weeks, For several days after tho national
convention In Kansas City tho city will bo
nllvo with democrats anil many of them will
put In nn appearance before It meets. A
celebration Independent of tho nftcr-con-ventlon
affair hart been planned by local
democrats for either July 10 or 11, Just
provlous to tho state nominating conven
tions. If the Kansas City convention re
mains In session for three or four days tho
two affairs will bo combined and the at
tendance will bo swelled by tho dolcgatcs
to the democratic, populist and frco silver
republican stato conventions.
W. J. Ilryan has announced positively
that ho will remain in Lincoln until after
the Kansas City convention adjourns and
his friends and political associates aro au
thority for the statement that ho will spend
most of the tlmo after tho convention In
this city. It Is bclloved that he will mnke
two or thrco trips ovcry month to tho large
cities of tho eaBt and west to deliver care
fully prepared speeches, but It Is doubtful
If ho will do any railroad platform speak
ing, nt least not until the mouth before tho
election.

his rlvo-acrc farm, a tow callers and his

anco to tho sliver platform and its proba
ble candidate. Deputy Attorney General
Oldham held another conference with Ilryan
this afternoon and his nominating Bpeech
was discussed at length, This speech Is al
most finished nnd will probably bo ready
for advance distribution to newspapers
within a few days.
Congressmen Sutherland and Nevlllo were

RAISING BEETS AT AMES
Iniltinlry Which FuriilKliea F.niploy
inent to l.nrKi Number ot
C rliritnUit I'i'iiple,
AMES, Neb., Juno 26. (Special.) A visit
to tho bcot sugar fields In the vicinity of
Ames' new beet sugar factory Ib a revelation
and must bo distressing to tho calamity
howler to see tho army of men, women and
boys at work In tho beet Ileitis. Tho beet
sugar company has l.fiOO acres of, beets
under contract this year and 2,1160 acres of
that amount aro being grown on tho Stand
ard Cattlo company's land adjolulng tho fac
tory. On thU aro employed at present over
S00 people. Tho crop Is loaltlng exception
ally line and much of It Ir out of danger;
that la. It has been planted, weeded, hur
rnwed and cultivated and will require very
little more work until harvest or digging
time comes. This In the early planting, of
course; that planted later Is Just being
weedod and cultivated now. Tho broad
leaves of tho early planting now almost
rover tho ground, nnd not n weed Is to bo
Been cither In or between tho rows, which
aro elghteon Inches apart.
R. M. Allen, who is manager of the Stnnd
'nrd Cattle company and vice president of the
P.cet Sugar company, has control of tho bcot
flolda, and It Is largely due to his untiring
efforts that sufficient beets will be grown
this season to supply the factory. Tha cost
of cultivation and marketing la so much
greater than Is n crop of corn or smnll grain
that few people will undertake It on a largo
scale, although tho profits aro large, even on
the Immense outlay necessary if the
methods of beot culture aro thoroughly
understood.
To Illustrate what can bo done. Mr. Hugh
Sclllcy. who has for years been with the
Standard Cattle company nnd who is now a
superintendent of tho sugar company, told
of his experience this year. Ho organized a
stock company aiuqng tho employes of the
factory and they rented eighty acres of land,
hired a foreman, prepared their land and
planted It all to beets In good season. Thcso
have been carefully thinned, weeded nnd
cultivated and an excellent stand Is tho re
sult. Tho cultivation Is now practically
completed, as tho beets now cover tho
ground. This has been dono nt a total cost
of U1.S0 Per acre. Mr. Sclllcy estimates
that the cxpenso of toprlr.g, dig In? and
marketing will not exceed $11.50 por acre
more, or a total of J23 per arre Thojc biwts
Mr. Scllloy conservatively cstluia'ed would
yield fifteen tons per aero (actually they w.ll
yield more than twenty tons per acre),
which, at J I per ton, the prlco paid at tho
factory for average grado boots, wWI net
tho company $G0 per acre, after deducting
the cost, $23 per acre, and as Mr. Scllloy
remarked, "deducting $7 mora per acre for
extra expense, wo will mako nn even fSO
per aero, or ICO rer cent on our Invest
ment." Tho Standard Cattle company has erectsd
over 150 cottages for tho uso of their ten
ants, which they rent them at tho nsmln 1
sum pf $2 per rtonih. Tho Sugar company
has also fifty cottages, whLh they rfnt t
Utelr employes at $5 per month. Thrco
jrarr. tt",o less than forty men were em
ployed on these same acrci thit now sup
port a population of more than CCO pto, le.
The help In tho field for hoeing, weeding
and cultivating Is paid $1.25 per day for
men, il for women nnd from 50 to 75 cents
per dty for boys, according to size and
ability.
A force of twenty machinists Is employed
overhauling the machinery, putting every
thing In order for the coming campaign, far
when work once commences two shlfu cf
men keep tho factory running night and
day for dree n.onths or more, according
to the amount of beets obtainable. The
growing season has been very favorable for
tho past month, bul early In the seaion
planting was much delayed on part of tap
land owing to wet weather. This v 1.1 be
overcome In a measure In tho future by
a big drain ditch r.orthwett of the factory
that la being built now and Is almcst com

so bad with my back that I could hardly
stoop. After stooping I could scarcely
straighten and trouble with tho kidney se
cretions existed. I tried every kind of rem
edy guaranteed to bo a sure euro for kidney
complaint and although I never was com
pelled to stop working I havo scores of
times felt Inclined that way. Two boxes of
Doan's Kidney Pills procured at Kuhn &

DR, BENNETT'S ELECTRIC BELT
Is unlike all others In Its construction and
gives the patient moro than three times
the curtent of tho old stylo belts without
subjecting him or her to that frightful burn
ing and blistering caused by other electric
belts. All other belts have bare metal
electrodes (If they give any current at all),
and other lihyslclan ns well ns myself
claim and can prove that verdigris will
accumulate o metal electrodes and may
cuuse blood poisoning and perhaps death.
My belt has soft, silken, cnamols-covcrcd
sponge electrodes that cannot burn and
blister and which allow the entire current
to penetrate the system, as It should.
Some electric belt companies cover the
buro metal electrodes with a thin veneer
lug of chamois or felt, nnd this must bo
saturated with water before a current can
pass through. As the heat nf tho body
dries out the chumols or felt In five or ton
minutes, you havn to tako off your belt
just that often and wet the electrodes. This
would surely bo a nuisance alone, but In u
short time tho veneering hardens and sat
uration becomes Impossible. My elec
trodes are my patent and aro used on no
other licit. If mlno Is not the best a
wonder why do they all try to Imitate meV
Ask yourself that iiuestion. Who ever
heard of n covered electrode until Dr. Den
nett's great Invention aroused the medical
world? No one. Get the best tho gen

A POPULAR MISTAKH
HcRnnlliiK ItPiiiPillpn for l)yicitln
nml Inilluc xtlnii,
The national disease of Americans is Indi
gestion or In Its chronic form, dysprrxM i,
nnd for the cry reason that It Is so lo.ti
mou many peoplo neglect taking prefer
ttrntment for what they consider trilling
stomach trouble, when, as a matter of fict.
Indigestion lays tho foundation for ln.my
Incurable diseases. No person with a vg
otous, healthy stomach will fall a victim n
consumption. Many kidney diseases nnd
heart troubles date their beginning from
poor digestion; thin, nervous people, alo
really so because their stomachs are out of
geur; wenry, languid, faded-out women owo
their coudltlon to Imperfect digestion.
When nearly every person you met It
afflicted with weak digestion It Is not sur
prising that nearly ovety sccict ratent med
icine on the market claims to bo a euro for
dyspepsia, as well ns it score of oth'r
ttcublcs, when, In fact, as Dr. Worthic
ays, there Is but ono genuine djspcpsi.i
euro which Is perfectly safo and reliable,
and, moreover, this remedy Is not a patent
medicine, but It Is a scientific comblnat on
of pure pepsin (free from animal matter),
vegetable essences, fruit salts cud bismuth.
It U sold by druggists under the name of
Stuart's D)spcpsla Tablets. No extrava
gant claims aro made for them, but for In
digestion or any stomach trouble Stuar . s
Dyspepsia Tablets aro far ahoid of any tent
edy yet discovered. They act on tho food
eaten, no dieting la nccrsiary, simply eat
all the wholesome food you want and heso
tablets will digest It A euro resulu. be
cause all tho stomach neei's Is a rest, which
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets give by don;
tho work of digestion.
