anger at the woman for talking to
Riley and when she left the two mei

heard to pass between them, beng
quickly followed by two pistol shots

CONDITION ABOUT THE SAME
No Change Noted in Condition of MIR.
Marriott Mr.. LolOV Recognized in
Custody OF Mr.. Fowler.

Mr.. Francis Marion, the young actor
who was accidentally shot and serious
" wounded at the Phares boarding
house on Market street on Friday
morning by Nj. David LabOv, both be-
ing young men connected with the
King Stock Company, lies at the
James Walker Memorial hospital with
little noticeable change in his cOndi-
ton. It cannot be stated what his
chances for recovery are.
Yesterday afternoon, in an affidavit
witnessed by Mr.. J. J. Fowler, Mr..
Marion stated that tie shooting was
purely accidental, that there had been
no dispute of any kind between HIM
self and Labov, and hat the relations
between them were cordial.
On this affidavit and also on the
| testimony Of the only witness 70 the
occurrence, the mayor last night re-
| cognized Labov in the custody OF MIR.
!. J. Fowler, city clerk and treasurer,
for his appearance for trial on Mon
| day. Mr.. Labov was brought up from
| his cell in the city prison early yes
| terday afternoon, where he had been
| placed on Friday night, and was given
| the freedom of the police court room
| His incarceration is regrettable, be-
| cause no one considers anything but
| that the shooting was accidental, and
MI. Fowler in taking him to his home
| is proving himself a rare friend to one
| deeply in trouble, although he had
| never known Mr.. Labov before yes

PLANS TO ESTABLISH
 PERMANENT FAIR.

New York, March 1S.-A perma- nent national fair to contain exhibits from every state in the Union and to be housed in a $14,000,000 building in this city, is being planned by some of the state societies having head quarters here. The plan includes a continuous exposition, comprising the best features of worlds fairs of the past and also luxurious club rooms for the state societies.
 Congress at the next session will be asked to appropriate $5,000,000 toward this enterprise and each of the state legislatures will be asked for $200,O00 The leaders in the movement, which began in the Mich igan society, say they have already been assured by many members of congress, and by several state legis- latures of support of their plan, and
 they believe they can carry it through.
 Robert C. Aud, a member of the Michigan society, is one of the advo- cates of the plan. He said Sunday:
 "The building will not only serve the practical business interests of the states, but it will at the same time be an enduring monument to the idea of statehood as conceived by the framers of the constitution. Once il

ly the spreading OF manure; more to
know ofcrop growing than the simple
act Of putting the seed into the
ground.

composed Of men who have not only
had a good practical training on the
farm, but have also spent many years
In the Agricultural College and Ex-
pertinent Station finding out those
things that will make farm work more
profitable and farm life more pleasant.
We want you TO come because we be-
lieve you win be a benefit TO the Col
lege, and because we believe we can
