PERRY ADMITS THEFT.
Tells Where Articles Stolen at Camp
Meeting Can Be Found.
From Wednesdays Daily.

From Wednesdays Daily.
Sheriff Williams, Chief Donahue and
Officer Klughertz put Harry Perry in
the sweat box at the Jail yesterday af-
ternoon, and he finally confessed that
it was he who committed the robbery
at the campmeeting at the Morse min
eral springs a few nights ago. At first
he attempted to deny it, as he had done
before, but the evidence against him was
shown to be so great that he finally gave
in. He told where nearly all of the miss
ing articles can be found. He threw
away or lost most of what he stole, and
realized less than So from the robbery.
He said that while riding in a freight
car he lost DR.. Davis surgical instru-
nlents and the BARRIERS shears. He had
sold a rozor and hair clippers at bar
Der shop in Faribault. Other plumber
was left in some brush along a road,
and he described the place. He said
that he was alone in the robbery.
Perry denied strongly that he had
anything to do with the robbery of
the Omaha freight car the other night,
and the officers do not believe that he
had anything to do with it.
Sheriff Williams went to Faribault
this morning, returning at noon. He
got the razor and clippers that Perry
had sold to the young son of colored
barber for fifty cents. The razor alone
was worth $3.50.

School Students.
From Wednesdays Daily.

Supt. S. J. Race of Redwood county
this morning addressed the students of
the normal school and for half an hour
held their closest attention, while Civ
ing "reminiscences of his experience with
teachers, and admonishing them to lay
greater stress upon the teaching of NOR
atty and true manliness and womanli-
ness, rather than technical subjects. He
said they should decorate their school
rooms by their own genius and not with
cheap advertisements. His appearance
upon the platform was an occasion of
universal applause, and showed the esti-
nation in which he was held by the stu
dent body. Prof. Race is a candidate
for the office of state superintendent I'M
der the incoming administra ton, being
the oldest superintendent in the state
in years of experience and one of the
strongest if not the strongest in the
state. His candidacy should, his friends
say, meet with serious consideration by
the appointing authority.

BUILDINGS ORDERED OFF.
School District Will Defend Its Posi-
tion in the Courts.
From Wednesdays Daily.

School district No. 10 has gotten into
a mixup with Willis N. Ballard. 1t ap-
pears that some years ago Mr.. Billiards.
father, Columbus Ballard, gave the dis
trict the free use of half acre or
so of land for the location of school
house, as long as it desired to keep up
the school there, so it is claimed by
the district. No deed was ever made out
for the transfer of the land, but the
district went ahead and built good
school house on the land, upon stone
foundation, and outbuildings. There was
never anything said about the matter un-
til recently. Last year Columbus Bal
lard divided some of his property among
his children, and the land that contained
the school lot fell to Willis N. Ballard.
The latter has served notice on the dis
trict to remove the buildings.
The trustees have engaged the ser
vices of Plymat & Plymat and have
secured from Judge Cray an order to
show cause why appraisers should not
be appointed to appraise the value of
the land so that the school district can
purchase it. This order is returnable
Sept. 9th.
1t is said that Willis N. Ballard was
one of the school trustees at the time
that the most of the building on the lot
in question was done.

Minnesota Butter Again Scores High.
est at the Worlds Fair.
Both in Creamery and Dairy Products
This State Leads.
Mrs NJ. L. ho'mas of 0watonna Is
Accorded Fl gh Honers.
Other Makers Are Given Scores Way
Up in the List.
From Wednesdays Daily.


Worlds Fair, st. Louis, Mo-, July 90
Against superiority of Minnesota butter
has been recognized in the dairy tests
conducted by the dairy department of the
Louisiana Purchase exposition. Minneso-
ia receiving the best scoring, both in
dairy and creamery butter. However,
in the scoring in the creamery product,
Minnesota is forced to divide honors with
Iowa, as out of the scoring of 9SR,
Minnesota claimed two and Iowa one
The great northwest reigned supreme,
however, in dairy tests, securing the
highest scoring.
The official score in the creamery
test was as follows:
n. c. Severling, Knatvold, MINI. :. .9Sh
W. B. Fadden, Plato, MINI ......9SR
W. B. Johnson, Arlington, Iowa. ..9Sh
E. P. Greeting, Alden, MINI. ...9S
j. c. Joslin, Winsted, MINI. .9S
The test compared favorably with that
of last month, although it may not
average quite as good.
More than 400 tubs of butter were
passed upon by the judges and at least
sixty scored 95 and better. The COM
plete scoring has not been averaged, but
that Minnesota leads by good margin
is conceded by every state. The con-
test was even more spirited than it was
last month, and Minnesota may claim
great credit in making her superb show
ing.
The Minnesota Butter and Cheese
company of st. Paul was first in print
butter and scored 90.
Mrs NJ L. Holmes of Owatonna, Mimi,
has the right to claim the title of the
finest buttermaker, as her tub scored 95,
splendid record for dairy butter. Mrs.
w. ]. Rippey of Syracuse, Ind, made
close second with 9414 points. The judges
were c. Douglas of Boston, John Mittel
stadt of Chicago and B. d. White of
New York. They express surprise at the
remarkable showing being made in the
tests, declaring it has never been equal
ed before, and also express surprise over
the fact that Minnesota leads by such
great margins. This is the second test
of four, the others to be made in August
and September.
Minnesota by winning the second test
is almost assured of final supremacy,
though it is anticipated that the third
test will yield the highest scoring of
any, and a special effort will be made
by every state to carry off honors.
Tests were made with the greatest ac
curacy, and butter was judged strictly
on its merit, the judges not knowing the
maker or state producing 1T. Little real
poor butter was found in the entire 400
tubs, and though the general average
may be lower the uniform quality of
butter was better, especially in the
creamery product.

New Trial Denied.

From Tuesdays Daily.
Judge Plymat today filled an order
denying the motion for new trial for
Geo. Z. Williams, who was convicted of
fornication. The court states that he
does not consider it case for certifica-
ton to the supreme court to pass upon
the law, as it is case for the construc-
ton of facts and not of law. He holds
that the fact that the parties registered
under their own names at a hotel prov
ed open and notorious cohabitation. The
case may be appealed to the supreme
court, as the legislature evidently made
mistake in the law, but the courts
findings in this case seems to have been
justified by the evidence.
