POISONED AT TRUMAN.
A Mysterious Case in Which Three WO.
men are Sufferers.

A dispatch from Fairmont in Tuesday
mornings Minneapolis Tribune says :
The mysterious poisoning of three
women at the village of Truman has
caused great excitement there.
Soon after partaking of meal at a
hotel Mrs. Phillips, Miss Clemmons
and Miss Johnson were taken violently
ill. Two of them may not recover.
Intimations are being made that the
food of which the women partook had
been poisoned by an enemy of one of
them.
The authorities, however, incline
to the belief that it is a case of pto-
maine poisoning.

A FISH EXHIBIT.

Pians on 70 I TO Acquire q ). Hdid One
for futur State airs.
st. Paul June a. -Minnesota will
have an exhibit Of game and fish at
the state fair in after years. Just how
extensive it will be depends upon the
appropriation the legislature will
grant to support the work, which will
be begun with state fair money this
year.
Executive Agent S. F. Fullerton of
the state game and fish commission
has been in conference with Secretary
Randall of the fair association. Sec
rotary Randall agreed to build aquar-
iums if the state will furnish the fish
to stock them. Mr.. Fullerton accepted
the proposition, and next winter he
will ask the legislature for an appro-
priation large enough to establish a
permanent exhibit equal to any at the
Pan American exposition or Nash
vile.
The exhibit will include this year
moose, deer and elk heads and speci-
mems of all kinds of game birds that
grow wild in Minnesota. 1t is prob
able that several private collections of
fine quality will be secured for the first
year while state collection is being
prepared.
AS for fish, the state hatchery has a
pretty good collection. The United
States fish commission has promised to
send some new stock for the plant,
which will make it as good as the ex
hibits at the Pan American or Nash
Vile.
The grotto will be in the shape of a
tunnel and will appear as though
blasted out of solid rock. At night the
aquarium will be lighted by electric
bulbs in the wafer, giving a very
pretty effect.
The fish exhibit at the next fair will
consist of about 1000 specimens, in
Guiding all the sturgeon families,
trout, bass, pike, croppie and other
game fish. The aquarium will cost
about 1000, over half of which will
bo spent for plate glass.
