lady Rivals Fight.

Misses Gertrude Hogan and Lizzie
Spears are said to be the prettiest,
smartest and. most attractive young
girls in Lincoln county, West VIZ
ginia. They reside about twelve or
fifteen miles from Hamlin. The girls
were at one time fast friends, but
that is not the condition of things at
this time. The personal attractions
of the girls brought many suitors 10
both. and the contest for conquest Oh
hearts between them, beginning IN
pleasant rivalry, at last ended IN
bitter enmity, and when a short time
ago Miss Spear succeeded in making
conauests c her rival, Miss Cert
rude challenged Miss Spears TO mortar
combat, and fired five shots at her'
Very few women can shoot straight,
and luckily for Miss Spears, MISS
Hogan was no exception to the rule'
The shots all went wild, and so did
Miss Spears, who later in the day
appeared before a justice and got
warrant to restrain Miss Hogan from
further attempts to scare her to death
or shoot holes through her new hat.

THE SUGAR BEET.
n the state Agricultural College Has
to Say on the Beet Crop.

to Say on the Beet Crop.
1t is now time that the various plats
of sugar beets throughout the state
were Trimmed and hoed and the ground
put IN the best possible condition for
the growth of the young plants. The
thinning may be expedited by hoeing
first as close to the row as possible.
Then it is absolutely necessary that
each ROY should be gone over separ-
ately by hand. The beets are now
all to be removed excepting enough to
give n plant every four to six inches.
In leaving the plants it should always
be the aim to leave the thriftiest and
most vigorous growers. Great care
must be taken that two plants are not
left growing side by side, as it often
occurs that two plants will grow up
together and appear as only one. If
they are both left neither will reach
~perfectioni
The late and cold rains during the
spring have been unfavorable to the
beet crop, not only in this state but
everywhere. From France, Germany
and Russia the same backward con.
dition is reported. The termination
of the seed was much delayed by the
cold rains and in some places where
the ground was slightly slOping some
of the seed was washed out while
other portions were buried too deep.
But what was worst of all was the
crust that formed over the ground.
BY digging through this crust the
young plants would be found growing
around and around in a spiral seeking
to emerge into the air above. Any
little crack that would afford egreSs
was diligently sought for by the tiny
plant struggling to free itself. This
was a yer strain on the plant even
though it finally did succeed in COM
ing through. Its vital forces were
much weakened. But this same state
of affairs is reported everywhere.
The stand will be in many cases
irregular. But it does not make any
difference about the necessity for
thinning. All punches in these irreg-
ular rows must be thinned just as
carefully as in full rows.
A little good, careful work now
with the experimental plats will go
far towards making up for the late
spring. The ground must be kept
mellow and this will go far toward
removing the GOODNESS of the soil.
Neither must the weeds be allowed to
choke out or even shade the young
plants. The beet delights in the sun
shine, therefore the ground must be
kept clean.
1t is probable that the beets will be
late in ripening this fall. But just as
soon as they begin to approach matur-
ity analyses will be made and ample
warning will be sent to all growers in
the state. One bad mistake i'm the
past year has been made in sending in
immature samples. When the sugar
beet has made its growth it still needs
to stand inthe warm sunny ground in
order to finish the process of making
sugar. There is not much sugar in
the beet when it is growing. The
sugar is made after growing has
ceased. The last few days in the fall
are worth more than a month at any
Other time.
Growers are, therefore, cautioned
not to harvest their beets until they
receive notice from this Station.
Give the plats good care and we may
still reach good results.

Unsuccessful Sabbath Suicidal At

About2 o'clock Sunday, when all
the neighbors were at rest in solumn
sIumbers, one Billy O'Brian,a carpen-
ter and heavy indulgent in the for
hidden beverage, tried to kill himself
Immediately after a game of cards.
1t seems that's Bill O'Brian
was In Leimgruber's saloon at the
corner Of Nacogdoches and Bowie
streets, about 2 o'clock Sunday MORN
ing, and was engaged in game of
"seven-up" with three of his compan-
ions. Later he took drink, which
boys, saying he was going to bed his
room being directly back of the saloon
on Bowie street. In few moments
the occupants of the saloon heard
loud noise, seemingly coming from
man in deep distress. They ran to the
rear and found that 1t was coming
from the direction of O'Brianis sleep
Ing place. They entered the room
aud found him on the floor in
a pool of blood and groaning
as If he ha been shot. They made
investigation and found that he was
cut on the left hand in several places,
and few slight slashes on his arm,
the weapon being knife used by
himself in the terrible deed. When
asked what his object was. he re-
piled: al am killing myself boys"
The companions doctored him as best
they could and left, leaving one of
their number in the room to watch
him. Not more than five minutes
later he began applying the sharp
steel in the same effective manner
and again inflicted several gashes.
He was searched then and the knife
was taken from him. Young Leim-
gruber, thinking that the affair was
becoming quite serious, ran for q
police officer and in short time
Officer Seffel arrived, who took the
bloody victim to the police headquar-
ters. When they arrived at that
place he was questioned and it was
found that he had been drinking
very heavily the day previous and
all that night and that his actions
were caused from the liquor effects.
He was turned loose when partly re-
covered from his jag and went to his
room and prepared his tale OF woe"
for the next outing.
O'Brian is q man about thirty
years of age, q splendid companion
when sober and his only fault is
drink. He is good carpenter and Is
at present engaged at the Boelhauwe
factory on Nscogdoches st. He did
not work today.
