The State Fair,

A copy of the premium list of the
Minnesota State Fair for 1898 has been
received, Minnesota's State Fairs be-
ing carefully managed, and, as
ought to be the case, is constantly
growing. It will be held September
5-10 inclusive upon the Star Fair
grounds, midway between the Twin
Cities, as usual. The premium list
has been literally revised. Special
attention is given to the live stock eX-
hibts. and efforts are being made to
secure the best possible types of all
the breeds Of each class Of the DOM
este animals. 1t will be worth much
to the farmers Of the state TO go to
the fair and study these animals; see
them judged by expert judges, aud
thus learn their characteristics and
qualities. There are increased premi-
ums in the dairy department, the
woman's department and in both the
agricultural and horticultural depart
mentS. One thousand five hundred
dollars are offered for county exhibits.
The main building will be made more
attractive than ever and the machin-
iery. honeyforestry and mineral ex-
hibits will, each be given the careful
attention merited by these important
Industries. The amusement program
is to be greatly strengthened as we'll
as the exhibition features. The bus
mess men Of ST. Paul have contribute
ed purse of $4,000 for a pacing race
and the business men of Minneapolis
a like amount for a troting race. The
contribution Of these sensational
events makes it possible for the Agri-
cultural Society to announce by far
the best amusement program ever
witnessed at state fair. Send

of the house; besides. if you are head ed in that direction and seem to hesi- tate there are plenty of touts, or cap- pers, handy who will instinctively fath- om your destination and put you on the right trail.
 These touts are everywhere. They swarm about the court nightly and are so open in their assurance that there Is no possible danger attending a visit to the rooms because the game is un- der police protection, that you cannot help believing them. If you know any thing at all about the city you will know that everybody in town can tell all about the game; that they visit it with immunity, brushing rast the ven erable Chief of Police on their way to the elevator.
 You will know that Chief Lees is a nightly visitor to the Palace Hotel, passing several hours in the office or court every evening, and his presence will go far toward strengthening the touts' reassuring words.
 Knowled~o of the game is general;

ventory of your sporting proclivities, and after he satisfies himself that you are all right you are permitted to enter This room, like all the others, is quite luXuriously furnished, and contains in
 addition to it's usual fittings a we'll stocked sideboard, presided over by a polite and astute call-boy.
 It is not until the third room is reached that anything like the real character of the apartments is revealed. The first two rooms might readily be mistaken for the headquarters of a po- litical party or a delegation to some convention, but, in the third room a sure-enough roulette layout, ready for instant service, if not in actual use, is the first object to greet the eye. If roulette suits you there is no necessity of making any further exploration; you can be accommodated right there and as long as your money holds out. But if nothing but the click of a stack of chips will satisfy you just keep on through another door into the fourth room and with suddenness that will

so general that friends of the back number Chief are seriously alarmed lest some industrious tout shall get hold of him some night, mistaking him for an up-country miner, and run him up against the game The shock might prove disastrous to one of his years and mental condition.
 But you don't have to worry about such things, so you tell the elevator boy to take you up to where the fun is going on. You will be landed at the first floor and instructed to go to room 937
 No 937 is easily found. It opens from the corridor on the Annie street side, near Market, and is the first of a suite of -our rooms. The hotel books will show t.lat Joe Harvey. bookmaker and all-round sport, is the guest who occupies the suite, and anybody who knows Joe Harvey knows that he could have only one use for such extensive quarters. That use is for gambling purposes.
 There is an attendant stationed at the door, who, in answer to your knock will admit you cautiously. and while dSh1lS llc OOJeCl Ol yOQE call VIII carefully scrutinize you from head to foot. When you ask if there is any thing going on, he will reply. if satis- fed with your appearance. that there isn't anything doing this evening. but there may be some of the boys inside" If he is at all doubtful he will curtly inform you that the rooms have been vacated, at the sane time opening the door for you to retire. And he takes good care that you do retire. too. But that does not occur very often. for the game Is now well established with regular patrons, including most of the horsemen and men about town. with money enough to sit into a game with practically no limit, and the inclination to do so. The strangers who drop in now are, for the most part travelling men, actors and visitors from the coun- try and the East. As these are all easily identified and, perhaps. are ac- companied by some capper for the game, there is no trouble about them gaining admission.
 After you have passed the outer guard you are still long way from the Royal Bengal. There is an inside sentinel stationed at the door of the room adjoining 937, into which you pass. who takes another mental in-
The San Francisco call., 1898-12-23

that he would certainly have no trouble in gaining admission.
 Ordinarily MT. Gunst, who knows everything that is going on in the ten derloin, would have learned of these games long before this, and he might have aroused the old Chief enough to have him put a stop to them, or at least to their being run so wide open, but just now he is too deeply engrossed in Burns fight to pay heed to anything else, even though it be faro with loud mouthed touts declaiming that they are under police protection. Perhaps, though, he will find time af- ter the Legislature decides the Senator ial contest to look up this game.
 Then there are couple of crap games on Market street, between Sixth and Seventh, that need attending to as well. These games do not attract the iZed by young men - barely more than boys some of them-who play their dimes, quarters and halves where the others play fives, tens and twenties.
 One of these games Is located on the top floor of 1O27h Market street, and is conducted by Eugene Suter. A decid- edly novel plan has been hit upon to hoodwink the police. Lace curtains are neatly draped at the front windows, which usually bear innocent-looking Furnished Rooms to Let" signs. Di- rectly behind the curtains are black shades completely covering the win

turn card, spin a wheel or shoot craps while he was Chief of Police, emphasiz- Ing his declaration with sundry fan tastic expressions.
 Possibly the old man would actually believe himself and is even now dozing in his easy chair, dreaming of his forty years service in the department and pitching bouquets at himself for having 30 thoroughly terrified those wicked gamblers. And those wicked gamblers smile and smile, and are gamblers still
 No, don't go to Lees if you are look Ing for that kind of amusement Just let the old man drivel on contentedlv while you drop into the Palace Hotel and let your yearning be known. It does hot make any difference who you con- 6de in: any bell boy, or the colored porters, or the Chinese scullions, or the walters in the grill room, or the bar keepers, or the cooks or any of the loungers can put you "wise," and will do it, too. if they think you are all right. They may smile little at your innocence, but they will readily direct you to the freight elevator on the west side of the court near the ladies' grill room. There can be no mistaking it. for it is the only elevator in that part

almost cause you to gasp you will come full upon the tiger wide awake and do- ing business at the old stand.
 There is no formality attending your entrance. If there is a vacant place at the table the dealer pauses long enough for you to invest in a stack of chips whites 50 cents, reds $1 and blues s5- and gives you an opportunity to place your bets, and then he goes on with the deal.
 There is practically no limit to the betting; the cash drawer at the deal CTS right hand is always well filled with piles of shining twenties, tens ano lives, besides a healthy looking heap of silver, while fat wad of green backs of various denominations is ready to back up the coin. In all there is several thousand dollars for you to pull down If the fickle goddess smiles on you and you break the bank.
 And Joe Harvey knows where to get more money when that is gone. Besides Harvey does not run faro and roulette layouts for charity; he risks his money for the returns it will bring in and the returns are satisfactory. They must be to enable him to pay the army of touts he has out nightly capping for his game. ToutS are expensive: so are gamekeepers, watchmen and other ar- tendants, while a big suite of rooms on the first floor of the Palace is not given rent free as a rule.
 These expenses, in addition to the cost of police protection, which liar vey's employees so volubly assure you the game enjoys, being substantiated by the nightly presence of Chief Lees among these employees who ply their vocation under his very nose, require a much greater percentage of winnings to meet than a Square" game enjoys Old gamblers have figured out that in a square faro game-that is where the cards are dealt fairly-the game has only per cent advantage over the player. In brace" games the percent age depends upon the cleverness of the dealer in manipulating the cards. These same old gamblers will also tell you that no game can be square and pay for nolice protection.
 Joe Harvey's game was in full blast last night, the night before and, in fact, every night for the past two or three weeks. It has been known to everybody in town almost, except Chief of Police Lees. who droons away his

fully handpicked and faulty kernels re- moved. They are then roasted in a large rotary oven. Again they are gone over by hand for the removal of scorched grains. The nuts are then put through a mill and ground as fine as the finest flour, the natural oil in the grains giving it the appearance and consistency of putty as it leaves the mill, except that it is more of an orange color. By the addition of filtrated water, to reduce it to a more pliable state, the butter is complete, no other ingredient, not even salt, being used. It never grows rancid and keeps in any climate. It is put up in one, two, five, ten, twenty-five and 100 pound tin cans and sealed. The new butter is already in great demand at sanitariums and health resorts. It is used for all purposes ordinary butter is used, in- cluding shortening and frying. Physi- clans pronounce it more healthfuI than COW butter and it is much less expen- sive. By the addition of more water a delicious cream is made, and if de- sired it can in the same way be reduced to the consistency of milk The new butter factory Is located but a few rods from a large dairy barn, and is running in opposition to it.-St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

FARO GAMES IN FULL BLAST
 UNDER CHIEF LEES NOSE

evenings under the very floor where faro and roulette are in open opera ton. It is no exaggeration to say the game is open, for everybody who looks as II he had any money to bet has no difficulty in finding room 937. There are no heavily barred doors to keep out the police; only the ordinary wooden doors such as are used all over the hotel afford the desired privacy to the play CTS. These doors are kept locked, but the locks are of ordinary pattern and besides an attendant is always on hand to answer any knock
 Chief Lees is willfully blind-as Her veys's employees freely assert-or this fragrant violation of the law is but fur ther proof that he has outlived his use fulness. It is said the Chief has be- come so feeble minded that he can no longer detect his own presence, and it looks as though this were true
 But Lees is not the only blind man in town, nor Is Harvey's the only game running.

dows and concealing all that goes on within.
 The other game is located at 1049A Market street, room 4, H. Morse being credited with the proprietorship. This. too, is picayunish crap game and is totally unable to purchase police pro- lection, unless such protection is cheaper than it has ever been before. In all probability it is sheer stupidity or criminal indifference on the part of the authorities that enables these games to flourish.
 And there are others. But the game at the Palace is the most open. Last year Harvey conducted faro game there all through the racing season and for several weeks after the ponies went East. He would probably not have closed it down at all had not promi- nent resident of one of the interior counties lost large sum of money one night last summer and made such fuss about it that Harvey was quietly notified to close up.

BUTTER MADE FROM PEANUTS

A new factory has just been put into operation in Kokomo, Ind, for the manufacture of butter from peanuts. For year or more Lane Bros. of that city have been working on a process of making butter from the peanut to compete with the product of the farm cow and have succeeded in producing the desired article At the present price of the nuts the butter can be sold at 15 cents per pound. The process of manufacture is no secret. The nuts, after the hulls are removed, are care
