the state Will be the olive obeisk ex-
hibited at the worlds fair by Elwood

The cham ber of commerce people ex-
press some surprise that after the mer-
chants and other business mon have
raised $4,000 and provided for the proper
handling OF the exhibit, the farmers, who,
after all are the chief boneficiaries OF the
exposition, should be so sluw about pro-
viding the desired products eside from
those now on hand. Some good spec-
mems of dried fruit, and some tall and
big corn with as many ears to the stalk
as can be found and of as many varieties
as can be obtained, are especially wanted,
together with such other products as will
best exemplify the fertility OF the land
and the effect upon vegetation of the eli

THE WRONG MAN GOT THE COIN
Joe Smith Says George Reed Got Money
Unlawfuiy

Joe Smith swore to a complaint yester-
day charging George Reed with embezzle-
ment. A warrant was issued by Justice
Morrison for the arrest of Reed and Smith
left the court room III company with an
officer to look for the man who had done
him up.
From the statement OF Smith it appears
that there had bsen 50 SO sent to him by
Wel!s-Fargo express, and Reed learned
of this fact and went to the cumpanv's s
Office and by some manner of rerrese nta-
tion had Reeds money paid over to him.
When Smith went to get his wealth he
found that it was not there, hence his
cause for complaint against Reed.

COULD NOT LIVE AT HOME
Willie Horren Did Not Get Along With hi,
Step-Fatsier

Step-Father
One OF the cases that have been brought
to the attention of Humane Officer
Hutchins is that OF Willie Horren,
boy about - years Of age. His mother has
married second time, her name being
O'Connor. They live at San Julien and
Ninth streets. For some reasonS Willie
and his step father have not lived ami
cably, and as result the boy has left
homo. 1t has been about three weeks
now since the humane officer was called
on by Mr.. Walker, who keeps a cigar
stand on Main street near First, and
asked if he could not do something for
little boy who apparently had no home
and slept any place that he could find
convenient. Mr.. Hutchins went after the
boy and learned his story. Willie said
that he could not get along with his step
father and had left home. He said that
the latter had whipped him severely and
that his mother had allowed it. The
officer, after hearing Willie side, visited
his mother and her husband. They are
apparently very respectable people and
did not, the officer believes, Intentionally
maltreat the boy. His mother said that
he was inclined to DO incorrigible and
ran about the streets in the company OF
boys older than himself, and who had
had bad influence upon him. She had
she acknowledged, allowed her husband
to whip Willie. in the hope that he would
be made to mind, but it appears that her
good intentions were frnitless, as Willie
ran away.
Mr.. Hutchins went a second time to see
Willie, but the boy was out of the city,
as he had secured a place with man
who drives truck for one OF the whole
sale stores on Los Angeles street.
When he was found the boy said he was
contented and did not wish to do any
thing that would hurt his mothers feel
ings, and preferred to stay where he was
and work for his living. Under these
circumstances, and as the boy had good
naming with tho new-found protector.

favor the garden seed distribution.
The secretary has collected evidence
Of the misuse Of the seed privilege, but
he recognizes that it will be a severe
struggle to wrest from congressman
any OF their perquisites,
During the last congress Secretary
Morton asked that less money be ex-
pended In purchasing seeds, and that
he We given an appropriation for the
distribution OF farmers bulletins that
would contain information Of practical
value. Congress gave him this nppro-
pria,ion, but clung to that for seeds
also. But when the language OF the
appropriation comes to be critically
examined, al opening seems to present
itself for carrying ont Secretary Nor
tons views. The appropriation
reads: "l'or the purchase, propa'

quired by law Of valuable
