GRAIN SURPRISES MANY
Fine Samples Of Wheat. Oats, Corn
and Vegetables Shown in Grill
Restaurant Building.

The eXhi bitiOn OF farm and
garden products which was
made in the Grill restaurant
building Friday and Saturday

ing for any county in the state

the state that the raising of good
crops on cut over lands was an
impossibility.
Many good exhibits Of wheat,
oats, corn, and all kinds of
vegetables were either brought
or sent in to be exhibited, and
the awarding of prizes was no
easy matter, where there was
such general excellence.
Professor Cooper, from the
School of Agriculture at ST..
Anthony Park, was present and
assisted in Judging the exhibits
and passing on their general
character. He stated that lie
considered. the exhibit made by
the residents of the school dis
tricts in Beltrami county su.
perior in quality and mum Der to
those Of any yet shown in the
North half Of the state, and that
he was surprised at the liberality
of the business men in respond
ing to the appeal Of Superinterd-
ent Regan for funds for paying
prizes, over 5000 having been
given.
Roy Anderson Of Grant Valley
township secured first prize on
corn, Adolph Klein of Bemidji
second and Arthur Thompson OF
Buzzla third The first prize, for
wheat went to Josie Her manson
of Blackduck; Ida Youngman Of
Quiring, second; Carl Otterstand

Not what He Seemed.

Romance has flung deceptive halo
over the old yeoman farmer. He was
certainly not a good tiller of the soil,
but lazy, old fashioned and unenterpris-

fields so overgrown with weeds, as

Butteraie. That Live ON Fish.

The butterfly was blue and transpar-
ent. AS through blue glass it's tiny
heart could be seen beating inside its
body, and the professor read a news
paper article through Its lovely blue
wings. "This," he said. "is the ptero-
poda, a Mediterranean butterfly. It
eats fish. On its tongue are rows of
pointed hooks. They serve as teeth.
This beautiful creature would turn up
it's nose at garden Of roses and lilies,
but it would feast ecstatically upon a
putrid eel. Now and then pteropoda
is found on the Florida or the Califor-
MIA coast. 1t is only abundant. though,

HEWASPROBABLY INSANE
Old Man Wont To tho Attic SIM.
Old Man Went To the Attic Sun
day Night and Hanged
Himself.

James Reilly, aged 50, hanged him
self at his home in North Bennington
some time early this morning. He was
found by his wife who was in search
of him and according to appearances
had been dead about two hours OF
late he had been respondent and last
week was away for several days aud
friedds went to Troy to find him Ad
vancing years undoubtedly unsettled
his intellect
His wife after arising this morning
noticed his absence but thought that
he had left the house and did not pay
much attention TO that. Later she
commenced a search for him and upon
entering a room over the kitchen she
found the body in the center suspended
from rafter over the bed. Indica
tons were that he had deliberately
planned his own death. lie had sci
ected small rope for the purpose and
to prevent its cutting into his neck had
put towel around it, Tying the rope
around a rafter, after putting it around
his neck he dropped onto his knees
and choked to death
Mr. Reilly was born in Ireland and
was about IS years Of age He came
to this country over 80 years ago and
came almost Immediately to the Hall
farm at North Bennington and entered
the employ OF the late Gov Hiland
Hall as gardener. He afterwards took
the same place with Trenor w Park
aud continued there since the property
came into the possession Of Gov Nc
Cullough. He had served for two
Vermont governors and by them and
all who knee him he was esteemed
highly
OF late years his position had been
merely a nominal one, butinstructions
had been given that any requests or
desires OF his should be fully carried
out
Mr. Reilly is survived by wife, one
daughter Minnie and a sou william.
The announcement OF his death was a
great shock and surprise to the people
among whom he had spent SO many
years.

general would probably have resulted
in again pustponng the execution OF
Mary Rogers.
"Mr Lowell may not have realized
that there was anything wrong or i'm
proper In his actions 10 this matter, or
that it would in any way delay the
inal disposition of the Mary Rogers
case but it certainly showed very great
lack Of iudg ment on his part. Fur
ther the failure 10 capture an escaped
prisoner by the name of Clarke when
the evidence shows it might have been

fed the sheriffs OF other counties OF the
escape shows due lack of diligence on
the part of Mr. Lowell. In view OF the
short time he has held the Office of
superintendent and the efficient manner
in which he is now conducting prison
affairs we do not feel warranted in
recommending change of superinten-
dent.
1--WE find that the afidavts given by
+ w Cakes and Wilson Lowell in
the petition of Mary NJ Rogers for a
new trial we're misleading and tending
to deceive the court in that they did
not fully state therein the conversation
between Perham her accomplice and
M, L. u Elvrn hon attorpav nh ;nb
matter was the subject of said AFFIDAVIT
and that they contained but single
sentence OF said conversation whereas
if they had stated therein all the SUBJ
stance of that conversation they would
have shown an entirely different state
of affairs. Mr. Cakes and Air Lowell
may not have deliberately intended
to deceive the court but we feel
that this can hardly excuse men of
their intelligence and official position
from criticism for committing SO seri-
Gus an error.
The increase of the superintendent
salary now $1,000 is recommended at
the option of the trustees. The trustees
are found to have performed their
duties faithfully and the prison &C
counts are found all right. The report
closes as follows:

that we find no evidence whate yer Of
graft or dishonesty in the manage

THE CONGRESSIONAL CONTEST.
Windsor County Apparently Has a Leaning
Toward Piumley.

White River Junction, April -
Local politicians are predicting a
lively campaign in this country over
the nomination of representative TO
Congress in the second district
especially if the Hon Frank Plumley,
of Northheld, enters the field MIR
Pumley carried the town of Hartford
over Colonel Haskins and G A Prouty
of Newport when Hassius received the
nomination in 1902, and he still retains
his popularity.
Gov CD Bells entrance into the
field upsets previous calculations.
Congressman Haskins is the one who
will suffer In Windsor county, so the
old campaigrers say, if the three can
didates named for Congress keep up
the fight to the finish.

Guardian of Hermit Found S274O in His
hoVel

st Albans, April S-Royce A Smith
OF Greens Corners lies in weakened
and enfeebled condition owing to his
absolute refusal to take noSrishment
of any kind, and it is expected that he
cannot survive long. A little more
than week ago, Elmer Johnson who
had been the old mans lawyer was ap-
pointed guardian over Smith.
Mr. Johnson went to Smiths hoyel
at Green's Corners and instituted
search tor the old mans money. He
succeeded in finding secreted in various
places cash amounting to S2740. This
he deposited in the Weldon National
Bank at st Adams.
Smith who spent much time admiring
bis coin protested vigorously against
the procedure and since separated
from his money has grieved and wor-
ried himself into such a condition that
his recovery is doubtful.

CRISIS IN COAL WAR.

NEW YORK. April .. President

port that the operators at the joint
meeting this afternoon may refuse the
miners offer of arbitration and present

a board Of arbitration be appointed TO
ascertain If there are any new ques-
tons on which the mine owners and
the men differ. The union leaders have
been looking into this phase of the
question and are preparing to meet
such a counter proposition If made.
The miners claim there are many
new grievances which arose out of the
award of the anthracite coal strike
commission and which have not been
settled to the satisfaction of the men.
1t is quite certain, however, that the
miners committee will insist upon a
settlement of old grievances along with
any that may be found to he new
No information is obtainable to ac-
curately indicate what stand the OPP

different form from that offered by
the miners That the operators will
