MUST STAY IN PRISON.

Attempt to Secure Pardon for the
founEers IL Defeated.
ST. Paul. MINI, July l4.-After an ex-
tended hearing on the petition for the
pardon of Cole and Jim Younger, the
surviving members of the Missouri out
Jaw band who attempted to raid
bank at Mortified, Minn., in 1876, the
state board of pardons, consisting OF
the governor, attoroey-general and
chief justice. on Tuesday afternoon re.
fused to grant the requested relief, by
unanimous vote declaring their belief
that the Youngers should complete
their term of life imprisonment.
Bob Younger, the youngest of the
brothers. died in the penitentiary at
Saltwater a few years ago, but pre-.
viously to that time attempts had been
made to secure pardon for the boys,
Gov. Pillsbury refused to pardon them
16 years ago. and eight years ago Gov.
Merriam followed the same example,
both declaring that they believed the
ends OF justice would be better served
by keeping the Youngers in contine-
n'ent. The present attempt to secure
the pardon OF Cole and Jim has been
notable for the amount of pressure that
has been brought to bear on the boar I'd.
Friends of the Youngers were present
with long petitions signed by the SEN
ators and congressman from Missouri
and by many leading citizens of that
state

A number of interesting experiments
in soil, moisture and temperature are
being conducted on the state expert
mental farm. Electrodes are sunk in
the ground and the current passing be-
tween them is dependent on the amount
of dampness in that particular patch of
soil in which they are placed. The
more moisture in given area, the less
the resistance offered to the current
for that area. When the resistance is
found, the moisture contents can be
calculated for that particular locality.
In the same way the temperature of
the soil can be computed by knowing
the resistance.

The capitol commission, after an all
day session, decided to reject all bids
for stone. This action was taken in
view of the important changes determ-
ined upon in the revised specifications
about to be issued. It is the desire of
the board that all bidders shall receive
fair consideration, and in consequence
OF the proposed changes, the only
course seemed to be to reject all bids
and advertise anew.
After carefully tabulating all the bids
recently opened, it was found impossi-
BILE to designate the lowest bidder,
owing to the fact that while one bid
der was lowest on one kind of stone

lowest on different stone for the in
