gathered. On his return to the Sheri-
dan, he was shown a specimen of the
handiwork of Farmer Wallace, and his
good wife, which is intended for exhibit,
and to which Manager Dickey desires to
call the attention of ladies, throughout
the state, who desire to aid in preparing
suitable county exhibits.
The design of MI. Wallace is a marvel
Of beauty and workmanship. Imagine
to yourself a star, with points about
three feet in length, and tapering from
the width of foot at the center to q
sharp point. This star is enclosed in a
p%entagonal case, with sides about five
feet in length, and is placed upon a back
ground of red and blue.
The star is constructed wholly of
native grasses and grains. In one
point, is a bunch of wheat heads, about
five inches in length; following this, the
ends covered by the ends of the wheat
heads, is a sample of headed oats, this
followed in turn by a collection of some
other kind of native vegetable growth,
and thus, by a system of continual over
tapping and arranging is the design exc
cuted. These grains, of course, are all
securely fastened to the wooden back of
the case in which the star is made. The
open space in the center of the star is
tastefully and beautifully hung with ma
tive grasses-among them beautiful spec
linens of timothy and clover-while
around these are specimens Of the wild
fruits which are found in the county
especially the grape and cherry
which set off the general effect very
prettily. Between each two points of the
star, also, are arranged some very neat
and artistic decorations.
It is impossible to describe, properly,
the artistic beauty of the design, and the
impression made by it, when completed.
1t is pleasing to the eye and combines
with it's beauty, a compact and compre-
hensive display of the vegetable growths
of the county from which it is sent.
Gould each county in the state prepare
n Of such designs as these for exhibit,
the beauty of such a collection would be
in~describable, and they would be unsur-
passed for the purpose for which the
state is striving-that is, to make a COM
prehensive exhibit of the states re-
sources.
Funny Freaks.
On last Friday afternoon, during a
storm near LaMoure, a bolt of electricity
played a peculiar freak with a man and
team while at work reap1ng wheat in the
field, on the Metcalf farm. The light
ming struck the machine, tore the clothes
from his person, the boots from his feet
and threw him to the ground, stunning
HIM quite severely. The electric fluid of
course affected the team, and after the
driver was rendered almost senseless, it
ran away coming into collision with a
wire fence, demolishing the machine

The B.. p. Question.
Sheriff McLaren of Cass county, de-
livers himself of the following self-defen-
sive statement, in the Republican: +
want to say q word about the duties of a
sheriff in regard to the violators of the
prohibition law in this state. A great
many people are roasting me because all
the "bInd pigs are not pulled. They
seem to think I a just walk in a mans
house and search for whisksy and beer
without papers Of authority, but they
are very much mistaken. I, must have
papers just the same as any other man
before | can search anyone's premises
for anything. A complaint must be
filed with the county attorney and the
papers handed over to me before I can
do it. But this done it is my duty to
pull them and I don't think anyone will
say that I have failed to do my duty
promptly every time. I cannot 20
further than the law gives me power, but
I am ready to exercise that power at any
moment.
