FROM MINNESOTA
North Star State Is Magnificently
Represented at the Worlds
Greatest Fair.
THE BEAUTIFUL STATE BUILDING
Its Many Large Rooms Invite the
Traveller to Comfortable
Quiet Rest.

For nearly two years every nation a.
the globe has been preparing for, aS4
looking forward to, the Worlds Co..
umbian Exposition at Chicago, and tia
great, but comparatively young state d
Minnesota has worked earnestly amt
zealously to add her share to the great
show, and to be fttingly represented
among the state displays. That Min
nesota is part of the Worlds Fair to
a very large extent is well proven by
the fact that she has a very interesting
exhibit in every exhibition building on
the grounds. All this, in addition to
the magnificent Minnesota Building,
in which are displayed the wonderful
resources of the North Star State.
Minnesota at the Fair is located upon
the corner of two beautiful and princely
avenues, and occupies by far the largest
and handsomest piece of ground in the
Park. Exposition officials have said
that Minnesota has the fifth best state
building on the grounds. 1t is built
in the style of the Italian Renais-
sance, and presents an imposing facade
to the passer-by.
Convenient and Comfortable.
To the left of the grand stairway is
the Office of Superintendent Hunt, and
no one can know of his untiring zeal
and energy in bringing order out of
chaos. To the right of the stairs is
located the postoffice and bureau of in
formation. This is convenience that
will be duly appreciated by the visitors
from Minnesota. All mail may be sent
to the Park in care of the Minnesota
building, where the owner can call for it
every day. Stamps, wrappers and postal
cards are also sold here, and letters can
be mailed in the building. Beneath the
stair is large check room, toilet rooms
and bootblacking stand.
Approaching the stairs leading to the
second story, one is impressed with the
beauty of the oriel window that forms
a semi circle at the first landing. This
is of stained glass, showing Viking

there was fear that the building was

GRANTED A DIVORCE.

Several months ago we gave an &C
count of the attempted suicide near
Lake Crystal of Frank Judson, who
cut his throat with razor. His wife,
Grace Judson, soon after brought a
suit for divorce, and this was grant
edMonday by Judge Severance. The
complaint alleges that they were mar
ried at St. Paul March %, 1892, and
that the plaintiff is 26 years old and
her husband 81. On March Goth last
a daughter was born to them. The
plaintiff states that except at rare in
tervals her life has been made miser-
able by the cruel and inhuman treat
ment of her husband. On March Goth
last, three days before the birth Of
her child, her husband threatened
and attempted to kill her with a raz-
or and she only escaped by running to
a neighbours. He cut his own throat
that day. On Apr. 14th the defend
ant sold most of the personal property
and left for parts unknown, but left
a house and farm valued at ST, 500. The
plaintiff asked for divorce, the Gus
Jody of the child, and alimony and
costs. The divorce and custody of the
child were granted. Mrs. Judson left
this afternoon for Michigan. Her at
torneys were Hughes Bros. and w. II.

ship in the centre. Above the whole
forming the roof, is the State Seal, done
in native grasses, showing the varied
coloring that is so much admired by
the tourist passing through the state.
The upper floor proper is reached by
a continuation of the stairs upon each
side of the landing, and opens into a
large reception hall, through the ceiling
of which delicately tinted window lets
in a soft subdued light, very refreshing
upon warm day. The center of the
room contains a large bourne, sur
mounted by graceful palm.
Curious Electric Effects.
The hall is handsomely illumin-
ated by electricity, three large
elk heads forming unique
chandelier. each prong of the antlers
holds an electric light and when the
current is turned on. the effect is simply
beyond description. About the entire
room are placed in handsome gilt frames
large Photographic views of cities,
scenery, industries and homes, the
whole giving complete and compre-
hensive idea of Minnesota, and is
source of unquestionable information to
the stranger.
Upon one side of this hall is suite of
four rooms, consisting of commissioners
room, reception room, reading room and
smoking room, with abundant toilet
facilities. The first is a front corner
room in delicate tones of cream and
pink. The furniture is oak upholstered
in leather. This room is devoted to the
use of the state commissioners. The ad-
joining apartment is reception room,
the prevailing color of furnishing being
gold and brown, with a freize design
representing corn, the work of Miss
Hickey, of Minneapolis. A handsome
piano donated to the state by George P.
Bent, of Chicago, occupies prominent
position. A handsome oil portrait of
Mr.. Markell, of Duluth, the work of G.
S. Hatch, of the same city, is said to be
a finely executed likeness. Upon the
opposite side of the wall hangs an old
painting owned by Mrs. Annie
Otto. of Mankato. The subject is taken
from NEUROLOGICAL lore and is said to
be the work of the first American artist
who won fame as figure painter. The
picture has been through two fires and
the authors name thus destroyed.
Daily and Weekly Newspapers.
The adjoining apartment is used as a
reading room. The prevailing color of
its decoration is cool sage green. The
frieze of this room was designed by
Miss Whitford of Hastings, the motive
being the lady slipper, gracefully ar
ranged. There can be found flies of all
daily and nearly all the weekly papers
in the state, and that this feature is ap-
preciated by the average visitor goes

OUR STATE EXHIBITS.
The Minnesota Building Is a
Good Fair in Itself.

AS the visitor enters the circular
walk and ascends the steps leading to
the wide veranda. he comes upon Min
nesota's first exhibit, the statue of
Hiawatha and Minnehaha The money
for erecting this statue was provided by
penny contributions from Minnesota
school children, and the work was done
under the direction of the Auxiliary
Board to the State Commission. The
group represents that part Of Long
fellows poem that tells us that,
'Over wild and rushing rivers
In his arms he bore the maiden"
The making of this beautiful group
was the work Of Jakob Fjelde
of Minneapolis, and that the
sculptor has found beautiful
thought, one that is not only pictur-
esque, but also "a much more difficult
thing) sculpturesque, is beyond ques-
ton after one glance at this work of
art. The statue is shown now only in
plaster, but it is the intention of those
having the matter in charge, providing
the necessary funds are forthcoming, to
have it cast in bronze and returned to
Minnesota
Interior of the Building.
The interior of the Minnesota build
ing is reached by wide entrances upon
either side of the statue, and the entire
exhibit is before the visitor ere he has
had time to realize that he is within
the port ais. Just in front of the large
doors stands the Mankato drinking
fountain. This is most beautiful
specimen of the stonemason's artistic
ability, and shows to good advantage
the stone from the different quarries
that surround this enterprising little
city. The fountain has faucets upon
two sides, from which the thirsty way
farer may draw pure filtered water.
This exhibit will be returned to Man
kato at the close of the fair. Another
striking exhibit of stone is that from
the Babcock quarries of Kasota.
To the right of the entrance is placed
about 900 specimens Of the fora and
grasses. These are shown in wing
frames, hung upon stand, and they

affording the student ample opportun-

specimens of fora done in water color
by Miss M. E. Roberts of Minneapolis.
In this section is also placed paint

Then, too, there are about seventy
specimens of the game birds, nicely
mounted ard arranged in glass cases.
There are also a large number of the
song birds shown in a similar manner.
Hanging from the sill of one window
on this side of the building is unique
drapery in the shape of shells and reeds
strung by some little 6-year-old girls in
the Hendricks School of st. Paul.
Here too, are shown the native woods
of the state, numbering about sixty.
They hang from the window stills on the
east side of the building and are shown
in stained, natural finish and IN
finished condition, and make display
that any Minnesotian would be proud of.
Just in front of this display are six
cone-shaped stands with matched roofs.
