ton in Michigan may be had from the
fact that the molasses cellar Of the one

There is much trouble this year in the
beet fields with abnormal development
of the roots. some of which may be due
TO the peculiar features of the last two
seasons, and perhaps to the out-croppirgs
Of new diseases of the plant. This
trouble has been noted for the last two
months in the jacksonville and Alvarado
districts and is now being studied 10y
experts of the university extension sta
ton, to whom appeal has been made by
the growers 1t is TO be hoped that much
of the trouble may be que to conditions
which will pass away although there
is quite clear indications that parasitic
agencies are at work on the plants

Some of the farmers in this locality
have been wondering what to do with
the beet tops in order to put them TO
the best use For their benefit we will
state that an article published in the
Michigan Sugar Beet last week CON
tanned the following advice: 1T would
be good idea, if not yet too late, TO use
these tops on your land yet TO be
plowed The greater portion Of the salts,
etc. taken up by sugar beets during their
development is found in their necks
While most American soils under cul-
tivation have ample plant food to meet
all requirements for the time being, it
remains to determine how many years
will elaIse before fertilizers will have to
be furnished just as they are on Euro
pean beet farms. In some cases super.
inten1ents of our American factories
have realized the mistake and issued
special circulars for general distribution
among the farming population. 1t has
been urged that such tops be plowed un-
der and the resulting ultimate money
value will be at least 81 per acre-which
in reality is many times below the truth.
II we allow for the existing American
market value of phosphoric acid, potash,
etc, we reach over $l2 per acre for the
plant foods returned"

BBLLIED PETER.
How Mccoy Forced the Irish Cham
pion Into a Match.

NEW YORK, Oct. I7.-After consider
able talking Kid Mccoy and Peter Maher
have agreed to fight. VIM. A. Brady, on
behalf of the Coney Island Sporting club,
has obtained the signatures Of both men
to articles of agreement calling for a
twenty-ive-round bout to take place IN
der the auspices Of the seaside organiza-
ton on Dec. IA. A purse of $4,000 is the
incentive.
Mccoy has reached New York. At the
Morris Park race track he met Peter. It
was an interesting meeting, and the sub
ject generally discussed was prospective
encounter in the ring between the two
pugilists. The Kid met Peter in front
of the grand stand and, after saluting
him. asked the Irish champion if he was
ready to make a match for a contest for
twenty-five rounds
Maher appeared TO be taken by surprise
at the Kids busnesslike proposition.
and before he could reply Mccoy sug
gested that they agree to time when
they could meet sign articles and post a
forfeit. Maher told Mccoy that he was
matched with Ed Dunkhorst, and could
talk no business until after that fight Was
decided.

fight" Mccoy replied, land, what's more,

Offers to Take Jeffries' Place and

NEW YORK, Oct 17.-Peter Maher is
anxious to take Jim Jeffries' place and
meet Tom Shafkcy at Coney Island on
Oct 81 Notwithstanding the fact that he
is matched to fight Kid Mccoy. The
IrIshman is not lacking in condition. He
Is taking good care of himself and in
dulges in daily exercises. All he wants
to put him on edge, he says is about
fortnight of hard work.
The sports in town do not place much
faith in the reports that Jeffries has hurt
his hand. They say it is a subterfuge to
influence the batting Sharkey. is greatly

postponement If this should come to

VOYAGE OFF A BOTTLE.
Note Dropped I'm Lake Huron Car
ried to Dewey Celebrat ton

WABASHA, Ind. Oct. lion Aug. 10,
1898. Mr. and Mrs John France and Mr.
and Mrs. A. R. Bell, of Decatur, while
aboard steamer in Lake Huron, near
the Straits Of Mackinaw, threw over
board tightly eorked bottle of very
thick glass containing a brief note to
the finder and signed by all Of the four.
They had entirely forgotten the incident
until this week, when MI France re-
celved by mail a note from II. Kaumaker,
Of Columbus, O., stating that he had,
while at the Dewey festivities in New
York, picked up the bottle, which was
floating in New York llarbor. 1t was
then tightly sealed and the note was
found just as written. Mr. Kaumaker
expressed the nope that all of the four
Were alive and well. The bottle, ap-
parently, had made the journey through
Lake Huron, Lake Erie, over Niagara
and through the whirlpool, followed the
Niagara river to Lake Ontario, and
thence down the st. Lawrence to the
sea, whence it was carried by the cur
rents down the Atlantic coast.

NEW YORK, Oct. 17.-When jim JEFF
fries stripped in his training quarters at
Asbury Park, and was rubbed down after
hard run to Long Branch and return,
he seemed in fine condition. He was per-
spring freely when taken in hand by his
brother Jack, and when the rubbers had
finished their task his flesh was bright
and of reddish hue. Jeffries said he
never felt better in his life.
The bandage on his wrenched arm was
removed. The swelling has disappeared
and the pain is not as severe as it was a
few days ago. Jeffries said that if the
arm improved in strength as it has with
in the last day or two he will not ask for
a postponement of the fight.
II realize" said he that I am going
against a tough fighter, and / want to
enter the ring fit to fight the battle of
my life. 1 will go to New York and let
DR.. Sayre make another examination of
my Wrenched arm. AS to postponement
of my fight with Sharkey, everything de-
ponds on the advice of my physician
The story has been circulated that JEFF
fries injuries are not the result of his
tossing the medicine ball with Ernest
bali hit him on the wrist and twisted his
arm out of shape. There is another re-
port going the rounds that Billy Delaney,
his trainer, is dissatisfied with Jeffries'
condition. Delaney said that the report
was even too absurd to be denied
Il am we'll satisfied with the manner
in which everything is progressing said
Delaney. 'Of course L am sorry that
jeff has wrenched his arm, but I do not
apprehend anything serious and believe
it will be just as strong as ever on the
day of the fight. If the doctor advises
a postponement of the battle there is
nothing else to do but to submit"
Delaney expressed the opinion that the
long season of training which some fight
ers undergo when preparing for a battle
is entirely unnecessary and declared posi-
lively that three weeks training is better
than three months.
"All this business of having half q
dozen rubbers is entirely unnecessary
he declared. Il was always opposed to
it; L am glad to see that in the coming
fight between Erne and O'Brien the con-
testants expect to train only two weeks.
They are both in good shape and do not
require a longer period in which to get
in condition
One of the principal visitors at the JEFF
fries camp today was George Siler, who
was on hand to look the champion over
and incidentally pay his respects to the
big Californian. He and Jeffries chatted
over the coming fight for several hours.
Jeffries reiterated to Siler his former
statements that he is stronger and faster
than ever before and sees nothing in the
way of his winning his fight with Shar-
key.
POSTPONEMENT AGREED UPON.
NEW YORK, Oct 17.-At meeting to-
day of managers Of Jim Jeffries and Tom
Sharkey, 1t was agreed to postpone the

Wealthy Young Mans Sad End.

In trying to show some girls how
fast he could run backward, on Thurs
day night, OF last week, Edward F.
Powell, young man worth a quarter
of million dollars, fell in the street
at Port Kennedy, and in a few min
utes later he was dead. He was re-
turning from an entertainment in the
Presbyterian Church in that village,
and banterlng challenged the young
women in his party to a race. The
conditions were that he should run
backward while they ran forward, and
he laughingly declared that he could
easily beat them.
The race started, but young Powell
had covered but little ground when
he fell heavily on his back. He did
not move, and when his companions
gathered around him they found him
unconscious.
The doctors think that 1t was not
the fall which caused Powers death
but that he was striken with apoplexy
from the exertion in running in thai
! unusual way.
