To begin with, they must be put out

When the loose dirt Is out the furs

and furrters sawdust, mixed half and

the pieces must be put into this
cleanser and the sand and sawdust

Following this beating the fur
should be placed in a pan filed with
cornstarch or plaster Of paris, which
must be rubbed thoroughly into it.
After either whitener has been work
ed well into the pieces the furs must
again be put out Of doors and whipped
with n stick to get out the white dust,

by the different bidders on the decora-
ton of the new capitol, let the con-
tract to the William G. Andrews Dec
orative company, of Clinton, Ia. There
We're six bidders on the work.
The general plan is a color scheme In
harmony with the marble fnishings Of
the building. The art glass of the
rotunda has been selected to harmonic
with h general color scheme, starting
with light glass in the EYE" of the
rotunda, and shading imperceptibly into
the darker shades lower down. While
all the decorative schemes We're good,
Mr.. Andrews offered mural paintings
by such artists as Edwin H. BlaShfield
n Edward Simmons. There is to be a
picture by Blashfield in the reception
room of the governor, the work of that
artist being shown in the congressional
library at Washington and the state
buildings of Minnesota, Wisconsin,
Iowa and Massachusetts.
rive pictures are to be painted by
EdWard Simmons, whose work is in the
congressional library ard the state
sets. Another western artist who will
produce three paintings is Charles Hill

PLANT AT
THE PENITENT|ARY
SHOWS A PROFIT
State Hasn't Enough Criminals
to Make the Institution a
Big Winner.

Sioux Falls, S. D., Sept, 6.-Warden
Swenson, of the South Dakota state
~penitentiary, has made his first report
to the board of charities and correc-
tons upon the operation of the new
Irvine plant built this year at h peni-
Tertiary. Practically 10 work was
done the first month and q half. as it
took that long to acquaint the men
with their tasks and the machinery and
to adjust the machinery. However,
Swenson has counted that month and a
half in the period for which he has re-
ported. and he still shows d profit to
the state of 5000. Upon this showing
1t is hoped the annual profits from the
operation of the plant viii reach So. 900
TO s15,0 00. Still more could be realized
if the convicts were numerous enough
to supply q full force.
b authorities having the peniten-
tiary in charge have already discovered
the Disadvantages Of competing with a
trust. The International Harvester
company is in the Irvine business and
makes a practice of buying enough of
the supply to force up the market and
make 4 neat profit for itself out OF the
raw material bought by competitors.
For example. the price of sisal has gone
up in the last six weeks from about 5
cents laid down at the pe~nitentiary
here to about I cents. However. the
authorities have succeeded in buying
perhaps enough hemp to last through
the season at q considerably lower
price han mus be paid now.

The incident occurred Saturday morn
Ing as the girl was delivering milk to

denly came up to the girl and made the
attack; taking the pail of milk from

description. and was arrested, but his
