STOCKHOLM EXPOSITION.

The tobacco exhibits of II. I. H.
Bresky, from the neighborhood of
Landskrona receive much attention
from foresighted business men. The
goods are put up exclusively from to-
bacco raised in Sweden, and connos-
seurs claim they are almost equal to
the famous Cuban product. Upon the
whole, the exhibits of Brisky point to
the possibility of building up new
industry, and stopping the importation
OF tobacco from abroad. In fact, such
a course seems quite natural in the
light OF the sugar industry of southern
Sweden, which in the course of a few
decades has grown up from practically
nothing until it not only supplies the
home market, but is in position to
export considerable quantities.
A hinge sample of DR.. Lavals ''radi-
ator" receives much and we'll deserved
attention. The radiator is dairy ap-
paratus of which the milkmaids of the
middle of this century were not even
capa BILE of dreaming. The fresh milk
is poured into the lower part of the ap-
paratus, where it is skinned. The
milk runs out on the side. The cream
is carried to the top of the apparatus,
where it is churned into butter. The
efficiency of this marvel of inventive
genius may be inferred from the fact
that the butter is turned out as fin
1shed product from one to one and one
half minutes after the milk is poured
into the apparatus.
The Scandinavian Coffee Refining
company sells coffee at its pavilion,
and when customer buys cup of
coffee at this place, he not only gets
the beverage, but also the cup and
saucer in which it is served. The sale
averages about 1000 cups day.
The jury of awards spent eight days
of hard work on the exposition
grounds; but it will take some days
before it's official report is published.
Indeed, some of its members are in
favor of withholding the report until
the awards can be made some time in

MINNESOTA STATE NEWS
Experimental Work.

A great number of important expert
ments in grass cultivation are being
conducted on tho state experimental
farm at Island Lake. These investi-
cations are for the purpose of finding
out the various grasses best suited for
the climate and soil of southwestern
Minnesota Supt. O. c. Gregg says:
MANY men have considered that it
was impossible to grow clover success
fully in Lyon county. We have found
that itcan be grown with great success
1t given proper care and cultivation.
The Asike is the clover for low lands.
1t will thrive on ground that is good
for red top. It is not suitable for high
lands. The Mammoth clover is q
heavier grower and bids fair TO surpass
the red clover in Minnesota. Red
clover is biennial. It drops seed the
second year of its growth. If left on
the ground and not carried away, it
will reseed itself. We have land there
that has reseeded itself for 10 years.
For sowing on uplands advise farm
ers to use the Mammoth and red clover.
Asike and timothy are the finest forage
grasses"

Cleared UD.

Everything in connection with the
O'Connel murder mystery, near Red
wood Falls, now appears to be cleared
up, with the exception of O'Connell's
clothing having been saturated with
oil, and fire set to the building after
O'Connell was murdered. Mrs. O'Con-
nell says her mind is a complete blank
on everything that happened after she
killed her husband in self-defense.
The children are unable to give in
formation on the subject, and unless
Mrs. O'Connell's mind clears up, it is
probable that it will always remain a
mystery. From all the evidence so
far there is nothing that will convict
Mrs. O'Connell. although there are a
dozen different points remaining for
investigation. Preliminary examina-
ton has been waived by Mrs. O'Con-
nell and her 17-year old son, James,
and they are in the county Jail, watt
ing the action of the November grand
Jury.

Can Return.

County Attorney Peterson of Henne-
pin county, has given it as his opinion
that Louis F. Menage, he of malodor-
GUS memory, can return to his native
heath without endangering his liberty.
To convict Menage of crookedness it
would be necessary to introduce the
same evidence that was utilized in the
former Guaranty Loan cases. This
would be impracticable, as much of the
strength of the previous cases lay in
certain notes and papers, which have
become scattered since then, many of
them having been returned to their
owners.

A Growing Population.

The warden's report to the board of
prison managers, made at a regular
meeting, shows prison population OF
53S, larger number than has been in
the institution for years. OF these 10
are women, which breaks the record
for number of female convicts. Two
OF the 10 will soon become mothers
and will probably be paroled before
that time and sent back to Minneapo-
lis, where they live. Their husbands
are in prison also and will be released
with them, all the terms being short
ones. The board of managers has de-
cided to purchase additional binder
Irvine machinery, increasing the daily
output 500 pounds and bringing it up
to a total of $4,000 pounds. Irvine from
the prison has been in demand this
year and the entire supply, $500, 900
pounds. was sold, bringing $500, 600.

has boen written for THE Sun by Prof. LIbbey:
Tho idea occurred to mo about three years
ago that by utilizing the apparatus OF tho life
saving service shotlino might ne carried over
che top OF tho Mesa at its narrowest point, and
then stoutor lines or ropes hauled over until one
could be put In position that was strong enough
tostond the strain OF its own weight plus that
OF man, together with the frictional strain pro-
duced by his weight passing ovor tho line. 1
found that could obtain the cooperation OF tho
lltc-savinR service, and all my plans woro per.
fected In the fall OF 1895. They were intcrfered
with at that Time and since then no favorable
opportunity presented itself until this summer.
"Ihad examined many other devices for car.
rying line over the rock, but became satisfied
that tho plan as outlined above was the only
practical one, in view of tho climatic conditions
of the place. There was. for example, either too
much or too little wind for devices which do
pended upon that element for support, during
the period OF our stay near tho Mesa. In view
OF the result obtained, we have every reason to
be satisfied with tho methods. Mr.. Bridgman

and our ton Of baggage provoked amusing COM
