DURING the last two years the people
of Manitowoc were afforded the rare
treat of two lecture courses at a merely
nominal cost. The lectures and concerts
were of a high order and to all appear
ances gave general satisfaction. The
managers of the courses had to exert
themselves greatly to make the enter
prises a financial success and were scarce
~ able to como even with the world in
the end. An effort was thus faithfully
made to create an interest in entertain
ments of a very high order in the hope
that the people would demand their con-
tinuance; but no such demand has been
made except by few who can not afford
to embark in the enterprise alone, and
Manitowoc, unless it shakes off its leth-
argy, will have to rely on the old fash
ioned travelling troup that illumines the
walls and fences with promises that are
never fulfilled.

For the last two years DR.. Banzhof of
this city has been experimenting with a
view to discovering a local anaesthetic
Often he felt assured OF success and as
often was disappointed, though his in
vestigation satisfied him that an anaes-
thetic of the nature desired was possible.
He persisted in his efforts and finally sue
ceeded in discovering what may be con-
sidered marvellous boon to suffering
humanity, by means of which he can ex-
tract teeth and perform other surgical
operations in the mouth without inhict-
ing the slightest pain on the patient.
The anaesthetic affects only the parts to
be operated on and the patient is fully
conscious of all that is transporting while
insensible to any pain because of the
operation. The Doctors discovery bids
fair to secure him fortune while being a
blessing to those who must submit to
dental or surgical operation.

JOHN kILLEN finds Friday an unlucky
day. Three times his safe has been
cracked by burglars and each time the
work was done on Friday He has two
safes in his store one in the Office in
the rear and burglar proof safe in the
front. On Friday night last the safe 10
the Office was blown open. Fortunately
Walter Killen had transferred all the
money to the other safe, so that the burg
lars secured only a little change ard
drafts to the amount of $500, but as they
were Endorsed in full they are of no
value to the burglars. Entrance was eff
fected through the front door. The
manner OF cracking the safe proves that
the operators were experts at the bust
ness. A bull dog which guarded the
premises seemed to have no terrors for
the cracksmen.

The Production of Sugar.
From the Philadelphia Weekly PreSS.)

There is a fair prospect that before
many years this country will produce all
the sugar it consumes. California is cOp-
%tributing to that end by an extensive
cultivation of beets, and a number of mills
have recently been put up to convert them
into sugar. Kansas is doing her part by
raising sorghum for the same purpose.
There are nine places in Kansas where
sorghum will be turned into sugar this
year. The total acreage of it under cul-
t~ivation in that state is nearly 1900.
There is a sorghum Mill in successful
operation in Iowa, and experiments are
being made in the same direction in New
Jersey, Virginia, Louisiana and in other
states.
There are no obstacles in The way of the
successful growth of sorghum in this

The fact of your having on a former

trespass on it's pages by forwarding you
from "the Philadelphia Weekly Press"

entirely from us, but rather to be ''up and
dolng"-decidediy if "COming events cast
their shadows before them" then ought we
being "FOrewarned, to forearm" ourselves
against the impending evil which must
surely come on us, and Of which we have
already had some ex perience-At a glance
one must see our inability to compete
against improved machinery Ill a foreign
land, in their Owl markets OF the same
production.
The only alternative in such a case
would then be 1St to surpasS or at least
TO equal their means of manufacture
End to increase the amount Of our similar
productions at the same cost as we today
produce a lesser. and which can only be
achieved by manual labouc saving inlplt-
ments wherever feasible.
3rdly BY directing our attention to the
cultivation of such fruits as can only be
produced in our tropical climate and which
are daily becoming more in demand in that
American market which our geographic
Cal position peculiarly BELTS and enatles
us to supply-under the same head would
be included the preserving of those kind
which could not stand the sea trip.
The variety Of essences and syrups sc
&c is too numerous to be particulariZed
on this occasion.
Now supposiNg that the preceding
three considerations are correct, there
would at once arise a fourth, upon the
realization of which would depend the
possibility of the Others-That one is
THE LABOUR QUESTION
Every planter can give an idea of the
difficulty he has placed daily before him of
solving this problem, and the only means
OF relief that | can see is in the first place
the substitution Of machinery and i'm
PIGMENTS wherever practicable, and then
free migration added to every induCement
OF bringing foreign labOur here, as our
position can III justice permit us to adopt.
The day the ''Planter'' can say, that he
can do with or without any individual
abourer, will be a new era for the islands
prospects.
LIT labourers go a begging for work ;
pay them fairly for work when done, but
as long az unfortunately is the case with
u.s. work is being left undonp for want of
labour, SO long Will we never get the
proper quantity nor quality Of work from
that lab0urer.
Judging by the past, w have no reason
to think that that P%aternal Government,
which has invariably from time to time
stepped forward and been in the van to
assist us in the carrying out Of such
schemes as from time to time have arisen
and been deemed az necessary or essential
to the islands welfare, is likely to he
backward i'll coming forward again on
proper representations and convictions
being brought to bear.
For my part | can't help remarking that
the very face Of nature seems to pieai FIR

all seem too we'll adapted for cocoanuts to
be disputed, while the North side valleys
have already shown what trees (fruiD are

KILLED BY WATERMELONS.

LAWRENCE. Kan, Sept. 1L-Bert Tracy,
a colored youth aged i years, died here
Yesterday from the effect of too much
watermelon. Nothing like it has ever been
heard Of before in the annals of the col
ored race.
Tracy was n bootblack. well known on
the streets and a great lover of the succu-
lent melon. Two days ago he made a
wager with a citizen, the amount of which
II not known, to eat as many watermelOns
rs the citizen would or could produce. The
melons were promptly forthcoming and
Tracy slowed them away one by one until
nine had disappeared, then he weakened
and yesterday he died after a brief but
painful illness.
