The Krntlmrnt Ntronglf la Favor of Re leasing the Two Mea. bat the Opin ion Oenernl Thai One of the Itoaril Will Oppoee Tar don—Hank leller A. F.. Hunker Objects. .Sr. Pavl, Minn., July 12.—The one i topic at the capital of Minnesota to iilny is tlie application for the pardon of the Youngers, which will be con sidered by the state hoard of pardons Monday. Sentiment i* divided, of coii.-rs, hut the overwhelming weight of it is in favor of tlio pardon Men well known throughout tIn state, who hud heretofore bitterly opposed every move in the direction J of clemency toward the Northtleld bank robliera, have come forward to speak for their release within the last , week. The press of Minneapolis and | St, Paul favor the pardon, and upon this home sentiment the friends of the Youngers base whatever hope they may have that the board of pardons will re lease the convict brothers This hope, | however. Is slender, for it lias for many years been said in Minnesota that a man whotnight be instrumental in the pardon of the Youngers need never look for another otliee at the hands of the people. For tills reason ' | few people believe that the board will I grant a release. Tile board is composed of llovernor ; Clough, t hief Justice (start and At torney (icneral Childs. It requires a 1 unanimous rote for the board to grant a pardon. The hoard will meet to consider application- for pardon Mon day morning. Among the very first of these will be the pleas for the Youngers. it is the general belief that I lover no i- Clough will vote for the pardon, but those who arc closest to Attorney (icneral Cliilds and Chief Justice Start I •ay mai neimcr 01 mem lias ever given expression on Hie subject. The | ehange of sentiment in favor of the 1 pardon may influence them, but at least one of them Is expected to op pose. Tlie pardon would he ax much a surprise as is the change in public sentiment which lias taken place, THE YOUNGERS SCORED. Taller Hanker of the NorthtlelJ Hens j Object* to 7heir Tarilon. tsi. I'ai i, Minn.. July 1 —The only individual protest of importance so far j made against the pardon of the two I Younger brothers is from A. K.

Prof. Taylor Trying to Secrra Fnralgi KxIOSItnra to Hie Exposition—I'orrea pomlenre With Foreign (Irnwrri A Model Plant to lie Pat la Operation. Meet Sugar to tin Represented. Prof. F. VV. Taylor, an per in tender of the bureau of horticulture, agricul ture and forestry of the Trans-Missis sippi exposition, is in correspondents with the growers of sugar beet seed with a view to having them make ex hihits at the exposition, showing tlit methotl usetl in propagating the sect i for these beets. He states that en ' eouruging replies have been receive! i from several of these growers anil ht feels confident that a number of then will make exhibits. The professoi says thut the cultivation of beets foi seed purposes is as carefully conductet as the breeding of fine stock, in brief the plan is about this: The best look ing beets are selected from the cror and a small portion is taken from eftel beet and subjected to a test for sac charine properties. If the test reachn tlie standard the licet is laid away un til the next planting time. Those not passing the test are thrown into tin pile with the common lot. The sect! beets are planted the following yeut and carefully matured and permitted to "go to seed." In this manner the sugar-producing qualities of the beets have been raised to a higher percent age. Prof. Taylor hopes to have tliest foreign growers who make a specialty of raising seed come to the exposition, nritl he expects to make these exhibits the source of prolific information to the growers of beets in this section, lie says there Is no reason why the lui.t Liif.n, ......I i ii tin. ,1.1 not be raised in this immediate section of the country, and he proposes to utilize the exposition us a means of in structing the seed growers in this re gion in the most approved methods adopted in Europe ns the result of years of experimenting. I’rof. Taylor is .Iso in correspond ence with the makers of beet sugar machinery, with a view of haring a model plant in full operation on tin exposition grounds in connection with the exhibit of seed growers, lie says that he has no doubt that a complete plant will Is- established on the grounds and be in full operation dur ing tite season when Ix-ets are obtain able. Tlie A nil-l aw. Secretary Goodrich of the Omaha street railway company says that an order will be at once is,tied, based on tlie law passed by the late legislature, requiring all city officials holding street ear passes to turn in their passes Sunday. .July 11. and thenceforth they will have to pay fare like common peo ple. The order will be more far reaching than this, however, as it will also apply to members of the ixiliec ami fire departments, who have hither to been allowed to ride free upon showing their badges. .Mr. Goodrich says lie believes that the promulgators of the bill did not expee.. it to reach so far. but tlie bill pro vices that no pass shall be issued to an official or employe, elected or appointed, and particularly mentions that “no metal" or other de vice shall be given or used for the purpose of free rides. He says that the expenee to the eity on the police department alone will be enormous. The law applies not alone to the street railway company, but ulso tile waterworks, gas and electric light companies, and to any other corpora tion having, or which might apply for a franchise from the city. So that these companies will also In- compelled to call in their free accounts, if they have any. Kipfrlui^ntal Farming. While the condition of Nebraska crops, as shown by local railroad re ports, is so uniformly good this year that there is but little need to resort to artificial plans of soil culture, re ports from the Campbell experiment farms along the Elkorn and the liur lington lines throughout the state are most encouraging. They show that the prospects for this season’s cropol b(v*ley. oats, potatoes and other agri ci*turul products raised under the Campbell system of soil culture ure much better than where the old meth od of farming has been strictly ad hered to.
