by Prof. Haralson of the state ex-
detrimental fruit farm at Lake Min
netonka. He expressed wish to
see some Of the country tributary
TO- Wil]mar and thru the courtesy
Of Mr.. Anderson Of the Anderson
Land Co., he was taken out Friday
morning in company with party
Of local gentlemen for a fifty mile
ride thru the southern part of the
county He was very favorably i'm
pressed with what he saw. on this
trip. !
The poultry department of the
fair exceeded the most sanguine
expectations of those who had
charge Of the arrangements. There
we're esslo less than 49, exhibits, and
they included some of the finest
poultry seen in this part of the
state. ThesPlymouth Rock, White
Wyandottes and White Leghorns
were especially fine. "a new, tho
roIy modern coops had been built
for the occasion, and they were all
filled. The poultry industry is be-
coming more and more important
each year, and the exhibit next
year will no doubt be better than
the one this year.
The floral exhibit which was a
new department at the fair was one
of its prettiest features. Grouped
about a fountain in the center of
the horticultural tent were masses
Of most beautiful blossoms. Brill
liant nasturtiums, shaggy asters al
most equalling chrysanthemuns in
size, and coloring, dainty sweet
peas, beautiful pansies, scarlet
Eeraniums, white daisies, brown
eyed Susans, g]adio'i. golden glow.
hydrangia and sun flowers, all of
these attractively displayed; and
then the wild flowers, baskets Of
them, bouquets of them, wild pur-
pie and white asters, golden rod,
etc. all arranged by deft fingers.
The generous prizes offered by the
fair management were an incentive
to make the best showing possible.
The result was most, gratifying and
the exhibit of flowers at the fair of
1910 was unanimously voted a
marked success. Beside the flowers
two plants attracted much atten-
tion, banana plant brought from
Mexico by John Mossberg, and a
Smyrna fig tree grown and exhib-
tied by Mrs. Henry Ames. A pret.
.ty little episode connected with the
flowers was the finding Of some
musk rats that were making nest
among the blossoms. They were
placed in a cage in bear hollow at
the miniature farm and kept till
the end of the fair when they were
liberated and went at once to the
flowers to begin another home
which shows that even the rats were
attracted by the beauties of the
floral exhibit.

Los Angeles, Cal, Jan. 11.-Glenn
H. Curtiss, who was completely
eclipsed by Louis Paulhan with his
spectacular feats on the first day of
the aviation meet here, today defeated
his French rival in a race for honors
of the day. Paulhan again won the
plaudits of the crowd with daring and
spectacular flights, while Curtiss
reaped more substantial honors.
Curtiss established a new world S
record for speed for an aeroplane. car

rate of fifty miles an hour. Paulhan
took up one of his mechanicians and
flew three miles, but failed to equal
Curtiss's speed.
Breaking three records of flights
with passengers, injury of an amateur
aviator and four aeropIanes in the air
at the same time, furnished exciting
finals to the afternoon.
Edgar Smith, a Californian, was the
victim of an accident. Smith was
tuning up his machine for his first at

Washington, Jan. 11.-After pass
ing the army appropriation bill, car
rying the sum of ninety-fiye million
two hundred Sthousand dollars, for
maintenance of the army during the
fiscal year 1911, the house today con-
sidered the white slave" bills
Opposition developed to a portion
of the measure adopted by the imm;,
grafton committee, which makes IT q
felony for any person to assist anoth-
er to go from one state to another
for the purpose of engaging in prosti-
tuition. 1t is contended that such &C
ton is a violation of states rights
which gives every state the right 10
regulate it's own morals. The bill un.
der consideration is aimed at the ex.
clusion of immoral aliens and ex.
elusion of their procurers. The Mann
bill simply enlarges upon the inter.
state feature of the pending meas.
nre to prevent "white slave traffic be.
tween states.
The immigration commission seeks
TO exclude from this country unde.
sirables, especially immoral women
and men who deal in this traffic. The
white slave" bill was still under con.
sideration when the house adjourned

ioning Hellman while she was taking
dinner with him in a Chicago restau-
rant Sunday night.
The woman then made lengthy
statement, in which she told of meet
ing Hellman in Chicago on Sunday
night and taking dinner with him. She
said that they had eaten some blue
point oysters, which apparently were
spoiled and that they had been made
for time very sick.
But We braced up on some medi-
cine,'' she continued, land when

reaching Terre Haute, l felt little the
worse for the dinner, and he appear

Gus effects. Naturally, l am very
much surprised to learn that he died
that night"
The woman was then cross-question-
ed by Inspector O'Connor and Chief
of Detectives Reynolds, and finally
the charge of poisoning Hellman was
brought against her.
1t was at this juncture that the wo-
man was turned over to the report
ers. 1t did not take her long to sur
mise who they were, and, rising, she
said:
Look, l don't have to tell you any
thing" and she didn't.

From Washington to Lisbon

While l would be very glad to so if
my government required it, | informed
the king that l had been very happy
here and every relation with this gov
ernment was most pleasant. Since

The minister was asked if anything
had occurred here which might have
led to his transfer. In reply Marquis
de Villalobar denounced as absolutely
untrue the story published yeste lay
to the effect that he had been the
lHading figure in an unpleasant episode
at the recent diplomatic reception at
the White House. On this occasion,
the story ran, the Spanish minister
was separated with the other minis
tcTs from the foreign embassies, and
that he resented this classification.

Washington, Jan. 1.-THE ancient
custom in the house of representatives
which has been in use for fifty years
was overturned today by Representa-
tive Dwight, of New York, the Repub-
lican whip, when he instructed the
pair clerks to cease pairing Repub-
lican members except under prescribed
conditions. The move is declared by
Democrats and insurgents" to he a
move against the latter and intended
to give the organization additional
leverage when close votes occur.
Garner, Of Texas, the temporary
Democratic, whip, stated that Dwight
had instructed the clerks to make no
PAIRS without his approval. This
Dwight denies, but the result was that
Garner invoked counter move,
hitherto unknown, and hereafter Demo-
cratic members will be required to
make their pairs in writing at the
speakers desk.
For many years it has been the
custom to allow pairs at any time,
without question. -
Under Dwights order he will be
able to control the voting of absentees
Or those desiring to@be paired, which
will not be to the advantage of the
house Insurgents" since he is work
ing with the regulars
The move of the Democrats, if sue
cessful, will result in limiting pairing,
as we'll as perhaps multiplying the eff
fort of the Republicans to embarrass
the insurgents" 1t will also aid any
insurgent under official dispIeasure by
enabling him to arrange to pair by
going to the speakers desk.
10 caucus of the house Republicans
on the Ballinger-rinchot committee
has been called. The Democrats will
probably caucus on the subject the

solidate the opposition or allow the

lot, dropping the lowest candidate on

Proposition to Separate Union
and Southern Pacific Railroads

today. Judge Lovett announced in ad
vance that nothing other than routine
business would engage the attention
Of the committees.
Nevertheless it was taken for grant
ed that yesterdays conference at
Washington would be very thoroughly
discussed. Some of Judge Lovett's
associates intimated that yesterday S
meeting had not been barren of re
suits quite satisfactory to the railroad
interests.
There is reason to believe that at
yesterdays meeting proposition was
considered for the separation of the
Southern and Union Pacific railroads
along the lines laid down by the gov
ernment in it's suit. This proposition
came from the railroad interests.
