.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,

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. Itun- j
ker, general manager of the Western
Newspaper I'nion, who wan teller of !
tho North field bank in September, i
1S"6, when they raided it. Mr. Hunker j
says;
“1 was teller of the lmnk at the time
and witnessed the attack upon Mr.
ileywood and now carry a scar caused
by a bullet wounil through my slioul- \
der, inflicted by < harley i'itts. one of

ments of reputable citi/.ens of North
field. made directly after the raid,
should be entitled to as much credence 1
as statements made by Cole Younger, j
twenty-one years after. Younger's ]
present story contains many mis
statements and omissions, lie at
tempts to shield Frank and Jesse
James, while seeking liberty himself.
He would have u-> believe that lie was
at Northfield on that eventful day for
the purpose of preventing the boys
from killing law-abiding citizens. The
citizen who followed the four robbers
to the bank was J S. Allen, and he
was first to give the uluiin on the out
side. Ho was not ordered to stop l>v

told Miller or Styles not to khoot

“Cole Younger did not go to the
hank door and tell ‘the boys' to hasten

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

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

years of experimenting.
I’rof. Taylor is .Iso in correspond

that he has no doubt that a complete

requiring all city officials holding

will have to pay fare like common peo

reaching than this, however, as it will
also apply to members of the ixiliec

mentions that “no metal" or other de

While the condition of Nebraska

that there is but little need to resort

most encouraging. They show that

inventors are prominent business men
of Holstein, Iowa, Messrs. C. L. \\ ilson,
C. Minna. J. YY. Unger, II. Schrieck
10th. A. I’, lirosius and YV. Kuchel.
The allowance of these patents will
undoubtedly mean much to the man
ufacturing interests of northern Iowa
for the reason that the company above
named intend to establish a plant for
the manufacture of the calcium car
bide and also the generating machines.

produced by combining calcium car
bide and water, and the -light that is
produced by burning this gas is ol si
purer white than electricity itself and
is very brilliant. The generating ma
chines invented by the company are
of a size and capacity designed to be
plaeed in ordinary dwelling houses
where by charging the generator
every day or week the gas may be
used just as freely as with the ordi
nary citv gas and u better light is
provided at a much less cost. Val
uable information about securing,
valuing and selling patents sent free
to any address.
