were saloons with curtains hung so as to
screen the interiors from the street to show
that they were doing business with q decent
regard for the feelings of easily offended
passers-by and of exclusive drinkers, If with
out regard to the provisions of the Raines
law.
There were saloons selling In their back
rooms and paying there the sincerest fattery
to the Raines hotels by offering imitation sand
witches. This cort of entertainment was pro-
vided chiefly in rooms designated by out
side signs as Ladies' parlors'' and Ladies'
Cafes In the dining rooms Of the real
things in Raines hotels, as distinguished from
hotels, sandwiches were supplied in some in
stances, but in others this formality was dis
pensed with. Where sandwich was supplied
the little matter of charging for it was usually
overlooked, whether from prudence or fear Of
prosecution for false representation is az one
who may have seen the sandwiches may
choose to believe.
By far the richest thing in the form of
meal furnished in difference to the law ap-
peared in a Broadway hotel At this hosiery
there was placed on each table in the cafe
a plate bearing genuine and edible sand
witch, beside which lay check marked
Lunch, 10 cents
The marking was IN large letters and
figures, and in view Of the character Of the
sandwich and the prices Of the house the
offering might be supposed to be in the nature
of a bargain. But dilgent observation failed
to detect the man who dared pick up the
check. Even the walters overlooked them

The Indictment against Police Captain Her
lihy for failure to suppress disorderly houses
has been pronounced legal by the court of
appeals, and he will have to stand trial. 1t
was Herlihy against whom Rev. R. L.. Pad
dock made the charges that aroused Bishop
Potter, and led to the political uprising of
last year. District Attorney jerome says
that theecourt of appeals decision is a great
victory, inasmuch it delivered the police
captains of New York into his hands. II they
failed to do their duty in suppressing dis
orderly resorts of in enforcing the excise
law they can be indicted Herlihy has been.
The decision Is therefore, of farreaching i'm

withdrew, as they had perfect right to
do. at any time. if they chose to do it.
Pembina also refused to play for the s25
prize. Then the Emerson committee
concluded, in order to have a game at
all, that they must give the s50prize, and
as that was what Pembina was there for
the game went on, and Pembina won.
The whole deal'looked like repetition
o Emerson 26tn OF July programme, by
which local clubs were induced to come
and help Emerson make holiday, and
Emerson, by means Of hired battery,
won the 500 prize. Emerson has had
Mcmillan, pitcher, and Davis, catcher
the former player from the northern
league and the latter from Minnesota
on the pay roll all summer, and the slur
on Pembina's hired battery amounts to
this, that when Pembina did hire a bat
terry they got good one, though some
OF the statements in regard to them are
wrong. Mr.. Odegard was not regular
member OF the league and only played
occasionally when the home team was in
Grand Forks. Murray was player, hut
Cusack never played IN the league, al
though he was employed as umpire.
Whe n he Emerson club wants to pay
as purely local team, Pembina is ready
to meet them. When it comes to hire d
men, Pembna can hire them as we'll as
Emerson, and we fail to see that it IS un-
fair to do so.

Base Ball,

I Base ball interest has been active DUR
the last two weeks. The. game On Fri
day evening between the "Dumplings
and Clothespins" alias Fats and Leans
was rich, unique, funny, and also pret-
ty good game Of purely amateur ball,
though no one of the players had been
in game this season and some not for
several years. Most of the players were
in uniform and some OF the designs"
were decidedly original and not of the
sort usually seen on the diamond. The
features" of the game were too numer-
GUS to mention in full, but the killing of
the first umpire, w. c. Short by the
whole mob of players with the help of
stuffed club, and the subsequent surgical
operation on the body by Chas. Keller,
NJ. D. (meat dealer) with his hand saw
and cleaver was very amusing. Among
other incidents was the ride to first base
on wheel barrow by the batter who was
struck by pitched ball, and an exciting
race when the the catcher picked up the
ball from the ground after the third
strike and chased the batter out before
he got to the first base. Also beer keg
at the third base did great deal to en-
courage base running. With all the fun
ny parts the game itself was very fair
and there was some pretty good play
ing, though the thin men rather out
classed the thick fellows. Practically
the whole town went to the park as may
be figured by the receipts, at 1Oc and &c
admission, netted about s25 to be ap-
piled to the school library.
The rivalry between the Emerson and
Pembina mines has been at fever heat.
Tuesday evening the Emersons came
over and beat Pembina this way:
Emerson ............2 90 l 2 4-1l
Pembina. na............. 21 1 600 4
and Pembina didn't feel any too good
over it. About $50 Emersonians were
present. On Saturday the coronation
day committee offered $50 purse, and
Bathgate and Pembina went over to
meet Emerson. Ii dispute as to the
drawing, Bathgate refused to play and
Pembina went in to beat Emerson, which
they did in this way:

fourteen straight victories this season
previous to Saturday.
Bathgate came over from Emerson
and played friendly game with Pembi,

There was light rain falling part of the
time but very good game resulted with
the score 6 to 8 Tor Bathgate in seven

FLAX WILT.

During the farmers excursions to the
Experiment station, Mr.. Letherman,
near Mayville, kindly called my attention
to some experience he had had with re.
gard to manure as affecting. the growth
of the flax crop. I was glad to get the
data which he gave because it furnished
us further facts on very important feat.
ure affecting the introduction of flax wilt
disease into the soils Jet the state. Mr.
Letherman related that this spring he
had large pasture field, which to his
knowledge had not known flax for a
number of years, if at all. He hoped to
grow thereon very, fine crop of flax. In
order to make matters somewhat better,
he decided to fertilize a portion of the
field with barnyard manure. He hauled
his barnyard manure out upon one part
OF the field, spread the same and plowed
it under. Mr.. Letherman had fed flax
straw to his cattle during the winter OF
l9O0-19O1. On the unmanured portion
of the sod field Mr.. Letherman states
that he has most beautiful crop of flax,
which to him appears free from any di-
sease, or at least so free that he cannot
notice anything wrong. On the portion
where he hauled the manure, the flax
began to die even as soon as it was up,
and at the present date it is almost all
dead of wilt, the crop in that area being
practically ruined. This is an important
observation and confirms our expert
ments here at the college, which tend to
show that if we put the flax wilt fungus
into ordinary barnyard manure, the barn
yard manure acts as good culture med
ia and is rapidly thoroughly infected
with the fungus. We must then advise
that farmers will have TO cease feeding
flax straw to stock if they wish to use
the manure upon their land, because
such manure will thoroughly infect the
soil and thus prevent the growth of fax
in the future upon the soil wherever such
manure is applied.

An Emerson Kick.

| Considerable dissatisfaction existed
among the spectators at the action Of
Bathgate in delaulting the game te
PemSina, only one game in the tourna
ment being played. Four teams were
scheduled to play. Neche wired at the
eleventh hour their inability to attend
Three teams were on the field one hour
after starting time, and the Management,
had bye drawn. When this 1aSt was
made known to the Pembina and Bath
gate players, a roar went up that they had
not come toplay that way. When they
found the kick wouldn't 90 with the
management they arranged between them
for Bathgate to default. The Pemblna
pitcher stated he could not pitch Two
games and that he had come on purpose
from Grand Forks to go after Emerson.
1t has since leaked out that Bathgate was
paid S25 to default.
However, it is our first defeat this year,
and Pembiha's first win from us in two
years. 1t was about time they got
a chance to cheer, and we should not
grudge them a victory, though the way
1t was obtained did them no great credit
and was unfair to the people, who paid
their money to see tournament, not one
game Winnipeg Telegram.
The above Emerson account needs a
little explanation from the standpoint Of
the visitors. The games were scheduled
to be played as follows: Pembina VS..
Emerson, Beavers VS.. Bathgate Final
game, for two prizes Of $50 and $25. On
this programme and understanding Bath
gate and Pembina went to play at Emer-
son.
The Emerson committee, when the
Beavers did not appear, drew a byen
in the absence and without the consent
of Bathgate. They also Withdrew the
first prize Of $50. By this arrangement,
Bathgate and Pembina were to tire each
other out, and the winner to play Emer-
son, with no show for second money if
the latter game was lost.
Bathgate naturally felt. as things were,
that il left them simply to play for the
amusement of Emerson people, With
very little chance for q prize, and they
