S. A. Conyerse's IS herd of Red Polls
returned Sunday from the Minnesota
State Fair, where they took three
first prizes and the sweepstakes. This
with the six tirstand sweepstakes TAX
en- at Des Moines speaks well for the
high excellence of the herd.
There was lots of music at the Fair
this year, four different bands being
present, the Cresco band being by far
the largest and best. The Saratoga
band surprised those present on
Wednesday with their proficiency in
extracting fine music from their
instruments. 1t has taken money,
talent, perseverance and hard work
more than is customary in bands, for
these country boys to play so we'll as
they do. The Preston, Mimi, and
Ossian bands were also present.
The Dreyfus case terminated in a
conviction, with ten years sentence
of imprisonment in fort on the
island of Corsica. Some weeks since
the Philadelphia american predicted
his conviction basing his conclusion
upon the ground that the French
generals were as much on trial as was
Dreyfus and as they constituted the
trial court, the result was not difficult
of solution. Besides the american
urged that the religious sentiment of
France was hostile to the Jews, to
which nativity Dreyfus belongs and
the verdict would be one for their ex-
