the edge Of a popple grove. In the
pleasing arrangement Of this group
the naturalist has shown himself to
be. an artist as we'll. III. -
The wolves and foxes make an in
teresting group. Here we find the
gray wolf, prairie wolf, gray fox, red
fox and cross fox. Guess all foxes
are inclined to be more or less cross.
Another interesting group is com
posed mainly Of the mink and weasel
tribe. Here also we have the rae

and last but not least, a big black
bear standing in the center. g..
T Upon the walls are fastened mount
ed heads OF caribou, antelope, noun
tain sheep, domestic sheep, elk, deer,
moose and buffalo.
There is also fine collection of in
sects, such as butterflies, moths.
beetles, flies; etc., ETC..
Lastly we take a look at a very
interesting collection OF Indian relics
in a show case. Here are four skulls
OF the ancient mound builders and a
lot OF pottery and utensils taken by
Mr.. Brown from mounds at Rainy
river, besides many primitive Indian
implements and utensils oflaterdate.
Besides the animals that are
mounted, Mr.. Brown has many skins
both OF birds and mammals prepared
for mounting. All the species of
mammals that occur in the state,
with but few exceptions, are repre-
sented in the collection, some of the
groups. being very: complete. His
collection of moose and antlers are
undoubtedly the finest in the world.
Most OF the mammals We're collect

solitary exertion and hardship that
cannot be appreciated by one who
has not attempted such a work. It
il safe to say that such a collection
will never again be made in this
state. Representing as it does years
OF toll, its valye, if such things can
be measured by dollars and cents, is
many thous,.ni dollars. The
time will come when Mr.. Brown will
be we'll rewarded for his labor. Be-
ing lover of nature, especially as
manifested in animal life, he finds a
great deal of satisfaction in the pur-
suit OF this kind of work.

distance to see this fine natural his

Each of these 250 members will have two admissions to each of the ten brilliant lectures and musical entertainments. which'win com mence with Burdiette the Burlington Hawke-Eye man." in a humorous lecture Oct. 13, and end with pr. Geo. c. Uori- mer, the famous pastor of Fremont Tenn pie, Boston, in his great lecture. '"The French Revolution,"s in April.
 Thus each member will nave twenty admissions for s5, which makes the cost 25 cents to hear these great lectures, which ordinarily cost s1. This is the advantage of cooperation

THE "CITS" WERE SLIGHTED
THIS IS WHAT THEY THINK THE
 EDUCATIONAL BOARD DID.
Intended Conference Was Not Held Last Night, Because President Unman and
 Members Did Not Materialize.

The scheduled conference between the school board and the committee appoim- ed at the mass meeting of those who op- pose the payment of dues by school chil- dren did mt take place yesterday.
 The committee of four were given to understand that the board of education would meet and confer with the High school at p. m., and promptly at that hour They stood outside the designated building. t was unEghsed and repeared ringing of the bell failed to evolve a janitor. n fact, To jani'tor was there. P. O'Brien, A. O. Lane and M. J. Gregg, met the committee pursuant to promise, but President Ullman, Henry Gray and B. Steiner failed to materialize, conse- quently it was decid=d to postpone con- sidsration of ',he matter until next Mon- day, when the board of education will hold it's regular monthly meeting and will receive the committee of four
 The committeeman say that they were purposely sighted, and feel very indignant w. M. Newton says that Ullman refused to talk to him the othsr day concerning the school dues question, saying that it was political move. At tornsy J. w. Bush has taken the place of MT. HurSer on the committee, and will present the ctiz nsoside of the case to the board on Monday.

the queen regent receives Senor Sagiasta and SeEcu' Pidal, president of the cham Der of deputies tomorrow, she will make her decision. Her majesty today ex- pressed desire to retain, if possible, the present chamber, believing a general election would have 6isturbing effect. For thts however, a conservative cabi- net would be necessary.
 None of the liberals are inclined to &C., cept office as tfnsy would only find them selves at the mercy of a conservative chamber. General Campos has been en- deavoring to effect arrangements where by the chamber might be retained in case the liberals were to return to office, but so far fle has been unsuccessful.
 At the conference of leaders, the dissi- dent conservative Gsader, Senor Silva, pointed out that owing to the difficult ties of dissolution it would be best to retain the cabinet until it was clear that a new cabinet would receive the support of the chamber and that he would give such a ministry his earnest support.

FORT SMITHS HANGMAN.
Federal Executioner Ma!edon Talks of His Art and
 Those For Whom He Has 0fficiated

From tlhe Kansas City Times.
 Nevada, Mo-. Sept. 27.-Among those attending the encampmenr alt Lake Springs, this city, of the interstate re- union of old soldiers is the worlds most noted hangnan, George Maledon, of Fort Smith. He is a small man with iron gray chin whislSers. He was born in Ba- Fort Smith foity-one years ago. He hanged his first man there, sentenced by Judge Parker in 1872. He has cou .inued tto act as hangman for the United States court at For,t Smith ever since, hanging ninety-eight men sentenced by the late Judge Parker, who, d'uning his term of service, sentenced 216 men to death and sent 10000 to the peniltentiary. Speaking of his calling, MT. Maledcn said:
 At one time I had twelve men on the scaffold-five of them were commuted and seven dropped at one movement of the erigger. Every neck was broken. Throughout my entire service I never strangled a man nor drew blood from him. When the meek is broken the arms and shoulders drop down. When there is strangula.Ion they shrug up.
 Ninety per cent of the men I have hung committed crrnies on account of whiskey, eitither directly or indirectly. One of tEhsm, Booth Cron1pton. held up C. glass on the seaffold amd said:

the club and every one of its members ito push the project to success.
 The benefits of an armqIal fall exhibit in Birmingham are many. Low railroad rates can be secured, and merchants and other visitors brought here frsm all over Afabama and different portions of tine south. A splendid collection of exhibits displaying uhe mineral and manusactIT- ing products can be gotten together, ar ranged attractlveiy and the promoters claim that not a beltter advertisement for Birmingham and this district eou d hard ly be destred.
 This is the intention of the promoters, and the exhibit will be started with the purpose of having it a permanent affair within one or two years. An effort will be made to have every class of industry represented, and the exhibit, carnival, exposition or anything else it may be christened, will be more of a trades congress than otherwise.
 A committee composed Of Dr. W. B. Phillips, B. Steiner and J. A. Rountree was appointed at a previous meeting to take the preliminary steps toward es- tablishing the project. At the meeting yesterday afternoon the following re- port was made:
 We recommend that this committee shall be appointed at once and submit a report to the next monthly meeting of the club embodying a plan for perma- nent organization of the exposition.
 That nothing in these resolutions be so construed as ito forbid the commit tee from inviting other towns or coun- ties or districts from exhibiting their products subject to such regulations as may be adopted by the committee" In pursuance of the above the follow ing committee was appointed:
 Dr. w. B. Phillips F. Y. Anderson, B. Steiner, B. r. Roden, J. A. Rountree, R. N. Rhodes, Robert Jemison, J. A. VanHoose.
 These gentlemen will go to work at once and their report at the next meet ing will be important.
 We recommend that a. committee be appointed by tl1s Commercial club to take in charge the establishment of such an exposition to be confined, for the present, to the natural and manufac- tured products of Jefferson county.
 'That this committee be authorized to appoint a person who shall collect sub scriptiort5 fer the exposbtionSr and have general care of its arrangement. acting always unl3er the auspices of the club through it's committee.
 That thIs committee be known as the committee on~exposition to be composed of nine members to be appointed by the club aud to hold office for one year, or until their successors are appointed.

NEW GREEK CABINET
Will Be Formed by M. Zaus at the Request of
 King George

Athens, Oct. liking George has in- vited M. Zanis to form a cabinet. M. Zamis is a member of the Delyannis party, and hesitates to undertake the task. His accordance would cause a split among the Delyannists.
 NIidnight-M. Zamis has consented to form cabinet. M. Skoudolis, minister of foreign affairs in the Ralli cabinet, will probably retain the foreign office portfolio. M. Delyannis has informed Keorge that he will support no cabinet unless he is premier; but there have been so many defections from his ranks that the threat is idle.
 The premier, M. Ralli, this morning officially lendered the reslgnations of the cabinet ministers, and they were accept ed by King George.
 All the newspapers, with the exception of the Delyann organs. express the utmost discontent with the crisis.
 The Asty declares that the chamber has accomplished shameful betrayal By planning party interests before the in- terests of the country.
