his head. The ground surrounding his body
was covered with blood, brains and flesh
for nearly five feet.

the remains, when an inquest was held.

by the accidental discharge Of gun held
In his own hands. The deceased was we'll
to-do farmer of Adams county. He was so
years old and leaves a wife and seven

MONDAY AT THE EXPOSITION
Concessionaires Hold Session in
which Certain Unfair Conditions
Are Considered.

The attendance at the exposition yesterday
was light, as is usually the case on Monday,
there being no especial features to attract
a crowd.
The Concessionaires club held a meeting at
which some OF their grievances were dis
cussed and 1t was decided to present them
to the directors of the exposition. One OF
them was that they considered it unfair to
have officers OF the exposition interested in
concessions, particularly when their official
positions were such that they could not only
favor their own enterprises, but place obsta-
cles in the way Of others. Another was that
they wished to have the fireworks made free
to attract crowd or else abandoned alto
gether. They also desire to have large
number of cashiers put in by the exposition
dispensed with. as there were many OF them
unable to stand the expense.

Mr.. Wright has not been called upon to
bring forth showers from the heavens ut
very frequent intervals but now that he is
to be In the employ OF the state 1t has been
suggested that in the event OF another
drought he might act in the dual capacity
Of official rainmaker and clerk for the COM

Governor Poynter has figured up the ex-
pense of sending cablegrams to the First
regiment at Manila and including the tolls
on those received. the amount is consid-
erably more than the balance OF the ap-
propriation. Four messages in the month
of June, aggregating 1l3 words, will cost
the state s275.73. One message sent the
governor by Colonel Mulford, containing
lis recommendations for promotion, has
been kept a state secret and the governor
still declines to make 1t public. The gov
ernor has at his disposal an appropriation
OF 500 for books. blanks, printing, station
cry, telegraph and express, but In that
fund only 1865 remains, while the claims al
ready amount to $347. These bills are for
telegraph messages, including the cable
messages. Adjutant General Barry has
fund OF 81 900 for office expenses, including
, telegraph, and the governor may have to
depend for the allowance Of the claim from
that fund.
The Board Of Regents Of the State uni

account OF the inability OF some OF the

The resignation OF Professor Ansley will
be considered at the meeting, but 1t is
probable that the election Of a successor Will
be postponed until the next meeting.
The question Of boycotting the Greater
America Exposition at Omaha was dis
cussed by the Red Ribbon club, the local
| temperance organization at its regular week.
ly meeting yesterday afternoon. This club
adopted resolutions last year condemning
the board Of managers of the exposition for
allowing the gates open Sunday and sim
liar action will probably be taken this
year. Samuel Lichty, who presided over
the meeting, advised the members Of the
club to stay away from the exposition and
to influence everyone they could to do the
same. Mr.. Lichty refered to an editorial
| in The Bee. remarking that Mr.. Rosewater
was making a fight on the exposition be-
cause Of an honest desire to condemn some
thing he knew was morally wrong.
