SENDING OUT THE SEED.
Tests of Sugar Beet Culture to Be
Made I'm Minnesota.

AS the result of steps taken by officials of
the Minneapolis & st. Louis road and other
interested parties during the last few months
looking towards extensive experimentation
to determine as to the practicability of estab-
fishing beet sugar industry in Minnesota,
100 pounds of sugar beet seeds are now being
put up in packages at the Commercial club
preparatory to distribution.
The seeds arrived but a day or two ago
from New York, having been imported from
Germany. They are being put up in packages
of four ounces each, and will be sent to be-
tween 300 and 400 farmers along the line of
the Minneapolis & st. Louis road and in
other portions Of the state, where conditions
are thought favorable for beet culture. Ac-
companying the packages will be circulars
printed in various languages, giving instruc-
tions with regard to the proper method Of
cultivation.
The work Of experimentation along this
line will be supervised by one of the travel
ing freight agents of the st. Louis road, and
from the number Of inquiries that have been
received from fexSners who intend to carry
on the experimental work, 1t is thought that
the result Of this seasons work will be to
show conclusively whether or not a sugar
beet industry may be successfully established
and maintained in this state. The packages
of seeds will be sent out today.

Mills Make a Big Run.

The mills ran more heavily last week than
they have in any week since December, says
the Miller. They ground 264, $3.50 barrels,
against 251, sos barrels the preceding week.
About the same capacity is going this week,
but, as some of the mills are not crowding
quite so hard, the production may show a
small decrease. Next week another mill will
be placed in commission, and, perhaps, two.
Some of the smaller ones run irregularly,
owing to the dull market Last weeks flour
trade was the lightest for some time. The
aggregate sales did not exceed ITO, 900 barrels.

break the sombre hue, unless it was the oc-
casioral CLEAN of light upon the gold eye

started to tell how she came to find the pol
icy, when Mr.. Severance objected.
"How can 1 tell how I found the policy,
Mr.. Severence?" asked the witness. with
some asperity, unless you let me tell how
1 came to go after them"
81 will argue that matter with your at
torney," said Mr.. Severance, dryly. This
is all immaterial If this is a valid policy,
they are entitled to recover, and that is
ALL"
"You may show the delivery, briefly" said
the court.
The witness bore herself very differently
from what she did at the criminal hearing
She was quick, spoke highly and sharply,
and so rapidly that the court could hardly
prevent her from giving evidence when ruled
out.
Had you ever seen this policy before that
time?' asked Mr.. Hall.
mo, SIR was the firm reply.
Mr.. Hall wanted to show a denial Of the
claims of the defense, when the court ruled
it out as improper, as being out of order.
eff you want to take the burden, you can
do So" said Mr.. Severence. "At present it
is preseumptive that she knew nothing of this
policy
Witness was allowed to state that she
and Mrs. Hawkins had lived together fer
nine years. Mr.. Hall tried to show those
relations, regarding the way in which they
had agreed 10 provide for the family, wien
MI. Severence objected, because If 1t was a
| parole agreement, the other party being
| dead, it could not be proved. Judge Bab-
cook, for Mr.. Hall, stated that this did not
apply. Their side did not claim a contract,
but an insurance interest by means Of a
neutrality, whereby they both posted their
money, and used them together. 1t was not
necessary that people should be blood rela-
| tives to create an insurable interest. Mr..
! Severance claimed that at that time the
only insurable interest they could show
would be on the contract of insurance. The
court held with him on this point and the
! objection was sustained.
Witness swore that Mrs. Hawkins was
| in good health until about July of the year
of her death. She had given birth to a
child in 1888. at Des Moines, 10. Regarding
dates, the witness had not a good memory,

Albert H. Hall opened the case of Lora
Perkins against the Security Mutual Life
Insurance company before Judge Belden yes
terday. He dwelt considerably upon the facts
relative to the fire in which Lola Hawkins
lost her life.
In making his opening the attorney showed
what to The public had been a sealed book
during all the preliminaries, his claim
against the defense of the companies. He
stated that his side would rest with show
ing the policy and making a prima facie
case and that the defense would make
the case by striving to prove its defense.
The company claimed that the plaintiff had
falsely represented the state of things, made
false answers to questions, and, In TACT,
impersonated Mrs. Hawkins.
The only new claim is that the questions
and answers submitted by the company are
false, forged and altered statement, and
therefore should not be evidence.
Le,olrd Thompson, local agent of the COM
pany, was called by the plaintiffs counsel
for examination under the statute as
the first witness. Mr.. Hall presented the
policy, and elected the assertion that it was
a policy of the company issued on the life
of Lola Hawkins, but the witness stated, in
line with the claim of the Defense that the
policy was issued direct from the New York
office, upon reports taken at this end of the
route.
Mr. Hall asked if there was not some pri-
vate advice sent to the New York Office upon
which the policies were isuued, aside from
the reports used publicly. The witness stated
that there was not, in that case, although
sometimes the examining physician did make
a private report Of his own accord.
The witness swore positively that the lady
who arranged with him for the insurance was
Mrs. Perkins, and not Mrs. Hawkins, as she
represented. The line Of evidence was in
direct line with that at the first hearing.
He admitted that he never saw Mrs. HaW kins
up to that time
H. D. Ruch, one of the first persons to be
at the Perkins house after the fire, told Of
finding the satchel, in company with Mr..
Mayer, deputy coroner. They took some
papers out of the satchel, and witness said
he heard Mayer say that one Of the papers
was an insurance policy. He could not
swear that 1t was the same policy that was
in evidence. Mr.. Hall tried to have The
witness say that 1t was large pocketbook,
rather than a satchel, in which he found
the paper, but witness could not say from
his memory that it was. 1t seemed to him
like a satchel.
