1t is expected of Purdue University that
an exhibit be made of the investigation
at the Experiment Station. The exhibit this
year is in the dairy building. working dairy
is shown in operation twice each day. Milk
is separated with separator and the cream
set at the proper temperature, ripened by
starters" according to approved methods, and
churned and the butter worked ard salted to
score high possible. This work is done by
the students from the dairy school, Tests are
asso made of the quality OF the milk by the
Babcocx test for butter fat. AS the city milk
supply is attracting considerable attention the
exhibit also shows the tests for watering skim
ming, to detect formaldehyde, boracic acid, sal
Cylic acid and other adulterants.
The veterinary department and the State vet
erinarian has exhibit OF photographs show
ing sanitary and unsanitary conditions in city
dairies. tuberculosis, sheep scab. lumpy jaw,
and diseased tissues. Another new exhibit Is the
department of tubercles upon the roots of soup

saw the first races of the week. This was
probably due to the fact that the people
down town who witnessed enough Of the
parade to satisfy their curiosity were un-
able TO secure transportation to the grounds
in time to see the events.
The street cars were blOckaded nearly all
the afternoon ard it was impossible to get
a car to the grounds after the parade start
ed. For this reason there were but few
people in the grand stand while the first
two races of the week were trotted and
paced. The brisk wind made the speeders
frisky and did not seem to impede their
speed. The slight rain early yesterday
morning placed the track in good condi-
ton.
ONLY TWO RACES.
There were only two races on the pro-
gramme for the first day-the 2:30 trot and
the 2:25 pace. the latter being a stake event.
There were fourteen entries in the first
event, but four of them were scratched.
There were eighteen entries in the 2:25 pace,
but only six started. The officials were

H. Hall and G. V. Kell. judges c. II. An
thOny, w. w. Morgan and Z. V. Worrell,
timers.
There were lively finishes in a few of the
heats but a rule there was no finish to
throw the spectators into fever of eX-
element. Some surprise heard be-
cause CretoneS won the 2:30 trot as IL had
been generally conceded that Dick Berry
would capture the event. CretOneS is
bay mare by Patron, owned by the Forest
City farm, of Cleveland, o.. and DICK
Berry is "A bay gelding, by Anderson
Wilkes, owned by Mat Wilson, of Indian
apolis. Wilson drove Berry and ii was
noticeable that he managed to send the
little gelding under the wire second i'll each
heat and secured second money. 1t is
claimed by many of the horsemen that
Wilson could have driven Berry to win had
he desired to make mark for the gelding
The fact that Wilson did not seem to
want TO win first money i'm the 2:3O trot
does not necessarily detTact from the
honor secured by Cretones. The bay mare
won the first heat handily and came in
third in the second heat in which Crescent
was sent under the wire first. French
drove Cretones to first place in both the
third and fourth heats and captured the
race.
THE 2:25 PACE.
The 2:25 pace, one of the stake events ad-
vertised for the week, was supposed to be
one of the leading cards of the races, but
DR.. Monical, McAllister brothers bay
stallion, captured three straight heats and
ended all argument for first money. Pos
ton, bay stallion, by Poem, owned by Dick
Wilson, of Rushville, won second money in
this event and gave DR.. Monical a hard
race for the wire in two of the heats. Pos
sum captured third money in the stake
event and Rex S. won fourth. J. w. Park
hurst, of Indianapolis, owner of Jack
Pointer, that went under the wire sixth in
the first heat, claimed that Rex ;. the
entire distance To the wire after turning
the seven-eighth pole and should have
been placed i'm sixth place The judges
would not grant his protest because he did
not make it until after the race was over.

4 Forestry Exhibit.

Among the exhibits in the art hall is of
special interest I'm that IL shows a research work
bearing directly upon the question of the value
of timbers and forestry. The display consists
of about hundred photomicrographs Of Sec
tions of Indiana woods. These show the struc-
OF the cross. longitudinal and oblique
tOns magnified from one TO three hundred times.
The character of the wood fpres, their arrange
ment. the open spaces and ducts show with
maFlSabIe distlnctness. They may be taken to
indicate the strength of the wood, its elastic
property and ability to stand weather and other
conditions. While the exhibit in the
Photographic department, its real value lies in
the fact that il gives a fundamental basis for
forestry work. The work Is by Miss x. Z.
Golden, Of Purdue University.

EXTRA SESSION PROBABLE.
Said the President Will Call Con.
gress Together.

Washington, Feb. 16.-The president
told the senators who called on him to-
day that congress would be called in
extra session as soon as the Cuban con-
stitutiOn was received.
The president has seldom been known
to talk so freely with members of con
gress and other public men on any ques-
tiOn he had in contemplation as he now
talks with them concerning an extra
session of congress. He has apparently
been revolving the subject in bis own
mind for the past month, and for that
length of time has talked more or less
pointedly with official callers. Senator's
and representatives, have, however,
until within the past day or two said an
extra session could be avoided. Even
now there are many who refuse to be-
lieve that the call will be issued.
Those who have talked with the pres-
dent in the past day or two are not of
this opinion. They say that be an
nounced definitely today his determina-
tion to ask congress to come together
as soon after the completion OF the
Cuban constitution as might seem ex-
pedieDt.
The only apparent object of the presi-
dent is to have the Cuban question con-
sidered, and it is his desire to have con-
gress share the responsibility of decid-
| ing what steps shall be taken with refer

SMASHED MORE JOINTS.
Mrs. Nation and Her Army Sailed
Forth On SUNDAY.

Topeka, Kan, Feb. 17.-Mrs. Nation
put in a busy Sunday in Topeka TODAY
and as result the capital city of the
state has experienced more genuine ex-
citement than can be remembered by the
oldest inhabitant. Mrs Nation succeeded
in having the contents of q notorious
joint smashed, broke some fine bars that
we're stored in a building, broke into a
cold storage plant, addressed a large
meeting OF men and women and was ar
rested four times. The last time she
was arrested was as she was coming out
of the church where the mass meeting
was held. She says she will begin to-
morrow morning where she left off TODAY
and will not rest until all the FONTS in
Topeka have been closed.
This morning at 6 O'Clock, just as the
big bell on the Church Of the Assump-
tion was striking the hour, Mrs. Nation
sailed out from the state house grounds
at the head of 500 men and women, all
armed with hatchets, and moved on the
joints of the city. Nobody knew but
Mrs. Nation what the plans OF the raid
were to be. In the crowd were a large
number of the students of Washburn
college, some OF the ministers of the CITY
and a number of professional and busi-
ness men. The crowd marched in per-
feet military order. There was no ex-
citement, as the men and women were
following their recognized leader, whom
they trusted implicitly. The company
marched silently out of the state house
grounds down Kansas avenue to the
place on East Seventh street, kept by
Ed. Murphy, and amid the screams OF
the women, the shouts of the men and
the dictatorial commands OF the police
men present trying to protect the prop
erty, the front windows were smashed in
and soon there was little left OF what
had been a we'll finished joint.
D. F. Anderson & Sons have received
a shipment OF one dozen bob white
quais and will turn them out in the
draw that runs through NJ. H. Vests

Twenty masked farmers armed with

followed Mrs. Rose Hudson, wife of the
bartender, was instantly killed, the ton

rants are out for Others implicated. The
town IS in a fever of excitement and
further trouble is threatened
The saloon was run by Mrs. Michael
l.. LOchner. She had been warned to
close the place by Monday, but refused.
At 10 O'Clock last night 20 men, all
armed and wearing handkerchiefs for
masks, approached the saloon. Two of
the number, Joe Turner and John Will
burn, entered and ordered drinks. Bat
tender Hudson had scarcely set the
glasses on the bar when the men gave a
signal. Immediately the door was burst
open and the masked men rushed into
the place. Half dozen shOtguns we're
raised to the ceiling and fired, apparent
ly to warn the saloOnkeeper that they
meant business, while two men ap-
preached Hudson with leveIed guns.
Hudson grabbed the barrels OF both
guns for an instant and then fell to the
floor. The guns were discharged as be
fell, the discharge from one striking the
wall and that from the second piercing
the stove.
Mrs. Hudson rushed to the scene from
the living rooms in the rear and stood
in the doorway. She had barely reached
the spot when a gun was leveIed at the
door and discharged. The shot struck
her in the forehead above the eyes and
she fell, mOrtally wounded Hudson
rushed to his wife's side to administer to
her, but she died before he could carry
her to another room. A few more shots
were fired, but the mob, alarmed at the
killing OF Mrs. Hudson, quickly left the
place, without stopping to destroy the
liquors and fixtures

Pekin, Feb. ia few days ago Count
Won Waldersee wrote to the generals un-
der his supervision notifying them to
have all their available troops ready in
two weeks for an expedition lasting 80
days. Today General Chaffee and Gen.
eral VOyrOn, the French commander, re-
ceived letters asking for their cO-opera-
tion and expressing a desire to know
what forces they can spare. In COM
mencing his letter to General Chaffee,
Count Won Waldersee says:
"Owing to the unsatisfactory nature
of the negotiations for peace, and also
to circumstances rendering such a course
desirable, it will probably be necessary
to resume military operations on large
scale, especially toward the west"
1t is not thought likely that General
Chaffee will agree to such plan without
instructions from Washington.
