The Kind Of Seeds That Yield.


Like everything else their are good
seeds and bad seeds. Seeds that grow
and seeds that don't grow; seeds that
yield and seeds that don't yield, and a
little drought given now to the selection
OF the seeds You'll need, will be found
time well spent, though realized much
better at the harvest if you select the
world famed Ferry's Seeds-the kind
that always yield. For nearly halfa cent
ury Ferry's Seeds have been known and
sown wherever good crops are grown,
until farmer and gardener alike, have
learned to depend upon their wonderful
reliable growing and yielding qualities,
year after year, to the exclusion of all
others.
Unfortunately the seed business seems
to afford means for many INSCRIPTIONS
people, who aim to blind the unwary to
quality, through littleness of price and
boastful claims;w ho in reality have moth
ing to substantiate their claims, no rep.
utation at stake, no past record as proof.
1t is better to pay a little more for the
harvest by sowing Ferry Seeds. The
1903 Seed Annual which is sent free, post
paid, will be found unusually interesting
instructive. Write for it to day. Address,
u. M. Ferry & Co., Detroit, Mich.

SERIOUS CHARLES REVIVED
in Manila, After the Surrender, May Be investigated.

Manila, June 23.-The charges that American officers footed public build 3ngs in Manila after the surrender of the city, in 1898, has been revived, and may possibly lead to formal in- Vestigation. Recently the authorities endeavored to locate certain pictures and art objects belonging to the mu- nicipal museum, and the inquiry showed that they had been given to "a Filipino to take care of after the surrender. The Filipino offers to prove that some officers received the pictures, and it is claimed that a for mer staff officer distracted a silver service from the Ma.acanan palace. The government may ask the war department to investigate the matter.
 Gov. Taft has returned here from Benguet. His health is completely restored.

STARTLING TESTIMONY.
Pointed Evidence of Franchise BOOdling in the City Council of
 Pittsburg, Pa.

Scranton, Pa, June 23.-Startling testimony was produced before the select council Investigating commit tee, which met to-day to investigate the charges of bribery made by ex- County Surveyor George E. Stevens in relation to the defeat of the Dal- ton street railway franchise ordinance last Thursday night.
 w. P. Roland, one of the promoters of the Dalton Railway Co.,, testified that Select Councilman D. B. Evans, of the north ward, demanded of him, in the presence of Mfr. Stevenson, $500 for himself and $4O0 for each of ten other councilmen. He named the following councilmen: John E. Began, Thomas O'Boyle, James r. Maloney, Thos. c. Melvin, John Naegli, Thos. Cosgrove, Edward J. Coleman, Malachi Coyne, John J. McAndrew and Rich ard Morgan.
 This testimony was corroborated by MT. Stevenson. Both men testi- fled that Evans threatened that un- less the money was forthcoming the ordinance would be either amended to death or defeated.
 The ordinance was subsequently loaded down with impossible amend ments, and then the quorum was broken.
 The Municipal league will prose- cute the councilmen. Evans is already under arrest. More warrants will be issue1

THE SERVIAN DILEMMA.
The Russian and Austrian Demands for Punishment of the As-
 sasxins Proves Poser.

Belgrade, June 23.-The position ot the ministry is becoming more unen- viable daily in consequence of the Russian and Austrian demands for the punishment of the assassins of King Alexander and Queen Draga The terms of the Russian note al most caused a panic among the cabi net ministers, who are anxiously awaiting the arrival of King Peter to extricate them from the dilemma. The war minister is the paramount power in the ministry, as he is backed by the entire army, and he threatens severe resentment in the case of any hint by a member of the cabinet of the pun. ishment of the conspirators. The promotions of oFcers sent from Ge- neva are variously explained as eith- CT intended as an open defiance or as being the result of alarm caused by the attitude of the army.
 The foreign representatives who have not been instructed are asking their respective governments what at titude they shall assume at the recep tion of King Peter. The Russian minister is in a quandary. He had resumed relations with the provision al government when the czar teIe- graphed his recognition of King Peter, but the minister takes the sub sequent publication of Russia's de- mand for punishment as an indication that Russia will possibly order the suspension of relations with the gov ernment until the murderers are pun ished. Meanwhile, the preparations for the reception of King Peter con tinue. A public holiday has been pro claimed, provincial deputations are coming to Belgrade, free wine and beer are to be provided by the gov, ernment and the town is to be given up to rejoicings.
