Tho following from tho beet ugnr

It having been brought to out notico
thnt dissatisfaction exists among the
fanners regarding tho testing of tholr
beots, wc wish to make tho following
suggestions; That tho formers pro
cure u chemist, appointed by tho gov
ernor, or recommended by Prof. Nlchol
bon of tho Stato university, who shall
check tho tests made by tho factory
chemist We will give such a man
overy facility for conducting his work
properly nnd fairly. Wo would suggest
thnt the farmers also appoint some one
to select tho samples from tho wagons
and cars, with our own sampler; that
these beets bo cut in half and bo given
to each chemist, so as to avoid any pos
slblo error by difference of sample, nnd
If tho farmers' chemist proves to bo ac
curate and just in his work wo will ac
cept his tests In case they differ from
our own. In view of tho doubts that
havo been expressed as to tho accuracy
with which wo test tho beets, wo think.
In justice to our company, tho beet
growers should adopt tills plan of con
firming our results, and we further
urgo tho necessity of speedy uctlon in
tho matter, as but little timo remains
for harvesting tho crop. Yours truly,

Lincoln dispatch; Dully reports are
received by tho secretary of stato con
cerning tho sugar industries at Grand
Island and Norfolk. Tho season com
menced October 1. Up to tho lSth inst.
tho receipt of sugar beets at the Grand
Island factory amounted to 4, 120 tons.
Tho nmonnt of granulated sugar man
ufactured to that dato amounts to
400,000 pounds. Thu Norfolk fautory
has received 5,017 tons of beots. It has
produced MO.OOO pounds of granulated
sugar, making a total of sugar inndo
by tho two factories of 700,000 pounds.
These two factories rccoivo on an
average, daily, J, 000 tons of beets, or
l.fiOO apiece. Tho sugar bounty
amounts to SI a ton, In reality, to the
producer, for it was with tho under
standing thnt the beet raiser wus to re
ceive $5 per ton for beets, Instead of
84, that tho bounty of llve-clghts of 1
cent u pound was voted by the last leg
islature. Thus tho two factories at
Grand Island nnd Norfolk lire dis
tributing among tho farmers who went
into the beet Industry about 81,000 a
day each. Tho manufacturing season
lasts about threo months. One-sixth
of this timo has now elapsed. Tho
samo average kept up would give an
output for tho scuson for tho two fac
tories of 4., "00,000 pounds of manufac
tured sugar.
Chicory Crop in Valley County.
North Loup dispatch: Experimental
plats of chicory which were planted
here last season grow with remarkable
vigor during tho entire season, but it
was a great surprlso to all who had
been interested In watching thu growth
of tho plants to learn tho facts in re
gard to what an enormous yield they
were making. Ono plat, raised by
Attorney E. J. Ilabcock, was divided
into sections of rows one rod in length,
from which comparative calculations
could bu made, and after topping and
trimming as required by the fuctory at
O'Neill, tho roots weighed at the rate
of from oight to seventeen tons to tho
acre. As tho German Chicory company
of O'Neill this year pays H0.."0 per ton
for the roots, and the labor required in
their harvesting and tillage does not
greatly exceed that of the sugar beet
it will" be readily been that tho chicory
plant Is one of great promise for cen
tral Nebraska.
SiiRurltoet I'actory OhrnilstH.
Farmers and managers of the flrana
Island and Norfolk beet sugar factories
havo joined in requesting Governor
llolcomb to appoint ono chemist for
each of tho factories. There has been
no complaint concerning tho chemical
analysis conducted by tho fuctorles on
which purchuso of beets aro based, but
hi order to protect both the buyer and
seller of beets and to satisfy all parties
concerned, tho joint request for a chem
ist, who shall servo in the capacity of
un umpire, has been made.
There is no mention of a chemical
analysis in tho sugar bounty bill passed
ly the last icglsiuturo over tne gov
ernor's veto. Thut act simply says no
bounty shall be paid on sugar made
from beets for which us much as S.I a
ton Bhnll not havo been paid. Tills
virtually fixes tho price of beots at S5 a
ton, but tho written contracts with
irrowers state that tho beets must con
tain 13. per cent of succharine matter,
80 per cent of which sliall be pure,
llcets that do not como up to this test
tiro probably not taken at all by the
factory, or aro bought at a reduced
nrlce.

Washington, Oct 28. R. E. lrc
ton, director of tho mint, iu discussing
his report on tho world's production
of gold und silver hi 18!) I, innkes tho
following statement: "I am satisfied
that the gold product of tho world
will not bo less tlmn $00,000,000 for
tho calendar year 180:, which will ho
un Increase of S'JO.OOO.OOo over 1804.
01 this Incronso tho United States Will
contribute not les than $7,r,00,00o.
Colorado will furnish from 3,500,000
to $1,000,000, California 82,00(1,000
nnd Arizona, New Mexico, Idaho and
Montana wilt inako handsome show
ings. In Colorado the principal in
crease will como from tho Cripple
Creek district This district altogether
avIU probably produce Sl",000,000 this
ycur. It required some timo to con
vince capitalists that this was n won
derfully rich district. Tho shipments
of rich ore uiado in tho last year have
removed all doubt about tho future- of
tho Cripple Creek country. Lcudvillo
will also show un increase this year In
thu output of gold. Sonio of the
mines iu this region aro very produc
tive. In tho Lcudvllle region thoro
tiro found goldt silver, copper, lend
and Iron. There Is a general revival
of gold mining throughout this region.
"California mines are sure to show
an increased output from this timo
forward. Tho establishment of tho
debris commission lu California has
given a great impulse to hydraulic
mining, which is exceedingly profit
able. Where thuro is placer mining,
particularly in MoutanaandIdaho,tho
p-oduct of gold will not bo so great as
it would have been had there been
heavy snows in tho mountains, Thcro
is a shortage of water In those states
which serves to handicap tho miners.
Tho returns from quartz mining thcro
nre very satisfactory. Some heavy
shipments of oro aro being made from
Helena, bvcrywiicro l went in tho
mining regions of tho West I saw evi
dences of great activity and prosperity.
"Not alone in the I'nlted States is
tlio output of gold increasing. South
Africa has gone ahead of Australia in
tho amount of its gold product, und
will produce this year a vast quantity
of tho precious metal. Australia prob
ably will contribute S2.o00.000 or
83,000,000 of tho increase. Kussia will
produce from 3,000,000 to $3,000,000,
more tlmn it did last year. Russia's
output last year fell off, but tho in
crease in Siberia this year will be
marked, judging from the information
I have received from our minister at
St. Petersburg. Mexico, which con
tributed $4,r00,nIO In gold last year,
will muko u fur better showing this
year. We gained last year for the
gold stock or the world about gi.OOO,
000 of the gold formerly hoarded in
India, and wo have every reason to
look for an increase tills year and for
a number of years to come."

George E, Stanley of Curroll county,
who was here yesterday, said that al
most prohibitory rules had been

seo tho boys, some of whom nre inter

cuss tho crime with them and many
simply from morbid curiosity. Dur
ing a recent religious gathering in
Cnrrollton, Mr. Stanley says he thinks
about 100 preachers asked permission
to see tho Taylors. Of course thoy had
to bo refused, for to let ouo in would
huvo necessitated the admission of all.

States Senator Charles II. Van Wyckof
Nebraska died at 4:30 o'clock yesterday
afternoon in his apartments at tho
Portland fiats.
Ho was stricken with apoplexy Mon
day afternoon nnd his condition since
has been very critical. Ho showed
slight improvement Wednesday morn
ing, but at night grew steadily worso
and since then his death had beett mo
mentarily expected. At his bedside
when tho end cnmo were Mrs. Van
Wyck, n daughter, Miss Happy, and his
wife's brother, Mr. Mark Hrodhcad.
Tho attack to which tho ex-senator
from Nebraska succumbed was a very
sudden one. Ho was in apparently
good health up to Monday noon. Ho
was staying with his family at the Ho
tel Portland. During the forenoon ho
Had been down town with his nrother-In-law,
General Rrodhcad, and was ap
parently in tho very best of health and
Spirits. On his return to tho hotel,
shortly after 13 o'clock, ho chatted with
his wife, and showed no signs of illness,
but five minutes nfter he had entered
tho dining room ho succumbed. It so
happened that u doctor was in tho ho
tel at tho timo and ho was promptly
tuminoncd. After a brief examination
he declared that Mr. Van Wyck had
been stricken with paralysis, and ad
vised that the family physician, Dr. W.
W Johnson, bo called. Later in tho
dny tho doctors made a careful exam
ination of tho patient, and found that
the senators left side was affected. He
hardly regained consciousness from
that time until death ensued.
Tho remains, accompanied by the
members of tho family here, will be
taken to morrow to Milford, Pa., where
they will be interred in the family
burvinrr irrounds Saturday afternoon.
Ftineral services will be held in the

LAST YKAltS OK HIS I.IFK.
In 1800 General Van AVyck was nom
inated for congress by Aie populists of
the First district, bntniecllned to ac
cept, although at that time he had be
como an active member of the people's
party. He, however, took an active
part in the campaign, and was on the
stump nlmost constantly from that
time until the close of the campaign of
1803. In thnt year he was a candidate
for goveraor on tho populist ticket, and
with Hon. Lorenzo Crounso mado a
joint canvass of the state, one of tho
most memorable politic struggles of
Nebraska's history. In the winter of
1803 ho was stricken witli paralysis
while on his way from his farm to Ne
braska City. For many days his life
was despaired of, but ho recovered, and
last summer showed Httlo effect of tho
stroke, savo in his pait On Memorial
day he delivered his last public ad
dress. Since ho recovered sufficiently
to be about ho resided almost contin
uously In Washington, although ho vis
ited Nebraska several times. His in
terest In public affairs, however, never
fagged, and ho kept a constant watch
on tho progress of the people, both
state and national.
In his private hfo Charles If. Van
Wyck was a most admirable character,
simple, kindly and unaffected. Nothing
could bo more perfect than his home
relations. His family consisted of him
self, u wife and ono daughter. Vol
umes could bo written of his intercourse
with his neighbors; of barrels and has
kots of provisions sent to aid the needy;
of acts of kindness and deeds of mercy
that marked his dally walk among men.

to stuplcl, peoplo, has Its foundation iu
n fact ot nature. It often happens that
the brain shrinks, and as It does, so
the skull sometimes thickens.
People sniff the air to locate an odor,
because by distending tho nostrils a
larger quantity ot air Is drawn in, tho
nerves arc better exposed, and tho odor
more clearly perceived.
