WHISKY FROM SUGAR BEETS Entirely Successful nnd Satisfactory Experi ment nt Columbian Distillery , OF MUCH SIGNIFICANCE TO NEBRASKA Dtlllrnllon of What linn Heretofore Horn IVimtnnt tlio Factory Will I > ml to Jlnllcllni ; n 1'lnnt In ( linahn The J'rnccnu. An experiment , the result of which Is of mctcrlal Importance to the Industrial inter ests of the city , was successfully completed at the Columbia distillery nt East Omaha yesterday afternoon. This was the production of pure spirits from the sugar beet molasses , which has until now been unproHtably wasted by the sugar manufacturers. The experi ment was In every way successful , nnd from now on a carload a day of the molasses will bo used at the distillery and converted Into spirits. The success of thep distillation is more Im portant from : the fact that It will afford addi tional profit to the sugar manufacturers , and glvo new Impetus to the great Industry of Nebraska. Ono result of the experiment may be that a large beet sugar factory will be located at East Omaha. Local capitalists have been , considering the project for some time , and now that a ready sale of the mo lasses as well as the sugar is assured , It Is slated on competent authority that the pro jectors of the enterprise will have their es tablishment In the field by another season. IS A KUENCH METHOD. The process by which the molasses may be used for distilling purposes Is well known in France , where It has been In successful operation slnco the- time of Napoleon I. It Is only recently that the attention of the boot sugar manufacturers In this country has been attracted to ( his additional demand for their product , nnd the 3,600 gallons of spirits that passed through the still of the Columbia company yesterday afternoon was the flrst that has ever been manufactured from the beet sugar refuse on this conti nent. There are ono or two distilleries where the molasses of the sugar cane Is converted Into rum , but outside of a few laboratory experiments , this is the first practical test of tbo utility of the sugar beet in this coun try , The molasses used In the test was obtained from the Oxnnrd factory at Grand Island , and the Columbia is now using a carload a day of the product. The molasses In Its raw state IB of a deep red color , somewhat similar to the pure julco of the grape , and Is of the consistency of ordinary sj-rup. When applied to the tongue a sweet taste Is first noticeable , which Is Immediately fol lowed by an alkaline flavor , that renders It very undesirable for any culinary use. The secret of the French system Is the con version of the alkaline sails by a chemical process , which transforms the molasses Into n sort of glucose , which Is perfectly adapted for distillery uses. IMPOIITANCE OF THE TEST. The experiments at East Omaha are under the personal supervision of Mr. E. E. Drys- nelbout , the superintendent of the Oxnard factory , who was brought to this country from France by the Otnard company. lie lias had several years' experience as a chem ical engineer In the continental factories , and la considered ono of the best beet sugar experts In the country. Although a , native Frenchman , Mr. Brysselbout speaks Eng lish without a suspicion of a foreign accent , end Is an exceptionally pleasing conversa tionalist. In speaking of the new Industry to a Dee reporter yesterday , he said that the success of the experiment would operate to give a decided boom to the beet sugar Industry. The 'distillers were willing to pay a good price for the molasses , which had heretofore G been an absolute waste , because a much letter grade of spirits could be made from It than from either corn or rye. It was from this refuse of the sugar factories thai All the hlfiti grade French spirits were- pro duced , and the new process was a boon to tha distillers an well as the sugar manu facturers. Tha test yesterday afternoon was most satisfactory and assures the success of the new venture. The Initiatory steps In the manufacture of the beet sugar spirits were taken several r daj'B ago , when the flrst car of the molasses was switched on the house track and the "Contents drawn oft Into the Immense vat In which tha alkali which has been gathered from the sol ) In which the- beets have groun . Is neutralized. To the raw molasses Is added about 10 per cent of malt and yeast and a nuantlty of the chemical preparation which \s \ depended on to convert the salts. H is left In the vat for a short time until the alkali Is transformed , when the process of fermentation begins , and it is then pumped Into ono of the largo fermenting vats , where It lies for not more than sevonty-two hours , until the process of fermentation is com plete. BOMB ATTENDANT DANGERS. During the fermentation a quantity of car bonic acid gas Is generated , so that the greatest care Is necessary In working over the vats , The fact that the gas Is heavier than the air keeps It from rising very far ubovo the fermenting mass , but by leaning over the vat the presence of the gas Is de tected by the sharp pain In the head and nostrils that accompanies any attempt to breathe. A lighted lantern held over the Vat Is immediately extinguished , and when the vat Is nearly full the gas overflow ! , and follows the outside of the vat downward , and In this case the vrorklngmcn on the floor below have to exercise a good deal of Vigi ls nee to avoid coming In contact with the noxious fumes , After the fermentation Is complete the Vats are drawn off and the high spirits arc carried through the refining process , -while the slop Is run off into the sewer. The re fining process Is simply a charcoal filter , the eplrlts being carried through vats of put verlzed charcoal until all impurities are re moved and the pure , white product Is ready to go Into the cistern , from which It Is drawn off Into barrels , stumped by the government gaugcr and locked up In the bonded ware- bouse , UNCLE SAM'S MAN. The gauger Is a very Important personage around the distillery , and that his Importance Is Biilllclently recognized by the govern ment la Indicated by the fact that be Is required to glvo bonds In the sum of $20,000 for the faithful performance of bis duty , the gangers are changed every two months , nnd Mr. W. E. Magner , who was known as "Billy1 before ho got a government job. Is now watching Uncle Sam's Interests at Ihe Columbia. Consequently on Monday morning ho will have the honor of gauging the first eplrlts that have ever been manufactured In America from the sugar beet. It Is the duty of the gaugcr to pee that every rule that the government has laid down for the distillers Is strictly maintained , tevcry gallon of the product must go through his hands , und be tested and stamped before . it can bo taken from the warehouse. Ho tnust also collect the duty Imposed by the government , which Is now $1.10 on every Gallon. As the product of the Columbia Is 8,500 gallons dally , and this Is but a Binal establishment , too. It IB readily seen thai your Uncle Samuel Is not an Insignificant partner In the prolits of the distillery bus ! ness. ness.And And Samuel tees to It that no one steals march on his Interests , Everything con nected with the distillery Is under lock one key , and the B "Ecr Is the only person who Is permitted to make the acquaintance o the hey. All the vats Inwhich the manu factored product Is confined before It Is drawn off Into barrels are tightly locked , ant ev n tha faucets ore protected by a pad lock , wblch can only bo opened by the gov krtiment agent. SOME EXCLUSIVE PIUVILEGES. The fcauger must also see that none o the product Is tampered with , and under th epiletlujr regulations It Is a practical Impossl DlUty for anything except the pure and ua Cdulterafed product ( o ftave lb warehouse Th spirits are tested as thiy are dnwn from too vats , and stamped with the dat of the Inspection , tha result of the test an the name of the causer. The it amp Is taken Troffl , book which resemble * ft check boob he stamp being affixed to the barrel am ! the itud tent to the Internal Ilevenue department n Washington Then the barrels are con * lcne < l to the bonded warehouse , where they ire still In charge of the gnuger. The ware * loiisa Is lire ana burglar proof , and even the > a < llock which fastens the door Is protected iy a teal over the keyhole , so that even with a key It would be Impossible for any- no except the ganger to enter without de- cctlon. When the product Is taken from the ware * ion so another test Is made , and the tax Is ollectecl. The result of the second test Is Iso stamped upon the barrel , to that the lurchater can tell at a glance the age of ho product and the amount of the test. Vhcn the whisky Is barreled It Is usually about 100 proof , and It Increases In strength s It lies In the warehouse until It some- Imes readies 105 proof. This Is usually dt- titcil by the purchaser , but the government akes care that he receives It In an absu- utcly pure state. The bett whisky sold over he bar Is usually 100 proof , but It Is often ihi 11 era ted until It would only show S5 or 0. The tux Is paid by tne purchaser , so hat this Is ono of the cases where the con- umer eventually pays the lajc. That the now process Is of tremendous mporl.inco to the eugar manufacturers Is oh- lous. Last year the product of molasses rom the factory at Grand Island was 177,000 ; alloiis , and they nre now erawlng for the 3ast Omaha demand from. a. tank sixty feel n diameter. This vast product would be a otal wasteIf It could not be utilized by the Istlllers , nnd although the pries paid for t by the distillers Is not quoted , It amounts o a large Item In the course of the season , 'his Is so much clear gain for the man it- acturers , and when the projected factory Is located In East Omaha It will bo able to supply tha Columbia direct , and thus save the freight on one car a day from Grand Island.

( Special Telegram. ) There was an event in Judge Van .Vacenen's division of district court yester day. This was the taking out of the nnal laturallzatlon papers by Joseph Leonals. The remarkable thing about the transaction vas that Leonals took out his first papers n 1866 , making a lapse of thirty-eight years betwcn the flrst filing and the last. Leonals vas the first white man to settle on the ownslte of Sioux City. He bought a por- lon of a claim of Thcophlle Drughlcr and built a log cabin near what Is now the cor ner of Third and Water streets , This habl- atlon was undoubtedly on a spot about the present southeast corner and nearly oppo site the police station.

TO PUSH THE CANAL SCHEME Siccative Oommittce Appointed by Omalm Busiuesa Men Last Evening , AN ORGAN ZATION IN EACH PRECINCT \Uvant4igrn of Iho Vrojcct Will llo Thor- ouchly Presented to Voter * lloth In City anil Cotuily cnthricnt ni Shown bjr the Half n hundred of the business men of Omaha met In the rooms of the Commercial club last night lo organize for I'latte can.il campaign work. J. S. KIIOX was elected chairman. J. 13. Utt of the Commercial club spoke upon the subject of what the Platle river canal would lo for Omaha nnd Douglas county , showing .hat It would cheapen .power for manufac- tiring and would result in wringing In many now , Industries. Ho discussed the establish- ncnt of a beet sugar factory , paying that \ltli the building of the canal ono would come. Di-cta would bo raised upon tlio fand along the line of the canal , shipped In boats o the factory , where they could be sold for much more than In the central portion of the state , xUiero It cost so much money to fur nish power. With this factory and the canal 10 predicted that all of the land In this county would bo worth from $500 to $1,000 per acre. This could be made one of the richest sections in the world , and In tlmo ho county would become like a garden. D. C. Patterson said that while there was niI organized opposition ngalnst canal bonds , here were many people who would not vote either way upon the proposition , This he shonod to bo true by producing figures Indi cating that ono-Iirth of the voters failed to ; ast their ballots upon even Improvement minis. Ilia Idea was to have n central com- nlttee of two men In each ward to explain ho canal features at the polls. D. J. O'Donohoo thought that there was op- losltlon to the canal , and many misleading md unture stories were being circulated. He iad heard promlnctlt men say that the plan vas to charge $41 per horse power in the city ind $18 out at the end of the canal , when It vas known that such was not the case. Every lay In the week there were just such stories tartcd , most of them originating from men \lm were against the Interests of the city .nd only waiting to gather in property at herlff'a sale. Dan Farrell thought that the power would > o taken by new Industries , and there were uindreds of them looking for cheap power , \hich would come with the canal. Organlza- ion was the essential thing and pushing hould bo the policy. One-half of the wealthy nen of the city had the habit of lagging ichlnd and they could not be depended on In n emergency. What was wanted was n thor- 'Ugh ' explanation of ihe matter , that voters night be Interested. EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE NAMED. Mr. Patterson moved that a central commlt- ee , consisting of three men from each ward , wo from South Omaha and t\yo from each : ountry precinct , be appointed to look after irganlzation. Mr. O'Donohoe' said that there should be ar executive committee , and that committee hould select the names of the men to be on he general committee. Mr. Utt said that great care should be used n the selection of the committee , In order hat only workers should be named. Mr. Patterson withdrew his motion , and hen Major Clarkson urged the appointment if an executive committee , which would be impowercd to name subcommittees and out- Ine a plan of campaign. Such u committee vould bo more effective than a large com mittee. In closing Mr. Clarkson moved that an executive committee , composed of five members , bo appointed to take general charge of the work. As an amendment Mr. Utt moved that the committee be composed of nine members. J. II , ICyner threw cold water upon the canal scheme by saying that the farmers were against It. Ho knew that 1,000 farmers ol the county had about decided to come to tfm city and demand that the county com- nissloners withdraw the proposition. Kyner 'avorcd ' the voting of the bonds , but he knew that the candidates for office would not dare to advocate the measure for fear that It would cost them votes. If a committee was : o be appointed Kyner said that It should a large one , with members from all of the wards ami country precincts. The motion as amended by Mr. Utt pre vailed , and the following gentlemen were named by the chain D. C. Patterson. J. S. Clarkson , D. J. O'Donohoe , J. D. Wcrtz , Oeorge N. Hicks , Z. Llndsey , J. E. Utt , Jeff W. Bedford and T. J. O'Neill : This executive committee was empowered to select a sub-committee of five members from each ward In Omaha , live from each ward In South Omaha and five from each country precinct. Wutcrlort 1'urmcr I'leeced. Henry Grayley , a resident of Waterloo , complained to the police yesterday forenoon that he hod been robbed , of $20 by n prosti tute In her room , and he wanted the woman arrested and his money recovered. Grayley Is an old veteran and fought with the union army at the battle of Antlefam. He is also a novice In Iho ways of the world. Friday he come to town to draw his pension money. After a visit to the bank a $20 shiner and an eagle reposed In his old worn pocketbook. While in a store buying a pair of shoes he met a woman , who was also looking at shoes. Soon they became engaged In conversation and the result was that the woman took the old man to a room and his money was miss ing when he left. At noon yesterday the police detectives ar rested Mr. and Mrs. PrankMcKlnnle at the St. Clair hotel and charged them with hav ing robbed Grayley of $20. $ The woman pleaded guilty and produced the money. Grayley wants to drop oil prosecution now that he has recovered the money , but the police will push the case , as It Is reported that Mrs. McKlnnfe la engaged In the business of fleecing grangers. \V nt Her Ilaby Hack. Habeas corpus proceedings have been in stituted In the county court , whereby Mollte Drown seeks to secure the custody ot her child , Nova , a little girl 21 months of age. In applying for the writ the mother alleges that , being in somewhat destitute circum stances , last April she left the Infant In charge of Mrs , Huth , a woman residing at Thirteenth street and Capitol avenue , the understanding : beinp that It was to remain there a short time OB a boarder. Since then fortune has been more kind to the mother and feeling that she was able to sup port her own. a few days ago she called for her babe. She avers that Mrs. Ruth re fused to glvo up the child , and even went so far as to secret It , refusing to let It be seen by the mother. In court the mother alleges that Mrs. Until la not a proper person to care for a child , as her house Is a resort for Individuals who tarry at the wine , becoming drunk and noisy. The sheriff will make a search for the baby , and seek lo produce in court next Monday morning. Mirrlnio The following marriage licenses were Is sued yesterday : Name and Address. Age. Kolph P.

THE CENTRAL- CITY , 'Neb. , Oct. 10. To the Idltor of The Ifcor Considering the great ndustrlal struggle which has been going on n Iho world , and especially In the United Slates slnco tin- Ute war , It la strange how ' Ittle interest has been taken In Iho sugar inestlon. At a tlmo when other nations ] invo been putting forth their best flnanclt.1 efforts to develop the beet sugar Industry > y offers of largo bounties and by means' of prohibitory tariffs on sugar , the United States has stood by , an Idle spectator of this great movement , watching millions of her ; old go abroad annually for sugar , a product : ho ran- material for which can bo raised n at least one-half of the states In the union , ust as well as can wheat or corn. Ono rea son for this , probably , has been that the rals- ngof beets anil cane requires a higher order of fanning and a more thorough knowledge of soils and of agriculture than for ordinary crops , but behind this , as the greater reac sou haa been the fact that very few men in this country understand the sugar Industry outsldo of Louisiana , where the raw material a cane. A few men who had studied the manufnc- .ure of sugar from beets Invested their capl- al and tried for success several years ago , n Massachusetts , Now Jersey , Delaware , : illnols and Wisconsin , but they sank their money , and , until recently , no further moveft ment worthy of mention was made in the same direction. It was n case of history rou jcatlng Itself , because hundreds of men had gona over the same road to- ruin In Europe ore success was attained. And today the beet sugar Industry in this country , because of the repudiating action of congress In toin icallng ' the encouragement promised In 1S90 'or fourteen years , stands In great peril. Nothing can save It from absolute destrucsl ttoii ! nothing can prevent the annihilation of the millions of capital put into tills beet sugar Industry on the faith of the promise and pledge contained In the- law of 1890 , ex cept the wisdom of the agricultural people and their rugged sense of honor. With a congress In power which ruth- essiy repudiates the pledge of the nation , the States Interested in this question alone nn come to the temporary re- let of the sugar Industry and tide it over until we shall again welcome to " " power an "American" congress athcr than ono constructed on the English Iree ' trade model , so destructive to the wel- 'are of agriculture , labor and manufactures , as well as of transportation. Deeply interested as Nebraska is In this sugar question , which was on the eve of a grand success , it would be a suicidal policy on her part to allow the larse amount of capital Invested In her borders In this great agricultural Industry , to sink beneath the waves that threaten to engulf It because of : ho radical action of a free trade congress. Nebraska Is somewhat singularly situated , compared with some of her sister states , and yet more fortunate In some other re spects. She hta no coal , nor Iron , nor iumber , but she Jias a soil nnd a climate which nature seams to have thought would amply repay her for these , and It would , seem , In the light of recent Intelligent Invesi tlgation made into the character of our soil and climate , as If Providence had In store for her a richer harvest from the soil than could be obtained'from the minerals , because 10 product In general use has a more ejc- : ended and certain market than sugar , and n her capacity to produce the raw material for this she is rich Indeed. To now throwaway - away her chance to develop this within her borders , simply because a few radicals have crept Into congress and struck at It , would demonstrate that thebusiness ) men and the agriculturists In 'Nebraska are not as wise In their day mid- generation as they should be. Nebraska sadly jneeds diversified farming. Because of the things that she needs not found within her borders , she must forever depend on agriculture , and on no one thing can she BO safely depend as on a beet crop , so secure as It has shown Itself to bo against storms and drought. I hope , therefore- , that In choosing men to the legislature the people will be sure this fall to make ito mistake in selecting those who are pledged to stand by the sugar industry and thereby uphold the cause of agriculture , because It means a great deal for the future of the state.
