set a new record.
Tbe State Fair board has appropri­

The

In the juvenile department the state

Tbe milk from these goats is valu­
able for tbe use of invalids, and there
is a great demand for it in hospitals.
The ebeeae made from the milk of tbe
Tog ger. berg goat sells for the highest
price on tbe market.
Mexion City—The executtoa of Wil­
liam S. 'Benton, a British subject, by
the eonstitcUonalists ia Juarvi ba.
revived the fear among tbe gm rm-
ment supporter» that the
United
States will be forced by Great Britain
to take action that easily might be­
come interver. tw-n.
Although since revolutionary con­
dition. a se em ed serious proportion,
three year, ago there have been killed
in various parts of ti e country some
ISO Americana, including participants
on both aides of tbe revolution, there
are on record tbe deaths of only four
Britishers, including Benton.
Tbe three others were killed in dis­
tricts where the chiefs of neither fac­
tion had ar.y direct authority, and
Benton's is the first ease where it ap­
pears that culpability may be placed
definitely.
