarettes are cheap. There- fore, the dealer has all the orders he can fill. The charge for these cigarettes, of Turkish tobacco, is but $1 per 100. The dealer said he was prompted to do this work by a man who ordered 300 cigar- ettes with his name and address printed on the wrappers. y “I took the order,” said the dealer, “but did not believe the man would be satisfied with the work. I thought the cigarette paper would be too thin to feed into a printing press.
