1t may surprise New England peo-
pie to hear that beet sugar is become
a large Nebraska product, and that in
spite of the low prices-perhaps on
account of the sugar bounty. Two
large factories are making sugar of
high quality from beets grown in Ne
braska, and the business may be ex-
tended indefinitely in a region so adj
mirably suited to it. The agricultural
department says that among the sam
pies of beets received from various
States the highest coefficient of puri-
ity was found in those from Nebraska.
The proportion of sugar in these beets
is per cent. greater than in Ger
many, and the soil gives the beet
growers here great advantage over
those of the Old World, who are oblig-
ed to use artificial fertilizers to an ex-
tent which offsets the difference in the

Soon after the occurrence, the
father, Mr.. Samuel Condor, of
Springfield, ILL.,, was ,elegraphed for,
and as fast as seam could convey him
he hurried to the city. He arrived
here this morning, and his grief was
intense.
How PAMELEE SPENT THE NIGHT.
Nothing eventful trsnspired in the

Of the Sherifi's dwelling with Deputy

After supper he smoked a cigar
with seeming ni,yment, read little

The peace and quiet of Sedalia was
again disturbed to-day by one of
those occurrences that shock a com.
munity and bring tears of pity to the
eye.
ANOTHER HUMAN LIFE
has been taken and another man must
answer for the deed at the bar Of jus.
tice.
The tragedy occurred at 1880 this
morning, and the scene was The law
office of William Psrmelee.
w. j. Condor, a brakeman, was
the man who lost his life, and VIM.
Parmelee, an attorney, did the deed,
the circumstances leading to it being
as follows:
Condor visited Parmelee at his
law office twice during the morning
and it was on the second visit that he
got shot.
1t was about o'clock when he first
entered the law office and began with
out preliminaries to upbraid TIE
lawyer demanding why he didn't
withdraw the garnishee that Parme-
lee in behalf of an AtchisOn conduc-
tor had filed against Condon's wages.
Parmelee replied by saying that he
had nothing to DO with that matter,
that he was only carrying out the
demands of his client.
THE CONVERSATION BETWEEN THE
TWO MEN
was heard by both DR.. NJ. T. Collins
and A. W. Winzenburg, who occupy
rooms adjacent 10 that in which the
difficulty occurred.
] he former gentleman testifes that
Condor was very profsme and talked
in loud and threatening voice.
HIS SECOND VISIT.
He at length depar ted however, and |
it was thought that the trouble was
over when about 10 o'clock
he again visited the lawyers
office and began again to make de.
mands. The two gentlemen who
heard the conversation state that he
was even more abusive this time than
ever and said that he would attack
the train run by Conductor Hukill
unless bis demands were granted,
accompanying which we're threats
aimed at Parmerlee.
TWO SHOTS FIRED.
Suddenly in this confusion of voices
one of the men shouted stand back
stand back :" and then in almost an
instant "hold up your hands immedi-
ately followed by two shots fired in ,
hot succession. Ii
The voice was Parmelee's and he Il
had done the shooting.

Winzenburg says he arrived in ,
time TO see Condor sink
ing to his knees and then L
tumble over limp and lifeless on the
floor.

written By Condon to Parmelee. On
receipt of this communication
in which it is alleged
that most abusive and threatening
language was INDUCED. "Parmelee,
says Mr.. Smith, "came to me and
told me about it, saying that he
thought he would have Condor ar.

AMERICAS GREAT MEN.
WHY THEY ARE NOT GIVEN TO
LONGEVITY.
John 3. ingalls, Introduces New SUBJ
Ject-Dcath, He Says, is Not an Acct
able Law.

The lamented and untimely death of
Senator Plumb in the meridian of his
years, his powers and his usefulness to
Kansas and the country, has again
called attention to the always interest
ing subject of the health of public men as
affected by the necessary conditions of
Congressional and official life. The fire.
quency of similar catastrophes in the
last decade has appeared more start
ling because the victims of overworlS
were men of whom longevity might
have confidently been predicted. Man
ming, Window, Randall, Beck, Burnes,
and many others who have fallen pos
sessed extraordinary vigor, vitality and
endurance. BY the horoscope they
were entitled to length of days and
should have died hereafter.
No doubt the demands upon the
time and strength of public men are
excessive; and as constituencies grow
and interests multiply must inevitably
increase rather than diminish. 1t con-
Germs the people, therefore, to consider
whether they are imposing burdens
heavier than can be borne, or whether
these alarming fatalities are partly due
to disregard to obvious laws, to irrcgu-
lar habits and causes that might be
avoided-in other words, whether pre-
mature deaths are murder or suicide.
With a population of ten millions
and access to the capital by stage coach,
steamboat or private conveyance, the
public service was leisurely, isolated
and digni6ed. But with sixty-five mil

phones and special deliveries, the post

says, "to hear something of the war

the city captured, but the slaughter
was simply awful. Every one captured
is killed. They don't know what

Talk about the feeling against us!
