The Pioneer Press thinks that the
time spent by the house in the silver
debate was not altogether
lost, and that the debate was educat-
ing in it's nature. This may be so,
but it is doubtful if, in itself, it
changed vote in that body. There
is scarcely doubt but that the senti-
ment of the people, who had been
goaded to point where forbearance
had ceased to be a virtue, by the
stringency of the times, had far
more effective influence than the per-
suasive eloquence of many of the So
called statesmen who addressed the
emnty benches that they might be
able to see their remarks in the Con-
gressional Record. The large majority
in favor of the bill, however, will do
much to mollify the Impotence of the
people.

A VICTORY FOR SOUND FINANCE

The passage Of the Wilson repeal
bill by the house yesterday by the
large majority Of 129 marks the doom
of the purchase of silver under the So
called Sherman silver law. The large
majority by which the bill went
through the house will have a good
effect upon the senate and serve no.
tice that the people want no unneces-
sary delay. There was another pleas
ant feature about the vote upon the
bill and that was the large majority
by which the amendments providing
for the free coinage of light weight
dollars wore defeated. The large
majority reflects the temper Of
public sentiment, and indi-
Gates the great growth that has
taken place in favor of sound
finance. The wild vagaries of the Pop.
ulist agltator are not finding foot
hold among the great mass of people.
AS they come to examine the differ
ence between sound and a fat money
system, they see the dangers which
are attendant upon the latter, and
wisely decide to steer clear of them.
The cheap money advocate has
made great deal of noise during the
last few years, and being of the most
aggressive nature, seemed to have the
public year, but when the friends of
honest finance turned from other
matters which engrossed their atten-
tion to point out the dangers which
would come from following the lead
of the windy agitator, public senti-
ment crystalized at once around a
sound financial system, and the PEG
pies representatives at Washington
have promptly responded to the
change The pressure which has been
exerted so far should be kept up until
complete victory is won by the pas
sage of the bill in the senate and it's
conveyance to the President for his
signature.

THE SUGAR BEET INDUSTRY.

A correspondent to the Marshall
NeaUs- Messenger, from Northern Ne
braska, speaks as follows of the beet
sugar industry there:
Whatever it may be in farming that
gives profit, or will pay well for la
Dor, is interesting TO the farmer.
Knowing that the average farmer in
Minnesota is in the wheat rut and is
ready, to look to any legitimate enter
prise which will give money for his
labor, and a profit in excess, we have
been largely interested, and have
looked into the beet sugar industry
with a view to it's close adoption to
Lyon county and surroundings.
First, that the soil of Minnesota is as
we'll adapted to raising beets as Ne
braSka the average well posted man
will not deny; second, that the BUS
mess is lucrative, and | will show 1T to
be so; third, that it is within the
reach of the farmers OF Lyon county
if they will reach for it.
Farmers in Nebraska make a con-
tract with the manufacturer to raise
a certain plumber of acres of sugar
beets, from to 100 acres man, seed
being furnished by the company max
ing the sugar, the farmer doing all the
work of raising beets, and delivery at
station or factory at given price
per ton. The price here being uni
formly S. per ton, payable on delivery.
The number of tons run from 10 to 30
tons per acre, according to the care
given the crop, culture, ETC., just like
any other crop we'll taken care OF
good results; slack farming, no pay.
The business is conducted in huge
way here. Beets are received in a
long ware house with huge bins V
shaped. with a water main at the
lower part of the V. These bins be-
ing filed, when the beets are wanted
for use a trap is raised in the lower
part of the bin. beets fall into the
water main and float to the building,
drop into vat, are moved Through
the vat with large augur-like shaft
and washed, then caught up by an
elevator con tanning brushes revolving
in a manner to perfectly clean the
beetS, nice pure water running over
the beets all the way. They are
then twisted to the slicer, passed to
large cylinders and subject to high
test of heat, then begins the chemical
process which is not made public. At
ter the chemical work is done the Ii
quid passes into centrifugal wheels
where the sugar is thrown off, the
balance of the liquid returned once or
twice and the residue put in barrels
and sold to vinegar works, and the
pummice sold to stock men. The
time required for running the beets
through the mill from beginning to
completion is about three hours The
machinery is very fine and everything
must work with precision. | met the
superintendent, a fine German gen
tleman, who granted me the privilege
of going through the works. l after
wards met the chemist of the works,
who is an American and thoroughly
understands his business, and who is
mainly the source of my information.

GETTING TO THE FRONT.

Minnesota is fast pressing to the
front in her stock exhibit at the
worlds fair. Only the great state of
Illinois is likely to get away from
Minnesota in the matter of premiums
and that state will be hard pressed.
The following from the Minneapolis
Journal worlds fair correspondent
gives brief account of MinneSOta'S
triumph:
Minnesota has made such splendid
record in the fairs great live stock
show that a public celebration of her
victories is proposed.
Enthusiastic members of the worlds
fair commission are planning the pa
rade of MinnesOta'S fine horses and
cattle through the grounds, headed by
a band.
Missouri is to have such a celebra-
ton soon, but Missouri has not as
high a rank in the number OF preml-
ums taken as Minnesota. ILLINOIS
will doubtless capture the greatest
number of premiums, but will be
pressed hard by Minnesota, Missouri,
iowa and Wisconsin in the order
named.
Some idea of Minnesota's triumph
may be obtained from the fact that
her breeders have already wen about
$4,000 in premiums, and which Will
probably be increased to $40, 900 before
the show ends.
n. 2. Clarke captures about $4,000
of this amount with his ClydeSdales,
and I'll. +. Brown about 81, 400 with
his Shorthorns. Hugh Paul and the
Cosgrove Live Stock Co., divide the
remainder. Mp. Clarke has a record
of Is premiums out of A so far, OF
which five are first premiums. This
morning his stallion Second Choice
and three colts won third premium,
and Lothian King, in the same class,
fourth premium. Saturday afternoon
Mr.. Clarke took premiums for two
and three year old mares, and also
third premium in the former class.
Hugh Paul's Galloway cattle also
won first premiums Saturday after
noon for one year old heifers and I'M
der one. His one year old "Waver-
treeMiss" and his three year old cow
Superba took second premiums. This
morning in large herds the Dundee
breeder won second premium. This
makes his total nine, of which four
are first premiums.
The Cosgrove company OF LIE Sueur
on Saturday captured third premium
for four Herefords under four years,
and second premium on two animals
the produce of one cow.

TRAINING SCHOOL FOR NUI

TRAINING SCHOOL FOR NURSES
There is in this hospital training
school for nurses, the object of which
is to fit young men and women for the
profession of nursing They not only
become familiar with the care of the
insane, but are trained in general
nursing as we'll, so that after taking
two years. course, and graduating,
they will be competent to do general
sick nursing, and if they wish to do
so, by taking one years training in a
general hospital to become familiar
with surgical nursing, they will be
competent to do any kind of nursing
and will be much better trained than
the graduate of a general hospital.
The course of study is graded and
extends over two years, consisting of
lectures and practical instruction in
all the details of the care of the sick
and insane. Young men and women
taking this two years course of train
ing receive an amount of culture, in
dependent of their training as nurs-
es, which will fit them for any Oc-
cupation they may choose to take up
after graduation, and it has the great
advantage of teaching them to be or
derby, methodical and accurate, be-
sides developing in them the power OF
self control.
During the undergraduate term of
service, men are paid $500 during
the first month and this is gradually
increased according to merit until
after six months they are paid $500.
Graduates may, for good and extended
service be paid $500 per month.
Women are paid $500 the first month
to be gradually increased to $500
after six months. Graduates may be
paid $500.
All applicants should be between Is
and 30 years of age, free from disease
or deformity, land they are expected to
enter for full course of instruction.
Each applicant on being accepted will
be expected to serve one month on
pro baton. after which, if the service
has been satisfactory, they will sign a
contract with the accounting officer
of the institution and provide them
selves with the uniform for nurses.
1t is the desire of the institution to
, elevate nursing to a profession OF
which any one would be proud to be a
member, and we therefore wish to en-
list intelligent young women and
young men in the service. At the
same time it is best for them to thor.
oughly understand that they are un.
dertaking an arduous task, which will
require courage, patience and sell
sacrifice on their part. The regular
term of instruction will begin Sept
1st, and we would like to have as
many applicants as possible sent in
before that time, although candidates
can enter at any time.
Those who are DESTROYS of entering
the training school will please write
to the undersigned, when application
| blanks will be furnished them. L
their references prove satisfactory
the names of candidates will be placed
on file and they will be sent for az
needed.

APAYING INVESTMENT.

The accounts which we have pub.
lished during the past past few days
of MlnneSota's stock exhibit at the
worlds fair have given our readers an
idea of the sweep which the North
Star state is making there, and the
account which will be found elsewhere
today still further swells the triumph
which the Minnesota stock and horse
raisers are winning at Jackson Park.
The attention which the Minnesota
stock exhibit is attracting to the
state, is worth in advertising more
than the entire expense of Minnesota
at the worlds fair, many times over.
In this most extensive and best of all
stock shows ever held, Minnesota is
pressing the rest of the states of the
Union for the lead, and the chances
are that only Illinois will stand aboye
her, and this by mere scratch. We
say that this will be worth more to
the state than the total expense of
representing Minnesota at the fair.
But this is not all. That exhibit
which was to she presumed" showing
Minnesota's advance in the progress
of civilization, has taken front rank
at this meeting of the world. The
grain exhibit is one of the most at
tractive on the ground, while our ed
vocational exhibit has attracted wide
spread attention, and won the warm
est praise from the leading educators
of the world.
And now comes the stock exhibit
of the state pressing close for first
honors. 1t would seem after this vic
tory those legislative kickers and the
very few local papers of the state
which opposed the appropriation of
funds for state exhibit, and declared
it was simply money wasted, would
feel like hiding themselves and doing
penance in sack cloth and ashes. After
the abuse and Misrepresentation
which they have showered upon the
state commission, the superintendent
and others connected with the work
of getting MinneSota's exhibit in
shape, it would seem that a free con-
fession of their mistake would be a
most manly act, especially in view of
the great success which our exhibit is
meeting there. They should remem-
Der that an honest confession is good
for the soul. The FREE PRESS has
contended all along that the advan-
tages which Minnesota would gain
from advertising her boundlesS re-
sources and advantages would far ex-
coed the cost of placing them before
the world and the results therefrom
are fast justifying the position taken.
States to the south and east of us
have had reputation for years fol
fine stock and horses, and that repu-
tation has been the source Of great
wealth to them. But Minnesota has
not been known to sany great extent
as raiser of fine animals. This eX
hibit has brought us to the front with
one stride and has accomplished more
for the farmers and business interests
of the state in this particular direc.
tion than could be reached through
years of plodding through the chan.
nels of trade, and if the wisdom of the
