vanVrauken's Equine Paradox.

This exhibit of what the horse really knows
at the Rink Opera House Monday and
Tuesday evenings of this week gave the
most general satisfaction of any show that
has played here this season. The complete
control under which Mr.. VanVranken has
his horses is almost miraculous, and he is
certainly one among thousand in thor
oughly understanding his 'troup." The
horses did everything imaginable character
istic of the human race, except talk, and by
the very expression of the countenance to a
certain extent even did that.
The first evening the herd impersonated
school children, doing the old fashioned
district school act with an excellence that
convulsed the audience with laughter.
A trial in the common pleas court was the
attraction for Tuesday evening which was
perfectly acted out as far as semi-panto-
mime exhibit is capable
Although the show was not advertised un'
til a day or two before the date here, the
Rink was fairly packed.
| Mr.. VanVranken certainly has natura
| tendency in the horse training line that is
rare, and his Equine Paradox is one in every
sense of the word.

Perils of Modern Life.

Contacts with electric wires, railroad,
accidents, broken car and elevator
cables, explosions Of steam, natural
gas and chemicals, poisons in adulter-
ated food and drink, are u few; but all
these dangers combined do not kill as
slow and sure as Consumption. The
death rate, however, from Consump-
tioD, is being yearly cut down since
DR.. Pierce Of Buffalo, N. Y, has given
to the world his celebrated "Golden
Medical Discovery" cure for Con-
sumption and Throat and Lung trou-
bles that lead to Consumption,i if taken
in time and given fair trial. The
time to cure Consumption (Which is
really nothing more nor less than
Lung-scrofula,l is in the first stages.
A cough generally sounds the alarm,
and you should take the Discovery"
at once. There is time when it is too
late.

Dy this the necessary exclusion of cane
sugar production, that will go on in
the South and the area of country in
the gulf states in which cane sugar
can be successfully produced is being
rapidly enlarged by equally intelligent
and practical study"
us the section of country in which
sugar beets can be successfully grown,
limited to Nebraska, Utah and Cali
fornia, where beet sugar factories are
in operation?"
"By no means. On the contrary 1t
is believed that the successful produc-
ton of sugar beets is entirely practic-
able along strip of country extending
through Northern Ohio, Central and
Northern Illinois, Wisconsin, Southern
Minnesota, Iowa, Nebraska, some
portions of Wyoming and broad strip
around the western coast of Cali
fornia.u
Sufficient to produce sugar for an
immense population, then?p
Eyes, sufficient to produce all the
sugar that the people Of North Amer
lea will want, even when the popula-
tion becomes ten times what 1t Is
now"
"What proportion of the sugar con-
sumed the world over is made from
beets?"
"Fully one-half-yes, more than
half now. The production of beet
sugar is gaining rapidly on the cane
sugar in the past few years, so that the
amount of beet sugar manufactured in
the world is now
CONSIDERABLY MORE THAN CANE
SUGAR.
/ should say that of the sugar consum-
ed in the world to-day, 55 per cent of
it is beet sugar, and the proportion is
constantly increasing in favor of the
beet sugar."
"Where is the beet sugar of the
world made?'
"In the European countries, Ger
many is far in the lead, and her beet
sugar crop last year amounted to | ,300,-
600 tons. France comes next with
750, 900 tons, Austria next with 730, 900
tons, Russia 100000 tons, Belgium
200, 900 tons. The total beet produc-
, tion ofsugar in Europe last year was
! ! 100000 TONS"
"The industry has made great pro-
gress in Europe in the last few years,
has it not?n
: eyes, and largely through govern
y ment encouragement, similar to that
: which the United States is now giving
: to sugar production under the action
= of last Congress"
"Does the production of beet sugar
: require special machinery different
from that used in ordinary farming in
: this country?n
'Yes, it requires machinery especial
: ly adapted to that purpose and factor
: les which cost large sums of mouey
J, 1t is practicable, however, for the or,
! dinary farmer to encourage it, because
as the industry grows and proves pro
fitable he can always sell his beets tx
factories and at prices which will make
g beets an extremely profitable crop"

A COLORED PRIEST.
The First CoIored Man Raised to the
Priesthood in the United States.

BALTIMORE, Dec. 19.-The cathed-
raj of St. Peter and Paul was crowded
this morning with representatives of
the Catholic clergy and laity who had
assembled to witness the ordination of
the first colored man to be raised to
the Catholic priesthood in the United
States. His Eminence Cardinal Glib
bons officiated and the ceremony of
ordination was preceded by the cele-
bration Of solemn high mass.
The name of the new priest is Chas.
r. Uncles, and he is light colored
quadroon. He was born in this city
SO years ago. He will say his first
mass on Christmas morning and early
in the new year he will be assigned to
special work among his race.
There is one other colored priest in
this country. He lives in Chicago, but
was raised and educated for the holy
orders at Rome.

Peter Hickman and A. M. Gidley were up
from Mcclure Monday. Both these gentle
men have long been members of the NORTH
WEST family and by the condition of their
subscription acct will continue to be such.
They have words of praise for their thriving
little village and think that the new grist
mill alone will compensate the town for the
amount of money that has been laid out
during the last year in booming the place.
The mill is indeed a model one, establishing
for Mcclure reputation as grain center
far above Grand Rapids and other larger
places.

Nearly Drowned.

Roy Davis. a thirteen year old son Of ST.
mon Davis, had a narrow escape from
drowning Sunday evening. 1t seems that
the boy is subject to epileptic ats and while
having one fell in the railroad ditch which
contained but four or five inches of water.
Lying on his face the young fellow in his
helpless condition houndered around for
some time and but for the timely aid of Z.
L. Putt would undoubtedly have drowned.
In fact he was nearly strangled at the time
of his rescue.

THE WORLDS HOLIDAYS.
Two Occasions That Are universally
Observed Among Civilized
Nations.

Christmas and New Years
Day have a common interest
with every civilized nation ex-
tant. The one originates in
Divinity, while the other is, to
a certain extent, the creation
of man alone as a means OF
measuring time; the one, the
birthday of Christ-the other,
the birthday of another year.
For 1890 years both have
been observed, still the inter
est and Joy attendant to their
return each year do not
wane,-instead, they are al
ways on the increase, In A

reached it's acme, where all is
being got out of life that is

A Companion for Your June Outing

With over 100 illustrations, the
Cosmopolitan for June sets a fast
pace in the handicap for magazine
honors. The personal element enters
largely into its composition, and an
impression of beautiful women is the
first received by the reader who
turns its pages. The frOntispiece is
a portrait of Madame de PompadOur,
and pertains to a bright sketch Of a
summer spent in the home of that
famous woman by Amelie Rives and
her guests. Three continents furnish
material for the June number. The
European contributions consist of a
description of a Model Municipality,
an article we'll worth the attention
of Americans interested in municipal
government. Perhaps the most val
liable article Of the number is that
contributed by Mr.. Abner l.. Frazer
to the literature of the farmers move
ment. The Cosmopolitan prize of
$500 for the best article on "the needs
Of the farmer, his hours of labor, and
the national legislation necessary to
his prosperity" was awarded by the
judges to this gentleman. COsmO-
