FROM RAIN TO SNOW.
Another Phase of the Big Storm
Develops Itself.

The heavy rain which fell all day
yesterday turned to snow in the night
and without there being any material
decrease of temperature there was a
hard north wind and steady fall of
snow until this afternoon, nearly as
much snow having fallen as in the
other big snow storms of the winter.
All central and western Kansas seems
to be caught in the downpour. The
southbound Santa Fe train was over
an hour late and the train men report
ed deep snow all the way to Superior,
Neb. The eastbound Union Pacific
passenger train was delayed on the
plains west of Ellis hours behind
schedule time. A plug went through
at noon taking local traffic.
The storm is severe one on stock
The scarcity of feed has made thu
past two weeks the most expensive o.
the winter for the farmers. The road!
are almost impossible and townspeO
pie find that the high prices of hay anC
corn make keeping horse or COW ar
expensive luxury.

The Farmers Benefits.

The farmer seems to be getting de-
cidedly the best of the bargains going
nowadays in national policy and he
has the republican party to thank for
it. The Inter-Ocean has been review
ing what has been done for the Ameri-
can farmer since the passage Of ''the
infamous Mckinley BILL" and either
directly or indirectly because of it.
The Brazilian market has been made
free to United States grain and meat.
Millions of dollars worth of of Can
adian produce has been excluded
from competition with United States
produce.
A bounty has been provided fol
every pound of beet, maple or sorghum
sugar produced.
An impetus has been given to the
industry of wool growing.
The German market has been re-
opened TO American beef.
Millions have been, or are being
spentin the erection of tin plate works,
the operatives of which will be con.
sumers of farm produce.
One American tin plate factory
already is producing roofing plates at
"a little lower cost than that Of
foreign goods of like weight and
quality" This being a purchaser
testimony.
The duty on cheap sugar has beer
repealed, on high graded reduced to q
NEARLY nominal figure, with the all but
certain result of reducing prices by
cents pound after 1st of April.
The wholesale prices of flaunels and
some other wooden goods are a shade
lower than at this time last year.
Freights are lower than in any
other country in the world.
So is the price of nearly all farming
implements.
Farm produce is bringing better
prices than at this time last year.
These things being thus it is difficult
to suppose that the American farmer
will he anxious to change them fOl
those to which he or his father wa
accustomed in 1.-THE good old times o.
free trade" when hogs were worth
cents and sugar worth Is cents /;

EXPERIMENTAL BEET RAISING
What is Asked of the Farmers of
Dickinson County.

What is the value of beets raised in
Kansas for making sugar?
This question can be answered only
by actual trial. No guess or estimate
or figuring what the yield ought to be
can give the reliable Gaia upon which
to base a business involving so large
an outlay of capital,
A quarter o. million dollars should
not be invested on guess work, but if
100 or 200 good farmers in different
sections of the state will give the sub
iect careful trial to determine how
many tons of beets fitted for the fac.
tory can be raised on an acre and what
is the actual cost per ton of raising the
beets. and if fair specimens of such
beets shall be sent to our agricultural
college for analysis to determine the
amount of sugar they contain, such
investigations will furnish the bottom
facts.
This is substantially the plan pro-
posed by DIR. Scheidtweiler who was
here on Saturday last and conversed
with many of our farmers on the sub
ject. A quantity of seed of the best
varities of sugar beets has been Or
dered from Germany by the gentleman
to be distributed to our farmers under
certain conditions - the farmer to
raise an eigth or sixteenth of an acre
from this seed, according to directions,
keeping an account of the cost of
raising the crop and weighing the
marketable crop or the beets free from
the tops and crown that rises above the
ground.
DR.. Scheidtweiler will visit Abilene
again on April 4th and desires to meet
as many farmers within a radius of
five miles from the city as will agree
to make this test.

Sugar from Beets.

as will be seen in another column
the farmers of Dickinson county are
asked to till experimental pacthes OF
sugar beets. We understand that DR..
Scheitweiler proposes to merely super
intend the raising of the beets and will
furnish all the seed, which will be sent
from Germany. 1t is good opportun-
ity for a number of our farmers to test
an important and promising industry.
The sugar beet industry, so far
as tried in this country, promises abuu-
dant success. The plant at Grand
Island, Neb., last year made 225 BUSH
els per day of as excellent sugar as can
be had in any market and this season
the number of plants or mills will be
increased by others at O'Neill and
Wallace.
The soil of Kansas is untried as yet
so far as the growing Of sugar beets is
concerned but there is every reason for
believing our soil we'll adapted for this
industry. We hope our farmers will
experiment in this direction the pres
ent season, as diversity of industries
always adds to the wealth of country.
If we can show that our soil will grow
sugar beets both in quantity and quail
ity, plenty of capital will be ready to
erect mills to manufacture beets into
sugar and to contract with our farmers
for thousands of acres to be grown in
in sugar beets and every acre grown
will net the farmer from $50 to $50.
The area adapted to the growth of
sugar cane in this country for climatic
reasons is very limited, while the area
suited to the growth of sugar beets
embraces millions of acres. While
France, Germany, Austria and Russia
have pushed forward this industry to
astonishing lengths we have stood idly
by, an importer and consumer of beet
sugar not a producer; while these
countries refuse to take pound of our
pork in exchange, less hogs and more
beets may remedy this evil. This
country paid Germany alone SIG, OOO,-
900 for sugar in 1889, while Germany
still refuses to admit a pound of our
hog products.
1t will cost little to test the matter
and as not dollar of cash outlay is
demanded, Dickinson's farmers can
| afford TO experiment.

Mr.. ingalls, New Ground.

The REFLECTOR has expected to see
from Mr.. ingalls, a denial of having
ever spoken the words attributed to
him in the Baltimore and Boston in
terviews and given in full in these
columns. 1t has not come and it must
be understood that he deliberately
returned the republicans of Kansas a
slap for the kindness and honor they
gave him last winter. Then they
stood by him because he asked it when
it was thought with good reason that
some other republican could have been
chosen. The republicans of Kansas
were loyal to ingalls,; Ingalls,, now
that he is defeated, proves traitor of
the st. John stripe to them.
The Topeka Capital aptly sums mp
the situation as follows:
No tongue was more bitter in its
ridicule nor so sarcastic in its denun-
citation of the principles advocated by
the alliance as was Senator Ingalls,.
No speaker in the senate, no writer in
the press has been more filled with
sectional bitterness and hate than Sen
ator ingalls,. Then, why this TRADE
against sectionalism from him in the
Boston interview, why this lOblOlly
nonsense about the principles of the
alliance party, and the inferred rebuke
to the old parties concerning the re-
forms that ought to have been espoused
by them? 1t comes with exceeding
bad grace from senator of eighteen
years. service, who has done so little to
bring these reforms about. These
views of Senator Ingalls, are matter
of establishment to the republicans of
Kansas. What these double, political
somersaults are made for is a matter
of speculation. Whatever they are,
the promptings of ambition for presi-
Dental place on the alliance ticket, or
merely the vsporings of disappointed
man over his political defeat, they dis
play in either case cold blooded dis
regard for the party that made him
great and an inconsistency that his
usual explanation will not make salts
factory to Kansas republicans.

Who Runs the Gozsrnment 2

An interesting fight on a matter
of principle is on hand in the Fourth
district. Some days ago a Miss
johnson was appointed postmistress at
Silver Lake; Shawnee county, to fill a
vacancy caused by the:resignation of
the republican incumbent. The out
going official recommended the ap-
pointment of a man named Richards,
but Representative Otis, in whose dis
triet the Office is situated, selected Miss
johnson. Her papers were already on
file, for she had previously been an
applicant for the place, and her en-
dorsements included the names Of
nearly 800 citizens of the town. Since
the appointment was made it has been
found that Miss Johnson's male rela-
tives were all alliance men in the last
election and the straight-out republi-
cans declare that she is not entitled to
the Office, especially as she herself did
a lot of the Mrs. Lease style Of cam
paigning. About half the republican
leaders of Topeka have gone to Wash
ington to plead with the president for
the appointment Of an out-and-out re-
