SMOOTH, But GOT NIPPED.
j. w. Reilly Sent Out for Ninety
Days for SwindIing.

An intelligent appearing young man
sailing under the name of j. w. Reilly,
was arrested at the union depot by
Officer Andy Call yesterday morning,
on the charge of swindling, just as he
was boarding a train to leave the city,
and later was sentenced in the police
court to ninety days in the wOrkhOuSe.
Reilly admitted having obtained money
under false representation, and accept
ed his arrest and conviction without
murmur.
Reilly is stranger in the city, hav-
ing arrived in st. Paul about three
weeks ago, when he took up his quar-
tiers at the Sibley house, Eighth and
Sibley streets. He secured the best
rooms in the establishment, made
friends with all Of the boarders to whom
he presented cards setting forth that
he was in the employ of the govern
ment as a diver. He was also an cleo
tric engineer, Reilly told those with
whom he came in contact, that he
was preparing to fill a number of con-
tracts in this city A telephone was
placed in the house, and Reily'S air Of
business Importance so inspired his
new acquaintance, that they willingly
loaned him money in various sums
from $40 to So. Reilly represented that
he had $500 coming to him from the
government and would repay the loans
as soon as this sum was forwarded to
him from Washington.
After settling himself at the board
ing house, Reilly began to make ar
rangements for transa citing business
with local merchants. Several mer-
chants, however, with whom Reilly at
tempted to open negotiations, became
suspicious Of his methods and had re-
ported the matter to the police, who
were looking for the man, when he was
arprehended by Officer Call.
Grin Bellinger, an agent Of an INSTALL
nent house, procured Reily's arrest.
The man had secured S. and $3.50 rug
from Bellinger, who suspected him Of
preparing to leave the city and fol-
lowed him to the depot. When Officer
Call accosted Reilly, the man denied
knowing Bellinger, but was taken to
the police station. J. S. Erickson, a
boarder at the Sibley house, was among
Reily's victims, having loaned him $20

FARMERS INSTITUTES.
Interest I'm These Meetings Reported
to Be Excellent.

Interest I'm These Meetings Reported
to Be Excellent.
Since February began there has been
no slackening of interest in the insti-
tutes on the part of the farmers. Dur
Ing that time meetings have been held
at St Charles, LIE Roy, Spring Valley,
Houston, Preston and Alden. The at
tendance at all of these meetings has
been excellent. The institute at LIE
Roy was largely attended by farmers
from Iowa, as we'll as those from Min
nesota, as LIE Roy is practically border
town. The people Of Iowa were great
ly pleased with the Minnesota system.
They look upon 1t as one OF the best
systems of holding institutes that could
possibly be adopted. The banner insti-
tute in point of attendance was Spring
Valley, where at least 900 persons were
in attendance at the two nails Where
the institute meetings were held.
Superintendent Gregg was laid aside
by a severe cold caught at an institute
early in January. He rejoined the
staff at the beginning Of the month,
and has been at the helm ever since.
Prof. Shaw was laid aside with the
grippe for a couple of weeks, but Is
now out in the field again. The only
member Of the staff absent at the pres
ent time, is Mrs. Ida E. Tilson, who
was called away on account OF the
death of her mother.
One of the pleasant features Of the
Institutes held this winter, is the
marked desire on the part Of the peo-
pie to receive instruction on lines Of
wider diversity than hitherto. New
subjects are from time to time being
put upon the platform. Considerable
interest is awakening with reference
to the sheep industry, and more
especially with reference to that fea-
ture Of it which consists in fatten1ng
sheep from the ranges. A wide field
has here been opened to the farmers
of our state. Sheep are crossing the
state in thousands and tens Of thou
sands every year on their way to
market. The great majority Of them
are sold in the lean form. Minnesota
farmers have a grand opportunity, It
is claimed, to engage in fattening this
class Of stock, so that they will find
an excellent outlet for their cheap
foods They could find profitable en-
ployment for themselves in winter, and
could secure large quantities OF good
fertilizer for the farm.
The evening meetings are largely at
tended, both by farmers and towns
people. instruction is given at these
In agriculture in certain Of it's phases,
and the meetings are enlivened by
music and recitations furnished by the
people of the town.
The State Farm school is regularly
advertised at the institute meetings.
The instruction given at the school
is explained both with reference to its
scientific and practical sides, and the
result cannot fail to be great in
f1ux of students next autumn. 1t is
expected that provision will be made
for them, so that none will be turned
away for want of room The next
institute will be held at Blue Earth
City.

Charged With Horse Stealing.

Edward West was arrested by Detectives
Gruber and Murnane yesterday afternoon on
the charge of horse stealing. The action was
taken on warrant sworn out by Jackson
Strain, who claims that West and a man
horses from him and failed to return the
animals. West denies being implicated in
the offense charged, claiming that he and
Mccarthy drove the team to Minneapolis and
while there Mccarthy sent him into a store
to make purchase, driving off and leaving
him alone. West came back to St Paul and
told Mr.. Strain this story, who took no stock
in it and procured a warrant for the arrest
of both him and Mccarthy.
