Two Views of Twins.
“I never was so mortified in all my
life!'* she exclaimed.
“What was the matter?” asked her
dearest friend.
“My maid told me that' my fiance
was in the reception room.”
"Yea"
, “And 1 threw my arms around him
and kissed him twice before I discover
ed that it was his twin brother. Take
my advice and never become engaged
to a twin.”
“On the contrary, I think I shall
look for one. It just doubles the fun.”

GROW RICH, EVERT FARMER.
The editor thinks It to be the wish of
everybody to grow rich, not for the sake
of the money, but for the good that can
be done with the money. . Now, there
are three new cereals recently created
that will make money for the farmer.
One is Silver King' Barley, the most
wonderful creation of the age, yielding
'90, 100 to 116 bu. per acre in 1896, and
there are thousands of farmers who be- ^
lleve they can grow 150 bu. per acre
therefrom in 1896.
Then there is Silver Mine Oats, yield
ing in 1895 209 bu. per acre. Every
farmer who tested it, believes 250 bu.
possible.
Then there is Golden Triumph Corn,
which produced over 200 bu. per acre,
and 250 bu. is surely possible.
And potatoes, there is Salzer’s Ear
liest, which was fit for table in 28 days
in 1895, yielding tremendously, while
the Champion of the World, tested in a
thousand different places In 1895, yield- I
ed from 8 to 1,600 bu. per acre. I
Now, in Salzer's new catalogue there j
is a wonderful errayal of new varieties
of wheat, oats, barley, rye, potatoes,
grasses, clovers and forage plants, and
the editor believes that it would pay
every farmer a thousand-fold tefget this
catalogue before buying seeds.
If you w II out this Oa, and send it
with 10 cents postage to the John A.

will receive, free, 10 grain and grass

Gladness Comes
With a better understanding- of the
transient nature of the many phys
ical ills, which vanish before proper ef
forts—gentle efforts—pleasant efforts—
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge, that so many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to a constipated condi- ,
tion of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative. Syrup of Figs, prompt
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, and is
everywhere esteemed so highly bv all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without debilitating the.
organs on which it acts. It is therefore
all important, in order to get its bene
ficial effects, to note when you pur
chase, that you have the genuine arti
cle, which is manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by
all reputable druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, laxatives or
other remedies ore then not needed. If
afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most skillful
physicians, but if in need of a laxative,
one should have the best, and with the
well-informed everywhere. Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most largely
used and gives most general satisfaction.

A SUGAR BEET BOOM.
NEBRASKA WELCOMES THE
SACCHARINE VEGETABLE.
And Will Do Wliat It Can to Encourage
Growth of the Sam—Mach Enlighten
ment on the Subject by Men Who Haro
Made Sugar Beet Culture a Study—
Beet Sugar Factories, the Bounty Ques
tion. Etc., Etc.
Nebraska** Coming Indastrj
Thero was deep and absorbing; inter
est in all the proceeding's of the Beet
Sugar convention held at Fremont. On
the second day of the meeting the first
matter taken up was selection of place
for holding the next convention.
Several points were considered, Grand
Island finally being chosen. The date
was left to the executive committee,
with a recommendation that it be fixed
at a time when the Grand Island fac
tory is in operation. ...
Harry O’Neill, who represents the
new method known as the Masse-Cuite
process, intended for small factories
for reducing the crop to raw sugar for
the refinery was introduced. The clar
ified juice, he said, after being treated
with lime and all the impurities, taken
out, is put through a copper cylinder,
through which a current o: hot air
passes. An experiment was made at
Grand Island on juice 8.6 per cent su
gar and 91.4 per cent water. After
passing twice through the cylinder the
result was 8.5 per cent water and 91.5
per cent sugar.
With the assurance of a continuation
of the bounty law the process will be
rapidly developed. If the bounty law
remains unchanged after the next leg
islature the company will be ready for
operations.
In the discussion following Mr.
O’Neill’s talk it was brought out that
a,plant with the capacity of 100 tons
a day would cost about 830,000. The
coippany will encourage co-operation
and will not sell the machines.
Chairman Furnas of the committee
on resolutions reported. The resolu
tions favor a state and national bounty
for the encouragement of the sugar in
dustry; recommended the formation of
county associations; indorse the trans
Mississippi exposition at Omaha; in
dorse the Nebraska club, the state irri
gation association and the irrigation
fair at North Platte. Thanks were ex
tended the state board of agriculture
for its work. Improved methods of
soil culture is favored The beet sugar
enterprise was recommended and
thanks extended to the citizens of Fre
mont for their hospitality. A resolu
tion by Peter Jansen was submitted
and adopted, thanking ex-Governor
Furnas for his long and arduous labor
in helping to build up Nebraska.
Superintendent Granger of the Utah
sugar factory was present and address
ed the convention from the factory
standpoint The first crop was raised
in Utah in 1891, when 9,960 tons were
produced and made up, and in 1895
38,000 tons were made up. The aver
age of sugar per ton of beets was 190
pounds. The factory cost 8750,000.
Bast year a dividend of 10 per cent was
declared. The factory lost money at
first, but the business has grown
steadily. This is one of the factories
that is wholly American. The factory
pays 84.25 for beets with 11.80 stan
dard. A farmer is selected in every
community to do business between the
farmers and factory. No beets less
than the standard are taken at any
price.
Hon. C. J. Green gave an eloquent
and stirring address on the importance
of the sugar question, of its vast con
sumption and small production in this
country. His address was the most elo
quent one. of the convention. He re
viewed at length the tariff legislation
of the country, with an appeal for its
application to the sugar and other
manufacturing interests of the day.
“The Possibilities of Nebraska” was
ably treated by R. M. Allen, president
of the association. The experience of
Nebraska as a sugar-producing state
was compared with other states and
countries, showing that they did not
always meet with success. The crop
in Europe was very rich. Their beets
are firmer and contain more sugar than
is possible in this country, which may
be due to climatic conditions and to
seed. . Germany can produce four and
a half more tons of beets to the acre,
with 3 per cent more in raw sugar than
is possible here. In Russia the indus
try is under control of the government
and possesses all the elements that
go to make sugar culture profitable—
fertile soil, cheap fuel and low priced
labor. Beets have been tested with as
high as 35 per cent of sugar. To com
pete with these countries it is apparent
mat we neeu protection. vve wane a
duty on sugar that is lair; not an ex
acting one. Mr. Allen gave his hearers
an insight of all sugar-producing coun
tries the world over and also as to the
yield. Here in Nebraska we have a
good field, the right altitude, ricu soil,
and with skilled labor and a study of
this subject we . may be able to save
much which is now lost, and make dis
coveries of vast benefit to beet culture.
J. S. Hoagland addressed the associa
tion on state legislation. If the bounty
law only tended to the enrichment of
the manufacturer it should be voted
down, but if it was a source of revenue
and made the state prosperous it should
be sustained. He referred to Bchool
taxes and the wolf scalp bounty and
proved that the law was beneficial.
When the industry is established it will
enhance the value of land and prop
erty, make a demand for labor and in
crease the population. He was in favor
of amending the corporation laws so
that large stockholders coujd not
crowd out the small. lie would make
it so there was only one rote for the
man, not a vote for share of stock.
Under this basis he would organize dis
trict factories and county associations.
Hon. W. ti. VVhitemoreof Valley read
a paper on the subject “What Now?”
He regarded this convention as the
most important of any that has con
vened in this state since that which
prepared our constitution. We may
well congratulate ourselves and return
to our homes with this sentiment, “Ne
braska is the place and sugar beets the
stuff.” Men differ because the facts
which form the basis of their judgment
are not understood by them alike. He
failed to see how those people who
had signed a contract with theOxnards
to raise beets of a certain standard of
purity and saccharine contents could
kick because the company refused to
take beets which did not reach that
standard, lie did not believe that the
Oxnards would pursue a course which
1 must inevitably lead to failure, and
[ the kicking of certain parties he as
cribed to the old tendency which began
in the Harden of Kden. The other fel
low did it. The discussion which had
arisen here, he felt sure, would recon
cile the differences existing between
the producer and manufacturer. He
ascribed the failure of the Valley
beet syndicate to the fact that
their beets did not ripen, and
that the land was not in the best
| condition for their growth and develop
ment of their sugar qualities. The
convention was unanimous on ' one
question. That was that Nebraska
is naturally and peremptorily adapted
to the beet sugar industry. We want
i further supervision of the factories by
i having the analysis made by state
chemists. Who'are in nowise interested
in the factories. When this is ac
complished, and the farmer lias " the
same degree of confidence when lio
sends a load of beets to the factory
that he will receive the fair treat
ment he would receive Were he to take
a loud of corn to an elevator then the
industry would advance;.. <
E. M. Norton, state weighmastcr of
the Norfolk factory, read a, paper on
the production of the Norfolk factory.
Since the factory has been in qperation
it has paid for beets the sum of 949?,
427. It has paid to employes 974,GOO,
and the estimated amount it has re
ceived for the sugar it has ’manufac
tured is $886,623, which, after payiug
for coal, coke and lime and other sup
plies, does not leave a very large mar
gin of profit, thougli it shows that the
factory is a success.
| M. A. Lunn of the Beet Sugar indus
try addressed the convention on how to
| secure factories His talk was relative
to his experience in endeavoring to se
cure eastern capital to erect them with
no subsidy other than the land on which
the factory was built. They would do
nothing without a guarantee of acre
age. Mr. Lunn reviewed the ground
covered by other speakers and told his
experience from actual experience.
K W. Reynolds of Freinont read a
most interesting paper on practical
raising. He raised forty acres of beets
this season and cleared $5 an acre after
allowing 94 rental per acre. The treat-,
inent received from the factory was so
satisfactory that he. will plant 100 acres
to beets this season.
Congressman Meikeljohn made a
short address on the merits and pur
poses of the Nebraska clubi Its object
is to advertise the state and encourage
immigration. It belongs to all and is
not a political organization. Every cit
izen should help to advance the associ
ation, which is for the state. The past
two years had blighted its good name
and it would require much labor to get
it upon its old footing.

Deafness Can Not Be Cored
By local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness Is caused by an Inflamed con
dition of the mucouB lining of the lius
tachlan Tube. When the tube Is in
flamed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it Is en
tirely closed Deafness Is the result, and
unless the Inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine eases out of ten are caused j
by Catarrh, which Is nothing but an In- i
flamed condition of the mucous sur- i
faces.

There's all sorts of grades of tobacco plant. The' best
comes from Havana. There’s all sorts of grades of sarsa
parilla plant. The best comes from Honduras. If you
want cheap tobacco, all right—provided you get value for
your money. Cheap tobacco’s not as good to smoke—but
it don’t cost as much.
If you want cheap sarsaparilla .. . But you don’t want
it. Of course you don’t. You are paying for the best.
To pay for the best and get anything but Honduras sar
saparilla is like paying for Havana cigars and getting
Pittsburg “ Stogies.” There’s only one sarsaparilla made
exclusively from the imported Honduras plant That’s
Ayer’s, just keep it in mind that you are paying for
Honduras sarsaparilla when you are paying for the best;
but you don’t get what' you pay for unless you get Ayer’s«
Sarsaparilla.
