MINNESOTA NEWS.
Hurrah for Our Butter.

Minnesota has captured everything
in sight in the first butter scoring at
the worlds fair.
Butter men say her record in this
event is phenomenal, and compliments
are being showered on the Bread and
Butter State for the great showing
made, and state representatives there
are just touching the high places as
they blushingly receive the lcompli-
ments.
Minnesota wins first and second place
for creamery butter as follows:
M. Sondergard, Hutchinson, w. f.
Stahman, Loretta, and l.. Larson, Oar
win, each 9s11 points; L. b. Anderson,
of Albert Lea, and II. III. Jensen,
Clark's Grove, each 9sA points.
Print Butter: Mrs. j. c. Joslin, Of
Winstead, first place with 9715 points
Dairy butter: Mrs. l.. M. Holmes, of
Owatonna, first place, with 96H points.
Thirty five other Minnesota entries
scored 90 points or better, which places
them in gold medal claim, and over
eighty scored for silver medal. The
| judges were:
Oscar Douglas of Boston, John Mid
dlestead of Chicago and b. d. White Of
New York, who, without knowing
whence the butter came, pronounced it
the finest lot they had ever tested; it
being the highest average ever attain
ed by any state in such a contest.
They agreed that such results could
only be attained by excellent pure food
laws carefully enforced, and praised
the state dairy and food commission
and the commission for the many en-
tries and care shown in making exhi-
bit.
That three men from one state
should come within quarter of
point of the record score for the United
States is considered remarkable, and is
the topic of conversation among dairy
interests.
Wisconsin took third place for cream
cry butter, with score Of ninety-sev-
en-.
| North Dakota had nineteen entries
in the creamery class. Miller of FL
lendale, Knowlan of Wishek, Suther-
land of Hemple and Miller of Forman
being highest, with 9311 points each.
The balance were between that and SO,
the judges knocking all samples on &C
count of wild onion flavor, otherwise
the points were high.

State Fair Races.

Nominations for the Minnesota State
Fair races must be placed with Secre-
tary E.. w. Randall, Hamline, Mimi,
very shortly, as the entries positively
close at IL p. m, July 1. Last years
records on the Minnesota track, as well
as the very large number of entries
and the enormous attendance at the
fair, have added to the reputation of
this annual meet, and horsemen every
where are now talking of the proba-
bilities for the meet of this year, which
opens on August 30. Interest has been
heightened by the increase in the
amount of money offered by the state
fair management. The purses have
always been liberal, there having been
for number of years past none less
than 81, 900 for harness horses, but this
year the management has added So, 900
to the total, which now reaches the
handsome sum of $25, 900.

La Not Game.

The inmates of the state institutions
will not eat caviare sandwiches as a
result of the seizure by the game and
fish commission of 600 pounds of caviare
at Beaudette. Officials in the attorney
generals office held that caviare is
neither game nor fish, and that under
the law the game and fish commission
is not obliged to turn over the caviare
to the state institutions. The state
board of control did not want the
caviare, SO Mr.. Fullerton will sell it.
Caviere costs about 80 cents a pound.
Executive Agent S. f. Fullerton, Of
the state game and fish commission,
says that through the cooperation of
game wardens of Minnesota and Cam
ada illegal sturgeon fishing in Rainy
river and Lake of the Woods has been
reduced to the minimum.

introduced Rev. Timothy P. Frost, pas
tor of the First Methodist church, of
Evanston, Ill.,, who pronounced the
opening prayer.
Elihu Root, of New York, was made
permanent chairman.
Mr.. Roots Address.
Mr.. Root began his address with a
review of the history of the republican
party, following it down from Lincoln
to Mckinley, and at the mention Of the
names of these and others of the great
men of the party he was greeted with
prolonged applause, and when he said:
when with Mckinley we remember
Hanna" there was a demonstration,
the delegates standing.
The more striking sentences of his
speech were literally applauded. When
he reviewed in figures the increase of
the money of the country and an
nounced the enormous sum of gold ac-
cumulated, the convention became en-
thusiastic. He turned his attention to
the administrations regulation of the
trusts and when he said: But no
honest industry has been suppressed"
there was a round of approving ap-
plause. The declaration that those cor
porations which encroached on the
rights of the public had been curbed
to an extent never before reached also
pleased the convention.
Discussing the Cuban question, Mr..
Root read the dispatch from President
Palma to President Roosevelt when
the island was turned over. 1t was the
first time he mentioned the presidents
name, and the convention grasped
the opportunity to applaud. Shortly
after he brought in the name of Secre-
tary Taft, which was also heartily ap-
plauded.
The administrations Panama canal
policy received round of applause
when Mr.. Root declared that "the
weaklings would have postponed it's
construction to another generation"
Mr.. Roots challenge of Judgment
on the record of these republican adj
ministrations," was signal for a
shout and applause. Reverential 81
lence prevailed as the speaker alluded
briefly to the assassination of President
Mckinley, and again applause as his
successors record was reviewed
Mr. Root concluded his address with
the words Theodore Roosevelt" and
they were magic to the delegates. The
most marked demonstration CT the ses-
sion ensued. The delegates climbed on
their chairs and tossed hats and hand
kerchiefs into the air.
Temporary Officers.
The roll of temporary officers of the
convention was then read by the clerk,
and approved by the convention.
After the appointment of committees
the convention took recess until
Wednesday noon.

IUncbines Threatened.

Lynchings are threatened in four
places in western Pennsylvania owing to
assaults on white women by negroes.
Besides the assault committed on Mrs.
Thomas Boggan, at Patton, Pa, by
negro, who escaped an armed posse, four
girls have been attacked in various
places during the past twenty four hours.
Ella Stilley, aged sixteen, daughter OF
Jerry Stlley, superintendent of the Clsr-
endon Iron Works, was assaulted Thurs
day night at II o'clock by two men,
who dragged her out on the bridge
across the Monongahela river at Mononga-
hela City. Harvey Barnes, of Mononga-
hels City, was arrested yesterday. In
the struggle the girls arm was broken.
Hettie Adams, a cousin, who accompan-
led Miss Stilley, is missing, having run
when her companion was attacked.
Miss Stilley was saved by the approach
of a telegraph operator, who heard her
cries. At Kittanning, Pa, the 9-year-old
daughter of Thos. Coulter while going to
school yesterday morning, was assaulted
by two masked men. They seized her
while passing group of trees. 1t is re-
ported she will die. Effort is being made
to secure bloodhounds with which to
pursue the criminals. Bessie Hawkes.,
aged sixteen, of Homestead, was on her
way home from her work Thursday night
when q negro attacked her and attempt
ed to assault her. Miss Hawkes. fought
and succeeded in wrenching herself free
and running to her home. Miss Ethel
Stagg, of Homestead, was attacked by a
negro, but got away.
The negro arrested at Patton, Pa, for
an assault made on Mrs Boggan was re-
leased, according to his captor, Constable
Jackson, the prisoner having proven an
alibi. The 300 infuriated citizens who
set out Thursday to lynch the negro dis.
credit the constable's story, and believe
it is a ruse to allow the officers to gel
him to safety to prevent violence. Yes
terday the men, led by the husband,
father. and brothers of the victim, were
still searching for the constable, whom
they believe to have the negro in custody

A SENSATIONAL CHARGE.

A charge delivered by Judge Daniel
Partridge, jr., to the Dallas county, Ga,
grand jury has created great sensation.
Judge Partridge is law partner OF
Senator Pettus, and was born and reared
in the heart OF the black belt OF Ala
bama. The principal theme of his
charge was the negro question, and he
urged the grand jury to do their duty IN
fully investigating the charge against
the three white deputy sheriffs and the
seven negroes confined in Jail charged
with the lynching of the negro Edward
Bell several weeks ago. Judge Part
ridge criticised the white people most
severely for their treatment of the ne
groes, and declared that the lower class
of whites were responsible for the law
lessless among the negroes by setting
bad examples for their interiors to fol-
low. He spoke of the faithfulness OF
the negroes during the war; declaring
that if they were now given equal
Justice with the white people they would
make better citizens. He denounced
that class of southern gentlemen who
carry pistols in their pockets for the
purpose of shooting down helpless and
inoffensive negroes upon the least provo
cation.
The charge was pronouncsdby conser-
yatiye citizens to be the most sensational
ever delivered in Dallas county, and it
was freely predicted that the grand jury
would free the ten lynchers after hear
ing Judge Patridge's charge, notwith-
standing the fact that one of the alleged
lynchers had already confessed 10 the
crime and implicated the white deputies
and other prominent white citizens. This
prediction proved to be we'll founded, as
the grand jury, after hearing the evi.
dence. recommended that the men charg-
ed with the lynching be discharged.
Col. w. w. Quarles, the prosecuting
attorney fer the State, made the charge
in open court that the jury had been in
luenced by the friends of the prisoners.
