people Of Georgia pay him between
$1,000 and $4,000 Of their money per
annum to drive a pair Of fine horses

tried in MilledgevilIe by partial

say that they are treated very badly

FOR WEST THIS suMMER-ALL
THE RAILROADS ARE BUSY.

THE Alaska Yukon exposition means
more to the travelling public of the
northwest than any osher event in
the history of this section of the
country This was the statement of
a well known traveller in the lobby of
the Waldorf this morning as he was
waiting the arrival of a train to take
him to the western part of the state.
Already great Improvement has
been made in the train service on all
OF the roads and there is still more in
store in the next few weeks, he con-
tinued. Trains that are taking care
of the coast traffic have been re-
equipped and improve in every pos
sible manner This Is not only true
of northern lines, but central roads
are putting on new trains to take care
of the people headed eastward. And
in the meantime the travelling public
gets the benefit of the best service that
is possible to give"

RUMORED SIMPSON
MAY CHANGE PLEA
POSSIBLE THAT coLoRED MAN
WILL DECIDE TO PLEAD GUILTY
WITH, PROSPECTS OF GETTING
THE LESSER OF THE PENAL
: TIES PROVIDED. az. .y.s

1t was .ruInored on the. streets today
that there is a possibility that Edward
W.. Simpson, will change his plea of
not guilty to the charge of murder
in the first degree, to guilty, making
a clean breast of the deal with the
hope. of securing the mercy of the
court in getting the lesser of the two
penalties of hanging or life imprison-
ment
Atty. T. c. McEnroe would neither
affirm nor deny the story and. for
this reason still more credit is given
the report. 1t is stated that in chang
ing his plea, Simpson would stand a
good chance of getting the life SEN
tence as a reward for the shooting OF
Charles Clarke about a. month ago
While a plea or guilty would ex-
pedite matters to some extent, this
would not necessarily avoid the ser
vices of a jury. 1t was stated by
Asst. States Atty. w. S. starnbaugh
that even though the defendant chose
to confess. that the district court judge
might call in a jury to fix the penalty,
according to North Dakota. law. In
this case it would be up to twelve men
whether the rope should be pressed
into service

THRESHER MEN PUT
a
BAN ON ALL FAIRS
GENTLEMEN'S AGREE MtENT
AMONG THE MANUFACTURERS
WILL RESULT IN NO RIGS BE.
ING DISPLAYED AT ANY EX-
POSITION IN THE COUNTRY.

If the gentlemen's agreement enter
ed into by threshing machine manu-
facturers holds good, there will be
no more rigs displayed at fairs and
expositions in any part of the coun-
try. The fact leaked out in Fargo
recently and has been affirmed by sew
eral managers.
While for years there has been sucTl
a movement on foot among a class
of threshing rig manufacturers, yet
there were sufficient outside the circle
to break up the compact. The result
was that some very fine exhibits were
seen at the various fairs.
1t is understood that the agreement
has been perfected to such an extent
this year that not a single rig will be
displayed. Farmers visiting their ia
vorite fairs will be forced to call at
the machinery depots in the uptown
districts If they desire to see the lat
est model engine or the newest de-
signed separator.
This agreement will effect not only
the northwest but the entire country
where threshing rig displays have
been made. In case one OF the manu-
facturers should bolt the agreement
a line of advertising would be received
which would be hard to beat
