There are now 377 prisoners in the
penitentiary at Anamosa. OF these Al
are insane. OF the whole number there
are but 10 women. The expirations are
more numerous than the admissions
and if the present rate were to be
maintained, there would be few good
men and women out of a job, and the
institution might be closed or devoted
to some other purpose. But it is to be
regretted that such will not be the
case in the near future. There seem tc
be eras or waves of crime, the prison
population will seem to dwindle for a
time, and then for another period a
steady increase may be noted. And as
to the cause, there are all sorts OF
theories and conjectures, but in fact
no one knows anything about it.

well as an annual bonus Of 5000, 900.
Then the American trust was OPP
posed to the formation of the Imperial
Tobacco company, an English trust,
which bought Ogdens for $7,500,O00.
Two quarterly bonuses only had been
paid, when the Imperial trust seized
Ogdens. which went into voluntary
liquidation and James B. Duke, presi-
dent OF the American trust, repudiated
all further claims on the ground that
they became void with the extinction
Of Ogden.
Many actions were brought against
the trust by tobacconist all over Eng

claimants were not entitled to the bon

sponsibility Of State Building
ut Fair.
The cornerstone of the North Da-

position grounds was laid Monday.
The site Of the North Dakota build
ing is one of the most desirable on
the grounds, being in the midst of
those selected by Virginia, Maryland,
Ohio and Pennsylvania, and COM

the following to say:
All the preliminary work has been
done by Mr.. c. A. Everhart, who up
to twelve months ago was prominent
business man Of Fargo, N. D., and
turing establishment, employing $50
to 200 hands. Mr.. Everhart came to
Norfolk some months ago and Is
spending the winter with his family
at the Atlantic hotel.
He has become an enthusiastic sup
porter Of the exposition and his 10y
atty and patriotic devotion to North
Dakota has inspired him to under take
the labor and expense of erecting the
North Dakota building.
Mr.. Everhart at the exposition head
quarters talked this morning of the
North Dakota building.
II do not propose" he said, Ito let
my state be left out of the process
sion for we have as much to proud
" aYhjhit aS any IF thom0
He then explained that as the legis-
lature of North Dakota did not meet
until January he was afraid that It
might be too late to complete any
building for which his state might APP
propriate, in time for the exposition,
SO he had taken the responsibility
and expense upon himself, and the
lot had been paid for by him, as the
building would be when completed.
Suppose your state fails to appro-
priate?" he was asked.
Il do not believe North Dakota will
miss this opportunity" he replied,
"but IL she does not want to make an
appropriation, l will personally bear
the expense and keep open house for
those of my fellow citizens who do
come, and exhibit such resources as
may be able to obtain. North Da-
kota is going to be represented with
all the other states just as sure as
am spared to see the exposition
through"
Around the exposition headquarters
there is most kindly feeling toward
North Dakota for Senator Hansbrough

tee that brought in a unanimous re-
port in favor of the government ap-
propriating for the jamestown expo
sition. North Dakota will find a warm
welcome at the exposition.

Earns Living Chasing Hats.

A new profession has been estab-
lihed-the professional hat chaser. It
fills long "felt" want-not only felt,
but any other kind of a hat would
mean as much to him. The windier
the day the happier the hat chaser
appears. He hangs around windy cor
ners, like the fatiron building prop
erty-which is veritable klondike to
him-and when old Boreas peels of
the head piece of an innocent pedes-
TRAN he Immediately starts in pursuit
and, securing the hat, brushes 1t newly
with a near-bald brushlet which he
carries concealed somewhere on his
person, hands it back to its rightful
owner and then with an appealing
look awaits results-which may be a
nickel, or, very seldom. dime. 1t is
said these chasers earn from 81 to So
a day, dependent upon the weather.
Some of them carry supply Of string
hat guards and offer them at 10 cents
apiece to whoever has been so unfor-
tunate as to have his hat tossed about
on the winds.
