NORWAY FEARS MUI
Crisis at Hand in Negotiations
With Sweden.
TROOPS SENT TO FRONTIER
Compromise May Be Reached on
Demolition or Forts and Arbi
tration Conference at
Karlstad t Renewed.
LONTKDN. Sept. 13. Dispatches from
Chlstlanla. represent the situation between
Norway and Sweden as serious on account
of the determined attitude of the Swedish
commissioners. Dispatches from Stock
holm, however, are less pessimistic, and
express the hope that a modus vivendl
will be arranged. Apparently, nothinp
definite will be known until today's con
ference at Karlstad.
Much interest has been aroused by the
presence In London during the last few
days of Frlthjof Nansen, the Arctic ex
plorer, who, in February last, was con
sidered to be a likely candidate for the
Premiership of oNrway, and who, since
the dissolution of the -union, has been
spoken of as the first Minister of Norway
t Great Britain.
According to a dispatch to the Daily
Telegram from Gothenburg. Sweden, it Is
believed that Norway will accept the
Swedish terms and that Sweden will agree
to an arbitration treaty.
The correspondent of the Times at
Karlstad says he believes there Is a dis
position on both sides to yield on the
questions of the demolition of the fortlfl
twtions and an arbitration treaty. Sweden,
he says, does not want the historical fort
resses demolished, and. If Norway Is will
ing to demolish the modern forts, Sweden
w.ll'be ready to conclude an arbitration
treaty for the settlement of all future
differences, but not those affecting the
questions now under discussion.
Baron von Bildt. the Minister of Sweden
and Norway to Great Britain, writes to
the Times in confirmation of the state
ment that Sweden asks only for the demo
lition of the modern forts.
ARE TROOPS CALLED TO ARMS?
Swedish Papers Says So, but Norway
Enters Denial.
STOCKHOLM, Sweden. Sept. 13. The
Dagblad today printed a private tele
Kram from Chrlstlanla saying that the
second of the sixth-year class of the Nor
wegian conscription have been mobilized.
CHRISTIANIA, Sept. 13. A semi-official
denial s given tonight to the statement
printed In the Da'gblad of ' Stockholm to
day that the second to the sixth year
clasuos of the Norwegian conscrlptionlsts
have been mobilized. It Is said that only
a few guards of the Norwegian army near
the frontier have been called to arms.
A dispatch from Karlstad to the After
powsn says that a feeling of depression
prevails as to the outcome of the negotia
tions, and that the attitude of the Swedish
commissioners regarding the fortifications
has grown stronger. The dispatch -says it
is hoped, however, that a modus vivendl
will be reached after the signing' of a
treaty of arbitration.
"WILL LET OLD FORTS STAND
Sweden Docs Not Aim to Destroy
Historic Buildings.
STOCKHOLM. SepL 13. An authorita
tive statement referring to the erroneous
reports circulated abroad is published
this morning, in which it is declared that
the Riksdag has not demanded the dis
mantling of the historic fortifications near
Frederickstcen and Kongsvlngcr, but has
asked only for the demolition of the new
fortifications erected during the past ton
years, which were believed to be Intend
ed as a menace to Sweden.

tions as at the previous meetings.
STVEDEN'S DESIGNS PACIFIC
Explains Objection to Signing Arbi
tration Treaty as Yet.
STOCKHOLM. Sept. 13. Political cir
cles disavow any desire on the part of
Sweden to oppose the arbitration treaty
demanded by Norway, but they point out
that only the preliminary negotiations in
regard to the form a1d contents of such
a treaty can be discussed at present, as
the conclusion of a treaty Is Impossible
until Norway has accepted Sweden's con
ditions and the latter has recognized Nor
way as an Independent sovereign state.
The Swedish intentions. It Is declared, are
wholly pacific.

TORT CASE IS ENDED
LAWYER'S PLEA FOR MAJOR
DRAWS MANY TEARS.
Decision of Army Divorce Case Rests
With Judge Taggart Lashed
by Former Friend.
WOOSTER. O., Sept. '13. The trial of
the divorce suit brought by Captain El
more F. Taggart against his wife. Grace
Culver Taggart, which has been on here
since August 2, was brought to a close
this evening, the final argument of the
attorneys being made today. The trial
has been one of the most sensational ever
.beard m the Ohio courts, and has aroused
widespread interest A number 6f well
known Army officers have' been called is
witnesses.
The .scenes of the alleged misconduct
on the part of both Captain Taggart and
his wife have covered a wide area. Cap
tain and Mrs. Taggart having lived at
different times at Fort Leavenworth.
Columbus, O.; Havana, Cuba, and in the
Philippines, where the husband was In
the service of his country.
The principal Interest Is centered In the
awarding of the care of the two children,
both boys, of Mr. and Mrs. Taggart.
Mr. Sterling completed h'ls argument in
behalf of Captain Taggart today. He
made an eloquent plea in connection with
the disposition of the Taggart children
and brought tears to the eyes of nearly
every one In the .court, including Judge
Eason. Taggart and Mrs. Taggart were
visibly affected.
Mr. Sterling advocated that the children
be given either to Captain Taggart or to
his parents In Oroville, and that Mrs. Tag
gart be permitted to visit them whenever
she wished. At the conclusion of Sterl
ing's address. Captain J. B. Taylor began
the final plea for Mrs. Taggart. Captain
Taylor deplored the widespread publicity
of the case and stated that all the papers
of the other side had been given to the
public, while none of Mrs. Taggart's
papers had been scattered broadcast,
"We resolved In the beginning," he said,
"to try this case in the court, and hot in
the newspapers."
At this point. Judge Eason Interposed
and said:
"All we see hore are Just the two par
ties. I am trying this case on the law
and evidence."
Mr. Sterling, In closing, said that tho
decree would sound around the world,
and. whatever It was. it would be for or
against the sacredness of the marriage
relation. If it was In favor of Captain
Taggart, it would, he said, encourage all
engaged In upholding tho family, but. If
It were for Mrs. Taggart. It would be
construed as an encouragement to so
called liberality, which was another name
for depravity.
Captain Taylor, for Mrs. Tagyart, closed
his last argument directly after the morn
ing recess. His position as a one-time
warm friend of Captain Taggart made
his remarks of special interest. After
stating some facts of his early knowledge
of the plaintiff. Captain Taylor launched
into an earnest aha" eloquent defense of
Mrs. Taggart. He lashed the man. whom
he had only befriended when a boy. and
spoke highly of Mrs. Taggart's charac
ter. Judge Eason announced that he would
render his decision In a week or ten days.

clusion of peace. It Is welcomed unre

smiling Chinese men and women, old and

their household goods, are proceeding in
long lines back to their old homes. -
The Chinese greet the Russian soldiers
with one word, "peace." which Is repeated
over and over again.
Many of their homes have been devas
tated, but notwithstanding that they ex
press their Joy at getting back Into peace
ful and industrial occupations. Further
more, the game of neutrality to each side,
which the Chinese have been obliged
to play for so many months, has been a
hard one, and peace has brought relief
from this strain. It -Is no exaggeration

piest people In Manchuria.
It Is reported here that the Japanese
have disbanded the Chinese bandit or
ganizations with which they operated
during the war.

DECISION B3T THE WASHINGTON
SUPREME COURT.
Company, Advice and Comfort Are
of More Value Than That
of Father.
OLYMFIA, Wash.. SepL 13. (Special.)
The Supreme Court of this state declares
that the company, advice and comfort of
a mother are of more value In the proper
bringing up of a child than that of the
father. Where all other things are equal,
this facL says the court, should be a
potent reason for awarding the custody
of children to the mother, in the event of
separation of the parents.
The decision was given today In the case
of Ida Kane (formerly Miller), appellant,
vs. G. N. Miller, respondenL The Millers
were divorced In Walla Walla County In
1SC0. Two sons were given into the cus
tody of the mother until they became 10
years of age. and were then to be trans
ferred to the father's: custody. In the
meantime both parents remarried.
When the boys reached the age of 10
the mother did not want to give them up,
and applied for a modification of the
court's order. The order was modified so
that the mother was to havo them until
February 1. 1906. and they were then to
be returned to the father pending the fur
ther order of the courL The mother ap
pealed. The Supreme Court finds from the rec
ord that cither parent was a proper per
son to have the custody of the children,
and was amply able to provide for them.
For the reason above given, and because
the boys preferred to live with the moth
er the case Is reversed and the children
given to the mother.

Forty years ago, Dr. Pierce searched
Zfaiure laboratory for a remedy with
which to supplant the Ignorant and vi
cious methods of treatment, with alco
holic stimulants, then in vogue, and still
too commonly prescribed and advised for
woman's peculiar ailments.
Nature abounds with most efficient rem
edies, and in Lady's Slipper root, Black
fUVrtnah mnt. TTnlimrn root. "Rlnn ("Vihnsh
1 root and Golden Seal root, Dr. Pierce
i found medicinal properties, which when
i extracted and preserved by the use of
i chemically puro glycerine, nave proven
i most potent In making weak women
strong and sick women well. It contains
no alcohol; U not a "patent medicine,
nor a secret ono either.
"I was suffering with nervous headache,
pains In tho back and dizziness, so that at
times I had to lie down for hours beforo
could raiso my head." writes Mrs. Mary 3L
Thomas, of 337 Winston StreeL Xos Angeles.
CaL "After talcing tho first bottlo of 'Fa

with the results that 1 kept on taking It until
I was restored to health and strength. I
shall never bo without this great medicine,
and shall take a few doses when 1 do not
