GREAT NORTHERN EXHIBIT.
George Purves Collects Red River
VALLEY CrOp Snecimens.


George Purves, of the Great North
ern land department, who has for a
number of years prepared the exhibit
annually made by his company at tho
state fair, came up yesterday from
Argyle to attend to this branch of his
work at Hamline. The exhibit this
year is to be unique, according to Mr..
Purves, and will consist in the main
of the specimens of the 1897 crop OF
all grains and fodder grasses in the
Red river valley arranged in districts
such as Hallock, Northcote, Kennedy,
Stephen, Argyle, Euclid, Crookston,
Ada and GAINESVILLE.
In addition to all this, Mr.. Purves
has made a collection of specimens of
all the game birds in the valley from
the dainty thin-legged sand piper to
the giant crane, and they will be shown
in the Great Northern space. Speaking
of the crops, Mr.. Purves, who has been
collecting specimens for the past few
weeks from the eight counties of the
Red river valley, says that the notion
that the present crop will not be as
large as that of a year ago is not
based on the facts so far as this par
ticular section is concerned. The farm
erS a month ago, he says, were boast
ing that the crop this year would equal
the big crop of 1895. Now he says they
have gone to the other extreme, where
as he believes that the crop of SO
will be trebled this year in the eight
counties referred to, although the crop
will not reach the size of that of two
years ago. Mr.. PurVes makes this
statement with some emphasis, and
claims that his contention will be YER
flied when the harvesting is done. He
will proceed to Hamline, where he
will put in his time until after the
fair ODpnS

BEES IN POSSESSION.
Handsome Residence Held by De-
termined Honey Makers.


ELIZABETH, N. j., Aug 2S.-Bees by the
thousands have, during the last few months,
made honey an0 f0urished in a palatial resi-
dence in North Broad street, abandoned by
its owner for the summer, and the municipal
officers are very much worried, because the
bees must be banished from the house. and

contractor was ordered to overhaul the
house, make some alterations and put it in
good condition for occupancy. With several
men, he began operations. The shutters of
the house had been closed, and it was dark
inside. The men CROPPED about until one
found a gas jet and struck match.
humming noise, like saw mill on full
time, was heard and the astonished men
saw cloud of angry bees descending upon
them. The mem pulled off coats and hats
to fight the savage, insects. The bees stung
merciless, and when the men finally reached
outer air they were in agony. The con-
tractor was anxious to get to work, as it was
a rush order, but the men refused to go
back while the bees were there.
The contractor thought that by using sui
phur in a charcoal stove he could kill the
bees and proceed with the alterations He
took the stove up to the house and was in
the act of starting the fire when Col w. M.
Morton came along. The colonel convinced
the contractor that he would be liable for
cruelty if he killed the bees, and insisted
that the board of health could be forced to
get rid of the insects.
existence of a nuisance, and asked to have
it abated. AS result, a special messenger
was sent with notice to the president of
the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty
to Animals to have the bees removed The
members of the society were called together,
and they found it necessary to appeal for
legal advice. The board of health then took
the case up, and decided that the health
inspector was just the man to do the bust
ness A member of the board shouldered
a formidable apparatus and went to the
house. The bees were waiting for him,
and he rapidly retreated, leaving the bee
killer in the hands of the insect enemy.
The contractor notified the city attorney that
the regular authorities had failed to abate
a nuisance, and he was going to charge the
to be removed. II is supposed that there are
hundreds of pounds of. honey in the beseiged
house.

LARGE PARTY OF DRUGGISTS
Delegates VIII Arrive in Large
Numbers.

A special train on the Great North
ern will convey several hundred dele
gates for the American Pharmaceuti-
cal convention to Hotel Lafayette, at
Minnetonka, this morning, leaving
shortly after o'clock.
These delegates will come in by train
from Chicago and Duluth, the latter
having come UP by way of the great
lakes. The Chicago special over the
Milwaukee is scheduled to reach here
at o'clock with nearly two hundred
delegates who rendezvoused at Chica-
go from Illinois, Missouri and the
South generally. 1t will consist of six
sleepers.
The contingent from Duluth reached
there yesterday and started by the
Eastern Minnesota last night so as to
arrive here this morning. They are
from New York, Pennsylvania, Massa-
chusetts, Ohio and Michigan. They
are in three sleepers and will join the
other members of the association and
proceed to the lake in the Great North
ern special.

BLANK FORMS READY.
Railroad Commissioners Compile
Questions for Ins. Companies.

lOF companies.
The blank forms upon which the ex-
press companies of this state are to
make their reports to the state rail-
read and warehouse commission will
be ready today, and will be sent to
the different companies. The form of
the blank has been practically agreed
upon as being mutually satisfactory
save as regards the matter of inter
state business, which the express peo-
pie aver they cannot, without much
trouble, make reports upon, and which
they argue they should not be asked to
report on anyway.
Although no official statement has
been made it is understood that the
commission has decided that it has the
right to this information, and means
to secure the figures from the express
companies if such thing is possible.
Some of the representatives of the
company have looked into the legal
aspect of the case and state that the
commission cannot force the compan-
les to divulge the amount of their in
terstate business.

local representatives, not less than 200

The 500 line, which was made the
official line by the North Dakotans,

While it is hardly expected that the
reduced rate will affect the local ticket
market, it is almost sure thing that
there will be some decentralization be-
tween Chicago and the East until Sept.

ESTIMATE ON G. A. r.. BUSINESS.
Northwest Sends a Good Number of
Veterans to Buffalo.

From the figures obtained from the
local lines which sent veterans to the
G. A r. encampment at Buffalo, it is
rather difficult to estimate the total
number of old soldiers who went from
this state and tributary territory, but
the estimate of a well-known passenger
man is to the effect that between 1900
and 1,500 veterans and their friends
made the journey. The Minneapolis &
ST. Louis and Erie road, which two
lines were made the official route of
the Minnesota department, claim that
nearly 500 passengers crossed the line
and started for the encampment city.
The Chicago Great Western people

decided to declare the trail closed. The min

taking out several cross pieces of the bridge

treasury and department of justice. In spite

customs at st. Paul. Which of the three candi-
dates in the field he favors is not known.
There is also a rumor here that District
Attorney Stringer is disguised with the man
ner in which some of his decisions have been
turned down by the department and will re-
sign. His term does not expire until next
May. Attorney General McKenna is here and
1t is probable that the real object OF Byrnes'
presence is to consult with him about his APP.

this assumption.
