North Dakota's fine state exhib-
it which Commissioner Gilbreath
has been showing at the big east

awarded the first prize for state:
exhibits at the big Illinois state,
fair held at Springfield last week.
The Illinois State Journal i'm
speaking of the exhibit says:
North Dakota had an exhibit at
the state fair last week that was
viewed by thousands of people
and pronounced by all to be one
of the finest at the Illinois state
fair. This exhibit was devised by.
Commissioner Gilbreath of North
Dakota as a means of attracting
attention to that state. 1t is COM
prehensive, in that it gives the
visitor knowledge of the varied
resources and has attracted so
much immigration to that state.
and outside capital has enlisted to-
the development of the state.
Those who have visited the ex-
hibit have been interested in the
fine samples of grain which have
been displayed. Samples of hard
wheat, both spring and winter
we're to be seen on display; fax
samples, of which North Dakota
raises two-thirds of the output in
the United States and which has
brought so much wealth to that,

The University Law School,

The Law school of the Univer-
sity has total enrolment to date
of II. This is an increase of
eight over the enrolment at the
same time last year. When the
University Law school raised the
entrance requirements from two
years of high school work to the
completion of the high school
course and increased the course q
year, making it a three year
course instead of a two year
course, a large failing off in at
tendance was anticipated. Under
these conditions the gain is
extremely gratigifying.

KERMIT LOST IN
AFRICAN W|LDS
Spends Night Riding Over
Unknown Region Hunt
ing Succor, but Finally
Reaches Railroad and gets
Direction.

Nairobi, Brstish East Africa, May
15.-It was learned here early to-
day that Kermit Roosevelt lost his
way from his fathers camp near
Machakos last Friday and spent an
entire night alone on horseback, rid
ing through region unknown to
him. On Saturday morning he
turned up at Klsuva station, on the
railway, inquiring there the way
to the camp. He was given the de-
sired information.
The region in which Kermit Roose
welt is reported to have been lost
lies between the Athi river and the
Uganda railway. Kiu, where he
finally found himself, is about fifty
miles below Nairobi, and thirty or
forty miles southeast OF Machakos.
There is IA old cart road from
Machakos to XIII, but otherwise the
country and region Whereabouts is
very sparsely inhabited by natives
of the Wawamba tribe, a peaceful
people, engaged chiefly in agricul-
ture.
Theodore Roosevelt, accompanied
by his son, kermit, arrived at the
Ju ia ranch OF George Mcmillan to-
day They came from their camp
at Machakos. They will remain at
Ju ia from four to ten days, ac-
cording TO the luck they have in
hunting buffalo, warthog and water
buck. At the conclusion Of the Wis
it with Mr.. Mcmillan Mr.. Roose-
welt and his son will come 20 Nairobi
The porters Of the expedition will go
straight south from the Ju ia ranch
to avoid the smallpox here.
Mr. Roosevelt and Kermit will
spend few days in Nairobi, and
then leave to rejoin the expedition.

Americus can sell night beer on

gia cities to which this blessing CD
is extended. Only the cities can dish

country towns are thus barred of

Only towns with a population of
$500 people are among the elect, and
this population must be based upon
the government census of 1900 No
recent school or city directory census

The sale is forbidden in Waycross

WHITE TOLD
OF CRIME
Negro Caught and Now In
Jail Here
Tells Story of Intentions
on Sunday Morning
at DeSoto

Securely locked in his steel cage in
Sumters jail Joe White, black, a De-
Soto negro, tells of the heinous crime
he was bent upon committing at l
o'clock Sunday morning in that little
town and from which he was only de-
terred by the sight of a rife in the
hands of a little boy.
The little fellow was too small to
fire the rife, even had it been loaded,
which it was not, but the brutal ne
gro didn't know this, and ran from the
house.
1t was a case of intended criminal
assault and White tells the whole
story of the attempt
Shortly after l o'clock Sunday
morning one of the most estimable
ladies of DeSoto was awakened by the
rude opening of the window blinds at
her head. Looking in that direction,
she saw the head of a negro thrust in
side, as he was about to enter the
room.
The lady aroused her little son and
told him to get the gun, at the same
time taking a look at the peculiarly
shaped head of the negro standing at
the window

Feet Fitted Into Tracks.

She had already described to Sher-
iff Feagin the unusually narrow fore
head of the negro seen at the window
as well as his clothing Sheriff Fea-
Gin then made White put MS bare
feet into the footprints beneath the
window, as we'll as those made in the
field
"Them's my tracks, Mr.. Feagin; |
made them" White stated, without
hesitancy.
Securing this and other incrimin
ating testimony, Sheriff Feagiu
brought White on to Americus as rap
idly as possible and landed him in Jail
The attempted assault was made at
l o'clock a. M, and before o'clock
the brute was behind the bars. White
has told exactly what his purpose
was, had not the lady been aroused
from sleep as he opened the shutters
at the raised window, thus awaking
the inmates.
White is about 80 years old and has
been working on a farm almost in
the town limits, and is known to many
citizens there.

FORTY CASES
OF PELLAGRA
Reported To Exist at ILL.,
nOiS Asylum
Patients Were Thought
To Have Been Boiled
Alive

Peoria, H., Aug. 1.-two mysteri-
Gus cases in which patients at the
Bartonville insane asylum were said
to have been boiled to death in bath
tub by careless attendants were clear
ed up with the announcement of DR..
c. H. Lavinder of the United States
Marine Hospital Corps that the pa
tients evidently died of pellagra.
That peculiar disease, mostly due
to use of mouldy corn, causes the
body to assume an appearance SINH
lam to one that has been scaIded to
death. The fact that both patients
died in bath tub full of water is
said to have been a coincidence.
DR.. Lavinder found forty cases of
pellegra in the Bartonville asylum,
confirming the diagnosis of Supt. Eel
Ter and State Health Commissioner
Egan.
Dr. Zeller issued an order forbid
ding the use of corn at the hospital
until arrangements are made for
thoroughly drying all corn products
used at the hospital. In 1904 patient
died in bath tub at the hospital and
the books show boiled to death" The
case created excitement throughout
the state
The patient boiled to death" in 1907
was in charge of Anna Newton, a
nurse, who for alleged negligence was
discharged. DR.. Zeller recalled this
nurse and she is preparing to renew
her work

At sight of the rifle in the hands of

of his peculiarly shaped feet in the

other tracks into which his bare feet
fitted later.

DESIGN OF MONUMENT TO
WOMEN OF THE SOUTH.
Work of Nashville Lady Has Been

Atlanta, Aug. 16.-Befitting in no.
bility of conception and beauty of eX-
ecution the subject it is to commemor-
ate, the design for the monument to
the women of the Lost Cause" has
been completed. 1t is the work of a
Dixie girl, Miss Belle Kinney of Nash
Vile, Tenn, and has been accepted by
several states. 1t is probable that
all the states which left the union in
the Civil War will adopt the design
and that replicas of the monument will
be placed in the capitol of each.
