Not a Dead Beat.

1t is..weil known to many Of the read
ers of the HERALD that Mr.. R. Nadeau
dried large amount Of sugar beeta
three years ago for the purpose of max
ing them into sugsr, but failed to suc.
ceed in sugar making, and most persons
thought that Mr.. Nadsau had made a
loss Of his labor. but instead of that, il
turns out that the dried beets have been
preserved, and are now eagerly sought
after to feed dairy cows, at SIS per ton.
They are used by Mr.. Nadeau and
Messrs. Hammel 4 Denker. who only
regret that there are not more of them,
as they have proved to be the finest food
which can be produced. 60 what ap.
peared to be IA m'sfortune, is turning out
to be blessing. Here is hint for our
farmers to send to New York for
genuine sugar beet seed and plant it on
land that cannot be irrigated and raise
sugar bee.s. They are valuable when
green to feed to cattle, and still more
valuable to use when dry. We want
more Of them, and plenty of them.

Lumpaoi vasaoundus.

The benefit rendered to Mr.. Otto
Maehl on Sunday night was decided
success from every standpoint, Turn
verein Hall was crowded, and the pieoe
presented, 'Lumpaci vagabundus. was
received with roars Of laughter from be-
ginning to end. "Lumpaci vagabun-
dus" is a German extravaganza, in
which the mishaps and ludicrous blum
ders Of three "tramps" are the subject
of no end Of fun. These characters
were well represented by Messrs.
Maehl. schmsisser and Glass. The
other male characters Of the piece,
of which there are o large number,
were well personatsd by members
Of the dramatic section of the Turn
Verein Germania. The female charac-
tsrs were acceptably rendered by Mrs.
stuhr, Miss Lille Maehl. miss -
and Fortuna by Minnie Stuhr. Dur.
ing the piece several trios were most ac-
ceptabIy sung by Mrs. strehr. Miss
Maehl and Herr Schmeisser. The play
throughout was well rendered and was
hugely enjoyed by all. With the
amount Of dramatic talent possessed by
our German fellow citizens. we do not
see why they should not have these en-
joyable entertainments often.

amount of clothing in the building,
nearly all Of which was destroyed. The
Cinnamon seemed to be paralyzed and
failed to carry out the clothes that lay
in the front of the building, much of
which was very valuable. There was a
arge amount of clothing from the hotels
and the Kimball mansion injured, or de-
stroyed, besides large quantity belong
ing to private individuals. The flames
communicated to the wooden verandah
on the south side Of Smiths Hotel and
to the windows on that side. all of which
were destroyed. The damage to the

probably be one thousand dollars. while

Board Of Trustees. made financial
statement. and called for Sl400 toImeei
present indebtedness. Rev. Mr.. Bresee
took charge of the collections, and han
died the matter in mastery and suo-
cessful way. In the short space of about
thirty minutes Sl450 was raised, and as
DR.. Widnsy presented the building to
the pastor, for the closing exercises, it
was with joyful emotions declared to be
free from debt. The pastor, Rev. N. NJ
Learned. then made the declaration Of
the purposes and uses Of the church,
and offered the dedicatory prayer. 1t
was with triumph that the Doxology
was sung, for truly this was remarka.
Bile success.
The total valuation of the church
property amounts to over $1,000, and it
is gem of architectural taste and
beauty. The windows Of the church

with designs and material purchased in
Philadelphia, and attracted much atten.
tion and comment. The seating capaci.
ity is from $50 to 500.

led by the Superintendent, who made
very appropriate and happy remarks.

sermon in tho evening on the rise and
progress of Msthodism, and at the con.
clusion the pastor received several per.
sons into membership. This ended q
remarkably interesting day to this
young society. which was just eight
months old on the day Of dedication.

A Bad Good Shot.


A serious accident occurred to Gus
Knight, Jr., on Wednesday afternoon
while hunting quails in San Diego
county in company with J. r. Cheat
hem. A flock Of quails few up in front
Of Cheathem, and he waited until two
that were flying in opposite directions
crossed each others path, when ho fired
and brought them both down. He was
so interested in this test Of his skill that
he overlooked the fact that Knight wa,
in front Of him behind some bushes, the
latter receiving the shot in his hands,
face, neck and right eye. Mr.. Knight
came up on the train yesterday after
noon. 1t Is probable that his eye will
get well. although it is now very much
infiamed. The other shot in his face
was merely imbedded in the skin and
was easily extracted San Bernardinc
