The semi-annual apportionment of tlie state school fund will be one of the larg est ever made. Tlie amount to be dis tributed is $274,5,58.35. The condition of trade a reported by Ue commercial aeucies iulicat a nound and prosperous i on lition of business all over tlie United State. Tlie pr.ao ts far increased prosrity during tlie com ing year are There is no leasou why northwest Ne braska cannot have a pk.ee in the front rank as a sui;ar producing locality. It will take some time aud a good deal of liard, earnest work, but persistent elTort v!il bring the desired result. President ILurin has named Stephtu B. Elkens as secretary of war to fill the vacancy caused be the resignation of Secretary Proctor. He is a man of large and varied experience and will conduct the affairs of tlie office with credit to himself and tlie administration, A storui partaking of tlie nature of a cyclone jiassed over Southeastern Ne braska the lirst of the week and did con siderable damage. No lives were lost so far as heard from. It is reported that the death of Senator Plumb will remove the only formidable rival of G. M. Lamberfcson for tlie aj pointment as member of the interstate railway comniision. A corporation has. organized at Craw, ford for tlie purpose of erecting and or- atinga motor line between tliat town and Fort Robinson. The people of northwest Nebraska are beginning to demonstrate that they have the true western push which rapidly develops a oew country. Senator Plumb, of Kansas, died sud denly of apoplexy at Washington, D. C, about noon last Sunday. He had been ailing for some months, but no one sup posed it was at all serious. Senator Plumb was one of tlie hardest working senators and was a power in all matters to which Ik turned his attention. He had served in the senate for fourteen years and his present term would have lasted until 1895. Chilian authorities appear to be deter mined to get up a row with the United States. They continue to insult the American minister and act in a manner Unbecoming by one nation- toward an other. It may lje necessary for Uncle Bum to administer a severe rebuke to . Chili. This nation lias such a reputation Tor pursuing peace policies that the time fa approaching when more arbitrary methods will have to be adopted in order lo retain a proper respect from foreign nations. Tlie crop rejiorts from Illinois are to tlie effect tliat winter wheat lias been very much damaged by droutli. A short crop or total failure in tliat state means a great loss by reason of the land' being so high priced, and the tliousands of far mers there who are paying high cash rent will receive a heavy backset. IKXJltLE 101B XOXEY. A body of fifteen or twenty masked men entered 1 lie juil at DeWitt, Ark., last Monday morning and shot to death three prisoneis conlined there, charged with an attempt to'murder the divorced wife of one of the prisoners. No clue was left as lo the identity of the perjie- t tutors and no excitement followed the event. ' It was simply one of those cases where the law appeal's to lie inadequate or too dilatory and the people took the matter into their own hands. A strong effort has been made by Sec retary Busk and Senator Paddock to Open a new field for American products by induertjf Jturopeans to adopt corn as h breadstuff. Tlie result has been a par tial success. The fact that in Russia fchere are thousand of people on the verge of starvation offers an opportunity to further press the claims of onr corn. With this end in vie af movement has been inaugurated by Got. Thayer to have Nebraska? send a train load of corn to Russia as a contribution. While it will afford comfort to many a person suffering from hunger it will also be one the best advertisements of corn that eotrtCpossliily be made and it is quite likely tliat the train load of corn will soon be ready to ship. Tlie famine in Russia is still of appall ing proportions and it will require tlie Expenditure of a vast aniMtrit df money oy tne governrKWJ? to keep the people alive. Tlie condition of ff ntassesfis w6rsethan tlie people of tlie United States can comprehend, for in Russia the masses do not enjoy the prosperity and o portunilies of otlier countries for the accumulation of nvans to meet the Aemands of a crop failure. There, life is a sort of liand-to-mouth existence and wlien the daily supply is cut off they are reduced to the verge of starvation. The combined effort Of flife Russian govern ment1 and aid from otlier nations will gifcatly aesist :n the work of relief , yet, notwithstanding tliat,' a great (teal of suffering will have to be endured by the frore? classes of that nation; It is a pteasirtg contrast to note that while the papers iff many of the count of the state filled with notices of real estate foreclosims there are none in the papers of Sioux county,' nV has' them too except in a few instances' and these were mostly those of parties' who Had' nWedout. There are two reasons, for fy On is tifcW the loans made in JKoux county were not of the wild-cat order and the other is that Uil'toftter of 8kux county are trying to meet theirl Jjlili'i.il' J!.l s.J Jill:. -I : .

The growth of these places is Dot of the mushroon char acter, but a solid substantial improve ment founded on good business. Take a factory which consumes tlie product of 3,000 acres of beets. Estimate the yield at only ten tons per acre and base the price on the offer now made of ft. 50 per ton. This- distributes the snug sum of $225,000 paid to the farmers who grow the beets. In addition to that there is the cost of the plant, the wages of the operatives and coal, lime and other ma terial consumed. Then there is the necessaries of life which those employed in growing the beets and converting them into sugar have to have, thereby creating a good market for the products raised by those not growing beets and the stocks of goods handled by the mer chants. These few facts are sufficient to prove to all men who have any idea of business that a sugar factory is one of the greatest acquisitions a locality can make.

I itANOARDfowrtecnTuay The beet sugar convention at Lincoln last week was one of the most notable gatherings ever held in tlie state. The leading men of all localities, creeds and parties met there on a common level in the interest one of the most important matters that has ever called a represen tative convention together in "the state. A great deal of valuable information was' gathered and almost every county in the state was represented at tlie convention. Dawes county liad large delegations from both Chadron and Crawford. Sioux county was represent ed by C. E. Holmes. The trend of opin ion wafc strongly in favor of a bounty to be paid direct to the grower and that is simply tlie reflection of the opinion of the masses all over the state, It Was decided to form a permanent state organ ization and to carry on tlie work by or ganizing county societies in the inter est of tlie sugar beet culture. Tlie fol lowing permanent officers were elected: Hon. Geo. D.- Meikiejbhn, president; W. rlf. Nason,-secretary, and four Wee-presi dents and an assistant secretary. Noth ing in the line of agriculture has so stirred up the people of the state of Ne braska as has tlie sugar beet enterprise and it bids fair to increase in interest and proportions until this state becomes the greatest sugar producing state of the union. t it i Awes "2 ) ( ESnf.

The achievements of this famous paper in the past liave been great but if its promises for the future are to be fulfilled and there certainly is no reason to expect the contrary the Detroit Free Pre will in 1893 be, as its publishers confidently Claim the most entertaining and instruc tive paper published, giving additional pleasures to its thousands of pd sub scribers and fresh enjoyment to the many thousand new ones that its merits de serve. Its list of contributors for 1892 includes many of tlie most famous names in American literary and public life, and most of tlie articles to be published are of unusnal importance and interest, pre senting a splendid array of valuable fea tures in addition to the inimitable work done by its own staff of bright and fam ous writers. The publishers of the Free Pren will mail copies of the paper and prospectus to all applicants. nVINBROTKIRS DRY HOP :- . YEAST m d QUICK RISER ron- UGllTtDllEAB tutUaMaAixtrotuaujisii 11 . 17EEKLT .
