THE NORTH PLATTE SEMI-WEEKLY TRIBUNE: FRIDAY EVENING, JANUARY 4, 1895. IRA L. BARE, Editor and Proprietor SUBSCRIPTION RATES. One Year, cash in advance, fl.25. Hix Months, cub in advanco 75 Cents. Bntered at theNorthPlatte (Nebraska) postofflce as second-claps matter. NORTH PLATTE, NEBRASKA, is centrally situated In the triangular figure bounded by lines drawn from Omaha to Cheyenne, thence to Denver, from thenco to starting point. It is 291 miles fiom the first named city, 225 miles from the second, and 250 miles from the third. Having a population of 4,000 people it is the head quarters of both freight and passenger divisions of the U. P. R'y Co., and is the home of nbont 500 railway employes whoso monthly pay roll amounts to some $35,000.00. Almost 200 miles of irrigation canals are rapidly nearing completion, which will bring into the highest state of cultivation 150.000 acres of the most productive land upon which the ran'e rays shine. The citizenship of North Platte is that of the best afforded by the older states, and her people are active, progressive and prosperous. To the industrious, energetic home-seeker from the crowded east North Platte and Lincoln county presents unusual advantages. Thousands of acre" of vacant government land, in cloto proximity to those already being brought under irrigation, may be obtained by consulting the United States land office in North Platte. A letter of inquiry to "U. a. Register, North Platte, Neb.," relative to the nbove will bo courteously answered. Irrigated farming is no longer an experiment, but has reached the point where it is acknowledged as pre-eminently the safest in all seasons method o? conducting agricultural and horticultural oper ations. The salubrious and life-giving climate of Lincoln county, where malaria is unknown and where pulmonary troubles are unthought of, is ttnothor incentive to the location therein of those who are anxious to enjoy tho good things of this life as long as possible. North Platte churches and schools are above those of eastern- communi ties, tho latter being one of the few in Nebraska permitting the graduate thereof to enter the State University without an intermediate preparatory training. Tho peoplo of the community gladly welcome the honest, industrious eastern citizen who is eager to better his condition and assisting in the upbuilding and development of a comparatively new country. WiTn almost 16,000 marriages occuring- in Chicago during- the year 1894, it looks as if the public gener ally is not disposed to believe mar riage a failure. It is said that Mrs. Burton Har rison received 1 cents per word for writing the Bachelor Maid." The 60,000 words therein thus netted her the sum of S4.500. Who says that literature does not pay even in this golden age of books. Hector M. Sinclair was ap pointed by Gov. Crounse to fill the vacancy made in the 12th judicial occasioned by Silas Holcorab being called to the governorship. He was formerty prosecuting attorney for this district and is well fitted for the position. The up to date medical man has discovered that it is not necessary for him to engage in military pur suits in order to acquire surgical experience. It is now the custom for him to attach himself to some crack college foot ball team, and he thus has the opportunity to perfect himself in this part of his business. The wages of 700 Sclav laborers were cut by the Carnegie Steel Co., at Braddock, Pa., from $1.40 to SI. 20 a day. in consequence of which they struck. The company claimed to be able to fill their places within twenty-four hours, yet if it is un able to do this operations will tem porarily cease, and some 3,000 men will be thrown out of employment. Another object lesson as to the effect of a protective tariff upon the wage question. i A city contemporary chronicles the fact that ex-premier Gladstone's sight has recently been so far im proved that he is now able to read ten or twelve daily. Great Scott! How man more hours would you want the grand old man to put in at this sort of study or recreation? A longer indulgence b- a man of 3ears would indicate that he is burning his candle at both ends. And now it is said that Governor Altgeld is preparing in his annual message to the Illinois legislature to roast Mayor Hopkins, of Chicago for the position which the latter assumed during the great railway strike of last summer. It is a ques tion as to which one of the quar tette of statesmen Altgeld. Llew cling. Pennoyer and Waite is in the language of Dogberry the most consummate ass. The Nebraska legislature ap pears to be getting down to busi ness in the matter of relief for need settlers in the western por tion of the state. A joint commit tee has been selected to investigate the subject, which will perhaps re port a bill authorizing the bonding of counties for the purchase of seed, etc. Should this measure be adop ted by the legislature about S400. 000 of the permanent school fund of the state is available for invest ment in this class of securities. The Chicago Inter Ocean credits Senator Manderson as being a can didate for the position of secretary of the senate of the Fifty-fourth session of congress, and Hon. E. K. Valentine as desirous of becom ing sergeant-at-arms of the same body, when it organizes next March. How much better would seem the propriety if these gentlemen would not thus consent to participate in a scramble for these minor positions, but would engage in private pur suits until such time as they would see fit to enter the political arena. The republican members of the Nebraska legislature in joint caucus assembled on Tuesday afternoon made Hon. John M. Thurston a New Year's present of his nomina tion for the position of United States senator by a vote of seventy- one representatives and twenty-five senators. The nomination was made by acclamation, and should Lbe highly gratifying both to Mr. Thurston and his may friends. The petition for appeal from Judge Brewer's decision in the Ne braska maximum rate bill has been filed in Judge Dundy's court, and has been allowed. Here is the golden opportunit of which the republican party of the state wil' avail itself of showing the people that it is heartily in favor of rail way regulation. The Tribune devotes a consider able space in this issue as to the experience of one who has made the cultivation of the sugar beet a study in fact reduced his knowl edge to a science. As the proba bilities are that North Platte will, in the not distant future, have in operation a factory for the extrac tion of sugar from beets, it is nec essary that those contemplating engaging in the raising of beets have the benefit of the experiences of others in this direction. The Sugar Beet in Agriculture. Continued from 1st page. porlation to market. This, of course, applies only when tho hay is fed wh re it is grown, and not at a pric- which in cludes a charge for the baling and trans portation of the hay itself. Beet pulp cannot be profitably used, as I think, except when fed to animals that are sheltered in a warm place. I havo not been abl to make much experiment of this, and it is simp'y what I believe after the experiments that I havo made and by watching wht othor people have done in feeding it outdoors. As our country becomes older, however, and as farms become more largely subdi vided, it will be possible and 'profitable for ach farmer to provide sufficient shelter for hi- farm stock and also sui table storage for pulp or forage beets. The average amouLt of ground feed that we have fed to cattle in out door lots in midwinter has principal ranged from twenty-fivf to twenty-eight pounds per day, and for indoor fed ca -tie from sixteen to twenty-two pounds. Last winter we 6hipp- d pulp-fed cattle that had been fed only ten pounds of grain, some that had been fed only six pounds through three-fourths of their feed; some weie marked at the end of four months that had had only six pounds of grain through their entire feed, and a few cattle were marketed that wore fed on corn, ensilage, hay and pulp. I was n't equipped for making these experiments perfect, nor shoul-i 1 expect to be thoroughly satisfied by the results, except after further and more extensive feeding but the experiment0 taught me a great doal and I am full satisfied that a very great and valuab e economy in the feeding of cattle can be reached. I do not know the number of cattle fattened on gram thatare marketed every year from the groat corn states, but I will assume that the number is as large as 3,000,000, and from our own experi ence I will estimate tht the cost of thp food of each animal has been as much a? 19 dollars, or gross cost for food of $75, 000,000. I have estimated that the use of beet pulp would make a saving of 35 per cent and, if this is true, the sat ing in the cattle feed alone, outside of hogs and shnep, would amount to 820, 000,000 in the corn states in one year if applied to all cattle fed. Now, it is not so much the actual saving that is made although that is considerable and is of the greatest value, but it is the possibil ity of reducing the cost to ourselves of fat anim ils for market, as this is and always should be a meat producing country. It does not make any parti cular difference whether the?e figures are accurate or not. Probably further experiment may di-close some error. I believe, however, that any error will be in tho way of my figures being so small Of course, I have no right to apply the economy of beet pulp to all ca'tle will not be fed on pulp, but my figures tell what the economy might be if they were. The point I wish to express is that it will help a certain number of cattle and sheep feeders in the st tt of Nebraska, for instance, to make more money in feeding catt'e than they otherwise would, which results in gain to the state. Besides the pulp, wo have the tops cut off tho beets and the ioaves, for tho consumption f which the cattle can be turned directly onto the field. Feeding cattle on cultivated fields for a while re sults in a cenain amount of fertilization in. every economical way. I estimate the value of the beet tops and leaves at about 82 per acre for feeding purposes Besides these product'' of the sugar beet in planting beets at all wo shall very likely begin to plant some roots that will be fed directly to cattlo. To me therefore, it seems perfectly clear that in the future we can f ed meat animals, well bred and of good quality, sufficiently sheltered, by the use of beets and be-t propucts, at a cost sufficiently low to effect a very valuable saving over the average co-t of to-day, and it is in the securing of such econ omies that we my hope to see our tate in a position to provide an abundant living for an intelligent, prosperous and happy people.

City of Mexico, Jan. 3. It has been rumored that Emilio de Leon, the new Guatemalan minister to Mexico, would leave this republic and return home, by reason of new complications in the boundaries dispute. Whon interviewed the Guatemalan envoy expressed great surpriso that such a report had gained publicity. "The only reason I know of thy I should leave this city is for the purpose of bringing my family from San Francisco," he said. " "This I will probably do in two months, a8 they are resting there previous to their coming here. Aside from this there is no truth whatever in the statement."

Mow Elliott, an Old Enemy of Scott, At retted Identified by Schmidt as One of tba Slasked Men not on tho Trail of Others. O'Neill, Jan. 3. It is believed that Barrett Scott has been murdered and his body thrown into the Niobrara river. Sheriff Hamilton tracked the wagon in which Scott and Schmidt were taken to within a few miles of the river, when all trace was lost, the quicksands in the sec tion of the river would quickly swallow anybody thrown in. Residents of the country in which the crime was commit ted say for the last three or four days a large number of men havo been riding through that portion of the country, all being heavily armed. Members of the posse returned to this city Wednesday evening with Mose Elliott as a prisoners. He was turned over to the deputy sheriff of this county and is now confined in tho county jail. He was arrested at his homo about 20 miles north of this city. The warrant was sworn out by Schmidt, who charged Elliott is being one of the mob who at tacked them, shooting Miss Whorter and probably murdered Scott and spirited his body away. Elliott is a farmer living in Scott township, whioh was named after the missing raau, and has been an avowed enemy of Scott for the last two years, a fact which tho prisoner admitted. Whon arrested he said he was ex pecting it and while he was not always able to prove or explain his whereabouts evere day, ho could prove where he was on the day and at the horn when tho at tack was mado on Scott. He denied bo ig implicated in the case and also de nied knowledge of it. Schmidt insists that Elliott is ono of the men who shot at them.

Novel Flan to Circumvent the Lair. Clinton, la., Jan. 3. A saloonkeeper at Bollovue, a little town north of here in Jackson county, has taken a novel step to get around ono clause of tho mulct liquor law now in force here. One section of the law provides no saloon shall be conducted within 300 feet of a church. Matthew Pinnell runs a saloon at Bellevuo aud his place of business is almost directly across tho street from tho Congregational church. Pinnell's location is the best in town for the liquor business, and to avoid being closed up or compelled to move ho bought the church property, paying $1,100 for it. The Congrcgationalists have now moved into another building. Corn Tor the Nebraska Train. Atlanta, Ga., Jan. 3.
