SEEDING IS BACKWARD
THIS TIME LAST YEAR IT WAS
.MOKE THAN HALF
DONE
NOT EVEN A START MADE YET
An Authority on the Situation Tells
of Existing: Conditions and What
MiKhi Possibly B« the Results, of
the Snotv In the Southern Por
tions and the Frost in the North
ern Portions of the Northwest.
Considerable Interest is being mani
fested In grain circles over present and
prospective conditions in the Northwest,
for spring seeding of grain.
At this period, one year ago, the work
\\;.s more than half done in Nebraska
anu Northern lowa, and well started in
Southern Minnesota and South Dakota.
April 25, last spring, the seeding had
bun finished even in the extreme north
ern sections. Speaking about the situa
tion a man in position to know what
he is talking about, says:
"Conditions prevailing this spring have
prevented any start being made thus far.
Throughout the southern and central
I ortion of the spring wheat territory the
ground is still covered with snow, or in
too wet a condition. In the northern ter
ritory,, while there is almost an entire
absence of snow, the ground is frozen
deeply, and the weather has been cold
and backward. Present conditions indi
cate that even under most favorable cir
cumstances from this time forward, seed
ing ran not be completed before the 10th
to the 15th of May, or from three to four
weeks later than last year.
"This tact causes more or less appre
hension among farmers that the wheat
may be caught in the soft or 'dough'
stage by the hot July winds, resulting in
a rusted and blighted crop. Late seed
ing also implies a late harvest, and dan
ger Horn early frosts in the northern
country. These features of the situa
tion will naturally tend to a reduced
acreage in wheat as compared wfco last
year. and all increased sowing of flax
and coarse grain. It will also give the
speculators something to think and talk
Rbout for a time at least.
"Ordinarily the farmers' of the south
ern portion of the spring wheat bejt are
enabled to commence spring work from
two to three weeks in advance of their
northern neighbors, but owing to the
comparative absence of snow in the
i orthern section this year, it is not like
ly that such an advantage will be en
joyeo.
"A weeks continuance of the present
moderate weather and thawing condi
tions would enable a general start to
bf made in wheat seeding in Minnesota
a:,(\ the Dakotas. '

BIGHTS OF HUSBANDS.
Jndge Peabody, of St. Louis. Defends
His Ruling on Wife Beating.
ST. LOUIS, April 7.— Judge Thomas H.
Peabody, of the first district police court,
who discharged Bernard Kretzer, charged
with wife-beating, on the ground that
there are times when a husband who
slaps his wife, but does not actually in
jure her, should not be punished, had this
to say today in defense of his decision:
"When I ruled that Kretzer was not
guilty for beating his wife I did not want
to be set down as a wife-beater, but there
are cases when men are driven to emo
tional Insanity, and what they do then
they are not always accountable for. If
Kretzer had harmed her or done any
bodily Injury it would have been different.
In the case I had before me she was
more guilty than he for trying to counter
act and thwart her husband's will in the
presence of their children. It was set
ting a bad example which he had the
right to rebuke.
"When a woman takes a man for her
husbßnd she does so knowing full well
that he is to be the ruler of the house, and
shall have as much to say as she. When
ever there is a dispute between them and
the husband's desire is a good one It
should certainly be acceded to. ' If he
is then provoked to undue anger I think
he would be partly Justified in striking
her. A whole lot depends upon the wom
an. There are women and there are
others. It is my misfortune to have to
deal with a few of the 'others.' As a
rule they are disagreeable women, with
whom it would be impossible to get along
without giving them an occasional 'dres
sing down.' As soon as a woman mounts
the witness stand I can tell if she is a
'highbinder.'
"It would be a good thing to warn the
women of the country that their hus
bands have the same rights that they |
have in the home, and they should al- I
ways be respected. A man should have !
the right to slap a wife occasionally, but
he should be very careful whose wife
he slaps."

Kuiy Title Before the Duluth
« onipwnj Had Definitely Located.
fudges Otis and Bunn in district court,
yesterday, filed a decision in favor of
the plaintiffs in the case of Edwin H.
McHenry and Frank G. Bigelow as re
eelvera of the Northern Pacific Railway
company against the St. Paul & Duluth
Railway company. The decision which
is accompanied by two memorandums
and involves several fine points of law
has the result of quieting title to certain
lands in Carlton county claimed by both
roads.
On May 5, ISGI, congress authorized the
legislature to grant five sections of land
for every mile of road in the construc
tion of a line from St. Paul to the head
of the lakes with indemnity land to be
taken within ten miles either side of the
right of way. On July 2. 1864, congress
passed the Northern Pacific land grant
bill, -which gave the road ten sections
per mile in all of the states through
which the road should pass with the in
demnity . lard to be taken within ten
miles of cither side of the right of way.
In 1865 the legislature granted a fran
chise to the Lake Superior and Missouri
Railway company to construct a line
under the act of May 5, 1864. It was
afterwaids lound In 1860 that a portion
of the road ran close to the state boun
dary that there was no chance for tho
selection of the indemnity land on one
side of the road bed. Accordingly the
act of May 5, 1864, was amended to give
the road the right to select Indemnity
lands thirty miles west of the line. This
in Carlton county conflicted with the
Northern Pacific grant and the Northern
Pacific brought suit to quiet the title
against the St. Paul & Duluth road as
the successor of the Lake Superior &
Mississippi road.
Both judges hod with the Northern
Pacific for the reason as expressed in
the memorandum that under the terms
of the Northern Pacific act the title to
lands afterwards definitely located be
came vested in the company from the
time of the passage of the act and that
the act under which the St. Paul & Du
lut'i claimed title did not vest the title
until definitely located.
MOTHER GETS HER CHILD.
Judge Bazille Decideti Mm. Toiicey
Is Entitled to Little Leo.
Leo Blanche, the year-old Jbuby whose
parentage and custody have bicn in dis
pute in the probate court, was, yesterday,
turned over to Mi >s ». Toucey, the mother,
after an extended hearing before Judge
Bazille. Rev. E. P. Savage, of the Chil
dren's home, was removed as guardian.
The small object of dispute was not in
court, but Mrs. Ezra Toucey, who claim
ed to have been the mother, while Miss
May Whitcomb, Miss Nellie Gordon, her
cousin, Dr. Dohm, Mr. Toucey and Attor
ney T. J. MeDermott, were all on hand to
look atter the interests of Mrs. Toucey.
The rival claimant, Mrs. Mary Simmons,
of 437 East Seventh street, was repre
sented by Rev. E. P. Savage, Lieut. Po
then, Humane Agent Moak and Attorney
Mangan.
Dr. Dohm testified that he had been
called to the Glenwood hotel to attend
the child six day* after its birth. He
had seen Mrs. Toucey and was positive
that she was the mother. Miss Gordon
said the birth had taken place in her
room on Feb. 15, 1898, and she had seen
Leo Blanche when only three hours old.
Finally Mrs. Toucey herself was called
to the stand. She said that after the lit
tle one was born she had observed that
it had better be taken to an asylum or a
home, as she was unable to care for it.
Mrs. Simmons, the neighbor who now
wants to adopt the child, had objected
and offered to care for it herself. She
was permitted to take the baby and kept
it six months, during which time the
mother had paid $3 per week as board.
When she took little Leo from Mrs. Sim
mons there was 127 due which she paid
at the time.
"It is my child and I want it," said Mrs.
Toucey.
Attorney Mangan, who had been cross
examining the witnesses, told the court
that he knew nothing of the Minneapolis
woman who claimed to be the mother,
but he was prepared to show that Mrs.
Toucey had several times denied the par
entage of the child in the presence of
Mrs. Simmons.
The court ruled out the hearsay testi
mony and awarded the child to its moth
er, who wept with emotion, and Mrs
Simmons also burst into tears when the
decision was announced.

Mr. Shelsrl£k says:
"I hay«£ Deen a sufferer from Kidney
Trouble and Acute Rheumatism for the
past 12 yeiirs and I have used all kinds of
medicine." All were of no avail until I
commenced fusing Dodd's" Kidney pills
After using'/ twos boxes I was cured. 1
feel today ten years younger than be
fore, when I could not go two blocks
without sitting down to rest, on account
of the pain in my back, across the kid
neys. I thank God that the Divine Prov
idence led me to use those pills. I can
recommend them to all sufferers from
kidney troubles as being the best thing
that can be had. as I have experimented
on every and all kinds of medicine and
have never found Its equal. I feel It my
duty to let tfce world know Its merits.
They have made' a new man of me."
Mr. Sheldrick lives at 506 S'bley street.

WEAK WOMEN STRONG^ J-/I} W|JU
andSICK WOMEN WELL. LJ w w
Is not the relative physical suffering of woman
an injustice? From fifteen to forty-five — that is
from the dawn of womanhood until the change of
life — the average woman spends just one-third of
that thirty years in suffering more or less great.
Ten years taken out of her life. Ten years taken
out of the powers, the pleasures, the possibilities of
life, and ten years of care and pain added to the nor
mal burdens of life that fall alike on man and woman.
IS IT FAIR?
How many a woman, aching and miserable,
moaning in the loneliness of her darkened chamber
has asked that question : "Is it fair f " But there
is a more important question to be asked before that
question which arraigns impartial Nature at the bar
of reason, and that great question Is :
IS SUCH SUFFERING NECESSARY?
If it can be proved beyond a doubt that women
who have suffered in this way have been cured,
made sound and whole, their pains banished never
to return, then it is proved that such suffering is not
necessary for some women. And if again it can be
proved that ninety-eight women out of every hun
dred without regard to age or the gravity of their
disease, have been cured by Dr. Pierces Favorite
Prescription, of irregularities, inflammations, ulcer
ations, female weakness, and debilitating drains,
then it is also proven that such suffering is unneces
sary to most women. These facts have been proved
and are being proved every day in the practice of
Dr. Pierce and his staff of nearly a score of assist
ant physicians. Such letters as the following are
features of the daily mails of the Invalids' Hotel
and Surgical Institute, Buffalo, N. V., where Dr.
R. V. Pierce presides as chief consulting physician.
"I wrote you for advice February 4th, 1896," writes Mr*
Lonia Halstead, of Claremore, Cherokee Nat, Ind. Ty. "I was
racking with pain from the back of my head down to my heels.
Had hemorrhage for weeks at a time, and was unable to sit up
for ten minutes at a time. You answered my letter, advised
me to use your valuable medicines, viz., Dr. Pierce' 9 Favorite
Prescription, 'Golden Medical Discovery,' and 'Pleasant Pel
lets,' also gave advice about injections, baths and diet. To my
surprise, in four months from the time I began yonr treatment I
was a well woman and have not had the backache since, and
now I put in sixteen hours a day at hard work."
It is to be noted that Mrs. Halstead's cure began
with a letter written to Dr. Pierce for advice. In
tens of thousands of similar cases the cures
BEGIN WITH A LETTER
seeking advice, which is given absolutely without
fee or condition. Free medical advice, is what Dr.
Pierce offers every sick and ailing woman. Any
one can make that offer. Only a physician can
make it honestly and carry out its promise. The
very trusting nature of woman makes her a mark
for the schemes of the man who invites the corres
pondence of women, disguising himself as a woman,
to win woman's confidence. Does any accredited
doctor need to put on a woman's clothes to win a
woman's confidence ? The very fact that such dis
guise is used, and women are invited by a man to
"write to a woman," shows that the one offering
advice is not a qualified physician, and assumes a
woman's dress to cover up the fact.

INCOME FOE A CHILD.
Dorothea (rouse Awarded Increased
Annnlty for Medical Treatment.
NEW YORK, April 7.— Although Dor
othea ESgarita Crouse is only eleven
years old, Surrogate Arnold has decided
that he is justified in increasing her al
lowance for her maintenance and sup
port from $7,500 to $12,000 a year on ac
count of her poor physical condition.
She has an estate to her credit of $809,500
with the New York Security and Trust
company. Her Income is $31,420 annual
ly.
The child, who is now living abroad
with her mother, Countess Kula Hen
rietta Rotulicka, receives her fortune
from the estate of E'aniel Edgar Crouse,
of Syracuse, N. V., who died Nov. 21,
I&U2, leaving several millions, after a
contest over his willand through a set
tlement with his heirs.
Countess Rotulicka, in asking for the
increase granted, declared that Dorothea
was very delicate, and had a tendency
to lateral curviture of the spine, and
that she was under the treatment of
eminent physicians in Europe, who
looked upon her case as a very im
portant one; which demanded the most
careful treatment, under the most favor

GENUINE MEDICAL ADVICE
cannot be given by a man or woman who is not a
physician. Remember too that there are grades in
medical experience and skill, and that Dr. Pierce
with his staff of nearly a score of trained special
ists, his more than thirty years' experience, and his
record of over half-a-million women treated, with
ninety-eight in every hundred cured, offers you free,
more skilful service than money can buy outside the
great cities, where such skill can be bought, but
only by the wealthy. The proof of Dr. Pierces
special skill lies in the fact that a large part of his
cures have been performed in cases where the local
physicians had utterly failed to give help.
"I write you to let you know the great benefit I have received
from your medicines, and by following your advice regarding
self-treatment at home," writes Mrs. Selma Erickson of 406
Rice Street, St. Paul, Minn. " When I first wrote you I had
been to three different doctors and two of them said I would
never get better without going to the hospital for an operation.
I just aat down and cried and said, ' If I have to die, I will die
at home with my two dear little ones.' I had a miscarriage in
May last and was weak all summer. Was not able to do any- *
thing. If I would get up and walk to the kitchen and back I
would have to lie in bed for a day or sometimes two days. I^ast
August I picked up one of Dr. Pierce s pamphlet 9 and read ol
his wonderful work. I wrote to him for information and re
ceived an answer within five days from the day I wrote, advis
ing me \o try his medicines. Now I have used six bottles of his
Favorite Prescription ' and six of the ' Golden Medical Discov
ery,' and the result Is just wonderful. I did not tell the doctors
what I was taking. I have not been to any physician sine* the
day I received the first letter from Dr. Pierce, and I feel as good
as I ever did before I had the miscarriage. I was 90 nervous I
had to have some one by my side all the time even in day time,
and I could hardly -eat anything. I took treatment from a doc
tor twice a week, and every time I would go there I felt so sick,
but since I quit all the doctors and began taking your medicines
I gained right along. I have gained 40 pounds within the last
four months. I weighed 125 whea I began taking your medi
cines (in August) and now I am up to my usual weight, 165. I
cannot thank you enough for your wonderful medicines, and I
wish you every success in the treatment of other cases as you
have had in mine. lam as well and feel as good as ever. "

pain of body which waiting mothers so often suffer ;

strength to nurse and nourish the j little one into
robust childhood, and makes a "hippy household
chime for weans and wife."
