(From The Eveleth News)

In competition with farmer boys
from every county in Minnesota,
Charles w. Ripple, II years old, liv-
ing near Window, has won the Louis
w. Hill prize for the best essay writ
ten on 'The Minnesota State Fair
and its Object" The award was

fore the Minnesota State Agricultur-
al Society at its meeting.
The prize which Mr.. Hill offered
with the idea of broadening the edu-
cational advantages of the winner, is
a journey to Glacier National Park.
Young Ripple is looking forward to
the trip of his life. He will travel to
Natures Wonderland" on the "Roof
of the Rockies" next summer. He
already is enumerating the many
things he will behold for the first time
in his life-snowcapped mountains,
glaciers, forest trails, turbulent
mountain streams, land-locked lakes
with looking glass surfaces that re-
fleet the towering scenery perfectly
real Indians attired in their native
dress, cowboy guides in their pict-
uresque garb. Eagles soaring among
the rocky peaks, mountain goats
grazing high up on dangerous look
ing lodges, deer in the valleys and
maybe bear in the woods. While this
action picture is moving through his
mind, exciting great deal of ex-
pectancy he thinks the flora of the
park will be most interesting to him.
There are $50 listed wild towers
growing there and as he is student
Of botany he is determined to bring

rieties as he can gather from the
mountain sides.
Young Ripple has had a penchant
for writing essays ever since he was
able to put the letters of the alpha
bet together. He will write an essay
of his western trip for the papers of
his community, which see in him
coming literary genius Of no small
ability. Whether or not he ever be-
comes famous in this line for his
home papers to point back with pride
to the fact that it printed his :'early
efforts" the fact remains, the board
of state fair managers declare, that
what the youth writes today is good
enough for any newspaper in the land
to print. In commenting on young
Rippie's prize winning essay memb-
ers of the board declare it is to be a
model in clearness and analytical
thought. The contest was among

members of last years camp from
each congressional district in Min
nesota.

MERCEDES, A MARVEL

Mercedes, the magical musician. gave a very interesting demonstration of mental telepathy at Mayor Clifford B. wilson's office in the City Ha1l this morning. when he transmitted by thought waves the names of two pieces selected by the Mayor to his assistant, Mime. Stantone. piano player who was in Mayor Rdce's of flee in New Haven, and the young lady played the two pieces selected so that the spectators in the Mayors of flee could hear her over the eeie- phone.
 It was mystery to all who saw it how the trick was done. In Mayor Wilson's office witnessing the demon stration were Judge E. F. Hallen, President Fred Enos Of the Board of Trade F. T. Staples Iof the Bridgeport Trust Company, Andrew Cooper of the F1owland Company, Manager Harry L. Reichenb ach of PoH's theatre, where Mercedes will appear next week, and a number of newspaper men.

Investigation
 Demanded By
 Sen. M'Donough

Hartford, April 16.-Another Iegis- 1ative investigation is impending This afternoon, Senator McDonough intro duced a joint resolution calling for the raising of a committee consisting of one Senator and two Representatives to investigate the charge of Edward F. Coles of Hartford, alleged to have been publicly made before the cham Der of commerce banquet in Water bury to the effect that the attorneys in the general assembly have received retainers from the New York New Haven & Hartford Railroad Company The resolution went through the Sem ate but the House had adjourned be- fore it reached that body.
 Senator McDonough said that MT. Coles was formerly a clerk of the superior court and a lawyer of 20 years experience. He made the charge that the attorneys in both branches of the General Assembly were in ef- feet paid attorneys of the New Ha- ven road. The Senator said that MT. Cole claimed that the attorneys in each while those in the Senate receiv- ed $1,000 to look after the interests of the company. MT. McDonough said that he waived any intimatfon that he was aggrieved at the discrimination in the amount of money but he said
 
 great seriousness.
 He believed that the public should know the truth about the matter If there were any attorneys receiving any retainerS the public should know It and those attorneys of whom he was one who did not receive this aid the public should knew them. He be- 1ieved the integrity of the General Assembly had been viciously attacked. He said 1t was a rank injustice for a man of MT. Coles standing in the community to get up and make charges of this kind.
 He said that the attorneys in the General Assembly had decided that the best way to do was to make MT Cole either prove his charges or pub licly retract them and 1t was for this purpose he wished the committee rais- ed. The rules admitting the resolu- ton were suspended and the resolution passed.
 Senator McDonough said the object of this resolution was two-fo1d. First, to give this man Coles a chance to retract and secondly to compel him ito appear and prove that his charges are true or give the legislature a chance to make him publicly retract The Senator said that this was no statement of any boy but that it was given by a man with gray matter. He said he had put this whole matter be- fore the governor who had come out squarely for some action on. it and the resolution had the governors ap7' proval.
 MT. McNeil asked if MT. Coles was a legal man and MT. McDonough said he was sorry to admit that he was Mr. McNei1 said that the legal fraternity of late had seemed to have some of it's members afflicted with mental trouble.
 Senator Quinn said the resolution had his endorsement. The resolution was then adopted.
