The two counties from which most of the
exhibited articles come- are I'oltawattnmlo
and Mills. Tbo former county has nil Its
products arranged in ttio west end of the
room , while. Mills occupies the cast.
The tlrst thing that Mi-Ikes ono on en
tering Is a magnificent array of fruits and
flowers In the center of the room , the work
of L. A. Casper , D. J. Smith and B. S.
Hoover of this city. John Wilcox has quite
an array of produce from his Turin east of the

Mills county also makes a good showing.
It la becoming better known each year as a
fruit rinsing bcctlon , Hon. John V. Stone

also superintending the exhibit hero. Dur
ing the past year ovor2KH ( ) bushels of npples

The change which wns mentioned In TUB
DP.I : n any or two ago In the management of
the Grand hotel lias not yet been mode ,
owing to the excellence of N. W. Tnylor's
staying qualities , and Jmt now there seems
to bo jomo uncertainty as to when It will bo
mndo. C. U. Hannan , receiver of the
Klinball-Chnmp Investment company , sent
word to Mr. Taylor on Monday that ho had
loused the hotel to O. W. Clark ol Denver ,
nnd that he would bo expected to hand over
the kovs to the new proprietor at once. Mr.
Taylor did not sco fit to do so , and yesterday
the district court wns called uiion to Inter
fere. An order was Issued by Judge Smith ,
requiring Taylor to leave In three davs , or
stand the consequence * , which were painted
In the usual graphic colors of a court docu
ment. Mr. Taylor now states that he docs
not bellovo that nn order of the courts
amounts to any moro than an order ot a pri
vate citizen , and ho may pay some attention
to it , and than acaln ho may not. In talking
about the tnnttcr ho Is very backward about
saying anything as to bis leiral grounds for
holdlnc on to the place , but ho has consulted
un attorney , who advises him to tnlto the
stand bo bus. In the course of a few days ,
when the order af the court hni had time to
get In Its work , something Interesting may
take place. In the meantime Mr. Clnrlc Is
on the ground ready to take the management
of the hotel just as "soon as the receiver can

sirable locations. f
Mr. Croan could not express any opinion
as to where tbo school would llnnlly go. The
pcoplo of Shcnandoah are very anxious to
keep It where it is , us it is about all the town
has to keep , and a strong fight will undoubt
edly no made against Its removal. Prof.
Croan , however , believes that the growth of
the school Is hindered to a certain extent by
its being located in so small a town , nnd ho
Is willing , provided the necessary arrange
ments can be made , to strike out for a now
Hold. Ho will bo in the city again on Thurs

KV.NSAS CITV , Mo. , Doo. 8. Sensational
features marked the opening address of SV.
II. Wallace , attorney for ox-City Treasurer
William Pea Ice , who Is bomg tried in the
criminal court on the charge of embezzling
fJS.OJO of the city's money. Mr. Wallace
said ll'O dofonao proposed to show that the
city treasury was robbed by thu clerks In
the ofllco , all of whom had boon
In the habit of gambling. When Mr.
Peako needed money on his salary account
ho would take It from tbo cash drawer and
substitute a ttcuot. The dofnnso would show
that these tickets bad boon raised from
small to great auiounts. For Instance , ono
ticket for i r > had boon raised to $7-5 , and the
defense would show who had so raised the
tlckeu. All the clerks hod frequented a
well known gambling resort during their em
ployment In tbo city treasurer's oftlco. When
ihoy needed money they would abstract it
from the cash drawer nnd add the amount
stolen to ono of the city treasurer's tickets.
The evidence of the defense today wai confined -
fined to the proof that Mr. Pcako's character
was good. _ _
