NARvEsoN WAS BUNCOED.
Fillmore County Mans Costly Deal
in Experience.

trio of confidence men who prey upon
grangers in the vicinity of the union depot

farmer living at Peterson, Fillmore county,

the police but little hope is entertained OF
rounding up the festive ."grafters,' as he
could give but an Indifferent description.
Narveson appears to have been a partic-
ularly "easy mark While waiting in the
depot Narveson was accosted by a stranger
who addressed him in his native language.
Mutual conversational exchanges followed,
and at the strangers invitation, Narveson &C
companied him in search of liquid refresh
ment Outside the depot two other strangers,
also Scandinavians. were introduced to Mar
veson and joined the party. Several drinks
were enjoyed at a nearby saloon, when Mar
veson's first acquaintance sprung the old
game of having a consignment of freight
upon which it was necessary to make a pay
ment, and asked the visitor from Peterson
for a loan. Narveson accommodatingly pro-
duced $50, with which his new-found ac-
quaintance departed, saying he would shortly
return. When he failed to come back the
other two said they would go after him,
and left Narveson to get next to himself alone

be prosecuted for violation of the law
There is a great Improvement in the

The cheese inspectors are not very

the last legislature requires cheese to

to the total solids. AS this raises the
standard, the inspectors are giving the
dealers a chance to get rid of skim
cheeses not up to this standard.

The chiefest matter of importance be-

of the race programme for fair week.
It was decided to greatly increase the
prizes over last year in order to draw
good horse flesh from outside cities
Heretofore the entries have been most
ly loacl for the reason the prizes were
not large enough to tempt owners Of
horses amy distance from the city.
This year the prizes will be third
larger.

The classes will be as follows:

There will also be half mile run with
purse of $3.50; three-quarter mile
run with purse Of $175 and mile runs
with purses of 5000. The running races
will be decided best two out of three
and trotting and pacing races best
three out of five heats. Entries will
close Aug g. Entrance fees will be
5 per cent, and 5 per cent additional for
money winners. No, race will be for
more than five heats. Purses will be
divided as usual. It is the intention of
the fair managers to make the races
one of the features of the fair. The
board decided to engage Happy Jack,
the famous Wisconsin horse which
PAGES a full mile without driver, sulky
or harness.
The board also decided to lease the
state fair grounds to the st. Paul Driv-
ing club for the meeting June % to 25.
The board ordered the purchase Of
guishers for use around the fair build
irgs. Secretary Randall was instruct
ed to build new fences on the Langford
and Smelling avenue sides of the
grounds and to make necessary repairs
to the buildings. Additional ticket Of
fees will be built where ever needed.
The main and carriage buildings will
be repaired. Secretary Randall was
directed to buy a new windmill to re-
place. the one carried away by wind
storm some time ago. Another meet
ing of the board will be held in the
near future to arrange for pro-
gramme Of special attractions for this
years fair. A great many propositions
have been made to the board, all Of
which are now under consideration.

LECTURE ON VENEZUELA.
Prof Thompson Will BE Heard at
AuditOnium Tonight.


Prof. S. F. Thompson, whose work for
cheap waterways has earned the name
of Deep WateriThompscn, of Duluth -
will deliver his lecture on Venezuela
this evening at the Auditorium, under
the auspices of the ladies' monument
association Of the GaiA. R. Mr.. Thomp-
son having spent ten months in Vene-
zuela, and during that time having ex-
plored territory never before trod by
the white man. and probably by no
human being, id addition to residence
among the South American Indians of
that section and in the cities of the
country, is well equipped to interest his
audience from the start and to hold
them to the finish. His lecture is Illus
trated by overdeighty superb views
thrown on a thirty-foot canvas by the
most powerful stereopticon. These
views are all colored, showing the ac-
tual natural state of the different sub
iects in all their tropical beauty. The
descrintiye powers of the lecturer, aid
ed by his actual experience amid the
scenes he depicts, are enhancing and
highly interesting. The proceeds of
these lectures, this evening and tomor-
row afternoon the latter more espe-
ciallv for the school children), are to be
devoted to a cause which demands the
interest and participation of all citi-
zens. Mr.. Thompson should have an
audience filling every seat In the Audi

NATIONAL GUARD MONEYS.
Legislative Appropriation Remains
at $4,000.

Legislative Appropriation Remains
at $4,000.
Any confusion of ideas as to the exact
status Of the national guard appropria-
ton supposedly affected by the adop-
ton of the recent new military code
has been dissipated, and it is fact
that the appropriation stands at s50,500,
and upon the same basis as it has been
for the past fourteen years.
A brief resume of the legislation
touching ON this matter since 1888,
when the first law making what was
called a. military code was passed, may
be of interest to those who are con-
cerned in those things connected with
the national guard. Chapter IA of the
General Laws of 1888 provided for the
| code covering the organization and
maintenance Of the guard. Article 10
appropriated $12, 900 for carrying out
the provisions of the act Section 4,
the customary repeating clause, NULL
fies part of the 1881 law, which carried
All appropriation of $500. Next year
an additional $500 has been appropri-
| ated, available Aug. 1, 1897, to be used
for improving the camp at Lake City,
but that is only for one year and may
have misled people into thinking the
former $500 appropriation had been re-
| instated. This is a mistake
In 1884 there was appropriated $14,-
500, which included the .above-men-
| tened $4,000, and an additional ST. 500
provided for that year by succeeding
chapter of the same act.
The fact that the original $500 is not
| included in 1884 clinches the fact that
| it was cut off and that the fact was
recognized, despite any claims Of the
past week.
It is interesting to note that the re-
| pealing clause Of the present new code
excerpts, among other sections carrying
app. OPERATIONS, this chapter 116 carrying
this much talked of $500 section which
had been repealed years ago. So it ap-
pears that in their anxiety not to over
look any appropriation carrying sec
lions an absolutely dead one was in
cluded in the list
70 sum up, in 1890 the sum of $4,000
was added to the national guard fund
for the then new Third regiment,
making the total fund $4,000. In
1895 an additional $4,000 was added
for unifoTfs, which, together with the
annual AUTHORIZATION beginning the
same time, FOR the medical corps,
makes the grand total just $1,000
This the attorney general, the adjutant
general, the state auditor and others
who have had occasion to look up the
question are content to stand upon.

MAY MUSICAL FESTIVAL.
One More Special Advance Sale of
Tickets

The Northwest knows when it is Of
fered a good thing. This can be proved
by the experience of the May musical
festival management. There has been
three regular Monday sales of season
tickets for the festival, and the results
obtained have been excellent. There
is only one feature about these sales
which is not entirely pleasing to local
music lovers. large niiinber of the
season tickets sold so lfab have gone
outside of the Twin CITIES. While
this is natural, as those Thousands who
come here for the special purpose of
taking in the festival are anxious not
to lose a single one of its concerts, yet
it threatens to reduce the local patrons
to second choice, If they do not get
hustle on themselves and pick out their
tickets in time. The management, rec
ognizing this fact, has decided to ar
range one more special advance sale of
season tickets, which will take place
Saturday, at Dyer's music store. 1t is
the last chance of this kind, as the reg
ular sale of single tickets will COM
mence Monday following, and every
thing indicates that the tickets will
go with a rush.

CURIOUS CASE, OF DOUGLAS
1t Is the Reigning Sensation nj
Smelling.


The case of Private Douglas, of Company D,
Third infantry, at Fort Smelling, is attracting

major after but fifteen days in the service.

Globe OF yesterday is a well-groomed,
well-educated man of thirty years, and ap-

company of which Capt. Gerlach is command

paymaster and other army officers In the gov

appointment be forwarded to him at the fort
This the officers promptly promised to do

may be held some illegal school dis
trict elections for the selection of school
district officers and the transaction of
