Selecting Seed.

The proper time In which to select
seeds is late in the fall or winter. Tho
reason for requiring this portion Of the
year for SO. doing is because there is
no hurry, and the work car be done
better. The common practice Of lay
ing the seed corn aside to remain till
spring has done great damage to the
corn crop. as very often the excess OF
imperfect grains is such as to aus a
failure Of termination over the whole
field. Every ear of corn should be ex.
amined, and the inferior grain shelled
off. Vegetable seeds also require ex-
animation, for insects, dampness, and
other causes interfere with their safe
keeping. OF course, every farmer is
supposed to be careful with his seeds,
but very few farmers know the condi.
ton of their seeds until the time when
they are required, and then they are
too much hurried to do anything with
them. The long winter nights are
sometimes made the tedious occasions
for a general assortment Of seeds.
Should any particular variety Of veg
etable appear to have run OUT do
not retain the seed from it at all, but
procure a fresh supply from the seeds

seeds once and awhile, as it is bene

BEAT YOUNG BOY TO DEATH.
Degenerate German Gets Light Sentence
and Angry Crowd in Court Room Riots.

Degenerate German Gets Light Sentence
and Angry Crowd in Court Room Riots.
Bayreuth, Germany. Andreas Dip
pold, a teacher, was found guilty here
of manslaughter In having caused the
death by ill-treatment of a boy who
had been intrusted to his care. Rob-
ert Koch, President of the Deutsche
Bank. placed his two sons, fourteen
and twelve years old, in care of Dip
pold during the summer, while Herr
Koch and his wife were in Paris.
Dippold treated the boys with the
greatest brutality, tying them by their
hands and feet to the bed at night and
otherwise maltreating them. The eld-
er boy ultimately died from disusage.
The prisoner was sentenced to eight
years penal seryitude and ten years
deprivation of his civil rights.
Medical experts who examined him
testified that he was sane, but. was a
moral degenerate. They said that he
was afflicted with a mania for blood,
which could only be satisfied by infict-
ing torture.
The mildness of the sentence, which
was apparently the heaviest that could
be demanded, excited the spectators to
fury. Men and women rose from their
seats and cursed and threatened the
prisoner.
The little boy. Joachim, said Dippold
had told them that their parents be-
lieved they should be thrashed. The
tragic picture Of the boys, believing
themselves abandoned by their parents
to the iendish malignities Of Dippold,
moved almost everybody to tears. The
parents, who were present, covered
their faces and sobbed.

NEW JERSEY STATE NEWS
Struck a Costly Quicksand.

The Atlantic County Board of Free
holders voted $4,000 to help pay for
the filling of a piece of quicksand in the
line Of the new road being built across
the meadows to the mainland. The
money will go to the contractors for
the. road, who refused to carry out their
contract at the original price Of $751;
600. A big fight took place over the
granting Of the money in excess Of the
contract price, and the measure was
only passed by a close vote. The road
contractors struck the quIcksand after
they had partly completed the road,
and after spending several thousand
dollars trying to fill it up informed the
Freeholders that a change would have
to be made in the specifications and
more money paid if the road was to be
completed.

London. England.-Though no overt
act of war has been reported from st.
Petersburg OF the Far East, the unmis-
taxable manner in which Japan and
Russia are preparing for military and
naval action leaves no doubt that the
beginning Of the contest is at hand.
The gravity Of the situation is not
underestimated by the members of the
British Cabinet and the representa-
tives Of the Powers who are now in
London. On every side fears are ex-
pressed that, owing to the peculiar at
titude assumed by Germany with re-
spect to the coming contest for supre-
macy in the Far East, England may
be drawn into the strife.
More Russian warships have been
dispatched from Port Arthur to Ma
San-Pho, and the principal military
and naval commanders of Japan and
Russia no longer pretend to conceal
the fact that they are preparing to
take the field. The war spirit is run
ming high in both countries, and the
leaders of conservative opinion appear
to have abandoned all hope Of avert
ing a war that now seems to be in
eyitable.
A report from Cheefoo says that the
Japanese have occupied Ma-San-Pho,
Korea, and the officers Of the japanese
and Russian fleets that are now lying
In Ma-San-Pho harbor were hourly ex-
pecting that war would be declared.
1t is reported from Port Arthur that
the Toxic correspondent of the Novui
Arai, the leading Russian newspaper
in that town, has sent to his paper a
dispatch which indicates that Japan
is prepared to begin the conflict with
out further delay. He says that the
Japanese press is pointing out that If
Japan engages in war with Russia 1t
will not be on account Of the Russian
occupation of Manchuria, but because
Japan is determined to establish her
position among the Powers.

bing, has made sworn confession
that he had part in several murders

reasons the authorities refuse to give
the names of those accused. Cantrell
first refers to the killing of Police
man Watterson, the mystery of which
crime has never been solved by the de-
tectives.
He also tells of the murder of Wal
ter Johnson, a negro, who came from

taken to an Indianapolis medical col
lege. Cantrell says man from Penn
syIvania named Claude, who had a
gold watch, a check for $500 on the
Englewood bank, of Chicago, and $3.50
in cash, was another victim. He gives
in detail the story of the murder of

MORE EVIDENCE
AGAINST TAYLOR
Witness Who Tells of Kentucky
Refugees Course Against
GOebeI.

georgetown, Ky, Aug. 10.-That a
$500 offer for William Goebel's as
Sassination was made by former Gov
ernor Taylor was asserted on the stand
here by Frank Cecil, star witness for
the prosecution at the trial of Caleb
powers. former secretary of state, for
completely in the GOebel murder.
From this amount Cecil testified that
the only deduction to be made was the
item of expense incurred in bringing
a body of mountain men to Frankfort
just prior TO the date of the Goebel
murder. The men, he declared, were
thorough desperadoes, who sang on the
train: We're going to Frankfort to
kill Goebel.'' The witness is under
indictment as an accessory to the as
sassiuation.
