This may be your man on the CD The Swedish Emigrant:
First name: VERNER
Last name: KARLSSON
Age: 20 Gender: M
Parish: ST PER County: E [code for Östergötland]
Port: GÖTEBORG
Date: 1909 05 05
Destination: CHICAGO IL
Fellows: NEJ [nej = no; means he was traveling alone]
Source: 89:17:12821
However, there is another close match on the CD:
First name: VERNER A
Last name: KARLSSON
Age: 19 Gender: M
Parish: MISTERHULT County: H [code for Kalmar län]
Port: GÖTEBORG
Date: 1909 10 29
Destination: BOSTON
Fellows: NEJ
Source: 90:385:120
The destination shown is sometimes just the port of entry, so you can't be sure he
didn't end up in Chicago.
Hope this helps -
