Experiment Station Display.

A great many exhibits were added
to the fair on Thursday, Department
r., Agricultural products, Prof. Buffum
supervisor, being put in good shape.
The university makes a large and ex-
~ceptionally fine display this year, con.
sisting of grains, vegetables, photo
graphs, etc. This section is never en-
tered in competition, but its extent and
value increases every year. Indeed, the
entire department is a striking exem-
plifcation Of the marvellous possibili-
ties and future of this region. An in
spection of the list of premiums award
ed in this department gives but an in
adequate idea of its extent and value,
and the throngs of interested visitors
each day must be very encouraging to
those making exhibits.
Some Nice Fruits.
In Department G.. Horticulture and
Horticulture. Prof. Nelson, supervisor,
there is a good showing of fruit, an ex-
hibit OF small fruits being an appre-
ciated novelty. 1t is evident, however,
that the storm of Sunday interfered
with the entrance of floral displays,
which is much to be regretted, as new
er were the flowers of the county more
brilliant and luxuriant than this year.
Machinery n Implements.
In Agricultural hall are also placed
the large and creditable displays of
farming machinery, harness, saddles,
etc, shown by the W. H. Holiday COM
pany and the Laramie Grocery COM
pany.
King Brothers display wool in vari-
GUS forms, the exhibit being a great ad-
dition to the contents of this building.
The Photographic display which was
prepared for the Good Roads conven
ton in Missouri has been viewed with
interest.
University Students Work.
Department L, Manufactures, Prof.
Gilkison, supervisor, is very good. The
cases of student work from the me-
departments of the university
are a credit to the institution.
Prof. Reed, supervisor of Department
NJ, has a fine showing of Wyoming

EVANSTON RoBBER
CAUGHT AT SALT LAKE.


Sheriff Jones of Evanston, Wyo., will
arrive in Salt Lake today to take back
with him Bert Walters, an alleged rob,
Der, who has been wanted in Wyoming
for a long time, and who has managed
up to the present to keep out of the
way of the pursuing officers, says the
Salt Lake Tribune. Walters, it is
charged, committed a series of rob
berries in n about Evanston about a
year ago, and has since, it is thought,
spent most of his time in Utah. A
short time ago Sheriff Evans of Tooele
county got on his trail, and on Tues,
day arrested him. He was brought to
this city and is being held for the Wyo.

PLANNED IN LETTERS.
Murder of steunenbers Wa. Plotted at
Headquarters Of Miners FEEDER.
alton, II Is Believed.

Boise. Idaho, Feb. PA story IA
published here to the effect that let
ter written at the headquarters Of the
Western Federation of Miners in Den
yer was the foundation upon which
the detectives worked to secure the
evidence which will be used against
the prisoners now charged with the
murder of former Governor Steunen-
berg. This letter, it is said, was adj
dressed to member of the federation
in Silver City, Idaho, but he did not
call for it. and detectives secured the
missive. 1t is expected that this let
ter directed the assassination Of Steun-
enberg and as an encouragement to
the act referred to other crimes which
had been committed and the perpetrat-
ors of which had escaped punishment.
The name of the person to whom the
letter WAS addressed is withheld. Other
letters from the Denver office Of the
federation are said to have been in
tercepted, and it Is said that these let
tiers have been used in securing dam
aging statements from one of the pris-
oners under arrest.
The prisoners, Meyer, Haywood and
Pettibone, are confined in separate
cells. They are permitted to have
books, but no newspapers, and they
are allowed to consult together once
each day in the presence of officers. i

BITTER SCHOOL Eight.
As Result a Decision Is Made in Favo,
of Teachers.

Pierre. S. D., Feb. 23.-At the re-
quest of State Superintendent Ramer,
Attorney General Hall has rendered
decision to the effect that no county
superintendent can compel the at,
tendance OF teachers at a county in
stitute held outside the boundaries of
the county in which they are teaching,
and further holds that the county COM
missioners cannot legally allow bills for
the eXpenees OF an institute held out
side the county boundaries. 1t has
been the custom in some sections Of the
state or several counties to join to-
gether to hold longer institute than
could be afforded by one county, the
expense being paid jointly. The de-
cision will prevent any further such
Joint institutes being held. The de-
cision Is to cover a situation in Rob-
erts county, where several of the teach
ers refused to attend an institute held
1T Simpson Park, in Grant county, and
The refusal o the county Superintend-
Ent to grant them certificates to teach
pn account OF their action. This ac-
ton on the part OF the superintendent
has brought on bitter school light in
that county in which sides have been
taken by the two political factions, and
out Of which most of the editors of the
county are either answering to libel
suits or are threatened with having
such suits brought. 1t is likely that
The decision the attorney general may
somewhat clear the atmosphere, as tie
basis of the whole wrangle is practic-
ally settled by his decision and is in
opposition to the position taken by the

FARMERS vlcTIMlzED.
iwindIer Now Returns with Demand
for Contract Money.

for Contract Money.
Big Stone, S. D.. Feb. 19.-The COM
mencement Of suit at Ortonville. di-
rectly across the river from this place,
reveals that a number of farmers In
this region were victlmized by q
smooth swind1er who made trip
through here last September. The
Swindler called on great many farm:
frs and represented to them that he
had "sure cure' for lumpy jaw on
tattle. His plan was to leave a sam
pie" package with farmer, taking the
latter's receipt for the package and
making the farmer the agent for the
company's patent medicines. Later tho
farmers who were victimized received
consignments of goods, which were
followed a few days later by
bills, one of them amounting to $148.
in this particular case the farmer re-
fused to pay the amount of the bill
and suit was commenced against him.
AS the result of the trial it developed
that instead Of signing receipt for a
sample" package, as he had supposed,
the farmer had in reality signed a
cleverly written note in addition to an
order for a large amount Of useless
medicines, including barbed wire lini-
ment, heaye cure, condition powders,
Egg producers, calf dehorner and SPAWN
cure. Exactly how many of the farm
ers were victimized is not known, as
some of them are believed to have
quietly paid the bills and charged the
amount up to profit and loss rather
than fight the case and have 1t re-
Yealed to the world that they were
easy marks"

Mr.. Green declares that so far as he

however, that in some way the outrage
may be traced to the recent order of the

English speaking miners should be en-

men who were discharged by Mr.. Green as
the result of this order must have sought

some time ago for Mexico to study min
ing conditions and methods there, has
Just written Interestingly concerning
business conditions and the discrimina-
ition In the Mexican tariff against the
United States products. He says that
Mexican tariff varies according to
where the goods come from, and the
consequence is that there Is tariff
retaliation on the products of the
United States and that Mexico discrimi-
mates against US every time. He says
that this Is not generally known but
that England, France, Germany and
even Belgium are outstripping us in
trade with Mexico. Mr.. Small says
further. that at Tampico he saw eleven
huge liners in the harbor from the coun-
tries just mentioned and even one from
Norway, but not one from the United
States. and that further. the custom
house was literally full Of European
merchandise and not one case with the
