Marine Man Arrested for Sending a
Threatening Letter

Atlantic, Ia, Aug. 16.-Ona of the
most sensational affairs of some years
has just ccme to light by the arrest
of a we'll digger at Marine named
Sorenson. Some weeks ago William
Simpson, the Marine banker received
fourpage letter which had been
pushed through the back door OF his
bank, telling him that unless 1000
in gold was left under a certain
bridge about two miles ncrtn of
Marine on a certain date the writer
would assassinate Mr.. Simpson,
throw acid in the eyes of his wife,
kidnap his boy and burn his home.
After consulting with friends, Mr..
Simpson complied with the demands
of the letter, but had seven officers
hid in the neighborhood of the bridge
to see who got the money. No one
appeared. however, and the money
was taken back. A detective was en-
ployed and put on the case, with the
result that Sorenson was arrested.
His examination was held before a
justice in Atlantic. He waived trial
and was bound over to the grand Jury
in sl500 bonds, in default of which he
was locked up in the county Jail. The
prisoner has wife and two children.
and is we'll known here, where he
has several relatives.

enough to occupy the attention of Wis.
itors for many days. Nothing to COM
pare with them was ever attempted be-
fore. They are the climax of several
decades of educational work which is
placing farming on high plane and
is making scientific agriculture pleas
ing reality.
The conspicuous role played by agri-
culture at the Worlds Fair should
bring untold bcrpits and wealth to
the farming community of the world
and impress all farmers with the i'm
portance and di@niiT Of their calling.
Passing through these colossal build
ings, studying the attractive exhibits
and fascinated with the bewildering
encyclopedia of ra,al life which is
spread out before his eyes, the Worlds
Fair visitor is Impressed with the i'm
porlant part the farmer plays in the
great wof,l OF industry, and every
farmer w.:o views these interesting ex-
hibits is given new pride in his vo-
cation if filled with Inspiration and inn
pressed with new ideas in harmony
With the progressive strides that farm
ing has been making for the past few
years. The visit will give an insight
into up to date farming on the most
approved plan and will bring new
hopes and blessings to the farm.
How properly to rotate crops. how to
get the best results from fertilizing and
irrigation, how to protect crops and
fruit from the ravages of insects-all
these and many more things of vital
interest to farmers and fruit growers
are taught at the Worlds Fair

FARMERS MONTH
AT WORLDS FAIR
Biggest Department of the Great Expcs;
ticn Ready For the Inspection of the
Army Of Men Who Made Its
Creation Possible.

NOW that crops have been or are he
Ing laid by, the farmer prepares for his
trip to the Worlds Fair. treat that
has long been promised him and for
which he has patiently waited. No ex.
position has offered so many induce
ments for the farmers presence as this
one at st. Louis, nor has any previous
exposition given the prominence and
space to the subject of agriculture.
August and September are ostensibly
the farmers months at the Exposition.
for it is at this season that the agricul-
ture exhibits are the freshest and best.
Products of the new crops are pouring
into the booths from every state in the
Union, and additions are constantly
being made to the gorgeous display.
Headquarters for visiting farmers
may be found in every state section of
tie great Agriculture Palace, but for
their special convenience there has lust
been completed Grange House, situ-
ated in the south end of the building.
1t is equipped with reception room,
ladies' retiring rooms and check rooms.
where parcels may be left free of
charge. Here will be kept list of
moderate priced rooms TO aid visiting
farmers and their families in procuring
accommodations.
The largest building ON the grounds
is the Palace of Agriculture, covering
twenty acres, while the Palace of Hor-
ticulture near by covers about a third
as much space. These two immense
structures are filed With exhibits of
the farm, garden and orchard of the
most extensive and elaborate character,
every state in the Union and most of
the principal countries of the world
being represented.
Agriculture is given more prominence
than any other department ut the Ex-
position, the paramount Importance of
this great industry having been fully
appreciated from the very beginning
of the Worlds Fair movement.
About seventy acres of ground are
covered by the agriculture and horti-
culture department at tho Fair, large
outdoor spaces being ed to this
industry. Outside there are growing
crops, trees and flowers, an instructive
six acre farm maintained by the Unit
ed States Government Plant Industry,
and gardens in all parts of the grounds
There are more exhibits in the Agri
culture building than in any other sec.
ton of the Exposition. This building
is considered by many people the most
interesting part of the Worlds Fair.
The exhibits in the palaces of Agri-
culture and Horticulture constitute a
display vast enough and instructive

the circuit court failed to return prop

sequence. The grand jury spent nearly
a month longer than usual investigat-
ing the charges that the police depart
ment collects $40 every three months
from oil the fallen women of the city.
Last Saturday it leaked out that the
grand jury had indicted Chief Ander
