PROMINENT STATESMAN
FELL DEAD AT HOME.
Gave Address at Opening of University Last Fall.
Edward H. Madison representative in congress from the seventh Kansas district, died at the breakfast table at his home in Dodge City yesterday morning. Heart failure was the cause. Representative Madison gave the opening address at the University last year, and was in Lawrence last summer to attend the funeral of the late A. C. Mitchell. He was an insurgent republican and a strong friend to the President. He had intended to entertain President Taft at his home when the latter made his visit to Kansas this fall.

LETTER FROM NORWAY
Prof. Sturtevant Has Had Great Summer.
I have just returned from my long journey through Scandinavia and am now awaiting the festivities connected with the Jubileum. I had an extremely interesting and instructive trip and I must tell you all about it when I return to Kansas. I made a circuit of the three countries, starting from Kristiania, as follows: Kristianin—Voss, drove three days through Hardanger to Stavanger, Bergen, Trondhjem across by rail to Sweden, Upsala, Stockholm, Visby on the island of Gotland, back through Sweden by way of the Gota canal to Goteborg, Copenhagen, when I took two most interesting trips one to the old castle of Fredrikskorg and the other to Roskilde, Kristiania. I learned a great deal through this trip, especially as regards the history, customs and social organization of the countries.
One very wise thing I hit upon during my travels was to use the lending libraries in the different towns. When I was not walking or sailing I had a work of Norwegian literature at my side
This was one of the most profitable things I did because it not only afforded me pleasure and gave me something to do when I otherwise would simply be afflicted with 'Langeweile' but it also saved me an enormous amount of time. What I have read this summer I could not have read in three or four years in Kansas simply for lack of time, since my extra time in Kansas is spent in investigation. When I was in Trondhjem I read 'Amtmandens Dottre' by Camilla Collet, one of the greatest novels I ever read. Henrik Ibsen probably conceived the germ of his 'Pillars of Society' from this work. Besides, this novel has the distinction of being the first work of Norwegian literature which champions the cause of woman socially, morally and politically. Bjornson in his novels of the same character was undoubtedly deeply affected and influenced by this work. Well, my point is this: I read this work immediately after my stay in Bergen where I had personal friends.
At Hop, in the country, I was received almost as one of the family and had a chance to study Norwegian life in the country. When I read 'Amtmandens Dottre' I could see everything in a light which never would have been the case if I had not had this most fortunate opportunity. After I got over into Sweden I began to read Swedish literature, I was right in the atmosphere of Sweden when I read Selma Lagerlof. I read her' Nils Holgersson's Wonderful Journey through Sweden' while I myself was traveling through the very districts she described.
In Denmark I read Danish literature, especially Danish history in connection with Fredrikksborg and Roskilde. A Danish village offers a rather pleasant contrast to a Norwegian. I could not help but feel the solemnity and severity of nature among the Norwegian mountains. A barren soil and eternal snow must necessarily breed such natures as Brand. But the peaceful, green fields of Ljalland with their farms and gardens give one the feeling of a benign God who is mild and generous. Such must necessarily breed such natures as Holberg's peasant characters, who (what ever faults they may have) are always kind hearted and good natured; so good natured in fact that one can easily forgive their love of brandy and tobacco.
Last Saturday evening I had the pleasure of seeing Ibsen's 'Pillars of Society' upon the Norwegian stage. One thing struck me very forceibly in the interpretation. One of the chief faults of the play (which many critics, especially H. Boyesen, bring against it) is the complete change in the moral character of a man whose life has been habituately deceitful and selfish. Johan Fabbstrom, who played the part of Konsul Berniek, portrayed a much more gradually change and a much more forceful moral
