Washed His Money!.

A. A. Appleby, put $40 under his
pillow in Minneapolis hotel. The
next morning the Butte man over
slept his call, rose in a hurry, and af-
ter dressing, rushed down stairs with
no thought of the money. It was
afternoon when he discovered his
loss, and he at once told George
Wertz, day clerk at the Vendome.
Mr.. Wertz instituted a search for the
money, but it was nowhere to be
found.
Late the next afternoon, a tele-
phone message came from the Dis
patch laundry, to the effect that a
package of what might once have
been $40 and So bills had been found
in a bundle of linen from the hotel
The money had passed clear through
the laundry, until it came to the iron
ing machine, when it was discovered
by the boy in charge. Every YES
tige of color had been washed from
the bills, only the figures of the num-
Der and denomination remaining.
The linen had been handled at least
three times in the hotel, and six or
eight times in the laundry, without
disclosing it's hidden treasure. The
Butte man believes he is lucky man,
after all.

The New CAPITOL,

An addition of three months to the
working time on t be new capitol was
made in an opinion from the attor-
ney general, allowing the state capt.
toll commission to reconsider the bids
for the woodwork received last De-
cember. When the bids were received
last December the lowest was made
by the Butler-Ryan company. The
firms bid of $111,7O3 was in excess of
the estimate and was rejected by the
commission.
The additional appropriation of
$1,500,000 made it possible to take
up the work again. The commission
ers thought they should advertise for
new bids for the work, which would
set the work back at least three
months. The opinion received stated
that the commission may accept the
old bid.
The price of material has increased
at least 10 per cent since the bids were
received, but the Butler-Ryan COM
pany accepted the contract and will
begin work on the interior at once.
The interior stone and marble work,
for which bids were received last De-
cember, was awarded to the Butler.
Ryan company for $7S2,O00.

The First Fair,

There is a common belief among
the old settlers of Minnesota that COL
w. S. King, who died two years ago
, in Minneapolis, started the first fair
ever held in Minnesota. This is a
mistake, although there is probably
no man who has been more closely
identified with the great fairs held
in this state during the past fifty
years.
The first fair, of which there is
any record, since Minnesota became
settled was held at Minneapolis, Oct.
6, 1854, by the Hennepin County Agri-
cultural society. It was but a print
tive affair only occupying one block of
ground. Minneapolis was but a vii
lage then and st. Paul helped out as
it was intended to hold the fair for
the purpose of showing off to Eastern
visitors the adaptibility of Minnesota
soil for raising food stuffs. About
$500 in prizes was offered and paid,
Notwithstanding the fact that money
was almost curiosity at that time.

100000 COWS in Minnesota of which
number 49,, 1856 contribute milk to the

their output is 20 per cent larger
than in any previous period of the
states history. In 1900 the value of
creamery butter was less than $780,
