I arrived here Tuesday afternoon,
May Ifa. but before writing anything
about*ihis place and its surroundings,
a short account of our journey would
probably be in order.
On April 24, Mr. E. Hjertos and
myself boarded the train at Warren
for a^trip across the Atlantic. Next
morning we arrived at Minneapolis,
wheflgi we remained a couple days.
Heref we were joined by a friend of
the writer. April 27 we proceeded to
Chic&go over the Wisconsin Central
R. Rj| After a short stop at Chicago
we proceeded to New York over the
Wabash R. A short ride along
Lake Michigan brought us to Indiana,
crossing the entire northern part of
that state, thence over the northwest
corner of Ohio into Michigan. In Illi
nois and Indiana the principal occu
pation of the inhabitants seemed to
be farming,.though not exactly of the
same nature as in the Red River Val
ley. Corn seemed to be the leading
produet, though of course the hasty
observation allowed from the car win
dow is not sufficient to give a fair ac
count Arriving in Michigan it had
already turned dark, so we saw noth

was taken across the river connecting
Lake Huron and Lake Erie on a ferry
boat, landing at Windsor, on the Can
ada side. We now retired for the
night, not waking up until the sun
was shining brightly the next morn
ing. We soon arrived at Niagara
Falls, Ont., the last station in Can
ada, thence by the way of Suspension
Bridge to Niagara Falls, N. Y. Un
fortunately we did not get a view of
the great Niagara Falls, as the rail
road did not traverse near enough to
see it, Hope our luck will be better
next time. Another few minutes' ride
and we arrived at Buffalo, with a pass
ing view of the Pan-American Expo
sition buildings and grounds, amply
assuring us that any visitor to this ex
position will feel well repaid for the
time and money spent. From Buffalo
we traveled to New York City via the
West Shore R. R. The country
along this line was somewhat hilly,
but very thickly populated, a fact
easily accounted for when we consider
the long time since New York was
first settled. Villages and cities were
numerous, and factories of all kinds
were seen as we traveled along. The
latter part of the trip was made along
the bank of the Hudson river, with its
very picturesque scenery. At 9:00
p. m. we arrived in the great city
of New York, the metropolis of the
New World.
After spending one day in this city
we boarded the White tar Line
steamship, "Teutonic," May 1.
Promptly at 12 o'clock we steamed
out of the harbor, passed the world
famed Statue of Liberty, out upon

coast of Ireland, and simultaneously
part of the British Channel fleet,
which was out maneuvering. We
passed very near, so we had a very
good view of the ships, fifteen in
number, and yet this was only part
of one of King Edward's numerous
fleets. At 4 p. m. we stopped at
Queenstown, leaving about one-third
ot the passengers there. Another
night at sea and we landed at Liver
pool, Eng., 8 a. m., May 9. From
here we proceeded to Hull by railway
but what a contrast between the
modern American passenger train
and those we saw here, another evi
dence of American "push".
The ride across England was very
interesting. The country is very
thickly populated, in fact, it was al
most a continuous array of villages
and factories. The tilling of-the soil
seemed to be on a very small scale.
All buildings were built of either
stone or brick, owing to the scarcity
of timber in England. At 4 p. m.
we arrived at Hull, where we boarded
the North Sea steamship, "Salmo,"
forThrondhjem. The weather on the
th Sea was, very fine, which we
mare, -as this is
generally the roughest part of the
voyage. The accommodations, how
ever, were not as good as on the At
lantic, especially as to the board
furnished.
Saturday morning we landed at
Stavanger. From here we proceeded
northeastward along the coast of
Norway, winding our way between
its wonderful fjords. The voyage
would have been extremely danger
ous but for the experienced pilot,
that the steamers must have along
when sailing here, otherwise they
would run the risk of striking some
rock, almost at any moment.
At 10 p. we reached Bergen, the
home of Mr. Hjertos. After leaving
our friend here, we proceeded on our
journey, by the way of Aalesund and
Christiansund to Throndhjem, at
which place we arrived Monday af
ternoon, May 13, glad that the
monotonous sea voyage was over.
H^rewehad to wait for our train un
til next morning, so had an oppor
tunity to see some of the sights ol
the city, and, of course, we did not
miss the ancient cathedral of Thrond
hjem, now in course of construction,
but, unfortunately, our visit was at
an unfavorable hour, so ve did not
see the interior, which is said to be
very grand.
The next morning, retreshed by a
good night's rest on land, we boarded
the train for Ostersund, Sweden, the
writer's old home. This trip was
quite interesting, the country being
a continuous array of forests, hills
and rivers. Along the boundary be
tween Sweden and Norway are high
snow-covered mountains, a favorite
resort for tourists in the summer
time. Considerable could be written
about the country along this line,

Mrs. Sarah Mickelson, wife of Mr.
M. Mickelson, of McCrea, one of
our pioneer citizens, died last Wed
nesday. She had been in poor health
for some time, yet death came sud
denly and unexpectedly. Mr. Mickel
son has recently sold his farm here
and had shortly before gone to state
of Washington to look up a new
home, in the hope that a change of
climate would be beneficial to his
wife's health. A telegram was sent
TO him, but he had then already
started for home, arriving there on
Saturday in time for the funeral,
which was held Sunday afternoon
and was conducted by Rev. A. Matt
son, of Warren. The friends and
neighbors of deceased turned out en
masse to pay their last respects to
her, making one of the largest funer
al processions seen for many a d'^y^
Many beautiful floral tributes ijere

voted friends, who in tiiia manner
attested their love and appreciation
of her noble, Christian and womanly
character. Deceased was nearly45
years of age, and was born in Swe
den. Husband and eight children
mourn her loss. To them in their
sorp bereavement the community ex
tends most heartfelt sympathy.
Her Last Long Sleep.
The angel of death invaded the
home of Mr. N. Badraun, of McCrea,
on Monday this week, and carried
away peacefully and gently on loving
arms the next oldest daughter, Miss
Rosa Badraun, aged 22 years and 5
months. About two years ago she
had an attack of neuralgia, which
later affected her heart and kidneys,
and undermined her-healtn, which up
to that time had been robust. Her
periods of sleep sometimes were of
unnatural len^h,^n^nothing ap
parently couIr*rouse her from her
slumbers. Thus a few months ago
she slept steadily for 36 hours, and
she passed away calmly and peace
fully in a sleep of 16 hours' duration.
Deceased was born in Buffalo county,
Wisconsin, Jan. 30,1879. She was
a young lady of a sweet and gentle
disposition, greatly esteemed by all
who knew her. The funeral was held
on Wednesday afternoon from the
Presbyterian church of this city, and
her remains interred in Greenwood
cemetery, where she will sleep her
last long sleep until awakened to
eternal life on the resurrection morn.
"Tarry Thou Till I Come."
"The Wandering Jew" having a
wonderful revival in literature lately.
The first book in this fascinating field
was "Salathiel," by Geo. Croly,
Christ's words to whom,"Tarry Thou
till I come," spoken beneath the
weight of the cross to the scoffing
Pha-rispp, sets the Jew wandering.
Most notable followers of this story
were Eugene Sue's masterpiece, and
"The Prince of India." by the author
of "Ben Hur." General Wallace him
self praises Croly's"Salathiel"as one
of the six greatest English Novels
ever written. One New York publish
er has lately issued an illustrated edi
tion at $1.40 net. Now comes John
B. Alden, so well known as the pio

an excellent edition at 25 cents even

the knowledge of his publications, he

An Intricate Language.
The intricacies of the English lan
guage are well illustrated in the
definition of a sleeper,
A sleeper is one who sleeps. A
sleeper is that in which the sleeker
sleeps. A sleeper is that on which
the sleeper runs while the sleeper
sleeps. Therefore,, while the sleeper
sleeps in the sleeper, the sleeper
carries the sleeper over the sleeper
under the sleeper until the sleeper
which carries the sleeper jumps the
sleeper and wakes the sleeper in the
sleeper by striking the sleeper on the
sleeper, and there is no longer any
sleeper sleeping in the sleeper qn'the
sleeper.The Classmate, fedt
