wards the organization Of an agrl-
cultural society in the winter of 1852
by some people in Benton county
down to the strenuous contest for
the control Of the organization early
in 1910, is contained in volume out
this week, known as History or
the Minnesota State Agricultural So
ciety." The work has been publish
ed under the supervision OF Darwin
S. Hall, former member OF the
board of managers, and has been
written by r.. l.. Holcombe OF ST.
Paul. The book contains nearly 400
pages, and is almost history OF
the growth of the state itself 1t is
beautifully illustrated with half
tones of men who have been con-
nected with the fair and with numer-
Gus pictures of scenes at the fair at
different times in it's history.
Benton County Society.
Although the Benton county soci-
ETY. was organized in March, 1852,
and the Ramsey county society the
same month, the first fair was held
by the Benton county society the
year following. 1t was not until 1854,
however, that the Territorial Agri-
cultural society was organized, and a
fair was held that year where
Bridge Square in Minneapolis is now
located After that fairs have been
held almost every year, one being
missed during the hard times in
1853 and two during the war. Fairs
were held in Minneapolis, st. Paul,
and other places, until the first fair
was held on the present site in 1885,
where fairs have since been held
every year except the year of the
Columbian exposition at Chicago.
The book tells of MinnesOta's ex-
hibit at the worlds fair at New
York in 1853 The legislature pro
vided for the appointment of com
missioner and made an apprOpria-
ton of $500, despite the protest OF
one member that $1,000 is not enough
for the commissioner whisky bill.
w. G.. lie Due was appointed com
missioner and he made the journey
by steamboat to Cincinnati via St
Louis and from there by rail- The
exhibit consisted of specimens OF
choice furs, wild rice, Indian articles
young buffalo bull, and samples OF
corn, wheat, rye, oats and barley.
C%nru of ptiffaIo
The buffalo was brought down
from Sank Rapids very peacefully
but once he got sight of the boat al
st. Paul it charged the bOatmen
knocked two of them into the river
and Frustrated half dozen others
before it could be secured.
At the fair the young bison snap
ped its tether and ran amuck in the
big stable, and LIE Due was reproved
for bringing the bison to the show
and threatened with arrest if he die
not remove it immediately. He sold
it to a Yankee, who intended to eX
hibit the animal, but the next
morning the Yankee was look
ing for, LIE DUO and demanding
the return of, his money. LIE Duo
hid and the Yankee disappeared
The animal called attention to the
Minnesota exhibit, however, ant
many people learned that Minnesots
was not too cold for corn and thai
it could raise good wheat.

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

by local applications. as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There Is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
inf1amed you have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed, Deafness is the result, and
unless the Inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its nor
NAL condition, hearing will be destroy
ed forever; nine cases out of ten are
caused by Catarrh. which is nothing
but an infiamed condition of the mu-
cous surfaces.

ed by the memory of his wife, whose
sunerings he mercirully ended by
sending a bullet through her head in
the wilds of the Canadian northwest,
miles from help, James Mcdowell. a
prospector and miner, is at the home
of friends at 2774 cambridge avenue,
the Bronx, a nervous and physical
wreck. He has been under treatment
but he is growing worse. lie says of
himself
How long I can stand it l don't
know"
Mcdowell granted the plea Of his
MORALLY injured wife to end her
agony. He was exonerated by a jury
of his fellowmen. The remembrance
of that awful experience has shattered
his nerves until he is now hardly more
than the wreck of man.
Mcdowell is ffty-eight years old, six
feet tall, and a gaunt reminder of what
was once a physically perfect man.
The thought that he killed his wife,
despite the fact that that was the
only course open to him, is with him
constantly, and his sunken eyes tell
of wearisome days and sleepless
nights. He is averse to talking of the
experience, but last night he consented
to tell his story.

been there some time before, and had
cut rough trail to the claim.
Fanny begged me to take her with
me. l demurred, as it was no place
for a woman, but she persisted, and
finally consented. We visited friends
in Calgary for few days, while 1 was
purchasing supplies, and then started
for the mine, five day journey by
mules. We had three mules, one fol

1T was almost twenty-four hours

thirty hours and was nearly insane

has been due to the ever vigilant efforts
of the local manager, Mr.. f. L. Bean.
who has moved his family to Brigham
and already made hundreds Of friends.
The general offices of the Baker Lum-
Der company are in Salt Lake City. the
Baker Lumber company being now
what was formerly the Sierra Nevada
Lumber company.
The Baker Lumber company has pur-
chased property sxl0 rods in the bust
ness part of Brigham City and it is tho
shed over the entire tract. 1t will
be- the largest lumber shed north OF
Ogden in Utah.
The company carries general limo
of lumber lath, shingles, cement. plas-
ter. fancy doors. sash. moulding. build
ing paper, roofing ana all building uc-
cesso;ies.
one OF the features Of its service Is
what Is known as special orders.
Heretofore in Brigham City it has been
somewhat difficult to get special orders
such rs odd sizes of sash windows, door
frames. and all sorts OF mill work with
anything like reasonable expediency,
but now the Baker Lumber company, on
account of its Salt Lake connections. Is
abo to deliver special orders at Brig
ham city on two days notice. This OF
ct4irse covers long felt want, es-
pecially in view OF the fact that Brig
ham City's houses are among the most
elaborate in the state and the best OF
mill work IS required.
Five men have been employed by the
Baker Lumber company to start with.
and more will be engaged as they arc
needed. Offices OF first class condition
VIII be erected and the business placed
on II permanent basis.
Mr.. Rean. the local manager, Is highly
pleased with Brigham City and has
himself already made plans for tho
erection of permanent homo in tho
city Of peaches and roses. Seldom has
n company started so auspiclously al
has the Baker Lumber company and
already it has n good share Of Brig
hams lumber trade.
