Gates Phillips and Miss Lydia Roos,
daughter of Geo. Roos, both of this city,
went to st. Peter Yesterday and were
married. The contracting parties are
both quite young, and their marriage
will be surprise to most Mankato peo-
pie.
Mrs. Dittman returned last week
from Chicago, and the large stock OF
goods which she purchased is now arriv-
ing. She will have a grand opening on
Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Sat-
urday of this week, and none of the lad
les should fail to be present. The stock
includes everything in the millinery
line, and the childrens' department is
especially complete. Mrs. Dittman has
an elegant display of the latest and most
fashionable styles. 154d5t 16w2t
Capt. Haigh and Harry Bulls are
circulating petition among the people
the city to-day for signatures asking
State Auditor Braden to cause the name
of S. M. Owen to be placed upon the bal
lots of candidates to be voted for at the
approaching general election. The Aus
tralian law demands the signatures of
1900 voters to the petition, and while
the act does not 80 require, it would
seem quite consistent that these sigma
lures come only from those who believe
in and expect to support the movement
of the Alliance in establishing an indie
pendent party. While the signatures of
others than Alliance men do not, as be-
fore stated, commit the parties to the
support of the ticket, it furnishes the
leaders fictitious strength upon which
to mislead the uniformed as to the
number of votes claimed for Owen. No
doubt the petition will be heartily en-
dorsed by the Democrats, for the ALI
ance movement is thus far proving a
guardian angel to their cause. Repub-
icans, who are true to their party and
who believe in it's principles, should be
consistent with themselves by withhold
ing their names from any such petition.

tanned the letters and wrote to the Post.

he must distribute them. He yesterday
received instructions from the Attorney
General that the letters must be distri.

our citizens found the matter in their
mail. The Mexican lottery is a new
growth that has sprung into existence
under the luxuriant and salubrious eli
mate of Mexico, and aspires to become
the equal of the Louisiana concern in
the injury which it is doing to the coun-
try. There are numerous purchasers OF
tickets in this city, who squander their
earnings upon the unequal chance OF
getting something for nothing. A per-
son would be surprised to know the
amount of money that is monthly drawn
away from the city by these Ubiquitous
establishments.

In the days "befo' de wah," now a
quarter of century ago, the letters above
were used to represent the First Fam
lilies of Virginia" The courtly and cul-
tured Virginlan, from colonial times
down, was perhaps the best specimen
of aristocracy that our country has ever
seen, because it was not built on mere
wealth as basis, but had its foundation
in birth, blood, breeding, chivalrous
sense of honor and true refinement OF
feeling. But an industrial and CONNER
cial era has supplanted the day of great
gentlemen farmers and planters and the
"F. F. "" is of the past. These initials
however have quite as apt significance
when applied to the night trains of "The
Burlington'-"Finest and Fastest Yes

SUGAR BETS.

Mr.. B, W. Sewer, of Eagle Lake,
sent samples of sugar beets to the De-
partment of Agriculture at Washington
for analysis, and on Friday received
from the Division of Chemistry the fol-
lowing report:
VARIETY, Dippe's Kleinwanzleben,
average weight of beets 4S0 grams; per
cent. of sugar, II 70; per cent. of juice,
cane sugar, 1874; per cent. of juice lash
so; coefficient of purity SO.2; saline CO.
efficient 1928.
The sample above submitted was
most carefully tended and cultivated,
also well fertilized, which, when COM
pared with the following analysis of the
same variety, shows the value of cult
walton.
Average weight of beets $50 grams;
per cent. of sugar, 1896; per cent. of
Juice, cane sugar. 1919; per cent. of Juice,
ash, LIZ; coefficient of purity, TAI; sa-
line coefficient, 9.73.
The following is different variety
from the above, and while trifle bet
ter than the last given analysis is not 30
rich as the first, albeit it was cultivated
and cared for with the same pains, 1t
is known as the Despres Richest, and
is found to contain the following prop
critics:
Average weight of beets, 500 grams;
per cent. of sugar, 1914; per cent. of
Juice of cane sugar, 11.3; per cent. of
juice, ash SO; coefficiency, 1857; saline
coeficiency, 1l.4l.
The claim is made in all reports that
10 per cent. of sugar is profitable to the
manufacturer, and Mr.. Sewer believes
that it cannot fail to be profitable to the
farmer also. He says that while the
cultivating of beets is as yet an expert
ment, there is no doubt about the prof
itableness of the crop if the proper care
and attention is exercised. Mr.. Sewer
also says that he believes with ex-
perience and proper fertilizing, our
Northwestern farmers can raise sugar
beets equally as rich as are now grown
in Germany. There the per cent. OF
sugar averages from Ii to IA per cent.
If the cultivating of this crop proves q
success, and there is every reason to be-
lieve it will, the farmer will be paid 81
per ton for his beets by the government
and at a low estimate the yield will give
Is tons of beets to the acre. The boun.
ty thus given will pay for the cost Of
production and leave the producer his
sugar products as profit for his labor

New Ulm weekly review. [volume] (New Ulm, Minn.) 1878-1892, 1890-09-24

floor of the lower house of Congress last
Wednesday during the consideration of
the motion to non concur in the senate
amendments to the tariff bill. Repre-
sentatives Suider, Lind, Dunnell, Hans

congressman made it quite lively for
members of the ways and means com
mite on the question of binding Irvine,
and on the vote to non-c concur in the
senate amendments, the above named
members voted with the Democrats. The
bill went to committee of conference,
and the Northwestern members say if
that committee does not agree to the free
twine amendment of the senate, they will
vote with the Democrats to send it back
to the conference until the amendment is
agreed to. .....,..

The Corvallis gazette. [volume] (Corvallis, Or.) 1862-1899, 1890-09-26

A pocket typewriter is shortly to be
offered to the British public, says the
Pacific Slope Patent Office Record. Type
writing instruments now in the market
are of considerable size and weight-at
least person could scarcely think OF
carrying one about with him regularly.
The one under notice is not only mex
pensive, but is so small that it may be
carried in the waistcoat pocket. The
retail price will be under 10 shillings;
it measures 5 IL inches by 3 inches
and weighs about four ounces. Though
so small it is not mere toy. The in
ventor claims for it that twill turn out
better work and be found more useful
than the larger and more expensive
machines. With reference to its con-
struction, all that can be seen when
specifically examined is a disk about
the size of the face of a gentleman's
watch, in which the type is fixed. and
one or two small rollers. 1t will print
line from an inch to yard long and
paper of any size or thickness can be
used. Anyone can use it, though, as
in the case of other instruments,
practice is required to enable the
operator to write quickly. Another
advantage is that by means of dupll-
cate types the writer can be used for
different languages. Patents have been
obtained for most of the country in
Europe as well as for America, Canada,
ana Australia.

Meath the Turkeys Foot.

There is clinging to some of the early
settlers of Hendricks and Morgan
counties an impression that buried be-
meath huge stone somewhere in the
fertile valley of White Lick creek there
are valuable treasures. The story is
that when the Delaware indians were
forced to vacate their hunting grounds
along the creek they believed they were
to be sent from their lands temporarily,
and rather than risk carrying their
wealth into strange country they
buried it under huge rock until they
returned. The rock was marked with
turkeys foot carved in the stone pro-
iecting above the earth.
Early settlers along the stream say
that several years after the tribe had
vacated the lands lone Indian came
through the country in search of a
treasure which he said had been buried
under a stone. He disappeared as
mysteriously as he came, but he left
behind him that tradition that remains
with some people to this day.
Following g the disappearance of the
Indians the settlers began to search for
the treasure. Then it was found that
there were plenty of huge stones
marked with turkey tracks" it SEEM
ingly having been a favorite pastime
of the red man to carve out the imprint
of turkeys feet upon all the great
stones along the stream. Notwith.
standing this obstacle, many farmers
excavated beneath huge stones, and
were disappointed at not being re-
warded for their labor. 1t is doubtful
if there is great stone within three
miles of the creek that has not been
burrowed under in search of the treas
ure. AS late as ten years ago the story
of the treasure was revived along the
stream. and rocks that had never been
disturbed were burrowed under.-Iaa-
