! Among the superintendent of State
Fair departments none is buster just
now than John G. Mills, of Preston,
who has charge Of the sheep and swine.
Last year the sheep exhibit was an
enormous one. There has been increas-
ing interest in sheep raising in re-
cent years and this has been reflected
in the growing exhibits at the State
Fair. This year the management Of the
Fair has recognized the development of
the sheep industry by increasing the
premiums in number of the classes
and by erecting, for the use of the
sheep breeders, the largest sheep ex-
hibition building to be found on any
fair ground in the world.
In speaking Of the prospects for this
years display in the sheep and swine
division, Mr.. Mills says:

Will Be a Great Exhibit.

sYou can confidently say that the
exhibit at the Minnesota State Fair, in
the sheep and swine department, will
be a hummer this gear. Last year we
were hampered with not having room.
This year the State Fair management
has erected mammoth new barn for
the accommodation of the sheep and
swine on exhibition. 1t will accommo-
date 500 sheep easily. Besides it is well
ventilated, well lighted, and has ade-
quate water supply within easy reach
of all the pens within the barn.
"W. It. Potts, of the Union Stock
Yards, Chicago, has been secured to do
the judging in the sheep department.
No one is better fitted to do this work
than Mr.. Potts. and the management
is in high hopes of his giving the eX-
hibitors and the people good service.
Some Noted Breeders.
1--WE are expecting to have such not
ed importers and breeders as Geo. Nc
Kerrow, of Sussex, Wis, with a fine
show. Mr.. McKerrow always has good
ones. This year his exhibit will be
strengthened with an importation of a
number of Royal winners.
Geo. Allen, of Allerton, Ill, writes
that he is also going to be with US
again. Mr.. Allen showed the champion
Shropshire ram last year and he will
be out with strong class again this
year.
.The Messrs. Harding will also ex-
hibit. They have been in the old world
this year and have brought out some
good ones.
From our own state we are ex-
2pecting Messrs. Boyton and Welsh, and
Mr.. Lees, of Minneapolis.
"His Lordship, the Hog"
I'm the hog department the pros
~pects are just as hattering. No new
buildings have been erected. but the
old ones will be thoroughly cleaned
and disinfected, and every arrange
ment for the convenience of the ex-
hibitors will be provided for.

HE MAY COMPROMISE.
Exsherif Phillips May Settle Includes Houses and
z.. County's Claim. Vicinity
SAID TO BE AFTER OFFICE LOCAL MEN ARE NOT AFFECTED
And in Order to Push Campaign
Wants Suit for Excess Fees
Out of Way.

Former Sheriff Alonzo Phillips would
compromise the suit brought against him
by Hennepin county to recover excessive
or Illegal fees collected by him while
sheriff. A settlement may be reached, but
the outlook is not promising
Mr.. Phillips Is charged with having col
lected over $4,000 more than he had au-
thority to collect. Taking advantage OF a
recent law, the county commissioners
brought suit against the sheriff and his
sureties to recover three times the amount
Of the overcharge, or about $25,0
OF course, 1T is not the intention of Mr..
Phillips to settle on any such basis as
the amount named in the suit. He does
not think the county ought to demand a
cent from him, for he contends that he
always acted wholly within the law and
that all the fees collected by him were
honestly his, legally and morally. There
is where County Attorney Boardman
takes issue with him. Whether any COM
promise will be made will depend largely
on the liberality displayed by Mr.. Phil
lips. Negotiations are pending.
There is a most interesting explanation
Of Mr.. Phillips anxiety to effect a settle
ment. He is said still to have political
aspirations. He would be mayor of Min
neapolis to succeed DR.. ATnes, so they say,
but realizes that the suit brought against
him by Hennepin county would prove a
serious handicap If not an insurnountable
barrier even to his nomination by the
democrats. He wants the suit out of the
way, but how deep seated is his desire
expressed in dollars and cents-is not yet
known. -F ..- ".

tarded. -. r.
Early wheat is sprouting some and the crop
was further injured by the. unfavorabia

lodged badly in southeastern counties, and
the harvest is Just commencing. Potatoes are
rotting- slightly. Corn has grown we'll the

has left the city. There is an indictment
hanging over him. There is no hint as
to his whereabouts or Intentions. Is he,
then, fugitive from justice in the mean
ing of the law and, therefore, fit subject
for extradition?
This question is being argued among
the attorneys with considerable interest
and 1t has more significance every day
Colonel Ames prolongs his stay. ( 1t is
admitted that he may have left the city
for the purpose stated-to get much
needed rest after his trial-and with no
actual knowledge that there was another
indictment against him. But it is held
that there can be no doubt that long be-
fore now Colonel Ames must have become
acquainted with the actual situation. If
in possession of the information, whether
official or not, that he has been indicted,
and he yet remains away,@he is legally a

The United States supreme court lays
down the following rule:
To be a fugitive from justice, it is not

The state supreme court in 1887, In the
case of Harriet Burner VS.. Fred Richter,
the late Judge Mitchell, writing the opin-

Maidens and matrdns who wear their
white shirt waists, or light colored waists
of any type are preparing to make an at
tack on the friendly almost caressing
methods used by some street railway con-
ductors, notably the interurban lines,
in assisting women on or. off, car steps.
They propose to find out if the conductors
are in league with athe laundrymen and
the French dry cleaners, or whether they
just need a simple suggestion to lead
them to quit the arm m-squeeze which they
give women passengers - -. -
Two years ago an attack was made on
the conductor who was too tender in his
solicttudes for the safety Of women pas
sengers.! That movement succeeded" The
fight will now be made because in warm,
perspiring weather, they leave sthe mark
of hand every time the passenger boards
or leaves a car. This makes four hands
for round trip. One woman expressed
it thus yesterday: y
''The conductors, feel, suppose, that
they must help us cranky women to board
the car. One of them left the mark OF
his claw on my back and 1 didn't know 1t

A GROCERY COMBINE
First vice President Operates 9
Small House at Albert
Lea.

A big combination of wholesale -grocers.
organized substantially along the lines
advocated by James B. Forgan for the
consolidation Of country banks, has been
formed In Chicago with $5,000,00O capital.
While 1t is said to be the purpose OF the
new combination to get control OF only
the largest houses in the country and
those directly tributary to Chicago, it is
understood that eventually it will make
a fight to invade the twin city territory,
either through the purchase of one or
more OF the existing wholesale concerns
or by the starting of a new house. Har-
low N. Higginbotham is president of the
new corporation, which will be known as
the National Grocer company. Frank G..
Let's, the first vice president, is presi-
dent of the Western Grocer company,
which controls or operates nine wholesale
houses in Iowa, Missouri, Kansas and
Minnesota. The Minnesota house is a
comparatively small concern located at
Albert Lea and the company has never
cut into the business of the twin city
houses to any appreciable extent. Let's
was in Minneapolis about year ago and
made some overtures to one or more local
wholesale firms to sell out OF come into
the combine, but got no satisfaction
The local wholesale men say the new
organization has apparently no local sig
nificance.. They do not believe it intends,
at least for the present, to operate out
side of Chicago territory, and should it
decide eventually to enter the northwest
ern field it is welcome to do so. They
have no fear of the3resuNs -,
The new company will buy direct from
the importers, manufacturers and sugar
refineries, and will also make direct i'm
portations through the Chicago office.
The company will either lease or erect
large supply house and a cold storage
plant in Chicago. The plans also in
clude the building and operating of a
large manufacturing house. Other Off
