The Latest Bunco Game.

The latest buneo game was worked
along Fore street the other evening. There
was a man and boy manipulating a
street piano. They would play couple
of tunes when the boy would canvass the
neighborhood for money. A couple of
youngsters decided upon novel scheme.
After the first tune had been played and
before the legitimate collector would start
his canvassing these two swindlers would
enter the stores hat in hand and ask for
money. They had no connection with
the couple running the concert. In this
way they collected quite a lot of change.
In the saloon they became SO bold and
insolent at the refusal Of their demands
that they were thrown into the street,
and one of them had his features badly
damaged. AT last accounts the Infatuated
Italians were cunning for them.

dispensed to the people. The tickets are
sold by the government for franc and
dealers buying them are allowed a dis
count on the price charged by the govern
ment. The tickets are then sold to the
people, and at this early day one can buy
them at low figure, slightly in advance
of the par value, but as the time for the
fair draws nearer the tickets will sell at
a higher premium, but as usual thing
at that time a combination Is started
and the price of tickets drops as low as 10
and 20 cents for each admission.
In response to question as regards
business and its prospects in Europe, Mr..
Elwen said: "I believe business isssmore
prosperous than it has been for two years
and can see that courage and confidence
is stronger among the business people"

THE ART EXHIBITION.
Its Close Last Night-What a Salt
Lake Woman Says.

The final view of the twelfth annual
exhibition of class studies by the Sac
ramento School of Design, was held at
the Art Gallery last evening, and drew
a large congregation Of people, who
were very sincere in the interest they
manifested. The studies were warmly
by pupils, while others were left in
course of negotiation. The fact is,
that there was not in the entire collec-
ton of studies for sale, one that was
mediocre or one that is not worth
twice the modest price asked.
A lady from Salt Lake City who
made two purchases remarked, This is
a superior collection. If it could be
moved bodily to Salt Lake City every
piece shown would sell within a day. I
know it, for 1 know that community
and its appreciation of such work as

half an hour the picture galleries, light

claimed, is in possession of a certified
copy of the proceedings in a case in
Canada where Stilwell had been con-
victed of criminal libel. Another wit
ness would testify as to the character
of plaintiff
The defendants counsel said further
that they would prove certain shady
transactions on the part of Stilwell
that would show the truth of the pub
lication
Judge Hart said it appeared that the
defense had used proper diligence in
the effort to have its witnesses here,
but having failed he would allow an
other week in which to prepare for the
examination
The attorneys for the defense thought
it would not be proper for w E. Doan,
chief official stenographer, to report the
testimony, as he would probably be a
witness for the prosecution, so Judge
Hart assented to suggestion from the
prosecution that Frank Dewitt be
named to report the testimony.

FRESNO RAISINS.
Samples of Choice Articles to be Seen
at the Capitol.

Secretary B. NJ. LelOng of the State
Board of Horticulture has placed on
exhibition in the horticultural cham
bers in the State Capitol building four
boxes of choice raisins packed by a
firm in Fresno.
One of the boxes contains seedless
Sultanas, two muscatelle, packed in the
cluster, and one is the seedless mus
catelle, fast becoming the California
raiSin of commerce.
The packing, which was done by an
expert, is we'll worth examinina ton by
persons Interested in raisin production.
and even a casual observation will
SHOW that the marketable value of the
article depends much on it's condition
when offered for sale.
