MINNESOTA AT THE FAIR.
Commissioners Have Got Down to Bust
ness and State is Represented.

In the entire world fair no state,
with the exception of Missouri, has
participated with greater variety
and abundance of display than Min
nesota. Five of the great exhibit
palaces show the result of her in
dustry and her manifold resources.
The Minnesota building, that is
Byzantine in character, is not of
wood and staff, to be torn down at
the expiration of the exposition, like
most of the fair buildings. 1t is
composed of concrete blocks, with
all its parts SO adjusted that it can
be taken back to its native state
and erected as a permanent memen-
to to the great exposition. The
ground floor is in one large recep-
ton hall where all the daily papers
of the state are kept on file. There
is also a postoffice aud check room
here. Opening from the reception
room are two alcoves that serve as
music rooms for ladies and gentle
men. The furniture is all hand
made and is the work of the manual
training department of the Mime
apolis and st. Paul public schools.
The windows are enriched by very
beautiful stained cut glass which
bears the names of all the Mime
sofa counties.
Another exhibit of Minnesota
manual training work is to be found
in the palace of education. There
are displays of carving, turned
wood. furniture of artistic pattern,
and forged metal, all done by the
boys of the mechanic art high school
of St. Paul and the manual high
school of Minnesota. The hand
work of the girls is shown in sew
ing, painting and exquisite embroid-
cry.
Minnesota is one of the few states
represented in the palace of fores-
try, fish and game The building
includes all that the name Of the
building suggests. There is a
double row of glass tanks contain
ing fresh water fish, and there is a
realistic forest scene, composed of
real trees that blend admirably with
a painted background. Among the
trees are taxidermized specimens OF
wolves and other northern animals.
The exhibit in the palace of agri-
culture is both extensive and inter
esting. It is tangible presenta-
ton of Minnesota S time-honored
nickname, the bread and butter
state. In the great glass walled
refrigerator the most imposing piece

Chambersburg, Is; McCOnnelIsburg, II

On Saturday last the strong
Cham bersburg club defeated the
home team in one of the most
loosely played games ever seen on
Athletic field. The local team had
bad case of stage fright which
lasted throughout the entire
game. The field was very wet,
and was in wretched condition
for a bali game; but Cham bers.
ourg could handle a wet ball bet.
ter than our own team and, con-
sequently, won the game. Wag-
ner pitched the game with lame
arm, and was unable to throw
anything but straight ball; but,
nevertheless, he would have won
his game, If he would have re-
ceived any decent support from
the club back of him. The local
team used miserable judgment at
the bat, striking at balls two feet
above their heads. Jackson play
ed a good game at Sd base, and
Wagner, N, and Fisher excelled
at the bat. For the visitors, Sharp,
Riddle and Caldwell led at the
bat.
Take a brace, boys, and play
ball. Chambersburg Will be here
again on the 9th of August, and
on that date, we will show them
how the game shonld be played.

BOB WHITES USEFUL.
These Graceful Birds Are Among the Best
Friends the Farmers Have.

The ornithologists of the De.
partment of Agriculture have
been making an investigation OF
the economic value of the Bob
White, or quail, called partridge
around here, as a result of which
1T is now announced that that bird
is probably the most useful abun.
dant species on the farms. Field
observations, experiments and
examinations show that it con.
sumes large quantities of weed
seeds and destroys many of the
orst insects with which farmers
contend, and yet it does not injure
grain, fruit or any other crop.
1t is figured that from Septem ber
l to April 30 annually, in Virginia
alone, the total consumption of
weed seed by Bob Whites a.
mounts to 573 tons. Some of the
pests which it habltually destroys
are the Mexican cotton boil weevil
which damages the cotton crops
upwards of $15,00O,0O0 a year,
the potato beetle, which cuts off
SO, 100000 from the value of the
potato crop, the cotton worms,
which have been known to cause
$50, 100000 loss in year, the
chinch bug, and the Rocky Noun
tain locust, scourges which leave
desolation in their path and have
caused losses to the extent of
Sl00,000,00O IN some years, The
report urges measures to secure
the preservation of the Bob White
IN this country.

Sheriff Fleck came into court
and acknowledged his deed poll
for tract of land situate in Dub
lin township containing ten acres
sold as the property of D. A.
Boyle for so,
The most important item of
business considered was case
in equity in which DR.. VIM. L.
McKibbin and George Scrlever
were plaintiffs and Elizabeth
Scritchtield OF Johnstown, Pa,
was plaintiff. The facts in the
case briefly stated are these:
Elizabeth Scrltc liield Is the
daughter of George Michael Fish
er and his wife Barbara, late of
Union township, deceased. George
Michael Fisher died in Union
township in 1892, possessed Of a
tract OF land of about 80 acres,
which his widow, Barbara Fisher
took under the intestate law.
From the death Of the husband
until the fall Of 1899, Elizabeth
Fisher, the defendant, lived with
her mother, barbara Fisher, in
Union township, when the latter
married and settled in Johnstown
taking her mother with her.
During her residence in Union
township, the widow needing Il
physician, employed DR.. McKIb,
bin, and when she removed to
Johnstown, she owed the Doctor
about $50.
George Scriever, the other
plaintiff in the case, built house
for the widow during the time
the property was occupied by her
and her daughter, furnished lum
ber, shingles, and other building
materia! amounting to about $40.
These bills were not settled when
the mother and daughter left the
township and went to Johnstown.
During visit made by Mrs.
Fisher in 1902 to her daughter,
Mrs. Spade, then living in Union
township, the plaintiffs brought
suit against Mrs. Fisher, before
Squire Shank tor the recovery of
the aforesaid claims and obtained
Judgment. Theoldlady returned
to her home in Johnstown, and
soon thereafter died.
When the plaintiffs now began
to look after the collection of their
claims, ii was discovered that in
February, 1901, Mrs. Fisher had
executed a mortgage in favor of
her daughter, Mrs. Scritchfeld,
in the penal sum of $500, condi-
toned for the payment of 5000,
which Mrs. Scritchfeld claims
was due her for attention, loans
of money, &c.
The plaintiffs clam that the
giving of this mortgage was fraud
n1ent as IN them and was intend.
ed to hinder, delay, and defraud
them; hence, thls SUIT.
The disposition of this case is
watched with more than usual In-
terest, as 1t Is the first time IN the
history of this county that case
like this has come before our
courts.
