UNIQUE EXHIBIT FOR
JAMESTOWN EXPOSITION.

Philadelphia, Pa, Jan. "A corps
of workers interested in historical
research headed by Professor Maluen
Dexter Learned, of the University of
Pennsylvania, are preparing for the
jamestown exposition an exhibit
which must prove highly interesting
for it will be a fully illustrated his
tory of Pennsylvania and will have a
permanent value. Upwards of 100,-
600 documents have already been
examined and maps discovered illus
trating the period of 1860, when the
state was under the Swedish and
Dutch influence before the arrival of
Penn. A map of 1915 viii show the
extension of settlement from Penn
sylvania through the Blue Ridge val
ley into the valley of Virginia, There
are number of other maps equally
interesting and the work will include
manuscripts, photographs and other
historical objects. The work which
Is pushed forward rapidly is receiving
great assistance from Governor PEN
uypacker and members OF historical
and antiquarian societies.

.SA|S WILL HANG
FRIDAY, JANUARY Il

Socorro, Jan. 9.-The execution of
Carlos Sais, who murdered in a most
brutal way Prospectors Mclaughlin
and Billingslea, will take place here
on Friday, Jan. IL, at o'clock in the
afternoon. Twenty-three persons
only will witness the proceedings,
among these being the officers charg-
ed with the work of carrying out the
sentence, and the physicians whose
presence is required by law.
Preparations for the hanging have
already begun under the personal di-
rection of Sheriff Anecito c. Abeyta,
who, it is anticipated, will pull the
trap at the final moment. The scaf-
fold itself is being set up beneath a
passageway which connects the court
house and Jail and it will be COM
pleted tomorrow.
AS the time for his execution ap-
proaches Sais shows signs of losing
his nerve. He refuses food and the
indifference which formerly charac-
terized his demeanor is rapidly giving
way to terror at the approach of
death. No effort has as yet been
made to secure for him an extension
of time, and it is not expected that
any favor of this kind win be grant
ed him.

was "A very large number of exhibits
at the annual convention of the
Cheesemakers' association here to-
day and some very practical address,
es on dairying subjects by prominent
agriculturists. II. Il. Watrous, of the
Citizens Business league in the course
of a heightened address gave a full
history of the cheese industry in this
state. The lecture illustrated by pic
lures provided by Mr.. Baer a promi-
nent cheese manufacturer. Mr..
Watrous in the course of his address
explained that Canada was far ahead
OF the United States In cheese pro-
duction, but explained that Canada IS
production was mostly consumed in
England and the continent of Eu-
rope, where it was driving the famous
cheddar and cheshire brands of Eng
land out of the market. Today's ex-
hibits will be judged by Canadian
experts and tonight the prizes. which
are valuable, will be awarded.
