SEEK PURE SEED
The Pure Seed Meeting in This
City Largely Attended and
Farmers Pleased
The Good Results of This Move.
ment for Better Seed Must
Last for Many Years

Wednesday,, the day set for the
farmers to gather here and listen to
the people who r talking improved
seed along the lines of the North
Western road, was a glorious day and
the attendance filed the court room.
The speakers were Prof. Wheeler, the
b%otantist, of the agricultural college,
and Prof. Chilcotte, who is the farmer
at the Bookings experiment station.
Mr.. Greeley, editor of the Dakota
Farmer was not with them on this
trip nor was A. G. johnson of the
Western with them, although
his special a carried them.
Ex-Mayor McGlachin acted as chair.
man of the meeting, introducing Prof
Wheeler as the first speaker. He
handled the wheat question rather
from the standpoint of the botanist.
He used a series of charts showing the
comparative growths from grain
weighing from IS to so pounds per
bushel. The showing was not calcu-
lated to encourage to any extent the
sowing of shrunken wheat. His talk
on treatment of grain for smut was
interesting but nothing new on the
subject was given out. He cautioned
buyers of formaldehyde against buy
ing the article where the wholesalers
name was not on the liable, as yerv
much of it is adultered to too great an
extent.
Prof. Chilcotte, spoke as a practical
farmer, having farmed in South Oak
ota twenty-three years, twelve years of
which time was put in at the expert
ment station. He said pedigree and
breeding were more important to the
grain grower than to the raiser of live
stock. Seed should be graded up bv
careful selection year after year, and
that the advantage secured by years
OF careful selection should not be lost
by destruction of crop, some seed
should be saved over each year. He
said this precaution many farmers
were learning to exercise. He snr.
prlsed many farmers by Earring the
old idea that an occasional change Of
seed was essential. In fact. a ra-
spouse to a question from George
Elliott in regard to bringing in wheat
from Canada, he said he would rather
nave wheat carefully selected and
grown on the same farm for Aftv
years than any wheat imported from
anywhere.
me professor gave instances of how
one farmer by selection and cara ~
keeping his wheat pure had raised tho
grace OF the whole community around
nlm. He advised the going into tho
nelas before harvest and picking ont
choice heads and planting the kernels
~ small plat. He made the aston
lshlng statment that one kernel wo,,,a
produce bushel of wheat in tbres
years. From these small plats ali
heads not up to the standard conld -
culled out. ouiu W

and enforcement of this measure.
WOULD MAKE NEW RULES FOR FOOTBALL
A measure also introduced by Sena-
tor Lightner, but one that falls so far
short of those mentioned above that
an observer is apt to think it intro
!duced by request, aims to regulate
the game of football. It provides that
any player who Intentionally or acct
dentally Injuries another shall be i'm
mediately suspended from the game
and disqualified to play for ten days
thereafter. Infraction is punished by
a fine of not less than $40 and costs of
prosecution.
The proposed law also provides for
a fine of not more than 500 nor less
than $50 upon any college president,
school superintendent or principal
who permits other than bona fide stu
dents to take part in football games
or other athletic contests under the
guise Of being students of the institu-
ton.
Inasmuch as the provision of the
measure would practically put an end
to the game and at the same time over
turn a principle of common and con-
! stitutional law as old as civil liberty
it is not thought that it will receive
very serious consideration.
WHAT ABOUT PRIMARY ELECTION Law?
The prediction is freely made at
Pierre and may be heard almost any
where that the Primary Election law
bill will not be submitted to a vote of
the people. The opponents of the
measure say that it will be shown that
the names on the petition we're not
properly obtained and that many,
enough they claim, are not voters to
make it lack the required number,
That there will be awell organized and
powerful movement to side-track the
measure cannot be doubted.
Just how the members of the legis.
ture will explain their conduct, in case
they do fail to submit the proposed
law to a vote of the people, cannot be
foretold but the chances are that even
enemies of the measure, those who are
fairminded about it, would object as
strenuously as others to such conduct

TOURIST FORGETS HIS NAME
Charles !. EIia's Memory Lapses'
Police Find His Relatives

Charles j. Elig was arrested early
yesterday morning wandering about
the streets in an apparently dazed con-
dition. When accosted by the officer
Elg presented the policeman card
giving his name and showing that he
was connected with the Elig Carriage
company of Wheeling. w. Va.
He first said he had just arrived
in Los Angeles and then declared he
had been here a week, but contended
that he had come here with his family
and that they had gone to hotel.
He could not tell why or when he
left the hotel and the police were mys-
titled. After a search the detectives
found his family at the Royal, 424
South Hill street.
The police surgeons think Elig's
memory lapsed for a short time only
and that he is now completely re-
covered

HORROR PERVADES
ALL CHINATOWN
CELESTIAL DIES IN FELLOW
CoUNTRYMANS STORE
Death Devil Strikes ouone Kim ano
a curse Falls Upon the Mer-
chants Place Of
Business

Amid the melodious sounds OF
Chinese tom tom, accompanied by the
slow shuttle of Celestial feet In the
dance. of the death demons, the soul OF
Quong Kim left its earthly abiding
place yesterday afternoon in n store
room near Also street and passed into
the realms Of the unknown.
Never before has there been such a
catastrophe in the history Of China
town, and residents Of the section are
indignant over the manner In which
their countryman died.
When a squad of police descend up
on gambling game in the neighbour
hood Of the yellow men the occurrence
is only criminal one and not to be
brooded over, but the death of a China
man within a place of business oper-
ated by q fellow countryman is
breach of etiquette In the dying cate
CORY which is irreparable.
Yesterday afternoon 1t was noticed
that Quong was very i'll and probably
stricken by the hand of the death de-
mon. He was approached by country
man who offered to take him to a place
where he could pass to the seven heav-
ems in proper style, but Quong de-
INJURED.
Several more hours Of life were a
long time il you needed them, and
waving aside the countryman he
started toward Also street. Word was
passed along and the stricken man was
kept on the move.
When he reached a point directly
in the rear of the fire engine house on
Also street he staggered. Again a
countryman approached. MANY papers
and candles on the deathbed of'peace"
he chanted, but Quong passed on and
| fell directly across the threshold of a
general store kept by countryman.
Quong was dying, and with scream
of fright the occupants Of the store
decamped.
The patrol wagon was sent for in a
hurry, but it was seen that the man
would die In a few moments, and panic
stricken the proprietor Of the store
| flashed roll of greenbacks and begged
that some man drag the Chinaman
from his store and take him to the hos
pital in a carriage in order to remove
the deadly curse that must necessarily
fall upon the store with the presence
of death.
Suddenly with a last groan, the un-
| fortunate man expired and the pro-
prietor, daring the presence of the de-
| forward and backward with a queer
shuttle step, finally reached the door
and dashed through to the open air.
The undertaker's wagon arrived in a
few minutes, but the curse had fallen
upon the store and the proprietor is
seeking new location.

FORTY YEARS SENTENCE
PASSED ON ARMY OFFICER
Major Darlington Practically Gets
Imprisonment for Life by Virtue
of Spanish Law
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press
WASHINGTON, Feb. 22-Major Cen
eral Corbin commanding the Philip
pine division, cabled the war depart
ment today a confirmation of the press
report of the conviction of Major Car
rington at Manila and stating that the
sentence was for forty years. General
Corbin says: major Darlington, con-
victed by the court of first instance
of all counts against him, sentenced to
forty years in the Bilibid prison. APP
pealed to supreme court"
AS the convicted officer is now in his
fiftieth year this action of the court
practically amounts to the imposition
of a life sentence The result was OBJ
tanned by the application of the Spanish
law permitting cumulative sentences,
which is not common in our civil mill
tary laws.
Major Carringtons conviction raises
some exceedingly interesting legal ques-
tions, among which is the question of
the courts right to try an American
citizen.

BOARD MUST RULE
. ON NEW PROBLEM
STANDING or ELlGIBLES IS IN
QUESTION
Applicant for Position Says That Ex-
perienee Should Be Taken Into
Consideration by Civil Ser
Vice Board

A new problem confronts the mem
bers OF the civil service commission.
This Is the question whether or nor the
service of city employe antecedent to
the six months continuous service re-
uuired by the charter has any bearing
upon the standing of an eligible.
A communication upon this subject
has been sent to the commission by A..
3. Conrad, who is at present acting as
chief deputy in the office of the city
assessor. Conrad Is holding this posi-
ton by virtue OF the fact that Oscar
Nunnaley, the real deputy, is still un-
der suspension. Conrad hopes to get
the place permanently.
The claim Conrad sets up is that the
length Of time an employe of the city
has been in such service should be
taken into consideration In deciding be-
tween candidates whose ratings are
equal in other respects. This particu-
lar question has never been considered
by the civil service commission and
there is no rule covering such cases.
The charter amendment which put
the civil service law of this city in
effect provided that all persons who
had been continuously in the employ
of the city previous to January %, 1903,
should be deemed qualified civil service
employees.
| The question brought UP by Conrad
is In effect, "How would the commission
determine which of two men equally
qualified under this rule should be Sc
lected, there being but one vacancy?'
Conrad's application to his own case is
that he ought to be given a higher
rating than Nunnaley and thus take
precedence over that deputy in the Of
flee of the city assessor.
The question Is one which may af-
feet the standing of a great number OF
civil service employees If it is taken up
seriously by the commission. That 1t
will be treated seriously Is not doubted,
because Conrad has called for ruling
from the commission upon point that
has not been covered by any rule. 1t
is probable that the city hall employees
will form an association and employ
an attorney to present their case be-
fore the civil service commission.
