portion of which comes from
Wisconsin, because the southern
portion Of our own commonwealth
has not seen fit to bid for the
trade. A city which has sprung
from the wilderness within the
past four years, which was the
scene OF a devastating fire less
than three years ago that left
thousands of people not, only
homeless but nearly penniless as
we'll, q city which has withstood
the scourge of fire and starvation
and which in less than three
years time has grown and pros

over 5000 souls.

DAN lIOOF'S EXPERIMENTAL FIRM

DIN MOOK'S EXPERIMENTAL EIRM.
Not 4 State Farm, But 4 Virginia Farm
Of the Finest Forty on Earth.
But two or three weeks ago a
committee consisting of Messrs.
D. H. Moon and M. H. Martin
visited Minneapolis to attend
meeting of the Board of Regents
Of the State University in sup
port of Virginia's application and
liberal offer to have the new
state experimental farm located
here, and when one takes into
consideration the gross ignor-
ance of Minnesota topography
displayed by certain members of
the board who wished to know
"where Virginia--was at" and the
mental incapacity of other mem
bers who really knew no more
about Virginia than did their IL
lustrious colleagues but would
fain cloak their lack of knowl
edge behind a brazen battlement
of seeming intelligence claimed
that they knew Virginia, her re.
sources and her ambitions, her
political pull and her piles of
rocks, ayerring that Virginia
was noted principally for the
latter qualification and that while
rocks, in the general accept
ance of the term, may be good,
still they did not think the huge
rock pile surrounding Virginia
would be advantageous to an ex.
perlmental station, we cannot
wonder that the gentlemen were
disappointed in the report they
were compelled to bring back.
But while losing the object of
their aim, Virginians are not
faint-hearted, and as an example
of that personified grit which

and OF advanced ideas, Mr.. Moon

the granger members of the state
board at husking bee or a bean

men engaged in cleaning a forty

and finer ground cannot be found
in the state, the top soil being of
such thickness that the heather

Where is Viginia?"
Situated in section s, 58-17,
just east of Dan Moons new ex
pe::imenta1 farm, It is in the
center of the richest portion of
the state. surrounded by mines
of a combined value of hundreds
of millions, by billionsof feet of
the finest standing pine in the
state and by hundreds of thous-
ands of acres Of virgin soil-not
rocKs-that but awaits the labor
of the thrifty pioneer to turn it
into the finest agricultural Sec
ton of the new north.
"Where is Virginia?''
What a. question to be accred-
tied to men who should be INTEL
ligent relative to a community in
the center of an area two miles
square which pays more taxes
and contains more wealth than
any other equal area in the state.

CASE REORGANIZATION seventy
five persons left here this morning by
train and over the road for Fairfax
Courthouse for the purpose of attend
ing the trial of Harry Poss and Thomas
Henry, which had been fixed for to-
day, for assaulting and robbiug Alex
ander McClintock on the 10Th of No
vember last near Edsall's station. The
court convened at IL O'Clock, Judge Z. NJ.
Chichester presiding, and the case was
called Immediately. The prisoners had
previously been brought in handcuffed
together by Sheriff Gordon. Poss look
cd extremely pale, but Henry appeared
composed and smiled at several &C.
quaintances he recognized in the court
room. Mr.. Louis G. Barley, of the
counsel for the defense, asked for con-
tinuance until the February term, ow-
ing TO the illness of the leading
counsel, MIR. John H. Greene. He
also submitted an affidavit to that
effect signed by DR.. T. NJ. Jones and a
sworn statement from Mr.. Greene.
Commonwealth Attorney ]. M. Love
said he thought it would be unsafe for
the Commonwealth to 60 into the case
at this time under the circumstances,
as the Court of Appeals had recently
set verdcts aside for the reason that
the leading counsel were i'll at the time
of the trials. Mr.. r. w. Moore, who is
assisting the prosecution, agreed with
Mr.. Love in his opinion, and asked
that the Court set day for the trial at
the February term. The Judge accord.
ingly set apart Tuesday, February is.
as the day upon which the case will be
called. About twenty-five special dep
uty sherifls had been sworn in to check
any trouble which might arise. The
court room was densely crowded.

GAS VS.. ELECTRICITY was the con-
tenton at an upper King street board
ing house last evening. Unknown
parties understanding the use of gas
being aware that telegraph operators
were in social converse with a compa-
ny of ladies perpetrated the joke OF
producing total darkness and created
alarm by making noise as they left
the cellar. An electrician exclaimed,
"Oh! ifI had pistol"; a comrade offered
him one, but he declined to so into the
cellar. The landlady more plucky
than the three male boarders made the
descent and found out the trouble.
