Fremont dispatch: W. C Peterson, who has been experimenting in devis ing a process for the manufacture ol crude sugar from beets, has succeeded ill making crude spirits from tho juice. This afternoon at his residence In Saunders county in the presence of Deputy Collector of Revenue Mathews of Omaha and a number of Fremont business men ho operated his still for tho lirst time, and succeeded in obtain ing a spirit which was tested by W. II. Ilrmicr and- reached the high point ol HO. Tho lulco Is Hrst treated by a chemi cal process, upon which Peterson has a patent, which removed from it till the albuminoids and salts and is then allowed to ferment, after which it goes through tho still. Tho still used to day was a very small one, there being only forty feet of pipe In the coll. The liquor obtained with only one distilla tion was of a light milky color and was said by Mathews to bo more like rum than any other spirits. It had the gen eral smell and appearance of raw spir its and hud iio vegetable taste. Doth Mr. Mathews and Mr. Peterson are of the opinion that by running It through a larger still and by redistil lation the highest grnde of alcohol can be obtained. The beets used in today's test were of 8 per cent sugar content The purity coclliclcnt was not deter mined. Mr. Peterson says that beets of as low a grade as 1 per cent stiff nr can lie used, but ot course tlio larger tho sugar content the better the re sults obtained. Tho cost of tho spirit, ho claims, is much less than that made from other substances and ho docs not think that for the manufacture of tho raw spirits an extensive plant Is necessary. Those posted on tho manufacture of spirits are of the opinion that a high grade of alcohol can bo biade from the juice and that a large additional demand for beets will thus be made. The juice used today was extrractcd from the beets by pressure and the salts and albumoids removed yester day. ' It only fermented about twelve hours. Tomorrow Peterson will exper iment, with some syrup he has obtnineii from the Utah beet sugar factory anil from which sugar cannot be made. The experiments have been conducted with a view to obtaining alcohol, and nil present are of the opinion that they wetc a success. Mr. Peterson is still experimenting in tlio manufacture of crude sugar ami plans are being ma tured for the erection of a factory. He allowed some syrup which he had made from lieels. it in better than that which he had tit tlio state sugar convention clear in color aud with very Utile veg etable taste. It closely resembles toe best grades of sorghum. Pnrtias who have tried it for cooking purposes are much pleased with it. A MATRIMONIAL FEATURE W, C, T, 0.

Tlie proposed society will curry out n similar arrangement lieie, except I hat the girls who desire to assemble in a church to be thus chosen will have to register with the society three months ahead of the date, ihat llic society may satisfy it self that they are girls of good moral character, and the men who are to nppl at the church on those occasions to select, 1 1 rules will be required to reg sler three months prior to the dale of choosing, that the society may investigate their characters for the put pose of ascertaining if they are in dustrious ami temperate. Only men who have these qualities will be al lowed to choose a wife. Those who register will be Informed fifteen days in advance ol their standing. .Men will be requited to pay a registration foe of til. but girls will be allowed to register free. The hit ended brides will probably be required to wear white instead of Mack, as in Naples. The principal object of the society Is to all'ord girls who desire to marry an opportunity to secure temperate and industrious husbands. REPORT TO THE GENERAL.

It made a great hit. Congressman J. P. Dolll ver, temporary chairman was Intro duced. Mr. Dollircr said: "The demand ol the hour is for somebody who under stands the every day business of the government of the United States; who can read tlie account books on both sides; what we Hike in and what we pay out. We offer to the national service a statesman trained In the public business, who has left the im press of his practical wisdom on every revenue measure enacted since the Thirty-eighth Congress, and under whoso eye every item of every appro priation bill for nearly a generation has passed. A training like that, sel dom approached in American public life, would of itself bring hope and deliverance to the uneasy treasury ol me united States. "Tho need of theso times Is not so much for a leader to rally the people to tho Republican banner, ns for a master of the art of administration, conservative and strong, ablt, to hold the victory after it is won. Nothing can keep thc American people from voting against the Democratic party tills year. No man has been proposed for tho nomination whose election would not bring lienor to the chief olllce of the people, but among all tlio illustrious men who arc. presented for tlio favor, of the party, in this year of hope and victory, not one outranks in ripened preparation for its duties the unassuming leader of Republicanism in lown. His name is on the lips and in tlie hearts of all the people to day." ' The address was interrupted fre quently by applause, especially at every reference to Allison. Four thousand people were present. The convention was the most enthusiastic in the history of the state.

FORCED TAX RECEIPTS Thousand of Dollars l'llclicd I'rom the Chicago City Treasury. Chicago, March 12. Thousands of dollars have been filched from the city treasury through a clever scheme con cocted by three sharks, a clerk in the comptroller's oflice and another in the bpccial assessment bureau. The steal was accomplished by forging special assessment tax receipts. It is another grab at the special assessment fund and while it is not known just how much money has been obtained, it is possible that 820,000 or SS.I.OOo slipped out of tho people's vaults before the con spirators were detected.

Neither Comptroller monument, erected The story of the "Overland Route" has been told in prose and poem by those who have a right to claim the hest knowledge of It; those who tolled over the plains drliing oxen in span3, which pulled great caravans of freight; those who hopefully bore the heat and burden of the day, btiojed up and encournged by the hope of an 121 Darndo in the mountains of the west great, noble hearted men who sought in tho glorious west the reward which seemed never to come near their doors In tho populous Just. They wcrebrave.andklnd-hearteil, bold and gentle, and the writer loves to dwell on their adventures and depict their hair-breadth escapes, and toll of ihelr hopes and their disappointments, in one sense theirs is tho story of the lives of many who read, and a chord of sympathy Is touched by tho skillful tell ing of the story. Everyone who his read these tales of tho west has felt an instinctive desire to sec tho Fpots, hnl lowed nt least In memory by Borne story, which hns served to pass an hour away; nnd each one lias longed for an oppor tunity. Those of the present day have the best of the earlier members of this mutual admiration society, for they can now make tlie trip In comfort, free from peril, and surrounded by all tho luxuries incident to modern travel. Instead of tolling over the calcined track of thoso who preceded them, the traveler of the day simply selects "Tho Overland Route." the Union Pacific system, and, as much at homo as though in tho quiet of some New England village, glides swiftly over a splendid roadbed, and al lows his eyes to feast on the magnificent scenery afforded.

The Dale creek bridge is another magnificent specimen of human skill, and one com pares the handiwork of man with that of nature, which all around vies with it. Idaho is entered at Dorder Station, an appropriate name, and ono then thinks of the groin mineral productions of tho country through which ho Is passing and stares anew nt the creation of natu ral force, the Shoshone Falls, the great geysers which abound in the parks, the mountains ever seeming higher ad fuller of poetry and romance, anil chal hnglng comparison with anything th-t lir.s yet been t,oen. It seems to tlie trav eler that what conies after must be a icpetitton, or some reproduction of something that lias been scon on this delightful journey, and lie guesses that tho stories of iho parks of the Kroat northwest must be talcs of fancy, for if these cannot tause tlie mind to revel, indeed, must the best part of man. his Imagination, be dulled and ho an object for pity. When, therefore, the grand est scenery of North America, the won derful YellowBtono Park is reached, what a pleasure to feci that the power of appreciation has been whetted rather than dulled, and thnt tho grandeur ami beauty of the sin foundings awaken now and embellUhed ideas, and give tho heart and mind a greater degree of ap preciation. So tho who'e route is an education, and an enjoyment at tho same time, while the glow of new h"alth heighten the color and drives; away tho weariness which, perchance, was the di rect cause for tlio Journey. While tho route just described has been through Colorado, Wyoming, Idaho and tho Northwest, I ha.o not been unmindful of still another pleasant journey, which every traveler through the west should take, viz.- To and through Utah, the youngest state In tho union. While still in her maidenhood, she is by no means the least in Importance of our states. For scenery Echo, Weber, and Ogden Canons cannot bo excelled. Tho valleys of Utau are ricn in meir pro duction of fruit, vegetables and cereals, while the mountains are dally disclos ing ii mineral wealth which will yet cause the world to marvel. The climate of Washington nnd Ore gon is delightful. The western slope seems to bo a chosen spot for plenum e, health and comfort. Ono forgets the many hundreds of miles covorcd by the. ever-turning wheels and simply enjoy, a treat to be found nowhere else in the universe. It is u trip which overyo-iu , should take, varying the climate, th altitude and general environments of business und care, and It can be taken to comfortably und at such rensoiinble oxneiiM in tlie splendid cars of th Un ion Pacific System that It should b de cided upon at once m the one next to b undvitab-n.
