NO AID FROM HoLcoMR.

SebFaska's Governor Refuses to Give Any
Comfort to Kentucky Republicans.
Congressman Hunter of Bowling
Green, KY, recently addressed letter
to Governor Holcomb in which he re-
quested the governor to assist in rails
ing a fund in Nebraska to aid in the
election of a Republican governor in
Kentucky and thus break the "solid
south"
Governor HOIcomb, who is Populist,
replied: ut would please me very
much to witness a breaking up of the
solid south in the interests of the
masses, but I would regret to see the
people of Dixie throw of the yoke of
Cleveland Democracy only to assume
the bonds of a party pledged to class
legislation, advocating q prohibitive
tariff for the benefits of the wealthy
eastern manufacturers, a single gold
standard to enhance the fortunes Of
Wall street niillionaires and British
syndicates and an antipathy to all re-
forms demanded by the people Your
letter was doubtless addressed to me
because the news of the partial re-
demption of Nebraska from Republican
misrule had not yet reached the head
quarters Of the Republican executive
committee Of Kentucky. Therefore l
return the communication as you
would doubtless not desire to have it
given publicity"

The Music Listened to BY Medium
Sized Audience.
The band concert Tuesday night was
a harmonious success, if not a financial
one. The organization has been helped
out greatly by additional instruments,
especially so in the bass. The technic
has steadily improved, and it is doubt
full if any but the firstclass professional
bands could equal the productions of
the GoOdland band. The most difficult
compositions were rendered with &C
curacy and ease, which bespoke Goa
slant practice and efficient instruction.
The Mandolin club, composed of
members of the band, gave the audi
ence two splendid renditions, which
we're duly appreciated.
The poor support the band has re-
ceived at the last few concerts is very
discOUraging to the members who have
succeeded, after months of unremitting
practice, in giving Goodland the best
band organization west of the Missouri
river, and the stay-at-homes should be
heartily ashamed of their failure to
contribute to the support of one of the
city's best and most attractive adver-
tisements.

which could not be suppressed by

was due to the fact that it had now
passed the pyrOtechnic stage of noise
and demonstration, and the time for
sober thought had arrived. Senator
PETER said the POpulists would elect

TIE sugar. BEET INDUSTRY.
A CrOp That Would Grow Well and Pay Well
In Sherman County.
The Best Crop Known to Withstand the
Ravages Of Dry neutrality-suspicious.
Prove sherman County Soil Adaptable
10 Their Growth.

The one problem that is uppermost
in the minds of most western farmers
is what crop can be raised that will
successfully Withstand the rayages Of
occasional dry weather and yield
good profit without the aid of irrigation.
Several enterprising Sherman county
farmers have been led by experiments
to conclude that the problem is solved
in the sugar beet. I. B. Cadawalader
has tried them and found that they do
well and claims that they can be raised
at profit. =. B. Garfield has raised
them for five years and finds that they
will grow when all other crops fail.
He raises large quantities of them for
table use and for feed and is certain
that they can be proftably produced
on Sherman county soil. A. o. Glenn
ents has been studying the matter and
adding to his knowledge Of the vege
table by corresponding with beet raisers
of Nebraska and California. He says
that our estimate last week Of from
three to five tons per acre is much to
small, that 13 to 10 tons would be much
nearer the average yield, and that at S.
per ton, the prevailing price, the value
of an acre of these beets would be 570
The beets root deep. in the ground,
requiring deep and intense cultivation,
and although there is plenty of hard
work attached to the industry, the pro-
fits made from them more than atone
for the labor expended. In Nebraska
the farmers count the beet crop as
almost infallible, growing readily
when other crops are destroyed by
drOuth.
If the farmers of Sherman county
would successfully demonstrate that
the beets could be grown here there is
no doubt but that a sugar factory
would be started to consume tine pro-
duct. The industry is a valuable one,
and profitable opp Aunity will have
been lost should it be overlooked.
In the California beet country rents
and lands are very high, and yet the
growers are making a good thing out of
their crop. Sherman county is nearly
as we'll adapted for this use as are the
California lands, leaving no reason why
an immense profit could not be made
from the growth Of that vegetable.

Prayer and BenedictiOn.
An Emergency Rate Wanted.

A delegation of OberIin citizens,
headed by James H. Lathrop, the we'll
known Populist politician, called at
the headquarters of the different rail
road companies at Topeka the other
day and asked for an emergency rate
on eastern Kansas fruit west and west
ern Kansas potatoes east. The delega-
tan stated that fruit was going to
waste in eastern Kansas because Of the
overproduction and cheap prices, and
that western Kansas potatoes we're
going to waste for the same reason.
The freight rates, the delegation claim
ed, were so high that fruit and potato
growers could not ship at a profit,
hence the request for a lower rate, The
matter was taken under advisement by
the railroad people.

A NeW Corn.

Osborn county farmers are expert
menting with a new kind Of maize
called the Dakota corn. The corn is
of the 80 day variety. and while the
stalks are small, nearly every stalk
contains two well-developed ears. The
trouble with most corn in this section
Of country is that it takes too long to
mature and often gets caught by the
dry fail weather. If this variety can be
grown here in 90 days it would take q
decidedly disastrous season TO cat

Increased Tse of NInttnn.

1t is not altogether the cheapness of
mutton that is leading people to use it
more freely. They have learned that
it is an excellent and healthful meat
and the consumption of mutton in the
United States is six times as great in
1898 as it was in 1887 We are undoubt-
eddy killing off sheep faster than their
natural increase. This must lead TO
increasing scarcity Of fat sheep for
mutton, and higher prices for the
mutton when marketed. Sheep cannot
be increased very rapidly at the best,
and if our stock becomes depleted it
takes several years to build it up again.
