The third day of the convention was
q busy andinterestingone. The chief
event of interest was the action over
the proposed Dakota and Wisconsin
grain inspection. The resolution com
mittee presented a strong Endorsement
Of the plan, but there was objection to
the proposition for the appointment Of
a committee to visit Wisconsin, and
the matter was referred back. Later
1t was brought up and adopted with
out the junketing features.
The discussions were interesting and
somewhat surprising, as the plan was
rather strenuously opposed by some
farmers who were supposedly for the
scheme, and strongly sanctioned by G.
s. Barnes, 4 well-known grain commits
sion man. Mr.. Crumpton Of the Supe-
rior board Of trade outlined the prop
osition and won over some of the op-
position. There were evidences that
friends Of the Minnesota inspection
had been active. The more c~onserva-
tive grain growers are immensely
pleased with the action Of the North
Dakota legislature on the new inspec-
ton and did not wish to do more than
lend the Endorsement OF this owen
ton to the movement.
The committee on the proposed
transfer Of the North Dakota state
fair from Mardan to Fargo made an
enthusiastic report favoring the plan.
Liberal appropriations were urged by
the legislature, to be made available
when the citizens Of Fargo would raise
a $4,000 fund for the purchase Of a
proper location.
President J. Johnson Of Fargo, Vice
President Hoverstad Of Crookston and
Secretary Worst of Fargo were hon
ored by unanimous reelection.
The special committee appointed 70
investigate the needs Of the expert
ment station mad an extended report,
praising most things with the excep.
ton Of the grades OF cattle there,
which were not though to be up to the
standard, and the lack Of room for
the accommodation Of the numerous
students was deplored. The legisla.
ture was asked to be more liberal in
appropriations and the governor was
requested to make the most Of his ap-
pointments on the board Of trustees
actual farmers. The general resolu-
tons recommended a more liberal ap-
preparation for farmers Institutes to
be held over the state, placing the sum
at $1,000.
There were a large number Of inter.
esting papers read before the conven-
ton and new features were introduced
in an exchange which was established
for the benefit of many farmers who
wished to exchange grain, seeds Of va
rious kinds, and stock.
The concluding session was as inter.
esting and well attended as I'M of the
convention.
Among the incidents Of the morning
session was the adoption of a resolu-
tion indorsing the bill Of Representa-
tive Leech of Fargo to make a state
appropriation for the North Dakota
poultry show. Mrs. Bertha Laws Of
Appleton, Mimi, spoke in the morning
and was followed by Prof. Bolley of
the agricultural college, Farmer James
Holes OF Fargo and M. F. Greeley of
Aberdeen.
1t is probable that the next annual
convention will be held in Fargo.

Contest-Reliance Turend Outer
Mark First by Several minutes.
New York, August 27-It was dark
and lowering this morning when the
two big yachts crews appeared on
deck to prepare for the third contest.
The sky was overcast and at o'clock
light showers of rain were falling in
many places within a radius Of 80
miles of Sandy Hook. The south.
east breeze which blew finely all day
yesterday, had blown itself out by
dawn this morning and although there
were faint breaths of air from that di-
rection, there were many calm spots
over the ocean.
Yesterdays southeastern had left
something of a ground swell, and the
surf along shore was fairly heavy,
but not so strong as that which pre-.
vailed a week ago on the first day,
in which the yachts endeavored to
race.
Despite the discouraging conditions
when the committee arrived at the
starting line it was decided to make
an attempt at a race and the course
sfgnalled was southeast for wind.

WOMAN USES GUN.
Mrs. Moore 5raweIy Fires Upon Black
Intruder.

Hogansville, Ca, August 27.-At this
place an unknown negro walked UP on
the back steps of George Moore's
house about l mile east Of Franklin
and asked Mrs. Moore, who was get.
ting her baby to sleep on the bed,
for something to eat
She told him she had nothing cook
ed. He then asked If she had any
money and she said no. He then
said he had to have something to eat
and stepped up into the door.
He turned his head to look back, and
as he looked out Mrs. Moore seized
shotgun which stood near the. bed
and pointed it at him, but he threw
up his left hand and knocked the gun
off just as she fired.
She then took her baby and ran to a
neighbor's house about quarter of a
mile off. She looked back once and
saw the negro standing in the door.
Posses have secured the country
looking for the negro, but he is still
at large.
Mrs. Moore did not know the negro.

Old VesuVius Again Active-Remarka
BILE SpectacFe.
Naples, August 27.-The people of
Naples and the errvirons witnessed
q remarkable spectacle at noon We'd
nesday.
One thousand feet below the central
cone of Vesuvius, the volcano opened
like a huge. mouth, out of which belch-
ed a fierce stream Of lava, which ram
down the side of the mountain and at
first seemed to menace the observa-
tory. This building, however, is pro-
by a mound Of lava 200 feet high,
which was thrown out during the erup-
ton Of 1895 and 1900.
The eruption occurred without any
warning whatever There was no
earthquake, detonation or rain of ash
es, nothing but clear stream of lava
and red-hot stones, which were thrown
to height of TOO feet, producing an
extremely beautiful effect seen from
Naples. The stream of lava, which
40 10 A0CC oAO1u' at IL " C1OCh lOuASut
had covered a distance of 2,700 feet.
II deviated later from the direction o;
the observatory, which is no longer
menaced. The only danger is for tth9
the electric tramway UP the volcano,
which, however, has thus far not been
touched The eruption already seems
to be decreasing and 1t is supposed
that no damage will result from it.
The spectators far enough away mot
to be frightened, stood ertranced at
the spectacle, but those nearer to the
volcano were seized by a panic when
the eruption began.

GEORGIA OIL MILLS MERGE.
Trust Formed Representing Twenty
Two Mills


Macon, Ca, August 27.-The inde
pendent cotton seed oil mill owners
of Georgia convened here and before
an adjournment had been accomplished
another combine was launched upon
the commercial seas of the south.
For some time there has been quite
an extensive correspondence among
the cotton seed oil mill owners scat
tered throughout Georgia, the object
of that correspondence being a con-
vention of those engaged in the trade,
Finally day and place for meet
ing were selected and in accordance
with that selection the independent
operators came together here.
Twenty-seven towns, representing
every section of Georgia, were here.
Atlanta, cambridge, Quitman, Albany.
Fort Gaines, Camilla, Montezuma, Au.
gusta, Columbus, Macon, Forsyth, Cor.
dele, Vienna, Arlington and Savannah
were among the cities who answered
to the roll call.
The session was behind closed
doors and the greatest caution was ex.
ercised to prevent the object of the
meeting from becoming known. 1t
has developed, however, that during
the session the current prices and
mode of business of the mill owners
present were fully and wholly aired
1t has been ascertained, too, that
before an adjournment was reached
q schedule of prices by which every
mill represented at the meeting will
be governed in the future. To this
scale of prices it is said every one
present subscribed, and after the own.
ers return home the scale will be put
into operation at once.
This will kill cheap purchases by
competition as in the past, wholly
from this on. The scale is to apply
to cotton seed oil, cotton seed meal,
and in fact, to every article bought or
sold by cotton seed oil mills.
