Nebraska Beet Sugar.

The Nebraska Farmer reports that
the Grand Island Beet Sugar Factory
will make ], 900, 600 pounds less sugar
for 1893 than year ago This is a
falling of of about 10 per cent, and
is occasioned by lack of beets to keep
the factory at work. We should
judged that this might be due to the
drought this season, but the Farmer
adds that the crop is not as large be-
cause farmers have lost their inter-
est In growing beets. This is prob
ably near the truth Beet-sugar
making requires large capital, and
those who invest their money in
working up the beet crop into sugar
expect to take all the profit. Ameri-
can farmers either East or West can
not grow beets as cheaplY as do farm
ers in Germany. Our labor costs
more on the farm than does that Of
the German beet grower, for whom
most Of the work in, growing the beet
is done by women and children. The
Nebraska Farmer adds that the Nor
folk factory will make twice the
amount of sugar it did a a year ago.
This is a new factory, and farmers in
the neighborhood have not been dis
couraged by low prices for beets.
The two factories combined will
make little more than 5000, 900
pounds Of sugar, not near enough for
consumption in Nebraska alone.

Farm Notes.

THOUSANDS Of tons of material are
annually wasted because farmers do
not generally appreciate the value OF
mulch.
BEAR in mind that the young
trees will need protection from rab-
bits. mice, etc Don't put it off until
too late this time.
HAS the market ever been over
stocked with good butter or fresh
eggs? Go into the cities and try and
buy these commodities. There will
be different prices, but the choice
articles will be high.
ONE of the most handy utensils
about farm and barnyard is wheel
barrow whose wheel has broad tire.
The common narrow tire on barrow
wheel cuts into the soft ground so
that it makes it very hard vehicle
to propeL
GOOD hay, properly fed, will carry
stock through mild winter without
grain, but they cannot make much
gain on it. The reason why some
who try this find their stock in such
bad shape in the spring is that the
hay is not very good-probably cut
too late.
THE boy on the farm will soon be
the farmer. 1t is we'll that his earl
Ter impressions of the calling to
which he belongs will be such as to
make him believe there is no place to
live like the farm, instead Of believ-
ing it to be the place from which he
will escape as soon as he is old
enough.
SLOvENLY cultivation is a waste of
labor, because it accomplishes no OBJ
iect. A crop that is not thoroughly
cultivated is not cultivated at all,
and small yield results from the
lack of q little more labor that would
double the crop Work is of no value
unless properly applied, and it must
be completed before it will receive it's
full reward.
To KEEP cabbages so as to have
them convenient for use during the
winter grower suggests as follows:
Cut off the stalks and pack the heads
in a clean barrel, filling in with dry,
clean sawdust, as the cabbage are put
in, until the barrel is full, leaving a
good layer o. sawdust on top. Set
the barrel in the barn or under
shelter but not in a damp cellar.
They may freeze, but it will do them
no harm.
AN exchange contains the follow.
ing warning to farmers: II any
farmer in this section has procured
samples Of grain from the Worlds
Fair Agricultural Building he will
do well to burn it forthwith. 1t has
been found that the whole exhibit
has been attacked by the weevil, a
pet whose larva is a worm that bur-
rows in the kernel of the grain aud
has done enormous damage to the
crops In southwest Russia and in
India, whence, doubtless it was
brought to the Worlds Fair. 1t is
stated that thousands of samples of
grain have been carried away from
the Agricultural Building, and there
is presumably scarcely corner of
Of the United States where the pest
has not been carried.

The senator's daughter and two of
his sons draw six dollars day each
from the government. Does the sena-
tor honestly believe they earn that
much? Could they get such a salary
in any other employment? For the
matter of that could the august senator
himself get $4,000 out of any other job
than the one he now has?
The highest salary that PETER ever

Found an Exhausted Eagle at Sea.

FOUND an Exhausted Eagle at Sea.
One of the curious incidents which
happen at sea was reported by a
steamship which arrived at Tacoma
recently. When about six days sail
from the American coast. an eagle,
spent with flying, alighted on the
ship having probably flown from
some American whaling vessel. The
eagle was caught as it was resting on
the ships rail, and kept in a cage
until a vessel was passing into the
Straits of Juan de Fuca. The
American coat of arms was scratched
on its bill, which had been coated
with vermillion. The bird injured
its wings in the cage and was re-
leased. On seeing land it attempted
to 6y, but could not, and was swept
into the sea aud was drowned.

Good Work at walthnm.

Waltham, Mass, July 2S.-Harry Ty-
Ter did not succeed in breaking the mile
record at Waltham today, on account of
the poor pacemaking and an accident.
He succeeded in breaking the world s
record for one-half and three-fourths of
mile.
Nat Butler, of Cambridge, fulfilled the
expectations of the knowing ones by
breaking the record for two miles, and
breaking it hard.
Tyler's time, mile, was 155 9-5. Inter
mediate time was: one-fourth, rs Is;
one-third, 81 1-5; one-half, 55 49, (world' S
record: two-thirds, liza 10 and three
quarters, 1:24 1-5 (world's record. When
Tyler appeared for his second trial, the
tandem took the Springfield boy across
the tape and he was riding in magnifi-
cent style when his front wheel came in
contact with the rear wheel of the tan
dem and Tyler was thrown, but was not
seriously injured.
After the first mile had been reeled off
in 2:09 2-5, the records began to drop and
six of them went inside the next two
minutes and seven seconds. Buffers
time for the intermediate distances was:
Quarter, 30 2-5: one-third, :39; half, so 1-5;

Woodland Cal, July 2S.-During the
examination of the American Railway
union men accused of train wrecking
today it was proved that the prisoners,
Worden and Hatch, were leaders in the
crowd of strikers that stole a locomotive
and Pullman coach at Lathrop and
ran to Stockton, where fifty more
strikers were taken on, and then to
Sacramento.
M. j. Crosby, a Southern Pacific fore
man at Stockton, testified that he
talked with Worden at Stockton and
that during the argument Worden said:
IF the worst comes to the worst, we
can fight; we can make bombs of the
very best material"
The manager of the Western Union
Telegraph company at Sacramento, who
had been ordered to produce copies of
all kilograms sent by the American
Railway union leaders next called. He
handed the kilograms demanded to the
court. The dispatches were all from the
prisoner, Knox, chairman of the strik-
er's mediation committee to various
American Railway union men, and
their general tenor was to urge the men
to stand firm. There was only one
damaging to the defense. This read:
"McClintock, Tuckee-State troops
here. You come with all guns and
volunteers. You come by train at once
without orders. III A KNOX"

New York, July "a London special
says that the special cabinet council
summoned last night for the considera-

morning.
The cables were burdened all night,
with long government messages. The
Chinese minister received a dispatch
from Tien Tsin at ) o'clock this morn
ing, which caused him to summon Sir
Halliday Mccartney an hour later.
Both gentlemen were closed with Lord
Kimberly long before his usual Office
hours.
Lord Rosebery then consulted with
the foreign secretary several hours in
the middle of the day.
The American cable was almost mo-
nopolized with urgent messages be-
tween the state department at Wash

the British government has abandoned
the suggestion that the question at dis
pute between China and Japan be sub
mitted to it as an arbitrator, it being
evident that such an arrangement

effort of the English government now
is to secure the acceptance of Presi-
dent Cleveland's offer to mediate.

phesy, but the opinion in diplomatic
circles here now is that a compromise

| Washington, July 2S.-The tariff stu
alton has kept pace with the intensity
of the heat
Throughout the day, there have been
tariff conferences at the White House,
tariff conferences of the Senate and
House conferees, and finally an effort
for a House caucus on Tuesday to con-
slider some means of solving the tariff
problem. Out of it all has come no
exact and definite programme, by
which the time of the passage of the
tariff bill or it's form can be predicted.
President Cleveland's great interest
in the income tax struggle was shown
early in the day by the calls of Chair
man Wilson and Representative Catch
ings, the latter being Speaker Crisps
associate on the committee on rules
The presidents callers were careful to
refrain from any intimation of the
policy of the administration and there
were conflicting reports as to the atti-
tude of Mr.. Cleveland.
1t was stated, by those closely con-
nected with administration affairs,
that he is as firm now as when he
Wrote the famous letter 10 CHAIRMAN
Wilson against yielding what he regards
as vital principles of tariff reform.
On the other hand, the current of
opinion in congressional circles seemed
to be that the only solution of the
problem is in accepting the Senate bill
substantially as it stands, with such
concessions as the conferees have
shown a disposition to yield. This
current feeling found expression late
in the day in a petition circulated by
Mr.. Springer, requesting Representa-
tive Holman, chairman of the House
Democratic caucus committee, to call
a caucus on Tuesday afternoon next
unless the tariff conferees had reached
an agreement by that time. This was
the first open expression toward yield
ing to the Senate bill.
The Democratic tariff conferees as
sembled today and went over the essen
tial points of difference on sugar. iron
ore and coal. 1t was stated at the con-
c1usion of the meeting that the SEN
ators had, in effect, presented an ulti-
matum which was that the Senate bill
so far as the disputed features were
concerned, was the only tariff measure
which could get through this Congress
and become a law. The House con-
ferees withdrew to the Ways and
Means committee room and were in
executive session an hour Mr.. Wilson
said at the close of the meeting that
no definite decision was reached. 1t
was determined, however, to call in the
Republican conferees on Monday.

EXODUS TO EUROPE.
Twenty Thousand to Thirty Thous,

Twenty Thousand to Th1rty ThOuS%
and Leave America Every Month.
Chicago, July 2S-General Manager
Whiting, of the Conrad S. S. line in Chi
cago, who has just returned from New
York, said:
''The exodus to Europe which began
in the early spring still continues and
increases. Nothing like it has been
known before. 1t is not confined to
steerage passengers. The increase in
cabin passage is in full proportion to
the Steerage business. The Pavonia, of
our line, left Boston last Saturday with
528 steerage and 200 cabin passengers.
Every line will be taxed to its utmost
during the present summer.
when you come to telling how
many people are going abroad, it is not
easy to do. For a, rough calculation l
would say there were ten lines, each
carrying 500 steerage passengers From
that at mere guess l would say that
there were 20 900 or $4,000 Storage pas
|sengers leaving this country every
month. AS to the character of these
passengers they are the best class of
mechanics and working people.
''While no one knows absolutely the
cause of the exodus one does not have
to look far to find several plausible ex-
plantations. Cabin passengers are more
numerous because some people are Just
returning to Europe from tina
exposition, which detained them
here last summer. "A great
many of the Steerage pasSen-
gers, when times were good, sent money
to their friends abroad and now when
times are hard here. they go abroad to
live on those friends for awhile. But,
latter all, there is more or less mystery
labout the movement.

Chicago, July 2S.-Mr. and Mrs.
Burke. well known residents of the
north side, who are spending the sum-

experience last night Awaking from
slulnber they discerned masked bur-

remembered with pleasure that his cur

disposed to take matters coolly.
''Try the right pocket of the vest;
you'll find a $40 bill there" he oblig-
lingly commanded the thief.
"Thanks, your watch now, please"
demanded Mr. Burglar, politely, as he
took possession of the bill.
1T is at the jewelers.; you'll find a

The robber transferred the worthless
timepiece into his pocket and proceeded
to examine the bric-a-brac on the man
