We Notice From Our EXCHANGES

That the Order of the Blue
Goose, a fraternity of the insurance
men, recently held its first annual
state outing at Big Stone Lake.
That several people down at
Cheyenne Junction had snakes last
week. Martin Gustafson killed
two near his house Tuesday, Mr..
Johnson. west of town, killed one
almost ON his doorstep Wednes-
day, and last Sunday Mr.. Becker
killed one in the east part of town.
That certain long distance
weather forecaster says July rain
fall will will be almost exactly OPP
posite what it was for May and
June. Where those months gave
least rain, July will give most and
where they gave most July 8. 18,
and August |. Most severe wea-
Their will occur within the FIVE days
centering on June ~, July 4, 10,
and August I.
That Doane Robinson, super
intendent of the department of his
tory. division of vital statistics,
has submitted his annual report to
the governor. 1t shows that dur
ing the year 1910 there were 49,
SIS births; 4,o41 deaths. 5,4o7
marriages and 5I1 divorces. OF
the births in the state there were
nearly 400 more males than fe-
males. Pneumonia leads the list
as the cause of death, there being
ass deaths from this cause, 300
from old age and 2o7 from tuber-
culosis.
That the coroner's jury, which
investigated the death of John
Steffes, who died of knife wound
received in quarrel at Stroll, re-
turned verdict holding Helmer
B. Jorgenson responsible for Stef-
fes' death. Only two witnesses
were examined. Mrs. Stefes and
the physician who attended Stefes
after the latter received the wound
which caused his death in an Abb
erdeen hospital a few days later.
The quarrel which led to the stab
bling of Steffes by Jorgenson grew
out of an accusation by Steffes that
Jorgenson and Mrs. Steffes had
been unduly intimate. Mrs. Stef-
fes was arrested after the stabbing
as we'll as Jorgenson, but after an
investigation she was not held as
as an accomplice.
That the rainfall in the vicinity
of Sioux Falls, for the three years,
from January to June rs, was as
follows: In 1909. 1881 inches;
1910, 7.o7 inches; 1911, 1884 inch
es. That the rainfall thus far this
year has been greater than during
the corresponding period of last
year will be a surprise to many.
The figures show that the total
rainfall from January I to June IS
of this year was but little more
than half what the rainfall was
during the corresponding period in
1900. The temperature also has
varied greatly this year compared
with the average temperature dur
ing June, 1900. The average tenn
perature for June 1900, was 81;
for 1910. IS, and for 1911. o5, this
having been the hottest June for
II or IS years in this part OF the
northwest,

No Clue To The
 Robbers Who Got Away With $3I5,OOO

New Westminster, B. G.; Sept. 16-- Although no new clues had been un- earthed, this morning, as to the where abouts of the robbers who footed the Bank of Montreal here of $315, ,000, word reached here from Vancouver, today, that the police there believe the men are hiding in that neighbor- hood All the financial institutions there have been warned to keep a sharp lookout for new banknotes of large denomina tions and to make a record of their serial numbers, the officials of the bank believing the rob- bers can thus be traced.
 There are two ways by which the robbers could have reached Vancou- yer, yesterday morning. They could have driven there in an automobile Or have gone down the Frazier River in launch. The finding of a broken down automobile just outside of New Westminster indicates that they pur- sued the former course, at least part of the way. This belief is partially confirmed by reports that an auto mobile was seen near the robbed bank shortly before yesterday morning.

 Mrs. Joseph Phillips, whose hus- band died yesterday from toadstooI poisoning, hovers between life and death today. The daughter-in- law, Mrs. Rose Phillips, is much improv- ed, and physicians this noon believed her out of danger.

In his early days he was a conspicuous figure in the military ssr- vice of his native land He served in the standing army for several years and was picked for the. high honor of serving in the Kings Guards the crack company of the country He preserved his uniform when he cont pleted his military service, and in the elaborate funeral arrangements now being made by Carroll & Richards. the accoutrements he used to wear as soldier will figure prominently. The funeral is to be held Monday.

Say Marx Can't
 Leave Sanitarium
Judge Curtis De eide s Against Aged Petitioner Who Claimed to Be Un- lawfully Detained.

Rafael Marx must return to pr. McFarlaIldPs sanitarium in Westport. This is the decision handed down to- day by Judge Howard J. Curtis of the Superior court. Judge Curtis held two hearings on a writ of habeas corpus obtained by Attorneys Lavery & Finklestone, who claimed Marx was being unlawfully detained in the san itarium.
 Much sensational evidence was heard during the court sessions Marks lawyers declared their client was sent to the sanitarium by his son. in-law, Sigmund Hirschberg. They alleged that Hirschberg put a mort gage on Marks property and used the money to pay Hirschberg's debts. The son-in-law denied this. He testified that Marx had threatened him and had become so violent that the family feared to have him in the house. Sev- eral physicians testified that Marx was lncurable and Dr. Diefendorf de- clared the old man was sane
 In, his decision Judge Curtis said: '.I find the issues against the peti- tioner, Rafael Marx, and he is re- manded to the custody of Dr. D. W. Mcfarland, to be held under the com- mitment of the probate court"

RAILROADS GET BUSY WITH THE SUPREME COURT Try to Head Off Committee from House of Governors, Pleading for States
 Rights Judge Sanborn's Decision, Nullifying Minnesota Two Cent Fare Law Bone of Contention.
Special from United Press,


 New York, Sept. 16.-With the governors of the many states repre- sented at the House of Governors at the Spring Lake conference uniting to fight before the Supreme Court of the United States for the right, of the states to fix traffic rates entirely within the borders of the single states, the railroads are preparing to urge the court to uphold the decision of Judge Sanborn nullifying the Min nesota two-cent fare law.
 Judge Sanborn's decision was her. aided by the railroads as guarantee that the Federal government would protect capital engaged in transporta- ton against restrictive laws passed by state legislatures. With the decision came increased activity in railroad riccles.
 The governors asserted their ac- tion was merely for the purpose of by the highest court They all ad- mitted, however, that should the su- preme court uphold the Sanborn de- cision, the states would be reduced to mere provinces of centralized power"
 While the Minnesota case will be the first with which Governors liar mon, Ohio; Hadley, Missouri; and Aldrich, Nebraska, the governors committee, will have to deal, similar cases involving the rights of the state railroad laws of Missouri Kansas, Oklahoma, ssnd Nebraska are before various coufts and the decisions in these cases will determine the right of all states to fix their own traffic rates.
 Railroad officials refuse to discuss the governors action until their legal departments have agreed on some united action to oppose that of the governors. One official said, how ever:
 Should the Minnesota decision be upset, a serious blow would be de- livered to the transportation interests of the country. The Interstate Com merce Commission has the power to decide what reasonable rate is, one that will result in a fair profit to the railroads Should the states be per- mitted to- lower the reasonable rate established by the Interstate Com merce Commission, they may entirely wipe out the profits of the rail- roads,
 Even the appearance of the three governors merely in the capacity of lawyers arguing before the supreme court for the rights of the individual states as opposed to the powers of the states united, is situation new to the country's history. The gover- nors asserted that if their action had been novel it was none the less sane and necessary.

PHOTO SHOW AT CITY LIBRARY
 SEVERAL DAYS
Splendid Exhibition Now at Steeplechase to Be Shown
 to the Public
U. F. Haley Successful in Eff. forts to Retain Art Works
 a Few Days More

Bridgeport citizens are to be given -a chance to see the greater part o1 the beautiful photographic exhibition shown at the convention of the Pho tographers' Association of New Eng land, which ended in this city yes terday.
 The photographs which have occu- pied the big ball room at Stepelechase are to be transferred to the art gal 1ery of the Public Library building, ! and win be exhibited there for time next week
 This step was brought about yester- day, thanks to the activity of Photo grapher John F. Haley of this city. assisted by President. J. HI. Garo of lfhe association and Carl Alderman of the Photographic News.
 While the majority of the Library board are away from the city the plan was approved this morning by isecretary w. T. Hawfland, and ar eanxements. were at once made for .transferring the exhibits to the H. fbrary. The public exhibition will be iopenod on Monday if the library can lbe prepared in time.
 The Idea occurred to Mir. Haley yes- terday that the fact that the conven- ton was at Steeplechase Island rath- CT than in the ctty's center, had de- tered a number of Bridgeporters from seeing it As 1t will be many years before there is anything of the kind dn thfs city again Mir. Haley deter mined to attempt to secure the exMbi- tion for a stay in the art gallery of the Public library building.
 To bring this about was not as easy as might be imagined number of the pictures were destined for Port 3and Me, where an exhibition is to be held. and were already on their way there. The Curtis collection of Indian pictures is not shown around very much-in fact the Photographers convention was their first public ex- alibition of the kind. Then the gum prints by Goldenslzi and Garo are in snch demand elsewhere that 1t is hard Ito secure their exhibition for an ex- tended length of time
 Not daunted by these difficulties. AEr. HalaV went to work and was p3oased to find . spirit of hearty CO operation upon the owners of the pho toETaphs. The wires were made busy and MT. HaIey wac assisted by MT. Alderman and Mir. Garo with the final result that everything was fixed. the public will have a chance to sec them at the library next week.
 Most of the Photographers and ex- hibftors at the convention left town Hast night and this morning. All praised Bridgeport and it's hospitality, and especially the hustling executive board of the association, which labor ed to make the convention here such a ouCce9g r

TOADSTOOLS CLAIM TWO MORE VICTIMS; BOTH IN
 A CRITICAL CONDITION
Young Barber and His Wife Eat Supposed
 Mushrooms--She May Die
Widow of Victim Who Died Yesterday Hovers Be- tween Life and Death-Daughter-n Is
 Impro ving

Upon the heels of the death here yesterday of George Phillips from toadstool poisoning, Virgilio Salerno, a well known barber with his shop at 262 Grove street, and his residence at PAS George street, and his wife, were both rushed to St. vincent's hospital today with the same trouble.
 Salerno's wife, a bride of a few months. has been in delicate health for several weeks. Yesterday she gathered what she thought to be mushrooms and prepared them for the evening meal. The two feasted upon them heartily, and late last night were taken ill. Dr. Nicola M ,Sansone, who had been called to the Phillips home in Commercial street, early in the week, was also called to the barber's house.
 He found both of the victims ser fously ill, but Mrs. Salerno's condition was diagnosed as more serious owing removed to St. Vincent's hospital in

Judge Upheld
 In His Ruling On Labor Law

Meriden, Sept .16.-"The bill to re- quire mercantile establishm ents to post the schedule of working hours for women and minors as is the case in manufacturing places, was passed in concurrence"
 This item in the General Assem- bly's doing has proved interesting and somewhat amusing to Meriden law yers. It effectually sustains recent decision of Police Judge Fay, of this city, which attracted wide notice, and is taken by the legal minds to mean that in the numerous cases through out the state where merchants were penalized for not posting notices, there now may be something doing. Iecidentally, tAis section by the Lseg- fslature puts feathers in the fall hats of Attorney F. T. O'Brien and Assist ant City Attorney George A. Clark.
 It will be recalled that Factory In- spector George L. Mclean caused the arrest here of Julius Katt and George Hartmann, confestioners, charged with violations of the labor laws and so cocksure to rest his case on their failure to post notices in their stores.

Police lmpound
 Lost Automobile
Machine Lying Unclaimed Two Days in Side Street

Abandoned for two days in South avenue, just east of Main street, Cadillac touring car several years old, but apparently in good running order if supplied with fuel, was taken in tow by Chauffeur Jack McGirr with the automobile patrol wagon, this forenoon, and lodged in the rear of police headquarters while an effort is under way to find the owner.
 The car bore the Massachusetts li- cense number 28101. Beneath the seat was found an operators license which expired several weeks ago, bearing the name of Ernest A. Dean, and the address 56 Newton street, ChicOpee, Mass. The serial number of the car is 549 160.
 Through the Massachusetts authori- ties the local police are trying to solve the mystery of the abandonment of the car.
 Report of the theft of a Cadillac car from Springfield was received here yesterday, but the license numbers do not tally with the description given by the Springfield authorities.

Detective Sergt. Haux To Supervise
 Beni|Ion System
Selection of Commissioners Is Generally We'll Re
 garded

Eqiupped with knowledge supplied by two weeks of practical training from experienced men in either Bos- ton, or Washington, Patrolman Geo. A. Haux, who is soon to become a detective sergeant will be ready to take charge of the contemplated Ber- tiIlon bureau at police headquarters within few weeks
 At a meeting of the police commis- sioners last night Haux was selected as the choice of the commissioners to have charge of the important branch of police work. Haux was ordered to the detective bureau. He has been a policeman for 10 years, with an ,un- blemished record as a patrolman.
 The Bertfllon system is an elaborate means of identification of criminals. The photography and measuring will be in sole charge of Haux It is the plan of the commissioners to put to this use a small room on the second floor of the Police & Charities build ing, which adjoins the regular meet ing room of the Police commissioners.
 President Hallen and Commissioner Miller have been authorized by the board to make the necessary expen- ditures for the installation of the sys- tenn.
 The commissioners expect to peti- ton the common council to amend the ordinances so as to allow the addi- tion of detective sergeant to the pres ent detective bureau, and when this is effected Hapx will be regularly elected to fill the place. Meanwhile he is to be in plain clothes supervis- ing the equipment of the Bertillon room and preparing himself to handle it.
 The selection of Patrolman Haux for this position comments itself to all familiar with his ability and the needs of the department. Haux is a son-in-1aw of Superintendent Birm- ingham. During his 10 years of ser vice he has worthily emulated the ex- ample set for him by the head Of the department.

SANFORD SCHOOL AT BEDDING IS
 BURNED TODAY
Fire Starting in Open Fire Place Completely Destroys
 Main Building
School Will Be Opened on Time in Another Building and Burned Structure Re placed.
Special to The Farmer.)

Bedding, Sept 1s-The Sanford school at Bedding Ridge. one of the best known private preparatory schools in the State. was burned to the ground between 2 and o'clock this morning by fire that for a time threatened several nearby buildings. Undoubtedly. it would have been a conflgration but for a fortunate rain fall and lack of wind.
 Not daunted by this catastrophe just before the time for the opening of the fall term, Principal Daniel Sanford this morning made arrangements to conduct his school in the former John Close house, and the fall term will be opened Sept. 6, as announced.
 The fire is believed to have origin ated in large fire place in the center of the building. The school was in sured for $2,5O0 and the loss will ex- ceed that considerably. The burned structure was about 125 feet long and two stories in height.
 Two hired men employed by MT. Sanford occupied upper rooms in the school building. Shortly after 2 o'clock they were awakened by smoke. Cropping their way down stairs they found a bad fire raging in the cen ter of the building. They made their escape without harm but were none too soon, for the flames would short ly have cut off their exit
 The school was equipped with an excellent water system. but the fire had secured too good start to be checked, and the building was quickly a mass of flames. It was burned to the ground.
 Directly across the way is the home of Representative Edward M Bradley. The scorching heat and sparks un- doubteddy would have set fire to this house. and likewise to the Episcopal which had wetted down the roofs and walls of the building, Lack of wind also was a feature in preventing the spread of the flames.
 Early spectators at the scene mo- ticed the smell of gasoline, and this gave rise to the ruInOr that the fire was of incendfary origin. This theory is not generally accepted, however, and 1t is believed that the flames which a hearth fire was burning yes- terday. The fire place base was of concrete and the lining was of Nasbes- tos and metal, but 1t Is believed that the flames in some way managed to get around these obstructions and eat into the walls. The fire seemed to have started in this portion of the building.
 Principal Sanford today made ar arrangements to open his school on time in the John Close residence The gym nasium of the school will be used for an assembly room. In the meantime building plans will be formulated at once and new structure will rise, probably on the site of the old
