rented house in South Minneapolis last
fall, and placed an insurance OF $500 on
the furniture, which they afterward re-
moved and then burned the place. The
LinStrOm woman also stated that Mary Bar
rett opened another store and burned it after
putting heavy insurance on it, and then
made proposal to her (the LinStrom
woman) to burn this one also. The Bar
rett woman denies that she was guilty of
the crimes charged, and wants damages as
stated. The case will be an interesting one.
THE DAY OF TRE FARMERS.
Friends From the Rural Districts
Crowd the Exposition.
The warm weather of yesterday glad
dened the hearts of the Exposition directors,
who had been thinking of the two rainy
days just gone, and when the crowds began
to pour in as soon as the doors were opened
it filled their hearts with pure, unallOyed
Joy, and caused them to smile in manner
calculated to inspire confidence in even
most suspecting person. Whole families,
consisting in most cases of half a dozen per-
sons, came at once, and sometimes half
dozen families would all try to get in
through the turnstileS at the same time.
Then there would be fun. but not an angry
word was heard all day. Once inside the
building every one was Supremacy happy,
and wandered from point to point with the
utmost satisfaction. John was there with
his SophrOnia, and the look of contentment
upon the faces of both was a study to
keen observer. They were bound to see
everything, no matter what the cost,
and the candy stands and re-
freshment booths did a tremendous bust
ness. Some of the visitors were opposed
to visiting the art gallery. having read so
many of ''Purity'S" illusions concerning
undraped figures, but after they had once
entered the portals all their fears vanished
like snow before July sun, and many
pleasant and instructive hours were spent
in the art gallery. The farm machinery
exhibits, as usual, attracted no end Of at
tention, and it would take page to relate
all the remarks, complimentary and other
wise, that were heard. The elevator was
freely patronized, and it is estimated that
over ten thousand viewed the city.
After every one was tired out running
around the building they would drop down
in chairs and listen to the Mexican band. as
it rendered the sweetest music on earth.
Some of the lads of the party were fire.
young ladies for paying so much attention
to the handsome members of the band, but
outside of this everything passed Off pleas
antly.
