i l r ft I a r KSEgSsftWS TWENTY SECOND YEAR Open With Valley Beets October 7th the Standard Sugar Beet Co of Amos Nebraska opened this seasons run with a 12 hours run of beets shipped from the Republican Vnlley There were 240 tons of beets in the ini tial run and the average sugar per cent was 171 a very high and satisfactory average by the way The Standard people are now shipping daily 75 tons from McCoak 75 tons from Redwillow and 115 tons from Cul bertson So far his season the average pried paid tho raisers of sugar beets has been 150 per ton The average tare has been 5 per cent In some instances tho tare has been as small as 1 per cent The new system of weighing analy zing determining tare etc is proving very satisfactory Jt makes it possible for a farmer to know tho same day he brings his load of beets to town just what that shipment will nethim And further it enables him to correct any err ors in future in the matter of topping or whatever the failing may have been The sugar per cent of the beets being shipped is larger than expected but the tonnage is hardly up to expectations on account of the light stand resulting from the wet weather in planting time However the fine quality of tho beets is in a measure making up for tho tonnage shortage Altogether the season promises to bo a very satisfactory one The Martin Phelps Commission Co It is a pleasure to note the fact that local merchants anddealers in other towns in this part of tho state are appre ciating tho efforts of the Martin Phelps Commission Co of our city to meet their wants in the line of fruits vegetables nuts etc in fact in everything usually found a wholesale and commission business Last week tho company received three carloads of- superior apples They are handling about a carload every week nnw n3 thn SRnRnn frr tho nnnlo frnrln is - V well under way and they are of coursel enr an eln making that a specialty However they deal in everything in their line in season and The Tribune hopes they will receive merited trade and that the business may assume larger and larger proportions as the company expects to bs a permanent institution in our city Car of Apples Coming1 I will have

preparations for supper She found that her supply of gasoline was out so she went to her next door neigh bor Mrs Horton and borrowed a pitcher full of gasoline Upon returning the pitcher of gasoline was placed upon a table while Mrs Hanlein prepared the tank for filling On tho table with the pitcher several feet distant from it was a lighted lamp The oil sat there long enough to distill its fumes about tho room and when Mrs Hanlein began fill ing the tank of the stove the fumes ignited by the lamp and the room in an instant was filled with flames This ex ploded the pitcher full of gasoline and by the explosion Mrs Hanleins clothes were set on fire No one else was in the room at the time of the accident Mrs Hanleins daughter was at tho home of Mrs Horton next door Tho only per son in tho house at the time was a roomer Mr Crawford who was in bed asleep Mr Crawford is laid up with a sore foot He was awakened by the wo mans cries and tried to get an answer as to what was the matter but failing in this he started for the stairway By this time Mrs Hanlein had started up stairs all of her clothing on fire Craw ford lost no time in wrapping some blankets about Mrs Hanlein and finally succeeded in smothering the flames By that time the clothes were almost en tirely burned off Mrs Horton hearing the commotion came to the Hanlein home and when she entered the door the kitchen was on fire Before sho went up stairs she put out tho fire in the kitchen and then went to Mrs Hanleins assistance A physician was summoned as soon as possible and Mr Hanlein who is night yardmaster of the
