of the Eighth regiment, Minnesota vol
unteer infantry, will be held Tuesday
Sept. 2, in the senate chamber of the

The old Eighth is not only ce1ebrat-
ed for it's valor and heroism, but also
enjoys the unique distinction of having
seen service in more states and terri
tories and Travelled further during the
civil war than any other regiment in
the service. 1t was organized in Au-
gust, 1852.
It's first duty was to protect the peo-
pie still remaining in the frontier
towns against the incursion Of the In
dams. 1t was. stationed in 1862 and
1868 at Anoka, Princeton, Monticello,
Fort Ripley and st. Cloud.
At one time the members of the regi-
ment were scattered across the state
from Mcleod county to the Red river
Of the North, acting as guard
In May, 1854, they were ordered to
join Gen. Sully's command and were
with that expedition, sharing it's dam
gers and it's hardships, fighting Indi-
ans, drinking all1ah water and starving
alternately.
In October, 1854, it was at Fort I'm
ion, which is now but a memory, but
then was a busy frontier town on the
Missouri river just above the junction
of that town with the Yellowstone

regiment was at Murfreesboro; in Feb

YOUNG AUTHORIZES WANTED
LIBRARIANS HELP
Marion Crawford Waits for Writer of
"Sam Jones Niece's Husband"

Marion Crawford was at the Astor
library one day in search of certain
preparatory material for novel, and
was in the heat of a careful expIana-
ton with one Of the librarians when
their confab was suddenly interrupted
by a dashing young woman. With
feminine circumlocution she informed
the attendant that she was writing
romance of ancient Egyptian life and
wanted to know where she could find
some data about Rameses II.

librarian.
"Oh!"-with an eloquent gesture of
fatigue-''it is SO much trouble for a
stranger. Would you'-coaXingl
assist me, pledse?"
The librarian looked at Mr.. Craw-
ford, in whose eyes there was a merry
twinkle; then he walked with the lady
over to the drawer and made out a
list of volumes referring to the old
mummy. The young woman thanked
him profusely.
''And do you know who I am?" she
concluded.

SHORTAGE OF MILK is
TROUBLING FARMERS
Cows Have Begun to Run Dry, Due
to Flies and
Heat.

There is a decided shortage of milk
in the dairy districts of Minnesota,
and consequently the supply of but

ably during the past week.
1T is just the summer shortage, due

Instructor B. D. White. Mr.. White has

he was inspecting dairies and cheese
factories.
Mr.. White says annually there is a
decrease in the supply of milk. about
Aug. II said he, 1.-The cows begin to
give less, and the decrease continues
until the fall. Many causes are re-
sponsible. The flies and the heat are
the principal factors, but along in
August the winter cattle commence to
run dry.
1.-The shortage this year will not be
supply of rain has furnished excellent
pasture, while the summer has been
one of the coolest in the history Of the
state. However, in the country the
dairymen complain that the milk sup
ply had fallen off at least 25 per cent
OF course there has been a correspond
ing decrease in the supply of butter
and cheese produced.
I'm my inspection trip I found the
diaries in an excellent condition. The
proprietors try in every way to carry
out the wishes of the dairy and food
commission, and when within their
power, act cheerfuIly on the sugges-
lions given. Some of the dairies 1 Wis
tied were not inspected for two years,
and the improvement was noticeable"

WHERE BIG MONEY is
AWAITING AMERICANS
Gutta Percha Fields on the Amazon
Have Not Been Exploited.

The attention of interested parties in
the United States has recently been di
rected to the possibilities of the balata
fields on the Amazon. James a. Bouty,
for many years a gutta percha operator
in the GuianaS, on a trip Of inVeStiga-
ton through this region about one year
ago. found the balata tree growing in
abundance near Para, and on the ANA
zon and it's tributaries for thousands of
miles. The Brazilians had no knowl
edge of it's gum producing qualities.
After persistent effort, Mr.. Bouty sue
eeeded in interesting parties in the
United States and Para, bought con-
cession, and has lately begun the prac-
teal work Of producing gutta pereha
for the market. Sufficient time has
not yet elapsed to demonstrate the
commercial value Of Mr.. Bouty's per-
sonal experiment, but his work has
served to open up new industry for
Brazil, which may develop into large
proportions. AS in the case of rubber,
there is practically no limit to the sup
ply of gutta percha on the Amazon,
and as it can be produced at 81 fraction
of the cost Of rubber, it offers a much
higher percentage of profit.

STATE FAIR WILL THIS YEAR
EASILY ECLIPSE ALL FOR
MER RECORDS
AMUSEMENT FEATURES
WILL BE EXCEPTIONAL
Grounds Have Been Enlarged, New,
Walks Laid, Capacity of Grand Stand
Increased and Every Arrangement
Made for Handling an Immense
Crowd-Fast Horses for Races.

Two weeks from today the forty
third annual state fair will be opened
to the public. The fair has made such
rapid progress in recent years that it
is almost unnecessary to say that this
fair will be greater in every department
than the last-but this statement is
still strictly within the bounds of truth.
AS matter of fact the fair of 1902
will so far eclipse all former fairs as
to make their records seem small and
insignificant. For weeks it has been
the chief duty Of the officers to scheme
to provide for the many exhibitors who
want to show at the fair. Some have
been disappointed-tha was a foregone
conclusion when it was seen, weeks
ago, that the rush was on. Late COM
ers have been left out, but more have
been provided for than the manage
ment thought possible at first.
The Minnesota state fair is a great
educational institution. The visitor
who really sees it and does not add
largely to his store of knowledge there
by is not quick of comprehension, and
he and not the school is at fault The
fair is a great school, and like other
good schools it has it's hours Of recre-
alton.

Plenty of Amusement.

The latter is supplied in ample guam
tity and of harmless quality. And it
is wisely provided that much of it can
be enjoyed evenings, so that those who
desire to work all day may be amused
at night, and so be made to forget the
days fatigue in the interest and excite
ment of few hours of rest in the great
grand stand. The attractions here can
not be specified in this connection, but
that they will be satisfactory to all
and offensive to none is guaranteed.
The fair opens Sept 1 and half-fare
rates are made on all railroads.
AS adequate as the Minnesota state
fair grounds have seemed in the past,
they will be found much more so here
after. In the growing trees and grass
nature is constantly improving the as
pect, but art is employed to the same
end. Over mile of broad, substantial
stone walk has been built, that will
add immensely to the ease and comfort
of getting about the grounds Around
the splendid new hall of agriculture the
grounds have been graded and beauti-
fed with lawns, shrubs and flowers.

ments are made that will please the

races are larger in number and better

and nine $1,000 purses will attract
horses that it will be a pleasure to see.
And it will be a pleasure to see them

there will be no appearance Of hardship
in it. Nor will there be any of the OBJ
