Beet Sugar Caltare.
Grand Island Independent: The cul
ture of beets rich in saccharine proper
ties is no longer an -experiment in Hall
county. For two seasons Hall county
has grown sugar beets in her soil, and
knows from actual tests what can be
done, both as to amount of yield and
percentage of saccharine matter.
The $1,000,000 to be invested here
within the next few months by men who
have had years of experience in the man
ufacture of beet sugar, is not invested as
an experiment The sort of business
men who head this enterprise do not
belong to the class that would plant
their money as an experiment. They
know that Hall county has already fur
niched a demonstrated success in the
production of sugar beets that will pay
to manufacture into sugar.
In some cases enthusiasm is sufficient
to justify the expenditure of large sums
of money in experimental enterprises,
but the erection of acres of brick, iron
and stone buildings, which now go up
rapidly in this city, shows that faith in
this case is not founded upon enthusi
asm. While others were talking, Grand
Island was quietly working, so as to
know positively in regard to both quality
and quantity of beets we could raiso.
The tests of the beets by analysis made
in Lincoln, Washington and in the old
country and by experts right here upon
the ground where the beets are grown
give positive proof of 'sugar properties
that it will pay to work. So Grand
Island and tho men putting up this mam
moth manufacturing enterprise know ex
actly what they are doing. Other com
munities are starting in now where
Grand Island began three years ago, but
Grand Island was wise enough to make
no extra noise about her plans until her
object was accomplished.
At the last session of the legislature
she secured the passage of the sugar
bounty bill, and in the meantime put
herself in position to enjoy the benefits
thereof. What appears quick work now
on the part of Grand Island is not so
rapid as it appears, the real energetic
work having consumed three years of
careful, persistent labor and entailed the
expenditure of from $10,000 to $12,000
during that experimental period, which
is happily now passed.
Beet Sagar.
Nebraska's destiny as one of the
great central states of the Union is al
ready fixed. Nature seems to have fitted
her for becoming one of the most pro
ductive, also, perhaps the very best of
all the states. For many products she
has already demonstrated her great su
periority, and for another which promis
es to become one of the wealth-producing
things of earth, she has so shown
her peculiar fitness that Senator Man
derson, seeing the importance of the in
dustry, introduced the following resolu
tion in the U. S. senate:
Wheueas it has been officially sug
gested and publicly stated that, because
of adaptability of soil and climate, the
United States may become a great sugar
producing nation by the cultivation of
beets and the extraction of sugar there
from, and this country sends abroad an
nually from seventy-five to 100 millions
of dollars for sugar for home consump
tion, our import of beet sugar alone last
year having been 243,000,000 pounds, and
Wheeeas Germany, France and other
nations, once large purchasers of sugar,
have become exporters thereof, the al
leged result of the adoption and main
tenance of a legislative policy: There
fore, Resolved, That the subject of the
production of sugar from beets abroad
and in the United States, and what
legislation, if any, is necessary or de
sirable to promote and accelerate that
industry in this country, be referred to
the Committee on Agriculture and
Forestry, with power to report by bill
or otherwise.
Let Nebraska owners of fertile,
lacustrine soil keep their eyes open to
this great industry, and take advantage
of the situation. Break up all your raw
land, you can do it little by little each
year, getting more than your expense by
a crop of flax on the sod, and hold
yourself in readiness for the coming in
dnstry. If it proves to be, what it now
promises, land that now brings a cash
rental of $2 to $20 an acre, will be
worth so very much more, that our
modesty withholds the figure.
Senator Manderson is entitled to the
thanks of every farmer and land owner
for the active interest he is taking in
this matter.
THE JURORS.
The Stabbora Jaror and Hew a Verdict was
Beached.
State's Attorney Longenecker, after a
conference with one of the Cronin jurors,
whose name he withheld, told how the
verdict was reached. As was surmised,
Juror John Culver, who spent much of
his spare time during the long evenings
in reading the bible, was an influential
factor. The first incident in this con
nection occurred while the trial was in
progress the time when Mrs. Conklin
testified. That evening Culver notified
his fellow jmrors tbat he solemnly be-

lieved she had committed perjury.
Later, Mrs. Hoertel, he thought, was n
liar, and that Martinson, the express
man, did not really know Burke, while
the Carlson's were plainly telling false
hoods. To illustrate as to Expressman
Martin, Mr. Culver told of the mistake
made by the wife of his partner, who one
day saw a man riding in a buggy, who
one day saw a man riding in a buggy,
who she was sure was Culver, when in
point of fact she was entirely mistaken.
Culver seemed to see in nearly every
witness for the state a vindictive or pur
chased perjury. He plainly hinted that
it looked like conspiracy on the state's
part. The matter of having witnesses
under charge of detectives was one of
the things, he thought, looked bad. He
wasn't sure Dr. Cronin was ever in the
Carlson cottage, and when asked: "How
do yon account for the bloody trunk?"
said, "Why, for all we know, a dog may
have been taken in it" The cause of
Cronin's death had not been proved and
he contended he was impressed with the
idea that Daniel Coughlin had a "good"
face.
When the time for balloting arrived,
Culver voted for the acquittal of allde
fendants. He steadfastly declared that
Beggs, particularly, he would not send
to jail, even for one day. The result was
a long struggle and repeated ballots,
ending in the compromise verdict an
nounced. Farmer Pierson had voted
steadily for the execution of all five de
fendants, and was the last man to yield.
It was he who was holding out toward
the end, and not until an hour or so
before the verdict reached the public,
did he give in. The leading thought of
the majority of the jurors, other than
Culver and Pierson, seemed to be to
prevent a disagreement They appar
ently believed that a mis trial was what
had been aimed at by the defense. Ex.
The Omaha sanitary officer complains
that some physicians there are not re
porting cases of contagious 'diseases un
der their care, as it is their duty to do
under the law. He says: "If the state
ment of the physician that a majority of
the sawbones had decided to ignore the
law is correct" said Mr. Petty, "I will
commence at once to ferret out all the
cases I can find and have each and every
physician who wilfully disregards the
law arrested. I am paid to look after
the sanitary condition of the city and I
propose to do so. If the physicians re
fuse to act straight in this matter I will
endeavor to correct them in their mis
taken idea that they can violate the law
with impunity. Of course the spread of
the disease means more business for
them and I suppose that is the potent
reason for their disregardal of the law,
but it should be the duty ot every
physician to aid in keeping down these
malignant diseases. I have placards on
hand which I will tack on every house
that has any infectious disease within it.
But I cannot do this unless the doctors
do their duty and report all these cases
to the secretary of the board of health.
Just watch for a few arrests and then I
think this idea of ignoring the law will
be dispelled.
The Extradition Treaty.
President Harrison has transmitted to
the senate the extradition treaty with
England, referred to in his message, ne
gotiated by Secretary Blaine and Sir
Julian Pauncefort, the British minister.
By its terms the number of extraditable
offences is largely increased, the most
important addition being that of embez
zlement, so if the treaty be ratified Can
ada and the United States will cease to
exchange a class of undesirable residents
who have hitherto secured immunity
from punishment The Samoan treaty,
negotiated at Berlin last spring, has not
been transmitted to the senate.
As interesting statement is published
fron Clans Spreckles, the Pacific coast
sugar king. Spreckles' statement shows
that from 2,121 acres of land planted to
sugar beets in California, 14,000 tons
were produced. This yielded 1,640 tons
of sugar, which cost $159,317 and yield
ed a net profit of 2469. Mr. Hawkins
is sanguine on the subject of beet sugar
and professed to believe that the United
States will eventually produce all that is
wanted for home consumption and that
the great basis of supply will be the
state of Nebraska, where the soil is so
well adapted to the cultivation of this
important vegetable. Fremont Heaald.
Nebraska in Contrast.
Senator Manderson broke ground in
the matter of the world's fair by present
ing a petition from the state board of
agriculture of Nebraska in favorof hold
ing the great exposition in Chicago.
The petition is the expression of an ex
ecutive body of a great western state,
and it surely represents the desire of the
people of that state, and hardly less
surely does it represent the desire of the
farming community throughout the
northwest We are indebted to the state
of Nebraska for the first presentation of
Chicago s claims before congress. Inter-Ocean.
The Relay Hoase.
The famous Belay House, Maryland,
takes its name from changing the relays
of hones used on the first passenger
railway ever constructed in America
from Baltimore to Frederick steam not
having been introduced in 1827. The
Union Pacific with its great system is
the outgrowth of these early attempts,
possessing the most perfect equipment
in the country. The splendid dining
service through from Omaha to Denver
and Portland is absolutely unsurpassed.
ARBER & Ca
LEADERS IN
Washington Letter.
From oar regular correspondent.
Mr. Reed has been called a lazy man,
and perhaps he is, but if so it's a pity
that a lazy man hasn't been elected
speaker of the house before this, for in
the matter of appointing the committees
he is ahead of all his recent predecessors.
The recess will not be spent in idle
ness. The important committees will be
in session almost every day getting busi
ness in shape. Mr. McKinley, chairman
of the new ways and means committee,
proposes to go to work at once upon the
tariff bill that is to be passed at this ses
sion. It is probable that what was
known as the senate tariff bill at the
last session of congress will be used as a
basis for the new bill. Trusts, too, are
to be looked after by the same commit
tee. The olection committee will take
up the contested election cases and pnsh
them through as rapidly as may be con
sistent with justice to all parties con
cerned. The more that 4s known about the de
falcation in the office of the sergeantTat
arms of the house the worse things look
for all concerned. A committee of the
house made a hurried investigation of
the business methods of that office, and
in its report to the house said enough
about its looseness to justify almost any
kind of rumors. Sergeant-at-Arms Lee
dom's personal account was discovered
to be $850 short, and the books show
that he has used the government fimds
right along to discount notes for mem
bers of the house, and put the profits in
his own pockets. Tho amount stolen by
Silcott, the absconding cashier, is within
a fraction of $72,000, and who is to loose
it is still a debatable question. Either
the government or the members for
whose pay the money was intended, will
have to be responsible, as it seems to be
generally conceded that owing to the pe
culiar circumstances surrounding the
case nothing can be made out of the
$50,000 bond of Leedom. What makes
the thing look worse for all concerned,
is that no serious effort has been made
to trace Silcott and try to bring him
back. The fact that Leedom and Sil
cott have been the boon companions of a
lot of fast congressmen makes many peo
ple believe that Leedom and quite a
number of members and ex-members of
the house would be very sorry indeed to
see Silcott under arrest, for fear that
their turn might come next
The investigation of the books of the
office of the sergeant-at-arms showed
Speaker Reed's account to be over
drawn $1,934. This created a big sensa
tion when it first leaked out, but was
quickly squelched, when Mr. Reed's at
tention was called to it, by the following
statement from that gentleman: "I have
not over drawn my account, in fact have
never drawn a cent until it was due.
After I was elected speaker there was
due me $1,934. I handed in my certi
ficate that the money might be got for
me from the treasury in the form of a
draft on New York. I got the draft in
due time, and I cannot understand how
the draft could be issued by the treas
ury without the deposit of my certifi
cate in the regular way. That's the
whole transaction and I don't see how it-
can be called an over draft It was cer
tainly not due to any action of mine."
Mr. Reed's experience shows the careless
manner of doing business which was
prevalent
The death of Mrs. Harrison's sister,
Mrs. Scott-Lord, has cast a social gloom
over the White House that will remain
during the entire season. It will, of
course, not prevent the usual official en
tertainments. Oh motion of Representative Butter
worth, the house, without a division
passed a resolution authorizing the
the speaker to appoint a committee, of
five to investigate the Ohio ballot box
forgery. Mr. Butterworth made a few
manly remarks in asking the house to
vote for his resolution, and every honor
able man must wish that the congres
sional committee may succeed in inn
ing down the rascal that committed the
forgeries. Trifling with the good name
of a man is a very grave crime, and pun
ishment should follow close upon de
tection.
The pension office is just now receiv
ing an average of 700 letters a day from
congressmen, and as their requests take
precedence over all others, it has had the
effect of delaying the other correspond
ence of the office very much, but it is
only temporary. The congressmen will
soon obtain the information they desire
and then the other fellows will have a
show.
A red hot fight is being made against
the confirmations of Mr. Morgan, Indian
commissioner, and Mr. Dorchester, su
