II Our Resources We're Only Devel.
ODed2

A correspondent of the Nation calls
attention to the statement in the E,acy-
cI0pedia Britannica that if the "natural
resources of Amarica," that is the two
continents of North and South Amer
ica, "were fully developed, it would
afford sustenance to 3,6O0,000,0 900 of in
habitants, or three times the estimated
population of the globe" But as the
United States has nearly one-third of
the arabic land, the United States
alone might support apopulation equal
to that of the globe at the present day
and then would not be as crowded as
England now is: there being $50 to the
square mile in England, while in Amer
ica the population mentioned would
give but 1854 to the arabic square mile.
But at the rat, of increase since the
census was first taken in 1890, we
should attain this population before the
close of the next century. The popu-
lation within the last ninety years has
doubled every twenty-five years,
which, il there be 100, ,O00, 900 in 1900,
would bring it to 1,20O, 900. 900 in 1887.
In all human probability, however, the
rate of increase will grow constantly
smaller, and the pressure of population
upon food be indefinitely postponed.

A m.a,cin. sno.1d mot be Gu.sea

By the suddenness and violence of its effects.
Self-evident as this proposition would seem,
there are many foolish persons who are con-
tent only with remedy which acts abruptly.
The pill and other nostrum-vendors who trade
upon the credulity of this class, find their best
holt" as poor Artemus Ward termed it, in the
sale of violent purgatives. So long as they
wrench the bowels of their dupes sufficiently,
they are pretty sure of certain measure Of
success. If instead of such pernicious rubbish, ,
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is used, the results
are widely different. The bowels are re-
lieved, but always gently, by this pleasant
laxative, which does not weaken but invig-
CRATES them, and endows the cooperative or
gans of digestion and bilious secretion with
activity and regularity, strengthens the con-
stitution and physique, and while it is safe in
its constituents, is sufficiently prompt in opera

Be Wise and Happy.

If you will stop all your extravagant
and wrong notions in doctoring yourself
and families with expensive doctors or
humbug cure-alls, that do harm always,
and use only natures simple remedies
for all your ailments-you will be wise,
we'll and happy, and save great expense.

There i. Away. Room at the Top.

Daniel Webster once said to young strug-
Cling lawyer: =" Young man, seek for eminence
in your calling-there's always room at the
top.'' This remark has passed into popular
proverb, and has received another illustration
in the wonderful success of the "95 Per Cent.
Sterling Rubber Boot" When the Candee
Co. first put these goods on the market, there
was general prediction of failure, on ac-
count of the relative high price necessarily
asked for boot of such quality. But the
utter worthlessness of all other rubber boots
had filled the community with indignation,
and the fact that the company had themselves
faith enough in the goods to give three
months warrant on them, and to stamp that
warrant on the boots, and to provide place
for permanent record of the date of sale so as
to fix the duration of the warrant, showed a
degree of confidence and good faith which
tempted buyers to give the boots trial. And
trial so fully demonstrated the great worth
and economy of the boots, that they are
gradually displacing all the cheaper goods.
Solid merit always wins.

A Nevada Stage Drivers Feat.

An old Virginia New stage driver
says that he has been more exasperated
and chagrined at his failure to run
down a hog than by being robbed by
road agents. He says he has gone with
a rush down steep grade with a FIVE
ton stage and six-in-hand after hog,
and Just at the moment when he ex-
pected to catch the flying grunter under
the forewheel, he would lurch to one
side with grunt of satisfaction at his
escape. He never succeeded in run
ming down hog except in one instance.
In that case the hog had just succeeded
in lodging train of cars coming out
of tunnel, and was TOO much startled
to escape him. He ran it down, but up
set his stage and killed two passengers,
besides manning two for life.

BEET SUGAR.
The New Building Nearly Completed
a Glance nj the Years Crop.

The Delaware Beet Sugar Company's
new factory at Riverside IL very nearly
completed, and the machinery will be all
in ready for business on or bt fore the first
OF October. Work on this years crop of
beets will begin shortly after. With the
addition of the new factory and new
machinery the company will be able to
handle about 10 tons of beets per day,
with maximum capacity OF 100 tons II
necessary.
The product of manufacture this year
will be refining sugar and the company
expects, with the improved machinery, to
turn out higher grade of sugar than has
heretofore been made. A small quantity
manufactured last year sampled about the
grade of good plain sugar.
The whole product of the beet crop this
season will be about 1000 tons. The
VT ather has been unfavorable by reason of
too little rain, and the crop is only about
two-thirds of what might have been looked
for had the weather been more propitiouE.
The company has itself grown l2O acres
of beets this year, which will average about
10 tons per acre. The bulk of the
balance of the crop has been grown in
the neighbUrhood OF Wyoming, Kent
county, though the largest private grower
is H. q. Fennimore, OF Odessa, who has
nome % or 80 acres. His father, j. b.
Fennimore, raised about . acres of beets
The unfavornbe season has disheartened
some growers, but many will try again and
more extensively next year.

ARRESTED FOR CANNING.
showing Also How Annie GoOdin
Got Herself i'm Trouble.

For some time past complaints have
been made TO the police respecting negro
house between Nancy and Liberty Streets
Hedgevlle, where gambling for small
sums was alleged to be carried on by the
coored population. Monday night Officers
Chambers and Pardee made descent upon
the place. In a shed kitchen they found
three colored men, George Sharpley,
Henry Fleming and William Rollins A
board across the room served as gaming
table, behind which one of the men sat
engaged rs dealer while one of the others
was evidently playing for stake. Upon
the board were three small piles OF pennies
and nickels and a pack of cards. The
police brought in the three negroes and
they were gwen hearing before Mayor
Almond this morning, who dismissed
Fleming and iined the Others $40 each.
During the hearing Annie Goodin, the
proprietress Of the place, came in and
vas sworn M witness for the defense.
She testified that she never allowed any
gambling in her house, if she knew it, and
that if the prisoners we're thus engaged
Last night, it could have been only game
for pastime. She did not keep Il gambling
house, and would like 10 know who had
informed against her place as q gambling
house, adding the common threat that she
"would make him prove it."
The Mayor told her that she was the
very person they wanted; she had
acknowledged her proprietorship of a
house in which gamblers had been caught
in the act of gaming and he would re-
qure her to fluid $500 bail to appear for
hearing.
