Official Paper of the City eff Sedalia
THE ELECTION.

The result of the contest yesterday
is given in the local columns and il
only a partial victory for the demo
cracy and good government, but the
city is in the hands of those who have
its best Interests at heart.
The defea. of Olmsted in the third
ward was unexpected. He was one
of the best alderman the city has had
for long time. Mr.. Wigton, re-
publican was elected. He is a me-
chanic in the NJ, K. & I. shops and
is an upright man, but has no exper.
fence in city matters. He will do the
best he can-he's that kind of a
man.
In the second ward Con McHugh
was defeated. When the democracy
of the ward can put up democrat of
pronounced views he will be over
whelmingly elected. 1t is the strong
est democratic ward in the city, but
the democracy will not vote for re-
publican on the democratic ticket.
Mr. Bosserman, republican, who was
elected, has made a good alderman in
the past and no doubt he will serve
the city well.
In the first ward, Bell Hutchinson,
a democrat takes the place of Mr..
Young, republican. He will be an
efficient man on the board.
In the fourth ward George Dugan,
republican, is elected over Doyle,
democrat. This is republican ward
Dugan is a painter, well ac9fualIMara
with the necessities of the city and
will be useful memb,r.
The democracy held its own. The
council stands the same as it did last
year-five democrats to three repub-
Iicans. Nothing in that to dishear!en
regarding the welfare of the
city. We will go on improving, paw
ing streets, building sewers and pro.
crossing as we should.
We are all Sedalians.

GEORGE CLYATT.

he expired one of the most distinguished judges in England--Mr. Justice Hawk ins-from the bench in open court feel ingly remarked that the legal profession had lost one of its dearest friends and companions. The man so touchingly re- membered was George Clyatt. for fifty years the chronicler of the doings of the London central criminal court.
 In his time he reported 90,O00 cases. saw over thousand men and women sentenced to death and was present at and "wrote up" nearly three hundred and fifty hangings Here is the result of his half century of observation at Old Bailey. embodied in an extract from an interview had with him few days be- fore his death Poverty, take it. is the beginning of all crime and all mur- ders. There are murderers for revenge, murderers for jealousy, murderers for property these are the three exceptions and mur lerers from poverty. And those are inevitable. Eradicate poverty and the hangman may put his rope in his pocket and go back to his old trade. !"
 Such are the changes and chances of this world. On the western prairies one man establishes his right to place in an honorable profession, while at the same time fatal illness seizes veteran of the pen in a far country. Both the beginning and the end were creditable.

rvanesc.n, Fame of the Humorists.

Some writer has said that of all kinds of fame that of the brilliant and success ful lawyer is most evanescent. He's wrong. That of the humorist is more evanescent still. How many of the ris- ing generation ever hearl of "Squibob" or John Phenix"-the titles of Lieu- tenant Derby? Yet he made the Ameri- cans of the JOS roar with laughter. "Doesticlls" is but vague name. "Or- pheus c. Kerr" Is only read by students of the war era, and they often have to study ont the references, for the spirit has passed away with the wants which excited it. Major Jack Downing" de- lighted two gcnerations--it is tedious reading now. And so the list goes on. It may be said that all hnmor which takes it's tone from current events must be short lived. No wonder the old Greek comedies appear stupid to us.

The capital stock of the company is one hundred thousand 100000 shares of ten (sl0) dollars each.
 One-half of the capital stock will be sold in the Territory of Arizona, payable in land adapted to the cultivation of sugar beets. sugarcane sorghum and sac charine products at the market price.
 The other half will be sold for cash, at not less than par, for the purpose of pur- chasing, importing and erecting machin- cry adapted to manufacturing domestic sugar.
 The fifty thousand shares reserved for the farmers can be paid for at any time within five years from the date of the organization in land or it's saccharine productions, such as sugar, beets, sugar cane, sorghum, etc, etc., and the sub- scribers will be entitled to draw divi- dend pro ra,a on payments made.
 The fifty thousand cash shares must be fully paid on delivery, and will be entitled to full dividend semi-annually.
 It is reasonably expected that the company can declare dividend of 25 per cent per annum on current business, and have some land left.
 After the capital stock shall have been disposed of and one-half fully paid in cash, the company will be authorized to issue equal to one-half of the capital stock, bonds secured by mortgage, upon all the property of the company, pay able in twenty years, with interest at the rate of percentum per annum, payable semi-annually, for the purpose of devoting the proceeds to the purchase of land, and for no other purpose; pio- vided, always, that these bonds cannot be issued nor mortgage on the prop erty executed without the approval of g majority of the shareholders.
 The Government of the United States offers to pay bounty of two cents per pound or 40 dollars per ton on domestic manufactured sugar, and to admit tree of duty, until the first day of July, 1892, all machinery required for its manu- facture.
 The Territorial Legislature, at it's last session, passed an act exempting all land used in the cultivation of sugar beets. as well as the plant and machin- cry employed m the manufacture of do- mestic sugar, from taxation for ten years.
 We imported from foreign countries during the last fiscal year, sugar, mo- lasses, candy and confectionery to the value of $10l ,2a3, 1926, or sent away up- wards of one hundred million dollars, which can te retained at home by en- couraging the manufacture of domestic sugar.
 The average yield of saccharine matter from sugar beets in France is only 6 per cent, in Germany 10 per cent.
 In California the average yield is l5 per cent.
 It is confidently believed that the soil and sun of Arizona will yield much larger polarization from sugar beets than France, Germany. California, or any other country; and if these premises are correct. the profits will exceed that of any other sugar factory in the United States.

Two Girls Wealthy and Fancy Free.

It isn't for husbands alone that some young women go west. Witness the cases of Kate Solt and Susan Schlutter, who went to Nebraska seven years ago from Allentown, Pa. They took up grants of government land, built huts and proceeded to raise crops. Presently n railroad came along and laid its tracks right through the center of their lots. A town of 1,000 inhabitants sprang up there. which has become the county seat and promises soon to be city. The girls own the most valuable land in town, are rich and think independence better than husbands. Their names indicate that they are of German descent, and it may be that they have read the recent census returns showing that more than 130,000 married women work in the factories and shops of Germany.

The conditions under which MT. Cres- sey worked entailed many weary rides and much hardship The nearest rail road and telegraph point. Nashville, Neb., was twenty-eight miles distant, and some of the time the road was beset by Indians News telegrams had to be sent by courier. Mir. Cressey was an eyewitness of the Wounded Knee fight It began about half-past in the morn- ing, and it was after 12 o'clock before it was safe to wander about the field. Be. tween it and Nashville were over fifty miles of hill and plain. It was neces- sary to reach the telegraph office by o'clock in order to get the wire.
 An offer of seventy-fve dollars tempt ed daring rider, and he agreed to make the attempt if he could have the dis patch by 1 o'clock. The correspond ent had less than an hour in which to view the field, gather the names of such killed and wounded soldiers as he found at the ambulance wagon, and amid scenes of blood and excitement write his report. The faithful courier reached the telegraph office on time. MT. Cres- seys message was sent broadcast. and the country was startled the next morn- ing by his graphic, even though short and incomplete, description of the fight. So unexpected was the Indian onslaught that five minutes before it began the correspondent mingled among the red skins without fear of danger.
 MT. Cressey was born in Minnesota. After graduating from a high school he entered Chicago university. He began his newspaper career at Des Moines, Ia. He went to Omaha and applied to The Republican for a position. The city ed itor told him to ''go out, write up some- thing and bring it in," intimating that his fate hung on the result. An assign ment might have been an easy task, but for an utter stranger. with no knowledge of what had already been handled" by the paper. to turn up ar important item was difficult. ' In looking around, how ever, Cressey saw some men digging a trench in the middle of side street. On inquiry he found it was the beginning of Omaha's cable car system. His news sense told him he had u good '~g, and he hunted up the head of the ente prise, kindly gentleman, who showed him the plans and filled him full of facts. The next morning his article appeared under big head on the first page, and he has never had to ask for position since.
 At about the time MT. Cressey was winning his journalistic spurs on the northwestern plains there lay dying at London the most famous of modern En- glish reporters. He was not in any sense of the word q correspondent" and con sequently had no place in the class to which Forbes, Villiers, Russell, Mac Gahan, etc., belong. He was a reporter only that and nothing more-yet when

@ THE ARIZONA SUGAR COMPANY O

The farmers who may subscribe to the stock of the company will have a vital and personal interest in the production of sugar beets.
 Farmers and capitalists can estimate the chances of loss and gain as we'll as the directors of the company, but it may be promised that agricultural land free from taxation forms safe investment, and that machinery which can be im- ported free of duty and enjoys immu- nifty from taxation, is only subject to loss by fire, which can be covered by insurance.
 Land in Arizona will produce at least twenty tons of sugar beets per acre, twice annually.
 The market price will depend upon the quantity of saccharine.
 Sugar beets require neither bagging nor storage; but are cash at the mill, and the company might even be able to ad- vance money on unencumbered land de- voted to their cultivation.
 It is matter of consequence in some parts of Arizona that sugar heets ex- tract alkali from the soil better than any other production. ...... .... ...
 After supplying the home market in Arizona with sugar, molasses, confec- tiOns, etc., transportation is the most serious question, and the smaller bulk the production of the country can be reduced into the better for the producer.
 Sugar will bear transportation better than hay, grain, or ores.
 A sugar mill at some railway depot with capacity of 100 tons per day, at $5 per ton for sugar beets, would be great benefit to the farmers and mer- chants of Arizona.
 The cooperative system of offering the farmers one-half of the capital stock payable in the productions required for the mill has worked well in Germany and France, and in fact the cooperative system in every country is the out growth of civilization.
 The farmers interest in the company will be guarantee to the nonresident shareholders of vigilant watch!ulness over the management. and by united ef- fort a staple production may be intro- duced in Arizona which will enliven the source of all permanent prosperity AGRICULTURE.
 It is not to be overlooked that after the aaccharine matter is extracted from sugar beets the residium forms excellent food for sheep, cattle, hogs, poultry, etc., and nothing that comes from the soil is wasted.
 The cultivation of sugar beets may be carried on by the least intelligent labor. Indians, Mexicans, children may all be employed in transplantinv the beets and gathering the crop. Only the mill re- quires intelligent labor.
 Sugar industries are being started in many States of the Union less adapted by nature to the growth of saccharine products than Arizona, and an effort on the part of the residents may encourage assistance from abroad.

Sn' i' "' fA' SlStS that the fall- ure was due to some little defects which he can easily remedy. His boat is 12 feet long, feet wide and feet deep, and it is needless to add that seamen generally declare th,,s he cannot do the trick.
 There have. however, been some re- markable voyages in small boats. In 1878 Captain Andrews and his brother crossed the Atlantic in the dory Nauti- Jus, and they and their boat were great attraction at the Paris exposition. The next year Captain B1rrell and com panion sailed from Boston in nineteen foot boat for Australia, but lost their compass in few days, tried again and very nearly perished on the African coast, after which they abandoned the enterprise, Captain Goldsmith and wife also tried it and failed. and in 1885 Cap tain F. A. Clondman started in twenty. eight foot boat, but was wrecked on the Florida coast. All such attempts have ended in disaster, but there are plenty more ready to make . trial.
