To tho Editor of Tho Ileo: With the npproneh of the tlrao when tho republicans must hold their county convention to plneo their legislative ticket In nomination, will It not bo well to look existing conditions squarely in tho face? What every good republican wants to see in Douglas county Is n united party that will not only carry tho legislative ticket to success, but nlso help glvo Nebraska's electoral voto to McKlnley and redeom Nebraska completely from populism. Wo must abovo nil avoid embroiling those within tho republican fold In fuctlonal contention that may react to tho party's letrtment at the polls. Yet thero ic gravo danger that tho conlllcting interests of distinguished aspirants for tho position of United States senntor mny divide tho re publican forces so sharply that they can with dllllculty be brought together. As a way to avoid this danger anil nt the same tlmo relievo tho different legislative candidates from ombnrrns3ment, I venturo to suggest that tho fairest aud best way to settle tho qunstlon Is for nil candidates for United States senator to submit their names on the primary ballot for an ex pression of preference from the republican voters themselves. If tlioy will do this, this expression will bo n practical Instruc tion of tho delegation to uso all their efforts in behalf of tho successful candi date In case wo havo a republican legisla ture. Tho submission of tho question to tho party through tho primaries would, I am sure, strengthen thorn rattier man weaken Douglas county republicans in tho battlo of the ballots, nnd I believe thnt the senn torlal osplrnnts owo It to tho party to adopt some such plan to determine which haB tho party s call.

The refusal of an Omaha hotel keeper to allow his scales to be examined by the city Inspector of weights and measure has cauued the city authorities to give tho ordl nance on this subject careful study. The ordinance states that all scales used either In the purchiihe or nalo of goods shall bo lliupected. rutting a literal Interpretation on theso wordu, city Inspectors havo re quired nil hotel and restaurant keepers to havo their scales examined. After looking Into tho matter the city at torney is of the opinion that the ordinance intendb that private scales nhall be ex empted when they aro used merely to weigh goodh that havo been previously weighed on scahn that are subject to In spection, as the public is In no way affected by the uso of scale used for this purpose.

Tho ambition to demonstrate tho pos sibilities of beet culture In this county has had it Inspiration In the general under standing that as soon as n sulllclent acreage of beets to make such an enterprlso prollt nblo could bo assured for the Immediate vicinity of this city cnpltal was In waltlnc to establish a beet nugar factory In Omaha. It was with thia unden.tnndlng that a few of tho progressive members of the Commer cial club organized tho Omaha llect (Irow crs' association, with a membership of nbout thirty and a subscribed capital stock of nbout $7,000 or $8,000. Tho ofllcors of this organization nro: 'President, John II. Utt; secretary and treasurer, F. II. Hoch stetler; chairman board of directors, M. C. Peters. The active supervision of tho oper ations of tho association has been with Mr. Peters. Diligent promotive work on tho part of this association has led to tho cultivation of nearly or quite 300 acres of sugar beets In tho lmmedlato vicinity of Omaha nnd South Omaha during the season and tho ex periment promises distinct success. Tho as sociation Itfelf has cultivated nbout 150 acres, of which fifty nre located near Hen son, sixty aro upon what Is known ns tho Parker tract Just north of Miller park and forty nro upon the Williamson tract Just east of old Fort Omaha. Simill rielil Yield W.-ll. In nddtllon to what It has cultivated Itself tho osDoclntlon has encouraged the cultiva tion by others of about os many acres more. The Commercial club of South Omaha en tered Into tho spirit of the experiment with commendable zenl and energy and has tnkon the responsibility of raising nbout seventy ncrcs. Small property owners have undertaken to nld tho movement by the cultivation of beets In tracts 'of flvo nnd ten ucrcs, running tho cntlro acreage up to about UOO. As far as can bo ascertained they havo met with uniform succo3S, nnd It no untoward conditions nwalt them will nil rcallzo a reasonable profit upon their In ostiiient nnd rcasonublo pay for their trouble and a good rental for their hold ings. Tha smnll trncts are located around Omaha nud South Omaha and nro mostly cultivated by gardeners. At present the prospects nro said to bo very bright, but continuous rains might yet destroy or Im pair tho sugar properties of tho beets, nnd some apprehension hns been excited by ro ports that n green cut worm has been devastating sugnr llclds out near Hustings. Luckily this worm has not manifested a disposition to como this way. When the cultivation was first begun by tho local association Its promoters had a general Idea of what was necessary In beet culture, but they havo since learned a great deal of necessary detail which would cnnblo them tn effect a material saving In tho samo work anothor year. Thoy havo been under tho necessity of hiring everything dono In tho way of actunl supci vision at the fields, and things havo at times not been pushed ns they would havo been had some ono been on hand who had a financial Interest In the success of tho enterprise. Then much hns been learned ns to tho best methods of preparing tho fields for tho seeds, of planting and of cultivation that would ho of great piollt in a renewal of tho experiment. i:peiiNe of I'roiliieiliin. It Is thought probablo that when tho as sociation shall h.ivo harvested Its crop the total expense, Including tho loading upon ears for shipment to the factory, will have reached J 10 per acre, vblch is Bald to be at least $10 per aero more than tho same work would cost next year, with tho ex perience gained by the association during tho past summer. Hut even with somo $1,500 of added expense duo to lncxpcrl enco tho promoters feel that they aro going to mako u llttlo money out of their venture, which will bo very gratifying, ns at ono tlmo they wero quite sure that they were sure to lose a considerable sum. Under n contract with tho Ames sugar factory the authorities of that Institution, to encourage tho culture, have agreed to assumo nil freight charges for carrying the beets from Omaha to the factory. That Is, they will pay for tho beets on boVrd tie cars 'at Omaha tho samo prlco they pay to tho farmers at the factory. That price Is $1 per ton for beets running 12 per cent sugar of a specified purity. The association fig ures that on Its 1B0 acres It will have at least 1,700 tons, which at $4 will yield It $C,S00. If tho 1C0 cost $40 an acre, Includ ing ground rental, this wdll lcavo n profit on tho boots of about $800. Thero Is another sourco of material profit however. Tho tops of tho boots aro salable for feed purposes for stock. Tho tops and culls of nn aero of beets aro esti mated by experts to bo equivalent to twenty-llvo bushels of corn for food pur poses, nnd a considerable rovenuo Is al ways derived from that portion of the crop. Tho tops of tho Ilenson tract havo already been contracted to dairymen for $3 nn acre, nnd If tho remainder of tho holdings of tho association do ns well, which is probable, that portion of tho crop will yield $150. Mdtliiinte of the Crop. "Tho estimate of 1,700 tons for tho 150 acres," says John R. Utt, "Is an lnsldo estimate, nnd I'll show you why. An Ideal crop of beets would bo where tho boots would bo eight Inches npnrt and weigh n pound each. Thoro nro twenty-two rows of beets In nn ncro, each row being eighty rods long. Tho twenty-two rows would bo 1,700 rods, or 29,010 foot long. If tho beots wero but eight Inches apart thoro would bo 43,5G0 of them, and If thoy weighed n pound nptcco thoro would bo nearly twenty-two tons of them. "Now wo havo n pretty good stand of beets in all ot our fields except nbout twen ty acres of the Pnrkcr tract, whllo in tho nggrcgato the stand Is a good one. Wo havo many beets that will run two and three pounds when ready for the harvest. Hut supposo wo only had one-pound beets every sixteen inches apart, tho yield would bo eleven tons to tho acre, nnd but a very little over eleven tons to the ncre would glvo us tho 1,700 tons upon which we are figuring ns n certainty. Of course, If the beets run better than or havo moro than 12 per cent sugar, which is about tho mini mum of good beets, wo will be that much hotter off. "As far as I can learn all tho other par ties who havo cultivated beets around Omaha havo dono nt least ns well ns wo have. Some of them, those who havo been nblo to caro for tho beets with the help of their families without hiring help that Is too often neglectful, havo done much better. 1 don't think there Is any question that next year beet culturo In this vicinity will sus tain n distinct Impetus nnd that the acre age will bo much lnrger than It is this year." jm mm ii In 1 1 ill Hi c " - 1 1 UAMTFWZm $2.50 MEN'S FINE PANTS for The entire stock of men's fine pants from Levy, Rosenfeld & Co., including fancy striped worsteds, n o w clioviota and lino cassimerus hun dreds of patterns to select, from, in dark, medium and light shades.

Al though Mrs. Ilarr Is confident that tho girl has become it mother before the present time, tho records of the rescuo homes do not bear hor namo and tho descriptions of women who havo recently left tho homes do not correspond with those of the missing country girl. Thursday morning a young woman with n baby girl 2 weeks old upplled at the Child Saving instltuto and asked lo havo tho baby ciued for, but was refused, Thn description given of the woman has led Mrs. Ilarr to b"licvu that it wus Saruh Lockey ami bho hopes to locate her somcwdiero In thn city.
