TWENTY SECOND YEAR
Open With Valley Beets
October 7th the Standard Sugar Beet
Co of Amos Nebraska opened this
seasons run with a 12 hours run of beets
shipped from the Republican Vnlley
There were 240 tons of beets in the ini
tial run and the average sugar per cent
was 171 a very high and satisfactory
average by the way
The Standard people are now shipping
daily 75 tons from McCoak 75 tons
from Redwillow and 115 tons from Cul
bertson
So far his season the average pried
paid tho raisers of sugar beets has been
150 per ton The average tare has
been 5 per cent In some instances tho
tare has been as small as 1 per cent
The new system of weighing analy
zing determining tare etc is proving
very satisfactory Jt makes it possible
for a farmer to know tho same day he
brings his load of beets to town just
what that shipment will nethim And
further it enables him to correct any err
ors in future in the matter of topping or
whatever the failing may have been
The sugar per cent of the beets being
shipped is larger than expected but the
tonnage is hardly up to expectations on
account of the light stand resulting
from the wet weather in planting time
However the fine quality of tho beets is
in a measure making up for tho tonnage
shortage
Altogether the season promises to bo
a very satisfactory one
The Martin Phelps Commission Co
It is a pleasure to note the fact that
local merchants anddealers in other
towns in this part of tho state are appre
ciating tho efforts of the Martin Phelps
Commission Co of our city to meet their
wants in the line of fruits vegetables
nuts etc in fact in everything usually
found a wholesale and commission
business
Last week tho company received three
carloads of- superior apples They are
handling about a carload every week
nnw n3 thn SRnRnn frr tho nnnlo frnrln is

well under way and they are of coursel enr an eln
making that a specialty
However they deal in everything in
their line in season and The Tribune
hopes they will receive merited trade
and that the business may assume larger
and larger proportions as the company
expects to bs a permanent institution in
our city

Burned to Death By Gasoline
The following account of tho death of
Mrs Henry Hanlein is taken from an
Emporia Kansas newspaper Mrs Han
lein was Miss Dell Gerver of this place
and her husband Doc Hanlein was
formerly employed on the Western divi
sion
Mrs Henry Hanlein died early this
morning from tho effect of terrible burns
sustained last night at her home 113
West street from a gasoline explosion
The accident was ono of the worst of its
nature that ever happened in Emporia
Last evening just after dark Mrs Han
lein began preparations for supper She
found that her supply of gasoline was
out so she went to her next door neigh
bor Mrs Horton and borrowed a pitcher
full of gasoline Upon returning the
pitcher of gasoline was placed upon a
table while Mrs Hanlein prepared the
tank for filling On tho table with the
pitcher several feet distant from it was
a lighted lamp The oil sat there long
enough to distill its fumes about tho
room and when Mrs Hanlein began fill
ing the tank of the stove the fumes
ignited by the lamp and the room in an
instant was filled with flames This ex
ploded the pitcher full of gasoline and
by the explosion Mrs Hanleins clothes
were set on fire No one else was in the
room at the time of the accident Mrs
Hanleins daughter was at tho home of
Mrs Horton next door Tho only per
son in tho house at the time was a
roomer Mr Crawford who was in bed
asleep Mr Crawford is laid up with a
sore foot He was awakened by the wo
mans cries and tried to get an answer
as to what was the matter but failing
in this he started for the stairway By
this time Mrs Hanlein had started up
stairs all of her clothing on fire Craw
ford lost no time in wrapping some
blankets about Mrs Hanlein and finally
succeeded in smothering the flames By
that time the clothes were almost en
tirely burned off
Mrs Horton hearing the commotion
came to the Hanlein home and when
she entered the door the kitchen was on
fire Before sho went up stairs she put
out tho fire in the kitchen and then went
to Mrs Hanleins assistance
A physician was summoned as soon as
possible and Mr Hanlein who is night
yardmaster of the Santa Fe was called
home Mrs Hanlein lived through the
night but suffered terribly She was
conscious most of the time and death
came as a relief this morning about day
light She leaves a husband and an 11-year-old
daughter The funeral ar
rangements will be made later Mr
and Mrs Hanlein have lived in Emporia
10 years and have a large circle of
friends who receive the news of this be
reavement with much sorrow and ex
tend their heartfelt svmnathv to the
family
