Up in the court room Gen. Kuro-
patkin Klause accosted Attorney
Somerville and not only returned
the lie to the Sleepy Eye attorney,
but intimated that when the trial
was finished he would challenge
the attorney to a duel, and that the
latter would not be as satisfactory
to the lawyer as the present contest
between Klause's namesake and
Field Marshal Oyama of the Japa-
nese army.
Mayor Silverson went on the wit
ness stand shortly after the noon
recess and he made the sensational
statement that he would not dis
grace fag-pole by hanging such a
man upon it, as the defendant.
This showed the feeling Of the may
or and the defense took advantage
of it by waving the red handker-
chief in the face of the witness all
the afternoon. The result was that
Mr.. Silverson S evidence is really
not worth much before the jury.
When Attorney Abbott read the
statement of the citizen S committee
fully generating DR.. Koch, and to
which Mr.. Silverson had attached
his signature, the latter was ugly
and would not say whether the sig
nature was his unless he was per-
mitted tomake an explanation. Then
Judge Cray commanded him to an
swer, upon which he said, "It is
my signature. y
Then Mayor Silyerson admitted
signing the document after he had
seen the Koch handkerchiefs and
compared them to the one found in
Gebhardt's Office.

4 Graceful Carriage.

A graceful carriage is as necessary
to good health as to good looks. Ger
tains exercises will do much for the
woman who hasn't always cultivated
the habit of standing and walking
correctly, says the Brooklyn Times
A great aid il the Development of q
good position is to raise the crown
of the head as high as possible and
then try to make the chest meet the
chin. This will make graceful car
riage, smaller stomach, a fuller chest
snd more lung power To reach

sible or to the foo without bending

as far west as Texas When it first
appears in community it has sail
waiting effect on horses, but later that
effect disappears, either because the
animals get used to it or because it ex-
hausts something in the soil that
causes the salvation. The stockmen
of the South have come to recognize
this as valuable forage plant, even
though it is a small grower.
Seed should be sown late in the
spring after the ground has become
warm. The land should be we'll pre-
pared, as it must be for all small
seeds. If the soil has been covered
with timber in the past the chances
for the success of the lespedeza are
improved. The seed obtainable at the
present time is unhulled and there
fore from one to two pecks per acre
must be used The plant seeds the
ground abundantly and where the
climate is not too cold the seeding
will be continued from year 70 year.

AGRICULAURAL
SUGAR Beet Seed.


The proper selection of the seed is
the first requisite in planting, says
a bulletin of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture. At present most
of our best beet seed is imported from
Germany and France. AS with other
commodities, there are few standard
varieties, the quality OF which is we'll
known. These standard varieties are
also in the hands of responsible and
established firms. Very serious mis-
takes are sometimes made in the
selection of seed. The entire crop for
one new factory in this country was
one season produced from seed OF a
low quality and with consequences
that were serious and far-reaching.
No one can tell much about the quail
fty of seed by looking at it. A
farmer can test the seed by germinat-
ing a certain number OF seeds be-
tween two dampened blotters kept
warm and moist He can observe
what percentage terminates. AS each
seed or ball has from one to hve
germs, there should not be less than
$50 sprouts from 100 balls. II, in ad-
dition, 80 per cent of the balls pro-
duce as much as one sprout each, the
seed can be considered good from
the standpoint of vitality. The best
method to pursue with relation to
seed is to consult the nearest reliable
source of information, such as fac
tory or an experiment station which
is making tests.

Japan Glover.

We herewith illustrate a clover that
has been much talked about during
the last few years. 1t was imported
some years ago, an initial consign-
ment coming from Japan to Charles
ton, South Carolina. The scientist
calls it Lespedeza strata. 1t is a
summer growing plant that thrives on
light soils. After it's introduction in
to the Carolinas it spread with great
rapidity, the seed being carried by
the birds. 1t is not likely to thrive
north of the Ohio river if left to itself.
If it is grown at all further north, it
will have to be sown in the spring,
with the certainty that it will kill out
in the winter. Even thep it may prove
useful in some locations. just as is
the case with crimson clover.
1t is now widely distributed
throughout the South, being reported

THE SPORTING NEWS.
WHAT IS WRONG
 WITH COLLEGE SPORT

Concluding "The College Athlete" in the July McClure's, Henry Beach Needham makes further revelations of the trickery and dishonesty which commercialism fosters in undergrad uate sport. Baseball players come in for the same attention the fottball stars received in the first paper and, because it is easier for a ball player to turn his skill into q surreptitious source of income, the conditions are worse with the ball hines than with the elevens.
 It is startling story MT Needham has to tell of these young men practis- ing in their college days all the wiles of the bribe-giver and the bribe-taker:
 Few players could be convicted in a court of law" he says, Ion the charge of receiving money. or it's easier to convict legislator of bribe- taking, yes, the attorney for the big corporation of bribe-giving-than to convict a college gentleman of evad- ing the rules he is pledged to live up to, and of taking money
 This is strong statement but that it is within the facts Mir Needham's narrative proves beyond any doubt, for his story is one of specific instances, and he never fails to name the men, the time and the place.
 For all the evils he shows up the writer is far from pessimistic. Tt is true beyond question:" he says, that conditions have been far worse than they are to-day" He puts the blame upon the spirit that makes business of winning at any cost.
 If the professionals. other than the scientific trainers who watch over the physical condition of the athletes were let go, if the amateur coaches-thc college graduates-were sent about the serious business for which their collegiate education supposedly fits them, and if the development of the university crews, elevens and hines were left to the undergraduates, pri- marily to the various team captains. a large part of the evils in college ath- letics would disappear The hope of college amateurism is in the awaken. ing of the spirit of true sport-fair play and sport for sports sake.

THE DIAMOND.
CITY LEAGUE
 MEETING
No Decision Rendered in the Dispute Now Going On Between Two of the Players.

An interesting meeting of the man. agers of the City Amateur league was held last evening, the only matter of business to be discussed being the charges preferred against George Null llgan. The evidence of MT Mulligan and Umpire Cunningham was taken and after their retirement the matter was thoroughly thrashed out by the officers and managers. No decision was reached in the matter and proba- ply will not be for few days. as the president desires to look further into the affair before rendering a decis- ion. No vote has been. taken on the matter in any way, nor will there be such vote
 It is the first time in nearly three seasons that the managers of tine league have been called upon to dis cuss alleged rowdy playing. That is a pretty good record for league which has no backing but that which they acquire by the hard and conscientious work of the players and managers. All this hue and cry then about this first Offense or alleged offense ill three years is silly rot. Fights and quarrels are taking place every day in every league all over the country and not half the amount of sensation is made of them as there was of this little diff ticulty between Mulligan and Kelly. Only yesterday an umpire was mobbed in Buffalo and the game was given to Jersey City. The day before yesterday two New York National league play CTS, Bresnahan and Devlin. indulged in free fight. and yet Devlin, who struck Bresnahan deliberately twice, was permitted to play in the game yes terday. These things are happening all over the country and continuously.
 The City league does not intend. however. to condone any breach of clean ball playing. Nor does the presi- dent desire to wash out the faults of any one player by little taffy. Clean and free from broils of every kind must be the games. for the life of the league depends on cleanliness and gen tlemanly playing. There are other things to be considered, however, in rendering a decision which pertain to the life of the league as well. and all will be well weighed before that decis- ion is rendered. If Mulligan is guilty he will be punished but the nature of that punishment will depend on the other circumstances to be weighed. Above all things will be considered the life of the league itself, and that will have preference over everything.
