Various parts ofthe Northwest are
becoming interested IN the beet sugar
question, and experiments will be made
with the seed in hundreds of places.
The experiments made this year in Blue
Earth county, while showing a good per
centage of sugar, do not give fair pre-
sentation of the beet raising qualities of
our soil. None of the samples were
raised on such soil as is prescribed by
chemists. Next year the rich sandy
loom should be tried. The largest sized
beets are not the best, as the real sugar
beet is but two or three inches in diam
eter at the top and tapers down regu-
larly. 700 factories will in few years
be in operation In this country. Man
kato should be on the ground early
with plant, in order to cover the field

MORE GOOD HORSES.

Messrs. Willard & Fuller haye just
received another shipment of magnif-
cent stock horses which, added to those
previously received, affords them the
finest stable of blooded animals in this
part of the state, if not in the state.
The following extracts taken from the
Breeders Gazette, Chicago, of issue Nov.
18th, will afford very good idea of the
class of horses just received by Messrs.
Willard & Fuller and were exhibited at
the great horse show which closed in
Chicago on the 9Th inst:
''Interpide," 645, weight 1850 lbs, age
years. From the eleven aged stations under
consideration the handsome brown Interpide,
which was first at the Peoria show was selected
to wear the blue. He is very unusual horse
in all respects and altogether is about as good
specimen of the breed as is generally found. He
possesses grand back and loin, and his clean
shapely neck is finely joined to his shoulders,
and he carries his beautiful head high in air.
His limbs are clean and 'cordy" and his knee
and hook section is as sharp as could be desired.
In fact for clean action, 'Interpide is superior
to the majority of his breed.
Special Plate for Coach Stallion, any breed
The Palmer Horse company offered plate val
ued at 500, for the best coach stallion any
breed, to be shown at will. This called out the
greatest showing of coachers of the entire week,
every breed being represented Coachers,
German Coachers. Cleveland Bays and Hack
neys. Messrs. S. ID. Thompson, F. w Warren,
and Robert Miller, Brougham, Ont, constituted
the committee which determined the compare
tive merits of the contestants, and their decis-
ion sent the plate to Ellwood's French Coach
stallion "Interpide," winner of first in his class.
French Coachers- year old fillies-First to
"Kirsch," second to tCendrillonette,'
Yearlings- First to ''Lavilliere," second to
Mermaid" third to 'Pollux.''
1t will be noted that these animals are
all prize getters, and Blue Earth county
is fortunate in having such stock added
to its splendid line OF horses.

NO CHANGE IS MADE
In the Rates for Transporting Pitts.
burg Coal to the Lakes.
LAST YEARS SCHEDULE ADOPTED
At Yesterdays Meeting of the Interested
Railroad Companies.
HOOKING VALLEY FAVORED AGAIN

The railroad companies interested in the
transportation of coal to the lakes met at the
Anderson Hotel yesterday, and reaffirmed
last years schedule. That is, the rate on
Pittsburg coal will be 80 cents per ton to the
lakes, and the Hooking Valley S5 cents.
The diferential of 5 cents was allowed the
Hooking Valley road after the officials OF
the line had solemnly promised to maintain
it. Last year they offered a rebate of 25
cents and upset the markets. Vice President
Mccullough, of the Pennsylvania Company,
receded from his position to give nothing,
and when this decision was announced the
old rates were re-adopted. All the roads
we're represented except the Wheeling and
Lake Erie, but it is understood that it will
abide by the agreement.
NOT DISCUSSED AT ALL.
The question of radius was not discussed,
and some of the freight agents hoped it
would never come up again.
When w. P. De Armitt as representing
the coal men, was asked how he liked the
rates, he replied: "Well, 1 suppose ac-
cept them on the principle of the man who
thanks God for some favors, and is glad it
is no worse, but how the PENNSYLVANIA Com
pany can recede from its position to at
least insist on an even rate to
the lakes is what puzzles me. God has
made geography, but the railways make
rates. The geographical position of this
city is unique. On coal going west to Chi
cago we pay 25 cents more per ton than the
Ohio operators, because our distance is
longer; on coal to the lakes we paw cents
per ton more than the Hooking Valley peo-
pie, because our distance is shorter. The
position of the railroads is verItable para
dox, but that is how it stands.
NOT SURE ABOUT IT.
"Now, am not so sure that the Hooking
Valley road Will maintain the rates or not.
1t didn't last summer and it failed
to make anything by it. 1t up
set the market, and contracts that
Pittsburg operators had made had to be re-
duced in price, but it was Pittsburg coal
that was delivered anyhow. The Hooking
Valley people were not any richer by the
operation.
''The problem OF reducing the limit, also,
is not dead. 1 believe in a fair and equita-
BILE grouping, because believe that is one
of the necessities of the evolution of rail-
roads. The Imperial Coal Company, in its
suit before the Interstate Commerce Com
mission, made the mistake of attacking the
group in itself, and they lost. 1t is the in
equalities that should have been pointed
out"

He Is In Allegheny, but Refuses to Tell
Why He Left.
Gus L. Otterson, who disappeared from
his home last fall, returned about 1 o'clock
yesterday morning. He came direct from
San Francisco and went at once to the home
OF his father-in-law, James Brown, on Per-
ryville avenue, Allegheny. 1t will be re-
membered that he was a member of the
firm of Swindell s. Otterson, wall paper
dealers, on Federal street, Allegheny
He had started for New York on bust
ness for the firm and forgot to return.
1t was rumored that he had been done
away with and also that he was afraid to
come back because of a shortage in his
accounts. Detectives were put on his trail,
but were unable to find him. Yesterday
morning he surprised his friends by return
ing.
A number of attempts were made to see
Mr.. Otterson, but he would not allow HIM
self to be interviewed. His wife, however,
said he would probably have something to
say in a few days, but could not say any,
thing at present She said she and her hus-
band would live together and would stay at
her fathers house for few weeks. Mr..
Otterson's partner, Harry Swindell, said he
did not know why Mr.. Otterson had dis
appeared. He had not seen him since his
return.

An Italian Who Killed an Invader II Ac.
quilted of Murder.
UTICA, April 4.-Early one morning last
December James Gibson, young man re-
siding with his parents in Rome, burst
in the door OF his fathers house,
shouted to his mother that he was
shot and fell dead at her feet
She had been watching for him all night,
and, a moment before his abrupt entrance,
had heard pistol shot Michael Cibo, an
italian living near, was arrested for the
murder of ellison, and indicted for man
slaughter in the first degree. For this offense
he has been on trial at Rome all this week.
The trial developed the fact that ellison
had twice attempted to gain admittance to
Cibo's house while the latter was away and
while Mrs. Cibo was there with her little
children. On the morning of the murder
he repeated the attempt and had
raised the bedroom window from the
outside and caught the woman by the
arm as she got out of bed and was trying to
pull her out of the window. Cibo was at
home on this occasion, and after calling on
ellison to desist and receiving curses in re-
sponse, shot over his wife's shoulder with
the result stated above.
The case was given to the jury last night
and this morning a verdict of not guilty was
returned. When the verdict of the jury
was interpreted to the Italian his demonstra-
tions of JOY were so great that it was thought
he had become insane.

The Committee Fails to Agree in the seIec-
tion of n Teacher.
The High School Committee met at the
Central Board rooms last night in regular
monthly session. Superintendent Woods,
of the High School, read his report for the
month, in which he recommended that in
making up the list of text books the Greek
course be transferred from the 'C' year to
the "B' year, thus giving students two
years on that study instead of three, as it
has been. He also recommended that Shep-
ards text book Oh chemistry be substituted
for the Avery text book, which has been in
use for the past IL years, and that book of
German poems and a manual of elocution
be added to the list of High School studies.
The resignation of Miss Elizabeth Jillson,
as teacher of mechanical drawing, was &C.
cepted. In an attempt to elect her successor
13 ballots were taken. but no result reached,
and the matter was referred to the Central
Board of Education. The fight was between
Miss Emmons and Miss Bostwick They
then adopted all of Superintendent Woods
recommendations.

Good Friday to hearing the case of N. j.

George H. Christy for defendants. 1t is a
suit for damages arising from alleged in
fringement on patent for sand and gravel
separator. Plaintiffs ask for 81, 900 damages,
Defendants claim that n. j. Kellar, partner
of P. NJ. Pfeil, one of the defendants, OBJ
tanned the patent and that Pfeil, one of the
co-defendants, is entitled to its use per
agreement with Kellar The patent ex-
pred May, 1889, and suit was entered in
February of the same year and damages are
only claimed to date of expiration. 1t had
been determined in former suit that Pfeil
had right to use the patent on the boat
which be took when the partnership between
him and Kellar was dissolved. Subse-
quently in a suit in equity the infringement
was sustained, and an account ordered.
Subsequently, defendants built another boat,
on which it is claimed the device was used,
and this suit is for damages for the use of
the device on this boat.
The Court reserved decision.

flow, but the actual interruption of distribu-
tion at the South is sufficient to be felt at st.

but usually fair, though Cleveland notes
some falling off in that respect.

delphia the leather trade is unsettled. the
drug trade fair, and tobacco more active,
particularly as to Sumatra, because of pro-
posed duties, but building in March falls
below last years record.
