of the state agricultural school: Will
liam Pitt Murray, Senator e. w. Du-
rant and Rev. S. G. Smith.
Dean Liggett, who introduced Sena-
tor Nelson, spoke briefly. It gave him
great pleasure, he said, to announce
the opening of Minnesota's forty first
state agricultural fair, which would
he felt sure, break all records in point
of attendance and general success. He
quoted figures, comparing the fairs of
previous years, in order to show how
steadily these fairs have grown in size
and in Importance. He stated that he
believed the total receipts this year
would amount to $175,000
Two Senators Speak
Senator Nelson spoke from manu-
script. His speech was practically
review of the territorial expansion of
this country, and In it he dwelt espe-
cially on the significance of the coun-
try's agricultural development. Fol-
lowing Senator Nelson, Senator Clapp
spoke. He reminded the audience that
filled the tent and crowded about the
doors that he was to speak twice dur
ing state fair week, once before the
G. A. r. and again before the terri
torial pioneers on territorial pioneers
day. He would not, therefore, he said,
tax their patience with long speech.
He stated that the prosperity of the
state fair was an excellent evidence of
the prosperity Of the state. The back
bone of Minnesota was her farmers,
and when they were able, year after
year, with ever-continuing success, to
send exhibits like those which were the
glory OF the Minnesota fair, it was an
excellent sign that the backbone was
growing stronger and frmer each year.
He congratulated the officers Of the
fair on the success that attended their
efforts. -zzssssEzs

A ".first-class metropolitan fire en-
gine company is that headed by Capt.
James Ferguson as the contribution of
st. Paul towards f1re~fighting at the
fair grounds.
The company is established at the
old engine house. which is scarcely

are promised for next year.
Aside from the house, no fault could
be found. Swinging harness and drop

SALTWATER

Theodore R. Converse receiver of the
Minnesota ThreSher Manufacturing COM
pany, has brought an action in the dis
trict court of Washington county to re-
cover IS per cent of the value of stock
in the ThreSher company owned by John
G. Nelson and Alex Johnson. eopartners
as Nelson &c Johnson, who had 200 shares
of stock in the defunct concern, valued
at $50 a share. The action is brought to
test the question of whether or not stock
holders are liable for double the amount
of their stock and to satisfy a judgment
held against the Thresher company by the
Merchants National Bank of ST Paul. If
the court holds that the stockholders are
liable for double the amount of their
stock other suits will be brought against
the stockholders. inasmuch as there are
claims owed by the Thresher company.
amounting to more than 100000 and all
of the claimants are entitled to particI-
pate. Suits of similar character have
been brought against Edward Hersey and

DAIRY DISPLAY
EcL|PSES RECORD
Marks Scored by Butter at
State Fair Equal Those at
St. Louis

In the dairy department the quality
of exhibits is exceptionally fine. This
fact is demonstrated by the result of
the butter scoring yesterday. The
highest score-9Sk per cent-was ex-
actly as high as the best record made
SO far this year during the monthly
scorings at ST. Louis. Moreover, only
three records of 9815 were secured
from all the state exhibits at the
worlds fair, while at Hamline yester-
day two such records were made by
Minnesota butter. Yet the basis of the
state fair scoring is considered more
exacting than that established at the.
worlds fair. The five highest. butter
scores yesterday were:
Alfred Schroeder. Lafayette .98A
A. Kuhnan, Green Island. ............9 .9S7a
L. S. Taylor GlenVile .............,98
]. G. Joslin, Winsted ................98
N. Y. EnglebretSen, Mansfield. .9S
Many More Exhibits
A gratifying increase was observ-
able in the number of butter exhibits,
The judges yesterday tested 3S1 tubs,
or SO more than those inspected last
year. Thus the size of the Hamline
butter display surpasses that of the
st. Louis display this year, and is
larger than any exhibit of the kind
since the national show was held in
Milwaukee six years ago.
The judges were P. H. Kiefer, as
SiStant commissioner of the Iowa dairy
and food department, and H. T. Son
dergaard, assistant superintendent of
the Minnesota dairy and food depart
ment. Today the cheese will be judged
by H. Broman, of the state dairy and
food commission.
The model creamery is also some-
thing new at dairy hall this year. Sew
eraI concerns have co-operated to pro-
vide machinery and employees, so that
an up-tO-date creamery may be pre-
sented in full operation. Buttermilk
is sold in large quantities.
Busts Made of Butter
Not the least attractive objects in
the same hall are the remarkable ex-
amples of butter sculpture Three life
size and life-like busts are seen be-
hind the glass doors of refrigerator
showcase. The busts, all in appetiZing
butter, represent, respectively, Secre-
tary E. w. Randall, of the State Agri-
cultural society; State Dairy and Food
Commissioner w. w. P. Mcconnell and
Prof. T. L. Hacker, head of the dairy
husbandry department at the state eX-
pertinent station. The sculptor was
John Daniels, of st. Paul.
Still another specimen of the same
art is the spirited group, ''The Contrary
Cow" by A. G. Van Sloan, of st. Paul
Though by no means life-size, this
group of butter figures is sufficiently
large to set off the skill of the designer.
The COW evidently declines to "lead,''
despite the utmost efforts of several
farmers and a dog.

Byan's Word with Democrats.

In the latest issue Of the COmmouer,
Mr.. Bryan says:
Every man is responsible for his in
.iuence. be It small or great Every
Democrat who votes for Parker votes
to defeat Roosevelt. Every Democrat
who does not vote for Parker con-
tributes toward the election OF Roose-
welt. On every question upon which
Judge Parker's position is open to
criticism, President ROoseVelt's posi-
lion is worse; where they differ, as
they do on many important questions,
Parker is right aud Roosevelt is wrong.
Roosevelt favors a high tariff; Park
er favors tariff reform. Roosevelt
tavors a standing army Of $4,000 at the
the minimum: Parker iavora a reduc-
lion OF the army.
Roosevelt has brought the race issue
into national politics; Parker would
remove the race Issus from politics.
Roosevelt stands for a colonial policy
Parker iavors independence for the
Filipinvs and would make the promise
now.
Roosevelt took into the white house
a spirit OF war; Judge Parker wOulC
substitute for 1t q spirit Of peace.
-Four years more OF Roosevelt wOulC
make economic and industrial reform
more difficult; Judge PArker'S election
would clear the way for economic
issues. Let NO democrat, by voting
against Parker or by refusing to vote
take upon himself responsibility TO
four years more of RooseVeltism.

Fiction in Boston.

Boston, as shown by the public
library report, read 11.51 per cent.
less fiction last year than the year
before. 1t seems, however, that
this result was chiefly due to the
restrictive efforts of the librarian,
who says that "Of $50 volumes Of
fiction passed under considera-
ton during the year only 1876 titles
were accepted" Even at that
rate Of rejection it would have
been rather difficult for Bostoni'
ans to keep up with the output of
the story tellers, as the reader
would have had to wade through
over eleven dozen novels in twelve
months.

AMERICAN LAW IN PARIS.
Course Proposed for Study in Unit
versity Including Commercial
and Banking Laws.

Evidence of the growing inter.
est in France in American 6nan-
oial matters generally has recent
ly been given in the form of a Bug-
gestion made by the faculty Of
the law school Of the University
Of Paris, that a course in AmSri-
can law, including commercial
and banking law, be established In
that school. This suggestion,
coming as it does at a time when
special efforts are being made in
some quarters to familiarize the
French public with American in
vestments, is seemingly very
timely, and its adoption would
probably not be without practical
results, says the New York Times.
AS matters stand, il the suggeH-
ton is acted upon, it will be neces-
sary for Americans to provide the
needed funds for the establish
ment of such a course at least for
the first year, after which the
course may be included in the reg
ular budget Of the university. In
another school of the same uniVer-
sity, with the cooperation Of Mr..
James H. Hyde, a course in Amer
lean literature has already been
provided for, and it is thought
that the work in this direction
might prOhtably be extended to in
clude a course that would make
European lawyers more familiar
with American law governing
commerce and banking. This
law school has 5000 students, say
seven times as many as our larg-
est school, and they are drawn
from every country in Europe.
The effect Of such instruction
upon such a large and influential
body of opinion could not fail to
be of interest and value here as
we'll as there. The invitation to
deliver the initial lectures has
already been given to an Amer.
lean who has discharged similar
duties in an American university
and whose writings on American
economic topics have been widely
copied and are influential. But
the permanency of the establish
ment may be said to depend il
some degree upon the interest
and support shown here to the
French initiative.

FEW TOP BOOTS NOW WORN
Even Cowboys and Miners Have Taken
to Laced Footwear Of
the East.

The old-time top boot is fast dis
appearing from the face Of the
earth. Even the miners of the west,
among whom a pair of ordinary
shoes used to be as rare as SOM
breros on Broadway, are abandon
ing them, says the New York Sun.
Eight Or ten years ago the
young mining experts, fresh from
the eastern colleges used to come
into camp with hob-nailed laced
boots. This style of footwear was
at first scorned as the mark of the
tenderfOot and dude.
Then a few miners tried laced
boots just for fun, and found the
fashion a sensible one, Laced
boots brace the ankles for climb.
ing and can be taken off without a
bootjack. They fit more snugly
all round and are less likely to
chafe.
So the miners began to take
them. up. Now the old-time boot
is rare in the mining regions.
Even the few cowboys left in
the west are taking to laced boots,
There was a time, in the heyday
of the cow country, when a special
grade of fine, high-heeled, thin
soled boot was manufactured
solely for the cowboy trade, since
cowboys were always very vain
about their footwear. But with
the decadence of their trade the
cattlemen have lost their small
vanities, and a full half of them
ride in the more comfortable laced
boots. So is the old top boot, once
worn bymost city men, vanquished
In its last stronghold.
