ST. LOUIS, August lo.-lne farmers
in the Agricultural building at the
fair are now happy. For month or
two back they have been trying to get
the exposition officials to place band
in the building afternoons as an at
traction to draw visitors to the place.
Nothing was done by the officials IN
til yesterday when the committee from
the exhibitors notified them that I'M
less the band was forthcoming a
farmers band would be organized from
the talent in the building and equipped
with such instruments as could be
gathered up in the kitchens and ma
chinery exhibits. The bare mention
of such band brought the push to
time and now fine music enlivens the
building each afternoon.
BY actual count 25,7S4 people have
registered in the Roosevelt cabin
since July 9Th, which is probably about
half of those who have visited that
great attraction. The relic hunters
are a terror to cats. They have pulled
all the nails out of the soles of Teddy's
boots, which hang in the cabin, have
tried to pry off the silver plate left by
Miss Roosevelt and would take away
the roof if it were not nailed on.
Governor Bartlett returned today
after four and half days on the boat
from St. Paul. Fogs and head winds
delayed the boat "a hours. He looks
as though he had made trip across
the Sahara, being as tanned as the
proverbial lobster.
The father and mother of DR.. Rawl
| ings came in to see us today, and like
, the genial doctor, are pleasant people
to meet. The old gentleman stretched
out on the sofa and Mrs. Rawlings
filled a rocking chair for half an hou1
and voted the North Dakota "Res1
House" the proper caper. Another
visitor today was C. A. Heegaard, the
, Mandan merchant He was profuse
! in his compliments of the exhibit anG
while here heard conversation which
sent a man to the slope to buy land
Ruth Adams and Loren S. Roger were
other Mandan folks here in the pas
day or two. Some of the most inter
ested people from the state this weel
were w. E. Wells, wife and son O.
Hague, Emmons county. They brought
great reports Of this years crop il
that section and promised to get some
of it down here upon their return.
, This reminds me that now is the time
for exhibits of this seasons crop to be
sent down to swell the exhibit. The
commission hopes the state papers
will keep this matter before the PEG
pie so that at the earliest moment the
best of everything can be shown. We
want at the earliest moment all kinds
of good potatoes, the larger the better
and later, or as soon as they get ripe
! all kinds of vegetables. So far the
southern states which have gotten i1
their vegetables haven't got much tt
! brag of. as we look at it. They may
be good for that section, but none O
our farmers would dream of taking
such little runts to street fair. Thu
Missouri slope supplied the bulk of thu
vegetables that scooped in the prem
iums at the Pan-American exposition
and there is no reason why histor,
should not repeat itself under presen
crop conditions.
One cannot but admire the Hpunl

Minneapolis
Business Men

The greatest trouble with business
men In Minneapolis, as elsewhere, is
the need of proper exercise, in a gem
eral way. Sitting all day at the desk, of
itself, develops a train of troubles that
cannot be gotten rid of by taking pills,
potions and powders. These may
help, in some ways, in some cases, but
usually they are a poor reliance, and
too much should not be expected of
them. In the great majority of all
such cases they are a positive injury
Like the Scotchman's snuff, little of
them goes long way. What the
average system of the business man
needs more than anything else is that
exercise, given under skilful instruc-
ton, that will tone up and keep in tone
the whole system. There is a world
of philosophy in this when applied to

WAS NOXON DEAD
BEFORE HE FELL?
QUESTION RAISED BY INSURANCE
COMPANIES.
They Assert that the Minneapolis
Lawyer Died of Apoplexy and that
He Was Not Drowned in Echo Bay,
N. 100000 in Dispute.

A novel claim has been raised by
the insurance companies to evade the
payment of $4,000 on the life of
Willis Il. Noxon, the Minneapolis law
yer who was drowned on April % by
falling from his brothers yacht In
Echo bay, New Rochelle, N. Y. The
accident insurance company, which
took the risk, asserts that the drown
ing was not an accident and that Mr..
toppled over into the water. Accord
ing to this contention, he was dead
when he fell overheard.
The case is to be holly contested by
the dead mans brothers, Charles H.
Noxon of New Rochelle, owner OF
the yacht from which Willis fell into
the water, and John e. Noxon, dis
trict attorney at Pittsfield. Mass, who
are the only heirs.
Charles H. Noxon says that on the
afternoon of the accident he went
ashore to buy some supplies and left
his brother, who was in poor health,
in the cabin in the care Of a nurse.
The nurse afterward took Mr.. Noxon
on deck and left him sitting on the
cabin roof. While the nurse was do
ing some work below, Mr.. Noxon took
a campstool and attempted to sit be-
side the rail, when he lost his balance
and fell into the water.
The brothers knew nothing of the
insurance until they went thru the
drowned mans effects several months
after his death. They found the pol
icy for 100000, made payable to his
estate.
Charles H. Noxon is the editor OF
the New Rochelle Tribune. Accord
ing to a dispatch, he said today that
the accident company was evadine
payment of the claim on account OF
a certain clause In the policy. but
that an action would be brought in
court to compel it to pay the claim
in full. Mr.. Noxon says that an au.
topsy, performed after the body
reached Great Darlington, Mass, fol
burial, showed conclusively that his
brother died from drowning.
Willis Noxon's home was at 1874
Spruce place and his office in the
Globe building. He left the city las
November, then suffering from {
disease which resembled locomotol
atax,a. After spending several week:
in Porto Rico, he went to his broth
er's home in New Rochelle, abou
twenty miles north of New York city

LOCALS DOING
THINGS At EXPO
M. b. GRAVES TELLS OF MINNIE
sOTANs AT TIE FAIR.
j. ID. Tippett and HI. Roltaire Have
Shows on the Pike Cole Younger
Wouldn't Accept Tempting oner to
Join Wild West Show.

M. B. Graves, formerly proprietor
of the Golden West hotel, who has
been in the city for the past week.
concluding the negotiations for the
sale Of the property to r. p. Dorgan
of Morris, returns this week to st.
Louis to resume the management Of
the Mammoth hotel.
This hotel is a remodeled business
block at Olive and Twelfth streets,
and has accommodations for 5000
people. Mr.. Graves says that he was
rather worried as to the outcome of
his venture until the week of the
democratic convention demonstrated
to what proportions the hotel BUSH
ness can grow when the rush Of Wis
itors really begins, which he expects
shortly after September.
st. Louis reputation for hot wealth
err is operating to make the attend
ance light during this month, and
will also affect that of August. Mr..
Graves says that the repayment of
the government loan has strained the
resources of the exposition manage
ment to the limit, and that, as a re-
suit, the salaries of employees are
behind in payment
Patronage of the Pike shows has
been rather light, but the concession
aires still appear to be hopeful of
coming out on top, altho many of
them have gone to an expense that
makes profitable outcome seem al
most hopeless.
J. D. Tippett Of Minneapolis who
left the employ of the Minneapolis
& St Louis road to become an in
spector of concessions of the Pike,
has lately taken the management Of
the Palais du Costumes, one of the
big Pike shows. /. Creation, which is
the star feature of the Pike, is the
invention of H. Roltaire, who was
an attache of the old Sackett & Wig
gins dime museum here, and who was
one of the investors in the building
Of the Lyceum theater.
Mr.. Graves says that an effort was
made to induce Cole Younger to ex-
hibit himself on the Pike in connec-
ton with the Cummings Wild West
show, but that the old man refused
to break his word to the state of Min
nesota and turned down a tempting
offer. Since then Cole has been elect
ed president of a company which is
to manufacture and sell gasheater
for domestic purposes.

BRIGHT METEOR SEEN
Phenomenon Witnessed In Mlnneapoli
Early This Morning..

Without warning the skies became bril-
liantly Illuminated last night about 1
o'clock and people who happened to be
on the street were surprised by the daz-
zing light.
The light first appeared in the northern
heavens and travelled southwark. The
electric Hastings seemed to radiate from
a central meteoroid which swept along
with all the attendant pageantry of a
comet. The brilliancy was probably caused
by the friction with the earth's atmos-
phere and the ignition was rapid. Some
witnesses declare that the meteoroid
struck the earth to the southwark Of Min
neapolis and that the noise of an ex-
plosion was heard.
The biologists who have advanced their
opinions say that it requires a mass Of
thousands of tons of meteoric iron to
penetrate the atmosphere and reach the
earth's surface. There is a constant
shower of meteoroids and meteor dust
striking the surface of the atmosphere
every minute, but it rarely happens that
the mass Is large enough to have its light
appear to the naked eye.

the requirements of natures laws.
Then there is an army of men who are
really ailing, not to say sick. Each
knows his symptoms best, even if he
may not know what the trouble is.
One has one impairment and the other
different ailment, while still another
different malady. DR.. L. j. Cooke
makes close, careful and thoroughly
searching examination of the whole
system, every vital organ, and then a
chemical analysis and microscopical
examination. He then knows what the
trouble is, and he proceeds at once to
remove the cause and repair the in
jury. Each case is specialized No
two cases are treated alike. His pri-
vate institute of physical culture, Gil
Kasota building, has the larger mem
bership now than that of this same
season Of any previous year.

FRUIT DOING WELL
State EntomoIoelst Says They Are Up-to-
Dtate.

T.. /. 2 - ; a y h i !, $
F. L. Washburn, state entomologist,
returned yesterday from his annual tour
of inspection among the gardens, farms
and nurseries in the southern part of the
state. He declares that If there are no
more excessive rains the crops will at
least be up to the average. At present
they are as far advanced as usual.
Some Of the nurseries have had a great
deal Of trouble with destructive leaf
hopper, which every year is becoming
more of pest in Minnesota. It's imme-
date effect Is a choking Of the growth Of
the nursery trees. The department Of
agriculture has spent vast amount Of
time and money fighting this plague and
1t Is now thought that successful
treatment has been discovered. This will
mean saving ofanearly a fourth of the
expense each year to the. nursery men.
Mr.. Washburn's trip included the OWa-
tonna, Winnebago City, Adrian, Faribault,
Albert Lea, Fairmont and Luverne.

LOST 5000 AT A GAME
Sank Center Man Went Against Three
-s Card Monte.

Sduk SSnIeT Wan WENT against = nTe0
&C.. Card Monte.
It cost e. E. Lonegan of Sank. Center
just $3.50 to learn that it is not wise thing
to drink in third class saloons with strang-
ers, and that the seemingly easy three
card monte game is a dangerous thing
for farmers to monkey with.
Lonegan came to the city yesterday with
5000, which he intended to invest in farm
implements. He stepped into saloon In
the lower part of town and was met by
men who were good takers and frequent
buyers. After Lonegan had little too
much liquor he was induced to place his
money on a three card monte game. His
last cent went, and then a fake police
man came in, as usual, to tell him to get
out of town or be arrested for gambling.
The farmer refused to take the scare,
but asked the man for $25 to bu va re-
turn ticket. The men were SO aston
ished by his GOODNESS over his expensive
lesson that they gave him $50 and then
disappeared. ~ 80
