An Ifmpire's Peril.

The lot of the umpire of an amateur
base ball game is usually a very uih ppy
and likewise a dangerous one, says the the
Buffalo Courier. Ia contest recently
played in a town not many miles from
Buffalo between the home team and a
visiting club. the umpire was compelled
to decide several close decisions against
the local nine, ard though the crowd be-
came greatly excited, no harm befell the
autrocat of the diamond up to the last
half of the ninth inning, The score at
that iuncture was 8 to in favor of the
visitors, with the home team at bat. The
first man up got base on balls, the second
singled, and sacrifice advanced each IA
base.
A repetition of the four-ball act filed
the bags The next two batters famed
out, to the chagrin of the crowd who be-
gan to think that the umpire intended to
rob the home club of the game. The eli
max was reached when the third man had
two strikes and three balls called on him.
The excitement was at fever heat, for the
next ball pitched meant defeat or victory.
Straight as an arrow came the sphere to-
ward the plate, but as the umpire tremb-
ingly prepared to call the Third strike;
side Quit" the batsman swung around
with the club and Knocked the ball over the
fence. The sensation of JOY experienced
by that umpire was very joyous kind, as
he cGmprehended how near he had come to
deaths door. He never tires OF telling
the story, but AYERS that he will never
umpire anotl or ball game.

While there has been great howl by
the freetraders about the Mckinley
law, and the democrats have been rein
forced by the independents in order to
repeal it if possible, yet it is a law
more in favor OF the westesn farmer,
as a class, than any other law ever
passed. Does the western farmer
want the repeal of the duty of 80 cents
a bushel on flax, the old duty having
been 20 cents. Do western far
mers object to a duty OF 80 cents a bu.
en- barley? OF 40 cent a bushel on
beans? OF 5 cents a dozen on eggs !?

Epoch.

The transition from long, lingering
and painful sickness to robust health
marks an epoch in the life of the indi-
vidual. Such a remarkable event is
treasured in the memory and the agen-
cy whereby the good health has been
attained is gratefully blessed. Hence
it is that so much is heard in praiseof
Electric Bitters. So many feel they,
owe their restoration to health to the
use of the Great Alternative and Tonic.
If YOU are troubled with any disease OF

WISHES TO RETRAcr,
PletzhJoffgJ. the Exile. Will Recover
and Now Refuses to Confess.

PIERRE, s. D., Special Telegram,
Peter Pietzhjoftgj, the Russian who fell
from the electric light works, will undouLt-
edly recover. After his confession last
night, which implicated himself and high
Russian officials in the plot against the czar
two years ago, he was taken charge of by O
companion named Paul Scarovitchki and
taken to o room in hotel in this city, and
all attempts to interview or converse with
him were without avail. Pictzlljoflgi came
here last fall in the company of his com-
panion, and for some time seemed to have
no particular occupation. When the cleo
trio light company commenced work OH
their new plant he applied for work, claim
ing to be an electrician. He was given ell,-
ployment and proved to be highly edu-
Gated in all matters Of science and electric
ity. Both Russians appear to be gentlemen
of the higher classes and were
very reticcnt as to the past. They are un-
doubtclly living under assumed names.
Last night after the accident the PIONEER
PRESS correspondent was present, and the
injured man asked the physician if he
would die. On being told that his chances
were about even for life or death he asked
to make u confession and in broken En-
glish and in a weak tone of voice he told
his story. At the time it was almost i'm
possible to understand his ,nuttcrings, and
he was given al opiato with the under
standing that he was to make full con-
fcssion in the morning. Aftcrward his
friend got possession OF him and no one has
been allowed to see him since. Pictzl-
kjoffgj has undoubtedly been muzzled by
his friend, and upon being informed that
he will live refuses to talk and wishes to
rctract what he has said.

FROZEN WHEAT.
viii Not Produce a Good Crop Ac.
cording to Experiments.

viii Not Produce a Good Crop Ac-
cording to Experiments.
Prof. d. N. Harper, of the division of
chemistry, of the state agricultural expert
mental station has reported to Gov. Mer-
riam the result of experiments made by
him during the past season upon seed wheat
in the Red river valley in the northern
part of the state. The purpose of these cx-
pcriments was to determine the utility of
poor wheat or wheat not available for mill
ing purposes. for use as seed. The report
says;
seed in the spring of 1889, and the results
have been dependent upon the quality of
seed as influenced by the effects OF rust and
the extent to which the wheat was cleaned.
For example on the Auncs e. French farm
at French Otter Tail county, very poor
rusted wheat was harvested in 18S3-and, as
am informed, the poorest wheat in the
neighborhood OF Fergus Falls. This wheat
bushels but 400 remained for seed. Two
loads of the latter not seeded were sold to
the mill. Nhc first graded Northern; the
second, 2 Northern. The crop from this
seed, l am informed by Mr.. 9. ]. Wright,
manager Of the farm, yielded forty bushels
per acre"
to clean frozen wheat, and he emphasizes
the fact that good results can be attained
only by using perfectly clean seed wheat.
He says that, therefore, one grain of frozen
seed will render worthless that of many
grains of good seed. An examination OF
the analyses is conclusive proof that frozen
wheat caunot produce good milling wheat
And the results from seeding frosted wheat
have invariably been disastrous. The
heavy and frequent rains this year for all
unusual period, between harvest and thresll-
ing, has caused much badly bleached
wheat. This is poor wheat for milling on ac-
count ofthe bad condition ofthc bran, and it
consequently grades low. In some cases a
confusion OF the two cascs-trozen seed and
bleaching-has caused the farmers to over
look the vast difference in the crops from
good seed and frozen seed. Doubtless there
are many farmers who know themselves
destitute of proper seed wheat, and there
are many who do not yet realize it.
From the experiments conducted Prof
Harper draws these conclusions: A vast diff
ference as to their seed value exists between
the various kinds of poor wheat; rusted
wheat and blistercd (irosted) wheat if we'll
cleaned are safe to use for seed; frozen
wheat which is utterly worthless for milling
is1ikewisc ofnO value Tor seed. 1t cannot
produce good crop; the laore thoroughly
the wheat is cleaned the better the seed re-
sulting, and the better the crop-particu-
larly in yield; no wheat should he seeded
that has not been tested as regards its gluten
aud percentage of termination.
