A Nldn- AMnI,a Senntnr-

The Banner has watched the actions Of
our lawmakers closely and with much IL
terest, and has noted with pleasure the
bold, progressive, wide.awake course OF
Senator Gibbs, of Dallas county. From
the beginning he has been the champion
and firm advocate Of great state mrm. as
reiOrmatory for youthful conyiCts, instead
OF sending them to the ppnitentiaries TO
become hardened in sin by association with
older criminals. IL lisa shame 10 send ff
teen year-old boys 10 such school of in
Equity, and Senator Gibbs has exerted HIM
self nobly to have a reiormatory farm es-
tablished, which will be done, the location
to be some where in north Texas, with not
less than 1900 acres of land. Here YOUTH
iul c0nvicts will be instructed in books as
well Ms labor. They will be kindly treated
and their morals and minds improved by
the time their sentences expire. This
measure alone is sufficient TO heap lasting
honors upon Senator Gibbs. But
this is not all. lie has ALWAYS
been an able and earnest advocate of ali
measures looking 10 the combining of the
penitentiary c0nvcts Inside the walls. in
stead OF allowing the present bgrbarOus
system OF traffic in human souls and bodies
To continue. On the question of lunatic

what he has aroused by his bold statesman

one when we say that if he does not i'll the

Gibbs ia Il young man. but at single bound
he has placed himself ahead OF the old poke

days when oS-carts, dirt-tloors and raw
hide roofs were the rule in Texas-the
good cid days" when people were not
bothered with railroads, tree school, aud
telegraph lines. We need more men like
Gibbs in the legislature.

Notes.

There will be no session to-day.
This will be general gala day for the
scientists.
The campus looked fresh and green after
the rain yesterday.
The audience was still further increased
by the addition of new arrivals of mem
bers yesterday.
There was much larger proportion OF
ladies in attendance yesterday than on the
preceding days.
Many of the scientists are comfortably
domiciled at private residences, the well
come guests of our hospitable citizens.
The professors were highly pleased with
the superb music discoursed by Prof.
Danz's band during the noon hour yester-
day.
The A. A. A. S. beyond question possesses
IN its membership few scientific cranks,
who furnish amusement at least for the
other members.
After the reading of certain paper
yesterday it became evident that the So
called ''lightning calculation" business is
10 DC cIdSS6Q as a science.
During the day a deal of interest was
manifested in the lecture to be given by
Prof. Putnam upon archaeological explora-
tiors in the Ohio valley, at the Church of
the Redeemer in the evening.
The scientists explain that the compare
lively light attendance at the present
session is owing partially to the fact that
the association was unable to secure salts
factory railroad transportation.
To-day the botanical club will take tie
IL o'clock motor on little field expIora-
tion along the line of the Lyndale between
Minneapolis and Excelsior. The members
will, of course, come home loaded with
rare specimens.
One of the amusing features of tie con-
vention is that of coming in contact with
one of those ridiculously careful profes-
sors who look upon newspaper man as
though he were common thief and conse-
quently not to be trusted with a manu-
script long enough to make an abstract.
The rain Of yesterday afternoon, pre-.
vented the botanical club from field work
at Minnehaha in the afternoon as contem-
Plo'ou' AU ID PIOOdU1S, however, IndG Ine
| club will on Monday, instead of continuing
with the excursion to Fort Smelling andSt.
Paul, stop off at Minnehaha for the pur-
pose of gathering botanical specimens.
AS soon as the association has completed
its labors Maj. j. W. Powell, United
States geologist, will take force of about
twenty laborers and excavate the Indian
mound at Mound City. He has taken
some sketches of the mounds near Hotel
Lafayette, but he decides that they are not
of a character which would make an ex-
tensive excavation profitable.

Fall Styles Now In.

Custom requires every man to
wear hat, therefore it is the
duty of prudent man to be post
ed where he can obtain this indis-
pensable article of dress to the
best advantage to himself. Our
hat department is our pet. It
costs us nothing extra for rent or
gas to run it, and by far the Iarg-
est portion Of our stock is
bought directly from the factory
in case lots. It is, therefore, easy
to see why we can and do sell
hats at least 25 per cent. below
exclusive dealers. Don't make
an error and think because we
sell at such low prices that our
hats are low grades. We have
soft and stiff hats from the most
celebrated and reliable makers
in the United States.
Being headquarters for Stet-
sons soft hats in every shape,
we are also exclusive st. Paul

AFTERNOON SESSION.

Inasmuch as Prof. Howland's apparatus
was needed at the Universalist church, and
was used last evening to illustrate Prof.
Putnam lecture, it became necessary to
remove it (the apparatus), at noon, and
hence to postpone the introduction Of
Prof. Howland's paper until this morning.
B. S. Wilder and S. H. Gage submitted a
brief paper on "The use of yaseline to
prevent loss of alcohol from specimen
jars" An application of vaseline to glass
shoppers and covers of glass jars had pre-
vented the loss of any alcohol during the
three hot summer months.
Two primitive Types of Ungulata," by
Z. d. Cope was very interesting. The
specimens shown on charts were the ante
cedents of the horse,b as widely different
from each other as the present. Egus is
from the latest, four-toed specimen de-
picted by the professor. The other pa
pers save "Oyster Farming" were read be-
fore the botanical section which held it's
meeting after noon organization in an
other part of the university building.
Oyster farming will be considered later in
the session.
Adjourned until Monday,
