Washington, and throughout the entire

more than ordinary ability, and of

A DOG ON THE RAMPAGE.
Killed for Taking Possession Of the
California Theater Box
Office.

There was great excitement on Bush
the loud reports of three pistol shots in the
little alley below the engine-house. Many
supposed that another murder had taken
place, and while hundreds gathered near
the engine-house no one entered the alley.
A minute later Officer Jerry Dinan
emerged from the alley and said, HE is
dead.' A thrill of horror ran through the
crowd, but it changed to disgust when it
was learned that the policeman had only
killed dog.
The animal was large, vicious creature
of the bull-terrier breed and it had caused
vast amount of trouble before its life was
ended by Dinan's bullets. 1t started on
the warpath in saloon near by ard bit
the calves of several men before 1t was
kicked into the street. Prompted no doubt
by terror and yiciouSneSs it started to run
a-muck.
Several fled for safety and went into
dark doorways to pin up more or less
damaged garments.
At last the dog bolted into the California
Theater, and with sort of Sheritf's in
stinct entered the box-office.
Al Morgenstern and A. Pincus were
nearly knocked off their perches by the
beast, which at once took possession OF the
premises.
Morgenstern escaped and slammed the
door, but Pincus, it is said, got stuck
while trying to crawl out through the
ticket window.
Then it was that Officer Dinan appeared
upon the scene and lassoed the savage
brute with a balerope. He dragged the
dog down into the alley and fired three
shots from his revolver into its vitals.

A TRIBUTE TO SPRECKELS,
DR.. Koebig Says California Needs
More Men Like the Sugar
King.
Future of Beet Sugar Industry in Cali.
fornia Depends Upon Tariff
Legislation.

"Beet-sugar Industry and It's I'm port.
ance to California" was the subject Of a
scientific lecture by DR.. julius Koebig al
the Mechanics Institute last evening.
Germany the cradle of the industry. still
stands against the world in the produc-
ton of beet sugar." said the speaker. "It
was $50 years since Margrave delivered his
famous lecture before the Academy OF
Sciences at Berlin. in which he claimed
that the product of the beet might become
a successful competitor with that of cane.
How true these claims are is shown by the
success of the beet-sugar industry to-day"
DR.. Koebig gave a detailed description
of the operation of the extraction of sugar
by means of the ordinary process of the
diffusion of liquids, and gave clear expo
sition of the subject from chemists point
of view.
The speaker continued: "I want to deny
a statement as erroneous as it is frequently
repeated. That is that the sugar extracted
from the beet is inferior to cane sugar.
The Juice of the beet is, it is true, not so
pleasant to the taste as is that of the cane,
but properly cured beet sugar is in no par
ticular inferior to the product of the cane.
Can the industry of beet sugar manu-
facture be made an extensive one? The
answer depends upon the consideration of
two others. Is it possible TO raise the
amount of beets necessary to carry on the
industry? This has been answered by ac-
tual experiment. 1t has been shown by
scientific farming that tonnage of twelve
tons per acre is within the possibilities.
Another is as to the practica bility of its
manufacture. l believe out representa-
tives IN Washington will see to it. 1t can
not be denied that the inducements of
tered for its manufacture at present are in
adequate. Proper legislation would make
it possible to successfully compete with
the European sugar trade.
wherever the beet-sugar industry has
been started it has drawn larger popula-
ton about the scene of its activity. Wat
sonville is an example of this. More such
energy and knowledge as Claus Spreckels,
the pioneer III the enterprise on this coast,
has shown in so admirable degree and
more favorable tariff legislation, would
make California peeress in the industry.
'It is true we have in California a
climate unexcelled. fruit and flowers un-
surpassed, but we have few such men es

TO DISTRIBUTE TURKEY.
The Mission Of the Good Samaritan Will
GLADDEN. Many Hearts.

The Mission Of the Good Samaritan Will
GLADDEN. Many Hearts.
Under ordinary circumstances there
would be many turkeyless homes south
of Market street this Thanksgiving. The
Mission of the Good Samaritan at 249 Sec
ond street has brought the rich Episco-
palians of the City into closer touch with
the unfortunates of that quarter, and as
consequence there will be much more
cause for Thanksgiving than there would
otherwise have been.
The mission has its mems club and its
boys club. There are many social bene.
fits that bring the people of its vicinity to
the rooms for evenings of pure and inno-
cent amusement. 1t has also brought to
light the wants of those who, though poor.
would be too proud to ask for any assist
ance.
These people are the ones the mission
designs to help this year. Many turkeys
have already been promised, with other
dainties, and the laaies of the mission will
be OH hand all Wednesday afternoon, the
day before Thanksgiving, and on Thursday
morning to receive contributions.
A list Of those to be helped will be sent
to the other charities in order that no
families will be visited by two organ;za-
tiOns
