HAD MONEY TOSPARE
BOARD OF AGRICULTURE MAKES
BIENNIAL REPORT
SURPLUS FROM STATE FAIR
Balance Left In Treasury After Paw
ing All Warrants Is $7,41o.23-Re-
ports Which Deals Largely With
Figures Makes Few interesting
Recommendations.
Madison. Jan. IL

Madison, Jan. Is
The biennial report of the state
board of agriculture which was made
public yesterday shows a balance in
the treasury of $7,41O75 on the first
day of January, 1901, as against s7O2.-
% on the same day last year. The to-
tai expense of conducting the last
state fair was $39, 47736, while the to-
tai receipts were $46,S87.59. The re-
turns from privileges sold amounted
to $1,607.61 of which 1851 is retkoned
as the agricultural society's percent
age of the slot machines operated up-
on the fair grounds.
The rest of the report consists of
statements from the heads of the diff
ferent departments. One of the i'm
portant recommendations suggests
that more space be given over to the
county exhibits, and calls attention TO
the fact that among the most inerest-
ing displays seen at the last fair were
those made by northern counties.
1t is also suggested that a graded
ring for exhibiting stock be built, and
Ihat seats be erected to accommodate
those who care to watch the Judging
of prize animals. In this connection it
is urged that this part of the state
fair program can be made much more
interesting and of greater educational
value by requiring the judges to ex-
plain upon what points of excellence
they award the premiums.
R. H. Odell, who had charge of the
machinery exhibits asks that the man
agement equip the manufacturers
building with electrical power so that
the different implements may be
shown in operation
L. ]. Jansen of the poultry depart
ment wants that a new building
should pc built for the pigeon and
chicken exhibits.

co, and the name of Judge Arthur
Noyes of Minneapolis has been brought
more directly into it than heretofore,

revealed facts that have significance
in connection with the charges made
against Judge Noyes Attorne.

the interest of Alexander Mckenzie

consequently there was no objection
made to leading questions.

without doubt an unauthorized issue,
said to have been taken down in
shorthand during repeated perform

best acting versions of Hamlet, and

stated that he had a private interview
ard, lying in port at ST. Michael, just
previous to the departure of the ildge
for Nome. He said that he had dis
cussed his case with the judge, and
that he then learned more about his
own case than he knew. He said that
the Judge advised him to have the case
advanced and pushed to a conclusion
before him without a jury.
Hansen said that when the receiver
Cameron, was appointed for the
Topkok, he and his partners had OBJ
Jected, and he had offered to give a
full and sufficient bonds, and had of
fered to place all the gold taken from
the mine in possession of the court,
but this offer was refused. During
the conversation Judge Noyes ex-
pressed his regret that his course at
Nome had been criticised.
Archie Wheeler, who was connected
with Judge Noyes' legal following, had
been paid $500 to secure a reduction
Of the license fee of Hansens COM
pany, the witness claimed.
Judge Houghton was placed on the
stand before the commissioner, and
his testimony closed the case SO far as
the proceedings against Dudley Du-
boce for contempt are concerned.
In the court of appeals Attorney
Plllsbury presented to the court GER
titled copy of the order of the United
states supreme court, demanding the
contempt case against Alexander Nc
henz1e to the court of appeals. The

zle In court in order that his answer
might be filed. AS the case is to be
heard by the court Jan. %, the tes-
tlmony will be taken beginning today
and continued day by day until the
time set for the hearing of the case.
In the testimony taken in the Du-
boce case it was shown that none of
Mchenzie's attorneys had advised him
TO dlsobey the writ of the court of ap-
peals, and whatevr he did was done on
his own motion. On this showing it is
possible that Mckenzie may spend
few days in Jail while meditating upon
the error of his ways.
