COUNTY EXHIBITS
SURPRISINGLY FINE
They Afford ComprehensiveIdea
of Agricultural Wealth of
Minnesota.

No better or more comprehensive
idea of the agricultural wealth of Min
nesota could be secured than by a
days visit to and conscientious study
of the exhibits made by the counties.
The county exhibits have for years
been one of the chief educational feat
ures of the Minnesota fair. The man
agement, by a liberal premium and
percentage division of a good purse
policy, induced farmers and agricul-
tural associations in the several coun-
ties to bring county exhibits to the
state fair, and the splendid results ac-
cruing therefrom bring each year one
or two new counties to the most inter-
esting department of the fair.
The county exhibits are for the most
part in charge of experts thoroughly
familiar with the resources of the
counties they represent and proficient
in methods of displaying the products
shown to the best advantage. Prob
ably no one thing has helped more to
secure permanent settlement of some
of the northern and western counties
than the county exhibit at the state
fair. They are carefully compiled ex-
positions of the productive POSSIBLE
ties of the communities they represent,
and not infrequently furnish informa-
ticn to residents of the counties rep
resented, who do not realize the agri-
cultural and horticultural wealth of
their own counties until they see the
products exhibited at the fair.
Z. Great Growth of County Exhibits.
y The county exhibit section has grown
In few years from an insignificant
and amateurish display made by three
or four farmers, representing as many
counties, to one of the largest depart
ments of the biggest fair on the CONT
nent. This years exhibit establishes,
beyond question. the need for new
quarters. If the same ratio of growth
is maintained in the agricultural de-
partment that has been shown for five
years. new horticultural building will
be an absolute necessity next year.
The horticultural exhibits now oc-
cupy the north bay of the big agricul-
tural building opened two years ago.
iAt that time it was believed that the
building would be ample for the ac-
.commodation Of both horticultural
and agricultural exhibits for at
least ten years. This year the
agricultural exhibits have outgrown
the space allotted to them.

and Supt. N. S. Gordon says, unless he
is given the whole building next year,
he will be compelled to turn away some
exhibitors.
A noticeable feature of the county
ment in the methods of display. The
veteran exhibitors show as much i'm
provement over their old methods this
year as they did last year over the dis
plays of former years. The new ex-
hibitors have been quick to grasp the
ideas made prominent by the older
competitors, and there is not in the
building an exhibit which does not
fully display all the products.

godas, conventional designs, ETC., have

Stevens countydis~ again represented
by D. T. Wheaton, the Oldest OF the
county exhibitors, who is now making
his twelfth annual show at the mime
sofa fair. AS IN former years, the
splendid grains and grass products OF
Stevens county, are given .hrst place.
A fine show of vegetables and fruits
completes the exhibit, The most no
ticeable improvements in the stevens
county exhibit is-sin 1.-THE fruits Wn1cn
are shown in greater profus1on ana
better quality than eyer before.
The Blue Earth county exhibit,
which captured first money two years
ago, is in charge of William j. NC
Duffee and T. F. Just. Grains and
grasses, as in former years, hold the
center of the stage, but the show OF
vegetables is generally good, and es-
peeially good in the matter of pota-
toes. ~
w. L. Parker and o. C. Thompson, in
charge of the Dakota county exhibit,
present a magnificent showing of
fruits. The fruit display is by far the
best and easily the most comprehen
sive ever made by Dakota county. The

are excellent, and it is generally con-

exposition, is presenting his eighth ex-
hibit for Aitkin county. The place Of

rieties of wild grasses. The tame
grasses come next and are shown in

is above the average and the fruit ex-
hibit much better than that made last

Citizens Day at the Fair Brings Crowd
Despite 100 Degrees Of Heat
WINNIPEG, MAN.-It was Citizens
day at the exhibition yesterday, and
after the midday meal the city seemed
to empty itself onto the exhibition
grounds and take full advantage Of the
half holiday. The street car line north OF
the city, on which all the other lines con-
verged. was taxed to it's full capacity and
the cars were crowded.
Inside the grounds 1t was just the same,
a tremendous crush everywhere, painting,
pushing, perspiring. perp1exed people ev-
erywhere, very good humored and pre-
pared to work harder at their play than
at their ordinary avocations. Some $4,000
people passed tine turnstles, exclusive Of
passes. 1t was hot day, boiling, blister
ing, baking hot. The glass stood at 100
degrees in the shade, at the highest, in the
cool shades Of the city's tall buildings.
At noon it was so hot that it would have
been possible to fry an egg on the pave
ment of Main street. The horses were
painting and some Of them wore sun bon
nets. The fountains were tepid and a
blue, humid haze arose from the vicinity
Of the public pumps which still ornament
the north end of the city. The rotten
boards fizzled and steamed in the sun.
Even at o'cick yesterday afternoon 1t
was 95 in the shade. and there were nu-
merous cases of fainting and sunstroke.

SOUTH DAKOTA
DIAMONDS, WATCHES, ETC.
Strange Dearth Of Such Things Among
the People Of the Black Hills.

Strange Dearth Of Such Things Among
the People Of the Black Hills.
DEADWOOD, s. D.-The figures Of the
county assessors, which have just been
reviewed by the county commissioners
acting as a board of equalization, reveal
strange conditions in Lawrence county.
According to the returns Spearfsh is the
only town In the county where there are
any diamonds, watches and jewelry, and
there are only $115 worth at that place.
If the figures are to be believed there is
not a watch, diamond or piece Of jewelry
in either Deadwood or Lead outside of the
hands of dealers. OF bank stock there Is
1921 shares, which is assessed at 60
per cent Of its value. Moneys and credits
are assessed at $17s,2o0, all but $500 Of
which is mortgages. The only man in
the county who has any money is Norman
T. Mason Of Deadwood, who gave in $500.
There are 3,1s7 horses of all ages, val
ued at $39,112; 1000 cattle Of all ages,
valued at $136,342; 20 sheep, $S7; 524 hogs,
$3.50; 1,145 wagons, $26,671; $50 pianos,
$27,729; 11S melodians and organs, $2,662.
A horizontal raise of 80 per cent has
been made in the valuation this year over
last. This was pursuant to an order from
the commissioners to the assessors, and
the order was carried out with one OK
ception, and that was in the case Of the
city assessor at Lead, who: returned a
valuation of 81, 400, 900 in round numbers.
The commissioners promptly applied the
raise, bringing the city's valuation up to
little more than s2,1OO,0O0. e:f
There has been some muttering on the
part of the people, and a committee OF
citizens from Lead, headed by the mayor
and city attorney, appeared before the
commissioners to demonstrate against the
raise. No action was taken on their
petition and the raise still stands. The
only exception was made in the case OF
cattle outside of the cities, on which q
reduction Of 20 per cent was made. .
The commissioners have agreed that
when the levy is made next September
! the tax burden will not be increa sed ma
| terially in the county, and aside from g
| slight increase in the state tax, the grand
total will be practically the same as last
year with the exception Of local levies fol
cities and schools. The board of equal
ization has made several reductions il

1t was shown that the assessments wer,

QUESTION OF PATRONAGE
VIII the Question OF Judge Shiras' sue
cessor Come Down to That?

VIII the Question OF Judge Shiras' Sue
cessor Come Down to That?
DUBUQUE, Iowa.. c. Longuevilles
campaign mana gers in this city are losing
heart owing to the fact that petition
which Is being circulated among the mem
bers OF the Dubuque Bar association IN
support of his candidacy so far bears the
signature of only about one-half OF the
lawyers. Twenty of the most prominent
LAWYERS of the city have refused to sign
the petion, among them being Judge Mat
thews, Colonel Lyon and J. j. Mccarthy.
The latter Is espousing the candidacy OF
Senator Hea1ey Of Fort Dodge and is
doing his mightiest to popularize the latter
among the members Of the Dubuque Bar
association. Mr.. Longueville, however,
states that even tho he does not receive
the unanimous Endorsement Of the Du-
budue Bar association he Is confident That
he will be appointed to succeed Oliver +.
Shiras on the federal bench. Attorney
Mccarthy is blamed for causing the de-
lection in the ranks of Dubuque attorneys
and is openly accused of working for the
interests Of Senator Healey for reasons
other than his super eminent qualif1ca-
tions to succeed to the federal judgesh1p.
There has been much talk about Du-
buque having more than its share of gov
eminent patronage at the present time and
for this reason that a Dubuque man should
not be appointed to succeed Sh1ras.
.Longueville's friends point to the fact that
most of the state patronage goes to the
small towns in the interior Of Iowa, as Is
apparent by perusal Of the republican state
ticket every two years. and not one Du-
buque man has held state office in years.
Fort Dodge at the present time enjoys as
much or more federal patronage than Du-
buque having the director of the mint,
solicitor of the treasury, United States
senator and numerous smaller offices.
Since the retirement Of Speaker LENDERS on
the only federal offices held by Dubuque
men are United States senator and fed
eral judge.

MEAT TRUST VS.. BUTCHERS
The Question Naturally Arises, Where D
the Consumers Come In?

The Question Naturally Arises, Where Do
the Consumers Come In?
s SUPERIOR, WIS. Superior butchers,
who have we'll organized union, have
decided not to stand for the action Of
the meat trust. The order that no meat
deliveries be made went into effect this
week, and already the union Is using
pressure to compel the trust to resume
deliveries. What gals especially is the
fact that deliveries are made in Duluth
as before, the reason assigned being that
Duluth is now the only shipping point.
that feature of the business being taken
from Superior In order to make possible
the laying off Of the rigs.
Superior ministers are beginning to
raise their voices against Sunday desc
crations. The immediate cause Is the
scheduling of a show for the opera house
next Sunday night The company Is
showing in Duluth, but that city frowns
upon such things on Sunday, so the date
has been made here. The same Is true
of Sunday ball games and la crosse
matches. The preachers have begun to
agitate the matter, the objection being
made especially strong on account Of the
fact that the city Is being made dump
ing ground for Duluth in this respect. 1t
would not be surprising to see an effort
to cut out Sunday ball here, as we'll as
shows, now that the agitation Is started.
1t would be sad blow to the Northern
league management.
Superior has another missing mother.
Mrs. Barney Sweeney cannot be found.
A few weeks ago she and her husband
had trouble and he took their child to
the old home in Kenyon, MINI. The wife
applied for a warrant on the charge OF
kidnapping, but when this was refused
she went to Kenyon herself. Word has
been received by her friends that she and
the child took the train for Superior sew
eral days ago. She has not appeared
here and none of her effects have been
taken away. The husband has not been
seen since the wife left Kenyon so fa1
as is known. -.....

NEW ULM, MINN.-New interest has
developed In the case of G., Aryeson
against Charles Fletcher, from the fact
that Fletcher has closed his shop at San
BORN and departed to parts unknown
leaving, besides the money he Is alleged to
nave taken from Mr.. Arveson in Sleepy
Eye, debts in ,Sanborn to the amount of
$500. The story of the case is to the effect
that while Fletcher was in the employ of
Arveson he was short in his accounts in
the neighborhood of $1,000, which he is
said to have secured at will while Mr.
Arveson was unable to look after his BUSH
ness. Not knowing this, Mr.. Arveson adj
vanced him money to start In the iewelry
business at Sanborn, and he also secured
money from A. c. Won Hagen at Sleepy
Eye. About this time he married one of
the daughters of prominent family at
Alexandria, this state and all went will
until Mr.. Arveson began to go over his
books and found the deficiency He i'm
mediately began proceedings against
Fletcher and attached his stock with the
purpose of comm encing criminal proceed
ings later. In the meantime the people of
Sanborn, believing that Fletcher was being
prosecuted, helped him to stock up again
and have received nothing in return. Sat
urday night he nailed the door Of his shop
up and left before morning, and when the

home was in Minneapolis, and previous to
his coming to Sleepy Eye he was mem

NEW CYANIDE PLANT
It Is to Be Erected on the Buxton and
Big Bonanza Group.


TERRY, s. DEGRADING has been started
for the new cyanide plant to be erected
by Messrs. Lundberg, Dorr and Wilson,
on the Buxton and Big Bonanza group of
mining claims purchased by these gentle
men several months ago. The mill is be-
ing built on the Buxton ground along the
slope near the North Western track.
The plant has been designed by ]. v. N.
Dorr and A. D. Wilson, who took trip
south and southwest a few months ago
for the purpose of acquainting themselves
with various processes known to cyanide
practice. They paid particular attention
to the mills operating at De Lamar, Ne
vada, Liberton and Pelluride, CAL, and
have decided to adopt the Chilli mill for
crushing purposes. James Hartgering has
been given the contract to build the plant
The mill will embody several features
that are new to the Black Hills, the Chilli
mill being one, and electric power fur
nished by transmission from Lead, an
other. The new plant to be built at Terry
will be a wet crushing cyanide the ore to
be pulverized in a solution Of the chemical
by the Chill mill and afterwards submitted
to the ordinary teaching process.
Power for operating the mill is to be
supplied by the Belt Light and Power
company of Lead, from the large plant at
Puma. The Puma plant has, during the
last few months, undergone important i'm
provements, steam turbines Of high eff
ficiency having been installed. 1t will be
an inexpensive matter for the Light and
Power company to extend it's system 50 as
| to include within the circuit the new plant
contemplated near Terry.
Water for the new cyanide mill will be
pumped from an old incline and shaft on
the property. BY the economical handling
of this water these openings will furnish
all the mill will require. The plant will
have a capacity Of between sixty and sew
enty tons day.
| Messrs. Lundberg, Dorr and Wilson DUR
chased the Buxton Big Bonanza, Clarinda
and associated claims of H. w Seaman
Of Clinton Island. Mr.. Iundberg had
worked these properties under lease fol-
nearly ten years. He shipped large
amount of ore to various reduction plants
and little over year ago, he and Mr.
Dorr secured a lease on the Rossiter cyan
ide plant at Deadwood, which they have
been operating continuously since It was
taken and necessary repairs added The,

ton and the Big Bonanza mines at the
start but have lately been working or

At that time they expect to surrender thu
