The lsdies who represent the

Every year there are many com.
plants of poor seed corn. The
best plan to avoid loss in this way
is to test the seed in the house a
few weeks before planting. It is
not likely that SO much will germi-

fire ; but the result will show clear.
ly the proportion of seed that re-
tains vitality.

DIR. p. French, Formerly of this
City, Sued tor the Above
Amount.

John w. Roberts and Maggie E..
Roberts, his wife, with n. G. Dry
den and Hiram Moore as attorneys,
commenced two damage suits OF
5000 each against DIR. Pinckney
French in the Circuit Court yester-
day. The plaintiffs charge DR..
French with malpractice in treat
ing Mrs. Roberts in such a manner
as to cause a miscarriage. 1t Is al
legged that the Doctor, who had
been called to treat her generally,
failed to discover her true condi-
ton, and that of such failure an
abortion resulted; that he neglect
ed to attend her afterwards, or to
inform her of her true condition,
and by such inattention and neg.
lect caused her health to be de.
stroyed.-St. Louis Globe Democrat,
John w. Roberts, referred to
above, was seen by a LEDGER re.
porter to-day. He lives on the C
P. Wade place, just northwest o
Mexico. He says that in june
of last year, DR.. French performed
an operation on his wife, and tina
in two or three days an abortion
occurred. He says he has thu
dead wood on French and will
make him pay for it. He says hi
wife has never fully recovered
Friends of French say that tn
suit was instigated by a physician
of this city and others who do no
like French, and that there i
nothing in the suit but a bluff. w
presume all the doctors in Mexic'
and st. Louis and perhaps the en-
tire State will be witnesses. Thi
being a fact, the LEDGER would no
like to make any suggestion in re
gard to the merits of the case.

The Nude in Minnesota.

Ia AANAo -
A gentleman writing in regard to
the fun made of the law proposed
in Minnesota to forbid girls appear
ing on the stage in tights, says !:
"If a man ia seen on the streets
dressed az a woman or a woman
dressed as a man the police attend
to the case at once. If an actress
should be found on any street
dressed, o. %undressed, as she ap-
pears on the stage before the audi
ence she would be arrested prompt
ly. But if her appearance is indie
cent on the street, why is it decent
on the stage? 1t is said that ''to
the pure all things IRE pure" but
as quite a number of men and
women are not pure, and the num-
Der of really pure people is not
large outside of reporters, fne-art
workers and theatrical people, it
may we'll be questioned whether
these pure people should be favor
ed at the expense of those who are
not so pure.
If it is proper for ladies and
gentlemen to sit in a theater and
watch women who have only a thin
piece of fesh-colored silk between
the eye of the beholder and the
human body, why is it improper
for the lady who sits beside that
gentleman to dress that way in the
parlor? If the nude in art is heav-
emily and divine and worthy of de-
tense, why is the nude in nature
any less heavenly and divine?
And, now, if this letter ices day
light-as it probably will in all
fairness-this writer will be pound
ed to pulp with "honi soits'' from
beautiful ladies, high art gentlemen
and variety dive.keepers. But if
some of those will agree to discuss
this. question fairly and honestly
good may come of the discussion.
At any rate this writer stands by
the Minnesota legislature in its eff
forts to save the home from pol
Iution.v

Capt Brown Tells OF Colt That Promises
Great Running.
The last car load of Captain Sam Browns
stable of runners were yesterday shipped
from New York to Mobile, Ala, where the
horses will be wintcred. The Captain said
yesterday he wonld not work any of his
horses until next summer, and his object in
sending them South is to give them long
winters training, and to strengthen them
for an active campaign next season.
MY stables are in better condition now
than they have ever been," the Captain
said. 'My S-year-olds quit the past season
in elegant shape, and nv yesrlings promise
extraordinary work. But" the Captain
went on, his eyes sparkling with delight
and confidence, ~ have filly that promises
certainly to be world-beater 1t is a colt
by Katie A, by imported Richmond, and is
magnificent specimen of horse flesh. In a
trial week ago the colt finished three
eights of mile in :3S That, among the
runners, is looked upon as phenomenal, and
an confident the country will hear from
that colt about the time it stsrts with the .
vear-olds. ."
What will become of w. L. Scott's run
ners?" was asked Captain Brown.
They will be sold soon. The Scott
horses are strong and well bred. but Mr..
Scott never made much money on the track.
He made his money in selling valuable
colts from his $40, 900 sire. These colts al
ways commanded high prices, and many of
them are still on the farm at Erie The
Scott farm is likely to be abandoned for
breeding purposes. 1t is too far north and
the grass is too stiff and sour. Mr.. Scott
was always a successful breeder, however"

last night to take action on the leagues de-
cisions in throwing out their games they
honestly won against Med Donald and Bloom
field. The matter was discussed thoroughly,
and those present at last came to the con-
clusion that the Pittsburg club would not
under any consideration play another
league game unless the league reconsidered
its decisions and awarded the Pittsburg
team the games they had won. A resolu-
tion was sent into the secretary of the
league to that effect. Secretary Mcpherson.
of the league, was seen last night, and
stated he had received the resolution from
Secretary Pickard, of the Pittsburg club,
and, as he considered it a very important
matter, he intended to call special meet
ing of the league for Friday night next to
take action on it. Fred Goodwin, presi-
dent of the club, was in the chair.
