An Unjust Proposition.

The legislature of Minnesota is in
clined toward setting the state up
in the business of editing the news
papers. Possibly the people will find
out one of these days that this med
ding with the newspapers is not so
much in the interest of the average
man as it is in the interest of a GER
tain brand of politician who would
like. to keep his record out of print.
At any rate the papers can stand the
gag rule plan if the public can.

no really rank" decisions were
made.
Princeton played in what might be
termed genuine hard luck in this
game. Several times the ball missed
the net by about hair, and at that
the local team came very near to an

Royalton Wins.

In one of the most closely con-
tested games ever staged on the local
floor the Princeton high school bas-
ket ball team was defeated by the
quint representing the Royalton
school last Friday evening. The final
score was Is to %.
The locals did not get warmed up
during the first half, and the result
was that the visitors secured a
goodly lead. When time was called
Is points were credited to Royalton,
to 9 for Princeton.
In the second half the Princeton
athletes came back exceptionally
strong, and Immediately assumed the
offensive. They negotiated. several
baskets and had their opponents
more than worried. Despite the
large lead secured by Royalton dur
ing the first round, Princeton gradu-
ally forged to the front, and finally
had one point to the good. 1t was
a thrilling finish and local enthusi-
asts were confident that their favor
ties would emerge from the contest
with the long end of the score. This
was not to be, however as the visit
ors took a brace during the last
minutes of play and negotiated one
field basket and one free throw. The
score for this half was "A to L, and
Royalton's large lead secured during
the first round was what gave it the
victory.

Anent Bean Raising.

hereunder appears cOmmunica-
tion from G. II. Berry relative to
the growing of more beans by the
farmers of this section. Mr.. Berry
gives some valuable pointers anent
bean raising, and the article will I'm
doubtedly prove interesting to our
numerous farmer readers The COM
munication follows: III.
''As this part of the country is SO
we'll adapted to the raising of beans
the writer is tempted to ask why
more beans are not raised? Beans
have numerous advantages over pota-
toes. They are not perishable. and
can be held several years if kept in a
dry place. A fair crop can be grown
on land that will not produce pay
ing crop of potatoes. Beans do not
have to be sprayed to kill bugs. and
can be harvested with less than half
the expense and labor of potatoes.
They do not take fertility from the
soil as potatoes do, being similar to
the clover plant in that they take
nitrogen from the air and mineral
matter from the subsoil which they
store up in little noodles found on
the rootlets to grow future crops.
You do not have to build expensive
root houses to store your beans in to
keep them from freezing. When you
market them you can haul from 500
to $3.50 worth at load, and you
would have to haul several loads of
potatoes to get that amount The
good demand and present high prices
will clear the market of last years
beans, and the prospects are promis-
ing for good price next season also.
"A few lines on bean culture may
be beneficial to beginners. Plant
from June to June 10 in rows three
feet apart, and in hills one foot
apart. From four to six beans should
be planted to the hill. This will
require from one-half bushel to three
.pecks to the acre. Do not pillow your
bean field until it is, almost time to
plant. and then plant as soon as you
can get the ground ready. The beans
will come up very quickly, and
should be cultivated at once so the
weeds will not get a start. Do not
cultivate when the vines are wet, as
that will cause them to rust. Do
the cultiyating in the early part of
the growing season, as late cultivat-
ing delays ripening. When the beans
are ready to stack be sure to build
stack bottom of poles or something
that will allow the. air to circulate,
otherwise the bottom of the stack
may mold. G. II. B. y

Hotflander promises that this will be
a real treat. This is one of the lead

The center for the visitors had a
truly marvellous reach, and it ap-

He seemed able to stretch up to

The Princeton team undoubtedly
gained several pointers in this con-

LOCALS DEFEATED
90. q Basket Ball Team Goes Down
to Defeat for the First Time
This Season.
Famous New York Nationals Prove
to Be Entirely Too Fast for
the Local Quint.

The Company G. basket ball team
went down to defeat for the first
time this season last Thursday even
ing at the armory when it opposed
the famous. New York Nationals.
The defeat was not unexpected, how
ever as the most enthusiastic local
followers realized that it would be
impossible for the local quint to take
the measure of this we'll known east
ern aggregation, as it plays basket
ball every night of the week. The
final score was Sc to IS, and this was
a splendid showing on the part of
the locals, as the Nationals have de-
feated some of the most speedy
CUNTS of Minneapolis by greater
margin.
One of the largest crowds of the
season was. in attendance, and the
spacious armory was filed when Ref
cree Cooley blew the whistle for play
to start. The visitors started with a
rush. and before three minutes had
elapsed several baskets had been
negotiated by them. 1t certainly
was the fastest work by far ever seen
on the local floor. There was not a
man on the opposing team who could
not throw basket from almost any
angle, and their passing was a
feature. The locals secured S
points to p for their opponents in
this half.
The second half was more exciting
than the first. Company G's repre-
sentatives displayed considerable
more "pep" and put up a plucky if
losing fight. Morton, Smith. Heinz
and Doane negotiated baskets and
each man on the local team played
an aggressive game. The visitors
were also very much in the game,
and when time was called the score
stood 20 to Is in favor of them for
this half.
The game was interesting even If
the locals were outclassed, and it is
safe to say that no one regretted be-
ing in attendance.

PLEA TO GOVERNOR
CONDEMNED MAN CONTINUES TO
CLAIM INNOCENCE; NAMES
"HiGHER-UPS."

New York, July 81 Counsel for
Charles Becker awaited today the re-
suit of Becker's appeal to Governor
Whitman to forbid his execution on
July % for the murder OF Herman
Rosenthal. Becker's plea, sent to the
governor at Albany last night, included
a long statement of his version Of the
facts leading up to the murder. In this
statement Becker denied completely in
the murder and said that State Senator
Timothy D. Sullivan, C"Big Tim)" now
dead, had told Becker that he had s12,
500 invested in RosenthaPs gambling
house and that when Rosenthal began
to make public statements about the
raid on his place. Sullivan exacted a
promise from Becker to keep Sui
livan's name out of It, Becker said
that he had kept his promise up to the
time of the making of his plea for exc
cutive clemency.
Becker's statement made no disclo-
sures of police graft but gave an ac,
count of his movements on the night
of the murder.
Martin T. Manton Of Becker's coun-
sci has announced that proceedings
will be started in day or two in ap-
plication for new trial of Becker on
the grounds OF newly discovered evi-
dence. The nature Of the evidence

make affidavits substantiating In part
the story which Becker told.

attorneys who prepared a portion Of
the statement sent to the governor,
said 1t had been decided to take this
action In order to avoid a delay in first
appealing to supreme court justice
for new trial.
Becker is ready to die. He does not
ask favors of anyone but he wants to
prove his innocence" Mr.. Cochran said.
