Tho lato rains, whilo not injuring tho crop, have retarded its development. And in view of this fact tho company has dectded to give an additional price per ton to those contractors who will mako later deliveries. For November deliveries tho comnanv will nav : cents extra per ton for December beets 3U cents; lor January beets 35 cents; for February beets 40 cents per ton. u lien asiteu what, in his opinion, would tho crop for this factory bo. Ferrar stated that they figured on no less than 35,000 tons. This, ho said, was the lowest possible estimate. Tho factory had about 4,000 acres contracted at the beginning of the season. Sup posing 500 acres in tho different coun ties had failed, there still would bo 3,803 acres in good condition, and these will certainly average moro than pen tons to the acre. A few farmers who havo taken good care of their beets ex pect to harvest twenty-flvo tons to the acre.

The adjutant gen eral states that a sham battle was op posed from tho Start by Major Fchet aud himself for various reasons, one being the liability to accident as proven by past experience.

A passer by dis covered fire at 10:05 o'clock this morn ing in tho Masonic temple, one of the finest Masonic buildings in the United States, tho placo where the Knights Templar triennial conclave was held last week, and a fow moments later an alarm was given from box 53, noted as being locatod in ono of the most dangerous fire districts in the city. At almost tho same time nn nlarm was sent in from box 7a in the Parker house, and all the flro apparatus down town hurried to that place. Tho hotel blaze proved to be trivial, but the con fusion resulting from the almost simul taneous alarms gave tho fire in tho Temple a good start before tho ap paratus arrived, District Chief Hugan, who was on ton of the tower of tho Tremont street side of tho building, found tho flames curling up around him and was forced to jump to tho roof, almost twenty feet below. Ho escaped uninjured. About the samo tlmeatubo on chem ical engine No. 3 exploded and Lieu tenant Madden, who wns working On tho engine, was thrown to tho ground and probably fatally injured. He struck on his head and it was believed his skull was fractured. ' In less than an hour the roof of the magnificent building had fallen, car rying down what tho flro baft left of the thrC'O upper stories, and making hopeless tho task of saving anything but tho lower floor.

A new cure for consumption has been reported to tho state department by United States Consul Chancellor at Havre. Ho says it was first brought to the attention of the world at a congre&s of physi cians nnd scientists at Bordeaux to consider the question of combatling consumption by vaccination. Murlgliano, an Italian, read a papery which, attracted much attention, claim ing to havo discovered an eillcaeious process for tho treatment of consump tion by the injection of tubular serum. which, he says renders the disease immune. Tho consul recalls the comparative failures of other attempts to treat con sumption successfully und says this particular process Is s,ill In the "experi mental stage. The paper is open to several objections, for Professor Mnrl gliano gives no precise- information as to his process for obtaining the scrum, which can bo had only from himself, and his statistics aro incomplete and kicking confirmation.

HYPNOTISM IN CRIME. Tho Subject DlncUBjcd by tho Medico Legal Congres. Nbw Yonic, Sept. 9. The third day's session of tho Medico-Lcgnl congress began by tho reading by Clark Bell of a paper by Gustavo Bochm on "Tho Brutality of Capital Punishment." Tho author contended that tho death penalty had no doterrant effect; that it was a rclie of feudal barbarism, nnd was merely an act of rovongo on tho pi 1 ? ,no stttl0, Tm"o afternoon scs sioiias'opencd with the reading of a wpc by Clark Boll on "Hypnotism hi the Coutts of Law." Mr. Bell pointed out that It appeared tho majority of medical men in this country did not recognize hyp notic traneo as an existing fact. The lawyers and judges wcro on the same grounds ns tho doctors. In the courts of Europo tho contrary was tho fact and men of the highest charnctor and Erofcssional attainments devoted their est efforts to its study and elucida tion. As it wns with professional men, so it is with tho jpeople. Professor Carl Sextus of Chicago wrote I o say that a natural criminal could bo mado to do criminal acts under hypnotic influence, but not a person of real moral worth. Dr. W. L. Howard of Baltimore said that hypno tism was a reality. Ho gave several instances of hypnotized persons in Baltimore, including his own servant, whom ho sent to a neighboring phj'sl clan's laboratory to steal everything tho doctor had. He restored tho fellow whilo ho had tho articles still in his possession. The doctor confessed that it affected the man's brain somewhat, but he always tookcaro, except on this occasion, to get tho subject back into a good mental stato before ho com pletely restored him. The doctor also hypnotized a bank cashier nnd mnde him steal 845,000. Ho performed an operation in tho John Hopkins university with the patient under hypnotic influence. Hypnotism Was invaluable as a corrector of morals. Dr. G rover of Massachusetts told of a young woman in Boston who had n tendency to tuberculosis being cured by hypnotic influence. SHORT $1,500,000. The Horn! Syndicate Fulls to Keep Up the Gold Itcscrvo Fund. Washington, Sept. 0. A tolegram received at the treasury department states that 81,000,000 in gold has been withdrawn for oxport from tho sub treasury at New York. Slight gains, however, were mado at Chicago and other points, aggregating 180,000, so tho true amount of tho reserve at tho close of business was 808,513,520. Tho cash balance was 8181,577,108. The treasury ofllcials maintain their usual reticence on tho subject, but there is no doubt that they were some what disappointed and surprised that the syndicate permitted the business day to close without making any de posit. From the first the ofllcials havo confidently believed 8100,000,000 was tho lowest point which tho syndicate would permit the reserve to reach, and hence their inaction at this time is not understood. There is, however, UO-.&kH'av felt, as it is expected the syndicate will come to the rescue on tho flrsfvsign of uneasiness on the part of the public HURLBUT IS DEAD.

The democrats of Nebraska, in con vention assembled, congratulate tho country upon tho sure signs of return ing prosperity. In spite of the evil predictions alike of protectionists and silver inflationists, the country is stead ily and surely gaiuing ground, thuB justifying the wisdom of tho reversal of the republican policies of protective tariff taxes and coinage of a redundant quantity of token-dollars. Tho fact that tho wheels of industry, so long silenced as a consequence of these poli cies by a long and depressing panic, have resumed their wonted motion and that moro than 300,000 lnoorcrs are re ceiving an increase of wages of 12 per cent proves this assertion. CONGRATULATE OKOVEIt. Wo send greeting and congratula tions to Grover Cleveland nnd his cab inet, not only for their wise and pru dent course which has aided so much in bringing about tho better financial .condition, but alco for their firm and fearless adherence throughout tho long depression to sound principles of econ omies', for their just conception of the rights of tho whole people, and for their unswerving fidelity in upholding and protecting the honor and integrity of tho nation against organized mob violence. A GOLD STANDAND. Wo indorse the national democratic platform of 1803 and the interpretation placed thereon by tho president, and we declnro ourselves unequivocally and unreservedly for that metallic money as the standard unit, the bullion and mint value of which are approximately the same, the purchasing power of which, regardless ot government mint age, is tho least fluctuating in all the markets of tho civilized world. Wo insist upon this policy ns especially necessary for tho protection of the farmers, laborers and property owning debtors the most defenseless victims of unstable money and fluctuating cur rency. Free coinage of silver, 10 to 1, means silver monometallism; it means poorer money and Jess of it; it means less wages for the laboring man and less actual money for tho farmer and very much less credit, us well as money for the business man. It means bank ruptcy for all, save tho mine owner. ONLY ONE MENACE. We recognize in the issue and reissue of our treasury notes a serious menace to the stability of the national finances and we favor the retirement of all treasury notes at the earliest possible moment with proper and safe guaran tees for maintaining the necessary vol ume of the currency which shall bo de vised by a competent, non-partisan cur rency commission. The constitution of this state pro vides that no religious test shall bo made as a qualification for office. That provision we accept both in the letter and in the spirit and we condemn every attempt by secret societies or other wise to proscribe any portion of our citizens on account of their religious beliefs or adulations. T. C. Marshall nominated T. J. Ma honey for candidate for justice of tho supremo court The nomination was mado by acclamation and D. W. Camp and J. H. Ames conducted the nominee to the platform. Mr. Mahoney was greeted with ap plause when he stepped to the front of the stage to make his speech of thanks. He said that whether locally the con test was crowned by victory or defeat he thought that the duty of the con vention had been done by holding up before the people the principles of their party. Whether there was one vote or 100,000 for tho candidate of a party if it was true to principle it was right, temporary success did not measure the success of a party. VNIVEHS1TY KEGENTS.

He said emphatically that the laboring classes should have amusement on Sundays and that all who thought otherwise wero hypocrites. These statements were emphasized by tho formation of a baseball club by the minister from among tho attend ants at his church, and with them ho played nt tho park.
