STATE FAIR RECORDS.

During the past five years Minnesota
of state fair records, and 1902 will fol-
low the example of it's predecessors. In
1900 Minnesota rose to first place in
the state fair exhibits of the country,
not only in number and class of ex-
hibits, but in attendance and volume
of receipts. We then passed Spring
field the state fair center of Illinois,
and Columbus, Ohio's, great industrial
competitor, and Toronto. Can, which
up to that time were the leaders in
agricultural exhibitions. In 1901 we
increased our lead, and in 1902 we are
certain to widen the breach.
Minnesota's rate of progress during
the past five years is shown by the
following financial results:
Ticket sales have steadily increased
from $S0,6S4 in 1897, to $36,951 in 1898,
$4,000 in 1899, $65,553 in 1900, and
So, 072 in 1901-an average increase
of 25 to so per cent per annum and
an aggregate growth of 1876 per cent in
four years.
Total receipts from. all sources ran
ahead at the following gait: $4S,5S0 in
1897, $57,611 in 1898, -SSS,711 in 1899,
$9o,524 in 1900, and $11S,SS5 in 1901
the receipts of last year being $4,000
more than double those of four years
before.
IF eyood waa thor y,arno;+e Ali. ,,,oo1-
will smash last years record by more
than the usual high margin. Exhibit
ors have heavily multiplied in every
department. In live stock every de-
partment is overwhelmed for space,
with fully % per cent Increase in num-
Der Of exhibits. In machinery the in
crease is fully so per cent. In the art
and industrial exhibit Of the main
building, with its new annexes, there
is 100 per cent increase over last year;
and in the sale of privileges, which is
a good index OF popular expectation,
there is 100 per cent increase. Yes
terday's record breaking attendance,
ushered in by the labor unions and the
good roads movement, speaks well as
q good omen and is an earnest of
what the week will accomplish.
A single point illustrates the magni-
tude of Minnesota's state fair as now
developed-only the Chicago worlds

ART OF ROAD BUILDING.

Certainly not one of the least Of the
educational features of the state fair
this week is the International Good
Roads congress, and its object lesson
in the construction Of 1000 feet of
stone road through the grounds.
In addition to the addresses and dis
cussions of the five sessions of the
good roads congress. in which the
science and economic value of good
roads will be entertainingly demon
strated on paper by the leading au-
thorities Of the country, the managers
of the movement will set crew Of
fifteen trained roadmakers and thirty
common laborers to the job of con-
structing scientific stone road from
Minnesota material. so that the coun-
ty and township officials who have
charge of the country roadmaking Of
Minnesota can see with their own eyes
how efficient roadmahing is done and
done right.
The government experts win take
Minnesota road material-Ramsey and
Hennepin county limestone and gravel.
st. Cloud granite, Pine county sand
stone, Duluth and Carlton county trap
rock, and the various other cheap and
abundant roadmaking materials with
which Minnesota is overfowing-and
with the roadmaking machinery car
ried on the good roads train, they will
construct a sixteen-foot highway,
composed of nine inches Of broken
stone rolled down into a six-inch road
bed.
Twenty-Five years of railroad prog
ress in the Northwest have cut down
the cost of transporting farm produce
by rail from about cents per ton per
mile to about three-fourths of cent
per ton per mile. This transporta-
ton reform has been the development
of the Northwest, industrially and
commercially, in population and in
arts, and farms and mills and in towns
and cities.
But if this weeks good roads object
lesson can teach the farming commu-
mites how to construct a farm road

COINS MONEY FOR OTHERS
IN ADDITION TO HIS OWN
Uncle Sam Makes the Currency for
Central and South America.

Whether or not President Castro, of
Venezuela, is compelled to seek safety
in flight from that country, the coinage
of silver money for the existing gov
eminent will in no way be affected at
the United States mint in Philadelphia.
1t has been reported that "a large
shipment of this character has been
ordered returned because of the strife
for power, but Assistant Conner Robert
Clark states that there was no truth
in it. In fact" he said, 1--WE have no
direct dealing with these governments.
Some time ago q firm of New York
bankers and brokers, acting for Vene-
zuela. ordered 100000 five bolivar
pieces and 100000 two bolivar pieces.
'The first mentioned amount is equal
to 100000 in our money and the Sec
ond to $92.777.S0 in United States sub
sidiary coins. The five bolivar piece
is equal in weight and value to two
Of our half dollars, and the two bolivar
piece is about the size of our half dol
lar. Recently Cashier Murphy shipped
10000 of the fives and 125,000 of the
twos to the parties In New York
through whom the order came. They
in turn will send them to Venezuela.
We have in addition another order for
$4,000 f1ves and 10000 twos. We were
paid for the work before the coins left
in the silver and as soon as the check
in payment for the coinage Is received
we go ahead and make the delivery as
quickly as possible. There Is no in
stance Of money made here for other
countries being returned on the ground
that 1t was faulty.
There has not been q great deal of
this work for outsiders lately. A cou-
pie Of days ago, however, we got an
order for 100000 fifty centayos for the
government of Colombia. These pieces
are equal to our half dollar. We fin
ished the first portion of the Venezuela
money in few days and will try to fill
the other contract before the end of
the present month. AT present we are
engaged upon 100000 of our own
standard dollars and are running right
along on the subsidiary coins, five
cent pieces, tens and twenty-fives.

MONT PELEE AGAIN AT WORK.

Following close after the recent vol
canic eruptions through the Central
American isthmus, on the west side of
island group which forms the eastern
boundary Of that tropic sea again be-
comes active, and the island of Mar
Unique is in danger of disappearance
from the map.
Reports from three neighboring ISL
ands, at distances of 25 to 100 miles,
state that volcanic dust and ashes
from the direction of Martinique have
| filed the air and clouded the sky dur
ing the past three days. and that
Martinique itself is enveloped in a
cone shaped cloud from which there
is no sign except electric flashes and
heavy detonations. Ships several miles
away found midnight darkness at mid
| day.
AS Geographic connections with the
Inflated island are now severed there
has happened. Scientists have init
mated that the island itself, which is
merely volcanic cone projecting up
from the greatest ocean depth, may be
completely destroyed before the pres
ent period of disturbance is passed
Fortunately, the islands population
has largely inmigrated to neighboring
islands, where 1t is to be hoped there
will not be similar revolutions.
The Lesser Antilles are chain of
volcanic cones arising from extreme
ocean depths on the eastern border Of
the Caribbean, just as the Cordilleras
which connect North and South Amer
lea are a chain of volcanic cones sep
arating the Caribbean from the Pa
cific. This is the most volcanic region
of the earth. Even while the Nicara-
qua canal surveyors were mapping
Lake Nicaragua and the proposed
canal route, the volcano Omotepe
opened operations on the island in the
midst of that lake within ten miles OF
the entrance Of the proposed canal.
Within the last ninety days the VOL
canic operations through Central
America, although not as bad as those
in the Antilles from the standpoint Of
loss of life, have been quite as inter-
esting from a scientific standpoint and
are receiving the earnest attention OF
the United States government in con-
nection with the proposed construction
of a government canal through the
isthmus region.

line of march and additional thou

tiles.
Labor is now an organized giant,
powerful in the assertion of it's rights
and in the avenging Of it's wrongs.
Phenomenal development has marked
the progress OF the idea of organiza-
ton of worlingmen during the last
two years. The end of organization is
not yet.
The right of labor to organize for Its
own purposes has become fully estab-
lished. The purpose of such organiza-
ton is the Improvement Of the condi-
ton of the workers so organized. La
Dor is not organized for plumber or ex-
tortion, but to secure for laborers a
proportionate share of the prosperity
of the country, and to insure to men
reasonable assurance of permanent
employment so long as their work is
done in a skillful manner and the per-
sonal conduct of the worker is hon.
orable.
The struggle for existence is severe.
The harsh, cruel, wicked law Of the
survival of the strongest prevails.
Workers are only strong as they are
organized, as they become more intel
ligent, as they remain temperate and
industrious. All these aims are pro-
NOTED by the various organizations
among laborers. Yesterday was their
time to make a showing Of strength
and to call attention by parade and
picnic to their organization. That this
purpose was effectively shown by the
demonstration in st. Paul cannot be
doubted.

Declare Kissing Promotes Disease

Lincoln, Neb., Oct. "A. The habit
of unfortunately kissing, or any kiss
ing at all, is to be tabooed by the doctors
who compose the Missouri Valley
