The only silk mill west of Michigan is
here in Petaluma. The large 1900 spin

Company is one of the chief industries of
the town. Their large brick factory, with
complete modern equipment, has ca
pacity for working 200 people. About 100
men and women take the raw silk through
all the various processes, and the output is
an almost endless variety of knitting, spool
and embroidery thread.
The spooling and boxing department
shows the gorgeous result of spindles and
dyes. Here is seen threads OF all degrees,
from the finest sewing-thread to the rope

WASHINGTON, d. c., April Sir
Julian Pauncefote, the British Ambassa-
dor, has furnished to the Department of
State a copy of a circular issued by the
West India Committee of London concern
ing sugar production. The Ambassador
explains that it is not to be regarded as an
expression of opinion by his government
of the committees views.
The circular calls attention to the fact
that the sugar industry, beet as well as
cane, is passing through a crisis of the
most serious description, and expresses the
hope that in attempting to provide rem
edy the various governments should avoid
taking any steps which may aggravate the
crisis instead of relieving it. 1t is shown
that while the production is increasing at
the rate of million tons per annum the
consumption grows slowly at the rate of
only 100000 tons per annum. Naturally
prices are depressed, and the bounty sys-
tenn is ascribed as the cause of this state of
affairs. Therefore it advises the entira

f. Sweed, one of the best workers in the
real interests of Petaluma, has a thor

Sweed is president of the school board,

leading citizens, who have given the best
efforts of their lives to the upbuilding of
the schools.

visiting the lower grades one is astonished
at the knowledge shown by the children.
The answers given to historical questions
by Tesa Sweed and Pearl Wimans, two
little girls who are not more than 10 years
of age were simply marvellous.
EOne of the latest improvements in the
town is the really imposing modern build
ing erected by w. H. Pepper for free
kindergarten. 1t has just been opened,
but seventy-five smiling tots come trooping
in every morning to have their little minds
trained to truth, work and unseltish cheer

games prepare the children for the more
thoughtful yet light tasks which follow.
The young ladies in charge, who are
from the San Jose training school for kin
dergartens, seem very earnest, loving and
unselfsh, and, above ALL enthusiastic in
their work. The beautiful building, on
fine centrally located piece of ground, was
given by Mr.. Pepper, with an ample en-
dowment, into the hands of Joseph Camp
bell, William Haskell and J. L. Wimans,
who are to act as trustees. Surely it is a
noble philanthropy.

In looking over the last annual report OF
the State Viticultural Board of California
for the years 1898 and 1894 the conclusion
is arrived at that the wine-growing indus-
try of California has been for several years
in state of stagnation; that there has
been an excess of production; that the
price of the wine has been lower, although
the improvement with a view to increasing
the consumption and open new markets
for it have been constant and real and have
resulted in general demand for California

La PORTE, IND, April IA murder
was committed here at an early hour this
morning, the victim being Henry Farm
helm, a house-painter, about 25 years of
age, whose death resulted from single
blow from his father-in-Iaw's fist.
Farnheim had for long time terrorized
his young wife, being especially abusive
when drinking, and she. as well as her
fathers family, stood in deadly fear of him.
About L o'clock this morning, while in
toxlcated, he went to his home, where both
families live in double house. He at
once commenced to abuse his wife and
finally choked her. Her screams awakened
her father, Jacob OFT, and as he entered
the door she warned him to be careful, as
her husband was armed with hammer.
Without further ado OFT struck him a
powerful blow on the head with his fist,
knocking him senseless. He soon revived,
however, but commenced to spit blood,
and his death ensued about an hour later.
OFT voluntarily surrendered himself to the
officers and was locked up. Young Farm
helms brother was killed here few years
ago by being stabbed while engaged in a

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, April THE eld-

conference of the Recognized Church of
Jesus Christ, Latter-day Saints, at indie
pendence, spent the day attending the Diff
ferent services arranged for the Sabbath.
The first service was the social meeting at
ga. M. conducted by Elders Pitt and Rog-
ers. 1t was followed at IL o'clock by the
annual sermon, delivered by the venerable
head of the church, Joseph Smith. The
sacrament was administered during the
morning service.
There is always the greatest interest in
the service conducted by the aged presi-
dent, and this one, being held in the
church So near the site of temple lot, !"
where the new temple is to be erected, was
especially interesting and impressive.
The Saints attending the conference feel
that the general public is prejudiced
against them and their churches on ac-
count of the departure by certain sect OF
the church from the original doctrines OF
the church. In speaking to-day on this
subject, Elder Sheehy said: eve are not
well understood in many places and people
have feeling against US that proper infor-
nation will certainly remove. We believe
that God is too good to damn humanity,
and we believe that humanity is very much
too good to be damned. Our doctrines are
in many respects not very different from
those OF other churches. We have some
points similar to the Presbyterian Church
and others similar to other churches. We
have theology plainly defined, and oul
teachings are for the betterment of human
ity and the promotion of all good"

OMAHA, NEBR., April New York

Nebraska until they are passed upon by

only thing left for the State to do will be
to cash them out of the school funds and
