BIGGER PRIZES
Horse, Sheep and Cattle Shows Il
Minnesota State Fair Favor
Breeders ut Home.

AsAsAshs~1~~ssA NSASAtS- - eAbt = - ~ -
Breeders ut Home.
Minnesota exhibitors of horses,
cattle, and sheep have a greater
opportunity to win premium
money at the Minnesota State
Fair, Sept. 8 to II, than breeders
from outside the state. This
special inducement Is offered BY
the State Fair in order to encour-
age the breeding Of more good
horses, cattle and sheep through
out the state.
Premium money offered for
these three kinds Of animals Is
divided into two general parts.
One part is offered in the ~ Open'
classes, in which animals from
anywhere may compete. The
other part is offered in the Min
nesota' classes, in which only
animals from Minnesota can
compete. Thus Minnesota breed
ers not only have as good a
chance to win money in the
"open' classes as any other breed
ers but they also have an op-
porunity to win money in the
Minnesota" classes where COM
petition is much less keen.
As a result Of this handicap,
Minnesota breeders Of sheep,
cattle, and horses owning farm
animals considerably inferior to
those exhibited by outside breed
ers can win quite a bit more
prize money. Especially is this
true when there happens to be
very little competition in the
Minnesota" classes. There have
been instances when Minnesota
breeders unable to score q single
victory in the open" classes
obtained more money than most
any of the exhibitors from outside
the state.
A general appreciation Of this
advantage, according to livestock
is certain to result il 4
bigger Minnesota exhibit of
sheep, horses, and cattle at the
Minnesota State Fair this fall
than at any previous time.

DUQUETTE
From Our Correspondent.

Carroll Stephenson Of Duluth,
spent Sunday here.
Mr.. and Mrs. DeLong were
business visitors here Saturday.
Mr.. and Mrs. Ed. Duquette
made a short visit in Kerrick
Monday.
Several people are looking over
their land interests in this vi
cinity.
Gust Trump is with us again,
having come up from the Twin
Cities about a week and a half
ago.
In honor of Mr.. and Mrs. Bur-
Lesson of South Dakota, who are
visiting here, their relatives, the
Martin Johnson family, held q
big picnic at Oak Lake.
The school pupils are having
their final examinations this
week. They are spending their
spare time cleaning up the school
premises and setting things to
rights.
This is the last week of school;
and pupils and teachers welcome
the coming vacation. A picnic
will be held on the school ground
Friday, June 4th. All expect to
have a fine time.
1t is to be hoped that regarding
the coming election, the "drys''
will not become over-confident.
The VETS are going to put up
a pretty stiff fight, 50 let us do
our duty on election day.
1t is the ambition of our teach
ers to make the Duquette School
one of the best in the state. Our
school can be one of the very
best if we cooperate with the
teachers in their efforts.
In the six lessons in cooking
the girls have been very success
full in making omelets, mullins,
cakes, etc. As they have been
exceedingly generous about shar-
ing these goodies with the boys,
the lecture on "Ingratitude" will
not be Forthcoming from Mr..
Frost.
The manual training boys have
made a number Of useful things
for the school this year--two
work benches, two tables for
domestic science, two sets of
book shelves, two towel rollers,
a cupboard and a hanging rack
for the domestic sciense girls
aprons. A sand table will be
completed before the close of the
term. Considering the size of
the class (eight boys) and the
fact that manual training work
did not begin until March. the
boys have been "goin some."
After a weeks postponement
the Duquette Neighborhood So
cial club met at the school Satur-
day evening, May 22. The big

sion a success. Altho summer is

ourg last week making arrangements
Tor the hearing.
III ADDITION to the Governor. the list
Oh witnesses includes practically every
oihcchoider in Spotsylvania County, as
wen as many men prominent in State
poitics. The investigation may con-
'inue Tor Two wekes or more and scs-
sions may be held at Spotsylyania
courthouse and other points in Judge
Chichester's circuit. in order to suit
the convenience of witnesses from the
several localities
delegate Powell created sensation
at the extraordinary meeting of the
General Assembly in March, when, dur
ing debate on the tax bills he CHARGED
Judge Chichester with using his iu-
diciai position to build UP political
machine in Spotsylvania County. The
following day he presented written
charges. which were referred to. the
House Committee on Courts Of Justice.
The committee heard both the accused
jurist and Delegate Powell. and. after
each had insisted on a legislative in
vestiEation. the House instructed the
Speaker to appoint n committee to take
up the charges. The date for the be-
ginning of the investigation was set
for August two months ago.
Specifically, Delegate Powell alleged
that Judge Chichester had appointed
a deputy treasurer of Spotsylyania
County member Of the electoral hoard
in violation Of the law; that he had
named other appointees at the behest
OF the courthouse ring" and that
former County Judge r. f. Waller was
appointed Commemorative Attorney

Powell was candidate for the last
named position. The personal charac.
ter and judicial integrity of Judge Chi
chester were not attacked
The judge denied any corrupt infu.
ences had governed him in making the
appointments complained of, and In.
sisted on full investigation of any
and all acts in his official capacity. In
some quarters Powelrs charges were
regarded as fiimsy and vague, and the
investigation was opposed by many as
a useless expenditure of State funds

HIS BROTHER FROM BLAME
Luther Canter. an older brother of
James, died in the electric chair on

younger brother was convicted of the
same crime but when Luther made his
confession to his spiritual adviser just

clared that James was innocent and
had nothing to do with the murder.
