Starting shortly after midnight lines

although the scenes enacted were not so
exciting as in Chicago.in 1905 when many
fans sat up all night before the ball park
waiting for the gates to open Prac-
ticaUv every seat was sold when the
day dawned, but many were held by
spectators. Every train brought its
quota of fans.
Chicago fans came by special trains.
Many of the tickets had fallen into the
hands Of spectators. and prices ranged

DISPOSAL OF TICKETS
FOR GAME CALLED BAD
Many Criticisms Heard About the Manner in Which Seat
Spectators Have Partly Cornered the
Market.
BY THOMAS S. RICE.

PHILADELPHIA. oct. 17.-This sup
posedly corrupt and uncontented city is
q great field just now for the study OF
human nature, in and out OF baseball
For instance. what could be more al
fecting than the scene Of the meeting
between Billy Murray. the former man
aEer Of the Philadelphia Nationals, and
Horace Fogel, the president Of that
club which dumped Willy on the cold,
cruel baseball world.
To hear their talk when they were
throwing verbal bombs at one another
last winter you would have supposed
that nothing less than a riot could hap
pen when they CHANGED upon one anOth-
or. But the aws-stricken spectators
who saw them meet ia the hotel lobby
yesterday beheId nothing serious Every
breath was held and every cheek was
bIanched. We were thinking of appeal
ing to the better element of our people
Ito nave it stopped. and of asking 10
have a special Sunday set aside for
sermons on the subject. We even con-
templated asking 20 have a new course
introduced into the schools OF two hours
q week-to be taken of the time allowed
for the study Of English-against such
sanSuinary folly.
We could already see our picture In
the papers with our name beneath IN
bIaCkface caps, with a sUbcapIiOn say
ing we were one Of the leaders in the
uplifting and humanizing OF a race
threatened with perditiOn and destrUc-
ton. because Of The hideOus inquiry OF

Reclean All Seed Grain.

A farm without good tanning mill
is not run up to its best opportunities.
One can almost pick out the farms
where mills have been used for several
years by simply observing the different
samples of grain. While / was down
in Livingston county last week stood
for about an hour watching farmers un-
load oats. Some oats were clean and
bright, while other loads were dirty and
the grain was badly colored up. One
need not ask which of these farmers
had used mills and which had not. The
evidence was right there.
To get the seed grain ready, take
ample time and put on plenty of wind.
Don't set the mill to run through forty
to fifty bushels an hour. That kind of
cleaning will not amount to very much
in either grading or cleaning. Run
slowly; feed slowly: ten bushels per
hour is fast enough. Frequently seed
grain should be run through two or
three times, using a different set OF
screens and riddles with each separation

Supreme Court Decisions.

The Rocky Mountain News has made
arrangements to print the syllabi of the
decisions Of the state supreme court.
This is most unusual stroke of en-
terprise and will prove Of value to cv-
cry attorney in the state.
Heretofore the attorneys have been
compelled to wait until the bound vol
umes Of supreme court reports were
printed and issued before they could as
certain the exact principles laid down
by the highest court in the state in n
particular case.
Now It will only be necessary for them
TO secure a copy Of the News contain
ing the syllabi. The latter arc prepar.
ed for The News by the reporter of the
court, Judge Z. T. Wells. and they are
printed within few days after the
court has handed down It's decisions. In
order to avoid mistakes. II is said that
Judge Wells insists upon scrutinizing
the proofs Of tho syllabi before thcy
