AGRICULTURAL AND INDUSTRIAL
EXHIBITION IN IORIOLA

Tho foil wing notice Of this useful ex,

The seventh Agricultural and Industrial
Exhibition held under the ausp ccs Of the
Imperial Department of Agriculture for the
West Indies was held ut the Experiment
Station, Tortola, on Wednesday, Decem-
Der 14jh.
The general character of the exhibits was
good, and the competition in some Of the
classes, notably, the i've stock and cotton,
was very keen. The entries were not quite
as numerous rs on SOME previous occasions,
but, on the other hand, there was m all
round improvement in quality,
In the class for lots Of cotton Of not less
than 500 lbs. there were Ave eutries mud
some really excellent samples of cotton were
shown. The first prize Of SO (Siven by
His EXcellency Sir Bickhem Sweet-EscottD
was awarded to John Chimney, of Jost-
Van. Dycks. There was also keen competi.
ton for the prizes for smaller lots.
Lines, sugar canes, sugar and traits were
but poorly represented, doubtless the long
drought Of the summer months accounts for
this.
Undoubtedly the people are grasping the
meaning and intention Of these Exhibitions,
and, equally undoubtedly, they are having u
stimulating and educational effect
The weather was very upfnvourable,
heavy rain falling ul the morning, this,
however, did not prevent a good attendance

In distance Of planting cane, the prime
object is to obtain the greatest amount in a
given area and with least cost. A series of
experiments was carried out with a total Of
eighty-one plots of 1I20-acre each, for the
purpose of determining the amounts of cane
produced when planted 10 by 10 feet,
y by II feet, and ) by ) feet. The plant.
ing5 were made in series of three plots each
adjoining each other. The preparation WAS
the same in each case and the cultivation
similar, as far as the nature of the planting
would permit. The wide planting neoessR-
rily permitted of longer cultivation than the
marrow planting, not only with ploughs but
also with hoes. III estimating the results,
it should be borne in mind that the widor
tie planting the greater the expense neces-
sary in bringing the crop to maturity. This
is by reason of the fact that grass and weeds
grow longer in wider paintings than in nnr-
row ones where the ground is sooner shaded.

A couple of very Agreeable hours were
spent at the Theatre yesterday afternoon,
where was held an entertainment by the
children OF the Communal Schools. The place
was crowded with children and a number OF
spectators, who enjoyed the exercises which
consisted of recitauons, dialogues, gloes, flag
drill, action songs, etc, which the littI" ones
all did heir best TO render nicely and in get
ting up which the teachers must have had
some trouble.
A feature Of the entertainment, the
feature it may be said, was the group
OF u boys and gnJ who rendered
very nicely indeed lengthy recitations, dIa-
logues and songs, concluding with a march
and flower drill which was very pretty.
These were all in Danish, and it is no exag-
g~erption to say that it was the most inter
estiug, doubtless because it was the most
elaborate, and perhaps too because 1t was
something new for strange as 1t may seem,
it is the first time that we remember such
an exhibition of Danish school-exercises, and
which gave good promise of what can with
we'll directed efforts be accomplished In this
line. On conclusion of the entertainment

of Lawyer Chr. Bugel and tender our condo
Ieuce to the family on their sudden and
great bereavement. The announcement of
his death, which occurred shortly after noon
yesterday, was startling the deceased, though
not en- ying health lately, having been out
up to the day before. He was So years Of
age, about the half of which were spent in
this community, in which he was held in
high esteem, and in whose welfare
he took a deep interest, having been closely
identified with both its public life and its
private institutions. IN the Colonial Coun-
Gil he represented the people for several
terms, not long ago having the honor Of
being appointed It's Chairman, and i'll his

Word Received Today of Death of
Former keokuk Resident, Who

Many.

one Of the leading surgeons in he
east.
He was good citizen, good man
and a good father said c. A. Mo
Namara in speaking of him this morn
ing. "A good business man, modest
and retiring. but not recluse. He was
highly intelligent and it would do vol
good to hear him quote history, for
he was great reader and well retain

historians. A native of Ireland he
still cherished love for his native
land even after coming to this coun-
try and was a great Nationalist. Some
years ago he made trip to the old
country, visiting many places of inter-
est still cherished by him, among
which was Dublin, the city of his
j birth. He left Keokuk, it must
have been sixteen years ago and re-
turned but once, that being when he
came west to visit the worlds fair at

of his life he made his home with DR..
John In Brooklyn. Mr. McEvett was a

HEALTH AND HYGIENE

It was a very pleasant gathering of
the educational committee of the
Young Women's Christian Association
yesterday afternoon at four o'clock.
Plans for the opening of the spring
term of the educational classes of
the association were planned, the
second semester to commence the
first Of February.
Some new and delightful features
were planned for the second term
which it is thought will meet with the
approval of all and will be of much in
terest to our lady readers, especially
those among the high school young
ladies and members of the Y. w c. A.
Plans though only starting to formu-
late at Yesterday afternoons meeting
of the committee will materia,ize
shortly and will be presented to those
interested.

speakers who will be secured for the
purpose of speaking on health and

two health talks and the remaining
three of personal interest to young

Il is Thought That Brother of keokuk
Man Who Met Death was
Victim of Foul
Play.
MET TWO FAIRFIELD MEN
They Might Explain Why He Started
for Des Moines Instead of
Fairfield-A Few
Details.

The parents and relatives of the
late, Robert Norris, of Keosauqua,
brother Of Van Norris, of this city,
who was found with his neck broken
and face confused beside the railroad
track half a mile south of Lovilla, a
short time ago, fear that he may have
been foully dealt with.
1t will be remembered, says the
Keosauqua Democrat, the parents and
relatives of the late Robert Norris,
who was found with his neck broken
and face confused beside the railroad
track half a mile south of Lovilla,
fear he may have been foully dealt
with It viii, be remembered that
Norris had $24 at Ottumwa the day
before his DEATH and only 50 was
found on his body Also when last
seen by any of his acquaintances he
said he was going to Fairfield, but
when he met his death he was going
in the opposite direction, his destina-
ton evidently being Des Moines.
Chas. Haney of this place went to
Ottumwa with Norris, but returned
the next day on the train leaving OF
tumwa at about 10 a. m. A. l.. Fluke
of this place was in Ottumwa and met
Norris and Haneg the evening they
arrived and was with Norris the next
day until about o'clock when he took
Wabash train for Bloomfield.
/ Fluke says Norris told him all the
time that he was going to Fairfield
4 and they went together to the union
depot to inquire when Norris train
would depart. About this time two
men overlook Norris and Fluke and
/ engaged in conversation with them.
They were acquaintances of Norris,
1 being from Fairfield, as Fluke under
stood, where Norris worked last sum-
mer. Norris did not introduce them
! to Fluke, and hence Fluke does not
know their names, and he didn't
notice their clothing closely enough
to describe them SO they could be
4 identified, but he would know them
Y il he should see them. He thinks the
men were broke. Fluke left Norris
in the company of these men. If these
men could be found, they might ex-
plain how it happened that Norris,
instead of going to Fairfield on the
II p m. train went in the opposite
direction, and possibly might explain
several other things which the friends
of the unfortunate young man would
like to know. 1t is thought by many
/ that these men ought to be located,
and the mystery surrounding young

possible
